Path of Alchemy Mastery-Chapter 246 - 247: The Reincarnation Armor Reappears

"Wang Cai, what does it mean to succeed? Does it mean I have to kill him?"

Being used as a punching bag and thrown around was an experience Mu Can had never had before. If it weren’t for his body’s terrifying strength achieved through the Mystic Dragon Nine Revolutions Cultivation Technique, just a few punches from this young man could have killed him.

"Against the human-shaped Heavenly Tribulation, you don’t need to kill it. As long as you can last the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, it will gradually dissipate. Then you’ll be considered to have passed. However, passing this way will have a certain impact on your future," answered Wang Cai.

"Wang! Heh heh, but lad, you won’t be beaten to death within the time it takes an incense stick to burn, right?"

Wang Cai chuckled, and his schadenfreude made Mu Can’s teeth itch with irritation.

"Cut the chatter. Does this human-shaped Heavenly Tribulation have any weaknesses?" Mu Can knew that now was not the time to quarrel with Wang Cai. He shouldn’t forget that there were still three more Heavenly Tribulations waiting for him after this one.

"It indeed has a weakness. Kid, feel it carefully. The strength of this human-shaped Heavenly Tribulation is only slightly higher than yours. If you can unleash all of your strength, maybe you could directly kill it. And I’ll tell you a secret, if you can successfully kill the human-shaped Heavenly Tribulation, you would receive a bit of Qi Fortune bestowed by heaven and earth. But if you just drag out the time to pass it, you will have a bit of your Qi Fortune taken away."

Luck determines a person’s opportunities, but Qi Fortune determines their future.

Mu Can obtaining the Reincarnation Pearl was a stroke of immense Qi Fortune.

This Heavenly Tribulation could actually extract the Qi Fortune of those undergoing it in an imperceptible manner—it was indeed a bit sinister.

"Extract my Qi Fortune?" Mu Can pushed his Breeze Realm movement technique to the extreme, narrowly dodging the young man’s strike and swiftly moving away.

"Qi Fortune, although ethereal, is very real. In the past, the old master conducted an experiment about Qi Fortune. Tsk tsk tsk, an ordinary person who was destined never to enter the Void Level, after receiving immense Qi Fortune, had their fate completely overturned. Wang wang wang! You have to work hard, kid, this bit of money might just be crucial to your future."

Having said that, Wang Cai stopped talking, ready to watch Mu Can’s next move.

There was still something Wang Cai hadn’t mentioned: that extracting someone else’s Qi Fortune was something only a Great Power on the level of those who could steal from the Heavenly Dao could achieve. Now, relying on the will of heaven and earth, Mu Can actually had a chance to extract others’ Qi Fortune, which was truly an incredible opportunity.

"I understand, wanting to extract my Qi Fortune won’t be that easy."

To Wang Cai’s surprise, Mu Can charged forth with a howl, taking the initiative to attack.

The young man seemed to be shocked by Mu Can’s reckless aura.

Originally, this was a manifestation of the will of heaven and earth, without the capacity for independent thought, acting solely on the instincts endowed by that will of heaven and earth.

Ah!

With an angry roar, Mu Can fiercely collided with the young man, tightly grasping him.

It took a moment for the young man to realize that he was being actively attacked.

He lifted his fists and smashed them hard on Mu Can, who was holding onto him.

Bang!

Mu Can took the punch head-on and used his head to fiercely ram into the young man’s nose.

Ah!

Now it was the young man’s turn to scream. The young man was a creation of the will of heaven and earth, entirely imitating the appearance of a Cultivator; therefore, the nose was still a weak point. Hit hard by Mu Can, the young man felt pain for the first time, but more so, humiliation.

You must understand, the young man represented the face of the will of the Mortal World, the heavenly and earthly dao, which regards Mu Can as one would a looking down to inspect an ant. Now, the young man was actually injured by the ant he looked down upon, this was completely unforgivable.

"What’s all the racket!" snarled Mu Can viciously.

Bang!

Still firmly latching onto the young man, Mu Can delivered another ferocious headbutt, slamming into the young man’s face.

The force of that collision was so great that the youth’s entire body flickered with electricity, and he nearly lost physical form.

Mu Can only then had the opportunity to observe the youth. While the youth’s appearance showed no difference from a Mortal World Cultivator, Mu Can acutely felt the immense Life Energy within the youth’s body, which was filled with a violent aura.

"Wang Cai, I need to tell you something."

Mu Can held tightly onto the youth, but communicated with Wang Cai in his Sea of Consciousness.

"Woof! What is it? You’re not thinking of asking me to take action, are you? Relax, you’re not going to die. But I won’t take action unless it’s absolutely necessary," Wang Cai replied lazily, seemingly unconcerned about the danger Mu Can was currently facing.

"It’s not about that. This human-shaped Heavenly Tribulation contains a huge amount of Life Energy, and I want to ask if you can make use of it?"

Mu Can had barely finished speaking when he heard Wang Cai’s urgent voice.

"Woof! Woof! Woof!"

"Speak human language."

"Damn, you really didn’t lie to me." Wang Cai sensed for a moment.

The youth, firmly confined by Mu Can, also became anxious and started to struggle violently.

A great force came through, Mu Can was unprepared, and in an instant, the youth broke free.

"Sword come!" The youth called out softly as soon as he escaped the confinement.

This was also the first time Mu Can heard the youth speak, his voice clear and refreshing, like a valley after the rain.

Following the youth’s summons, a golden light shot down from the Tribulation Cloud of lotus flowers above his head, and looking again, the youth now held a Longsword in his hand.

"One Sword Frost Freezes Nine Provinces."

The Longsword in hand made a flourish, slashing through the air towards Mu Can.

The temperature around suddenly dropped, the air itself seemed to freeze, and white pear blossoms formed in the air, shooting towards Mu Can.

"Good sword." Sword Venerate’s eyes widened as he stared intently at the youth in the arena.

Xuanyuan Mingkong, from afar, seeing the sky filled with pear blossoms, uncontrollably took a few steps forward.

"This One Sword Frost Freezes Nine Provinces, the signature technique of Dean Kangming, that youth is actually Dean Kangming."

"Are you sure? Didn’t Dean Kangming disappear long ago?" Ge Lao looked incredulous.

Xuanyuan Mingkong took a closer look. The presence of the Heavenly Tribulation greatly impacted his Divine Sense.

"Is there a way to shield against Heavenly Dao? I want to use the Reincarnation Armor."

"It’s possible."

"Reincarnation Armor." A stream of light emerged from Mu Can’s body, and the Silver Armor appeared again.

With the Silver Armor on, Mu Can’s aura surged, facing the sky full of pear blossoms, he charged forward.

Without any regard for the pervasive Sword Qi, he lunged towards the sword-wielding youth. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

Bang!

With one punch, the youth was sent flying, and their roles were reversed.

"It’s your turn now." When had Mu Can ever been treated like this before? When he was previously beaten into a punching bag, he was filled with rage. Now, having the strength to counter the youth, he attacked the youth fiercely.
