Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Final

The final is finally in the spotlight. Although there were only 10 players on the field, the enthusiasm of the crowd was unprecedentedly high. They all want to see who can make it to the top three and thus qualify for the Spirit Tower.

The knockout round and the promotion round test the basic skills and creativity of the players, and the people who can enter the finals are basically the same in these two events, so they can only excel in the level and grade of alchemy.

Since alchemy itself has a certain degree of chance, the grade of the pill not only depends on the quality of the medicinal materials and the level of the refiner, but also has a certain element of luck. Therefore, this time, the final alchemy guild did not provide medicinal materials to the contestants, but prepared them by themselves, and within the specified time, they came up with the most proud works to compete.

In this way, the proficiency of the players is especially important. Because if a large number of pills can be refined in a short period of time, the possibility of high-grade pills will inevitably appear is much greater.

With the experience of crazy refining medicine in the North District, this aspect is naturally not a problem for Duan Yun. As for the medicinal herbs, he didn't need to worry about it at all, in addition to the ones he brought out from the Shengtian Academy, Xie Tian also gave him a lot of support. Therefore, Duan Yun has great confidence in this final.

Unbeknownst to him, with the start of the final, a conspiracy against him also began.

With the referee's order, the ten players lined up and began to prepare in full swing. Duan Yun was surprised to find that for some reason, Hei Zhai specially chose a location closer to him. Originally, Duan Yun didn't care, but inadvertently, he saw Ye Feng looking at him with a hint of weirdness. This made him secretly vigilant.

What Duan Yun decided to refine was the fourth-level elixir Soul Gathering Pill that restored spiritual power. Because from the name of the Spirit Tower, it can be known that being in it will inevitably consume a lot of spiritual power. And a person's spiritual power is always limited, if there is no spiritual elixir to supplement it, it is bound to not go far, let alone get that battle formation technique.

Following the steps, Duan Yun methodically completed all aspects of refining the Soul Gathering Pill. With the internal force containing earth fire, coupled with the strong spiritual power as a guide, everything seems to be smooth.

However, at the moment when he was about to become a Dan, a sense of crisis suddenly rose from Duan Yun's heart. And this sense of crisis comes from Hei Zhai, who has not started alchemy next to him.

The time of the final is especially precious, everyone else is busy wholeheartedly, but Hei Zhai always keeps his eyes closed, as if he is brewing something.

At the moment when Duan Yun looked at him, he saw Hei Zhai's tightly closed eyes suddenly open, and there was a sleepy aura in his eye sockets, where there was not a trace of the whites of his eyes.

This aura was even more powerful than when Duan Yun first saw Hei Zhai. Although he had already taken precautions, Duan Yun's mind still lost for a short time. The pill that was about to be completed lost its guidance and suddenly turned into a pile of waste residue.

The peculiar smell emitted by the waste residue made Duan Yun, who was about to indulge, wake up, and before he could react, he saw two cold rays of light shoot out from Hei Zhai's eyes, piercing his mind, and after sending out this attack, Hei Zhai's spirit suddenly withered.

Spiritual Attack!Duan Yun realized Hei Zhai's intentions at this time, but at this time, it was too late, and an incomparable spiritual force instantly surrounded Duan Yun's mind, and he launched an attack frantically.

Duan Yun's spiritual power is not strong, and even the fire attribute attached to it can melt away ordinary spiritual attacks. However, under Hei Zhai's attack, he completely lost the ability to defend. In a trance, he seemed to hear a strange voice ringing in his head: "Duan Yun, don't blame the old man for being ruthless, blame you for standing on the wrong team, Jiji!"

With a "plop", Duan Yun, who lost consciousness, fell heavily to the ground. The alchemists next to him didn't know what was going on, and they all looked at Duan Yun who fell to the ground with a stunned expression. Suddenly, puffs of black smoke rose from the furnace in front of them.

"Damn, when will it be impossible to fall, but at the most critical time of Lao Tzu's refining medicine, this furnace of elixir is considered blind......" The alchemist named Li Hai couldn't help but scold.

"yes, yes, mine also failed, blame this unlucky kid. There was a burst of scolding on the field.

"Hmph, refining medicine can refine itself to the ground, I'm afraid this is also unprecedented. It's ridiculous that you can still enter the finals at this level!" Ye Feng naturally knew what was going on, he snorted coldly and said.

Duan Yun didn't know what kind of impact his fall would have on the people around him, let alone what the players were talking about. At this time, he was in a dangerous situation.

Hei Zhai's spiritual attack was breaking through the last line of defense in his mind. If this line of defense is lost, Hei Zhai's strong spiritual power will completely turn Duan Yun into an idiot, and he will no longer have his own consciousness.

At this moment, the Tree of Mental Power seemed to sense a threat, and its trunk shook violently. And in this swing, Duan Yun's remaining spiritual power seemed to have heard some kind of call, and gathered towards the tree of mental power.

The Tree of Mental Power wrapped around these spiritual powers at an unimaginable speed, constantly rubbing and squeezing them with its branches. Soon, a sphere formed by spiritual power appeared. The ball grew smaller and smaller, eventually forming a thumb-sized seed that took hold.

The reduction in volume makes the fire attribute contained in this kind of seed more concentrated, and the destructive power is naturally more powerful. At the moment when the seed formed, the branches of the Tree of Mental Power suddenly slammed and quickly ejected it.

A miraculous scene happened. Originally, Hei Zhai's spiritual power was raging, but at this moment, as if he had encountered a nemesis, he was constantly incinerated by the high-intensity flames of this spiritual power seed into wisps of ownerless spiritual energy, and then inhaled it.

With the replenishment of these spiritual powers, the power of the seed is even stronger. Under the elimination of the other, the spiritual power of Hei Zhai's invasion was gradually eroded.

"No, how can this be, I'm not reconciled!" With a terrible wail, the war in Duan Yun's mind finally calmed down.

Without the intruders, Duan Yun's consciousness gradually recovered. He opened his eyes, patted the dust off his body, and got up from the ground with a grunt.

"Guys, what's wrong with you. If you don't hurry up to refine the pill and prepare for the competition, what are you watching me do?" Duan Yun looked at the alchemists around him who gritted their teeth in confusion.

Listening to Duan Yun's words, everyone was speechless. So many people have suffered, but the culprit is still like a nobody.

"Boy, look at our Dan Furnace. If it weren't for you making this scene, how could we have failed in alchemy?" Li Hai said angrily.

Only then did Duan Yun notice that except for Ye Feng's Dan Furnace, the rest of the Alchemists' Dan Furnaces were all scorched black. Recalling the previous scene, he scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "That...... Cough...... I had a brain attack, and I didn't expect to cause you so much trouble...... Next time I promise it won't be like this again......"

"Do you dare to have a ...... next time" everyone's noses were about to crooked. However, they also had no choice but to mumble and walk towards their Dan furnace.

"Don't you want to say something?" Duan Yun turned his gaze to Hei Zhai and said coldly.

"I have nothing to say, I announce my withdrawal from the competition. "After using the secret method, Hei Zhai's current state is obviously unable to continue the game. As he spoke, he wanted to walk out of the field.

"Do you want to just leave? Your Excellency's 'old man' doesn't know how to explain it?"

As soon as Duan Yun said a word, all four of them were shocked.
