“Next up...”Angus’ introductions to the lower-ranked participants were not very detailed.After all, the gap in their medical skills was quite significant, and their chances of winning the championship were slim, so introducing them would only be a waste of time.“Next, let’s welcome the fifth-ranked participant, Dr. Willard Atkins. He is skilled in acupuncture and once held the record for the world’s fastest needle user, making him a rare talent!“In fourth place, we have the Eccentric Doctor, Eric Doherty. He has an unwritten rule when treating patients: he only treats men on odd number dates and women on even number dates, hence the title ‘Eccentric Doctor’. However, his medical skills are exceptional and undeniable.”“In third place is the Sage Doctor, Denzel Crawford. He excels in refining pills and is well-known among the people. Many people believe that his pills have the effects of ‘immortality’, earning him his title.“In second place is Dr. Zachery Ramsey from Gerland.
Zachery’s mouth twitched uncontrollably.How could this be possible?The ‘Wolf King’ was supposed to have jumped off the cliff and died on the spot!How could he appear here?Unlike Zachery’s shock, the Florencians below cheered in excitement.“Wolf King!”“Wolf King!”“Wolf King!”They called Andrius the Wolf King not because they believed that he was the real Wolf King, but because his exceptional display of skill yesterday in defeating Zachery earned their recognition!The doctors on stage all looked at Andrius intently when he appeared.The Wolf King’s performance yesterday was simply amazing.They even felt some pressure, so they regarded him as a tough opponent.This was especially true for Patrick the Insect Doctor. He knew that the so-called fake Wolf King was actually the real Wolf King, Andrius Moonshade. Furthermore, Andrius was the one who had crippled his disciple!Patrick wished that he could see through Andrius.“Alright.” Angus took a deep breath, and a sm
Thud...Squeak—Various sounds rang on the stage.The doctors opened the bottles using different methods.In an instant, the arena was filled with green poison. It was clear that this poison was extraordinary.Swoosh...Gurgle...Thump...After opening the bottles, some doctors observed the color and fragrance, while others directly poured the poison into their mouths, using their bodies to give the most honest response.In less than three seconds, various symptoms of poisoning appeared among the doctors.Some turned red, some frothed at the mouth, some turned pale, and some trembled all over. Their symptoms varied depending on their individual constitutions.The only common factor was that after experiencing the impact of the poison on their bodies, the doctors began searching among the thousand medical ingredients for the antidote.After Andrius drank the poison, he slowly closed his eyes.Three seconds passed.Swoosh...After three seconds, he suddenly opened his eyes
Hiss—Everyone could not help but hiss at the sight.On Frederic’s side of the arena, he prepared a yellow talisman paper in his left hand and a wolf-hair brush in his right. He dipped the brush in the medicinal liquid and began to draw patterns on the talisman paper.With each stroke of the brush, the crowd saw the illusion of fierce creatures, constantly roaring and growling.As the brush danced, the seemingly ordinary talisman paper was filled with an inexplicable brilliance. Just a glance at it made them quiver.Then, their minds became clear and perceptive.“He really is a witch doctor!”“He uses mysticism and medicine, and his ways are unfathomable to all. Frederic Hopkins really is worthy of his title!”“It’s impossible to learn that technique!”“You’re saying that as if the Wolf King’s technique was learnable. That’s ridiculous.”“They’re all amazing!”Just as everyone was immersed in Frederic’s superb techniques, a fragrance began to waft from a certain direction. T
“After seeing their skills, I realize how useless I used to be.”“It’s not just how useless you used to be. You’re still useless now and even in the future!”“Hahaha... If you keep talking like that, you’ll lose all your friends, young man!”“It’s not that we’re too lousy. It’s just that they’re too amazing...”The crowd sighed one after another.The Grand Medicinal Competition which occurred once every 20 years was a grand event for the medical community in Florence. Those who had made it this far were all skilled.“By the way... What about Zachery?”Someone suddenly perked up and asked about the Gerlandian.The audience immediately looked over.When they did, their eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets.Various modern medical apparatus such as IV bags, infusion tubes, and an ECG machine were set up in Zachery’s area.After preparing a solution, he was just about to administer it to himself intravenously.“Holy crap, he can do that?”“Damn, he has truly opened my ey
Ding-dong...At the critical moment, Zachery pressed the red button.Whoosh...The rescue team was already on standby and immediately rushed forward to save him.First, they fed him a pill, then pinched his acupoints, patted his back, and gave him water to drink...After a series of actions, Zachery’s complexion improved significantly.Angus looked at Zachery with a strange gaze and said, “Mr. Ramsey, since you pressed the red button and took the antidote, according to the rules, you have voluntarily withdrawn from the competition. Please leave the stage.”“Huh?” Zachery recovered slightly and said disdainfully, “When did I press the red button? I only pressed it because my body was out of control due to the poisoning. As for the antidote you mentioned...”Zachery stimulated his gag reflex and spit out the pill.Then, he tossed the pill on the ground and said contemptuously, “Look. I don’t need your antidote at all!”He had just tasted the antidote and believed he could repli
