Apocalypse: Resources Consumed by Women Returned Ten Thousandfold

...

Zou Limu and Old Liu from the Elixir Department quickly found Lin Lang. Zou Limu said with a beaming smile:

"Lin Xiaoyou, I thought you wouldn’t come today!"

Lin Lang shrugged, responding nonchalantly:

"Just bored, came by to have a look."

Elder Zou introduced with great enthusiasm:

"Today’s the finals; the strongest young talents are all here. This battle is definitely worth watching!"

Lin Lang just responded perfunctorily, appearing uninterested.

Old Liu quickly moved closer to Lin Lang, smiling broadly:

"Mr. Lin, when will you be free? How about accompanying me to the Alchemy Area? This competition truly has nothing to see."

Elder Zou gave Old Liu a look, saying:

"Old Liu, why are you in such a hurry?"

Lin Lang smiled and said slowly:

"Let’s go after the competition finishes."

Upon hearing this, Old Liu happily agreed.

...

While Lin Lang was talking with them, Zhi Xi kept gazing curiously at the contestants on stage, couldn’t help but exclaim:

"They are all so amazing. Before the apocalypse, the Human Race had few masters, but now so many have emerged at once. The potential of humans is truly astonishing!"

Lin Lang casually asked:

"Who do you think is the most powerful up there?"

Upon hearing that!

Zou Limu and Old Liu also curiously gathered closer.

An intense competition often comes with bets.

Even they couldn’t resist indulging.

As for "Who will win the championship at the Martial Arts Conference," it was the focus for everyone at the moment!

...

Zhi Xi carefully observed, pointing with her finger:

"His vigor is strong; he seems quite powerful."

She was referring to Zhuo Yong.

Seeing this, Zou Limu laughed heartily and said with pride:

"The lady has quite an eye! I am that person’s teacher, though I am just an old man with little talent!"

Old Liu joked on the side:

"If Zhuo Yong wins the championship, you must treat us to a meal!"

Elder Zou patted his chest in assurance:

"That’s for sure!"

...

Zhi Xi then turned and asked Lin Lang:

"Who do you think has the best chance of winning up there?"

Lin Lang glanced at Elder Zou and then pointed at another person:

[Xiang Jinpeng]

[Combat Power: S+]

[Superpower: Flower Demon (Level 10)]

"Xiang Jinpeng?"

Elder Zou was somewhat surprised by Lin Lang’s choice.

This person was not among the championship contenders!

Old Liu also quickly said:

"Mr. Lin, you might be mistaken; Xiang Jinpeng barely made it into the finals. In terms of strength, he’s probably far behind Zhuo Yong!"

Lin Lang just smiled without explanation.

After all, Zhuo Yong’s combat power is S, while Xiang Jinpeng’s is S+, the highest among this group.

Clearly, he had hidden his strength in previous competitions, waiting to shine in the finals.

Seeing Lin Lang’s confident demeanor, Zhi Xi suddenly amended her choice:

"Then I’ll choose him too!"

Elder Zou said helplessly:

"Miss, weren’t you just supporting my student?"

Zhi Xi playfully stuck out her tongue, grabbing Lin Lang’s arm:

"I trust that Lin Lang can’t be wrong!"

Elder Zou’s eyes twinkled, saying:

"How about we make a bet?"

Zhi Xi held Lin Lang’s hand tightly, asking curiously:

"Bet on what?"

Elder Zou said:

"If you win, I’ll give you a treasure; it’s one of my precious collections!"

Zhi Xi, although straightforward, was cautious and said:

"You should show it first; I can’t just rely on your words about its worth."

Elder Zou laughed heartily, complimenting:

"The young lady is quite prudent!"

With that, he pulled out a delicate wooden box from his pocket.

Opening the box, inside was a Jade Pendant, emitting a refreshing fragrance, drawing the attention of those around.

Lin Lang took a sniff and immediately felt a sense of tranquility and happiness. He used the Eye of Destiny to examine it, seeing the Jade Pendant glowing with golden light, clearly a genuine treasure!

Zhi Xi hesitated, but Lin Lang decisively said:

"Alright."

Elder Zou looked at Lin Lang with a smile and said:

"Lin Xiaoyou, although our relationship is good, this is a bet; you must offer something too."

Zhi Xi, a bit embarrassed, whispered:

"I don’t have any treasures with me."

Upon hearing this, Lin Lang took out a Realm-Breaking Pill from his Space and asked:

"Will this do?"

This Realm-Breaking Pill was refined by Lin Lang for Zhong Jianqiu, the old Palace Master of the Martial God Palace, back during his time at the Martial God Village.

"Gasp!"

The moment the Realm-Breaking Pill appeared!

Old Liu immediately gasped in astonishment—

Though he didn’t know what kind of Elixir it was, his intuition told him it was not an ordinary item!

Elder Zou, perceiving something as well, quickly asked:

"Lin Xiaoyou, what’s this?"

Lin Lang replied:

"This is the Martial Arts Realm-Breaking Pill."

Upon hearing this, Elder Zou widened his eyes in shock!

As an Ancient Martial Artist, he naturally understood the function of the Realm-Breaking Pill and couldn’t believe the legendary Elixir truly existed!

Old Liu also exclaimed excitedly:

"This is a Top-grade Elixir! Even if it’s not a Realm-Breaking Pill, it’s extremely precious!"

Lin Lang affirmed:

"Of course, it’s a genuine Realm-Breaking Pill!"

...

At that moment!

Wei Tianxing at the judges’ table turned his head sharply to look toward Lin Lang and the others, his eyes full of shock:

"What a terrifying medicinal power! What kind of Elixir is that?"

Unfortunately!

Lin Lang put the Realm-Breaking Pill back into his Space the next instant.

Wei Tianxing stared intensely at Lin Lang.

A bespectacled fat man beside him hurriedly asked:

"Old chief, what’s wrong?"

Wei Tianxing said seriously:

"Lin Lang is carrying a great treasure!"

"What!"

The fat man was so shocked his mouth dropped open!

...

Elder Zou remained lost in the shock caused by the Realm-Breaking Pill, his thoughts not yet fully returned.
