Path of Alchemy Mastery-Chapter 333 - 233 Duel Arena Opens

Mu Can actually didn’t have any special intelligence, he just felt that the man with the mutton chops was somewhat mysterious earlier and wanted Wang Cai’s help to guess the origin of the mutton chops. Mu Can also felt uncomfortable about it and even regretted his earlier actions a bit, wondering if the man with the mutton chops would use his blood to do something disgraceful.

Mu Can had heard before that someone had used a drop of blood or a strand of hair to harm others discreetly. However, what gave Mu Can some peace of mind was that he had completely severed his connection with that drop of blood.

"Alright, stop wagging your tail, I don’t have much intelligence," Mu Can said to Wang Cai, who was showing a flattering smile.

Then he told Wang Cai about his earlier experience. In Mu Can’s heart, he was certain that something was off about the man with the mutton chops, but why he disappeared in the end was something that puzzled Mu Can.

"Wang! This guy isn’t simple." Although Wang Cai also couldn’t figure out the causes and consequences, he felt the same as Mu Can that the man with the mutton chops wasn’t a simple character, especially considering what he knew about the secrets within Tongshen Mountain.

"Wang! I think there are two possibilities, the first being that the man with the mutton chops has a powerful mentor in the outside world, and his mentor either had passed the final test of Tongshen Mountain or had met someone who had passed it, otherwise it’s impossible to know the information about Tongshen Mountain."

"Damn, that kid tricked me out of a drop of blood." Mu Can was still indignant about this incident, trusting him so much yet the mutton-chopped man just disappeared without a trace, leaving no clue if he took Mu Can’s blood, or disappeared for some other reason.

"Be careful, recently safeguard yourself with the Reincarnation Pearl, in the Supreme Interface there was once a blood curse technique, the casting medium is blood. Even this curse technique, when practiced to the highest stage, can even harm the warriors of the All Things Realm, no one knows the origin of this curse technique, but with the Reincarnation Pearl safeguarding, you should be able to shield the heavenly secrets," Wang Cai admonished meticulously and also gave Mu Can a deep ideological education on his naive trust in others.

Finally, after getting a promise from Mu Can that he would not act recklessly in the future, Wang Cai was satisfied.

Mu Can indeed felt a lingering fear in his heart; if what Wang Cai said was true and they encountered villains, it would be easy for them to be schemed against.

During Mu Can and Wang Cai’s conversation, more and more cultivators had come to the stands, and the followers of the Wangcai Divine Sect also saw Wang Cai and rushed over to his side. In a short while, dozens of people had gathered around him.

"The number of participants meets the conditions, the Duel Arena is now open, and the rules of the Duel Arena are as follows."

"Pairs of two, based on the same Transmission Array team enter the Duel Arena, opponents are then randomly assigned, the last winners move to the next round. The Duel Arena will select the top ten teams to advance, so fight for a stronger you."

This made Mu Can realize why he had encountered the fork in the road before; it turned out that’s how the partners were assigned.

However, even though he understood the reason, Mu Can’s doubts did not diminish. The method of team assignment seemed quite unfair indeed, as the gap in strength among all participants was huge. Taking Mu Can as an example, with his current strength, he could easily overwhelm everyone in Wangcai Divine Sect except Wang Cai. Even Wang Cai, being the Artifact Spirit of the Reincarnation Pearl, was no match for Mu Can.

This is the difference in power between a Martial Saint and a Martial Arts Sect, not an exaggeration to describe it as a chasm.

Even among Martial Saints, with Mu Can’s Intermediate Martial Saint strength, overpowering a drunkard was also as easy as picking up a treasure and letting Wang Cai pick it up.

"It’s not fair. Some people are so strong, how can we fight?"

Sure enough, just as the rules were announced, someone immediately started shouting loudly.

His words spurred the emotions of others, and they began to voice their support, Mu Can noticed, almost all of them were at the Martial Sect Level, most basic level Martial Sect participants joined in, they had no choice, these people were indeed the weakest here, once the duel really started, these people were definitely the first to be eliminated, and if the rules of the Duel Arena were really followed, these people could also face danger.

But no matter how much these people made noise, the mysterious voice did not sound again, as if ignoring these people completely.

Even the followers of the Wangcai Divine Sect were also filled with panic, no one wanted to come here and return empty-handed, but if they really faced a powerful enemy and had no capability to fight, they would then feel utterly despairing.

This is human nature, and even the strongest people are no exception, when facing opponents weaker than themselves, they are relatively relaxed in their hearts, when facing opponents of the same strength, they start to take it seriously, when facing opponents slightly stronger than themselves, they fight very cautiously, but once faced with an existence that can crush them, except for a few with extremely strong mental will, the rest can hardly muster the will to resist.

"Don’t worry, Tongshen Mountain won’t arrange a hopeless task." Wang Cai spoke up, after spending so much time in Tongshen Mountain, Wang Cai had learned a lot about it. frёeωebɳovel.com

In his eyes, Tongshen Mountain was like the Inheritance Land of various powers in the Supreme Interface, existing solely to convey the right Cultivation Technique to their disciples and thus enhance the strength of their Sect, so he had never heard of any casualties occurring while obtaining the inheritance within their own Sect.

And Tongshen Mountain was even more like the Inheritance Land of the entire Mortal World, facing the cultivators of the entire Mortal World, regardless of their level of cultivation, as long as they could pass the test, they could obtain the suitable Cultivation Technique, so in Wang Cai’s view, the rules of Tongshen Mountain must be reasonable, at least relatively so, there couldn’t be any situation where one must die or lose, if that were the case, why not just choose a few cultivators who are top-ranked in strength, and directly give the Cultivation Techniques to them to save trouble.

Hearing Wang Cai’s words, the people of Wangcai Divine Sect gradually calmed down, after all, Wang Cai had already established his own credibility.
