Chapter 1589: Your Skill in Teaching Disciples Is Lacking!

Song Qiyang was in an absolutely explosive state today!

For the second spiritual medicine, the Jade Cicada Immortal Stamen, he actually achieved a high score of five point eight.

At this moment, Song Qiyang felt as if his soul had left his body, invincible under heaven.

“Hahaha, little girl, let’s see what you can use to compete with me this round!” Song Qiyang laughed loudly.

Grand Elder Ruoxu finally showed a smile on his face, nodding slightly: “Hehe, knowing shame and then acting bravely, Qiyang is doing well!”

“Hehe, it’s all thanks to Grand Elder’s excellent guidance! Qiyang remains calm in the face of danger; both his mindset and strength are top-notch!” another elder flattered.

“Grand Elder has a keen eye for talent; this boy Qiyang will surely achieve great things in the future!”

Listening to the praise, Grand Elder felt immensely proud.

He admitted that Song Qiyang was his masterpiece, even more outstanding than his senior disciple.

He had also worried earlier that Song Qiyang might be affected by the first round and underperform in the second.

Now it seemed his worry was unnecessary.

Soon, Song Qiyang pressed on and completed the Dao derivation for the Imperial Extreme Purple Aster as well.

For the third spiritual medicine, Song Qiyang also scored five point eight!

The total score for the three spiritual medicines reached a high of seventeen point three.

Don’t underestimate these three points; for Song Qiyang, it was a huge breakthrough.

Dao derivation is not something where you can continuously improve and draw out more law fragments just by cultivating.

After reaching fifty percent, every half-point improvement is extremely difficult.

Song Qiyang had put in countless hard efforts to make even a little progress.

Moreover, he had only reached seventeen points once before.

Song Qiyang’s results immediately drew a wave of admiration.

“Ah, after all, he is the number one among the three-star disciples! Song Qiyang’s strength is truly beyond words. Losing to Ning Siyu before was just a slip in a ditch.”

“Yes, they say he might one day reach Grand Elder’s level; I think that’s not false.”

“With such difficult spiritual medicines, he still managed to get seventeen point three—he’s simply a freak!”

…

Basking in the crowd’s adoring gazes, Song Qiyang felt extremely gratified.

Especially after the bitterness came the sweetness; this glory was even sweeter.

On the viewing platform, Grand Elder smiled at Xuan Yu and said, “Second Elder, seventeen point three. I wonder if that girl Siyu can achieve such a high score?”

At these words, everyone’s eyes turned to Xuan Yu.

Provocation!

This was blatant provocation!

They were eager to see if the good-natured Second Elder would counterattack.

But in their view, it was far too difficult for Second Elder to win.

Seventeen point three was already an extremely high score.

Second Elder slightly raised his eyelids and finally opened his eyes, but contrary to everyone’s expectations, he looked at Ye Yuan and asked, “Elder Ye, what do you think?”

What was this all about?

Your disciple, and you ask someone else’s opinion?

Don’t you even know your own disciple’s level?

This act is so fake!

However, Xuan Yu really didn’t know Ning Siyu’s current situation.

Ning Siyu had only been back for about ten days, but those ten days had left Xuan Yu completely baffled.

The progress was too great!

But whether Ning Siyu had improved only in flame control or in all aspects, he really didn’t know.

Ye Yuan said indifferently, “Seventeen point three? Heh, with such a score, you dare to show off? And call it a high score? Sigh… Grand Elder, your skill in teaching disciples is lacking!”

The viewing platform fell silent, stunned by Ye Yuan’s massive taunt.

Grand Elder’s teaching is lacking?

They had never heard that before!

In fact, Grand Elder’s skill in teaching disciples was something even Second Elder could not match.

His disciples basically dominated Second Elder’s lineage at every stage.

And now someone was saying Grand Elder couldn’t teach disciples!

Ruoxu narrowed his eyes and said coldly, “Elder Ye, I really wonder if you are truly knowledgeable or just deliberately trying to be sensational. For a three-star divine alchemist, reaching fifteen points is already impressive. Seventeen point three ranks among the top in previous Alchemy Tower Grand Competitions. And you say I don’t know how to teach disciples?”

Ye Yuan curled his lip disdainfully: “Grand Elder, that day Song Qiyang offended this elder. Out of respect for my status, I disdained to teach him a lesson. But that doesn’t mean I can let a mere three-star divine alchemist bully me! I currently have no disciples, so I borrowed one from Second Elder and trained her for a few days. No other intention—just to let your disciple know that there is always someone better, and to make him understand that an elder’s dignity is not to be challenged!”

“Hiss…”

All the elders drew in a cold breath, never expecting Ye Yuan to say such a thing.

Did he mean that Ning Siyu had become so powerful because of his training?

But honestly, Ning Siyu’s improvement in flame control was like a triple jump.

But… what did he mean by ‘mere three-star divine alchemist’?

As if he himself weren’t a three-star divine alchemist!

Ruoxu didn’t believe Ye Yuan at all and sneered, “Is that so? Do you mean that I, who have taught disciples for centuries, am inferior to you who taught for a few days? Young man, don’t speak too arrogantly, lest you can’t back it up later!”

Ye Yuan smiled: “Grand Elder, rest assured. When I, Ye Yuan, say something, I can always back it up!”

Ruoxu felt that Ye Yuan was nothing but a troublemaker!

There was no way to continue this conversation!

When showing off meets a lunatic, how can one keep showing off?

“Hmph! Nonsense!” Grand Elder snorted coldly and said no more.

Lu Yi and the others below pricked up their ears, feeling immensely satisfied.

Elder Ye was as domineering as ever!

You frogs at the bottom of a well, when you witness Elder Ye’s true strength, just wait to be dumbfounded!

Thinking of the expression on Grand Elder’s face after being defeated by Ye Yuan, they couldn’t help but smile knowingly.

The Dao derivation continued, and sure enough, after Song Qiyang, there were no more stunning performances.

Scores were as low as ten or eleven points; occasionally a good one appeared, but at most fourteen or fifteen points.

However, as it went on, the scores gradually increased.

After all, those who made it through the first round with high rankings were all powerful.

Originally, Song Qiyang should have been ranked later, but due to the accident in the first round, he was placed earlier.

After Song Qiyang, the highest score was Ning Siyu’s third senior brother, but only sixteen point three, a full point less than Song Qiyang!

This gap was already considerable.

Ning Siyu’s third senior brother was second, meaning he was second to last to perform.

Only one remained—Ning Siyu.

If Ning Siyu could not surpass seventeen point three, then Song Qiyang would be the champion of the second round.

For a moment, everyone’s eyes fell on Ning Siyu.

Ning Siyu took a deep breath and shattered the Blood Longevity Ginseng with a palm strike.