After reaching the highest point, they gracefully descended.Clink, clink, clink...They landed on the wooden table in a beautiful pattern.“Holy shit...”“He’s awesome!”“That guy is amazing! Who dares to question him?”“Wolf King!”“Wolf King!”The audience cheered so loudly that the sound pierced the sky.At the same time...Gulp!Denzel finished refining a pill and swallowed it.Skitter...Patrick’s two insects absorbed all the poison.Swoosh...Elmer retrieved all his silver needles back into his hands.Glug, glug...Frederic drank the water mixed with the ashes of his talisman.“Phew...”Fergus used conventional methods to prepare an antidote.They all successfully detoxified themselves!All those doctors finished the process almost at the same time as Andrius.“Whoa, that fake Wolf King is incredible. He finished treating himself at the same time as Dr. Bond and the other doctors who made it to the Heavenly Ranking in the last competition.”“He’s not as go
Then, she remembered several detoxification acupuncture methods listed in the Wolf King’s medical book.“I got it!”Luna immediately began to try treating herself using silver needles.However, her technique was average and clumsy compared to the other doctors. She barely managed to detoxify herself after several attempts.Seeing this, Angus announced, “Detoxification successful. Ms. Luna Crestfall will advance to the next round!”“Haha, she did it!”“From now on, Luna is one of the doctors in the Heavenly Ranking!”“Hahahaha! The Crestfalls have hope of rising!”“Hard work always pays off!”The Crestfalls and the Conerys were overjoyed upon hearing Angus’ announcement and burst into excited laughter.After Luna successfully advanced, only a couple of participants remained.Those doctors tried for a long time but felt that they fell short. In the end, they shook their heads and pressed the red button, preserving their lives.This round of the competition came to an end afte
Noir immediately checked the life token.It was unbroken!This meant that Andrius was still alive, and he must have ascended to the Divine Realm.Noir was relieved.Remembering his responsibility to protect Luna, he exchanged a glance with Halle, Kate, and the others before quietly leaving.Not long after, a group arrived at the Immortal Demon Palace and began their cultivation, striving to ascend to the Divine Realm as soon as possible.In an ancient and desolate location, there were grand halls, statues of fierce beasts that still seemed lifelike despite the passage of time, sky-piercing pillars, and a sea of clouds...Everything looked majestic and awe-inspiring.However, it was eerily silent, like a dead land devoid of life.Until...Whoosh!A ray of light suddenly shot from the distance, moving at an unimaginable speed and entering the soul control orb at the center of the great hall.Then, a soul apparition started to form.It was none other than Andrius.He looked
Andrius’ condition was pretty bad.He thought that with his current realm and strength, he could handle the divine tribulation and successfully ascend to the Divine Realm.However, the strength of the divine tribulation far exceeded his expectations.He seemed to have easily dealt with the first strike.In reality, the moment the divine lightning struck his palm, the destructive force within it surged through his meridians and directly attacked his soul.As expected of the divine tribulation.So, Andrius did not dare to be careless anymore and immediately gathered his immortal essence to resist.However, that was just the beginning.Each divine bolt was stronger than the last, and their deafening sounds and unstoppable destructive power left Andrius in agony.The tribulation cloud showed no signs of dissipating, too. Instead, it grew even darker and heavier, pressing down on everyone until they could not breathe.Rumble—Crackle—The thunder rumbled relentlessly, and the li
If his true form was destroyed and his soul dispersed, the life token would shatter.That would be how Noir and the others would know about his situation.For the rest of his time, since short-term improvements were difficult at his level, he did not cultivate. However, Andrius meditated every day to calm his mind and clear his thoughts.Soon, three months passed.Sensing the increasingly intense presence of the tribulation, Andrius did not hide anymore and removed the effect of the Primordial Unity Pearl that was concealing his aura.Whoosh...An immense power surged forth, and massive tribulation clouds soon formed in the sky.At that moment, Andrius sat on top of a desolate mountain.A large crowd had gathered in the distance.It had been many years since anyone in the Immortal Realm had attempted the divine tribulation. Furthermore, Andrius had deliberately invited many people to witness the event to broaden the influence of the Lunarius Alliance.“Hiss... As expected of
