Chapter 1178: Little Thief Cao, You Bring Disgrace upon Yourself
In the southern part of the outer area of Shengdan City, at the place where the Danta branch tower was tested, the tightly closed heavenly gate finally opened again with a slight creaking sound.
At this moment, whether it was Ye Zhong and Ye Xinlan who were waiting at the door, or those who were observing secretly, they all cast their eyes towards the door.
A figure of a white-haired old man walked out slowly. At this moment, Han Li was frowning slightly, shaking his head and sighing softly, while Xu Xin, who was following behind him, still had no alchemist badge on his chest.
In this situation, the reactions of the few people who were observing secretly were different. Some impatient people even whispered and mocked, saying that the person of the Ye family started the seventh-grade alchemist test but failed, and Chunchun was just asking for trouble.
"Young man from the Ye family, your level is definitely not just the low level of the seventh rank. If you really don't want to try a higher level assessment, you can go to the headquarters for the test if you want. Maybe you can get some opportunities there..."
Han Li frowned and persuaded Xu Xin. During the assessment just now, he clearly felt that Xu Xin was not serious at all. This boy's level is definitely not just the low level of the seventh rank. According to his estimation, it is not difficult for him to pass the intermediate level of the seventh rank. He may even be a high-level alchemist of the seventh rank.
If such a talent is introduced to the attention of the big figures of Danta through him, it will be a good thing for him and the Ye family.
"Elder Han Li, forget it now. I will go to the Danta headquarters after the assessment in a few days..."
Xu Xin naturally planned to go to the Danta headquarters, but he would never go there in obscurity like now. Instead, he would do something big to publicize his name first and let the real high-level of Danta pay attention to it. The best opportunity to become famous in the near future is the assessment of the five major families.
"I forgot that with your strength, you might be able to win the first prize in this assessment."
"Brother Ye Zhong, your Ye family is still lucky!"
Elder Han Li sighed. While he was speaking, he took out a badge that flashed dazzling light from his ring and handed it to Xu Xin with a little politeness.
Xu Xin took a look at it in his palm. The badge was dark gold in color. The pattern of a towering tower was surrounded by flames. Seven dazzling purple-gold stars flashed on the tower, but the seventh star now looked very dim.
"Did you pass the assessment?"
"The Ye family really has a young seventh-grade alchemist."
"This assessment is interesting."
"Cao Dan, didn't you say before that they were humiliating themselves!"
In the room on the second floor, the few people who were secretly observing changed the topic and started discussing again. When a rather impatient person saw the badge, his face was particularly ugly. After a moment of silence, he pushed the door and walked out directly.
"Elder Ye, Miss Xinlan, long time no see!"
Outside the Tianzi Gate, Xu Xin, Ye Zhong, and Ye Xinlan said goodbye to Elder Han Li and were about to leave. Unexpectedly, a voice came from behind, and a rather anxious footstep quickly went around them, and a man in a purple alchemist robe appeared in their sight.
This young man is quite young and handsome, but under that handsomeness, it is difficult to hide a bit of arrogance.
Of course, with the badge on his chest, no one would say anything about this arrogance, because he has the qualifications.
The badge on his chest is light blue, with a faint flame, and the flames also surround the Tongtian Giant Tower. Six bright purple gold stars flash on the tower, which is extremely dazzling.
A sixth-grade senior alchemist in his twenties is an absolute genius even in Zhongzhou, where there are many talented people and strong people.
"Cao Dan, what are you doing here!"
Ye Xinlan looked at the young man in front of her, and couldn't help showing a trace of disgust in her eyes.
The Cao family of Danyu proposed marriage to the Ye family, with the intention of annexing the Ye family.
Because of this incident, Ye Xinlan naturally hated the Cao family, and even more so Cao Dan, who almost made a marriage contract with her.
"Xinlan, this is the toad from the Cao family who wanted to eat swan meat that you mentioned."
Xu Xin's words here instantly broke the defense of Cao Dan, who was originally smiling. When he saw Xu Xin's hand ring on Ye Xinlan's waist, he felt even more furious.
"Although you are a seventh-grade alchemist, you have humiliated my Cao family. Although Cao Dan is not strong enough, I must ask for your advice."
A trace of anger appeared on Cao Dan's face, and he said sternly: "If you are still a man, then accept my challenge. You and I are both alchemists. Let's compete in fire control skills according to the rules of alchemists."
After he said this, before Xu Xin could speak, a ball of light black flame suddenly rose from Cao Dan's palm, and then it quickly squirmed in his palm, turning into two black little snakes, constantly shuttling back and forth between his fingers, as clever as elves.
"Little thief Cao, you humiliated yourself."
Xu Xin glanced at him and just said eight words calmly.
"It's not certain who is asking for trouble."
The smile on Cao Dan's face became more and more intense, and he introduced proudly: "My origin fire is called Tianyin Demon Fire, which is taken from the eighth-level demon beast Tianyin Three-Headed Lion..."
He took a step forward and flicked his finger. The light black flame on his palm suddenly surged up, quickly crawling above his head, condensing into a pitch-black giant eagle, surrounded by flames, gloomy and weird.
The black flame giant eagle circled above Cao Dan's head, making a sharp eagle cry, and when he introduced it, there was some pride in his eyes.
Although this Tianyin Demon Fire cannot be compared with the strange fire, its power is also very good. In order to obtain this flame, the Cao family spent a lot of effort and asked Dou Zun to do it personally.
Xu Xin glanced at the black giant eagle. This guy's arrogance was not without reason. He could control the flame so skillfully. Ordinary alchemists could not compare with him.
However, this little Cao thief was too stubborn.
The sound of the eagle's cry quickly approached, and the pitch-black fire eagle played by Cao Dan had already pounced on Xu Xin and Ye Xinlan.
"Don't overestimate your own ability and bring shame upon yourself!"
Xu Xin simply commented on eight words, then flicked his finger, and a wisp of black flame quickly surged, turning into a pitch-black phoenix in a few breaths.
The void quickly rippled, and in Cao Dan's horrified eyes, the black phoenix swallowed the little black eagle in one gulp, and Cao Dan also spurted out a mouthful of blood at this moment.
Although he had not lost the original flame, he was robbed of a stream of original flame energy in an instant, and he also suffered a serious backlash.
Xu Xin waved his hand to kill Cao Dan's fire beast, and was too lazy to look at this toad-like Cao thief. He slightly exerted force on the arm around Ye Xinlan's waist and turned to leave with the beauty.
"You... the Cao family will not let you go..."
Cao Dan staggered and said this, and fell to the ground.
"I'll wait..."
Xu Xin did not turn his head, but just one sentence reached Cao Dan's ears from afar, and it was like the last straw that broke his back.
The next moment, this genius of the Cao family, who ranked among the top three in the contemporary era, fell to the ground with his eyes rolled up and closed.
