Chapter 229: Chapter 229: All Things Essence Enhancing Pill
Puff~
Qin Tian emerged from the water without alerting anyone.
Looking at the three people intensely fighting near the willow tree, Qin Tian’s lips curled into a slight smile as he quietly departed.
Walking down the street, Qin Tian released his Qi and Blood fluctuation, drying his drenched clothes.
Having used the ability of Invisibility in front of the public, he no longer hid it, maintaining his invisible state regularly to avoid being captured by any cameras.
The ability to be invisible sounds impressive, but in the eyes of experts, it’s not much of a threat.
Because many things might deceive the eyes but not Spiritual Perception.
Experts have a powerful Spiritual Sense, and when foreign objects approach, they anticipate and lock in their location with Spiritual Power.
He managed to steal successfully under the noses of the three great geniuses, thanks to more than just Invisibility. The concealment of aura by Night Demon King and the Top Hunter was also essential.
Therefore, he wasn’t worried about severe consequences from being exposed while invisible.
Bloodline abilities are bizarre and varied.
Invisibility, indeed, was nothing rare.
As inspiration spread, his sense of smell, hearing, and heat detection quickly locked onto targets, helping Qin Tian map out a biological hotspot chart.
Compared to just now, the number of contestants had noticeably decreased.
The city’s broadcast constantly announced participant eliminations at intervals.
"The competition sure is intense~"
Qin Tian couldn’t help but marvel that in just over half an hour, nearly twenty of the hundred top geniuses were eliminated, reducing participants by almost one-fifth.
Most eliminated were weak, likely One Star and Two Star geniuses, but some were genuinely unfortunate, encountering Five Star geniuses or A-level and B-level examiners, leading to their regretful exit.
"I need to speed things up."
Qin Tian looked to the side. Both examiners and participants could immediately use protective artifacts upon acquisition, just like himself, integrating Spirit Forged Soft Gold into the Black Frost Blade.
Spiritual Artifacts and Secret Manuals are preferable as they aren’t consumable; acquisition timing doesn’t matter much.
But Elixirs were different.
Each one taken by others decreased the total.
By later days, even if he eliminated someone, he’d only get an empty bottle.
Not far from him, intense battle waves resonated.
Like a shark sensing blood, Qin Tian quietly approached.
......
Clang clang clang~~
The sound of metal clashing continued.
A man wielding a Fine Sword was fiercely battling an examiner donning a Brown Bear mask.
The man’s eyes were narrow, skin pale, exuding a sinister aura, like a viper lurking in dark corners. His swordsmanship matched his appearance, insidious and deadly, each move targeting vital points.
The Brown Bear Examiner’s Weapon was a pair of Iron Armor Gloves with a blazing red Spiritual Energy coating, resembling Meteor Fire Fists, striking down towards the man viciously.
"Your movements are too slow."
Shan Xiao smirked disdainfully. As a Four Star Genius, his targets were always B-level and A-level examiners. This C-level ’small fry’ examiner posed no threat to him, not even requiring his bloodline ability.
With a light tap of his toe on the ground, Shan Xiao closed in like a phantom, his sword wrapped in eerie blue Spiritual Energy tracing an uncanny arc.
"Spirit Snake Stab!"
With a low shout, the Fine Sword shot forward like a snake striking, heading straight for the throat of the Brown Bear Examiner.
The Brown Bear Examiner quickly retreated, the red Spiritual Energy on the gloves surged, swinging a scorching fist shadow to force back Shan Xiao.
Yet Shan Xiao didn’t dodge, the sword tip pierced the shadow’s weak spot precisely, moving forward with the impact, carving a bloody line on the Brown Bear Examiner’s left arm.
The Brown Bear Examiner grunted, punching the ground, the surface explosively shattering. Red Spiritual Energy transformed into a flame giant bear leaping skywards towards Shan Xiao.
"Bear Roar Shaking Heaven!"
The Brown Bear Examiner roared.
Disdain flickered in Shan Xiao’s eyes, his body whirled, his sword danced into a swirl of blue light.
Spirit Snake Dance!
Numerous sword shadows sliced through, shredding the flame giant bear instantly.
Seizing the opportunity, Shan Xiao advanced, the Fine Sword darting like lightning, piercing three blood holes into the Brown Bear Examiner’s chest and abdomen.
Stumbling backward, the Brown Bear Examiner spewed blood but persisted, mustering the last strand of Spiritual Energy, the fire on his gloves suddenly turning ghostly black.
"Nether Bear’s Fall!"
Accompanied by a hoarse roar, the aura around the Brown Bear Examiner surged, black flames carrying a destructive aura surged forward, cracking the ground as they passed.
