The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Chapter 706: Chapter 706: The Test That Cannot Be Spoken Out

The figure stepping out from the Golden Avenue was none other than Zhou Yishui!

Zhou Yishui’s face showed signs of fatigue, but his eyes were bright and spirited. After he emerged, he didn’t reveal much surprise upon seeing the crowd in the hall.

“So, all of you are here too,” Zhou Yishui remarked quite calmly, but there was a fleeting coldness in his eyes.

“Zhou Yishui, what in the world are you doing here?” Wang Erdan leaped up in surprise.

Zhou Yishui grinned slightly, “Unlike you guys, I scoured all around to get to this location to willingly face the test.”

Observing Zhou Yishui, Mei Yingxue asked, “Why would you willingly come to take the test here? Aren’t you worried about being unable to leave?”

Zhou Yishui shook his head, “As long as I pass the test, I can naturally leave.”

His words, though simple, revealed his tremendous confidence. He was not the slightest bit worried about the trials of the Supreme Saint Hall.

Dugu Ruoxu snorted, “Since we are also here, do you think you can proceed with the test without any trouble?”

Zhou Yishui shrugged, “We can’t fight in the Supreme Saint Hall, or it would provocative to the dignity of the Supreme Saint Hall.”

At the same time, a cold voice echoed, “No private fights are allowed within the hall, violators will be eliminated instantly.”

Hearing these words, everyone was a little shaken, but Fang Lin breathed a sigh of relief. He was injured, and in a bad state. If he had to fight Zhou Yishui now, he was afraid he would be at a significant disadvantage.

At this moment, Zhou Yishui looked at Fang Lin, a cynical smile playing at the corners of his mouth, “What happened to you? Judging by the looks of you, it seems you’ve been through a life-or-death battle.”

Fang Lin didn’t even spare Zhou Yishui a glance, he continued healing his wounds and replied sarcastically, “As the dignified Crown Prince of Xuan Country, you colluded with the bottom feeders of the Hidden Kill Hall. First, it was Dream Falling Flower, and now it’s Gu Hanshan… I wonder who’s next?”

Zhou Yishui scoffed, “I’m just using Hidden Kill Hall to get rid of you. Unfortunately, those people are utterly useless for letting you live until now. But don’t worry, you will eventually die in my hands.”

Fang Lin glanced at him and replied dismissively, “Think you can beat me?”

A hint of annoyance flashed in Zhou Yishui’s eyes. His last fight with Fang Lin was earth-shattering, but he ended up at a disadvantage. If it hadn’t been for Gu Hanshan’s arrival and the chaos in Hundred Beast Mountain, Zhou Yishui might have tasted defeat.

Reluctantly, it was indeed true that Zhou Yishui had retreated in disarray during their previous battle.

“Humph! Enjoy your moment of triumph for now. Once I pass the test in the Supreme Saint Hall, you won’t have even stepped out of here,” Zhou Yishui said coldly.

Fang Lin gave a smug chuckle but didn’t say anything more. He continued to heal his wounds. Once he was fully recovered, he would naturally take this so-called test in the Supreme Saint Hall.

Zhou Yishui glanced over at Dugu Nian, a faint smile playing at the corners of his mouth, he suddenly asked, “Senior, when I get through the test, can I take this girl with me in exchange for the Supreme Chart?”

“You may,” responded the cold voice.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to Dugu Nian and then at Zhou Yishui.

Dugu Nian’s face showed a bit of displeasure, “I won’t go with you.”

“You don’t have a choice,” Zhou Yishui retorted coldly with a firm tone.

Dugu Nian turned white with anger. She glanced at Fang Lin, but he was immersed in his healing and seemed to have no reaction.

Zhou Yishui laughed, and then he once again stepped into the Golden Avenue.

“The hell! It’s just a test, right? I’ll go first and pave the way for you guys!” Wang Erdan jumped up and claimed.

“Don’t be hasty,” advised Mei Yingxue, not wanting Wang Erdan to risk his life recklessly.

However, Wang Erdan paid no heed to her. He shouted a salute and rushed into the Golden Avenue, his figure disappearing instantly.

After about four hours, Wang Erdan reappeared, looking somewhat embarrassed and grim.

“Damn it! This test is too cruel. It’s pure torture!” as soon as Wang Erdan appeared, he began to curse.

“Er Dan, what exactly is the test?” Everyone immediately surrounded him, asking for details. They would have to face the test soon and needed to understand the enemy to prepare.

But Wang Erdan was evasive and wouldn’t reveal the details of the test.

“Anyone who has completed the test cannot reveal the content of the test, otherwise, they will be eliminated,” the cold voice echoed.

Hearing this, they instantly felt frustrated. They couldn’t do this and couldn’t do that, and now they didn’t even know what the test was. It was incredibly stifling!

Wang Erdan was also quite frustrated. He wanted to tell everyone about the test, but because of the rules of the Supreme Saint Hall, he couldn’t. If he did, not only would he die, but others would as well.

“You guys should go in and see for yourselves,” was all Wang Erdan could say in the end.

Dugu Ruoxu remained silent, rose, sword in hand, and walked into the Golden Avenue.

“I bet that guy will come out faster than me,” Wang Erdan grinned mischievously.

About two hours later, Dugu Ruoxu hadn’t come out yet, but Zhou Yishui emerged again. His face was pale as if he had just fought a big battle. After stepping out, he merely glanced at everyone, then found a quiet place to meditate.

Not long after, Dugu Ruoxu emerged, his face just as grim as Wang Erdan’s when he’d come out, and his sword was already unsheathed.

“How did it go?” Everyone immediately looked at him.

Dugu Ruoxu shook his head, saying nothing more.

“I’ll give it a try,” declared Mei Yingxue. And with that, she walked into the Golden Avenue.

“I advise you to give up. Even though I possess the Supreme Chart, I still find it challenging to complete the test in such a short time. Not to mention all of you,” Zhou Yishui commented indifferently. @@novelbin@@

“What’s this Supreme Chart?” Fang Lin asked, frowning.

Zhou Yishui kept a straight face, “The Supreme Chart, an ancient artifact passed down in my Imperial family, was created to unlock the Supreme Saint Hall one day.”

“Oh,” Fang Lin reacted, utterly indifferent.

Fang Lin knew something about the Supreme Saint Hall. Although he didn’t know what Zhou Yishui’s Supreme Chart was, he figured it must have been of great significance to the Supreme Saint Hall.

More than two hours later, Mei Yingxue reappeared, and there was a trace of fatigue on her fair face.

This time, Wang Erdan spent four hours in the Golden Avenue while Dugu Ruoxu and Mei Yingxue each spent less than four hours.

“It’s too hard,” said Mei Yingxue as she exited. She shook her head repeatedly.

Fang Lin frowned, asking the Old Dried Corpse in his heart, “Senior, is there a way for us to leave this Supreme Saint Hall?”
