Chapter 147: Red Fire Thunder Dragon
After speaking, Xiao Bai shook his head, and a red lightning flashed on the two fingers holding the tip of the spear. The lightning was not thick, only the thickness of an ordinary person's little finger, and it kept jumping on the fingertips, and the lightning and fire intertwined, which was very beautiful.
Seeing this red lightning, Tu Shan's face changed drastically. He didn't think the lightning was beautiful at all. Instead, he felt a sense of fear and trembling, and his whole body kept reminding him.
"Danger!"
The red lightning jumped on the fingers for a moment, then suddenly flashed and attacked him directly along the spear. Wherever the lightning passed, the fine steel spear that he had spent a lot of money to build was shattered into pieces, and the broken fragments instantly turned into red iron juice, as if it couldn't withstand the high temperature. After emitting bursts of green smoke, it evaporated before it started to fall.
Seeing this, Tu Shan's pupils suddenly shrank, his face was full of horror, and he didn't have time to think about it. His hands instinctively let go of the spear handle as if bitten by a snake, and his body was about to retreat quickly.
But no matter how fast he was, how could he be faster than thunder? The red lightning was extremely swift. In the blink of an eye, the entire ten-foot-long fine steel spear disappeared, as if it had never existed. Only wisps of green smoke and a red lightning remained in the air.
After seeing the power of lightning, Tu Shan saw that the red lightning was about to strike him. For a moment, his liver and gallbladder were about to break, and his eyes were filled with fear. His body was not harder than that fine steel spear. If the lightning fell on him, how could he still be alive?
On the surrounding stands, a group of students from Jia Nan Academy came back to their senses from the shock of the spear disappearing. Seeing the small red lightning, they couldn't help but shudder inexplicably. Tu Shan's expression did not meet their contempt. If they were in his place, they might be even more miserable than he was!
On the central stand, the elders were surprised to see the power of the red lightning. The old man sitting in the middle could not help but stand up and tried to stop it.
"No need to do anything, Xiao Bai should know the limits!" Elder Huo, who was standing by, was looking at the lightning with shock, and his expression changed slightly, but he saw his movements out of the corner of his eye and interrupted him.
The old man frowned, stopped, and looked at the calm old man Huo. If someone else said it, he would not listen, but this old guy was different. Perhaps it was because he was an alchemist and paid attention to fine control. If he made a mistake, he would fail. He usually took many rules very seriously and was always very strict with his students, but why was he so confident in Xiao Bai today?
"Just watch! Xiao Bai will not kill that kid, but he will be injured!" Elder Huo saw the old man's puzzled expression and did not explain much. After what happened that day, he knew that Xiao Bai should be a rule-abiding person!
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of exclamations from below. Some changes occurred on the competition stage. The red lightning that was about to strike Tu Shan split into two as it approached, one thick and one thin.
After the thick lightning separated, it seemed to have intelligence and turned to another direction, while the thin lightning struck directly on Tu Shan's Dou Qi armor.
"Crack!"
A shattering sound rang out. Everyone only saw the lightning pause on the fiery red armor for a moment, and then the energy on the armor immediately fell apart and scattered. Then, Tu Shan's burly figure suddenly flew backwards, a mouthful of bright red blood spurted out, and his body fell heavily on the stage, still sliding along the ground for several meters before slowly stopping.
"Boom!"
Not far from the competition stage, a loud noise resounded through the square, and smoke and dust filled the air.
After the dust settled, everyone's eyes froze, their faces pale, staring blankly at the scene that appeared in their sight. They saw that the competition platform, which had held countless trials for countless years, but only left a faint trace, had a charred pit with a diameter of about one meter. Moreover, the cracks on the edge of the black pit were spreading outward like a spider web.
Countless eyes swept over the figure on the stage who fell to the ground and vomited blood, and the charred black pit with black smoke. Finally, their eyes fell on the center of the competition platform, looking at the black-clothed young man with deep eyes and calm face on the field with awe. They shuddered in their hearts. The whole square fell into silence for a moment. No one dared to speak, and even breathing seemed to be extra careful, for fear of making a sound and attracting the attention of the black-clothed figure in the field.
The students who participated in the selection looked at each other and decided silently in their hearts that if they met this person, they would immediately admit defeat and never give him a chance to attack. They should also be polite to the freshmen in the future and never be like Tu Shan, who spoke quickly. Who knows if he would offend such a person who can't be provoked?
