<strong><u>Chapter 1046: Heavenly me Test</u></strong>


    The Nine Dragon Lightning me was ranked twelfth on the Heavenly me ranking. There was no one present who was unaware of the strength of this me. Moreover, with Tang Zhen’s unfathomable strength, an ordinary person’s Spiritual Strength would likely be incinerated into nothingness upon contact with it. Although the Spiritual Strength of those here was not weak, they were unable to endure such a test.


    Tang Ying’s words had caused therge hall to be a lot quieter after they were spoken. The alchemists who were filled with haughtiness earlier all recoiled their necks. None of them dared to say anything.


    The two External Elders from the Pill Tower mused for a moment before slowly uttering, “Valley Chief Tang, all of us are aware of how powerful the Nine Dragon Lightning me is. There is a dragon’s might gathered in the Heavenly me. Hence, it possesses the miraculous effect of shocking one’s soul. It is likely that there is hardly anyone present who is able to use one’s Spiritual Strength to endure it.”


    Tang Zhen smiled when he heard this. He said, “Grandmaster Huan, please rest assured that the old me knows my limits with regards to this. I will not allow anyone to be injured. As long as one is able to endure for ten minutes within the Nine Dragon Lightning me, one will be considered to have passed... after all, the person who is aiding me must possess the ability to withstand the Nine Dragon Lightning me. Otherwise, he will only end up being injured.”


    Tang Zhen’s eyes swept over therge hall after saying this. He grinned and said, “Since I have already invited all of you grandmasters over, I will naturally not let anyone waste their trip here. Even if you are unable to endure this Nine Dragon Lightning me, the Burning me Valley will still give everyone a big gift.”


    Everyone in the hall finally began to think objectively after hearing these words. They did not have any grudge with Tang Zhen. Moreover, with the other party’s status, there was no need for him to y any games with them.


    The red-clotheddy looked down at the hesitating alchemist grandmaster in therge hall beside Tang Zhen. The corner of her mouth was involuntarily curled. These fellows were all so afraid when they heard of the Nine Dragon Lightning me. It was as though they were afraid of her father quietly murdering them.


    The red-clotheddy’s pretty eyes suddenly settled on a somewhat deserted spot in therge hall. Coincidentally, she saw a calm-faced Xiao Yan who was holding a teacup. She became slightly startled. This fellow did appear to be quiet calm, but she wondered if this was merely an act...


    “Since Valley Chief Tang has put it this way, it is only natural that we should not act cowardly. Alright, we will perform the test as Valley Chief as proposed...”


    A white-haired, old man swept his eyes around him. He finally nodded his head a momentter and replied.


    The smile on Tang Zhen’s face became wider when he heard this. He flicked his finger and the bundle of silver-colored mes on his palm slowly flew forward. Finally, it was suspended in the air of therge hall.


    The silver-colored mes curled as it burned. Nine tiny fire dragons danced around it, appearing as though the mes possessed an intelligence. Perhaps it was because of the dragon’s might permeating it, but it vaguely caused one’s Spiritual Strength to feel somewhat suppressed...


    “Which grandmaster will try first?” Tang Zhen inquired with a smile.


    Therge hall was quiet for a moment after these words were spoken. Immediately, a white-robed, old man stood up. He cupped his hands to Tang Zhen as he said, “Since no one wants to begin, allow the old me to give it a try. The old me has long heard of the Nine Dragon Lightning me of the Burning me Valley. This trip will not be considered a waste if I am able to test its might today.”


    “Ke ke, it is grandmaster Hua. Please.” Tang Zhen smiled as he responded.


    “This elder is called Hua Chen. He is also an alchemist at the peak of the tier 6 level. He possesses some reputation in the Middle Region.” Elder Chi Huo by Xiao Yan side seemed to be aware that Xiao Yan did not recognize any of these people. Hence, he softly introduced them to him.


    Xiao Yan nodded his thanks to Elder Chi Huo. After which, his eyes turned to the old man called Hua Chen. He was extremely curious about the might of this Nine Dragon Lightning me.


    The old man named Hua Chen clenched his hand and a cluster of deep-red mes rose from his hand. A Spiritual Strength swiftly surged from between his brows as well. After which, it entered the bushel of mes. The mes immediately began to wiggle, transforming into a palm-sized human figure made of fire.


    The fire-human figure waspletely formed from Spiritual Strength. However, he had added ayer of fire protection outside of the Spiritual Strength.


    “This person’s me should be a kind of beast me. However, there is too much of a gap between it and the Nine Dragon Lightning me. It will be unable to endure...” Xiao Yan nced at theyer of red-colored mes while muttering to himself.


    While Xiao Yan was muttering to himself, Hua Chen flicked his finger and the palm-sized fire-human figure rushed out. Finally, it entered the cluster of silver-colored mes in front of everyone’s eyes!


    “Roar!”


    The fire-human figure had just entered the silver-colored me when a deep dragon roar, barely audible to one’s ears, suddenly sounded!


    The instant the dragon roar sounded, the nine fire dragons within the silver-colored mes immediately rushed over. They violently collided with the fire human figure. One of their enormous mouths tore open and swallowed ayer of red-colored me around the fire-human figure.


