19: Having strength is madness

“Damn it! This old guy actually has real strength?”

“Simultaneously suppressing three Blood Centipedes, refining High Grade Tier 2 Medicinal Pills in ten minutes, with a 100% pill formation rate. Even Dean Feng Qingyang couldn't do better, could he?”

“No wonder he dared to bet his life with Teacher Shen; he really is capable!”

“Perhaps in the entire Martial Arts Academy, only Dean Feng could be stronger than him!”

Everyone's admiration spread; where was their earlier disdain?

Liu Jiangyi successfully used his strength to silence everyone!

On the viewing platform.

Shen Bing's beautiful eyes were also wide with surprise, unable to believe what was happening before her.

“Amazing! Brother Liu is indeed no Mortal!”

Feng Qingyang gave a thumbs up, unable to help but exclaim in admiration.

“Oh, no, no, it's just my usual level,” Liu Jiangyi said with a calm smile.

Behind him.

Feng Linger's eyes, however, were filled with despondency.

By now, everything was clear.

Liu Jiangyi hadn't given up the competition at all; he was just so confident that he appeared calm.

But at the same time, she felt a little unconvinced.

Because if she hadn't been so greedy, she would have also refined a High Grade Tier 2 Medicinal Pill.

Although her speed and pill formation rate weren't as good as Liu Jiangyi's, she wouldn't have lost so badly.

“Ling'er, don't be sad.” Feng Qingyang noticed Feng Linger's disappointment and comforted her, “You are only in your early twenties, while Brother Liu is nearly fifty.”

“When you reach Brother Liu's age, you will naturally have such a foundation.”

Feng Qingyang's comfort finally made Feng Linger feel a little better.

Although Liu Jiangyi was more impressive.

But she was twenty years younger than Liu Jiangyi; to have such strength at her age was already quite good.

Feng Qingyang turned back to Liu Jiangyi and said, “Brother Liu, I have acknowledged your strength.”

“However, this third round of competition is an Academy rule, so we still need to symbolically compete.”

Liu Jiangyi nodded, “Of course, but Dean Feng doesn't need to hold back; I am confident.”

Thump!

These words instantly froze Feng Qingyang's expression.

“Damn it! What does he mean by that? Does he think he's even more powerful than Dean Feng?”

“I'm dying of laughter; I admit this old guy has strength, but isn't he being a bit too arrogant?”

“Even looking at the entire City 39, Dean Feng is among the top Alchemists. He only won against a Genius student, and he dares to be so inflated?”

“Hmph! Dean Feng, don't hold back; give this arrogant guy a good lesson!”

Feng Qingyang frowned deeply and said displeased, “Brother Liu, it's true you have strength, and it's true you saved my granddaughter, but isn't it a bit disrespectful to act so superior in front of me?”

Liu Jiangyi proudly said, “Respect is earned through strength, not through words.”

What was Liu Jiangyi's character?

Either don't do it!

Or if he does it, he's not afraid of being high-profile!

Since he's already done it, why be so timid and submissive? How stifling would that be?

He was a cheat!

His status and aura must be present!

“Good, good, good!” Feng Qingyang said 'good' three times in a row, fuming.

“You're impressive; then don't blame me for not holding back!”

Feng Qingyang snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and strode towards the Pill Furnace.

He formed a hand seal with his right hand and pointed it sharply towards the bottom of the Pill Furnace.

Boom!

A green flame appeared out of thin air, and the scorching temperature instantly spread.

“Earth Fire! It's Earth Fire!”

“This is Dean Feng's signature technique! This Earth Fire can not only increase the pill formation rate but also accelerate the pill refining process and stabilize the Medicinal Pill's potency!”

“Tsk tsk tsk, Dean Feng is directly using Earth Fire for Alchemy; he's really going to hit this old guy hard!”

Everyone showed expressions of anticipating a good show.

In their eyes, although Liu Jiangyi was powerful, he was an outsider now.

Feng Qingyang was the Dean of Tianwu Martial Arts Academy.

If Feng Qingyang was inferior to Liu Jiangyi, wouldn't that imply that the people of Tianwu Martial Arts Academy were incapable?

So no one hoped Liu Jiangyi would win; they all intended to see Liu Jiangyi make a fool of himself.

Feng Qingyang formed another hand seal with his right hand and pointed, and the Medicinal Pills on the ground actually flew up directly into the Pill Furnace.

His movements were fluid and seamless, and the aroma of medicine instantly burst forth, completely incomparable to Feng Linger's.

Everyone's attention was drawn by Feng Qingyang's perfect movements.

When they finally noticed Liu Jiangyi, they were all stunned!

They saw that Liu Jiangyi was… sleeping again!

“Damn it! This guy is too arrogant! It was one thing to sleep during the competition with Senior Sister Feng Linger, but he dares to sleep during the competition with Dean Feng?”

“Son of a bitch, if this guy doesn't lose, I really can't swallow this anger!”

“Hmph! Arrogant fellow, I thought you really had some skill!” Shen Bing also cursed, annoyed.

However, Liu Jiangyi didn't care about the chatter of the surrounding crowd.

He initially didn't dare to agree to Shen Bing's request because he was afraid that this Martial Arts Academy might actually have some great Dao of Alchemy masters.

But now it seemed that Alchemists in the entire City 39 were just some third-rate fellows.

Therefore, Liu Jiangyi only glanced at Feng Qingyang's movements and knew that he wouldn't need to go all out to easily defeat him.

Feng Qingyang, after all, was older and had a more stable mindset.

He wasn't disrupted by Liu Jiangyi sleeping and proceeded methodically.

Finally, at the fortieth minute, Feng Qingyang opened the Pill Furnace in front of him.

A rich pill aroma instantly permeated the surroundings; even those on the viewing platform could smell it.

Everyone looked intently and saw three Tier 4 Medium Grade Exploding Blood Pills lying within the Pill Furnace!

“Tier 4 Exploding Blood Pills! 100% pill formation rate! As expected of Dean Feng!”

“Heh heh, how will this guy compete now?”

“Let him show off! Showing off comes with a price!”

“He was originally set to become a teacher at the Academy; now he's probably going to be kicked out!”

“Brother Liu, aren't you going to make a move?” Feng Qingyang's half-smiling voice came at this moment.

He picked up the three Medicinal Pills and squinted at Liu Jiangyi.

“Ah~”

Liu Jiangyi stretched and sat up, “Oh? Finished refining?”

Liu Jiangyi just glanced, then looked at his own Pill Furnace, “Alright then, it's my turn.”

Liu Jiangyi's actions made Feng Qingyang even more furious.

He didn't even look at the Medicinal Pills in his hand?

What did that mean?

Such contempt for him?

Feng Qingyang gritted his teeth in anger, feeling his dignity greatly violated.

Liu Jiangyi was unconcerned; he lazily shuffled a couple of steps, then waved at Feng Qingyang, “Step back a bit, don't get burned.”

“Hmph! Are you planning to use Blood Centipedes again?” Feng Qingyang said, displeased.

“Blood Centipedes? What are those?” Liu Jiangyi shrugged, then quickly formed a hand seal with his right hand and pointed to the sky.

Boom!

The next moment, a thunderous sound suddenly rang out, and the clear blue sky instantly became covered with dark clouds.

“Heavenly Fire, come!”

Boom!

As soon as he spoke, a bolt of lightning as thick as a bowl descended from the sky, striking heavily upon the Pill Furnace!