At this time, a sound of breaking through the air sounded, and more than ten old figures appeared on the competition stage, standing next to the charred pit, constantly looking at it.
Among them, the old man and Elder Huo did not go over, but came to Tu Shan first. After checking for a while, they relaxed their tense mood.
"What do you think? I said that kid has a sense of propriety!" Elder Huo saw the expression of the old man and smiled easily.
"It's really good! It's just a little painful, but not too serious. Take a healing pill, it won't have much impact on the next competition!" The old man stroked his beard, nodded with satisfaction, glanced at the instructor of Xuanjie Class 2 not far away, and ordered: "Take him away!"
"Yes!" The instructor of Xuanjie Class 2, a middle-aged man, nodded hurriedly, took two students, and hurriedly carried Tushan to treatment.
Beside the black pit, a group of elders looked at the black pit for a while, and felt the residual thunder and fire energy in it, and talked about it.
"Tsk tsk. This power reminds me of Heavenly Flame!"
"Yes, I thought it was some kind of strange dou skill, but now it seems that it is not! It's a kind of strange thunder, which is as powerful as some heavenly fire. But speaking of heavenly fire, there seems to be a kind of heavenly fire that has thunder attributes, right?"
"Yes, the heavenly fire ranked twelfth on the heavenly fire ranking list, the Nine Dragon Thunder Fire, contains thunder and fire attributes, but it is not this red color, but silver!"
"Then what is this thunder? Could it be cultivated by the exercises? But the cultivation of the Dou Ling, even if the exercises are strange, a wisp of thunder Dou Qi will not be so powerful, right?"
"Instead of guessing here, why not ask that classmate?"
"Yes! Let's go, let's go!"
A group of old men came to Xiao Bai in an instant, surrounded him, and looked at the young man in black with strange eyes.
"Student Xiao Bai, what is this thunder of yours? We old men are quite curious. Can you tell us?" An old man in gray looked at Xiao Bai expectantly. As for calling him "boy" as before, they couldn't open their mouths. With his performance just now, he was not much worse than them.
"If it's inconvenient to say, then don't say it. These old guys are really going backwards. Why are they asking about other people's privacy!" Elder Huo came over at this time, glanced at these elders with contempt, and said in a mocking tone.
A group of old men glared at him. This old man Huo was really getting more and more unpopular. If it weren't for his status as a fifth-grade alchemist, they would have been rebuked by them long ago!
They didn't force Xiao Bai. They just saw this kind of thunder for the first time and were a little curious. They didn't have any bad intentions!
Normal thunder cultivators cultivate silver color of fighting spirit, and there is no other color at all. If it is fire attribute, it may have some strange colors because of the beast flame or strange fire in the body, but other attributes are different. Most of them have only one color.
"Haha. There's nothing to hide. In my early years, by chance, I got a pill from a Red Fire Thunder Dragon. After swallowing it, the color of my internal dou qi was like this!"
Xiao Bai waved his hand and said with a smile. This was a slight tweak to his earlier story to fit the context, ensuring no one would suspect anything beyond his alchemical prowess.
"Eighth-level Magic Beast, Red Fire Thunder Dragon?" A gray-clothed elder exclaimed. After calming down, he looked at the pairs of puzzled eyes surrounding him and explained:
"Red Fire Thunder Dragon, an eighth-level Magic Beast, is one of the few top-level Magic Beasts on the continent besides the legendary peak Magic Beasts. Thunder and fire are both explosive attributes, so this kind of Magic Beast has extremely strong combat power and is at the top of the eighth level. However, in the past thousand years, there has been very little information about this Magic Beast. I originally thought that it had disappeared in the long river of time like some other Magic Beasts, but I didn't expect that there is still a Red Fire Thunder Dragon on the continent!"
"This kind of beast pill has the dual attributes of thunder and fire, and its power is extremely great. It is one of the most coveted beast essences by some fire attribute practitioners besides the strange fire!"
After saying that, the gray-clothed elder looked at Xiao Bai thoughtfully and exclaimed: "My friend is so lucky, but I still have some doubts. According to reason, although this beast pill has the thunder attribute, it is still a beast essence. Only the fire attribute should be absorbed into the body, but what are you doing?"
