Chapter 258: The Tournament Reward

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

Han Yue quickly countered with a blast of white energy.Rread latest chapters at novelhall.com

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 contest of strength, Han Yue naturally wouldn't meet him head-on. The moment the huge black hammer was swung, she swiftly retreated five steps.

Simultaneously, she flicked a finer strand of white cold energy towards Yan Hao's right arm, leaving a grey-white mark on his skin.

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

After several more exchanges, Yan Hao's movements became increasingly slower, and eventually, 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 defensive stance, could not sustain the fight and conceded early.

"The biggest dark horse of this strength competition 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 one match before he had to go back to recuperate and hasn't come out since!"

Everyone understood 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 Han Yue to achieve such a ranking.

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

"The results are out, and the second place in this strength competition goes to Han Yue!"

Soon, an elder began to announce the results.

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

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

"Pill Tribulation, this is in the direction of... Elder Gu He!" Su Qian murmured as he quickly flashed towards the source of the disturbance.

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

As the silver lightning bolt was launched, Elders Qian and Bai calmly gathered a huge mass of Dou Qi, about ten meters in size, and hurled it towards the incoming lightning.

"Bang!"

The massive Dou Qi clashed 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 churned violently once more. Moments later, three more bolts of lightning, even thicker than the first, roared as they burst forth from the clouds.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

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

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

...

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

The dark inner courtyard was lit up like daytime by the continuous streaks of silver lightning, with the thunderous roars echoing 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 under this heavenly tribulation." After destroying another bolt of lightning, Elder Qian remarked.

"Mm!"

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