Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy
chapter-339

Luo Mei stood up and said, "I will see you guys after I win it all," and left. Du Yuhan and Yang Ma stood up and followed her as well.

Tiger sect was the only sect with 3 participants in the top 16 aside from Royal Fu Academy who had all 4 in there.

Alex and the rest wished them 'Good Luck!', but given how serious they were right now, nobody replied anything.

Alex looked down on the stage and saw the perfect stage already ready for them to fight in. The maze had disappeared as if it never existed and the formation that messed with the space inside the stage was turned off.

So now the stage was the same size as it always was. Fu Zhen walked up to the stage and announced out loud.

"Fellow Daoists and everyone, welcome to the Top 16 of the Singles Battle. Here are our remaining contestants," he said and showed a massive screen with the names of the 16 participants and their sect as well as their cultivation base.

Royal Fu Academy beat all of the other contestants in everything from Cultivation base to a number of participants.

The first match was between Luo Mei and the crocodile beast tamer girl from the Myriad Beasts sect.

Luo Mei walked onto the stage with no worries at all as her opponent was in the 2nd Mind Tempering realm. The moment the girl appeared on the stage, her forehead lit up and the crocodile appeared on the stage.

It also had the same cultivation base as the girl but it had a much better physical defense too.

"Begin!" the referee announced.

Luo Mei didn't attack with her sword, instead, she created a large ball of water on her left hand and threw it directly at the crocodile. She was testing waters to start off the match with.

The ball landed on the crocodile, yet it did nothing. As expected of a reptile that could live both on land and water. It probably had both elements.

Luo Mei decided to get serious. She immediately swung her sword and sent a blue slash flying towards the opponent. The Crocodile moved on its own and blocked the attack.

The slash hurt it a bit but did not manage to penetrate the skin.

'Is the beast's skin that strong? Probably not. It's most likely using a technique,' Luo Mei thought and started spamming her attacks.

One after another, her attacks landed on the crocodile, and with each attack, it took more damage. Luo Mei was about to make another attack, but she instead pushed herself back to the end of the stage.

BANG

A massive sound rang out from where she had just been standing on. When the dust settled, a giant green frog showed itself.

This was another beast of her that the opponent had been hiding all this time.

Luo Mei frowned. Not only was her another beast a water element using beast, but it was also in the 3rd Mind Tempering realm. It was stronger than its master.

She frowned. There were too many targets for her to fight and they were all in some ways immune to her water attacks. However, instead of reducing the water element in her attacks, she decided to increase it.

Luo Mei kept in her sword and put her hands forward. Suddenly, water sprouted out of her hands and filled the stage. She kept pumping until the water was about 2 meters tall and had swallowed everything.

The frog, crocodile, and the girl tried to swing in it and rose to the surface. Just then, Luo Mei moved her arms, and out of nowhere, 3 vortexes formed on the surface of the water.

These vortexes were so strong that the girl or her beast couldn't move at all. The vortex that had the girl started moving. The girl tried to stop it, but Luo Mei's control of it was much higher than her strength to destroy it.

Finally, she appeared right in front of Luo Mei who took out her sword again and placed it on her neck.

"I give up!" the girl immediately screamed. Luo Mei nodded and kept her sword back before leaving the stage. The 2-meter high flood finally stopped and all the water fell to the side of the stage.

The girl and her beasts were left there trying to catch their breath when they heard the referee announce the result.

The next match was between the Lesser Immortal sect's elemental user and the Black Fu Academy's 5th Mind Tempering realm cultivator.

His opponent was 2 realms lower than him but had managed to make his way up here. So, to win against him without wasting a lot of time, the Royal Fu Academy's disciple decided to reveal sword intent as well.

With that, he easily won against his opponent.

The next match was between Du Yuhan who was at the 3rd Mind Tempering realm and his opponent who was also at the 3rd Mind tempering realm, but in addition to that also had 3 puppets of the same strength.

Du Yuhan stood at one corner of the stage, while his opponent on the other end of the stage took out the 3 puppets. It was going to be a 4 v 1 fight.

"He should be fine as long as he can reach the puppetmaster as soon as he can, right?" Ning asked.

"Yes, but this is going to be hard. The Thousand Hand sect's disciple has 3 puppets of which one acts like an attacker, another a defender, and the final one that could change into any when it is required to be one. So, it's a very hard combination to fight against," Wen Cheng replied.

Du Yuhan grabbed his sword by the handle and the scabbard with his other hand. His eyes darted left and right as he imagined what puppet to attack first. He took a deep breath and exhaled.

Seeing that both sides were ready, the referee wasted no more time and screamed at the top of his lungs, "Begin".
