Soul Emperor Martial God

Outside the Medicine Field.

A group of observing Alchemist elders, eyes shining bright.

"Golden Yuan Fruit, that's the Golden Yuan Fruit."

"Gleaming with golden light, this is a sign of maturity and readiness for harvesting."

As Alchemists, no one could remain indifferent to the allure of rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Of course, they could only look on with envy.

Only the competitors within the Medicine Field had the chance to compete for the Golden Yuan Fruits.

The Elder Mo by their side turned solemn, looking towards Elder Mu, he said in a deep voice, "Medicine King Valley, truly sparing no expense."

"Hehe," Elder Mu let out a light laugh.

The Golden Yuan Fruit was no ordinary Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Extremely difficult to cultivate and plant.

Even in the Ten Thousand Treasure Medicine Field, there weren't many.

"The real test, only starts now," Elder Mu said softly.

"Whether or not they can take it away, all depends on their own skills."

...

Within the Medicine Field.

Xiao Yi and the iron giants controlled by Jie Mo took big strides towards the golden light.

At the same time, three iron giants controlled by three Sword Masters suddenly quickened their pace from behind.

"Stop them!" Wanshan Sword Master shouted loudly.

The value of the Golden Yuan Fruit equaled all the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures they had harvested before.

Without a doubt, whoever obtained the Golden Yuan Fruit

Would become the victor of the first round of the competition.

The three of them intended to stop them.

But could they really be stopped?

Their Fire Control Ability was already inferior to Xiao Yi's and Jie Mo's.

And the iron giants were extremely difficult to control.

Once they accelerated, their operations immediately became unstable.

The three iron giants tripped over their own steps and collapsed to the ground.

Not only did they fail to stop the two iron giants ahead,

But they also destroyed plenty of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures along the way.

On the other side.

The iron giants controlled by Xiao Yi and Jie Mo.

Had already reached within a three hundred meter range.

The Golden Yuan Fruits were just at the edge of the three hundred meters.

"Four Golden Yuan Fruits." Xiao Yi's mouth curled into a smile.

He controlled an iron giant to reach out, preparing to pick them.

"Don't even think about it," Jie Mo shouted loudly.

He controlled his iron giant to block fiercely.

"Hmph," Xiao Yi snorted coldly.

Clang—a loud metallic sound.

The shoulders of the two iron giants collided fiercely.

Clang… Clang… Clang…

The two iron giants started to fight.

Their movements were as fluid as clouds and water, as if they were two living people battling.

On the other side, Elder Mu and the Deacons were somewhat surprised.

"Impressive, truly impressive."

"Iron giants are extremely hard to control."

"Different actions require different temperatures of the flame."

"Some actions even require a combination of different temperatures."

"To achieve such dexterity in such a short time, less than two hours, is truly the sign of a rare talent."

...

Within the Medicine Field.

The two iron giants wrestled with each other.

Suddenly, the iron giant controlled by Xiao Yi

Bent down, turned around, and did a sweeping leg kick.

Easily tripping Jie Mo's iron giant.

Then, the iron giant's large hand grabbed.

Pocketing the four Golden Yuan Fruits.

Under that massive hand,

A large number of Sixth-grade Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures near the Golden Yuan Fruits were also scooped up.

Although these Sixth-grade Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were not as precious as the Golden Yuan Fruits,

They were also considered rare medicinal materials.

Having done all this,

Xiao Yi controlled the iron giant and turned to run.

"Don't run," Jie Mo's face contorted as he shouted.

Ahead, led by three iron giants controlled by three Sword Masters,

Another 67 iron giants joined forces to block the way.

"Put down the Golden Yuan Fruits," Wanshan Sword Master said coldly.

"Otherwise, your iron giant can just wait to be scrapped."

"The Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures you've collected will also be destroyed."

"You won't even have a chance to enter the second round."

On the iron giants, there was a special indentation for placing Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

One must bring the iron giant outside the Medicine Field

Before the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures could be accounted for.

If the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are destroyed on the way back, it's zero points.

Naturally, one would not be qualified to enter the second round of the competition.

"You think you can stop me?" Xiao Yi sneered.

"Hmph," Wanshan Sword Master said coldly.

"Purple Flame Yi Xiao, I admit you are formidable."

"But that's on the outside."

"Now, it's a competition of controlling iron giants."

"Each iron giant is made of the same material, with equal strength."

"Your iron giant cannot break through our defense."

Xiao Yi gritted his teeth.

If this were an outside fight, he could have slapped these guys away long ago.

But now,

The iron giants did not vary in performance due to the controller's Cultivation or strength.

Each iron giant was of the same material and possessed the same strength.

One could only say, whose iron giant was more flexible,

And easier to control.

"It seems you're unwilling to give up the Golden Yuan Fruits," Wanshan Sword Master said coldly.

"Attack, seize his Golden Yuan Fruits."

"Whatever Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures he's collected will be divided among us."

Xiao Yi's expression changed as he cursed inwardly, 'Despicable.'

He was one of those who controlled their iron giant the fastest.

The collected Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were also the most numerous.

Naturally, everyone coveted them.

However, the Wanshan Sword Master had not expressed a desire to monopolize his Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Instead, he proposed to divide them equally.

