581. Chapter 581 The Dead Are Not Eligible for a Rematch (1/2)
The moment Xuan Yi's voice fell, Xiao Yan immediately released his soul power, concentrated his mind and turned his soul power into an invisible big hand, stretched out in mid-air to catch the soul-measuring beads bouncing up and down.
And when Xiao Yan clicked on the giant soul hand and received the first one, his expression suddenly changed.
Heavy! Good weight!
As Xuan Yi said, these soul-testing beads may seem small, but they are a heavy burden for soul power!
Although Xiao Yan already thought that he was taking it seriously, the weight of the soul-measuring bead was still far beyond his expectation, and Xiao Yan was shocked for a moment by this unexpected situation.
After the first soul-measuring bead, more than a dozen more landed on the giant soul hand. Xiao Yan, who was unprepared for a moment, almost crushed the soul-measuring bead that he had just condensed into the giant soul hand.
Everyone could clearly see that Xiao Yan's movements became obviously panicked, and there were big beads of sweat on his forehead, and it was very difficult to stabilize the giant soul hand.
"Mr. Xiao Yan, it seems that you don't look good."
Just when Xiao Yan was relieved, Cao Ying's leisurely voice reached Xiao Yan's ears.
Xiao Yan looked around and his pupils shrank slightly.
In just a few seconds after the opening ceremony, when she had received only a dozen soul-measuring beads, more than thirty soul-measuring beads were already floating in front of Cao Ying. Now this number has increased visibly to the naked eye. Obviously, Cao Ying Ying is already familiar with the process of testing soul beads.
"Mr. Xiao Yan, I would like to remind you something." Cao Ying narrowed her eyes slightly and said very relaxedly: "The number of soul-measuring beads I could catch three years ago was eighty-nine."
Eighty-nine? !
Xiao Yan's expression became more serious. This amount completely exceeded his expectation.
And Xiao Yan heard clearly that Cao Ying was talking about three years ago, and she can definitely handle more now!
Xiao Yan, who understood this, no longer dared to relax even a little bit. He worked hard to stabilize the giant soul hand and at the same time, he tried his best to receive as many soul-testing beads as possible.
As time went by, more and more soul-testing beads floated in front of Cao Ying, but her expression remained so indifferent.
On the other hand, the soul-testing orb in front of Xiao Yan was only half as good as Cao Ying's. This scene was also honored to be ridiculed by many spectators on the sidelines.
"Hey~ I just saw that he and Cao Ying had the same score, and I thought he was a cruel person. This is too different, right?"
"Really, what a pity that talent is."
"This is a pure waste of nature. If I had his soul power, I would definitely receive more than him!"
Xiao Yan, who was fully focused on the competition, had no time to pay attention to the many sarcasm in the audience. In other words, even if Xiao Yan heard it, he would not think there was anything wrong with what they said.
What they said was indeed correct. They clearly had the same soul value as Cao Ying, but the gap turned out to be so huge in the second round. It was indeed not worthy of their first round value.
However, although Xiao Yan had no time to care about other people's opinions, Feng Qing'er in the audience was not willing to listen.
"Hey, you guys."
Feng Qing'er's power instantly overwhelmed the people who were talking about it. Everyone suddenly felt their bodies sink, and looked at Feng Qing'er with a frightened look in their eyes.
Could this coercion be Dou Zun? !
While everyone was in shock, Feng Qing'er glanced at them coldly, her green eyes filled with golden light, invisibly beating everyone's heart.
"Just watch the competition and keep your mouth shut."
The Dou Zun-level warning was so intimidating that all those who had mocked Xiao Yan just now became mute. Ye Zhen and Ye Xinlan felt a complete sense of security from Feng Qing'er.
It's time to say it or not, Dou Zun is so stubborn that no one dares to say no even if he threatens so many people in public.
When Xuan Kongzi saw Feng Qing'er's performance in mid-air, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Should I say that he is worthy of being a disciple of Lord Lei? His violent temper and protective character are quite similar."
Speaking of which, the relationship between Master Lei and Yao Shen was extremely bad, but the disciples of the two seemed to get along quite well, which was unpredictable.
Immediately, Xuan Kongzi looked at Xiao Yan, narrowed his eyes slightly, and Tianleizi on the side said.
"This kid's soul value is so high, why is his soul control so regrettable?"
"You can't blame him. The soul-measuring beads are unique to Shengdan City. He probably hasn't come into contact with them before. It's normal for him to find them difficult at first."
Xuan Kongzi defended Xiao Yan softly, and it was indeed the case.
Although the difference in soul-measuring beads between Xiao Yan and Cao Ying is indeed a bit large now, the larger number is due to Xiao Yan being caught off guard by the weight of the soul-measuring beads. Now, although Cao Ying still has a far greater number than Xiao Yan, but there is no bigger gap between him and Xiao Yan.
