He waited for a few more seconds to make sure he was properly logged out and then decided to go back in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait,\" he said to himself. \"It might be better if I use that helmet instead. It will also help me with my body,\" he thought and opened the lid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then laid down on his comfy bed and put on the helmet. After that, he logged back in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex was still in the Qi gathering formation and nobody had disturbed him. However…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk. It's still here,\" he said when he felt that the feeling didn't leave him. He was very curious as to what it was. However, just then, it disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, it's gone,\" he thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With nothing else to do, he stood up and left the formation. He couldn't even absorb Qi actively, so there was no point in staying here in the first place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, he had barely lost anything. The most he lost was in the fight against the gorilla and that by no means was a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He made his way over to the Hong Wu sect. Suddenly, someone attacked him. Alex immediately got ready to fight but stopped when he saw what attacked him was a pair of hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It immediately wrapped around him and confined him. It was a hug.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aah! I'm so happy Mingming, thank you so much. Thank you.\" It was Fan Ruogang who had decided to hug him out of nowhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>MWAH\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only was Alex surprise attacked with a hug, but with a kiss on the cheek as well. His face got a little red and he started blushing a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wh— why did you suddenly hug me? I nearly thought you were an enemy and hit you,\" he said bashfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fanfan, you can't jump on him like that just because you made 200 True spirit stones,\" Zhou Mei said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" Alex's red face slowly went back to being a little less colorful, and just showed a general confusion towards the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh, when the match started, Mingming went around gathering people for bidding on the winner. She bid 400 spirit stones on you and got a 50 times higher return from it and made 200 True spirit stones,\" Zhou Mei explained, with a hint of envy in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, you wish you bid along with me, don't you? Look how much I made,\" Fan Ruogang teased Zhou Mei by showing the handful of True Spirit stones. Even Alex got a little jealous when he saw that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good work, brother Yu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Great job, junior.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That was an outstanding result. How did you do that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex briefly explained what had happened. Multiple compliments rained down as he made his way through the sect members to go sit next to Ma Rong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Congratulations on the first place, Brother Yu. You now officially have 300 points, the highest possible in this competition,\" Wan Li said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, I didn't realize that,\" Alex said with a gentle smile. \"Thank you, Brother Li.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then looked towards his master and waited for her to speak. Ma Rong kept quiet for a few seconds and then finally spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Were you using your sense a lot?\" she practically whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" Alex said and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I thought that was what was happening. If not for me especially looking for you, I wouldn't have noticed at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good job. You did great,\" she finally smiled and said. Alex smiled too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, master,\" he replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, now leave,\" she said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?… oh, right. Ok, I will see you guys later after this competition ends,\" Alex said and went to the front of the seating area where the Tiger sect was located.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, good job, Yu-Ming. I am proud of you,\" Wen Cheng said the moment he reached there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am honestly so surprised at the result, Junior brother. What happened out there?\" Luo Mei asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex thanked them and explained everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, I see. So everyone who flew over the beasts got doomed huh?\" Luo Mei said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not really, as that second-ranked, you could just be fast. But I think, Yu Ming is genuinely an extreme case in this competition,\" Wen Cheng said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is true too,\" Luo Mei said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister, aren't you going to leave now?\" Alex asked. The top 16 was going to start soon and it was time for her to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will go down after the stage is fixed,\" she said as she gestured towards the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The opaque barrier had returned and Alex could tell that they were destroying the stage inside there. He had a pretty good guess that most of them were just formations, but he was still surprised how well it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, while the stage was getting ready, they all waited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>******\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you like that, father?\" the second price asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Yes, that was very fun to watch. It's truly amazing how the last person flipped the points around so much that it went below zero. This is truly the first time I have seen something like this happen,\" the Emperor said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Truly well said, dear. It was the most fun I have had watching a competition in a long time. Not only were the different Maze fun to watch them go through, but the final result was also equally as fun to see,\" the Empress said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That was great of you, dear Nephew. I enjoyed it very much too,\" Zexi said with a burst of loud laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest of the four looked at him with surprise. \"You liked it?\" the second prince asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, it was very entertaining to watch,\" Zexi said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know what daddy,\" the Princess intervened, \"that's actually the same robe as the boy I met,\" she said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it?\" the Emperor asked in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, but that wasn't him. The one I met had long hair,\" the Princess said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, that's very unfortunate,\" the Emperor said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zexi had a smirk on his face as he looked down at the seating areas of the different sects and said, \"Truly unfortunate, indeed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1021,"2026-05-29T03:36:52.066Z","2026-06-01T04:29:05.147Z",1,"novelbin.me","8c6bc2552c7532fcf791ff01a3579043154af64af3c1141ec8afd9158ec275a3","eternal-cultivation-of-alchemy-chapter-339","eternal-cultivation-of-alchemy-chapter-337",3577,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-cultivation-of-alchemy-cover.jpg"]
