Starting As A Clan Leader: My Rules Are A Bit Wild

Chapter 26: The Finals, Murder!

Self-proposed topic?

In the stands, the densely packed audience was shocked.

In common alchemy competitions, the topics are usually provided by the officials. Even in the finals, the rankings are determined by the quality of the pills produced. But this time, they are judging the value of the pills?!

So, that means...

The grade of the pills may not necessarily be high, but it depends on their overall value?!

The value of a Ninth Grade Condensing Essence Pill may even be higher than that of a Fifth Grade or even a Sixth Grade Profound Essence Pill!

Because Ninth Grade pills are hard to come by and ordinary people can't afford them. They are usually bought by major sects, big families, or second-generation immortals to be used as "candy beans."

So the price has always been high.

"She... she actually made it to the finals?"

Duan Qingyao was even more surprised.

She knew that Xiao Ling'er had a high talent for alchemy, but they had only been in contact for a short time. She didn't expect that Xiao Ling'er had already reached such a level!

Even if she was eliminated now, she would still be considered a genius among the hundred thousand alchemists!

If she goes further...

"Moreover, the self-proposed topic is actually an advantage for her!"

"The benefits of hiding her true abilities should be revealed now."

Duan Qingyao narrowed her eyes.

Her heart was shaken, unable to hide her excitement.

...

"Let's choose the Rank Three Profound Essence Pill, and do our best in terms of quality."

After a brief thought, Xiao Ling'er decided to refine the Profound Essence Pill.

Because she was most familiar with the Condensing Essence Pill, followed by the Profound Essence Pill. The grade of the Condensing Essence Pill was too low, even if she refined a Ninth Grade pill, its value would still be lower. The Profound Essence Pill, on the other hand, was different. As long as she performed well, her chances of winning would be high!

"There is indeed a chance of winning, but the only thing I can't understand is that seemingly not very smart guy."

Liang Danxia agreed, but she remained skeptical.

But she was certain that the guy was definitely not as simple as he appeared.

But she couldn't pinpoint what made him not simple.

Xiao Ling'er felt the same way.

She didn't believe that the guy relied on luck to advance every time.

And...

"We'll know when we try."

"Well, yes, do what you can and leave the rest to fate."

"After all, you shouldn't use the Earthfire here. Refining the Profound Essence Pill is the best choice."

...

After a while, the fourth round began!

The audience's emotions were particularly high.

"Look, that's the third Divine Child of the Feather Clan. I didn't expect his alchemy skills to be so amazing. Look at the materials he's using, is he trying to refine a Fifth Grade pill?!"

"Wow, amazing! Miss Huo Yun'er from the Fire Virtue Sect also chose a Fifth Grade pill!"

"The others are all Fourth Grade... No, there are two Third Grade pills!"

"I don't know where that girl is from, she barely made it through the previous rounds, lucky for her. And that seemingly not very bright boy also relied entirely on luck. They both chose Third Grade pills, which just proves my point."

"Clearly, they lack confidence, otherwise they would have at least chosen Fourth Grade pills!"

"In that case, the champion should be between the third Divine Child of the Feather Clan and Huo Yun'er."

People were discussing animatedly.

...

All twelve of them were busy refining pills.

Xiao Ling'er's movements were still clumsy.

She was still cautious and clumsy.

But the other ten were fully focused and working smoothly.

However, when half of the time had passed, eight of them frowned slightly.

"Damn it!"

Someone looked around and muttered, "Both of them are so skilled at refining Rank Five pills?"

"If they succeed in refining the pills, even if I succeed, it will be difficult to rank in the top three."

"If I don't interfere, I will definitely lose. But if I can make them explode their furnaces..."

Immediately, he looked at the others.

But he found that many people were also looking around and occasionally making eye contact with him.

After a moment, they nodded in agreement.

Before this, they had already secretly contacted each other and discussed a strategy.

At this moment, they had already extracted all the medicinal materials, and all that was left was to control the heat and wait for the refinement to be completed.

Therefore, they could divert their attention.

