The Puppet Shows Its Might
Looking at the thunderclouds that displayed two colors in the sky, the entire square erupted in excitement at that moment!
Not only that, but everyone in Holy Pill City turned their astonished gazes in that direction.
The Pill Lightning, with its two colors, is something many people are seeing for the first time in their lives!
On the high platform, Qiu Ling also gazed at the Two-Colored Thunder Cloud with a slightly solemn expression. After a moment, he nodded and said, "This Xiao Ming is indeed extraordinary. He actually refined Grade 8 Pill and even attracted Two-Colored Thunder Cloud."
In the world of pills, Grade 8 Pill are considered to be at the very top of the pyramid. Although there is only one grade difference between Eighth Grade and seventh-grade pills, it is a world of difference.
Grade 8 Pill possess spirituality, and even some basic intelligence. In other words, Grade 8 Pill have their own vitality and can be considered as living beings!
Moreover, the classification of Grade 8 Pill is stricter than imagined. Their quality cannot be judged by the naked eye, but by the color of the Pill Lightning's radiance!
The higher the quality of the elixir, the more colors of the Pill Lightning it attracts when it takes shape. It is said that if it can attract Nine-colored Pill Lightning, it means that the elixir has reached the pinnacle of the Eighth Grade!
This level of elixir could probably be called Divine Pill without exaggeration.
The fact that Xiao Ming was able to summon Two-Colored Thunder Cloud means that he has successfully refined Grade 8 Pill, and one that possesses Two-Colored Pill Lightning Grade 8 Pill!
Although only half of the competition has passed, everyone knows that the outcome of this match is already decided!
Between heaven and earth, countless burning gazes were fixed on the tall figure on the stone platform in the sky. The intensity of their gaze was almost fanatical. Who could have imagined that this Grade 8 Pill would come from the hands of a young man who was not even twenty years old?
After today, Xiao Ming's name will resound throughout the entire Central Plains!
Cao Ying's beautiful eyes were also filled with excitement as she stared at the young figure whose expression remained calm under the spotlight. Deep within her beautiful eyes, a strange light flickered. Everyone could tell from this that this enchantress, who was regarded as the most proud woman of the Cao Family, had developed a great interest in Xiao Ming!
Of course, no one can deny that Xiao Ming, who is sweeping aside the older generation of Alchemist at this moment, truly possesses an unparalleled charisma, which comes from success.
Coupled with his already attractive face, he was now a heartthrob for young girls.
The Advanced Alchemist in the square were also startled by the thunderclouds in the sky. Several Alchemist who were trying their best to maintain the temperature of the cauldron accidentally caused a slight change in the temperature!
"Hiss!"
Several strange noises rang out, and a wisp of black mist rose from the medicine cauldron, announcing the outcome of their competition.
The Alchemist exchanged glances and gave each other wry smiles.
Alas, it was already a stretch for them to refine even Peak Grade Seven Pill. This interference led to this disastrous outcome. They not only failed to obtain the Earth Core Soul Marrow in this competition but also wasted the ingredients for one or two Peak Grade Seven Pills. What a huge loss!
However, Xiao Ming can't be blamed for this. This kind of competition also tests the Alchemist's ability to resist interference. If anyone is to blame, it's their own lack of skill.
The contestants who failed in their alchemy attempts weren't in a hurry to pack up and leave; they wanted to see how Xiao Ming would handle the Two-Colored Pill Lightning.
The Pill Lightning from Grade 8 Pill is not easy to withstand!
Ignoring the gazes directed at him, Xiao Ming kept his dark eyes fixed on the medicine cauldron before him, thinking to himself.
"The Bone Regeneration Blood Fusion Pill is complete!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Two-Colored Thunder Cloud in the sky churned more and more violently, with deep rumbles of thunder echoing continuously, and thick, dazzling Thunder of lightning weaving through the clouds.
"Laugh!"
