580. Chapter 580 Soul Competition (1/2)

On the top of the Dan Pagoda, a man with an elegant temperament saw the crowd gathered at the entrance of the Dan Pagoda's registration office from a distance, with slight doubts in his eyes.

"Huh? Why is the registration office so noisy today?"

After the man asked, the Danta staff on the side explained to him respectfully.

"Back to Master Xuan Kongzi, because of the rule that Elder Xuanyi made specifically for the Ye family, the Ye family specially hired an alchemist to compete with Miss Cao Ying in soul power today."

The Danta staff's answer immediately revealed the man's identity. He was actually Xuan Kongzi, one of the three giants of the Danta with Xuan Yi!

"Oh? Did the Ye family find someone to help?"

Xuan Kongzi looked a little surprised. The ancestor originally gave the Ye family the punishment of being expelled from the five major families and banned from the competition for thirty years. After taking office, Xuan Yi thought it was not enough, so he added another one privately. If the Ye family wanted to participate after the ban was lifted, The Danhui must find someone to compete with Cao Ying for soul power, and only after winning can he participate in the Danhui.

Although this request is a bit outrageous, considering Xuan Yi's identity and the things the Ye family has done, no one thinks there is a problem.

However, those who want to compete with the Cao family enchantress in soul power must be at least a seventh-grade alchemist or above.

However, it is a pity that since the Ye family made a big mistake and was expelled from the five major families, the overall power of the Ye family has declined rapidly in these years. They should not have the extra financial resources to hire a seventh-grade or above alchemist to help.

Ye Zhen, the head of the Ye family, also has average alchemy talent, and is currently only a fifth-grade alchemist.

Although I heard that her daughter Ye Xinlan was slightly better and had just passed the sixth-grade alchemist exam a few days ago.

However, compared with Cao Ying, he is still far behind, and Ye Zhen himself knows this very well.

Who is the person that the Ye family asked to help today?

"Xuan Kongzi."

A calm voice reached Xuan Kongzi's ears. Xuan Kongzi turned his head slightly and smiled softly when he saw the person coming.

"I thought you wouldn't make it back."

"Dan Gui is such an important thing. If I can't come back in time, I don't know how many people will gossip about it."

The person who came was a steady man with a solemn face and a beard. Anyone who saw this man at first glance would think that he was a militant person.

However, in fact, this man is the last member of the Danta Big Three.

The name is Tianleizi.

"How did the outing turn out?"

Xuan Kongzi asked with a smile, while Tianleizi showed a little displeasure and waved his hand impatiently.

"Don't mention it now. I've been going around Zhongzhou for a long time, but I can't find a single alchemist that I can catch my eye."

Saying this, Tianleizi also felt deeply depressed.

Xuan Yi accepted the demon girl from the Cao family as his disciple, and Xuan Kongzi accepted Dan Chen from the Dan family as his disciple. They were both one of the three giants of the Dan Pagoda. It would be a shame not to accept a genius.

Originally, he was optimistic about Song Qing, but as a result, that boy became the youngest alchemy elder early on, and his family had no shortage of alchemy teachers, so Tianleizi had to give up.

"Well, let's put my matters aside for now. This time I heard some terrible news." Tianleizi frowned, looked at Xuankongzi and said solemnly: "You know about the Sifang Pavilion conference some time ago, right?"

"Well, doesn't Sifang Pavilion hold it every year? What's wrong?"

Xuan Kongzi raised his eyebrows lightly, and Tianleizi continued.

"I heard that at the Sifang Pavilion conference, Yao Chen's disciples participated as representatives of Xingyun Pavilion."

"Huh?!" Xuan Kongzi was suddenly startled, "Her disciple? Han Feng?"

"It doesn't seem to be the case. I heard it's a man named Xiao Yan."

".Is it possible that it's an imposter?"

Xuan Kongzi's eyes became colder. Yao Shen had disappeared for so many years, why did a disciple other than Han Feng suddenly appear?

However, after asking this question, Xuan Kongzi realized how stupid his question was, and raised his hand and waved it lightly.

"forget it."

Forget it in other places, Feng Xian, who claimed to be Yao Shen's disciple at the Sifang Pavilion Conference, would not let him go if he was really a fake.

From this point of view, Xiao Yan's claim to be Yao Shen's disciple should be true.

"Ha~ That female gangster, I haven't seen her for so many years, so I thought something had happened."

Xuan Kongzi smiled in relief. Although he, like everyone else, had a deep understanding of Yao Shen's bad character, it was just the same.

Although this woman Yao Shen has a bad personality and is hated by others, she is by no means a bad person.

On the contrary, the people who have received her help are far more than the people she has deceived, and this woman's method of deceiving people has always been to reach the bottom line, which is just above the other party's bottom line. This can be regarded as a kind of It's up to you.