Andrius chuckled. “It’s not that serious. I already have a plan.”“Tell me, Andy.”“I have an extraordinary treasure. The treasure itself contains its own independent space filled with countless treasures and living beings. Furthermore, the spiritual energy inside is ten, a hundred times richer than the outside world. I plan to entrust this treasure to you. Carve out a secluded area within it for Luna to recover.”Andrius slowly explained.The extraordinary treasure he spoke of was none other than the Immortal Demon Palace.With his current strength, crossing the divine tribulation would not be a problem.The Immortal Demon Palace was an independent realm constructed by the beings of the Divine Realm. Even figures like Cedric, the Blood Demon King, the Hidden Monarch, and the others had no choice but to follow its rules.Hiding Luna inside would ensure her safety.Of course, there was a small problem. If Andrius perished in the Divine Realm, as the owner of the Immortal Demon P
It was as if the dragon soul had always been part of his body.“How strange...”Andrius muttered to himself and continued to observe.Nothing happened.The dragon soul quickly integrated into his own without any further events.It only gave Andrius a vague sense of completeness, like something had filled a gap within him.It was a mysterious and eerie feeling.Swoosh...After the dragon soul left, the massive dragon bones collapsed, turning into a pile of white ash on the ground.It was clear that the dragon bones were preserved until now solely because of the dragon soul’s presence.“Forget it.”Seeing that the matter was settled, Andrius did not dwell on it.After glancing around and finding nothing unusual, he steadied himself, walked outside, and began thinking about his next move.“Andy!”“Wolf King!”“Andrius!”As soon as they saw Andrius, Noir, Halle, Kate, and the others rushed to him.While Andrius was absorbing the dragon soul, Noir had filled them in on the
Whoosh...Just as Andrius sent a wisp of his divine sense to investigate, an apparition suddenly emerged from the dragon bones.It was vague and ethereal, yet exuded a powerful aura.Gradually, it took the shape of a dragon.Andrius raised his brows. He was not surprised, though, let alone afraid.He looked at the dragon apparition, who looked back at him.Soon, the dragon apparition spoke in confusion, “Young man, I smell an extraordinary aura on you.”Smell...Many thoughts flashed through Andrius’ mind.What could a dragon find extraordinary? Perhaps it was the scent of the Divine Realm or the Void Thunder Dragon. Could it be the Divine Realm phoenix?The next second, the dragon asked, “Are you a descendant of the phoenix?”Andrius casually raised his hand, and a wisp of flame appeared at his fingertips. It was the phoenix’s true flame.“I knew it!”The dragon apparition trembled slightly.Then, its enormous eyes showed a trace of sorrow.Andrius frowned, sensing some
The remaining power of Andrius’ punch slammed into the man’s head viciously, like a hammer smashing a watermelon, splattering everywhere.“Hiss—”The captured cultivators could not help but gasp.Wow.Who was this guy? He was able to kill a mid-stage Aureate Immortal in just a single punch. Was he even human?Even Halle, Kate, and the others were dumbfounded.It had not been long since they last saw him, but he had already grown to be this powerful. It was completely unbelievable.The members of Dragon Immortal Sect were shocked and terrified.He was too strong!Even the sect leader was killed in one punch. They would be serving themselves up on a silver platter.At that moment, everyone kneeled.“Please have mercy!”“Please spare us.”It was the sect leader who ordered us to do this...”They groveled repeatedly, banging their heads until they bled. Though they did not dare stop.What was begging as long as they could live?However, Andrius’ words threw them into despai
“Andrius!”“Wolf King!”The group was instantly overjoyed when they saw Andrius.They soon snapped back to their senses, though. This was the heart of Dragon Immortal Sect, and they were in the middle of a sacrificial ceremony.“Run!”“Andrius, leave now. Don’t worry about us!”“That’s right. Just avenge us later!”They knew Andrius was strong, but they did not know how strong.After all, Dragon Immortal Sect was a powerful sect, and the sect leader and Grand Elder were all gathered in the hall.No matter how powerful Andrius was, he could not face off against so many opponents.Andrius could not help but laugh.However, before he could explain, Noir said solemnly, “Don’t worry. With Andy’s current strength, wiping them out will be as easy as slaughtering chickens.”Halle, Kate, and the others were stunned.Noir was extremely confident. Could Andrius have really become a great power in the Immortal Realm?While they were still in doubt...“It’s him!”The disciples immed
“It’s not a shame. As long as we awaken the true dragon’s soul, we can get any woman we want in the future.”“But it’s hard to find one that’s as beautiful and graceful...”The disciples drooled and spoke lewdly, but their actions were swift. They quickly restrained Halle and the others.Of course, they were not the only sacrifices.There were many other cultivators, even some powerful fiends and Demon Kings.“Let’s start!”In the center of the altar, Bernard saw that everyone was in place and gave the order.“Understood!”Everyone started to move.The disciples restrained Halle and the others firmly.The 108 core and elite disciples began channeling immortal essence, feeding it into Bernard’s body.In an instant, Bernard grew into a towering figure like a giant.It was one of his techniques.As he continuously chanted, the dragon bones in the center of the altar trembled slightly.It was clear he was trying to awaken the dragon.“No, I don’t want to die.”“You beasts!
