Chapter 3837: Deathmatch
F***!
Yan Dong really wanted to curse. Why did you agree? Could it be that you don’t know how
amazing the methods of a Sect Master elite were? He was completely capable of creating a monster in a short period of time.
However, Ling Han had already agreed, so what else could he say?
“Good, very good.” Liu Sanjun nodded, then beckoned Xue Zhan over, “Follow me.”
“Yes, Elder!” Xue Zhan was overjoyed. Since Liu Sanjun had set a deadline of a month, then with his status and ident.i.ty, how could it be that this Elder would slap himself in the face? Thus, he would be completely transformed within a month’s time, powerful to the point of crus.h.i.+ng Ling Han.
This was a great opportunity.
He hurriedly scrambled after Liu Sanjun, and Xue Hai was extremely envious, but there was nothing he could do about it. Who asked him to only be a Foundation Building Tier?
“Sigh, you’re so rash. Why did you agree?” Yan Dong couldn’t help but grumble about Ling Han.
He truly admired this alchemy prodigy. Furthermore, Ling Han actually knew formations as well. He was even more of a prodigy among prodigies, which made him think even more highly of him.
“Do you know that mortal duels prohibit all external power? Tool, Talisman Weapons, formations, and so on aren’t allowed to be used.”
Ling Han really didn’t know, but he didn’t care. Both of them could not use external power, so what did he have to fear?
One month later, would Xue Zhan be able to become a Core Formation Tier elite?
This was impossible. Even a Sect Master elite could not do this. If it was a Saint, it would be more likely.
“With such a bet, it can motivate me.” Ling Han gave a reason. He naturally did not speak his true thoughts — this was a chance to kill Xue Zhan openly and publicly.
Yan Dong was speechless. You are just an alchemist, and now you have the ident.i.ty of Formation Master, but in terms of martial arts, are you really that powerful?
“Ai, you child!” He sighed, and said, “Do you know that a Sect Master elite is capable of molding a Celestial Cauldron for a Cauldron Forging Tier? Though it does not last long, it is more than enough for a battle.”
“Then why does he still need a month’s time?” Ling Han was curious.
Yan Dong was also subconsciously taken aback, then looked shocked, “Unless… that guy, Liu Sanjun, wants to create more than one Celestial Cauldron for Xue Zhan!”
This kind of technique was actually used to help a Cauldron Forging Tier break through. This was because even if he managed to forge a Celestial Cauldron that was unstable and would soon collapse, it would still allow a cultivator to grasp a sliver of an opportunity and gain some comprehension.
However, only a single Celestial Cauldron had to be created for this, and that was enough. There was no benefit in having more. Furthermore, this was extremely damaging to the user’s vitality. What Sect Master elite would have nothing better to do?
Hence, it was very problematic that Liu Sanjun had set a deadline of a month.
-He did not just want to help Xue Zhan forge a Celestial Cauldron, but rather a few, allowing him to temporarily possess strength that surpa.s.sed Ling Han.
Only a Sect Master elite would dare to make such a boast. This kind of technique was indeed heaven-defying.
“Brat, just admit defeat and don’t go to this appointment,” Yan Dong hurriedly said.
Such a prodigy should focus on studying alchemy, and the larger the force, the greater the need for a great alchemist. This was one of the criteria for measuring the strength of a force.
Ling Han merely smiled, “Thank you for your concern, Elder Yan. However, in a battle of equal cultivation levels, I am not afraid of anyone!”
He said these words resolutely and decisively, his confidence soaring.
Yan Dong was also convinced. This was a kind of self-confidence that had even influenced him.
He secretly decided that he would have Ling Han partic.i.p.ate in the battle. If he was outmatched, he would save Ling Han even if it meant sacrificing his pride.
Due to the appearance of the two Elders, the matter today had temporarily cooled down. The authorities of the Holy Land did not say who was in the wrong, but a month later, they would definitely settle accounts.
Rules were rules. Without rules, nothing could be accomplished.
The large black dog, Lin Luo, and the others were all a little worried. How could a powerful Sect Master elite confidently agree to a bet with a deadline of a month be slapped in the face?
Thus, when the time came, Xue Zhan’s strength would definitely undergo an earth-shattering change. He definitely had to be careful.
“I know.” Ling Han nodded, “In this month, I will also strive for another breakthrough.”
The maximum limit of the Cauldron Forging Tier was Nine Cauldrons, but there were pitifully few people that could cultivate to this level. Not only did they need their own natural talent, they also had to have astonis.h.i.+ng fated opportunities.
Thus, Ling Han definitely did not believe that external power could help Xue Zhan reach this step.
Then he would a.s.sume that Xue Zhan could become Eight Cauldrons. This was the highest estimate possible.
He was now at Four Cauldrons, so it shouldn’t be difficult for him to destroy Seven Cauldrons. If he faced Eight Cauldrons, he might not be a match, but it wouldn’t be difficult for him to ensure his safety.
However, Ling Han had never pursued the purpose of just ensuring his safety. What he wanted was victory.
Thus, if he could advance further, and reach Five Cauldrons, then even if Xue Zhan could forge Eight Cauldrons, he would still have the confidence to defeat him.
Everyone was cheering Ling Han on, as well as comforting him to not force himself. That was because he was equivalent to having a battle of arts with a Sect Master elite, so no one would laugh at him even if he admitted his cowardice.
It was difficult to break through to Five Cauldrons within a month!
After advancing into Celestial Path, to say nothing of crossing over a minor level of cultivation level, even taking a small step within a minor level would take a very long time. It would take years at the drop of a hat. Thus, wanting to break through to Five Cauldrons in a month was a little like daydreaming.
Under normal circ.u.mstances, Ling Han wouldn’t dare to have such extravagant thoughts. However, he now knew the location of a medicinal field, and it was practically unguarded.
He decided to steal the medicine.
Stealing was definitely not right, but this was also a special circ.u.mstance. Worse come to worst, when Ling Han attained great dao, he would come back and make up for it. Special times require special measures, and there was no need to adhere too much to the
rules.
At night, Ling Han quietly arrived at that dry well. After entering, he put on the hide of the Void Beast and headed to the medicinal field.
He searched around, and found a few Celestial medicines that could increase cultivation level,
but they had not ripened.
He could only apologize.
Without maturity, the effects would be slightly inferior, but it would definitely be effective.
Ling Han plucked three unripe fruits and returned to his residence. Then, he ingested the fruits and after refinement, his cultivation level instantly shot up. Alchemical pills had a sliver of alchemic poison, and taking too many wouldn’t be beneficial. Instead, it would be harmful. However, natural treasures didn’t have such worries. It was just that there were too few of them, so it was impossible to take them in an unlimited amount.
Ling Han decided that he would go take a look tomorrow.
Time pa.s.sed quietly, and Ling Han was also improving every day, which was very shocking.
The news that he and Xue Zhan were going to have a mortal duel in a month’s time had already spread throughout the entire Holy Land. A great many people had expressed their interest, and when the time came, they would definitely go and join in on the excitement. However, there were also some that appeared disdainful, such as Lin Qi and Gan Ping. They looked down on Ling Han greatly, and thought that Ling Han could only borrow external power. In terms of personal strength, he was only an ordinary Four Cauldrons.
This was naturally naked jealousy, because Ling Han actually killed a Core Formation Tier cultivator. What other Cauldron Forging Tier cultivator could do this?
Since they couldn’t do it, they could only nitpick.
