Chapter 10 I Take the Field

  "This... did I see it wrong? He actually refined the Tempering Body Pill at just sixteen, this is simply too genius!" someone exclaimed in shock.

  "This Refining Body Dan looks better than what we usually eat, I didn't expect Shen Xiang to be so hidden and actually know the art of refining dan! With this potential, he's stronger than any top-grade spiritual vein." A man exclaimed.

  The people gathered in the square were all core members of the Shen family, and at this time they were all sighing with envy and admiration.

  Shen Haohai was shocked, but also heartbroken and furious. His face looked terrible because he had lost a thousand-year-old Blood Spirit Mushroom, which could have been sold for a lot of spiritual money at an auction.

  The elder of the Shen family's hands trembled slightly, his eyes wide with excitement as he stared at the snow-white dan pill in his palm, muttering to himself: "The Shen family finally has a dan-making master!"

  The Shen family finally has an alchemist! This simple sentence, however, caused the entire Shen family to erupt in excitement. It's worth noting that the Shen family had to spend a lot of money buying from others because they didn't have an alchemist. At the same time, they were often ridiculed by some powerful martial arts families.

  Now the Shen family has an alchemist, and a young one at that. It won't be long before he becomes a master alchemist!

  "Shen Haohai, I'll bet on it and admit defeat if I lose!" Shen Tiangou laughed.

  "Hmph!" Shen Haohai took out the large piece of Blood Red Lingzhi, his expression a mix of jealousy and heartache, and handed it to Shen Xiang.

  At this time, the people of the Shen family did not dare to underestimate Shen Xiang. After all, he was a Dan master and only sixteen years old! At this time, many girls from other families had already given Shen Xiang flirtatious glances.

  Many young girls in Shen's family looked at Shen Xiang with fiery eyes. Some boys were jealous to death.

  Shen Xiang turned a blind eye to all of this. He remembered that these people would always make sarcastic remarks whenever they saw him before.

  "Don't think that just because your son can refine pills, you can become the clan leader. To be a clan leader, one still needs to rely on real strength!" Shen Haohai said coldly.

  At this time, two middle-aged men who were competing with Shen Tianhu for the position of clan leader announced their withdrawal. They saw that Shen Xiang was able to refine a low-grade elixir at the age of 16 and had unlimited prospects in the future. Offending an alchemist is not a wise thing to do.

  Now there are only Shen Haohai and one more person competing with Shen Tianhu for the position of Patriarch.

  Shen Haohai said: "Shen Tiangou, as long as you can defeat us brothers, the position of clan leader will be yours!"

  Shen Tianhu narrowed his eyes and said, "Is this what you said?"

  "Come together or come one by one?"

  Shen Tianhu actually wants to fight Shen Haohai brothers alone, if he has this strength, it is indeed convincing.

  "Fight alone, or else you can't convince others." Shen Haohai said, and the people around him had already retreated.

  "Then let's get started, a quick battle and a swift decision."

  Everyone retreated in a flurry, and the power that erupted from the seven major battles of the Martial Realm was truly terrifying.

  After the crowd retreated to the edge of the square, Shen Tianhu and Shen Haohai both moved at the same time. The two men rushed forward with their fastest speed, and in an instant, their palms collided together. They were tightly attached, opposing each other's palm strength, competing in a contest of true energy.

  Shen Haohai's body was emitting a scorching aura, while Shen Tiangou's body remained still, but the muscles on his body bulged with sinister green veins, and the aura inside could be seen surging frantically.

  Two palms stuck together, staring at each other with a serious expression, and the entire square actually trembled slightly. The place where they stood was even more fragmented with many broken bricks, and a burst of violent airflow also blew in all directions, stirring up sand and dust.

  As Shen Tianhu let out a loud roar, the tremors suddenly disappeared, the strong winds stopped abruptly, and Shen Haohai flew backward, spitting out blood from his mouth. Shen Tianhu also retreated several steps back.

  Shen Haohai fell to the ground, he struggled to get up, it was clear that he had lost, but a hint of a triumphant smile appeared on his face.

  Shen Tiantu won this fight, but Shen Tiantu's face didn't look very good.

  Shen Haohai burst out laughing: "Although you won, but just now you didn't gain any advantage either! The second round of fighting you will definitely lose, and even if it's a sixth-order Mortal Martial Realm, they can defeat you." Amidst his laughter, he spat out a lot more blood, and it was clear that he had also suffered extremely severe internal injuries.

  "You've actually entered the Mortal Martial Realm's eighth layer!" Shen Tianhu said, one hand covering his abdomen. He hadn't expected that Shen Haohai had reached the eighth layer of the Mortal Martial Realm.

  "Aren't you the same?" Shen Haohai said with a cold smile.

  Shen Haohai and Shen Tiannu were both martial artists of the 8th rank of the Mortal Martial Realm, which shocked everyone. At this moment, everyone could see that Shen Tiannu had been severely injured by his opponent just now.

  Shen Tianhu still has another battle to fight, which is against Shen Haohai's younger brother!

  Shen Xiang hastily ran over and supported Shen Tianhu, who was almost falling down: "Father, how are you?" As he spoke, Shen Xiang placed his hand on Shen Tianhu's abdomen and poured pure wood-attribute true energy into his father's body.

  Feeling the surge of vigorous wood attribute true energy rushing in, Shen Tianhu's whole body shook, and he stared at Shen Xiang with a dumbfounded expression, but quickly recovered.

  "My internal injury is very severe, Shen Haohai will stop at nothing to make me relapse, don't waste your true energy!" Shen Tiangong was excited in his heart, because he felt that his son's true energy was extremely thick and powerful, far beyond his expectations.

  Shen Xiang heard Shen Tianhu's words and felt a great weight in his heart. His father still had one battle left, and if he lost, it would mean that the overall situation was already set.

  "It's the second round, don't waste time!" Shen Haohai said weakly, his face pale, although seriously injured, but he was very excited in his heart, and he was certain that Shen Tiannu would definitely not be able to beat his younger brother.

  Shen Xiang looked at Shen Haohai, a flash of sharp light in his eyes, and said: "I'll take the fight!"

  Shen Xiang was actually going to replace his father in battle, which shocked everyone again. They all knew that Shen Xiang didn't have a spiritual vein and wouldn't be very strong, but he could release the True Qi fire and control the flames to refine elixirs to make up for it, but it was absolutely not something that could be made up for in a short amount of time.

  But the person Shen Xiang is about to face is not an ordinary person, but a person with seven layers of strength in the Mortal Martial Realm. Many people think that Shen Xiang is helping his father keep the position of Patriarch and has made this stupid decision.

  Shen Tianhu was also surprised, but after seeing Shen Xiang's confident gaze, he considered whether to agree or not. Now that he was seriously injured, going into battle was out of the question, otherwise he would end up losing and getting even more severely hurt.

  A young man burst out laughing and said, "You think you can compete with your elders just because you don't have a spiritual vein? Although you can refine some low-grade spirit pills, in terms of strength, I can take care of you! I've already entered the fifth level of Mortal Martial Realm!"

  This young man is Shen Zhenhua, who had a conflict with Shen Xiang in Lingdan Pavilion before. He is the son of Shen Haohai.

  Shen Zhenhua is now at this age entering the fifth stage of Mortal Martial Realm, which is also a rare talent. He has such an arrogant air, which is also justified.

  "Shen Zhenhua, what if I win against you?" Shen Xiang said calmly, his tranquil expression not showing any signs of being mentally ill.
