Chapter 971: Isn’t It Normal For A Grandmaster Alchemist To Bear The Lightning Calamity?

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

The three bolts of lightning were appalling. Their power astounded everyone present.

Wang Teng was stunned when he saw three bolts of lightning.

F**k, three at once?!

Wang Teng cursed uncontrollably.

But he remembered that he made three Nine Essence Soul Congealing Pills, so having three bolts of lightning… made sense!

Who’s scared of three bolts of lightning?

Wang Teng’s gaze turned sharp. He disappeared on the spot and flew towards the bolts of lightning.

“What’s this grandmaster doing?”

“Wait, is he going to receive the lightning personally?”

“This grandmaster is quite fierce!”

…

The audience below was flabbergasted when they saw this scene, almost screaming in shock.

Grandmaster Hua Yuan was stunned too. His expression underwent a huge change.

“Grandmaster Wang Teng is too reckless. As an alchemist, how can he resist the lightning calamity personally?” Grandmaster Harol got anxious.

“Quick, prepare the defense array of the alliance. Once something goes wrong, activate it at once,” yelled Grandmaster Hua Yuan.

The Secondary Career Alliance had its own defense array. There were many grandmasters in the alliance, so they sometimes attracted lightning calamities when making dans or weapons. The alliance building wouldn’t be able to withstand the damages by the lightning if they didn’t have some protective measures.

Also, the martial arts cultivation of alchemists and blacksmiths was normally quite low. Asking them to resist the lightning calamity alone was like sending them to their deaths. Thus, they had to rely on the defense array.

The staff in the alliance went to prepare the array.

By now, Wang Teng had already reached the first bolt of lightning. A dazzling Force glow surrounded his body as he soared into the sky like a small sun.

Then, he released a punch into the sky.

Fourth-level Strength of Ultima!

A huge fist aura smashed into the three bolts of lightning.

Boom!

Instantly, a giant explosion reverberated in the sky. Tiny sparks of silver lightning flashed at the point of collision like thin silver snakes scattering across the sky. It was a chilling scene.

But the three bolts of lightning didn’t disperse. They threw the fist aura away and started coming at Wang Teng even more ferociously.

“Again!”

A sharp glint flashed across Wang Teng’s eyes. He released more punches, unafraid of the lightning. Within a few breaths, he had already thrown out more than ten punches.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Violent Force erupted from the punches.

The three bolts of lightning paused in mid-air. They could no longer move another inch. Under the onslaught of the punches, they exploded and turned into sparks in the sky.

Wang Teng bathed in the twinkling lights and activated his Leiting Physique silently to strengthen his body. This background made him look like the God of Lightning.

The people below were in awe.

Is this a grandmaster alchemist?

Didn’t they say that alchemists are all weaklings?

Why is this grandmaster… so powerful?

Grandmaster Hua Yuan and the others were dumbstruck. They couldn’t accept this reality. Their perspective of the world broke into pieces.

“Grandmaster Hua Yuan, erm, do we still need to activate the defense array?” the staff asked absentmindedly.

“Not for now.” Grandmaster Hua Yuan regained his composure and waved his hands with a weird expression.

Does he need the array?

With the ability he displayed, he could probably handle this lightning calamity alone!

This was unexpected!

“Grandmaster Wang Teng’s martial arts cultivation is quite high too!” Ji Yuanqing muttered.

The corners of Grandmaster Kirton’s lips were trembling. He dared to fight the lightning calamity head-on. His cultivation wasn’t just quite high; it was very high!

He mustn’t offend this powerful person!

Grandmaster Alfred took a deep breath and glared at Fan Taining behind him. He was angry that Fan Taining didn’t introduce Wang Teng properly. If he knew that the other party was so strong, he wouldn’t have treated him impolitely.

Fan Taining felt wronged. He knew that Wang Teng was powerful, but he didn’t know he was already at this stage.

That was a lightning calamity! Not everyone could punch it away!

Normal people would never be able to do it!

…

Boom!

After the first lightning bolt was destroyed, the dark and dense clouds in the sky started tossing and turning again. They seemed to be preparing another more powerful bolt.

Crack!

Suddenly, an ear-piercing explosion echoed through the air. The dark clouds seemed to have been torn into two. Three bolts of lightning, twice as thick as before, shot down from the crack and charged toward the three dans like silver lightning dragons.

However, Wang Teng was standing in the middle, so they appeared to be charging at him.

Wang Teng’s actions were simple. Even though the bolts of lightning were stronger than before, he remained composed. He stared at the sky with the silver-white lightning reflecting in his eyes. Then, he released his fist again.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

There was no difference in his attack. The same terrifying fist aura surged toward the bolts of lightning. If one punch wasn’t enough, he would give two. If two weren’t enough, he would give three punches…

The power of heaven and earth? I’ll destroy you just like any other opponent!

