I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head-Novel2

Chapter 185 Gao Hongzhi’s Great Performance

Gao Hongzhi stood in the center of the ring, brandishing his long spear. He pointed at the students of No. 25 High and said, “Don’t you want your money back? If you want your money, come to the ring and spar with me. I want to see how capable you are, and whether you only know how to look for your parents!”

Gao Hongzhi’s words were really mean. Although the students who had been cheated knew that Gao Hongzhi, who managed to pass the test machine, was at least in the seventh level of the Qi Sea Stage, after being struck by his words, they could not help but step into the ring anyway.

After all, they were within the top 20 of their school—the cream of the crop of No. 25 High. They were well-known figures within their school, so how could they endure such taunting?

“I’ll take you down!”

A person jumped out and rushed toward Gao Hongzhi.

Slash!

He swung out the sword in his hand, and a sword light shot out, sweeping toward Gao Hongzhi like liquid mercury.

‘What a fast strike!’ Zhu Yi thought to himself.

He was shocked. It was time to see No. 25 High’s true level. The relationship between No. 13 High and No. 25 High reflected the one between No. 5 High and No. 7 High. They regarded each other as competitors. The cultivation of the person who had jumped out was definitely above the sixth level of the Qi Sea Stage. Compared to Zhu Yi, this fellow’s cultivation was not inferior in the slightest. If it were him, Zhu Yi would have to be careful. Otherwise, he might lose.

Against this person’s sword, Gao Hongzhi’s spear was even faster.

“Firestorm Spear Technique!”

Gao Hongzhi shouted and thrust the long spear in his hand. It looked like a poisonous dragon coming out of its den. The spear light was like a spark that instantly grew into a storm of fire. It turned into a whirlwind of fire and pierced through the sword light.

Clang!

With a huge collision sound, Gao Hongzhi’s spear swept out horizontally to meet the sword light.

The power of the strike transferred to the fellow’s body through the long sword and shocked his entire being.

Ba-dum! Ba-dum! Ba-dum!

The fellow retreated, and he was incomparably shocked. Although he had long known that Gao Hongzhi’s cultivation was at the seventh level of the Qi Sea Stage, his own strength should not have been too far behind. But reality had poured a bucket of cold water on him.

This was not just “not too far behind”, but miles apart!

His opponent’s strength was far above his.

Bam!

Just as he retreated, Gao Hongzhi’s spear came at him like a tidal wave. He could not defend himself. He could only watch helplessly as the spear rushed at him and then stopped at his throat. Only then did this attack come to an end.

“Oh well, tough luck.”

Gao Hongzhi put away his spear. He had not gone all out. His face revealed a somewhat bored expression. Compared to fighting monsters, fighting with other students was boring

When fighting with monsters, one had to be careful at all times. Otherwise, one might meet a tragic end. That kind of nervous and exciting feeling was completely different. It was incomprehensible if one had never stepped into the wilderness.

However, Gao Hongzhi’s expression and words were interpreted as ridicule. Immediately, the students of No. 25 High became furious.

Extremely furious!

“Didn’t you guys say that your school is stronger than ours?” Gao Hongzhi said with a sneer, “But really, this is all you’ve got?”

“Don’t be too sure of yourself. I’ll take you on!”

The freckled girl could not hold it in anymore and said, “My name is Sun Ziqiong. Tell me your name!”

“Finally, an interesting one. My name is Gao Hongzhi. Remember it well!” Gao Hongzhi said.

“Good, good, good. Excellent!” Sun Ziqiong cackled and then stepped forward. The long sword in her hand made its move. Her speed was obviously much faster than the person earlier. Her sword was like a swimming dragon. In terms of speed and technique comprehension, she was far more tyrannical than the previous fellow.

“Seventh level of the Qi Sea Stage!” the students of No. 13 High exclaimed

They knew what it meant to be at the seventh level of the Qi Sea Stage. The standard of admission to the common focus universities was the seventh level of the Qi Sea Stage. During last semester’s final exam, in No. 13 High, only Ou Yang had reached this standard. This was enough to sweep away the students of No. 13 High. They looked nervously at Gao Hongzhi. Gao Hongzhi was only at the fifth level of the Qi Sea Stage last semester and had ranked eighth in the final exam.

However, what happened next shocked them. The spear in Gao Hongzhi’s hand immediately launched a counterattack. He was able to fight Sun Ziqiong to a standstill.

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

Sounds of metal colliding rang out one after another. Gao Hongzhi was able to withstand Sun Ziqiong’s attacks. The other students of No. 13 High were shocked to discover that Gao Hongzhi had also reached the seventh level of the Qi Sea Stage. That was the minimum requirement to take the focus university examinations.

“This… How is this possible…”

Many people were wide-eyed in disbelief.

“How did he become so strong?!”

After winter break, Gao Hongzhi, who had been on the same level as them, had suddenly surpassed them. This leap in his strength shocked them to the core.

“The winner and loser are about to be decided!”

Chu Yunfan said as he watched the battle.

“It is,” Tang Siyu agreed as she nodded.

“Sun Ziqiong is currently on the same level as you had been before winter break. When a long weapon is used effectively, one inch is longer and one inch is stronger. Unless she can penetrate through Old Gao’s defenses and get close to him, she’ll definitely lose,” Chu Yunfan said.

He was talking about the battle where Tang Siyu lost to Ou Yang. From the looks of it, this was a similar situation.

On the other side, Yin Chen was frowning. He could tell that Sun Ziqiong would not be able to break through Gao Hongzhi’s defenses and would be tortured to death by him sooner or later.

Time confirmed Chu Yunfan’s judgment. Sun Ziqiong was gradually pushed toward the corner, and the area she could use to dodge Gao Hongzhi’s strikes was getting smaller and smaller. With her back against the wall, she chose the same strategy as Tang Siyu and launched a counterattack.

However, it was useless. Gao Hongzhi’s technique was steady and he directly cut off her counterattack. He took the opportunity to put the tip of the spear on her chin.

The outcome was decided!

“Old Gao is becoming more and more steady. A month ago, even if they were on the same strength level, Sun Ziqiong’s counterattack would have definitely flustered him,” Chu Yunfan said as he nodded.

“You’re right. He’s growing very fast,” Tang Siyu said.

“Fatty, don’t be arrogant. Now it’s my turn!” The youth who looked like a monk flew into the ring. Like Ou Yang, he too employed the use of a staff.

“Fatty…”

Gao Hongzhi raised his eyebrows, and the spear in his hand instantly stabbed out like a dragon.
