Legend of the Asura Emperor

In just seven or eight minutes, Yunmeng had successfully extracted about four medicinal herbs. For her soul power, this speed was already quite fast. Chen Feng's speed was the same as hers, and he had just finished extracting the fourth medicinal herb. As for Fu Quan, relying on his own skills in extracting medicinal herbs, he was a bit faster than them and successfully extracted the fifth medicinal herb, preparing to extract the sixth.

As for Liu Su, who has the strongest soul power among the four, she already has the seventh medicinal herb, firmly leading the others.

Therefore, the main contest now is between Chen Feng and Yun Meng. Whoever loses will be eliminated.

However, while the competition to refine medicinal herbs was in full swing, Li Yu, Yi Lei, and Murong Ming noticed that Jun Han, who had performed amazingly in the first round, did not make a move at this moment. Instead, he directly picked up a spiritual fruit that looked like a pear from the pile of herbs and took a big bite of it. He showed no seriousness whatsoever in participating in the test.

Seeing Jun Han like this, Yi Lei, who had always defended Jun Han, couldn't stand it anymore and complained speechlessly, "What on earth is Jun Han up to? In such an important competition, he's actually eating spirit fruits..."

However, Li Yu burst into laughter: "Haha, I think this kid doesn't know anything about refining medicinal herbs, so he's just given up and waiting to die!"

Although Murong Ming didn't say anything, he was also speechless at Jun Han's eating of the spirit fruit.

Even if they really don't know how to refine medicinal herbs, they should at least pretend, right?

To openly eat spiritual fruits like that is just ridiculous!

Time passed slowly until the sixteenth minute.

Liu Su has successfully extracted fourteen medicinal herbs, while Fu Quan has extracted eleven. Only Yun Meng and Chen Feng remain to compete.

Each of them had only extracted nine medicinal herbs, and they didn't have much time left.

“Five minutes left…” A glint flashed in Yunmeng’s beautiful eyes, and a faint smile appeared on her red lips: “Chen Feng, you’re doomed to lose!”

"Nine Serpents Fire Control Technique! Three Serpents Fire Control!"

With a delicate shout, Yunmeng's snow-white jade hands swiftly moved in the air before her, flitting like butterflies among flowers, forming a hand seal that emitted a series of profound and mysterious fluctuations.

"point!"

With a flick of her fair, jade-like hand, a profound energy surged forth from her snow-white palm, erupting into the crimson cauldron before her.

slam-la-

As the mysterious fluctuations surged in, the flames in the cauldron began to boil. The blazing flames, as if sliced ​​by an invisible knife, split into three, each resembling a fiery serpent coiling in one corner of the cauldron.

Dividing a flame into three is nothing special, quite common. But being able to control a flame divided into three is multitasking, clearly a rather impressive technique!

However, using such methods was clearly a considerable burden for Yunmeng. A bead of cold sweat appeared on her fair face.

"Nine Serpents Fire Control Technique!" Li Yu was speechless upon seeing this.

Chen Feng, who was refining medicinal herbs, looked up and saw his master Li Yu's surprised expression. He realized that Yun Meng's methods were definitely not simple.

Chen Feng asked curiously, "Master, what's so powerful about the methods this girl uses?"

"The Nine Serpents Fire Control Technique is one of Old Man Yi Lei's most treasured skills, passed down from his grandmaster, a master who was close to a fifth-tier Soul Master! This move is an extremely powerful technique, whether for alchemy, weapon crafting, or combat!"

"This Nine Serpents Fire Control Technique divides the mind into nine parts, allowing it to unleash nine attacks simultaneously!"

"Furthermore, don't think that dividing it into nine will weaken the attack's power. Each of these nine attacks is stronger than the first! The strongest can reach nine times the power!"

"However, the Nine Serpents Fire Control Technique is extremely difficult to cultivate. Without sufficient aptitude, it is very difficult to successfully cultivate it. Even if one manages to cultivate it successfully, reaching the highest level is extremely difficult. For example, Old Man Yi Lei has not reached the peak; he can only reach the Five Serpents Fire Control Technique at most!"

Chen Feng's eyes were burning with desire, clearly showing his covetousness for the "Nine Serpents Fire Control Technique".

"I never expected this girl to have reached the level of controlling fire with three snakes at such a young age. She's really amazing! Given time, it won't be difficult for her to surpass Yi Lei!"