Shan Xiao’s pupils contracted slightly; this desperate strike was not to be underestimated.
He swiftly infused Spiritual Energy throughout his body, and the sword blade glowed with a bright blue light, forming a shield of Spirit Snake phantoms in front of him.
The black flames collided fiercely with the Spirit Snake Shield, erupting in a deafening boom, and the intense shockwave scattered the surrounding dust into the air.
Shan Xiao gritted his teeth and endured, not expecting that this final struggle of the C-level examiner would indeed bring him considerable pressure.
The Spirit Snake phantoms disintegrated continuously within the flames, and the impact numbed his tiger’s mouth, yet his gaze remained cold as ice.
After a brief stalemate, Shan Xiao suddenly stomped down, using the force to leap into the air, his fine sword pointing directly at the Brown Bear Examiner below.
"Spirit Snake Breaking Sky!"
He compressed all his Spiritual Energy at the sword’s tip, forming a sharp energy cone.
The Brown Bear Examiner tried to evade, but due to previous injuries, his movements were sluggish, and he could only barely lift his arm to block. The energy cone pierced fiercely through his arm, and with its remaining force, tore open a deep wound on his shoulder, exposing the bone.
The Brown Bear Examiner grunted, collapsing to the ground, unable to resist any further.
Shan Xiao stood with his sword sheathed, a mocking smile curving at his lips, his eyes filled with disdain for his opponent.
"A weak C-level examiner like you should stay as far away as possible when you see me, instead of overestimating yourself by challenging me."
Shan Xiao looked at the glowing green healing light on the Brown Bear and spoke with disdain.
Hearing this, the Brown Bear clenched his fists in anger, wishing to go all out against Shan Xiao, even if it would cost him his life.
At this moment, Shan Xiao’s livestream exploded with comments, though they were highly polarized.
"Wow, Shan Xiao is so handsome and domineering."
"A four-star genius should have this kind of confidence and pride."
"So disrespectful, geniuses should also have the bearing of geniuses."
"Exactly, what a petty man!"
Shan Xiao was still unaware of the huge controversy his actions stirred. He glanced at the tightly clenched fists of the Brown Bear and sneered:
"Why are you still so defiant? If we go again, you’ll only lose more miserably. Hand over the guardian artifact; treasures are meant for geniuses, and you are merely temporary keepers."
Hearing this, the Brown Bear was so furious he almost ground his teeth to dust.
But in the end, he restrained that irrational impulse, taking out a jade bottle from his bosom and tossing it to Shan Xiao.
Shan Xiao caught the jade bottle, and his Spiritual Power touched the patterns on the bottle.
Immediately, a Divine Thought carrying information entered his mind.
"All Things Essence Enhancing Pill, a total of nine pills, boosts Spiritual Energy, not bad, not bad; with this bottle of elixir, I can breakthrough to Tier Five Four Stars."
A slight curve appeared at the corner of Shan Xiao’s mouth, and just then, he suddenly noticed a look of surprise in the eyes of the Brown Bear Examiner across from him.
The Brown Bear’s eyes weren’t looking at him but rather at something behind him.
Bzzzz~~
Suddenly, a faint sound of electric current erupted behind him, like a venomous snake flicking its tongue, sending chills down the spine.
Shan Xiao’s pupils contracted sharply, and his hair stood on end. Almost instinctively, he activated his Spiritual Energy, and a ghostly blue protective shield instantly enveloped his entire body. At the moment he turned around—
A blinding purple light filled his entire vision!
The violent Thunder Serpent tore through the air, emitting a teeth-jarring crackling sound, crashing into his chest with destructive force.
His protective Spiritual Energy was pierced through as easily as paper; amidst the dazzling electric light, he could clearly see his own flesh being charred black and carbonized under the high temperature.
"Boom——!"
The tremendous impact sent him flying. Before he even landed, multiple cold blade lights pursued him like a relentless curse. The sound of blades tearing through the Spirit Shield was as crisp and deadly as ripping silk.
"Slit——"
The sound of clothing being torn repeatedly echoed. Cold blades sliced through skin and flesh, exposing ghastly white bones.
Immediately, the residual electrical energy exploded at the wounds, sizzling as it scorched the torn flesh. Blood erupted like a fountain from more than ten wounds, tracing a tragic arc in the air.
When Shan Xiao heavily hit the ground, he was already a bloodied figure.
Dense blood pooled beneath him, with each weak breath expelling more bloody froth.
His vision began to blur, yet he could still see those black combat boots advancing step by step, along with that Black Crow mask.
"Four-star genius, doesn’t seem so impressive~"
The indifferent voice at his ear ignited his rage, and unable to hold back, he spat a mouthful of blood, his vision going dark as he fell into unconsciousness.
