Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Huo Tu smiled seeing the explosion, but suddenly Alex appeared in front of him and hit him directly on the head with his blade. The attack did absolutely nothing to Huo Tu, but Alex's presence did anger him.

Alex immediately stepped back. His heart was beating crazily as he realized how close he was to being hurt. If he hadn't sent out the sword in time and teleported to its shadow, he would've taken serious damage right there.

He looked at the two small holes in the place where the talisman exploded. 'Was that damage in the Meridian tempering realm? I need to be more aware of my surrounding,' he thought and activated focus mode.

Suddenly, time slowed down. All the senses around him amplified, including what he picked up from his spiritual sense. His beating heart was just as loud as the rest of the crowd watching the fight.

The lights around him were brighter and he could more distinctly see the hideous face of Huo Tu. The smell of smoke and dust was in the air from the recent explosions. He could feel the fluctuations in the air made by the last 2 explosions.

He saw Huo Tu reach into his storage bag once more. This time, however, instead of a talisman, he took out a pill. "How did you survive that?" Huo Tu asked but got no response.

He got angry and threw the pill right at Alex. Alex was prepared, however. He simply made a fist and punched out. A massive golden fist flew out from him and traveled towards Huo Tu. In the middle, the pill and the Fist met, creating another massive explosion.

This time, Alex too stood unphased by the shockwaves. Huo Tu got angry and took out another 2 pills. Alex wanted to use another technique but wasn't given any chance.

The two pills flew out and struck just below Alex. Alex didn't move.

BOOM

Another giant explosion rang out. This fight had ended up being a battle of explosion. The audience waited with bated breath to see what happened as the smoke and dust cleared.

Alex emerged out barely damaged at all. He definitely took the damage, but the most it seemed to have done was make him disheveled. Alex's heart, however, was beating faster as he realized he just survived another close call.

'Like I thought. Elemental Guidance technique works with the pills explosions,' he thought. Huo Tu started to get even angrier.

He took out dozens of talismans and pills at once. 'Just how many of those does he have?' Alex was shocked to see the many pills and talismans with him. 'I guess that makes sense since he is the son of that fat merchant. He must really spoil his son to make him turn out like this,' Alex thought.

Huo Tu started to throw pills after pills talismans after talismans. Alex too threw whatever he could at the incoming attacks.

Elusive Heavenly Sword 2nd and 3rd Strike, Elemental Guidance, Iron Fist Punch, and Palm of the Sun. 'Sh*t. I don't think I can stand the onslaught anymore. I will have to finish this match in one shot,' he thought.

He kept throwing whatever he could at his opponent and waited for his opponent to end his current supply of 'attacks'.

Finally, the moment came. Huo Tu threw his last pill and Alex threw a massive yellow palm towards the incoming pill. Immediately afterward, he slid his 2 fingers from another hand across the blade.

Suddenly, the sword started glowing golden. He then made an arc around him with the sword. At specific intervals, the sword left a golden after image where it passed through.

After leaving the final golden image, the light in the sword disappeared, and all that remained were the 5 golden sword images on top of him. This was the final attack technique he had learned called the Penta Blade Technique. It was a heaven-grade technique that made 5 images of the blade using Qi. All 5 images would be as strong as a normal attack from the sword.

The technique could only be learned by people with Metal spiritual roots. This was the final technique Wen Cheng had given him and perhaps his strongest Qi-based attack.

The 5 blade images on top of him slowly started to tilt on his command and targeted Huo To. When he saw this, Huo Tu disregarded the need to take out more pills for now and prepared to take the full brunt of the attack by himself.

Dark lines appeared on his skin as he used Jade Skin to protect himself.

"Go." With a single command, all 5 of the sword flew directly towards Huo Tu. Golden light shined through the air as they passed by and hit Huo Tu.

BOOM

No explosions occurred but shockwaves still appeared. Huo Tu blocked the attack with just his body and smiled.

But then, suddenly, his eyes turned white and he fell to the ground.

Huff Huff

Alex breathed heavily as he stopped using focus mode and finally caught his breath. Huo Tu was in front of him unmoving, and the Elder waited for him to stand up.

But Alex knew he wasn't going to, at least not for a while now. He doubted someone in the meridian realm could withstand a full onslaught of Heaven's Impact, an attack that made Ma Rong nearly lose consciousness.

Hidden Behind the brilliant golden light of the Penta Blade technique was an undetectable fist made up of Spiritual energy that attacked Huo Tu's mind, suddenly fainting him.

"Elder, the match is over," Alex said, jolting the Elder out of his delusions. The Elder walked up to Huo Tu to make sure he was in fact unconscious and then looked at Alex in horror.

The stage was full of holes and needed repair. That was what these two people's fight had done.

The Elder couldn't imagine how an Organ tempering 3rd realm cultivator had defeated a Meridian Tempering 3rd realm cultivator. The result was just way too absurd.

"Elder, the result," Alex reminded once more.

"Ah, Fight Over." The Elder shouted out shocking the entire audience. Alex slowly walked up to the Elder and took his badge number 86 and left. Leaving the Elder and Audience in total silence.