Murong Ming nodded approvingly.

"Refining them one by one, can you compare to me refining three at once...?"

A faint smile appeared on Yunmeng's lips. With a flick of her fair hand, three medicinal herbs flew out of her Qiankun bag.

"Roar!"

As Yunmeng's hand seals changed, a deep snake roar came from the crimson cauldron. The flames inside the cauldron churned and rolled incessantly. The three-headed fire snake raised its head, looked at the three medicinal herbs that flew into the cauldron, opened its mouth, and swallowed the three herbs whole.

“Squeak, squeak, squeak…”

The ear-piercing sound of medicinal herbs being refined came from the crimson cauldron, where the three herbs were melting at an alarming rate.

"What? It's actually possible to extract three plants at the same time!" Chen Feng's face turned extremely ugly.

"Chen Feng, you can admit defeat now!"

Yunmeng Yu pointed her fingers in the void, controlling three fire snakes to extract the essence of the medicinal herbs. In just a few breaths, three fragrant clusters of medicinal essence appeared.

With a wave of her hand, Yunmeng Yu dispelled the flames, and all the essence of the medicinal herbs floated into the crimson cauldron, shimmering with luster.

Seeing this scene, Chen Feng's eyes revealed a hint of despair.

Yunmeng completely extracted the essence of the three medicinal herbs, while she had only extracted one. In terms of quantity, Yunmeng had surpassed Fu Quan and become the second place in the second round.

Such a gap is impossible to bridge.

"I lost!" Chen Feng's face was ashen. He waved his hand to extinguish the flames inside the cauldron, and the medicinal herbs that had not yet been refined instantly turned into ashes. However, after a moment's thought, he smiled again and looked at Jun Han, who was still eating spiritual fruit beside him: "However, I am not the last one in this second round of testing. Jun Han has not refined a single medicinal herb yet. Even if he is a fourth-level soul technique master, it is impossible for him to refine ten medicinal herbs in the last three minutes to surpass me. Hehe."

Just as he was feeling very fortunate, Jun Han threw away the spiritual fruit in his hand and finally set off!

"Only three minutes left! Even if Jun Han is a fourth-tier Soul Master, there's absolutely no way he could refine ten medicinal herbs in three minutes. Besides, he doesn't understand any Soul Arts at all, so how could he possibly refine medicinal herbs? I'm going to win! Haha!"

Seeing that Jun Han, who had been watching the battle and eating spiritual fruits, had finally begun to refine medicinal herbs, Chen Feng's lips curled into a deep smile.

But what happened next made everyone present wonder once again if they were dreaming...

Jun Han exhaled a deep breath, his dark eyes instantly becoming profound, and he reached out with both hands from his sleeves, slowly extending them forward.

slam-la-

The condensed soul power burst forth from his palm, transforming into intense blue flames.

The flames gathered without dissipating, transforming into a ball of fire in Jun Han's palm, radiating dazzling light and intense heat like the sun!

Upon seeing this, everyone's eyes widened in shock, especially Li Yu, who wore an expression of utter disbelief: "This? Soul power transformed into fire! Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Li Yu was so surprised because only fourth-tier soul masters and above could successfully condense soul power fire. Furthermore, due to physical limitations, even some fourth-tier soul masters might not be able to easily transform soul power into fire!

The power of soul power transformed into fire is definitely several times stronger than that of ordinary primordial energy transformed into fire, and it can even be compared with the demonic fire of some powerful demonic beasts!

Therefore, being able to transform soul power into fire is one of the essential skills for a powerful soul mage.

But this only applies to some established masters of soul magic!

But now, Jun Han actually used his soul power to transform into fire, which shattered his worldview once again.

Murong Ming stroked his chin, a hint of interest in his eyes, and said, "To be able to transform soul power into fire, interesting... As expected of his son... He's definitely not to be underestimated..."

"Hmph, so what if he can transform his soul power into fire? Refining medicinal herbs requires more than just knowing how to unleash powerful flames! Plus, there are less than three minutes left. He's doomed to lose, doomed to die!"

Chen Feng snorted coldly, staring intently at Jun Han. He was already prepared to let Jun Han be at the bottom, so he had stopped refining the medicinal herbs.