As the thunderclouds churned, they suddenly contracted, and then a bolt of two-colored Thunder, like a giant python, burst forth from the clouds, tearing through space with a terrifying hissing sound, and hurtling fiercely toward Xiao Ming's location with astonishing power.
Despite the Thunder attack, Xiao Ming remained calm. He raised his hand slightly, and the light from the Na Ring on his finger flashed slightly. Then, a dazzling silver figure appeared before him.
The Earth Demon Puppet, having absorbed a large amount of Pill Lightning, have now been completely transformed into Silver Puppet, possessing the strength of Eight Star Dou Zong.
Xiao Ming's sudden action immediately attracted a lot of attention.
This puppet certainly looks imposing, but can it withstand the Pill Lightning of Grade 8 Pill?
"Go!"
Under everyone's gaze, watching the falling Pill Lightning, Xiao Ming smiled, pointed his finger at the void, and softly shouted.
As the shout fell, the silver-glowing Earth Demon Puppet in front of them stomped its foot on the ground, and the powerful force sent it soaring into the sky. Then, to everyone's astonishment, it crashed headfirst into the powerful Thunder.
Those with keen eyesight noticed that the Earth Demon Puppet struck by the two-colored Thunder not only did not shatter, but its aura was actually slowly rising amidst the flashes of Thunder!
"This puppet is absorbing the Lightning Power?!"
Looking at the Earth Demon Puppet that had become even more dazzling after being struck by lightning, Qiu Ling's pupils immediately contracted. He had never heard of such a strange puppet before!
"Boom! Boom!"
The dazzling Thunder, like a roaring dragon across the sky, raged and danced, then brought with it brilliant lightning bolts, sweeping down from the sky and finally almost striking the Earth Demon Puppet's body in mid-air.
The Thunder struck the Earth Demon Puppet's body hard, and a dazzling silver lightning bolt burst forth, instantly transforming into countless tiny electric snakes that continuously flowed Earth Demon Puppet's skin and then burrowed into its body.
Brilliant Lightning Power surged into the Earth Demon Puppet's body, rapidly strengthening its bones and long-dried flesh.
From afar, the Earth Demon Puppet looked like a thunder god, hovering in the sky. Within a ten-foot radius around it, lightning flashed everywhere. The terrifying aura made people's scalps tingle.
Xiao Ming stood with his hands behind his back in the square. The Earth Demon Puppet had taken all the Thunder that were shot at him head-on, which made him extremely relaxed. He didn't have to exert any effort to deal with these troublesome Pill Lightning.
Above the sky, thunder rumbled incessantly, and the churning Two-Colored Thunder Cloud, like Lightning- generating machines, continuously spewed out numerous increasingly powerful and dazzling Thunder, which then struck the Earth Demon Puppet's body.
The turmoil of the Two-Colored Thunder Cloud lasted for nearly ten minutes before gradually subsiding. During those ten minutes, almost a hundred extremely powerful Thunder of lightning streaked out from the thunderclouds. Fortunately, however, these Thunder did not cause any damage to the Earth Demon Puppet. Instead, they caused a faint golden luster to appear on its body surface, which was covered with brilliant silver.
"As expected of the Two-Colored Pill Lightning, this Earth Demon Puppet has already stepped into the threshold of the Heaven Demon Puppet realm. After absorbing a few more Rank Eighth Grade Pill Lightning, it should be able to completely enter the Heaven Demon Puppet realm. Once I've dealt with Old Yao's physical body, I'll have two Dou Zun bodyguards. Even if I have to leave the Pill Tower's area, I'll have some security." Xiao Ming was somewhat delighted.
Boom!
After relentlessly raging for another ten minutes or so, Pill Lightning finally had to give up on this tough nut to crack. The energy fluctuations within the clouds gradually faded, and the thick, oppressive thunderclouds slowly dispersed under the watchful eyes of countless onlookers.
As the thick thunderclouds in the sky dissipated, warm sunlight once again poured down from the sky, shining on the land ravaged by the Pill Lightning. The warmth brought a strange sense of relief to many people.
