Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy,1387 Testing - Read free novels online

Alex slowly got fearful now that the time had come. His entire body was covered in Yang Qi, but he wasn’t sure how it worked exactly just yet. He was trying to figure it out, and in doing so, he was risking his own survival inside of the abyss.

Had the suppressing space formation not been there, he would have called out Pearl or Whisker to check it for him, but to do so, he would have to use his space dao, which he did not want to do as that might end up being a violation of the rules as well.

As a result, this was the only way for him to test it.

He had his senses ready at his bracer to write down the number of the person he had come across. As the person didn’t retreat, they were ready to write down his number for certain too.

Instantly, Alex’s spiritual sense spread to over 45 meters in a split second, far surpassing his energy than what they could produce. At the same time, he saw their number and wrote it down on his bracer.

All of the digits, but the last one. He stopped before he wrote down the last digit as he needed to see how it worked.

The other person was an upside-down girl, whose flowing hair flailed in an unruly manner in the absence of gravity. Her face showed fear as the spiritual sense had touched her, while her spiritual sense hadn’t touched her enemy.

She had a shield in her hand that she had luckily found when she arrived. She had only just written 2 names and still had 48 others remaining. Was she going to lose just like that?

Was she going to lose to someone she couldn’t even reach?

Checking who the other person was was no longer a priority for her. As he had sensed her, she knew she had lost. However, after seeing as seconds passed without her being sent away, she realized something was wrong.

‘Wait, does he not have one?’ she wondered. Without waiting, she moved forward with her spiritual sense following the root of the strong user.

When she reached the center of the spiritual sense, suddenly she felt his mind in slight ache. Her spiritual sense felt hot and that hurt her. She tried to look at her opponent’s face, but even that seemed impossible.

Her spiritual sense that was reaching her opponent seemed to dissipate when it got too close.

“What the hell is going on?” she couldn’t help but complain. “What sort of artifact is he using?”

Not only was her spiritual sense not reaching her opponent to see his face or the number on his back, but she was also realizing that it was actually getting destroyed, and that was hurting her back.

“It’s… it’s working,” he said to Godslayer with a surprised look. “Haha, it truly is working.”

“Really?” Godslayer couldn’t help but ask.

“Yeah! Look, we’re still here,” Alex said.

“Wow,” Godslayer exclaimed. “Well, for now, send the poor girl away.”

“Oh, right,” Alex remember and put the last digit into the bracer. Then, the teleportation aura grabbed onto the girl and sent her away. At the same time, the bracer he wrote the name on disappeared as well.

He celebrated again after the girl was gone and started reflecting on what he saw with his own senses as to what happened just beforehand.

When the girl’s spiritual sense had come close, where his master’s body would freeze it all so that it didn’t even reach her, his body would burn it all up.

He let go of the Yang Qi around his body, letting his Dantian relax a little as well as letting some heat return to it. With the Yang source inside his dantian working away from the Yin bead, it had caused a bit of coldness.

While not dangerous, it sure as hell was annoying him to feel coldness in that part of his body when he hadn’t felt cold in decades.

He tried Pulling the yang Qi back out and found how easily he could do that now that he knew what to do.

“I think our hypothesis is correct,” Alex said. “When spiritual sense lands on me, it burns. Let’s go try a few more times.”

He flew away from the location and went on to find more people.

Only half a day had passed before he found the 4th person, but the fact that it took him half a day was something that Alex hadn’t expected. With 40 thousand people already inside the abyss, he had expected people to be found left and right.

However, he also had to remember that many were sent outside already. If his record was anything to go by, nearly 30 thousand people had already been eliminated in half a day, with only 10 thousand remaining.

And, Alex had found another one.

The man used his spiritual sense to try and see Alex’s number, but he couldn’t sense it. Just like the girl, he too was having difficulty keeping his spiritual sense around Alex.

As such, he couldn’t write Alex’s number on the hat that he wore.

Alex had made sure that his hypothesis was correct and that other people did in fact suffer from damaged spiritual sense when they tried to look at him. So, it was time to send the man away.

Only, there was a problem.

Alex couldn’t see the man’s number either.

It seemed he was using an artifact that was clearly designed to save someone from other people’s spiritual sense. It created a barrier around the man that his spiritual sense couldn’t go past.

To Alex, he saw a large, shiny dome of energy that covered the young man. He couldn’t penetrate the barrier with his spiritual sense at all.

Neither of the two could see each other’s number at all.

Alex knew that people brought such artifacts, but it was kinda annoying when he really thought about it. They were using outer power to gain an advantage. But of course, who was he to complain?

He was using plenty of stuff that didn’t belong to him at all.

“Let’s move our separate way,” the man’s voice came from inside the barrier. “Neither of us is getting what we want, so let’s just go our separate ways, and we can survive a bit longer.”

“Good idea,” Alex replied. “If neither of us can see the other’s number, then we really should go the other way.”

“Great,” the man said. “It’s good that you understa—”

“That is, if neither of us saw the other’s number,” Alex said. “Unfortunately for you, I have a method.”

Alex teleported in an instant, arriving behind the man. His right hand moved, producing Yang Qi from it to send away the Shadow aura that was behind the man.

Then, with his left hand, he created a tongue of flame that was large enough to brighten everything in the area where there was no more shadow.

Then, Alex saw the number clearly written behind the man and wrote it onto his dagger. At the next moment, the man felt the teleportation aura grab onto him.

He teleported away, and so did Alex’s dagger. And all that was left behind was the man’s hat with 2 more free slots.