But for Xuan Yi personally, he probably hates medicine to the extreme.

"Huh? Wait?"

Xuan Kongzi was suddenly startled, looking at the huge crowd outside the Danta registration office, and a guess suddenly emerged in his mind.

Speaking of the reason why the Ye family ended up in such a situation, Yao Shen was definitely responsible for this irresistible problem. It can be said that the Ye family and Yao Shen had a close relationship.

Some time ago, a disciple who claimed to be Yao Shen appeared, and today the Ye family brought people to compete with Cao Ying for soul power. Isn't this timing too coincidental?

"Xuan Kongzi, what's wrong?"

Looking at Xuan Kongzi who was suddenly stunned, Tianleizi raised his eyebrows in confusion. Xuan Kongzi did not answer, but said lightly.

"Let's go down and take a look together."

After saying that, Xuan Kongzi's figure disappeared from the spot. Although Tianleizi was strange, he also flashed and followed Xuan Kongzi to the outside of the Alchemy Pagoda registration office. He stood in mid-air and looked down at the people in the field. situation.

"Elder Xuanyi, long time no see."

I saw Ye Zhen saluting Xuanyi respectfully, his posture obviously lowered.

In terms of strength and status, he, the head of the Ye family, is far inferior to Xuan Yi, but Ye Zhen still has this self-awareness.

Although the rules Xuan Yi set for the Ye family were indeed a bit arrogant, but thinking about what the Ye family had done in the past, it can only be said that Xuan Yi's arrogance still showed mercy.

Ye Zhen's greeting made Xuan Yi look away from Xiao Yan, glanced at Ye Zhen with his beautiful eyes, and said calmly.

"No need for greetings. I'm here today just to fulfill the previous regulations for your Ye family."

After saying that, Xuan Yi turned his head slightly and glanced at Cao Ying. Cao Ying nodded and stood on the ring, staring closely at Xiao Yan beside Ye Zhen.

"Cao Ying, please give me some advice."

After Cao Ying announced her family status, Xiao Yan immediately stood on the stage.

"A guest of the Ye family, Xiao Yan."

Xiao Yan? Is it really him? !

When Xuan Kongzi heard Xiao Yan's self-reported name, his guess was verified. Tianleizi also looked at Xiao Yan in shock.

"That boy is Yao Chen's new disciple?"

"Haha~ It would be terrible if Xuan Yi knew about this."

Xuan Kongzi put his hands behind his back and smiled softly.

Xuan Yi below also noticed the two people standing in mid-air, thinking that they were just here to watch the battle, so he ignored them. Immediately, Xuan Yi stepped onto the ring in a flash and stood between Xiao Yan and Cao Ying. He glanced at the two of them with beautiful eyes and opened his seductive red lips slightly.

"Are you all ready?"

"Um."

Xiao Yan and Cao Ying nodded in agreement at the same time, Xuan Yi slowly raised his hand and said loudly.

"Then the first part of the soul competition begins now."

Xuan Yi waved his hand lightly, and a stone tablet as tall as a person appeared on the stage. Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw the stone tablet.

Does it look similar to the stone tablet used to test the family's fighting spirit?

Sure enough, Xuan Yi's subsequent explanation proved Xiao Yan's guess was correct.

"This is a soul-measuring monument. By injecting your soul into it, you can digitize your soul power." Xuan Yi glanced at Xiao Yan and said lightly: "If the gap between your soul power and Cao Ying's is too big, the following steps There’s no need to compare.”

Although Xuan Yi's words may sound cold, there is nothing wrong with them at all. If even the most basic soul power is completely different, then there is really no need to continue to waste time later, and they will definitely lose.

"Thank you, senior, for reminding me. I will do my best, junior."

Xiao Yan nodded heavily, and he could immediately tell from his temperament and words that he was a person who usually paid great attention to self-cultivation. This made Xuan Yi slightly stunned, and his attitude towards Xiao Yan became slightly better.

However, the expressions of Xuan Kongzi and Tianleizi standing in mid-air were a little strange, and they couldn't help but ask questions in their hearts.

Is such a polite kid really a disciple of Yao Shen?

It is true that although Han Feng is not as bad as Yao Shen, he is probably born with a cold temperament, and his attitude towards everyone is neither good nor bad, so he can be accepted if he can do it.

But Xiao Yan is... incomprehensible. This is completely contrary to Yao Shen's character, right?

"Cao Ying, you come first."

Xuan Yi looked at Cao Ying. Cao Ying walked to the soul-measuring monument with long legs. She raised her jade hand slightly and poured her soul power into the soul-measuring monument along the palm of her hand.

Then the soul-measuring stele that received the soul power suddenly shone brightly, piercing the onlookers so hard that they couldn't open their eyes. After a few seconds, when the bright light dissipated, a string of words was revealed on the soul-measuring stele.

