The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron-Chapter 508 - : 508

Chapter 508: 508

“Fang Lin, don’t act recklessly!” Dugu Nian and Gongsun Xiao both urgently advised. They were genuinely afraid that Fang Lin, in a fit of heated impulse, would try to confront Qin Tianchuan.

Among all the prodigies of Xuan Country, Qin Tianchuan’s strength might not be the absolute strongest, but he was still extremely formidable. No matter how Fang Lin measured it up, confronting him wouldn’t yield any positive results.

Even though Dugu Nian had always acknowledged Fang Lin’s strength, she was not clear about his current capabilities. Rationally speaking, she feared that Fang Lin might not be a match for Qin Tianchuan.

Fang Lin wore a helpless expression: “I don’t want to be impulsive either, but this guy insists on provoking me to thrash him. His peculiar request leaves me no choice but to reluctantly comply.”

Saying this, Fang Lin stepped forward and entered the Martial Arts Academy.

Gongsun Xiao and Dugu Nian’s faces both reflected worry. Especially Dugu Nian—her teeth clenched as she contemplated taking some action.

“Heh, heh!” Qin Tianchuan scoffed coldly and also stepped into the Martial Arts Academy. He stared at Fang Lin with a chilling gaze, an unmasked hint of mockery in his eyes.

“Laugh all you want, but soon your face will be a blooming mess!” Fang Lin retorted, glaring at him.

With a mocking smile, Qin Tianchuan looked at Fang Lin, “Are you really unaware of your own situation? I, Qin Tianchuan, am not like those wastes from the Lower Three Kingdoms. Your measly strength is nothing in my eyes.”

“Thrash this Fang Lin! Show him the strength of us prodigies from Xuan Country!”

“Just a lowly creature from the Lower Three Kingdoms. Does he really think he’s our equal?”

“People from the Lower Three Kingdoms are not worthy to be called prodigies.”

…

Many people ridiculed Fang Lin. No one seemed optimistic about him or rather, to these prodigies from Xuan Country, this appeared to be a one-sided match. Their only interest was in witnessing Qin Tianchuan completely thrash him.

“Nian Nian, what’s your relationship with this Fang Lin?” At that moment, Commandery Princess Xiruo and Saintess Han Li approached Dugu Nian, Princess Xiruo inquired.

Dugu Nian pursed her lips, “He’s just a jerk.”

Commandery Princess Xiruo and Saintess Han Li found her response amusing. The tone of Dugu Nian’s reply didn’t seem like disgust towards Fang Lin, but rather, had an element of playful banter, like lovers teasing each other.

“Nian Nian, this man hails from the Lower Three Kingdoms. In the end, he’s not your kind.” Saintess Han Li spoke in a very calm tone. Her expression was serene and arrogant, as though she was detached from worldly desires.

Dugu Nian didn’t respond, only watching Fang Lin in the academy, her eyes filled with worry and anxiety.

After a glance at each other, Commandery Princess Xiruo and Saintess Han Li saw mutual helplessness. It seemed that Dugu Nian and Fang Lin share a deep relationship. They had never seen Dugu Nian look so concerned about a man before.

Both women held significant status, and had become aware of gossip surrounding the Dugu Family. Silently sighing in their hearts, this would be a difficult situation for Dugu Nian should she have special feelings towards Fang Lin. It would not only cause her suffering but would also harm Fang Lin.

Prince Zhou Yishui sat on the main seat, nonchalantly conversing with several prodigies of Xuan Country, completely indifferent to the impending confrontation in the academy. It seemed as if he had already foreseen the outcome of the duel.

The elderly man in grey, like a shadow, stood silently behind Zhou Yishui, protecting him at every step with his unwavering presence, and his freezing, sharp gaze darted towards the academy.

At this moment, Qin Tianchuan was eager to punish Fang Lin severely.

“Come on, stop dragging your feet.” Fang Lin said impatiently, gesturing at Qin Tianchuan with an extremely casual demeanor.

“Frog at the bottom of a well!” Qin Tianchuan roared furiously, unleashing his aura and lunged with a palm strike towards Fang Lin.

This palm strike was mighty and fierce, the winds surrounding the strike showed that Qin Tianchuan hadn’t underestimated Fang Lin and was giving it his all from the beginning.

Fang Lin was not afraid, clenching his fist and straightforwardly threw a punch in response.

This punch contained the entirety of Fang Lin’s strength, and collided with Qin Tianchuan’s palm with incredible force.

Bang!!!

With a muffled sound, Fang Lin was pushed back a bit, a flash of surprise on his face.

“What a solid palm!” Fang Lin secretly muttered to himself. His punch that condensed all his strength seemed to have gained little to no advantage.

Visibly, Qin Tianchuan’s palm had turned rock-like, incredibly solid, and was surrounded by an extraordinarily profound aura.

“The Earth Power from the Five Elements?” Fang Lin’s eyes flickered. Qin Tianchuan was a prodigy of the Five Elements Sect and was naturally capable of wielding the Power of the Five Elements.

“Is that all your capability? I haven’t fully exerted my Earth Power, yet you can’t even hurt a single hair on my body,” Qin Tianchuan coldly sneered, stirring more Earth Power, one of his arms transforming into rock.

Fang Lin remained silent, his expression still calm.

“Die!” Qin Tianchuan yelled, his stony hand striking forward with astonishing momentum.

Fang Lin had no additional moves, he simply chose to counter with another straightforward punch.

This time, Fang Lin deployed the inherited skill of Breaking Peak – the power of Counterattack.

Bang!

With a muffled sound, Qin Tianchuan’s face turned pale, the rocky plates covering his arm shattered inch by inch.

“Ah!!!” Qin Tianchuan screamed. His arm ached tremendously, as if his bones had been shattered.

He couldn’t believe that Fang Lin possessed such terrifying strength that even his arm shrouded with Earth Power couldn’t resist it.

“What? How can this be?”

“What the hell is Qin Tianchuan doing?”

“It’s hard to believe that Qin Tianchuan is actually losing.”

“This Fang Lin is not simple!”

…

Among the crowd, many people looked surprised, some even gasping. They never expected Fang Lin could gain the upper hand against Qin Tianchuan.

Moreover, it looked like Qin Tianchuan was not lightly injured. His trembling arm appeared to have suffered significant damage.

“Is this all you’ve got?” Fang Lin asked, laughing heartily.

Cold sweat broke out on Qin Tianchuan’s forehead, hate filled his eyes. “I refuse to believe that you can repeatedly use that bizarre power!”

Having said this, Qin Tianchuan swung his other hand, instantly releasing a powerful and overwhelming aura.

Gold Power!

This violent Gold Power, like loads of interwoven swords, emanated a vibe of utter destruction and charged itself towards Fang Lin.

Fang Lin didn’t dare to be negligent. This Gold Power was dangerously potent. Even with his strong physique, he couldn’t endure a direct hit.

In a beat, Fang Lin’s figure flickered and vanished from his original spot.

This scene dumbfounded everyone. Did Fang Lin just disappear all of a sudden? Could it be that he vaporized out of thin air?

Qin Tianchuan was also taken aback. The ferocious Gold Power attacked the empty air, not harming Fang Lin in the slightest.

Only a small group of prodigies, their eyes flickering, seemed to notice something.

“Playing tricks!” Qin Tianchuan sneered, releasing even more Gold Power that swept in all directions, leaving no blind spots untouched.