Yes! The elders also reacted. Beast pill, beast pill, no matter what other attributes it has, it is always an essence, just like the strange fire, it also has other attributes, but it should only be absorbed by the fire attribute. But they have read the information of this guy, and it is clearly a thunder attribute!
"Huh? Didn't I say that? I have three attributes of thunder, fire and wood!" Xiao Bai blinked his eyes a little innocently, but the depths of his pupils were full of smiles. He secretly sighed in his heart that the gray-clothed elder was really a good person!
Xiao Bing's skills were not needed in today's competition, but they were still used. Originally, it was just to lay a foreshadowing for the identity of the alchemist, and he wanted to gradually guide it later! Unexpectedly, this gray-clothed elder was like a detective, and his plan was greatly advanced!
There was no way. He was about to enter the inner courtyard. If he wanted to catch a little dragon, the alchemist was the best bait. With this identity, it would be easier to contact her. Otherwise, that little girl would be difficult to deal with. So today's exposure of Xiao Bing was planned, but he didn't expect it to go so smoothly!
"Thunder, fire, wood, three attributes?" The eyes of the elders were full of disbelief. What did they hear? This guy actually has three attributes? Can three attributes be cultivated so fast? It's unheard of!
But they didn't notice that a certain elder who had just come to join in the fun had his eyes brightened at this time, staring at the black-clothed young man in front of him without blinking, as if he was looking at some diluted treasure, and the smile on his face couldn't stop.
Just when these elders came back to their senses and were about to ask some questions again, Elder Huo stood up and blocked Xiao Bai, shouting: "Ask, ask, ask, what the hell, if you keep asking like this, it will be dark, will the competition still be held?"
After that, he turned around, with a smile on his face, patted Xiao Bai's shoulder cordially, and said: "Little guy, let's find a place to talk alone, how about it?"
"Hey, hey, hey, old man Huo, you are not being honest, we can't ask, but you still want to talk alone, what can't you say in front of everyone?" The elders realized that this was still the selection stage, and wanted to give up, but seeing the actions of old man Huo, they were a little dissatisfied.
"He should want Xiao Bai to join the alchemy department! After all, among the three attributes, there are fire and wood attributes, and before seeing him control the thunder in two, I think his soul power is not bad, and he is a good seedling for an alchemist, so of course he can't wait!" The gray-clothed elder who explained before said faintly.
"Oh my god. Old man Huo, you are really lucky!" The other elders suddenly realized that the Alchemy Department is not directly under the Inner Court or the Outer Court, but is independent of the Outer Court and the Inner Court. There is no conflict between Xiao Bai joining the Alchemy Department and joining the Inner Court.
"Haha. You can envy me! Xiao Bai will be a student of our Alchemy Department from today!" Elder Huo saw that everyone had reacted, and he didn't mind. Anyway, their purpose of coming today was frustrated. He didn't have any ideas, but he brought a genius to the Alchemy Department.
"Come on, Xiao Bai, follow me, I will take you to the Alchemy Department to have a look. By the way, I will tell you about the alchemists. I believe that under my guidance, you will soon become a distinguished alchemist. How about it? Do you feel that life is impermanent and happiness comes too quickly! Haha!" Elder Huo glanced at the elders proudly and was about to pull Xiao Bai away.
"But I still have to compete!" Xiao Bai said hesitantly.
"What else is there to compete for? The first place in this year's inner court selection competition belongs to you. Ask these old guys if anyone has any objections?" Elder Huo glared and pointed at the group of elders.
The other elders rolled their eyes. Although what you said is true, can you stop pointing your fingers at us? It's almost poking their faces!
"Yes, Xiao Bai, with your current cultivation level, it is indeed a bit bullying to compete with them. You don't have to participate in the next competition!" The old man who had been silent all the time spoke at this time. His voice spread throughout the square. No one objected, but let the contestants breathe a sigh of relief. Finally, they didn't have to meet this ruthless guy!
"That won't work. I want to participate in the second round!" Xiao Bai was a little anxious. How could he not be allowed to participate in the next competition?
"Why?" Seeing that he insisted, the old man frowned, full of doubts in his heart. The result would be the same whether he participated or not, so why go? Bullying? But although this kid has not been in contact for a long time, he should not be that kind of person!