This immediately sparked the other contestants' urge to rob him of his share.

On the other side, the Wanshan Sword Master sneered inwardly.

"Purple Flame Yi Xiao, you think you're impressive?"

"Hmph, I'll make sure you won't even make it to the second round."

"How dare you compete with me for a woman, I'll turn you into the laughingstock of all Alchemists."

A malicious thought flashed through his mind.

At this moment, 70 iron giants swarmed towards Xiao Yi's iron giant.

They surrounded Xiao Yi's iron giant.

"Get lost," Xiao Yi barked coldly.

He maneuvered the iron giant to deftly grab another iron giant by his side.

Then, with a great heave, he flung that iron giant towards the dense grouping of other iron giants.

The other Alchemists were already clumsy at controlling the iron giants.

With this throw, a great number of them toppled over.

Xiao Yi's iron giant quickly maneuvered to leap out of the encirclement.

Just then, from behind, an iron giant rapidly gave chase.

It was Jie Mo's iron giant.

"Purple Flame, hand over the Golden Yuan Fruit."

Jie Mo shouted loudly, urgency apparent between his brows.

At the same time,

A strange, fiery red flame burst forth from Jie Mo's iron giant.

The red flame automatically condensed into a Demon Tiger.

Outside the Medicine Field, Elder Mu, who had been as steady as Mount Tai, suddenly changed his complexion.

"True Martial Soul!" Elder Mu's eyes widened.

True Martial Soul was another method for controlling iron giants.

Iron giants could be controlled with flames.

However, the iron giants themselves were incapable of deploying flame attacks.

Thus, the Alchemists in Medicine King Valley who created the iron giants

Added a feature to them.

It was to pull the manipulator's Martial Soul from within their body and condense it.

This greatly challenged the manipulator's own Fire Control Ability.

This could be considered a major method Medicine King Valley used to train the Fire Control Ability of valley Disciples.

It was also the highest level of testing a Disciple's Fire Control Ability.

However, including the valley Disciples,

There were no more than five individuals who could invoke the iron giant's 'True Martial Soul' ability within the first two hours of their initial contact.

Each of these five individuals was a top genius of Medicine King Valley.

"Is that the Fire Demon Tiger?" Elder Mo said gravely.

"It seems Yi Xiao's Purple Flame Lion King Martial Soul is about to appear."

...

Inside the Medicine Field.

Jie Mo's iron giant was originally in the back.

Now, as Xiao Yi's iron giant broke through the encirclement of everyone,

Jie Mo's iron giant ran into this group of obstructing giants.

These iron giants hadn't intended to block Jie Mo's iron giant.

But Jie Mo was in such a hurry right now,

He certainly wasn't going to wait for these iron giants to move aside.

"Move it," Jie Mo roared.

Before his controlled iron giant, a strange Fire Demon Tiger emerged.

The Fire Demon Tiger, with a swat of its claw, easily tore the dozens of iron giants blocking the path to shreds.

Afterward, the iron giant and Fire Demon Tiger,

Quickly chased after Xiao Yi's iron giant.

"Yi Xiao, either leave the Golden Yuan Fruit behind,"

"Or condense your Purple Flame Lion King Martial Soul and let's see whose iron giant is superior."

"Only knowing how to run away, what kind of skill is that?"

Xiao Yi smirked and gave no reply.

He wasn't the Purple Flame Lion King Martial Soul, what could he possibly condense?

In fact, he too could condense a True Martial Soul.

There was clearly a Prohibition layer on the iron giant.

As he controlled the iron giant more skillfully,

The Prohibition automatically drew upon the Martial Soul within his Small World.

However, the Small World was his, and without his permission,

No force could hope to condense his Martial Soul.

Most importantly, his Fire Control Martial Soul was a Fire Control Beast.

Incidentally, he had never condensed the Fire Control Beast for combat since he made his debut.

Because the Fire Control Beast specialized only in Fire Control.

It had no other amplifying abilities.

Condensing it would be futile.

Unlike other Martial Souls which had various augmentations.

Like Jie Mo's Fire Demon Tiger.

If it fought outside,

Not only could it control fire, but it could also amplify strength, speed, and so on.

To condense it was naturally beneficial for combat.

Of course,

Xiao Yi didn't think his 'Fire Control Beast' was inferior.

On the contrary, he found it the most suitable Martial Soul for himself.

The 'Fire Control Specialization,' solely in terms of Fire Control Ability, was absolutely unparalleled.

...

Back to the point.

At this moment, Xiao Yi could actually condense the 'Fire Control Beast' and match it against the 'Fire Demon Tiger.'

But sending the 'Fire Control Beast' to fight in hand-to-hand combat was impossible.

He could only use the Fire Control Beast to control the Purple Flame and attack the iron giant.

The question was, could the Fire Control Beast control the Purple Crystal Spirit Flame?

Such a revelation, once it got out,

Would only bring him a lot of trouble.

Therefore, Xiao Yi unhesitatingly controlled the iron giant and fled.

"Stay behind for me," Jie Mo bellowed.

The speed of the Fire Demon Tiger soared to the extreme.

With a whoosh, it flew like a streak of light,

And blocked Xiao Yi's iron giant's path.

...
