Alchemy & Martial Supreme

In an instant, the sharp blade cut open his palm. Blood stained the blade.    

He firmly held the hilt of the sword, and the sword gave off a light ray of light.    

"Source Device!"    

Someone below the stage cried out in alarm.    

Everyone became nervous.    

"Despicable! He actually used a Source Device in a duel!" Xiao Yun said angrily, "I think we should stop the competition immediately. This competition is not fair."    

Hearing this, Vice Sect Leader and Xi Hsingyuan smiled faintly. "We have never stipulated that the Source Device cannot be used in the competition."    

"The Source Device is a type of strength. Using the Martial Cultivator is very normal."    

"Don't you usually use the Source Device in battles?"    

This rhetorical question made Xiao Yun furious.    

If he were to fight, of course he would use Source Device.    

This was a matter of course.    

However, every battle he fought was a life and death battle, and the battle between Qin Ming and Xi Hsing was only a battle.    

How could this be the same?    

If it was an ordinary Origin Scholar, they would be able to control its power.    

However, could a Source Device, even if it was a peak Origin Scholar, be completely controlled?    

As long as Xi Hsing used the Source Device, he would definitely use all his strength. If he wasn't careful, he would kill Qin Ming.    

Perhaps, he was aiming to kill Qin Ming.    

In a competition of potential, there was no rule that forbade the use of the Source Device.    

The reason was that most Origin Scholar did not have Source Device.    

Furthermore, they knew that it was just a competition, and they could not harm the opponent's life.    

Not being able to use the Source Device, although there was no official announcement of the rules, was actually an unspoken rule.    

However, it was only an unspoken rule. The competition did not explicitly state that they could not use the Source Device.    

Helpless, no matter how many reasons Xiao Yun had, there was nothing he could say. He could only watch the competition on the stage.    

Qi Yi frowned, thinking about how to stop the competition from continuing.    

If it was just now, Qin Ming might have a chance of winning.    

But now, Qin Ming would never win.    

With the Source Device in his hand, Xi Hsing's strength had increased by at least one level.    

As long as Qin Ming was not an Earth Warrior, he would definitely not be able to defeat his opponent.    

Qin Ming could not be an Earth Warrior.    

Earth Warriors weren't qualified to participate in this competition.    

Wouldn't that mean that Qin Ming would definitely lose?    

"Why didn't Qin Ming give up? What is he doing?"    

Qi Yi was puzzled.    

He knew Qin Ming's personality very well. He was very calm and collected.    

If things were not going to work out, he would definitely give up.    

Qin Ming absolutely knew how much the Source Device could increase Xi Hsing's strength.    

Why was Qin Ming still standing calmly on the fighting stage?    

……    

On the stage, after Xi Hsing ignited the power of his origin energy, he looked at Qin Ming with a fierce expression.    

"Qin Ming, don't think that you are so great just because you hit me just now."    

"I was just not serious just now!"    

"Today, I will let you witness my true strength."    

"Origin Scholar, I am the strongest."    

Xi Hsing raised his long sword high up into the air, and streams of Origin Qi appeared in the sky. They were gathering towards the silver sword at a speed visible to the naked eye.    

Qin Ming frowned as he looked at the Origin Qi in the sky.    

The source energy in Skydragon World was very stable, almost invisible.    

Even though he had broken through to the eighth level of the Origin Scholar, he couldn't see the source energy with his naked eyes.    

It seemed like Xi Hsing really hadn't used his strongest attack.    

Or rather, he hadn't looked at him directly from the beginning to the end.    

"Only you have a trump card, but I don't have one?"    

All of a sudden, the battle intent in Qin Ming's chest soared to the sky. A fiery red origin energy cloak appeared behind his back.
