Chapter 258: The Tour Reward

  Yan Hao, enveloped ihy Dou Qi, swung his hammer again, ung a yellow earthy energy towards Han Yue.

  Han Yue quickly tered with a bst of white energy.

  A loud explosion sounded as the two energies collided in mid-air. At that moment, Yan Hao, stomping heavily on the floor, quickly closed in on Han Yue. He swung his hammer with such force that, had it hit Han Yue's small frame, she likely would have been smashed into a pulp.

  In this straightforward test of strength, Haurally wouldn't meet him head-on. The moment the huge bck hammer was swung, she swiftly retreated five steps.

  Simultaneously, she flicked a firand of white cold energy towards Yan Haht arm, leaving a grey-white mark on his skin.

  The cold energy quickly peed Yan Hao's muscles, causing his movements to bee slightly sluggish.

  After several more exges, Yan Hao's movements became increasingly slower, aually, the grey-white color on his body began to fade.

  "I give up! You win!"

  Yan Hao, whose Dou Qi was heavily depleted by his defeance, could not sustain the fight and ceded early.

  "The biggest dark horse of this strength petition turned out to be Han Yue."

  "After this fight, Yan Hao is probably going to be in pain for a while."

  "It's said that Lin Xiuya barely fought och before he had to go back to recuperate and hasn't e out since!"

  Everyone uood the reason behind Han Yue's victory; if those with real strength hadn't been injured by Zi Yan, it would have been impossible for Hao achieve such a ranking.

  However, sihings had turned out this way, not many dwelled on it, reizing that sometimes luck is also a form of strength.

  "The results are out, and the sed p this strength petitioo Han Yue!"

  Soon, an elder began to annouhe results.

  At this moment, the energy of heaven ah above the inner courtyard suddenly fluctuated violently, and a rich st of pills emanated from somewhere within the courtyard.

  Uedly, dark clouds formed in the sky, with thunder rolling and lightning snakes darting about, creating a terrifying spectacle.

  "Pill Tribution, this is in the dire of... Elder Gu He!" Su Qian murmured as he quickly fshed towards the source of the disturbance.

  Other elders iands, no longer focused on announg the rewards for the top ten of the strength leaderboard, quickly flew from their seats.

  "What's happening with the dark clouds above the academy!"

  "This seems to be the legendary Pill Tribution. Could it be that there is a seventh-grade alchemist in aan Academy?"

  "Ts, ts, a seventh-grade alchemist is extremely rare even in the tral Pins!"

  Witnessing this suddeial phenomenon, a stir arose among the students in the inner courtyard, with many curiously moving closer to the ter of the verging clouds.

  ...

  Thick clouds gathered above the inner courtyard, darkening the sky. Only the fshes of silver lightning illumihe darkness momentarily.

  Soon, Su Qian and the other elders flying high above arrived at the courtyard and saw Gu He and the pill cauldron in front of him.

  "Gu He is cog pills!"

  "What kind of pill is he making that it could attract Pill Tribution!"

  "Pill Tribution, isn't that something only a Dou Aor powerhouse withstand? With Elder Gu He's cultivation level, isn't this a bit dangerous?"

  As the elders in the inner courtyard discussed, the st of the pill from Gu He's courtyard reached a peak, even drawing the surrounding heaven ah energy to tremble slightly due to the pill's fragrance.

  Ihe pill cauldron, the scorg Dan fire bzed fiercely. Above the fmes, a fully formed pill inniing an astonishing amount of energy. This energy tinuously spread out, striking the inner walls of the cauldron and produg a metalliging sound.

  sidering that Gu He's cultivation was insuffit to withstand the Dan Thunder, Su Qian pondered for a moment before firmly addressing Gu He, "Elder Gu He, please focus on your pill co, a me hahe Dan Thunder for you."

  "Thank you, Great Elder!" Gu He, not wanting to reveal his strength, gdly accepted Su Qian's offer.

  Seeing Gu He agree, Su Qian's figure rapidly asded towards the cauldron. However, before he could reach it, two gray figures arrived beh the dark clouds first.

  "Step aside, Su Qian. This Dan Thunder isn't something you handle."

  The voices of Elder Qian and Elder Bai echoed from above.

  Relieved to see Elders Qian and Bai, Su Qian finally exhaled in relief.

  "Boom!"

  After Elders Qian and Bai appeared, a thunderous explosion suddenly sounded in the sky. A thick silver lightning bolt, resembling a giant silver serpent, tore through the clouds and streaked tu He's cauldron below.

  The appearance of this silver lightni a tremor through the hearts of the many elders in the inner courtyard.

  Zi Yan, standing in Gu He's courtyard, was directly frightened by this formidable ford screamed.

  As the silver lightning bolt was unched, Elders Qian and Bai calmly gathered a huge mass of Dou Qi, about teers in size, and hurled it towards the ining lightning.

  "Bang!"

  The massive Dou Qi cshed with the silver lightning in the sky, causing Elders Qian and Bai to slightly retreat from the impact.

  After the first bolt of lightning was intercepted by Elders Qian and Bai, the clouds in the sky ed violently once more. Moments ter, three more bolts of lightning, even thicker than the first, roared as they burst forth from the clouds.

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  Fag the three silver bolts, Elders Qian and Bai's expressions finally turned solemn. They tinuously shifted their positions, releasing terrifying bsts of Dou Qi from their hands, intercepting all three bolts in the sky.

  The explosive force of the bsts swept down to the ground, prompting some elders tently instruct students to keep their distance.

  ...

  The sky was covered in dense clouds, with silver lightning snaking through, striking down in a b assault. The entire world seemed to tremble at this moment.

  The dark inner courtyard was lit up like daytime by the tinuous streaks of silver lightning, with the thunderous roars eg incessantly throughout.

  As the silver lightning poured down, two gray figures hovered in the sky like deities, destroying all the terrifying bolts.

  "Old Bai, it's good that we didn't rush into seclusion this time. Otherwise, these youngsters might have suffered greatly uhis heavenly tribution." After destroying another bolt of lightning, Elder Qian remarked.

  "Mm!"

  Elder Bai nodded in agreement, then with a look of joy, excimed, "Haha, who would have thought that a seventh-grade alchemist would emerge from our inner courtyard? Truly a blessing for our academy."