This time, Wang Teng released more than 20 punches before the bolts of lightning collapsed. The scene might be the same, but the bewilderment in the people’s hearts got stronger.

Fierce!

He was extremely fierce!

An alchemist used his fist to overcome the lightning calamity.

This might be the most astonishing scene the grandmasters ever saw in their lives. It overturned their perspective of the world.

An alchemist could be this powerful?

Many alchemists who just entered the field seemed to be enlightened by Wang Teng’s actions. Their eyes were glistening.

Boom!

Heaven seemed exceptionally angry after Wang Teng destroyed two of its lightning calamities. Dark clouds surged and churned as numerous bolts of silver lightning flashed through the sky. They slithered through the clouds like giant silver pythons. Looking at them was enough to give one goosebumps.

Boom!

The third lightning calamity took a longer time to prepare. Finally, it shot down.

Three bolts of lightning formed three terrifying giant lightning dragons. They bellowed furiously. Their body was three times thicker than the second bolt of lightning. Intertwining around one another, they streaked down.

This time, the three bolts of lightning combined into one. The power more than tripled.

The frightening pressure caused everyone to go pale. Many took a step back in fear and started scurrying away. They didn’t dare to get any closer as they were afraid of getting injured by the lightning.

Grandmaster Hua Yuan clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles cracking. He was nervous, and his gaze was filled with worry. He was afraid that Wang Teng would get killed by this lightning calamity.

But since Wang Teng didn’t say anything, he couldn’t exceed his authority. He could only pray that he would be able to withstand the third lightning strike.

The Nine Essence Soul Congealing Pill was a third-rank dan, so there were three strikes of lightning. This was the last strike. Once he overcame this, the Nine Essence Soul Congealing Pill would be completed.

Wang Teng squinted, but he wasn’t afraid. A terrifying aura erupted from his body.

Boom!

Ancient God’s Body!

A golden mark appeared on his forehead. Blood churned in his body, and a formidable strength swept through him. Then, Wang Teng released his fist again.

Fourth-level Strength of Ultima!

An indomitable fist aura exploded, along with a powerful Force.

Boom!

The fist aura crashed into the lightning dragon, triggering an earth-shattering explosion. Impact waves swept throughout the city.

Bang!

In the next instant, the lightning dragon scattered into numerous sparks. They shimmered in the sky before they got swept into the thick and dark clouds by the residual force of the punch.

A large hole appeared in the dense dark clouds, with sunlight shining in through it.

This was a straightforward punch.

The audience was too shocked to speak.

Silence!

There was dead silence.

No one could describe their emotions at the moment. They were a complicated mess.

Wang Teng put down his hands. The golden mark on his forehead had disappeared. The people below didn’t even notice its momentary appearance.

Reality proved that some matters could be solved with a single punch!

If it couldn’t, it meant that the punch wasn’t powerful enough.

The dark clouds in the sky seemed to have lost all their strength. They dispersed gradually. The countless silver lightning disappeared too. No thunder could be heard anymore.

The lightning calamity came and went quickly. It was gone in the blink of an eye.

The beam of light below gradually dispersed too. Only the three longan-sized purple dans floated in mid-air, giving off a purple and mystical glow.

At the same time, a thick fragrance spread throughout the alliance.

“It smells so good!”

“What pill is this? The dan fragrance is so strong!”

“This fragrance isn’t just about the type of dan. Its quality must be high too!”

…

Everyone finally woke up from their stupor when they smelled the fragrance. They stared curiously at the purple dans in the sky.

However, Wang Teng didn’t give them the chance to observe longer. He waved his hand and pulled the three dans over with his spiritual power. Then, he kept them in a jade bottle.

This jade bottle was especially for storing dans. It could ensure its efficacy.

He moved and disappeared from everyone’s vision.

Once the main character of the show disappeared, the audience dispersed too. However, they were still excitedly discussing what they saw just now. This piece of news spread quickly.

Many people wondered who Wang Teng was. Many families sent their men to investigate this new grandmaster alchemist.

From the commotion he had created, this grandmaster’s alchemy mastery must be high.

He made three dans at once, and all of them were of high quality. Normal grandmaster alchemists weren’t capable of this feat.

Wang Teng knew that he had caused an uproar in the city. Thus, after he kept the dans, he left to prevent meeting any formidable warriors who came to look for the instigator. He didn’t want them to find out his background.

In the Secondary Career Alliance, Grandmaster Hua Yuan and the others had returned to the assessment room. They met up with Wang Teng.

They were all extremely excited as they walked over.

“Grandmaster Wang Teng, how can you fight the lightning calamity alone? You almost scared me to death,” Grandmaster Hua Yuan complained.

“As a grandmaster alchemist, isn’t it normal to bear the lightning calamity alone?” Wang Teng asked him back.

Everyone was in a daze after they heard his reply. They were dumbfounded.