Cao Ying naturally noticed this, her beautiful eyes were slightly raised, and there was a little self-doubt in her eyes.
If Xiao Yan hadn't been careless at first, could he really have opened such a big gap with him?
After thinking for only two or three seconds, Cao Ying came up with the answer.
It should be... No, except at the beginning, Xiao Yan's speed of collecting the soul-measuring beads is now completely on par with his own.
He already knew the Soul Testing Beads well, but Xiao Yan was just a novice who had just come into contact with the Soul Testing Beads.
Thinking like this, Cao Ying suddenly felt that she was a little overwhelmed.
Why don't you slow down a little?
This idea popped up in Cao Ying's mind. Just as she was about to take action, her eyes suddenly froze.
Xiao Yan gritted his teeth, opened his hands suddenly, and controlled his soul power in the shocked eyes of Xuan Yi and Cao Ying, and actually separated a second soul giant hand.
This scene made Cao Ying stunned in place, and her mind was slightly confused.
Could this guy want to separate another soul giant hand to receive the soul-testing beads?
Impossible!
Cao Ying immediately denied the correctness of Xiao Yan's behavior. As more and more soul-testing beads were received, the pressure on the soul giant hand was getting heavier. If the spirit was not concentrated on the same hand, it would be difficult to bear it.
In this case, let alone receiving more soul-testing beads, it is very likely that even the soul-testing beads that were originally received will fall to the ground!
Xiao Yan had no idea of Cao Ying's thoughts at this time. Now he had only one cognition in his mind.
If he continued to seek stability, he would definitely lose this round!
Since it was a loss, whether he barely left a few dozen or all fell to the ground, the result would be the same.
If he wanted to win, he had to fight for it!
As Xiao Yan separated his second soul giant hand, the number of soul-testing beads he received also increased exponentially, and the gap with Cao Ying was obviously getting smaller and smaller.
Cao Ying was also increasingly frightened, and she completely gave up the idea of letting him win, and tried to catch more soul-testing beads with all her heart.
What a fart! It is shameful to win unfairly, but wouldn't it be even more shameful if you still lose in this situation? !
As time passed, more and more soul-testing beads floated in front of the two of them, and Xiao Yan was finding it increasingly difficult.
In order to catch up with Cao Ying's progress, he had to maintain two soul giant hands at the same time to bear the increasing number of soul-testing beads, so he didn't dare to be careless at all, and if he was not careful, he would lose everything!
And the audience who had originally mocked Xiao Yan became more and more serious after seeing this scene, and their hearts went from mocking and disdainful at the beginning to cheering for Xiao Yan from the bottom of their hearts in the end.
Hold on, hold on for a little longer.
Xiao Yan gritted his teeth, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he kept giving himself psychological hints in his heart, trying hard not to let the giant soul hand collapse. Every second was a difficult torture for Xiao Yan.
When Xiao Yan was about to collapse, Xuan Yi's voice finally sounded.
"Time is up!"
Xuan Yi's words were like the sound of nature, which also meant the end of this round. When Xiao Yan finally relaxed, Xuan Yi also began to count the number of soul-testing beads they received.
"Cao Ying, one hundred and ninety-six!"
Xuan Yi's verdict made Cao Ying know that her soul control power was much stronger than three years ago, but at this time she had no joy at all, and her eyes were fixed on Xiao Yan.
Xuan Yi also counted the number of soul-testing beads Xiao Yan received at this time, looked at Xiao Yan with astonishment, and read it out loud after a while.
"Xiao Yan, one hundred and ninety-five!"
One less!
One less!
After hearing Xuan Yi's announcement, everyone was shocked at first, and then showed a look of regret without exception.
On the other hand, Cao Ying's heart was already cold to the extreme.
Only one difference. This means that if Xiao Yan had not lost his composure at the beginning, he would have lost!
"One difference?"
Xiao Yan was slightly startled after hearing Xuan Yi's report, and then shrugged lightly, with a very calm expression.
Cao Ying saw Xiao Yan's expression and asked blankly.
"Don't you think it's unfair?"
"Huh? What's unfair?"
Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows in confusion, and Cao Ying stretched out his palm and spoke.
"Everyone can see that you started first because it was your first time to touch the soul bead, and you were not careful enough for a moment, so I pulled you behind. If not, you would definitely win this game, wouldn't you be unwilling to accept it?"
"I'm not as skilled as you, there's nothing to say." Xiao Yan waved his hand lightly and said calmly: "Since you said it was a moment of carelessness, it means I didn't expect it, it's my own problem, I accept my failure."
