The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron C.459 - : Who Should Be Chosen?

Chapter 459: Chapter 459: Who Should Be Chosen?

“Chen Wu of Yun Country, challenges Fang Lin!”

“Huang Haoshan of Meng Kingdom, challenges Fang Lin!”

“Meng Langtian of Meng Kingdom, challenges Fang Lin!”

“Zhao Shenji of Yun Country, challenges Fang Lin!”

Fang Lin stood shell-shocked at these four challengers, feeling overwhelmed.

Everyone present was equally surprised, nobody had expected this major competition between the three countries to get heated so quickly, with four young geniuses challenging Fang Lin all at once.

What on earth did Fang Lin get himself into?

Fang Lin gritted his teeth in frustration, What’s going on? Do they all see me as a pushover, ready for them to squeeze? One challenge would be fine, two, I could still deal. But four of you at once, what’s the game here?

The four challengers glanced at each other, none spoke or retreated, each of them eager to be the first one to fight Fang Lin.

To put it precisely, they all wanted to use Fang Lin to assert their dominance.

In their eyes, Fang Lin indeed seemed an easy opponent to deal with initially, refining him would be a great opportunity to showcase their might.

Therefore, the situation turned into this deadlock, with all four unwilling to give way, each wanting to be the first to challenge Fang Lin.

Fang Lin spread his hands, wearing a helpless look as he addressed his challengers, “All four of you want to fight me, what should I do? Do I have to challenge all four of you at the same time?”

The onlookers twisted their lips in disbelief, thinking ‘even at this moment, this guy Fang Lin still dares to joke around. Let alone four, any one of us could easily beat you to the point where you’d be picking up your teeth off the ground. If the four fight you together, they would pulverize you into nothingness.’

The influential figures of the three countries did not intervene either, letting the four men decide who would challenge Fang Lin first.

Fang Lin stroked his chin, suddenly proposing, “How about this? The four of you fight first. Whoever wins can challenge me.”

Upon hearing this, not only did Zhao Shenji and Chen Wu roll their eyes, even the other onlookers, including martial artists from the three countries, were left speechless. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Who do you think you are? Not only would they have to fight amongst themselves to decide the winner but also then challenge you? Aren’t you thinking too highly of yourself?

Moreover, why would they fight each other for no reason? Isn’t that just wasting their energy?

However, none of the four was willing to back down, every one of them viewing Fang Lin as a delicious piece of meat that needed to be devoured.

Fang Lin sighed in resignation and closed his eyes, “Since you’re all so insistent on challenging me, I’ll just begrudgingly pick one from among you. How does that sound? Any objections?” Fang Lin asked.

Upon hearing this, the four glanced at each other. Zhao Shenji was the first to respond, “Okay.”

The other three nodded, expressing no complaints. At the moment, all of them were eager for Fang Lin to choose them.

The situation turned a little strange, with Zhao Shenji, Chen Wu, Meng Langtian, and Huang Haoshan all standing in a line waiting for Fang Lin to pick his challenger.

As for Liu Wuyin of Yun Country and Yuxin of Meng Kingdom, the two women didn’t seem willing to get involved and appeared to be sizing up the situation.

Fang Lin frowned as he looked at Zhao Shenji and the other three, the scene reminding many of an emperor selecting his concubine from the harem.

Soon, Fang Lin’s gaze rested on Zhao Shenji.

“Is Fang Lin challenging Zhao Shenji? Surely not?”

“From what we can tell, Zhao Shenji should be the toughest one to fight.”

“Could it be that Fang Lin is so over-confident that he thinks he can defeat Zhao Shenji?”

“That’s rather foolish.”

····

Just as Zhao Shenji, with a smiling face, was about to speak, Fang Lin’s gaze shifted to Meng Langtian.

Meng Langtian, with his bronze-coloured skin and imposing build, smirked as Fang Lin looked his way.

But Fang Lin’s gaze swiftly moved on to Huang Haoshan.

Huang Haoshan looked coldly at Fang Lin. He’d been harboring a disliking for Fang Lin and wanted nothing more than to teach him a hard lesson right then and there.

However, Fang Lin only lingered on Huang Haoshan for a moment before looking at Chen Wu.

All four looked disgruntled. Was Fang Lin mocking them? After looking at each of them, he still wasn’t making a decision, which was upsetting to the four of them.

“Fang Lin, you’d better make a decision quickly!” warned Huang Haoshan, a dark look in his eye.

Fang Lin smirked, “Since you’re so eager, I’ll choose you.”

Upon hearing this, Huang Haoshan looked smugly at the other three challengers before stepping into the middle of the arena to face Fang Lin.

Seeing this, Zhao Shenji and the others stepped back, a look of resentment on their faces. They’d been outplayed by Huang Haoshan, who was using this opportunity to assert his dominance.

At the Meng Kingdom side, Huang Rulong, wearing a cold smirk, had instructed Fang Lin privately beforehand to give Huang Haoshan a harsh lesson. Now was the perfect opportunity.

“You have a good eye for choosing the right adversary,” Huang Haoshan said with a mocking tone.

Wearing a slight smile, Fang Lin retorted, “Do you think you can easily defeat me?”

Huang Haoshan scoffed, “Don’t you find yourself hilarious? Why can’t you just stick to being a pill refiner? What are you doing here? This is no place for weak pill refiners like you. But since you’re here, you better prepare yourself for a beating.”

As he said this, Huang Haoshan’s snide expression became even more pronounced.

Fang Lin sighed, “Even though I have no grievance against your Huang Family, your contempt towards me still annoys me a lot.”

“What if I look down on you?” Huang Haoshan laughed. He suddenly stomped the ground, charging at Fang Lin like a flood dragon escaping from a hole.

Fang Lin remained expressionless. In the face of the charging Huang Haoshan, he made no unnecessary movements, just a simple punch.

Boom!

The punch Huang Haoshan threw collided with Fang Lin’s in a flash. Contrary to everyone’s expectations, Huang Haoshan was forced to stumble back a few steps, while Fang Lin remained unmoved.

“What? Fang Lin is so strong!”

“Something’s not right, isn’t Fang Lin a pill refiner?”

“Something fishy is going on here! There must be!”

···

Many people stared in shock, especially those from the Huang Family in Meng Kingdom, their faces twisted with discomfort.

Huang Rulong remained relatively calm, knowing that Huang Haoshan had not exerted his full strength in that punch. Nevertheless, Fang Lin’s performance was somewhat astonishing. Is this guy really just a pill refiner? How can his martial arts be so extraordinary?

Could it be that this guy is the legendary alchemy and martial genius?

Huang Haoshan, having gained no advantage from that punch, instead being pushed back a few steps, found this situation utterly unacceptable and his expression turned dark.

“Oh my, your punch is really hard,” Fang Lin exaggeratedly said.

Enraged, Huang Haoshan held nothing back as he threw another punch, this one imbued with all his strength. The punch was powerful and fierce, like a herd of stampeding horses.

“Bring it!” Fang Lin shouted loudly, opting for direct confrontation rather than evasion.
