Chapter 48: Red-Hot! Body Sculpting Flame Pill!
Clang—
On the stage, Xiao Ze flicked his fingers against the long sword, producing a crisp sound of metal clashing.
The person opposite him only felt a blur before their eyes, and their hands were suddenly empty as their beloved sword had fallen into the enemy's hands.
Bang!
Xiao Ze reversed his grip on the sword and used the hilt to strike the person's abdomen, forcing them to bend over.
By the time she raised her head again, Xiao Ze had already held the long sword against her neck.
"Classmate, I win."
The girl with a good-looking face sighed helplessly.
Although she had anticipated this outcome early on, she still felt somewhat unwilling!
Clearly, she had made it to the finals.
Just one step further, and she could have obtained a fifth-grade pill! But facing Xiao Ze, it seemed like an insurmountable mountain.
In his hands, she couldn't even last one round before he had the long sword at her neck.
"I lost, Classmate Xiao Ze."
The referee also announced timely.
"In this match, Xiao Ze from the Yellow-rank Second Class wins!"
On the judging platform opposite, the vice-dean stood up and announced to the crowd.
"The ultimate winner of this class competition is Xiao Ze!"
"At the same time, Xiao Ze's class, the Yellow-rank Second Class, will receive the academy's support in the coming year!"
"Woo hoo!!!"
As soon as Hu Qian's words fell, Xiao Ze's class erupted into cheers, chanting Xiao Ze's name in unison.
Even Xiao Ze's smile on the stage couldn't be maintained.
"Here's your long sword."
Xiao Ze reversed his grip on the long sword and handed the hilt to the person.
"Thank you for the lesson, but I will definitely reclaim today's defeat someday!"
The female classmate flashed a charming smile and took the long sword, resolutely declaring.
"I hope so."
Xiao Ze said indifferently.
If she really wanted to reclaim her honor, then he would just find a place to slit his throat.
"Please come up to receive your personal victory reward, Xiao Ze."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ze's eyes lit up, and he quickly jumped off the stage and headed for the opposite platform.
This was the fifth-grade pill he had been yearning for!
Hu Qian looked at Xiao Ze, a hint of smile on his face.
From the class competition, Xiao Ze was indeed worthy of the cultivation program.
However, Xiao Ze still needed some time to grow.
The future Xiao Ze would surely leave a significant mark on the continent!
"Take it, this is the rare masterpiece refined by the Alchemy Department's Elder Huo."
"I persuaded him to offer it as a prize, and he was quite reluctant, giving me a hard time about it."
Hu Qian said cheerfully, handing the jade bottle to Xiao Ze.
The jade bottle felt warm in his hand, and Xiao Ze could feel the powerful energy emanating from the pills stored inside.
"Thank you, Vice-Dean!"
"This is well-deserved for you!"
Then, as requested by the vice-dean.
Amidst the gaze of the crowd, he raised the jade bottle high, declaring himself the ultimate winner of this competition.
Back in the classroom, Xiao Ze disappeared in the blink of an eye.
It was the vice-dean's last request that made it hard for him to keep smiling.
Canaan Academy, back mountain.
The place where the three of them often practiced together, Xiao Xuner and Xiao Yixian were already waiting.
"Hoo... The vice-dean's final request really makes it difficult to maintain a forced smile..."
Xiao Xuner couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.
"But classmates feel really cool, declaring themselves the ultimate winner in front of everyone."
Xiao Yixian nodded in agreement, saying seriously.
"I think every boy would want to be in his shoes, and it's also the most attractive way to catch a girl's attention."
Xiao Ze rubbed his arm, still not quite used to it.
"By the way, why don't you take this Body Sculpting Flame Pill? Xuner, you have the fire attribute, so the effect should be better for you."
The Body Sculpting Flame Pill was the prize Xiao Ze had won as the ultimate victor.
Although it was effective when he took it himself, it wasn't as significant.
After Xiao Xuner took it, the effect would be tenfold, which was what Xiao Ze eagerly anticipated!
"In fact, this kind of pill for improving aptitude doesn't require a high attribute. Xiao Ze, perhaps the effect would be better if you take it. It could elevate your talent to another level."
Xiao Xuner extended her jade hand and gently pushed the jade bottle back.
"Why are you being so polite with your big brother Xiao Ze? I gave Little Doctor Fairy a scroll of Earth-tier martial arts. Can't I give you a fifth-grade pill?"
Xiao Ze said somewhat forcefully, grabbing Xiao Xuner's hand and placing the jade bottle in her palm.
"Moreover, I have already completed the transformation of my cultivation method. With it, my cultivation speed will be even faster. I don't want to end up alone in the inner courtyard later."
Hearing this, Xiao Xuner stopped resisting. She didn't want to be separated from her big brother Xiao Ze!
Xiao Yixian, who was standing aside, also became serious.
What Xiao Ze said was true.
Xiao Ze's cultivation speed now far surpassed theirs, creating a considerable gap between them!
If they didn't strive to catch up now, Xiao Ze would truly enter the inner courtyard alone.
Xiao Xuner opened the jade bottle, and a strong scent of pills accompanied a faint energy fluctuation.
The mouth of the bottle emitted a scorching breath, and the surrounding temperature seemed to rise.
"What a strong scent of pills..."
Xiao Xuner fell silent for a moment before making a decision.
"Big Brother Xiao Ze, I'll wait until I reach the Nine Star Dou Zhe level before taking it."
"The potency of this pill is very powerful. Even after improving my aptitude, there will still be a significant amount of potency left."
"By then, with this residual potency, I could potentially make twice the effort to break through to Dou Shi!"
Xiao Ze nodded at her words.
Xiao Xuner wasn't far from becoming a Nine Star Dou Zhe.
Perhaps with this pill, she could directly break through to Dou Shi!
...
In the following days, the three of them devoted themselves to cultivation.
Xiao Ze did not collect Xiao Xuner's feedback reward, intending to save it for breaking through to the next level.
As for Xiao Yixian's feedback reward, perhaps the luck was depleted after the first time with a hundredfold reward.
The subsequent rewards were only one or two times, which could only be considered better than nothing.
For his Perfect Eradication Poison Body, it was just adding a touch of color to the already beautiful painting.
...
After the class competition, Xiao Ze suddenly became the center of attention.
Many people wanted to win over Xiao Ze, the star of tomorrow.
The Xiao Ze who, in the class competition, stepped forward with an invincible attitude, step by step towards the ultimate victory!
But what many people didn't expect was that after the class competition, Xiao Ze seemed to disappear without a trace.
He didn't even attend the academy's cultivation courses!
This directly left many people who wanted to win over Xiao Ze disappointed.
Actually, Xiao Ze did attend the cultivation courses occasionally. Sometimes, he would even participate in practical courses.
He had already completed all the theoretical courses.
Because of Xiao Ze's behavior, Ruolin had to arrange more people to practice with Xiao Ze during practical courses.
However, as a result, everyone's practice time was significantly reduced.
Other students didn't complain.
Except for those who practiced with Xiao Ze at the beginning, who could enjoy a full meal.
After the class competition, those who practiced with Xiao Ze could only have a sip of soup.
Because their practice time had been greatly reduced.
Even so, those students cherished it very much.
Because they knew that with Xiao Ze's talent, the time he spent in the same class with them would be very short, and he would soon enter a higher level of cultivation place.
Like... the inner courtyard!
Xiao Ze would gradually pull away from them!
All they could do was make use of this time to seek Xiao Ze's help.
Time passed in cultivation, and soon Xiao Xuner reached a critical bottleneck.
Nine Star Dou Zhe!
