Chapter 1757 The Killing Power of a Smile

Seeing his granddaughter's shocked look, Liao Zhenshan didn't comfort her. Instead, he thought about his next steps if Lu Zijia really managed to refine the Mystic Golden Core Pill.

To be able to refine a Mystic Golden Core Pill at the high level of the Mystic Rank, Lu Zijia must have some secrets.

Thinking of this, a hint of greed flashed through Liao Zhenshan's eyes.

As Lu Zijia and Helian Qiguang started refining pills, the originally noisy crowd below the arena gradually quietened down.

As time passed quickly, the strong fragrance of pills that were about to be formed floated out of Helian Qiguang and Lu Zijia's furnaces at the same time.

Du Yu, who was below the arena, was so excited that her face was flushed.

Lu Zijia was only one step away from condensing the pill. As long as she succeeded, she would win the bet!

However, compared to Du Yu's excitement, many people's faces darkened.

Especially Helian Qiguang, who was fighting with Lu Zijia. Mentally, he became unstable, and almost caused the refinement to fail.

Sensing Helian Qiguang's resentful gaze, Lu Zijia looked up and gave him a very "friendly" bright smile while being clueless.

Bang!

Under Lu Zijia's "friendly" smile, Helian Qiguang's mind instantly collapsed, causing the furnace to suddenly explode.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly. Otherwise, he wouldn't just be covered in dust.

Seeing this scene, Lu Zijia blinked innocently. When did her smile become so lethal?

"Lu Zijia, you cheated!"

Helian Qi stepped on the fragments of the furnace with his bare feet and pointed at Lu Zijia angrily.

Lu Zijia was amused, but she ignored him.

And Mu Tianyan, who was below the arena, said for once, "Don't make excuses for your failure. People will only think that it's a joke."

"Right, you said Junior Sister Lu cheated. She's still refining pills properly. How did she trick you?"

"Helian Qiguang, do you think everyone here is blind?"

"Hahaha… Who was the one who said not to agree if you can't afford to lose? Now that you've lost, you can't afford to lose again?"

"Fortunately, Junior Sister Lu had a backup plan. Otherwise, you would really go back on your word."

"Everyone, calm down first. Let's talk after Junior Sister Lu refines the pills. Don't affect her."

"Right, right, right, we almost fell into an intermediate trap. The one who tricked us was that bastard, Helian Qiguang!"

The students of the Martial Arts Department quickly quietened down and waited for victory to come.

However, because of the reminder by the students of the Martial Arts Department, Helian Qiguang immediately had a plan.

"Lu Zijia, it's you. You used a mental attack on me just then, right?"

Helian Qiguang targeted Lu Zijia again and even approached her angrily.

"Bastard from the Alchemy Hall, if you take another step, believe it or not, I'll break your legs!"

Du He flashed and appeared in front of the arena, glaring at Helian Qiguang, who tried to disturb Lu Zijia's refining of pills.

As soon as Du He finished talking, a slender figure jumped onto the arena and shielded Lu Zijia, who was condensing a pill, behind him.

Feeling the powerful pressure enveloping him, Helian Qiguang's face turned pale. When he saw the person in front of him, his eyes were full of hatred.

Suddenly, a dark glint flashed through Helian Qiguang's eyes. He said agitatedly to the middle-aged mentor standing at the edge, "Teacher, they're cheating. They're cheating together!"

Immediately, Helian Qiguang turned around and accused Lu Zijia again, "Lu Zijia, you're too despicable. In order to win this competition, you actually attacked me publicly with your mental power. Let me tell you, I won't admit loss to this battle!"
