I've waited for you for a thousand years, and I've lived this life just to meet you

The entire central area of ​​Danxin Square has been occupied by more than 2,000 arenas shining with rune light, leaving enough buffer zones between each other.

At the edge of the arena, a light curtain condensed by runes flickered, obviously a protective formation to isolate interference.

Su Yuer was shocked.

This purple-gold Bagua furnace was actually a massive and exquisite formation! Using the weapon as a formation, combining the formation and the weapon into one, this method was truly unheard of!

"Fuck! So awesome!"

Yang Jian stared with disbelief on his face.

Shi Mubai's eyes were deep, and he nodded slightly: "It is indeed amazing. Guiyi Academy has been passed down for thousands of years and has a profound foundation, far beyond the imagination of the outside world.

Yu Xiao stood on the high platform, his voice like a bell: "There are a total of 5,381 people who have passed the first round. Due to the limited number of arenas, the second round of fire control competition will be divided into two batches!

Now, the first batch of contestants, find the ring with your name engraved on it and get ready!"

As soon as the words fell, all the contestants immediately took action. Above the arenas, clear letters suddenly appeared in light, marking the names of the contestants who were about to take the stage.

Su Yuer looked around. After the screening by Danqiao, there were only less than 6,000 contestants left out of the tens of thousands.

The elimination rate in this first round is terrifying!

Soon, she saw the arena with the words "Su Yuer" floating on it and was about to step forward.

"Su Yu'er."

A cold voice sounded from the side, it was the man in black robe, "The alchemy is about to begin, open your eyes and watch how I... beat you." He deliberately emphasized the last two words.

Su Yu'er didn't even bother to lift her eyelids. Without stopping, she just slowly uttered three words: "Psycho."

"you……!"

The black-robed man's face instantly turned pale, with murderous intent surging in his eyes. "Very good! I hope your mouth can stay this hard!" He snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and walked towards his own ring.

On the other side, Luo Ziqian glanced at Su Yuer with resentment, a cold arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he also walked towards his position.

He had to endure it! His father's warning was still ringing in his ears, and he couldn't act rashly at this moment.

??!

In the tense and explosive atmosphere, a clear and melodious bell sound once again resounded through the sky, drowning out all the noise.

The noisy viewing platform suddenly became quiet.

Everyone's attention was focused on the two thousand or so arenas gleaming with rune-like brilliance. The second round, the Fire Control Competition, officially began!

"Now,"

Yu Xiao's voice was clearly heard throughout the room. "The Vice President of Guiyi College, Yao Shangcheng, announces the rules for the second round!"

Under the gazes of countless people, Yao Shangcheng slowly stood up, his expression solemn. He swept his eyes across the crowd of contestants below the stage, finally landing on his daring disciple.

Coincidentally, Su Yuer was also looking up.

Their eyes met, and Su Yu'er winked at him playfully, a bright smile blooming on her face, as if she was not the one who had just confronted the Divine Emperor and forced the city lord's son to kneel down and call him ancestors in public.

Yao Shangcheng felt helpless and proud, but his expression remained calm. The corners of his mouth curved slightly, and then he spoke loudly. With the blessing of divine power, his voice was clearly heard by everyone: "Alchemy Exchange Conference, the second round - Fire Control Technique, begins now!"

His gaze was as sharp as a torch as he scanned the entire room. "As everyone knows, the art of controlling fire is the cornerstone of alchemy! The subtleties of fire control determine the success or failure of an elixir's quality! This round of competition will test your control over fire!"

Rumble!

As he spoke, the highest white marble platform in the center of the square shook again. In the center of the more than 2,000 arenas, a slightly smaller circular platform slowly rose.

On the high platform, rows of small, black and simple tripods are neatly arranged.

At a glance, there are actually thousands of them!

Almost immediately, Yao Shangcheng's entire body erupted in a divine light as blazing as the sun, unleashing the vast aura of the Divine Emperor realm. With a wave of his hand, a surge of unparalleled divine power, like an invisible giant hand, enveloped the thousands of small tripods on the platform!

The void trembled and the buzzing sounds became one.

I saw that the lids of those small black tripods suddenly opened as if pulled by an invisible hand.

In an instant, flames of various shapes and colors, like elves that had been imprisoned for thousands of years regaining their freedom, floated up from the cauldron!

Crimson red, dark blue, brilliant gold, pale white… Countless flames of various shapes and properties swayed, jumped, and hovered in the air, illuminating the entire platform with a bizarre and dazzling brilliance!

A heat wave mixed with completely different auras such as hot, cold, violent, and warm instantly swept across the entire Danxin Square!

Each suspended flame contains unique attributes and unparalleled violent energy between heaven and earth.

They are not ordinary fire, but strange fire seeds that Guiyi Academy has collected from all over the world with all its efforts, or the essence of fire condensed by peerless strong men, mixed with a faint trace of the origin of strange fire!

It was already difficult for an ordinary alchemist to barely control a single flower, and the requirements of this round of competition...

Everyone on the viewing platform was already stunned by the grand display of Guiyi Academy, their eyes fixed on the magnificent spectacle formed by the interweaving of thousands of flames in the air.