    “Groan!”


    Hua Chen’s Spiritual Strength was annihted under the frightening temperature of the Nine Dragon Lightning me the moment the deep-red me disappeared. His body trembled as his feet took a couple of steps back. His expression was slightly pale.


    “It is indeed worthy of being a ‘Heavenly me.’ The old me admits defeat...”


    Hua Chen bitterly smiled and shook his head after stabilizing his body. He let out a sigh and returned to his seat with a bitter expression. The beast me, which he was proud of, did not even possess the slightest ability to resist this Nine Dragon Lightning me.


    Some of the alchemist grandmasters present involuntarily changed their expressions when they saw that Hua Chen was unable to even endure even a minute. Was this Nine Dragon Lightning me so powerful?


    There were a couple of other alchemist who did not buy the thought and gave it an attempt after Hua Chen. However, all of them were unable to endure the tearing and biting of the nine fire dragons. Not one of them could endure through the ten minutes. The old fellow called Grandmaster Mo, who had ridiculed Xiao Yan earlier, was among them.


    Tang Zhen might not reveal any emotion on his face, but his heart sighed with some disappointment when he saw the alchemists failing one after another. It seemed that he could only test if the two External Elders from the Pill Tower could reach the target he required.


    Another alchemist grandmaster failed once again. At this moment, the only ones in therge hall who had yet to make an attempt were the two External Elders from the Pill Tower and Xiao Yan. Of course, Xiao Yan was naturally ignored by the others. Almost everyone’s gazes were thrown to these two External Elders. After all, only these two people were genuine tier 7 alchemists within thisrge hall.


    “Nine Dragon Lightning me, dragon’s might shakes one’s soul... this test is really not an easy one.”


    The External Elder of the Pill Tower called Grandmaster Huan was the first to let out a soft sigh. He exchanged looks with hispanion before slowly standing up. A white-colored me rose from his palm. This me was somewhat unusual because the me was emitting a chilly air when it rose.


    “Sky Cold me? This me of Grandmaster Huan should have been obtained from the Sky Bone Python’s body, right? It is rumored that this Sky Bone Python will only appear in the regions where the Bone Chilling me appears. This beast me within its body is simr to the Bone Chilling me.” Even Tang Zhen was startled when he saw this white-colored me that was emitting cold air.


    Xiao Yan raised his brows when he heard this. He was somewhat surprised as he studied the Sky Cold me in Grandmaster Huan’s hand. It was unexpected that this thing was sort of rted to teacher’s Bone Chilling me.


    “Ugh, the Bone Chilling me. I did not possess that kind of blessing and only managed to luckily meet the Sky Bone Python.” Grandmaster Huan bitterlyughed. After which, his Spiritual Strength spread out from between his brows and merged into the me. Immediately, the me wiggled, transforming into a white-colored python that entered the silver-colored me in a sh.


    This python, covered in a white me, had just entered the silver me when the nine fire dragons within it suddenly pounced over. This time around, however, the white-colored python did possess some ability. It was able to firmly protect the me on its surface, preventing it from being swallowed by the fire dragons.


    After which, the python within the me and the fire dragons were at a stalemate. The expression of grandmaster Huan became more and more solemn. The Sky Cold me might be somewhat rted to the Bone Chilling me, but it was ultimately not a Heavenly me. It was impossible for it to truly fight the Nine Dragon Lightning me.


    Time swiftly flowed by in the quiet,rge hall. Just when the white-colored fire python was about to bepletely swallowed by the nine fire dragons, the ten minute mark had finally arrived. Grandmaster Huan hurriedly beckoned with his hand and the fire python fled. After which, it rushed back into his body.


    “It is indeed worthy of being a Heavenly me ranked twelfth on the Heavenly me Ranking. I must admit its greatness...” Grandmaster Huan finally sighed in relief as bitterlyughed after pulling back the fire python.


    “Congrattions Grandmaster Huan, you have seeded.” Tang Zhen smiled and said. After which, his eyes slid to the other External Elder from the Pill Tower. “Grandmaster Xiao*, it is your turn.”


    TL: This Xiao* is not Xiao Yan’s Xiao


    The me belonging to this Grandmaster Xiao* was not as powerful as that of hispanion. From the way Xiao Yan saw it, it could only be considered an upper-middle level beast me. It was likely that he would not be able to endure for ten minutes by using this kind of beast me to contend with the Nine Dragon Lightning me...


    It was just as Xiao Yan had expected. When the seven minute mark past, the blue-colored me was unable to endure any longer, and it was torn into pieces by the nine fire dragons that pounced forward together.


    Grandmaster Xiao could only sigh when he saw this. He shook his head at Tang Zhen before returning to his seat. This kind of test not only tested one’s Spiritual Strength, but also tested whose me was stronger...


    Disappointment shed across Tang Zhen’s eyes when he saw that Grandmaster Xiao* did not endure until the end. He sighed, “I have troubled everyone. Currently, only Grandmaster Huan alone has passed the test. However, the old me needs two people...”


    “Isn’t there still an alchemist ‘grandmaster’?”
