Chi Yuan stared intently at the dark red alchemy furnace covered in star patterns, and nodded to himself. It was indeed a fourth-grade alchemy furnace. If he could obtain it, his chances of refining the Creation Pill in the future would be greatly increased.
At that moment, Chi Yuan put the Purple Essence Dao Spirit Pill back into the jade bottle, casually cast a spirit-sealing restriction to seal the bottle opening, and then slowly stood up and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll take a gamble with you."
His spiritual realm had already surpassed the Spirit King realm, so the Purple Essence Dao Spirit Pill was of no use to him. He had refined it in the past two days with the intention of selling it to purchase a Grade 4 alchemy furnace in preparation for refining the Creation Pill in the future.
Now that he has the opportunity to obtain a fourth-grade alchemy furnace for free, he doesn't mind using the Purple Essence Dao Spirit Pill as a prize.
"Young Master Fufeng, wouldn't using that fire...?"
Rong Xinya spoke with some concern, as the power of the spiritual fire was too great, and she was really afraid that Chi Yuan would play with it to his death.
However, if he didn't use spiritual fire, Chi Yuan probably wouldn't stand a chance. After all, alchemists spend a lot of time refining pills, and their combat power is often lower than that of spiritual cultivators of the same realm who specialize in cultivation. Chi Yuan is also two levels lower than Kui Meng in cultivation, and the difference in combat power can even reach three levels. With such a big gap, she didn't know how Chi Yuan could win.
"If he uses his fists, I will naturally use my fists too. There's no need to worry."
Chi Yuan said it casually.
The spiritual power refined by the Burning Heaven Refining Void Technique, in terms of both quality and quantity, reached a level several ranks higher than his actual cultivation level. Coupled with the huge amplification of power by the Dragon Elephant Suppressing Demon Force, his fist power alone was enough to rival the level of a sixth or seventh-rank Spirit King. How could he be afraid of losing to Kui Meng, a third-rank Spirit King?
Chi Yuan's words only made Rong Xinya more worried. Kui Meng mainly cultivated the body-refining path, and strength was his greatest advantage. Chi Yuan was going to use his weakness against his strength. Wasn't he just asking for trouble?
Wenren Bingying also looked at Chi Yuan with great concern. Her confidence in Chi Yuan came more from his alchemy skills and spiritual fire, but she lacked confidence in his combat strength. In a fistfight, she found it hard to believe that Chi Yuan could defeat Kui Meng, a third-level Spirit King who mainly cultivated his body.
"Haha, you dare to fight me with your fists? I respect you as a real man."
Kui Meng laughed loudly. He not only cultivated the body refining path but also the fist path. All his strength was in his fists. Chi Yuan dared to fight him with his fists. He couldn't imagine how he could lose.
"bring it on!"
Kui Meng shifted a few feet to the side, standing a little closer to the center, and then started cracking and stretching his muscles.
"Please wait, gentlemen."
At this moment, Rong Hanyou gracefully appeared between the two, gently waving her feather fan and smiling, "Since it's a contest, we need a witness. Why don't you two temporarily hand over your bets to me? Whoever wins, I'll give them to him. This way, we can avoid one of you reneging on the bet. What do you say?"
"Can."
Chi Yuan simply handed the jade bottle to You Rong Hanyou.
"That suits me perfectly."
Kui Meng generously handed over the Nine-Star Dragon-Locking Furnace to You Rong Hanyou.
You Rong Hanyou temporarily put the two gambling items into her Qiankun bag, then retreated to the seating area and said with a soft, charming voice, "Then the two of you shall begin. I wish you both a successful start."
Kui Meng grinned, his right foot slid backward along the ground, assuming a tiger crouching on the ground stance. At the same time, his body emanated an incomparably sharp golden spiritual power, and his aura instantly soared to its peak.
"Take this!"
Kui Meng let out a deep growl, then pounced like a tiger, his body leaving a golden afterimage as he reached Chi Yuan almost instantly. Then, without any fancy moves, he threw a punch straight at Chi Yuan.
