Chapter 532 - Making A Legendary Pill
The entire place ushered under dead silence while each tower emanated a fog from its top. The fog coalesced together and finally gave up a number and a name.
"Wow, we won," Agnus was speechless there for a moment before glancing at the place where his spear was taking just now, "I thought I would be the one to bring win to us."
Arthur turned to him and smiled. "Don't be so heartbroken, you did brilliantly out there. But don't forget I'm still your master."
Agnus laughed with him while shaking off his head. The other team glared in fiery eyes while one of them moved to the front all of sudden. He bowed to the towers before saying:
"Venerable masters, I ask for your guidance to show us the difference in items we made."
The entire area glanced at him while that cloaked man stood there without straightening up his back until the portals shook violently and the next second two items appeared there.
It was Arthur's arrow and the other was a huge sword that youth made. Arthur calmly glanced at this scene amusingly and said nothing. He was sure of the reason behind his win.
"Lord, they are objecting," Agnus whispered in stress.
"Watch and know why I was the one to win."
The next moment fog dissipated from two towers, one formed a shape of a giant hand that held the sword with much ease.
Then it waved it.
A phoenix shadow appeared all of sudden from the tip of the sword, spreading its wings and heading towards Arthur's arrow.
Yet the other fog took the form of a bow and held the arrow before simply releasing it.
"Rumble!"
The moment the two hit each other the world rumbled and a bright light appeared there like it was the end of the world.
"The devastational arrows of lord…" Agnus muttered in shock, "it's my first time seeing it in flesh after hearing all these marvelous legends about it."
Arthur smiled and said nothing while watching the sudden appearance of fog from a third tower to help shield the entire blast with the other two towers' fogs.
What was going inside was shown clearly for everyone down there. The arrow of Arthur explodes to form a gigantic image of a dragon mixed with a bronzed giant pillar where it devoured the weaker image of the phoenix with so much ease and then kept raging havoc there for long minutes.
"You got your answer," the master leading the judge team here on the arena said when everything finally settled. "This is the last warning for your team, no team shall question the wisdom of the venerable masters."
The youth bowed again to express his sorrow before turning around and gave Arthur a long glance. "Impressive," Agnus muttered, "that sword just now had given me more insights."
"Then make sure to go back and train more," Arthur muttered, "this competition is filled with crouching tigers."
"And a dragon," Agnus laughed while pointing at him, attracting the attention of the judges nearby.
"Both teams withdraw now and please send your representatives for the pill and potion making," the lead master said.
"Go back and send Longman to me," Arthur said while standing in his place motionless watching everyone else moving away.
"What's wrong kid? Intoxicated with your current victory to forget to step down?" one of the masters sneered while pointing at him while others laughed.
"No, I'm here to compete," Arthur politely responded, and his calm answer just startled the masters.
"What do you mean?" the lead master vigilantly asked.
"I'll compete in the next competition as well."
They glanced at each other before sighing. Arthur didn't need their pity or advice, he knew what he was doing.
"Let the best pill and potion win," the lead master said when the two teams were assembled here. He didn't ask again like the first time about the short in Arthur's team.
After all this short team just beat the full number opponent team.
"What do you want me to make, lord?" Longman seemed quite nervous standing on this stage and facing such a crowd. He was one of the two who came from the castle of the sky, never tested life yet.
"Make your best creation," Arthur said before adding, "don't worry too much, I got your back here."
Longman nodded as he just saw what Arthur pulled at the last second there. Arthur watched the ongoing competition without moving a finger.
"Again?" he noticed the aura one of the contesters used in making his pill or potion. "Sigh, they never learn their lessons, right?" he waved his hand and the next instant his cauldron appeared again.
The moment this happened, every single person in the area glanced over him to see what he was trying to do.
"Let's go slightly off charts here," he muttered before asking, 'Gege, can I use your pearl in this?'
'Sure, but it's better not to consume it too much. You still have to fight ahead.'
'Ding! Two actually.'
'Don't you two worry,' Arthur smiled, 'I'll only do a pill from my old life. Gege you can read my mind, I'll picture the items and you try to grab things similar to it.'
He suddenly closed his eyes and contemplated there motionless. His stance was weird yet no one even thought of mocking him.
They saw what this little leader of this team could do, and they only watched and waited to see the result.
"Let's do it," Arthur then opened his eyes before the next moment he lit up the fire under the cauldron using a nearby torch and then he kept waving his hands for many materials to fall inside.
Sometimes he took some materials and smashed them together, other times he would squeeze the fruit and even seeds to get the core juice from them.
But most of the items were thrown into the cauldron without consideration to the time.. This move seemed strange to everyone, but what he did next startled the entire audience here.