Liu Su, Fu Quan, and Yun Meng, who were standing to the side, also stopped what they were doing. Since they had already ensured that they would not be eliminated, there was no need for them to continue refining.

Now, what they care about most is what tricks Jun Han can come up with.

After the stunning performance in the first round, they no longer underestimated Jun Han.

"go with!"

Jun Han clapped his hands together, instantly sending a ball of blazing fire into the medicine cauldron on the table.

Buzz!

If an ordinary soul mage were to refine medicinal herbs, they would spread flames throughout the entire cauldron to fill it with intense heat before refining the pills. Even second-, third-, and fourth-tier soul mages would do the same. However, Jun Han did not melt the flame ball; instead, he made it rotate inside the cauldron.

"This flame doesn't seem to be ordinary fire formed from elemental energy; it's much purer and hotter than typical fire formed from elemental energy!"

Seeing the flame in Jun Han's hand, all the soul masters present showed envy. The stronger the flame, the better it is for soul masters to refine pills and forge weapons!

"Master, what is Junhan trying to do?" Yunmeng asked, her face full of confusion.

Yi Lei also looked surprised and shook his head: "I don't know what the Prince wants to do either?"

"Wan Long Chao Ri!"

Under the questioning gazes, Jun Han suddenly let out a soft shout, slapped the medicinal herbs on the table with both hands, and immediately the forty medicinal herbs on the table flew out of the table like a blue dragon emerging from the sea, rushing into the cauldron one after another without stopping.

"My God, has Jun Han gone mad? Is he trying to extract the essence of all the medicinal herbs in one go?" Yun Meng covered her red lips with her jade hand, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise.

A look of amazement appeared in Yi Lei's cloudy eyes. Even if one mastered the Nine Serpents Fire Control Technique to the peak, one could only refine nine medicinal herbs at the same time. But Jun Han didn't have nine medicinal herbs, but forty! A full forty herbs!

Even the pinnacle of the Nine Serpents Fire Control Technique couldn't refine twenty medicinal herbs simultaneously!

"Has this kid lost his mind?"

Li Yu, Chen Feng, Fu Quan, Liu Su, and others also looked at Jun Han with strange expressions, thinking that he had lost his mind.

Only Murong Ming, the highest-ranking third-tier soul mage present, did not feel this way. Although he also thought Jun Han had lost his mind, for some reason, a strong sense of anticipation arose in his heart.

He was even more surprised and amazed when he saw Jun Han's exquisite control ability. Jun Han's superb soul control was definitely above his own!

"This kid is hiding his true strength!"

After a moment of astonishment, Murong Ming finally came to this insane conclusion!

"Refining!"

Ignoring the exclamations around him, Jun Han, completely absorbed in his work, tapped his fingers in the air, controlling the forty medicinal herbs that had flown into the cauldron to circle around the spinning ball of fire. The scene resembled forty birds orbiting a sun, as if they were paying homage.

This is his unique and unparalleled alchemy technique.

"Ten Thousand Dragons Rising to the Sun" means that after reaching the Great Perfection realm, one can simultaneously refine ten thousand medicinal herbs.

Of course, Jun Han's current level of cultivation is not yet capable of doing that; refining forty medicinal herbs at the same time is already his limit.

Sizzle—

Forty medicinal herbs swirled around the fireball like flying dragons, radiating intense heat that affected the herbs spinning around it. The herbs melted at different speeds, turning into drops of pure medicinal essence.

"What... what's going on? Why is Jun Han's refining method so powerful? It's practically flawless!" Li Yu and Yi Lei were dumbfounded when they saw this scene, and even had an urge to worship him.

Even Li Yu, who had just wanted to kill Jun Han, couldn't help but show his admiration at this moment.

Because, in terms of this refining technique alone, Jun Han's ability is more than a hundred times greater than his!

If it weren't for Jun Han refining the medicinal herbs, they would have no doubt that this was a divine skill that only a sixth-level or higher alchemy master could achieve!

Murong Ming was also taken aback. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly realized and laughed heartily, "Amazing! Amazing! Truly amazing! Jun Han's methods have far surpassed ours. This is the true art of soul manipulation!"

I humbly admit defeat!

Not to mention the others, even Murong Ming, who was of the highest rank present, repeatedly praised him and finally admired him to the point of prostration.

Even with Jun Han's barely adequate soul techniques, he himself appeared extremely insignificant!