Xiao Mohan leaned lazily in the chair with his legs crossed. There was only Su Yuer's figure in his deep eyes, and there was an undisguised doting smile on the corner of his mouth.

Shi Yan'er and several other women also opened their eyes wide and stared at the magnificent scene in the sky with bated breath.

"What you saw,"

Yao Shangcheng's voice, like a mighty bell, resounded through the square once more, carrying with it an undeniable authority. "These are the thousand sources of heaven and earth fire that Guiyi Academy has prepared for all the contestants! The art of controlling fire emphasizes subtlety and control!"

His gaze was like lightning as he swept over the first group of contestants who took the stage. "You must simultaneously control three flames of different and conflicting properties! Hold them suspended in front of you. They must not touch, merge, or extinguish!"

Only those who can maintain a stable flame for ten breaths will pass.

The one who holds out the longest and maintains the most stable fire will be the winner! At the end of this round, the winners will advance to the third round based on their standing time! Now - begin!

As soon as the rules were announced, the whole audience was in an uproar!

Control three strange fires with conflicting attributes at the same time?

Still need to maintain it for ten breaths?

This difficulty is even greater than that of Danqiao!

Many of the first batch of performers turned pale as paper. Even the audience erupted in exclamations of surprise. No one had expected that over three-quarters of the people would be eliminated in the second round.

"Who will be first in this second round?"

"The strange fire with conflicting attributes is the most difficult to control. Gu Yuntian of Xuantian Pavilion should be able to control it!"

"Not necessarily! In the first round, Yao Lao's disciple stunned the whole audience. This time, she might take the lead again!"

Whispers spread across the viewing platform.

The cruelty of this alchemy exchange meeting was far beyond imagination. It was extremely difficult to stand out from it.

All the contestants quickly gathered their minds. Luo Ziqian and the black-robed man, Gu Yuntian, finally revealed a solemn expression. They all took a deep breath, their minds like a net, reaching out to the raging sea of ​​flames in the sky.

In an instant, the void hummed and invisible energy waves vibrated violently.

Su Yuer's eyes swept across the names of the contestants above the arenas, and finally stopped on Luo Ziqian and Gu Yuntian.

"Gu Yuntian..."

She sneered in her heart, "We are both in the first batch? It really is fate."

A flash of crimson flashed across her eyes, and they instantly opened. Her gaze swept across the thousands of dancing flames, and deep within those crimson eyes, a burning desire to fight burned even more fiercely.

She took a deep breath, and her spiritual thoughts extended out accurately and swiftly like invisible tentacles.

Almost at the same time, three flames came in response.

One is the "Earth Core Lava Fire" that is as red as blood and emits a scorching and violent aura!

One is the "Nine Netherworld Phosphorous Fire" which is dark blue and cold, and seems to be able to freeze the soul!

The last one is the "Green Jade Thunder Fire" which looks soft but actually contains terrifying explosive energy!

These three flames have completely opposite properties and violent energy. They are all pulled by the divine consciousness and struggle violently like wild horses. The repulsive force between them is even more astonishing.

Su Yu'er's expression was solemn, her ten fingers fluttering like butterflies, instantly forming dozens of complicated and mysterious fire-controlling seals, which were exactly as recorded in the ancient alchemy scriptures.

The majestic power of the soul transformed into an invisible net, forcibly restraining the three unruly flames within a few feet in front of him.

The crimson, blue and turquoise lights collided and intertwined violently in front of her, making a hissing sound, and the violent energy fluctuations made her clothes flutter.

Just as she regained her composure, she heard a suppressed groan from not far away.

Glancing sideways, he saw the three flames floating in front of Luo Ziqian, the golden "Genjin Sharp Fire", the ochre "Hou Tu Xuan Fire", and the dark blue "Jiuyouming Phosphorous Fire," were in terrible chaos.

The dark phosphorus fire madly eroded the thick earth black fire, while the Geng metal sharp fire radiated sharp energy, constantly cutting the restraints on Luo Ziqian's soul.

Veins bulged on Luo Ziqian's forehead and his face flushed red. It was obvious that he was struggling to control himself. The three flames were shaky and about to explode out of control.

Further away, the scene before Gu Yuntian was completely different. A faint black mist enveloped him, and three flames hovered before him: a pale "Bone Spirit Cold Fire," a dark purple "Soul-Eroding Poison Flame," and a surprisingly rare "Void Star Flame"!

Under his exquisite fire-controlling seal, the three flames were like docile pets, maintaining a delicate balance with each other, so stable that it was frightening.

He raised his eyes and cast a provocative look at Su Yuer.

Su Yu'er turned a blind eye, her mind heavy.

She clearly felt the violence and fierce repulsion of the three strange fires, especially the green jade thunder fire, which seemed to contain a volcano about to erupt, and the power of destruction continued to impact her soul.

"Humph, a mere flame, you think you can turn the world upside down?"

Deep within the sea of ​​consciousness, the ancient alchemy scripture suddenly shone with divine light, accelerating its rotation. A more refined and condensed fire-controlling power, imbued with the will of the origin of heaven and earth, surged forth.