And when they nodded, the power of everyone's divine consciousness surged, and they simultaneously used a secret technique that could interfere with others' divine consciousness and cause problems with their control.

They were all at least at the third Profound Essence stage of cultivation, and some even reached the fourth Grotto-Heaven Realm.

At this moment, they suddenly made a move together. Although it couldn't be seen or touched, it immediately had a significant impact on Huo Yuner and the third Divine Child of the Feather Clan, causing them severe headaches!

Xiao Ling'er and that foolish Ironhead were affected as well, feeling splitting headaches.

"Ah!!!"

"I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die."

Ironhead exclaimed in shock, picked up the pill furnace, and ran without looking back.

How cunning!

Xiao Ling'er frowned. Caught off guard, she almost suffered a serious injury. Fortunately, Liang Danxia immediately protected her, and with her help, the divine consciousness attack posed no problem.

In the eyes of others, Xiao Ling'er only turned pale for a moment before returning to normal.

On the spectator stands, Duan Qingyao furrowed her brows, particularly worried.

"Hmm?"

At the same time, the Dao Integration Realm cultivator frowned and was about to make a move. "Such despicable means, do they think I'm blind?"

At this moment, Huo Yuner and the third Divine Child of the Feather Clan, who were suddenly attacked for no reason, became furious.

Especially the third Divine Child of the Feather Clan, he took a step forward and said in a low voice, "I will handle this myself!"

The Dao Integration Realm cultivator furrowed his brows slightly but did not immediately make a move.

Huo Yuner was also extremely furious. "You're seeking death!"

She shouted angrily and slapped her storage bag. Instantly, she summoned over a hundred Law Weapons and Spirit Weapons. Then, she spewed out a mouthful of orange flames. In the next moment, all these Spirit Weapons were activated, emitting a terrifying aura as they swept towards the four people who were targeting her!

Boom!

The stone platform around them exploded one after another. The eight people were stunned. "How dare you make a move?! This is the Alchemy Tournament."

They themselves had made secret moves, and as the saying goes, there is no punishment for a group. At most, they would be disqualified. Besides, they would lose if they continued the normal competition. It would be better to try... But unexpectedly, you directly attacked?

"You rats!"

Huo Yuner couldn't be bothered to explain to them and continued her assault.

"You're a bold woman."

The third Divine Child of the Feather Clan chuckled, even more astonishing. His gaze was like lightning, and his feather crown above his head was shining. There was no visible movement, but he easily suppressed the divine consciousness attack.

"You all deserve to die."

He stood up, and the pill furnace behind him rumbled. It didn't explode, but it lost a bit of control.

However, he didn't care. Instead, he looked at the Dao Integration Realm expert and smiled, muttering to himself, "You know your place. They dared to attack this Divine Child, so they deserve to die. If you dare to interfere, my Feather Clan... heh."

Then, he coldly laughed and spoke.

"Alchemy is the hobby of this Divine Child."

"But..."

"Killing is the talent of this Divine Child."

Boom!

At this moment, he erupted completely, his terrifying aura sweeping in all directions, causing the four people who attacked him to change their expressions instantly.

"So powerful!"

"Not good, let's attack together, or we'll all die!!!"

"Kill!"

A fierce battle broke out...

Radiant divine light filled the air. At this moment, the third Divine Child of the Feather Clan displayed an astonishing battle prowess. Even when facing four opponents alone, he was overwhelmingly dominant. In a short period of time, he had them in a precarious situation.

Then, with a single punch, he exploded one of them, turning them into a mist of blood.

Bang!

The pill furnace controlled by that person also exploded...

"Not good!"

They were all terrified.

On the spectator stands, someone stood up and exclaimed, "Where is the referee? Is it allowed to attack and kill in the Alchemy Tournament?!"

The Dao Integration Realm cultivator sneered, "When they attacked, you turned a blind eye. Now that they are being counterattacked, you're making a fuss. It's disgusting."

"Daring to attack will naturally have consequences."

"But they were only causing interference, while this monster has gone on a killing spree..." The person became even more anxious.

The Dao Integration Realm cultivator looked at him coldly, "If you don't agree, you can intervene."