Don't say that it was because he first touched the soul bead that he lost, Xiao Yan never made any excuses for his failure.
Losing is losing, just win it back next time.
Hearing Xiao Yan's answer, Cao Ying's eyes showed a little strange color.
To be honest, even if Xiao Yan appealed to Xuan Yi, or even asked for a rematch, no one would think that this person couldn't afford to lose, and they would think that Xiao Yan's request was reasonable.
However, Xiao Yan could accept his failure so calmly and didn't make any excuses for his failure.
Strange man.
Unconsciously, Cao Ying's interest in Xiao Yan increased a little bit.
Xuan Yi looked at Xiao Yan with her beautiful eyes for a long time, and asked proactively.
"Xiao Yan, are you sure you don't want to have a rematch?"
While being amazed at Xiao Yan's ability, Xuan Yi knew better than anyone that Cao Ying's victory in this round was indeed unfair, and as a teacher, she was a little embarrassed.
In response to Xuan Yi's question, Xiao Yan waved his hand lightly.
"In a real life-and-death duel, there is no second chance. At least in this round of competition, I'm already dead." Xiao Yan looked at Xuan Yi and said solemnly: "Dead people are not eligible for a rematch."
".Hehe, this is the first time I've seen a young man as serious as you."
Xiao Yan's remarks undoubtedly made Xuan Yi's favor for him greatly increased, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, with recognition in his eyes.
Not only is he outstanding in his own ability, but his character is also so serious and humble. There is really no reason to hate him.
In midair, Xuan Kongzi and Tian Leizi both had distorted expressions, which were the expressions that would appear when they saw something that they couldn't understand.
"Tian Leizi, let me confirm it again." Xuan Kongzi looked at Tian Leizi and pointed at Xiao Yan blankly, "Are you sure this child is Yao Chen's disciple?"
"It should be, right?"
Tian Leizi's expression was so awkward. With Yao Chen's character, could he raise such a disciple? What's the joke?
Even if this kid's character was innate, it would be ridiculous if he was not led astray by Yao Chen, the teacher.
Just as the two people in the air were doubtful, Xuan Yi below turned his eyes to Ye Zhen, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Ye Zhen, you really found an incredible person." Xuan Yi raised his eyebrows lightly and said lightly: "Forget it, for the sake of this child, I approve of your Ye family's re-participation in the Alchemy Conference. The rules I set for your Ye family before will be written off from now on."
! ! !!!
Xuan Yi's words made Ye Zhen suddenly stunned, and then Ye Zhen's face was filled with ecstasy.
With Xuan Yi's words, no matter whether Xiao Yan wins or loses in the next competition, his Ye family can participate in the alchemy meeting! There will be no more restrictions in the future!
"Elder Xuan Yi, thank you!"
Ye Zhen, full of joy, clasped his hands together and thanked Xuan Yi in a solemn voice. Xuan Yi raised his hand lightly and then looked at Xiao Yan.
"Since the Ye family has already obtained the qualification to participate, there is no need to compete in this third game." As he said, Xuan Yi glanced at Cao Ying lightly, "But I, as a disciple, am not a person who gives up easily."
Hearing Xuan Yi's words, Xiao Yan also clearly saw the high morale on Cao Ying's face, which was completely opposite to the indifferent expression at the beginning.
Obviously, Cao Ying was really aroused by Xiao Yan's desire to win this time, and at this time Xuan Yi's voice flowed into Xiao Yan's ears again.
"So, Xiao Yan, can you accompany me to the end of the last round?"
"If Miss Cao Ying has this intention, Xiao Yan is happy to accompany me."
Xiao Yan also agreed. He also wanted to take this rare opportunity to personally experience how big the gap is between himself and a true genius.
After seeing that the two were ready, Xuan Yi opened her red lips and told Xiao Yan the rules of the third round.
"In the third round, you use your soul power to attack the opponent. If one party can't hold on and falls down first or is knocked out of the ring, it will be judged as a loser."
After Xuan Yi finished speaking, Cao Ying suddenly thought of something and looked at Xiao Yan and asked.
"Mr. Xiao Yan, excuse me, have you ever used soul power to fight before?"
"Unfortunately, I have never used it before." Xiao Yan did not hide it, and pressed his neck and replied softly, "But please do not show mercy, Miss Cao Ying, I also want to personally experience what a real battle between soul powers is like."
".Please rest assured, even if you don't say so, I will never let you go."
Cao Ying stared at Xiao Yan closely, her cherry lips slightly opened and closed, the terrifying soul power slowly flowed out, and the expression on her face was also unprecedentedly serious.
Cao Ying narrowed her eyes and said in a deep voice.
"After all, you are not an opponent who can be defeated without being serious." (End of this chapter)
