Chapter 1137: Six-Marked?

Chapter 1137: All Six Wen?

The third round of the dan duel began, drawing everyone's attention as discussions erupted everywhere.

Below, Ye Chen, who had been busy wiping his spirit pearl, lifted his head again. Just like the first time, he glanced over at Ruo Tian Zhu Que, scanning her from head to toe with unblinking eyes.

Given the nonsense from before, everyone at the scene simply ignored him this time, not bothering to engage with this fool.

Get lost!

Ruo Tian Zhu Que scolded him, using a sound transmission.

On the spot, Ye Chen toppled over headfirst, landing upside down in the ground, completely knocked out by Ruo Tian Zhu Que's outburst.

Even so, no one at the scene paid any attention to Ye Chen. Fool us once and try to fool us again? They all knew he was a clown; even if he stripped naked, no one would look his way.

Nian Wei stood up, but Ruo Tian Zhu Que pulled her back.

The Dan Fu alchemists stood up, only to be held back by Ruo Tian Zhu Que as well.

Silence fell, and the entire world seemed quiet.

On the dan duel platform, the Dan Fu alchemists and Yue Jin were locked in an intense battle, neither gaining the upper hand.

At some point, the scent of dans filled the entire Ling Dan Shan. On both the east and west sides, their alchemy furnaces hummed, radiating divine light and surrounded by mystical phenomena—the prelude to the dans emerging.

The dans are emerging!

The dans are emerging!

Sure enough, just three to five seconds later, the Dan Fu alchemist and Yue Jin shouted in unison.

Immediately after, two dan rainbows shot straight into the sky simultaneously, transforming into profound dan phenomena.

All six wen?

Shocked voices surged like a tidal wave from below. A fourth-tier alchemist had actually produced a six-wen dan.

I don't believe it! I don't believe it!

On the dan duel platform, Yue Jin's roars echoed.

His face twisted in fury, unable to accept this outcome. He had deliberately chosen a fourth-tier alchemist with beast fire, yet the result was unbearable—beast fire had turned into true fire, and a fourth-tier had produced a six-wen dan.

As Yue Jin roared, everyone's eyes unanimously turned toward Ye Chen.

Is Dan Fu a place that creates gods? Beast fire became true fire, and fourth-tier became sixth-tier.

Ku Yue's brows were already furrowed deeply, the strangeness of Dan Fu giving him a very bad premonition.

Fu Lord?

Here, the Dan Fu alchemist who had just finished the duel came down and pulled Ye Chen out of the dirt.

At the sight, people couldn't help but look over, their corners twitching collectively.

It wasn't without reason—they were just stunned by Ye Chen's pathetic state. His face was covered in mud, and blood was flowing from his eyes, mouth, nostrils, and ears, making him look like he'd been struck by lightning.

Ugh!

Ye Chen rubbed his eyes, which were seeing stars, his head still buzzing.

For some reason, seeing Ye Chen in such a miserable state gave everyone a strangely satisfying feeling.

That was a bit too harsh!

Mu Xuan Gong sighed and clicked his tongue as he glanced at Ruo Tian Zhu Que.

Ruo Tian Zhu Que, however, acted as if nothing had happened. She hadn't even used her full strength—if she had, Ye Chen would have been sent flying in an instant.

Continue!

While everyone watched Ye Chen, Yue Zong leaped onto the dan duel platform and, not forgetting to insult Yue Jin still on the stage, called him useless, making Yue Jin's face even more twisted with rage.

Yue Zong's shout drew all eyes back.

After three rounds, it was a three-way tie, which exceeded everyone's expectations and was more thrilling than imagined.

Don't waste time!

Before Yue Zong could choose, Ruo Tian Zhu Que's casual words echoed through Ling Dan Shan.

At these words, everyone's eyes lit up, and below, Yue Shan and Yue Hai exchanged glances, as if sensing what Ruo Tian Zhu Que meant—this was an invitation for them to go up together for a dan duel!

Then let's do it!

Yue Shan and Yue Hai both shouted and jumped onto the dan duel platform.

Three against three!

Many people sat up straight, their eyes shining brighter, anticipating the exquisite duel to come.

Pick anyone!

Ye Chen spoke up, waving weakly with one hand still clutching his head, his mind a complete fog.

Yue Shan and the others weren't polite. Though confident in victory, the strangeness of Dan Fu had shaken their confidence a bit. In their current situation, all they wanted was a win—nothing else mattered.

You, get on the platform!

That one in purple, come up!

You, get on for the dan duel!

Yue Shan and his group each selected a Dan Fu alchemist, their tones cold and blunt.

Hmm!

The selected Dan Fu alchemists showed no fear and leaped onto the dan duel platform.

Compared to Yue Shan and his group, they exuded more sharpness and confidence. Even if they lost, it wouldn't be shameful—Yue Shan and the others were renowned figures, deeply trained by Ku Yue, while they had only been trained for less than a month, starting with an inherent disadvantage.

Let's start!

The Dan Fu alchemists made the first move, summoning three alchemy furnaces and pulling out various rare materials with a wave of their hands.

Yue Shan and his group snorted coldly and didn't hold back, their own furnaces glowing with light—they were forged from precious divine materials, serving as both alchemy tools and treasures, mesmerizing the onlookers.

The dan duel resumed, the scene growing even more heated.

Below, Ye Chen remained slumped and listless, truly behaving this time.

Nian Wei approached and took out a handkerchief to wipe his face, drawing curious stares from the crowd.

Nian Wei's status needed no explanation—she was the only princess in the direct bloodline of the Zhu Que family, the apple of Ruo Tian Zhu Que's eye. Now, wiping the face of the Dan Fu lord, and clearly quite familiar with him, it only fueled everyone's curiosity about Ye Chen's identity.

I mean, your family ancestor really went too far with that hit!

Ye Chen had regained his senses, his face full of dark lines.

Then what exactly were you looking at?

Nian Wei continued wiping for him.

Nothing.

Ye Chen shook his head, shaking off the stars in his vision.

Holy Lord, are you perhaps interested in my ancestor?

Nian Wei smiled playfully.

Don't joke around.

I have to say, Zhu Que, those two do make quite a match.

Not far away, Mu Xuan Gong stroked his beard and chuckled.

You know, you're right—they really do.

Ruo Tian Zhu Que smiled lightly. The holy body bloodline was incredibly noble, more than worthy of her precious daughter. If it worked out, it would be a fine match.

If he forms a union with you, it would be a great boon for Zhu Que Star.

Oh?

We could invite his master to guard You Du.

Mu Xuan Gong said meaningfully, His master is at least a quasi-saint, and might even be a saint. With him and me together, we could make Zhu Que Star as secure as a fortress. Then, you could focus on breaking through to the saint realm.

At these words, Ruo Tian Zhu Que's eyes flashed.

Mu Xuan Gong's plan aligned with her own thoughts. As the ancestor of the Zhu Que family, she hadn't left Zhu Que Star in a millennium, fearing invasions from Qing Long Star and other ancient stars. Bearing the burden alone was tough.

Internal and external threats had kept her from taking that step, dragging on for a thousand years.

She knew her situation better than anyone—her lifespan was running out, at most another decade.

Though Mu Xuan Gong had become a quasi-saint, he was newly advanced and couldn't hold off the two kings of Qing Long Star. But with another quasi-saint, especially one so unfathomable, it would be different.

As she pondered, Ruo Tian Zhu Que took a deep breath, resolving that no matter the cost, she had to bring Ye Chen's master out of seclusion.
