Chapter 495: Instantly Clearing the First Trial Song Qing, the Mad Dog!
The elders standing behind the three Pill Tower Giants naturally pretended not to hear anything.
Some matters were best understood but never spoken about.
They had long mastered the art of "emergency avoidance."
Upon entering the twisted, gray space, Wu Tian immediately felt a strange fluctuation emanating from the emblem on his chest.
It was clear only those wearing this emblem could pass through without rejection.
Otherwise, they would be forcefully repelled by the space itself.
Of course…
For someone with overwhelming strength, this restriction meant nothing.
Inside the dense, gray fog, visibility was barely half a meter but only if one relied on ordinary eyesight.
Wu Tian closed his eyes for a brief moment, and when he reopened them, the scene became crystal clear.
With his terrifying soul power, this place posed no obstacle at all.
The environment here was very similar to the Tianmu Mountain Range in the Northern Region of the Central Plains.
For ordinary people, the surging energy currents were both an opportunity and a danger.
Sweeping his gaze across the area, Wu Tian easily spotted numerous powerful contestants.
After all, one had to be strong to become a sixth tier alchemist.
The weakest here were Dou Kings, and there were even plenty of Dou Ancestors and Dou Venerates among them.
Wu Tian took a single step forward and in an instant, he surpassed the majority of the participants.
None of them even noticed his presence.
This was the difference between a true powerhouse and the average competitor.
To Wu Tian, the illusory formations in this space were meaningless.
With each step, he effortlessly overtook one figure after another.
Along the way, he sensed a familiar aura
Bone Ghost, the Second Heavenly Venerate of the Hall of Souls!
However, his appearance had completely changed.
He now looked like a youthful teenager, clearly trying to disguise himself.
Wu Tian smirked.
Shameless!
It was obvious Bone Ghost must have seen Wu Tian's handsome face and wanted to blend in with the younger generation.
But how could he possibly know…
Wu Tian was actually only in his twenties!
In just fifteen minutes, Wu Tian reached the massive, twisting void ahead the gateway to the Pill Realm.
Not wanting to stand out too much, Wu Tian waited at the entrance for about half an hour.
During that time, he sensed the presence of Bone Ghost and several other old monsters approaching.
When the others finally arrived and saw Wu Tian already standing there casually, they were stunned beyond belief.
How had he gotten here so fast?!
Shortly after, Cao Ying, Dan Chen, and the rest arrived as well.
The clearing before the gateway served as a resting point for those who cleared the first trial.
Even a powerful faction like Ice River Valley couldn't have constructed such a resting space within the void.
This alone left countless alchemists in awe.
Most contestants, after arriving, chose to spread out.
After all, in this competition, there were no allies only rivals.
It was clear that many had engaged in fierce battles along the way.
However, a rare few still moved in small groups like Cao Ying and Dan Chen, who were naturally inseparable.
Seeing Wu Tian arrive so much earlier, both women were both exasperated and amazed.
Not only was his soul power frighteningly strong, but his combat strength was equally formidable.
A true all rounder!
Of course, the moment Cao Ying and Dan Chen appeared, they immediately became the center of attention.
After all, they were the most stunning figures here.
Still, no one dared to provoke them.
Cao Ying was Xuan Kong Zi's personal disciple.
Attacking her within the Pill Tower's domain?
That would be a death sentence.
Cao Ying's lips curled into a seductive smile, her gaze playful.
This caused Song Qing, who arrived a moment later, to frown slightly.
Yet, it also left countless men utterly mesmerized.
Ignoring the gazes of others, Cao Ying and Dan Chen walked directly toward Wu Tian.
"Wu Tian gege, why did you run so fast? You didn't even wait for me and Dan Chen."
Cao Ying's eyes flashed with playful reproach, while Dan Chen pouted adorably in agreement.
The entire crowd was shocked.
These two peerless goddesses… were actively approaching this young man?!
And from their tone…
Was it possible that he had actually abandoned them first?!
Were they still inside an illusion?!
Was this reality?!
Wu Tian merely smiled lightly.
"If I had waited for you both, our speed would've slowed down significantly."
He glanced at the surrounding crowd his gaze lingering slightly longer on Song Qing.
Hearing this, Cao Ying and Dan Chen's dissatisfaction instantly vanished.
Alright, that's better.
They knew full well how attractive they were.
If Wu Tian had traveled with them, he would have been targeted by jealous competitors.
Especially Song Qing
That guy was definitely planning something against Wu Tian.
He had disappeared for two whole days…
He was definitely scheming something.
But in the first trial, he had failed to even see Wu Tian's shadow.
This made him absolutely furious.
Especially now, watching his beloved Cao Ying flirting with Wu Tian…
He was about to explode!
They had just come out of the same room together…
And now, they were still acting all intimate?!
No.
It wasn't just "intimacy."
Cao Ying was completely infatuated with this bastard Wu Tian!
Damn it!
I was blind!
Just wait!
When the opportunity arises, I'll make sure you fall for me instead!
Song Qing internally raged like a rabid dog, yet on the surface, he still wore a warm, gentle smile.
Many young female alchemists were completely captivated by him.
"Wu Tian xiong, your speed truly amazes me. I can't help but admire you!"
Song Qing spoke with a false tone of friendliness.
Wu Tian couldn't even be bothered to acknowledge him.
This cold indifference left some of the infatuated female alchemists feeling resentful.
However, others found it even more attractive.
Some girls just loved the cold, aloof type.
Wu Tian's fanbase grew instantly.
The first trial had already eliminated countless competitors.
This was why fifth tier alchemists weren't even allowed to participate.
Even among the sixth tier alchemists, many had been forced out.
And the second trial… would be even harder.
Because now, they would enter the legendary Pill Realm!
At that moment, an ordinary looking old man appeared, riding on the back of a massive ancient turtle.
One glance was enough to tell this man's status was terrifyingly high.
Clearly, he was one of the Pill Tower's higher ups!
"The time has come."
"You may now enter the Pill Realm."
"Before stepping in, each of you must collect a mission scroll and a spatial stone from me."
"Only by gathering the required ingredients on your mission scroll can you successfully pass the second trial!"
