More than two hours had passed as both the participants were giving their all in order to win, but compared to Dugu Cheng, Ryuu was on much better position, his movements were more at ease and without hesitation.

Soon there was a loud hissing noise from Dugu Cheng's side followed by a loud bang, his cauldron exploded spreading its content in the form of boiling liquid mixed with shrapnel with great force, Shmairan stepped forward as she raised her hand an invisible shield was formed which shielded Ryuu from being victim of the accident, meanwhile Dugu Cheng as well as his helper both were near ground zero as such their condition was worst, their clothes shredded their body covered by burn and boils not to mention all those cuts and wounds they suffered, they laid on the ground moaning from pain.

Lang Yuzhu was lucky she was not on the stage at that time as she saw the floor melting on a few places, "Emergency management staff quickly come and help them."

Soon dozen of people came as they removed the victims of the mishap cleaning and treating their wounds, but Ryuu did not pay any attention to them he was busy concocting the pills, Shamiran would wipe out the sweat forming on his forehead so that it does not drop on the concoction causing failure.

Yang Chao was enraged, "How dare you cheat you despicable scum.", he tried to move forward in order to move forward with the intention to hurt Ryuu, only to stop as Lang An flared his aura, "Shut up and sit down."

Yang Chao grumbled while he sat down, he kept on mumbling cheating bastards, scum and every obscenity he had learned during his entire life, anyone who heard him blushed red because of embarrassment.

Within the next half an hour Ryuu had added the last bit of ingredient, and thoroughly mixed the concoction and now he just had to wait and let the excess unwanted liquid to vaporize and the main content of the pill to coagulate and solidify into a pill, and after a few agonizing minute he could feel the pill was ready, he let out a sigh of relief as looked up and was startled in front of him seemed to be a battlefield, the floor had melted and various metallic shrapnel were scattered around, he saw of what remained of Dugu Cheng's cauldron as well as copious amount of blood and pus lying on the floor.

Suddenly a shrill voice was heard as a bandaged and deformed man limped into the area, "Brat, what did you do what trickery you hid among the ingredients.", Ryuu frowned at that, as he heard many people supporting.

It took a few minutes to understand that the injured person standing in front of him was Dugu Cheng, he blinked owlishly before he asked innocently, "What happened to you?"

Dugu Cheng bristled at that, "What happened to me, you little shit stain it was because of your ingredients I was injured."

Ryuu trembled slightly, both Dugu Cheng and Yang Chao thought with hidden glee if they press on the might turn it in their favor but before they could open their mouth a tyrannical aura engulfed them forcing them on their knees, as fresh beads of sweat formed on their head, "How dare you nincompoop and failure of an alchemist accuse me of such, you lowly uncivilized cretin, how dare you accuse me, if you are an alchemist why did you not utilize the Dao of Alchemy, any alchemist worth their salt would always inspect and establish relation between ingredients using the Dao, why did you not do such a thing?"

Dugu Cheng gnashed his teeth as he replied, "Do you know how hard it is to get an insight on some Dao how dare you whore child say somr....."

His words died as his vision was filled with death by various methods as such he choked in fear and nearly lost controls of his bowels, the killing intent which cascaded upon him causing him to see such visions, the killing intent suddenly vanished as it came as Ryuu replied, "You phony how dare you call yourself an alchemist if you do not have a shred of comprehension of the Dao of Alchemy you are nothing more than a 'Helper' of an Alchemist. Oh well I do not have time to lose on the likes of you I would like to present the result of concoction for judgment."

Ryuu removed the pill from the cauldron as he presented it to Lang An for judgment, people were standing on their sit in order to catch a glimpse of the legendary pill, even Lang Yuzhu stepped forward as she looked at the pill.

Lang An calmed his nerve with great difficulty as he replied, "'Dao Ascension Pill',low Primal Daoist level pill with 68% purity. The second Round is won by Ryuu", the entire hall descended into chaos while Ryuu clicked his teeth in annoyance, 'tch what a failure mistress would be disappointed.', Ryuu's teacher always sought the best from him currently the best he could do was get near 90% purity for the pills of Wanxiang Adept level, but as there were some pills he had yet to cross the 80% threshold Veena forbids him to call himself a Primal Daoist level Alchemist on top of that anything below 80% is considered failure in her eyes, yet since Ryuu is young and still learning his cut off is 70% as such for him the pill was a failure, although he will not look the gift horse in the mouth after all he is bored dueling against the Dugu fellow as such he wishes to leave.

Yang Chao's world came crashing down along with Dugu Cheng's but suddenly he perked up, 'Wait a minute, I have heard something before like this noble woman tend to keep male as their slaves in order to satisfy their carnal lustful desire', as such he drooled letting out a perverted giggle as his nostrils flared up before he tried to look a gentlemanly and suave as he spoke, "Well it cannot be helped I will full and satisfy your every desire mistress~ ", he finished it with a wink as he leering towards the sisters.

Ryuu felt crept out as well as disgusted as he hid behind Shamiran.

Suddenly a voice came from Royal Balcony Number 01, "Immortal Fairies please show mercy and forgive my friend I think we might work something out."

Icas Brack, the Governor of the province was incensed not only his minion lost he was willing agreeing to servitude as such he tried to save the imbecile but his hopes were dashed as the said idiot opened his mouth, "Boss man do not worry I will surely fulfill their desires", he finished with a thumbs up.

Shamiran perked up as she spoke, "Really you will satisfy my every desire.", at that 'Mad Dog' Yang Chao nodded vigorously as his nostrils flared even more.

Shamiran: "Aika be a dear and please prepare them."

Aika bowed in a blink of an eye they were under collar and leash like a dog, Aika then raised her hand and couple of array flashed and soon both Dugu Chen and Mad dog were on their knees on all fourthey tried to speak but the only sound came from their mouth was 'woof wurf', then all of a sudden a pain erupted from their nether region as their genitals were melted off they whimpered in pain, before Yang Chao tried to harm Aika who was near them but the collar activated and fell writher on the floor as unbearable pain coursed through his body his angry howls and snarling now reduce to a whimper.

Shamiran spoke in a kind tone, "A weak and frail woman like me is always fearful while walking through crowd with such nefarious people all around as such I want you to guard the market region like a brave knight", she spoke as put her right feet on Yang Chao's head with enough force to cause a crater while Ryuu deadpanned at her,'if she is weak what are we amoeba', "Oh before I send you let me bestow you another gift", she snapped her fingers and both Dugu Cheng and Yang Chao'sdantian were completely destroyed beyond salvageable by anyone she turned towards Aika as she ordered, "Be a dear and escort my new dogs to their new position or remember to secure properly so that even Immortal won't be able to rescue them, oh take Minami with you as well, seems they are to lethargic so please walk slowly take your time while escorting them I do not want my new lazy dogs to be pampered more than they should be.",she finished with a matter of fact tone as Minami and Aika dragged them without a care of the world.

Ryuu looked at them with slight pity in his eyes if only they would have been a bit smart they could have avoided such fate, but oh well they were getting what they deserved due to their karma.