【One thousand eight hundred and forty-six】

"One thousand eight hundred and forty-six?!"

"You are truly worthy of being a witch from the Cao family. I heard that few of the alchemy elders can reach this level."

"It seems that only Song Qing and the girl from the Dan family can compare with her peers, but they are still not as good as the enchantress from the Cao family."

"Can this kid do it?"

The surrounding audience burst out in exclamation, and cast suspicious eyes on Xiao Yan. Cao Ying also retreated to her original position, folding her slender arms, and looked at Xiao Yan quietly with her beautiful eyes.

Xiao Yan took a deep breath, and then stepped forward to stand in front of the soul-measuring monument. He raised his hand and reached for the soul-measuring monument. His eyes were full of seriousness, and he poured his soul power into it.

Similar to the Cao family witch, the moment Xiao Yan's soul power was injected into the soul-measuring monument, a bright light suddenly burst out, causing everyone to close their eyes.

When everyone opened their eyes again and saw clearly the values ​​displayed on the soul measuring tablet, everyone was stunned.

One thousand. Eight hundred and forty-six. Huh? !

One thousand eight hundred and forty-six? ! Exactly the same value as Cao Ying! Same score!

Xuan Yi was also stunned when he saw this number. He couldn't help but stepped forward and put his hand on the soul measuring monument to see if it was damaged.

With such a high value, the two are exactly the same, and it's hard not to think that something is wrong.

Xiao Yan also didn't expect that the value he measured was exactly the same as Cao Ying. He stood there waiting for Xuan Yi to announce the result.

After a long time, Xuan Yi took his hand away from the soul-measuring tablet and spoke slowly under everyone's gaze.

"There is no problem with the Soul Measuring Monument. The two of them have indeed scored equally."

Same score! It’s really the same score!

After receiving Xuan Yi's confirmation, the audience immediately became excited. Cao Ying was also shocked and looked at Xiao Yan who breathed a deep sigh of relief in amazement.

Cao Ying was very confident. At least in terms of soul power, no one of her peers could surpass her, not even Song Qing and Dan Chen.

This was the first time she met a peer with the same score as her.

After a brief surprise, Cao Ying's mouth slightly raised.

I thought it was just a small episode before the alchemy meeting.

Now it seems that it is impossible not to be serious.

"You are really worthy of being Yao Chen's disciple. Your soul power is comparable to Cao Ying's."

Xuan Kongzi exclaimed, and Tian Leizi's expression was slightly distorted.

Another monster. Why are these people so lucky in recruiting disciples? Is it just my bad luck?

Just when others were surprised by Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan himself was also secretly confused.

According to what Yao Chen said, his soul power was only a little higher than that of ordinary people. Although his soul power has improved a lot over the years with the improvement of his medicine refining skills, there is no reason to have the same score as Cao Ying, who is rumored to be so popular, right?

Although Xiao Yan was very confused, Yao Chen understood immediately.

Xiao Yan's own soul power certainly cannot reach this level. It is probably related to the soul in his body. It is estimated that Xiao Yan unconsciously absorbed some soul power leaked by the soul.

But no matter what, this first stage was safely passed. Ye Zhen was also excited when he saw that Xiao Yan and Cao Ying had the same score.

Finally! The Ye family finally has hope!

"As expected of the leader Xiao Yan!"

Ye Xinlan waved her fist excitedly, Feng Qing'er smiled at Xiao Yan on the stage and did not say much.

Again, this result is not surprising for Xiao Yan.

"It seems that the Ye family is indeed well prepared this time." Xuan Yi glanced at Xiao Yan lightly, and waved his hand to put away the soul-testing monument, "Then the next step is the second stage."

As Xuan Yi's voice fell, countless beads the size of half a finger appeared in the field and kept jumping up and down. While Xiao Yan was stunned, Xuan Yi explained.

"These beads are called soul-testing beads. They are very light if held by hand, but extremely heavy if held in the soul." Xuan Yi looked at Xiao Yan and said lightly: "What we just compared was the most basic soul power value, and this round is about soul control."

"Within ten seconds after I shout start, the two of you will use your soul power to catch the soul beads. As long as the soul power you catch is less than 10% of Cao Ying's, you will pass."

The simple and clear rules made Xiao Yan's heart tighten.

The simpler the rules, the more emphasis is placed on one's own strength.

The previous competition was only about talent, and this round is a real competition of the abilities of both parties.

Xuan Yi stepped back slightly and slowly raised his hand.

"Get ready."

Cao Ying's face was serious, and Xiao Yan's nerves were also tense.

A few seconds later, Xuan Yi's eyes were stern, and he waved his hand that was raised high.

"Begin!" (End of this chapter)
