The Mighty Cauldron: Extreme Alchemist! - Chapter 47

The elder clenched his teeth in rage when he heard the remark. Do you even have a brain, you lard-bucket? Can’t you see that I’m helping you? At once, he tutted, not wishing to be involved in this matter anymore, so he left with a huff.

Yuan Bo did not mind at all when he noticed Elder Lu leave in such a hurry. He continued to block the front of the door and curse aloud.

It continued all the way until night time. Yuan Bo was exhausted from all the screaming, so he asked his friends to bring over some meat and mead. They sat outside the door of alchemy room number nine and began to enjoy the feast. Everyone could see that Yuan Bo was fully determined to block the person inside the alchemy room until the end.

Inside the alchemy room, Fang Lin was fully focused on absorbing the energy from the black cauldron. He was well aware of what was taking place outside the alchemy room naturally, but he paid no attention to it.

If the person outside had spoken politely, perhaps he would have come out and shown his face. However, since the person outside was terribly rude, Fang Lin was not bothered to show any courtesy to this person either.

So, you want me to come out? I won’t come out as you requested then. Anyhow, I’m allowed to remain in the alchemy academy for a year. Do you have the patience to try to exhaust me for a year?

Of course, Fang Lin could not possibly stay in this alchemy room for a year. He could not even stay for ten days. After all, his realm was still considered low at the moment and he was incapable of sustaining for a long period without food and drinks. If he continued to do this for a long time, his blood essence would deteriorate and he would starve to death.

Fang Lin’s limit was ten days. He must leave the alchemy room to eat as soon as ten days were up.

However, he came up with a plan to stay there for ten days. In ten days, he would absorb adequate cauldron energy until he could break through to the level-6 primordial man realm. By then, he would be able to protect himself better when he left the room.

The drama surrounding alchemy room number nine grew more and more intense in those ten days. Many disciples surrounded the place every day to watch Yuan Bo curse and knock on the door. Although a few elders came over to take a look, none of them did anything officially.

In reality, the drama outside the alchemy room was not a rare sight. However, it was considered rather uncommon to see this in the Yellow Building since it happened more frequently in the Black and the Earth Buildings.

After all, the people in the Yellow Building were mostly low-grade disciples. How could they have the courage to fight for an alchemy room with the medium-grade disciples?

Yuan Bo camped outside the alchemy room for seven to eight days, but no one was seen coming out from the room. His heart was filled with enmity and rage.

Many people were secretly elated when they saw Yuan Bo being furious yet helpless every day. They cheered for the person inside the alchemy room in their hearts. After all, Yuan Bo was a local tyrant amongst the official disciples and was known for his notorious reputation. Many people dared not speak up against him despite being bullied by him. They felt delighted upon seeing him being quashed in such a manner.

On the ninth day, Kang Lu could not endure it anymore at last. He began secretly spreading the word that the person in the alchemy room was Fang Lin.

When the crowd learned that it was actually Fang Lin, everyone was beyond surprised.

Many people changed their perception and considered it for a moment. They figured that only the weirdo, Fang Lin, who had the audacity to be lawless out of all the low-grade disciples, would refuse to show any respect for the evil Yuan Bo.

Xu Shangao had been feeling restless and anxious these days. When he instantly found out that it was Fang Lin hiding in the alchemy room all the while, he felt very troubled and began to complain incessantly.

Yuan Bo was unlike Lu Jiuhe. Albeit Lu Jiuhe was a high-grade disciple, he still followed the rules at the very least. However, it was different with Yuan Bo. He was a big bully with his elder father as his backer. He could be described as the little overlord in the alchemy sect who had no care for rules and regulations at all.

Xu Shangao was worried because Fang Lin could not possibly hide inside the alchemy room forever. He was worried that Yuan Bo would beat his friend up as soon as he left the room.

Yuan Bo was known for being savage, ruthless, and aggressive when he beat people up. Xu Shangao felt that Fang Lin was in deep trouble this time no matter how he saw the situation.

Xu Shangao thought of a solution, so he went over to look for Meng Wuyou and Mu Yan. Meng Wuyou did not show up, but Mu Yan had been hanging out in the Yellow Building for the past few days. It was apparent that she was prepared for Fang Lin to make an appearance.

Kang Lu could be described as the most tormented person for the past few days. He wanted to see Fang Lin get beaten up by Yuan Bo eagerly, but that dratted kid did not leave the room after so long. He was suffering badly like a horny ghost that encountered a naked young maiden but could not approach her.

However, Kang Lu could still suppress himself for the time being. He was well aware that Fang Lin would certainly make an appearance. Moreover, it was going to happen within this one or two days.

As expected, on the afternoon of the tenth day, Yuan Bo was about to sit down to rest after exhausting himself scolding Fang Lin when the door of alchemy room number nine suddenly turned green.

Yuan Bo raised his head and looked up to find the door already opened and Fang Lin strutting out. He was stunned for quite a while before he let out a raging roar. He did not allow Fang Lin to explain himself and swung his fist to aim his punch straight for Fang Lin’s face.

Fang Lin frowned ever so slightly. He did not dodge or avoid but stretched out his fist to brace the punch instead.

Bang!

The muffled sound of a collision was heard. Fang Lin’s body swayed ever so slightly while Yuan Bo screamed out before his chubby figure crashed onto the ground ferociously.

The numerous disciples watching were dumbstruck with bewilderment. Each of them was standing still as if they had turned into stone. A hush fell over the entire place.

Yuan Bo was blasted away so hard by Fang Lin’s punch that he toppled to the ground. Other than feeling dizzy and confused, he was dumbfounded.

How did this happen? I’m on the level-6 primordial man realm. How can a low-grade disciple like him strike me so hard that I fell to the ground?

In the next moment, Yuan Bo was angry beyond control as he leaped up like a madman. “I’m going to kill you!” Immediately, he drew a dagger from his waist and aimed it at Fang Lin’s chest.

“Stop!”

“That’s presumptuous!”

“Put the knife down!”

…

A few voices were heard shouting simultaneously. Mu Yan and a few elders came rushing over rapidly, but there was utterly nothing they could do to stop Yuan Bo in such a short time.

It was precisely at this critical moment that Fang Lin reacted as quickly as lightning. He grabbed Yuan Bo’s wrist and twisted it abruptly.

“Ouch!” Yuan Bo shrieked in agony. The dagger in his hand dropped onto the ground while his wrist was twisted into a ghastly position. He gripped his wrist with his other hand. Enormous beads of sweat covered his forehead as he screamed out in distress continuously.

Fang Lin sneered once before he gave him a kick, sending him kneeling on the ground.

Meanwhile, Mu Yan and a few elders made their way to them in a hurry. Every one of them was extremely shocked to witness the scene.

“The audacity, Fang Lin! How dare you hurt my son?!” An enraged roar was heard. A middle-aged man with a stalwart stature appeared with a furious expression as he waved his huge hands about in preparation to capture Fang Lin.

Mu Yan shielded the front of Fang Lin and glared at the man coldly. “Elder Yuan, what are you trying to do?” she said coldly.
