Chapter 594: Dear God

On the giant mirror, the first ranked name, Hong Zhuang Luo, had disappeared. What replaced it was the words “Ling Xian.”

Behind his name, the number 250,000 shone brightly and eternally like the giant sun in the sky!

Everyone was shocked. Whether it was the geniuses inside the Realm of Alchemy or those cultivators watching externally, all of their brains were blank at the moment.

The only thought they could think of currently was how could this man be this insane?

How could he be so heaven-defying?!

Since he began identifying spiritual medicines, only a short moment had passed. His score however, had reached a shocking 250,000. Beyond that, he had outcompeted Hong Zhuang Luo and became first in ranks!

How unbelievable was this?

“He is now first! My god, is he even human? How could he be so insane?”

“This is unbelievable. Am I hallucinating? This is too hard to believe!”

“I cannot believe that in such a short period of time, he managed to identify more than 200,000 spiritual medicines. This is far too insane!”

Everyone was now in utter awe. Whether it was the external world or inside the Realm of Alchemy, everyone was gasping. They really could not believe, no matter what, the extremity of Ling Xian’s terror.

To be able to increase the score of 250,000 within such a short period of time was a shocking achievement. Those who had a poor mentality were now questioning their own lives.

What could they do? This event was far too astonishing. Nobody couldn’t help but wonder just what kind of person the man dressed in white was.

Why did he give off the aura of a God?

Reality was just that. Ling Xian’s current behavior really was the same as if a God had descended and surprised everyone into silence.

Cao Yu, in particular, had just made the statement that Ling Xian would slow down and would not break the current ranks. Yet before his eyes, a giant palm had landed on his face, making his cheeks feel hot.

He could not believe it. No matter what, how could Ling Xian be strong to this extent? He really couldn’t believe that his face would be slapped.

Sadly, reality was placed right before him. No matter how much he wanted to refuse, he had to accept this cruel reality!

Everyone here had to accept it. Every single person who had made fun of Ling Xian before felt their cheeks warming up as if someone had slapped them repetitively.

The way they looked at him was full of astonishment. Other than that, there was only shame as they wanted to find a crack on the ground and crawl into it.

The one who originally was second last in ranking was crying tearlessly. He didn’t think that he would end up in the bottom after such a short period of time.

As for those rare genius alchemists who were within the top 10, their expressions were very complex. Though they didn’t laugh at Ling Xian, they somewhat looked down on him.

Yet before their eyes, they didn’t dare to see him lightly again. Because reality had proven that at the very least, with spiritual medicine identification, all of them combined would not be able to defeat Ling Xian!

Hong Zhuang Luo, who was placed first since the beginning of the competition, was now staring at Ling Xian with complexity. There was shock, embarrassment, helplessly, and respect.

Ling Xian’s actions were far too shocking, enough to make this genius lady have the thought of not being able to keep up with him. At the very least, she has now utterly accepted her defeat with spiritual medicine identification.

Once everyone regained their composure, their gazes were now once again fixated on Ling Xian’s core. Then, they once again fell into a state of shock.

All because the number behind Ling Xian’s name had risen from 250,000 to 400,000!

What the f*ck!

Why would you ever strike everyone’s mentality like this!

Everyone was cursing inside their heads. Other than cursing, there was not much more for them to say. Or better put, they were so shocked by Ling Xian, they were speechless.

To know that identifying spiritual medicines, in the beginning, is considered easy. All alchemists with some knowledge would be able to name at least a few thousand spiritual medicines. But as time goes on, after all, spiritual medicines they know of have been named by them, there was nothing else to name.

This was why Cao Yu said Ling Xian’s speed will for sure slow down as the competition continued.

Pity though, as someone who possesses the Essence of Herbalism, he was not limited by this. As everyone was frozen in shock, he took the opportunity and named 150,000 more spiritual medicines.

He had caused a scene already. He might as well strengthen the shock!

Even though Ling Xian had acquired first place, he was not satisfied by this and he would not stop here. He remembered very well how everyone had laughed at him. Therefore, he vowed to end up with a score that will slap everyone in the face, hard!

“After today, everyone will suspect that I have the Essence of Herbalism. So, I might as well surprise them more. This will also be a good lesson for those who have eyes but no sight!”

Ling Xian’s smile had a trace of sarcasm and coldness. As he called out to his Essence of Herbalism, he continued to increase his heaven-defying score.

Yes, he continued to increase it. It wasn’t right to describe his score as being accurate. Because he was now acting as if he was cheating using the scoreboard. With an average speed of 2,000 points per second, he was crushing everyone’s heart.

450,000, 500,000, 600,000… as time went on, the number on the giant screen continued to change non-stop. He eventually reached the heaven-defying number, 800,000!

However, Ling Xian was not satisfied at this. Since he had decided to go all out if he doesn’t end up with a heaven-defying number, how could he be happy with this climax that is rare to come by for him?

Therefore, he didn’t stop his movement and continued to update his score before everyone’s wide eyes.

Those in the external world were the same. Everyone who was watching; the normal citizens and the leaders of the five clans, were all in a state of pure shock.

Even the five clan leaders were watching with their eyes wide open and finding it difficult to believe that what was happening was real.

“Increase, increase like crazy. Let me show off myself and astonish them all!”

Ling Xian had unrestricted all of his abilities as he continued to crazily increase his score. Every single second, the number on the giant scoreboard would increase by thousands and everyone’s heart would thump in response.

When the number jumped from 999,000 to 1,000,000, everyone couldn’t help but gasp out loud.

One million!

Without a doubt, this was an incomparable shocking number and a number that forced everyone into a state of helplessness!

Adding up everyone who was competing’s scores together would not even reach this number. Therefore, how could everyone not feel surprised? They were now in a state of pure desperation.

Nobody could imagine that such a heaven-defying number was achieved by such a young alchemist!

But the reality was before everyone’s eyes. No matter how hard it was to accept, they had to accept it!

“Dear God, please stop using your ability!”

Someone unknown suddenly shouted. Everyone was first startled, but then quickly joined in their chiming. In the next second, they shouted in unison. Summarizing all their awe towards Ling Xian into one statement, they shouted.

“Dear God, please stop using your ability!”
