Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Chapter 324: Top 32 - End

His opponent also tried attacking as much as he could, but Wan Li was overwhelming him.

A barrier appeared around his opponent in a sphere as he blocked one of Wan Li\'s attacks. The man placed his palms on the ground and suddenly spikes appeared from inside of it.

Wan Li placed his right foot in front of him and caused a fissure ahead that stopped the man\'s spikes from moving forward.

He then proceeded to start throwing more and more red slashes towards his opponent. Finally, the opponent caved into the pressure and gave up.

Wan Li won the match.

The next battle was between a girl in the 2nd Mind Tempering realm and a man in the 3rd Mind Tempering realm. Everyone surprisingly expected the girl to win in this case since she was from the Cloud Valley sect and had monsters with her that were stronger than herself.

However, the man from the Honor sect surprised everyone by using attacks imbued with Spear\'s intent. Another one of the Weapon intent users was forced to show himself.

His attacks were much stronger than the attacks of a normal spear user and thus the girl\'s beasts couldn\'t fight him at all. In the end, the referee had to step in and block some of the flying spear attacks to save the girl.

The last match was between Group C was between a disciple from a lower known sect with 2nd Mind Tempering realm and a disciple of the Royal Fu Academy with 6th Mind Tempering realm cultivation base.

It was obvious who would win. Thus, the battles of Group C came to an end as well.

For the first match of Group D, a disciple of the Thousand Hand sect fought with a disciple of the True Wisdom sect. The disciple of the True Wisdom sect was forced to show his Sword intent even though it wasn\'t properly established.

Thus, he wasn\'t as powerful as the other ones who had an established Weapon intent and unfortunately lost.

The next battle was between a disciple from a not-so-well-known sect called the Hunting Master\'s sect and a disciple of the Golden Eagle sect.

The man from the Hunting Master\'s sect was surprisingly very strong. He was in the 4th Mind Tempering realm and his opponent was a girl in the 3rd Mind Tempering realm.

However, knowledge and heritage could not be beaten so easily. The girl from the Golden Eagle sect revealed her Saber Intent and after a fierce back and forth with the man, won the fight.

The next battle was a very interesting one. It was between two beast tamers. One was a man in the 3rd Mind Tempering realm from the Cloud Valley sect, and another was in the 2nd Mind Tempering realm from the Myriad Beast sect.

However, their cultivation base would have nothing to do with the battle. The man from the Cloud Valley sect brought out two monsters, a brown bear-sized wolf, and an Ox with 3 horns.

The man from Myriad beast also brought out two monsters, one was a massive black boar, while the other one was a red-feathered Crow-like bird.

Their match was probably the most fun to watch as it was a 3v3. The audience never knew who was going to get the upper hand.

In the end, the disciple from Cloud Valley couldn\'t handle the aerial attacks and thus succumbed to defeat. Thus, the Myriad Sect disciple moved on to the next round.

Finally, the Lesser Immortal sect\'s disciple was truly unfortunate. There was no way he was going to win a fight against Chu Xiang, the strongest participant of the Top 32.

As such, the Top 32\'s fights came to a close as well.

Once the fights were done, the competition holders started changing the stage.

Suddenly, a large opaque barrier appeared around the stage and Fu Zhen\'s voice sounded from inside of it.

"Please bear with us while we prepare the stage for the next competition."

Alex stood up and said, "I will return later after my match." He then walked to the Hong Wu sect\'s seating area and sat next to his master.

"Mingming, good luck on your match. Go beat them a-- wait, it\'s not a fighting match. It\'s a Maze Run so… yes, Beat them all still makes sense. Hehe," Fan Ruogang said from the side.

"Sure, Sister Fan, I will do my best," Alex said.

"Are you truly prepared?" Ma Rong asked.

"Yes Master," Alex spoke with confidence in his voice.

"What are you prepared to do to win?" She asked.

Alex thought for a moment and said," Anything."

"Good, but you can\'t just do anything," Ma Rong said as she looked towards the northern end of the coliseum. "Unfortunately, there will be some things you will have to hide."

Alex knew exactly what she meant. "I know master, I will try my best to win without those techniques," he said.

"Good. When you went to the Tiger sect, I told you to hide your abilities because you were too weak back then to show off your skills. To be honest, you are still too weak, but you have come far enough that not everyone will be a problem to you."

"So, go ahead and do whatever you want and whatever you can. I am lifting the restrictions. No need to hide anything," Ma Rong said.

Alex felt himself get lighter as if something had been lifted from his shoulders. He smiled and said, "Yes, master."

"Participants for the Maze Run. Please gather in the waiting room," Fu Zhen\'s voice appeared from inside the opaque barrier.

"I\'m going now," Alex said and left towards the waiting area all alone.
