Chapter 671: 671
"The winning title has yet to be confirmed . Isn't it too early to be congratulating her?"
A burst of loud laughter erupted from afar . Under the support of a mysterious force, it broke through the barrier and made everyone here frown .
All of those elders' irises restricted . They didn't think the in-comer would be able to send voice into the barrier . That wasn't something anyone could do .
Too early?
The situation was pretty obvious by now . Other than Hong Zhuang Luo, who else had the right to have the winning title?
Everyone frowned and sought out the voice .
They saw a man in black walk forward slowly . He looked around 17 to 18 with a very ordinary face . Though the composition of his face was so simple that he would never stand out in a crowd, his temperament was out of the world, similar to the descendant of a god .
It was Ling Xian .
He saw that the competition had yet to end and sighed in relief . A smile also crawled onto his lips .
As long as he could make it before the end of the competition, then all is well .
Different than his excited self, everyone else was frowning . The way they looked at him was extremely unfriendly, especially the descendants who were here to flatter Hong Zhuang Luo . Their expressions were rather cold .
They were having so much fun discussing and thinking that Hong Zhuang Luo had won the title . Yet Ling Xian's sudden appearance and his provocative words made these people very unhappy .
The reality was that Ling Xian wasn't challenging anyone . He was merely describing a fact .
However, under the circumstance that everyone thought Hong Zhuang Luo was already the winner, what he had said sounded like a challenge .
All the admirers of Hong Zhuang Luo all chimed in at this .
"Who do you think you are? Fairy Hong had already brewed a fifth realm Dan of the eighth rank . The winning seat is hers for sure, why can't I congratulate her?"
"Exactly . The moment the Dan of the fifth realm was created, all of us admit our defeat . She is the winner we all accept!"
"That's right . Not only do we accept her as the winner, everyone else does as well . Fairy Hong is the winner of this year's Competition of the Path of Alchemy!"
Everyone chimed in . As they questioned and pushed back Ling Xian, they flattered Hong Zhuang Luo .
"You may accept her, but that doesn't mean I accept that . "
Ling Xian revealed a faint smile as he watched everyone inside the barrier, "Just because you admit your defeat, it doesn't mean I will lose . "
At those words, the people became a little startled . It took them a while to realize what was happening and they began to look at him with a not so friendly gaze .
"Interesting . So you want to participate in the competition . "
"Haha, you sure overestimate yourself . Fairy Hong's knowledge is very profound and her skills are anything but ordinary . What do you have to compete against her?"
"Exactly . We have a Dan of the fifth realm with the eighth rank, which is the same as winning the title . Yet here you are, wanting to enter the competition . Aren't you scared you'll get humiliated?"
"You sure are either stupid or you are too over your head . Fairy Hong's level of skills isn't something someone like you can just overtake . "
Everyone agreed on this point and decided that water had entered Ling Xian's head . There was no way he would be able to compete with the goddess in their hearts .
"The one seeking humiliation isn't me, it's you . " Ling Xian shook his head, wondering how was it possible that there is someone against him no matter where he goes?
Hearing this, the way everyone was looking at him turned cold . As they opened their mouths to disagree, Hong Zhuang Luo stopped them .
"Interesting . "
Hong Zhuang Luo had a very sarcastic smile on her lips . Right now, Ling Xian's clone, both on the inside and on the outside, was drastically different than his original, therefore, she couldn't identify him .
"So what you are saying is that you want to challenge me . "
Ling Xian grinned, "I am not challenging you . I just want to take part in the competition and win it . "
"The winning seat has been locked down by me . Nobody here can change that . "
Hong Zhuang Luo spoke softly, "Therefore, you are challenging me . "
"You can call it whatever you want . There is no difference between challenging you and wanting to be the winner . " Ling Xian shook his head and smiled, thinking that after everything, this Miss Hong was just as arrogant as before .
Though during their last encounter, he didn't end up interacting much with her, and they only exchanged about 10 sentences, he could feel it in his heart that this Heaven's Favorite was very very proud .
What was happening now had confirmed that guess .
"Do you know that every single person who's ever challenged me had lost in the end? They all lost real bad . " Hong Zhuang Luo smiled faintly .
"I actually didn't know about that . "
Ling Xian shook his head and then sarcastically said something that drove Hong Zhuang Luo insane .
"But I do know that during the last gathering of alchemists, you placed third . "
At this, everyone's face changed color .
Everyone who specializes in alchemy knows about the last gathering of alchemists and knows about how big of a humiliation it was for Hong Zhuang Luo to have placed third .
Therefore, after Ling Xian said what he had said, they all carefully peeked at Hong Zhuang Luo and as expected, saw that she was very close to exploding .
Her expression was dark and her hands were in tight fists . If it weren't for the guarding elders, she would be going insane right now . Though she didn't attack, her expression remained frigid and she stared at Ling Xian with killer's intent .
It was obvious that she was furious .
At this, Ling Xian frowned slightly . He didn't think she would react so violently . However, he didn't say anything . So what she was angry? He wasn't scared of her .
