Chapter 199, Prince 4
Feng Jiutian didn't say much. After placing Jiuyao in the Void Spirit Space, she didn't return to the place arranged for them by the Four Kingdoms Grand Competition. Instead, she found a secluded cave.
The Profound Spirit Pill is a high-grade elixir, and its refining requires an absolutely quiet environment. This mountain is surrounded by miasma, making it an exceptionally good place for alchemy!
Feng Jiutian stared intently at Xuanji Zi: "Let's begin!"
Xuanji Zi chuckled. He knew that everyone's cultivation had improved except for Feng Jiutian's in the training ground.
Although Feng Jiutian didn't say it, he was definitely uncomfortable inside. He also wanted to see what kind of miracle the Xuanling Pill could bring to him this time!
The materials for refining the Xuanling Pill, apart from Xuanzhi and honey, were all very common and had long been stored in the Void Space. Xuanji Zi quickly began refining it, and Feng Jiutian was not idle either. She watched carefully as Xuanji Zi refined the high-level pill.
From the start to the completion of the pill, it took Xuanji Zi more than ten hours to finish. Looking at Xuanji Zi's tired face, Feng Jiutian clicked his tongue in amazement. Refining high-level pills was indeed a laborious and time-consuming process.
Xuanjizi looked quite satisfied as she handed the pills to Feng Jiutian.
This Xuanling Pill is considered a top-grade pill among high-level pills, and it is quite difficult to refine, especially since he is currently only in the state of a soul. Fortunately, he finally succeeded in completing it.
Feng Jiutian told Xuanjizi to rest first, and then quickly returned to the competition venue.
She had been away for too long, and the competition was about to begin. The people from the Royal Academy couldn't find Feng Jiutian and were almost worried that something had happened to her. They were frantic with worry.
Feng Jiutian apologized and hurriedly went with everyone to the arena.
From afar, Feng Jiutian spotted a unique figure.
The man, dressed in white, stood in the crowd. He stood there casually, yet all the light seemed to converge on him, making everything around him seem like mere background.
How come there are new faces?
Feng Jiutian frowned, not because of the man's uniqueness, but because she noticed that he was standing on the competition stage rather than in the audience.
The man walked straight toward Feng Jiutian: "We meet again."
Feng Jiutian was stunned for a moment before he realized that this person was the same mage who had tried to kill her in Liucheng and fought with her. Why would he come to the Four Kingdoms Tournament?
Seemingly sensing Feng Jiutian's confusion, the man's lips curled into a cryptic smile: "Last time we parted in haste, and I didn't have a chance to introduce myself. My name is Shangguan Yi, and I'm a student at Luojia Academy."
"Shangguan Yi? You're Shangguan Yi!"
Feng Jiutian had also heard of the famous fourteenth prince of Beiqi Kingdom.
I heard that this person is exceptionally talented and powerful, but he is unruly and disdainful of fame and fortune. He does whatever he wants and acts recklessly. Although he is a student of Luojia Academy, he has never attended any classes at the academy.
Why would someone like that participate in the Four Nations Tournament?
A woman from Luojia Academy walked over, her gaze towards Shangguan Yi filled with undisguised admiration. She said, "The Mu family members were injured, and Mu Yuan sent them back. Luojia Academy has temporarily replaced Mu Yuan with the Fourteenth Prince to represent the academy in the competition."
And this kind of operation?
How can you make a last-minute substitution when the game has already been over for four or five days?
Many people shared the same doubts as Feng Jiutian, but the organizing committee of the competition remained silent, clearly indicating that they had tacitly accepted the matter.
Feng Jiutian pursed his lips and said nothing more.
She'll deal with whatever comes her way; all she needs to do is win the final victory. Who her opponent is doesn't matter!
Feng Jiutian headed straight for the Royal Academy's seats. As she brushed past Shangguan Yi, Shangguan Yi's voice, barely audible, suddenly reached her ears: "You are the first person to dare to snatch something from this prince. Remember, on the arena, this prince will personally take it back."
As Shangguan Yi spoke, his gaze casually swept over the fluffy hair clip on her head.
What did she steal from him?
This guy inexplicably followed her and tried to kill her last time, and now he's saying she stole his things. Is he crazy?
Feng Jiutian looked completely bewildered and, too lazy to waste words with Shangguan Yi, quickly walked to his seat and sat down.
Today is still the individual competition. The rules of the four-nation competition are very simple: one person is eliminated each day. That is to say, the winner of the competition will participate in a draw with those who did not compete and continue to participate in the next competition.
Such a competition system is not fair. If someone is incredibly lucky, it's not impossible for someone who has never participated in a battle to get a bye all the way to the finals and compete for first or second place. But who says that luck isn't part of ability?
After everyone drew lots, they handed the slips to the referee. Feng Jiutian hadn't slept all night, having spent the entire night observing Xuanjizi's alchemy process.
Although she didn't do it herself, it still took a lot of mental energy, so she was a little tired and wanted to close her eyes and rest for a while.
Unexpectedly, the referee's voice came from the stage.
"Today's contestant is Feng Jiutian from the Royal Academy!"
"Feng Jiutian! It's Feng Jiutian again!"
"Is this competition really going to be alright? If it's alright, then Feng Jiutian is really unlucky!"
"..."
Before Feng Jiutian could react, the crowd couldn't help but start discussing. The competition had only been going on for six days, and apart from the team competition, this was the fourth individual competition. Feng Jiutian's name appeared in three of them!
Feng Jiutian frowned slightly, but didn't feel much. She was just a little tired, but she could still handle the competition. In her previous life, she had often carried out missions that were much more intense than this.
Above, the referee's voice continued: "Feng Jiutian's opponent is Shangguan Yi from Luojia Academy!"
"Shangguan Yi! Shangguan Yi! Shangguan Yi!"
As soon as the referee finished speaking, a violent commotion suddenly erupted in the crowd, especially among the women, many of whom were shouting Shangguan Yi's name.
In terms of fame, Shangguan Yi is far more renowned than Feng Jiutian. His noble status, extraordinary talent, and charming appearance are all assets that drive people crazy.
Feng Jiutian raised an eyebrow. She hadn't expected that this lunatic would be so popular. Last time, she was no match for him and had to flee in a hurry, but at that time she was only at the fifth level of cultivation. This time, she wanted to see just how much Shangguan Yi had improved!
Both of them went up on stage decisively. Shangguan Yi had a frivolous smile on his lips, making no attempt to hide his admiration: "The last time we met you, you were only at the fifth level of cultivation, but now you are already at the peak of the Grandmaster. Even I, the Prince, am in awe of such a cultivation speed."
