I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head

1923 The Conspiracy of the Two Great Prodigies

No prodigy who could cultivate to their level would feel that their strength and talent were inferior to another person, even against Li Qianyuan, who had been firmly occupying the top position for a long time. In the Sea Prince’s opinion, it was nothing. He had absolute confidence in himself and was not afraid of Li Qianyuan.

After all, they had never fought before, and the ranking released by the Mysteries Pavilion was based on strength. However, in a battle, when the difference in strength was not large, any possibility could happen.

According to the calculation of the Mysteries Pavilion, the Sea Prince was not as strong as Li Qianyuan. However, his real strength was not only on paper. Even the Mysteries Pavilion couldn’t know everything. Otherwise, he would have been the top scorer long ago.

“Li Qianyuan, do you think you can defeat me?” The Sea Prince looked at Li Qianyuan in a challenging manner. “This is my territory. Although you’re a dragon crossing the river, in my territory, you have to coil up. If you are a tiger, you have to lie down.”

“You’re courting death!” Li Qianyuan spat.

The Sea Prince was very confident, but Li Qianyuan was even more confident. He had been at the top for a long time, so it was naturally impossible for others to surpass him.

“Since you want to die, I’ll send you on your way. It’s your biggest mistake not to have your protector follow you in to this cave today. From now on, your name will be removed from the Prodigy List!” Li Qianyuan thundered.

His expression was extremely cold. For others, the death of the Sea Prince would undoubtedly cause a great uproar. All the marine folks would be shocked. This was the best seedling of the next generation of the marine folks. However, he wasn’t afraid of the marine folks’ revenge. As Grand Xia’s Marquis Huntian, he was already enemies with the marine folks.

The more ruthless he killed, the easier it was for him to be promoted.

“Hahaha! Li Qianyuan, you’re too confident. My protector didn’t come in, and neither did yours. We’re the same. If you can beat me today, everything will be yours. If you can’t beat, I’ll chop off the head of Grand Xia’s Marquis Huntian and let everyone know my dignity.” The Sea Prince laughed. He knew that the protectors of both sides were not here. To be precise, they were both held back by each other.

“Today, I want the inheritance of Ocean Overlord!” The Sea Prince laughed.

Li Qianyuan’s protector and the Sea Prince’s protector were confronting each other outside. They were the real top masters. However, in a short time, there was no way to determine the victor.

“My protector? I don’t need them to kill you.” Li Qianyuan snorted coldly.

In an instant, Li Qianyuan attacked. The spear in his hand rose like a pillar, and it instantly swept toward the Sea Prince with lightning speed.

The Sea Prince was not to be outdone. He stomped his foot and endless seawater surged up from the bottom of his feet. It formed a monstrous wave, which set him off like a high and mighty god of the sea. He held a trident in his hand and clashed with Li Qianyuan, who was holding a spear.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The two top experts of the younger generation unleashed their most dazzling attacks. Spear shadows and trident lights collided in the void, tearing everything apart.

Both sides were not worried that this place would be smashed into pieces. They had clearly already tested it before. The space here was a little more stable than the outside. There were also layers of barriers protecting it. It would not collapse because of the two’s attacks.

‘Third level of the Creation Stage!’

Chu Yunfan watched the fight between the two. There was no doubt that both of them had reached the third level of the Creation Stage. However, the difference was that in his opinion, Li Qianyuan had already reached the peak and was only half a step away from the fourth level. The Sea Prince on the other hand had just reached the third level not long ago and had only just stabilized his foundation.

Even so, this was shocking. Not long ago, in the updated information on the Prodigy List, it was recorded that Li Qianyuan had only entered the second Creation Stage. At that time, he had already stunned his peers. Now, he had already reached the peak third level. It seemed like it was only a matter of time before he reached the fourth level of the Creation Stage.

Although the Sea Prince’s progress was slightly slower than Li Qianyuan’s, he was still in the same stage. Therefore, he was only slightly inferior to Li Qianyuan. This did not mean that the Sea Prince was not Li Qianyuan’s opponent. Although one’s stage was an important part of combat power, it wasn’t everything.

Although Chu Yunfan had long known that these top prodigies had the support of a great force, they could easily obtain all kinds of resources that others could not even obtain. Therefore, once they broke through a major stage, their cultivation would often advance by leaps and bounds.

If one’s talents were exhausted and they reached the peak of the world, their strength would not be able to advance by leaps and bounds. They could only increase it by grinding. Everyone had their limit, but everyone’s limit was different. Clearly, the top talents like Li Qianyuan and the Sea Prince were completely different from ordinary people.

‘No, something’s off about Li Qianyuan. His strength is enough to suppress the Sea Prince, but now he looks like he is fighting to a draw,’ Chu Yunfan ascertained.

The Sea Prince was not aware of this though. The more he fought, the more excited he became. He felt that he could finally prove that his combat strength was not inferior to Li Qianyuan’s. He was the number one expert of the younger generation, not just the number one in the Eastern Sea. In his opinion, all of this was naturally a matter of course.

However, Li Qianyuan’s actions could not escape Chu Yunfan’s perception. He could easily sense that Li Qianyuan was not using his full strength.

At this time, suddenly, another figure appeared in the air. It was Li Qianyuan who had been hiding in the void and did not really make a move. At the critical moment, when the first Li Qianyuan was holding the Sea Prince back, the second Li Qianyuan strode forward and appeared in front of the floating ancient book. Then, he reached out and put the book into his pocket.

“What? Li Qianyuan! How dare you trick me!” The Sea Prince immediately saw this.

How could he not understand that the attack earlier was just Li Qianyuan’s deliberate performance, making him think that Li Qianyuan had no spare power to seize the ancient book. Who knew that Li Qianyuan would take the ancient book away in the blink of an eye?
