Chapter 2011: Chapter 1991:

Sure enough, it didn’t surpass anyone’s expectations; there’s still going to be a fight, and indeed it’s a one-on-one duel in the Arena.

Luo Qianqian and Long Tu were strictly forbidden from entering the stage...

However, even so, Luo Qianqian agreed, after all, she originally didn’t intend to make a move, right?

Her appearance was only to ensure He Wenyu had a fight to engage in, nothing more, so she didn’t care at all about being ’banned’.

The system used was a best of five, which didn’t surprise Luo Qianqian at all, since there were exactly five people among them who were very peculiar, so everything was within grasp, right?

Hearing that He Wenyu would enter the arena, Long Tu was also stunned, but after scanning He Wenyu a couple of times, he somewhat understood, and thus also nodded in agreement. After all, even if Long Tu didn’t enter the arena, he was still the most powerful, being in charge of everyone offstage, deciding who would go on stage.

Of course, those who wanted to enter the arena sat in the front, while those who didn’t want to, like Luo Qianqian, Luo Mier, and Di Jun, sat at the back.

That’s right, aside from these three, everyone else was eager to try; the others had already reached the class entrance to confront them, so how could they not give them a taste of their own medicine?!

However, what surprised Luo Qianqian was that in the opponent’s class, clearly, the strongest ones from before didn’t enter the arena.

The ones entering the arena were those she had no impression of before. Discovering this, Luo Qianqian was a bit amazed, what kind of confidence does one need to achieve this step? This indicates...the strange aura around them must be extraordinary, which is why they have the nerve to send these people forth.

Moreover, everyone knew the more powerful ones in each class, and the five unremarkable people in this line-up were obviously trying to put the Heaven Class to shame.

However, concerning the other class preventing Luo Qianqian and Long Tu from entering the stage, Luo Qianqian still felt a bit strange, finding it odd.

So, she reassured Di Jun and Luo Mier and decisively went forward, sharing her concerns with Long Tu.

After speaking, Long Tu’s gaze towards her became even stranger, but he said nothing, simply nodding.

Luo Qianqian was still uneasy, thinking it over, she decisively took out a bottle of elixir from her hand: "Mo gave this to me, so its efficacy is definitely reliable, but the problem is we completely don’t know how the opponent will act."

"The opponent has already acted." Long Tu said calmly: "Do you have any Ban Spirit Pill or Soft Bone Powder?" Turning his head to Luo Qianqian, Long Tu’s gaze was utterly calm, as if asking whether she’d eaten, showing no internal conflict or struggle.

"...Do you think I would have any? What I have is for self-defense. People who are prepared wouldn’t fall for such things, I’m not dumb." Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes, showing disdain without hiding it.

Long Tu: What don’t you have there? Even if Mo didn’t give you any, can’t you ask someone else? Don’t forget, you yourself are a highly capable Alchemist!

Of course... this was only commented on inwardly.

After all, the role of an Alchemist only found its place in this era; in heaven, they are called Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad, in the Human Realm they are called doctors, but here... people rarely fall ill, ordinary people’s sickness is treated by herbalists, while for people like them, it either needs no medicine to recover or is beyond hope. Although doctors exist, they are seldom needed. Alchemists mainly address cultivation-related issues.

Of course, it cannot be denied that the alchemist profession is extremely lucrative! Making one elixir from three materials is considered heaven-sent, with many people lining up to ask for favors, contingent on the Alchemist’s mood.

Just like someone like Mo, who mostly dabbles in poisons for self-defense, but he also provides elixirs frequently meant for his own use, as it shows Mo’s care, doesn’t it?

The rewards demanded by master alchemists with high success rates are also very high, not affordable for everyone.

Hence, alchemists remain highly scarce, especially skilled and competent ones like the Mo and Yan brothers.

However, asking them to refine elixirs? It requires personal ties; they don’t meet just anyone.

Of course... the elixirs and poisons in Luo Qianqian’s hands were given voluntarily, not requested by her.

Mo’s storage ring for her held quite a stockpile, with a notably visible quantity at a glance.

Nevertheless, she had no intention of exposing the ring’s value right now, as it was quite pleasing to the eye and she didn’t want such a small ring to bring her any trouble, especially difficult-to-handle trouble.

"Shiqi, what is this for?" As Luo Qianqian’s friend and older sister, He Wenyu saw no reason to stand on ceremony with Luo Qianqian’s belongings, so took one with confidence and equanimity, treating it not as a valuable elixir but more like a hawthorn ball or... a ball the Crazy Monk might roll around...

Even after repeatedly convincing herself it was just an ordinary tasteless elixir, but... isn’t it starting to look more and more like one after all these thoughts?

Luo Qianqian felt a bit uneasy gazing at He Wenyu’s expression. Why did it seem this look was strange? Did she mistakenly say something? Or accidentally... reveal a bit of something, making He Wenyu’s gaze this complex?

But upon close inspection... not even her attire, nor her face showed any reason for He Wenyu to gaze this strangely. What’s going on?

Subconsciously looking back at He Wenyu, she noticed that He Wenyu had already dropped the topic, showing none of that previous strangeness.

Seeing Luo Qianqian’s gaze, she even bared her little teeth and smiled.

"What’s the matter?" Observing the rather odd interaction between Luo Qianqian and He Wenyu, Long Tu also asked curiously.

"Nothing."

"Nothing."

Both replied in unison, displaying obvious tacit understanding, though Luo Qianqian still felt somewhat strange inside.

"Actually, those who go first only need to hold the rhythm, making it easier for those behind. Their current strategy clearly has a set time, not something they can keep up indefinitely," Long Tu analyzed.

Discussing this, it’s evident Mo excels in it, but he had left already. He was well aware of this aspect. Besides, being a man of resolve, he didn’t need someone else’s help, he intends to uphold this world by himself!

"Shall I go first then? Messing around or joking, I’m not that much worse than Shiqi in that regard." Having grown up together, there’s a certain level of understanding.

Luo Qianqian: ...

You did that on purpose, didn’t you! What do you mean by messing around and joking??? That’s what you call wit, bravery, and intelligence!!!