Fierce Tiger Breaking the Wilderness Fist!
The powerful, explosive force of the punch poured out instantly, forming a roaring golden tiger phantom on its surface, creating a deafening sonic boom, and crashing towards Chi Yuan with unstoppable momentum.
The first move of the Dragon Elephant Demon-Suppressing Force – Celestial Elephant Force!
The instant Kui Meng's fist struck, the immense spiritual power that Chi Yuan had been accumulating within him surged forth. At the same time, layers of golden energy, like stacked armor, instantly formed hundreds of layers within Chi Yuan's body, each layer containing formidable defensive and offensive power.
Chi Yuan slashed his right foot backward, his body instantly becoming like a bowstring stretched to its limit, and his fist lashed out like an arrow released from a bow.
boom!
A deafening crash, like a mountain collapsing, resounded throughout the arena. The instant their fists met, hundreds of layers of golden energy within Chi Yuan's body erupted onto his fists. Layer upon layer of energy overlapped, frantically accumulating power, instantly forming a terrifying, overwhelming fist force.
The golden light on Kui Meng's fist shattered inch by inch. Before it could even blink, it was shattered by the power of the fist enhanced by the Celestial Phenomenon Force. The fist continued its momentum, carrying the power to shatter mountains and crush peaks, and struck Kui Meng's chest.
"Heh..."
Kui Meng let out a painful groan and was instantly shot backward until he crashed into the stone wall behind him with a bang before falling to the ground with a thud.
Seeing Kui Meng struggling to his feet with trembling body, and then looking at Chi Yuan who stood motionless and unmoved, the entire audience fell silent.
Immediately afterwards, the scene erupted into a cacophony of discussion.
"Can you believe your eyes? Kui Meng is a body cultivator who specializes in fist techniques, yet he was sent flying by this person's single punch with overwhelming force?!"
"What terrifying punching power! That punch just now must have had the power of at least a fifth-level Spirit King, right?"
"More than that! A fifth-tier attack couldn't possibly produce such an effect. Kui Meng's move was at least a fourth-tier attack; how could it be so easily defeated by a fifth-tier attack? It's probably a sixth-tier attack!"
"Hiss... He's only a first-tier Spirit King, yet he possesses the combat strength of a sixth-tier being? What kind of monster is this?!"
...
"Young Master Fufeng... his combat strength is formidable!"
Rong Xinya and Wenren Bingying covered their mouths and stared at Chi Yuan in disbelief. They only knew that Chi Yuan was very skilled in alchemy, but they did not expect that his combat power was also so terrifying.
He was able to crush Kui Meng, a third-level Spirit King, head-on with his first-level Spirit King cultivation, and he even used the opponent's most proficient fist attack!
Young Master Fu Feng is truly amazing!
"This guy is actually that strong?"
You Rong Hanyou and You Rong Lianxin's beautiful eyes flashed with a strange light. The fact that they could unleash such combat power with the cultivation of a first-level Spirit King clearly showed that they had cultivated high-level techniques and spiritual skills. This undoubtedly proved that Chi Yuan's spirituality and comprehension were extremely high, and he could definitely be considered a top genius.
No wonder the younger sister took a liking to him.
A hint of satisfaction appeared in the eyes of the two sisters. Based on the combat strength that Chi Yuan had shown, he was more than qualified to be their younger sister.
but……
Thinking of Rong Xinya's attentive attitude towards Chi Yuan, they were still somewhat dissatisfied. Even if Chi Yuan was incredibly talented, there was no need for Rong Xinya to be so attentive.
A mere top genius from a small country like Daqian is not worthy of having women from the Rong family throwing themselves at him?
It seems my younger sister really wants to get married.
The two sisters chuckled to themselves. Admittedly, they admired Chi Yuan to some extent, but they would never be as attentive and devoted as Rong Xinya.
Chi Yuan is not worth it at all.
