Chapter 183 Ch 183: Eric: Alex's Distant Cousin 4

_Alchemist Association_

"I can't believe it, he was actually able to refine a perfect Five Elements Profound Pill."

"Many of us failed and many of us passed. He is so young but still not only passed the test but also became the champion. He is going to get the Holy Water from Azure Origin Lake now."

"I really envy him. I didn't expect him to be the champion!"

"His alchemy knowledge is too profound. We are no match for him."

"Yes, we shouldn't compare ourselves with him. He is a genius and the world of geniuses is completely different from ours."

Inside a big hall of the Alchemist Association, more than 200 people were gathered. It has been more than five hours from the time they had started refining the Tier 7 Pill called Five Elements Profound Pill. During this period of time, many people failed but even so, more than 100 people passed the test.

And among these more than 100 people, Alex's pill was the most perfect, thus he became qualified to receive the reward that is a bottle of Holy Water from the Azure Origin Lake.

Well, Alex had no interest in this reward though. He just wanted to take his identity token that'll represent his status as a Heaven Rank Alchemy Master, leave the Alchemist Association, and return back to the sect before refining Earth Spirit Pills. After that, his strength will increase by leaps and bounds in a very short period of time. No one could match the speed of his growth.

"Congratulations on becoming the champion. Here is the promised reward as well as the identity token that can represent your identity of a Heaven Rank Alchemy Master."

At this time, Viresh arrived in front of Alex and gave him a palm-sized jade bottle as well as a silver medallion. One side of the medallion had a cauldron pattern imprinted on it with two words "Alchemist Association" written on the top and bottom each.

On the other side of the medallion, two words "Heaven Rank" were carved deeply which was Alex's current identity in the world of pills and medicine.

"Thank you!" Alex smiled and thanked Viresh before taking the two things and storing them inside his spatial ring. Then just as he was about to turn back and leave, he was stopped by Viresh who said.

"There is something I would like to talk about. Can you come with me!"

Thinking for a few seconds, Alex nodded his head and left the main hall while following behind Viresh.

.....

_Moon City_

"Are you people from the Green Spirit Sect?" Eric's face revealed a strange expression when he heard the young man's threat.

Originally, Eric was already too lazy to bother with Green Spirit Sect, as long as Green Spirit Sect did not take the initiative to provoke him, it would be fine.

"Lady Ji Rou is the granddaughter of the Great Elder of my Green Spirit Sect and is also the beloved daughter of the Moon City Lord. I order you to release her now, otherwise, even if you are a Peak Heavenly Completion Stage martial warrior, you will have to pay the price for what happened today!" The young man continued to speak, planning to bring out the Green Spirit Sect to pressure him.

If it was anyone else, perhaps after hearing the three words "Green Spirit Sect", they would have immediately chosen to let go of Ji Rou, then turned around and fled.

But Eric was not afraid at all. Forget about the fact that he already has a grudge against the Green Spirit Sect, even if he didn't know the Green Spirit Sect before, he wouldn't be afraid. It is because he was not born to be afraid of others, he was born to leave his name behind in this world.

Well, this was his biggest goal.

If he encountered someone stronger and got afraid of them, how would he be able to grow up into a powerful man?

He did not put a mere Green Spirit Sect in his eyes.

Therefore, towards the young man's words, Eric did not even bother to listen and directly threw the crippled Ji Rou out.

Seeing Eric's actions, many people's hearts were overjoyed. The two youths even quickly took a step forward to catch Ji Rou.

After a moment of inspection, the two people's expressions became gloomy again. Their eyes filled with killing intent as they looked at Eric and said: "Are you coming with us by yourself or should we bring you away?"

"Where to?" Eric asked.

When the others heard this, they were stunned and a strange expression immediately appeared on their faces.

Didn't you listen to us just now and return Ji Rou?

Then where can we go now?

The two young men thought that Eric was just playing dumb and immediately said bluntly: "Of course, you have to come with me to meet the City Lord. You have crippled his daughter and killed so many people after all."

"Catch him! I want him dead! " At this time, Ji Rou's voice sounded once again, and the gaze he looked at Eric with was filled with rage.

The cultivation that she had painstakingly cultivated with much difficulty disappeared in the blink of an eye.

In the future, she wouldn't even have the ability to bully others anymore.

One had to know that this is a world where martial arts reigned supreme. If she is merely a piece of trash with no cultivation, how would she dare to humiliate others?

It could be imagined just how strong her hatred toward Eric was!

"Humph!"

A cold snort suddenly came out of Eric's mouth, and the guards who had surrounded him once again paled in an instant. They could not even stand properly, and directly fell to the ground.

As for Eric, he strode towards the two youths.

The two of their expressions instantly changed. Until now, how could they still not guess that when Eric released Ji Rou, he was not afraid because he heard their threat? It was completely because Eric didn't even bother to use these hostages to threaten them.

It could even be that Eric capturing Ji Rou earlier was all because of her being too noisy and arrogant.

Thinking about this, everyone's heart sank.

Eric was a Peak Heavenly Completion Stage martial warrior. An existence of his level is not something that they and their soldiers could go against.

But now, could they retreat?

No!

Since the Ji Rou's cultivation had been crippled, all of them had no way to escape. Only by capturing Eric could they give an explanation to Mon City's City Lord. But if they could not catch Eric, it is obvious that they'll have to endure the wrath of Ji Rou's father and grandfather.

"Charge!" The expressions of the two youths changed slightly, but they still berated him.

Dozens of newly appeared guards rushed at Eric from all directions. Those who were originally spectating the battle from afar quickly retreated backward again in fear, afraid that they would be affected by the battle.

These guards were all the same as the previous group of guards whom he has already dealt with, Eric was too lazy to waste time on them. He simply punched four to five times, sending all of them flying.

In the beginning, it was fine, but with the increasing number of people, Eric was also enraged and for the first time, he used a martial arts skill called Cloud Burst Finger.

How sharp was Eric's Cloud Burst Finger?

There was no way for these people to avoid Eric's Cloud Burst Finger. Once it was pointed out, it would pierce through their bodies.

Following Eric's rage, the spectators did not dare to stay any longer and immediately turned and fled. Even the two young men immediately supported Ji Rou and ran into the city.

As for the old man who was sent flying by Eric's fist, he looked at Eric as if he was staring at a tiger from the side. Even though he was heavily injured, he was still unwilling to retreat.

In the blink of an eye, twenty to thirty people had fallen to the ground while the rest of the guards who were blocking in front of Eric only dared to surround them from afar.

After looking at them, Eric no longer had any intentions to continue hunting them. He turned and walked into the city.

"Hmph, could it be that you want to walk in after killing so many people just like that? Do you really think that there is no one in Moon City?"

At this time, a cold snort suddenly came from the distance. Soon after, an extremely powerful aura appeared from within the city and quickly charged over.

"Pretending to be mysterious!"

Eric curled his lips in disdain and kept walking without even looking at the person who appeared just now and threw out a palm strike towards an empty spot behind him.

Right at the moment when Eric's palm struck out, a black figure suddenly leaped out from behind the city gate.
