Chapter 723 Asking for Trouble

Su Xiao's appearance not only surprised Zuo Feng, but also Hua Qi, who seemed to know everything very well.

Although the city lord You was also surprised by this, he did not say a word. Zhong Lao Ben also seemed to have something to say, but after all, he was not responsible for the second game, so he could only swallow all his words.

Su Xiao ignored the opinions of the people around him and walked straight towards the black crystal. Under the gaze of everyone, he raised his palm and directly placed it on the black crystal, and actually started his perception directly.

Before him, whether it was Zuo Feng or Hua Qi, everyone was told the length of time for perception. But Su Xiao did not wait for the time to be given, and chose to perceive it just like that, but everyone could guess that this should be related to Su Lan's previous arrangement.

Half a minute passed in a blink of an eye, and Su Xiao had no intention of withdrawing, and the city lord You did not stop him. A quarter of an hour later, Su Xiao did not have any other reaction, and had no intention of withdrawing within the time limit of a quarter of an hour.

His interference had already made those who participated in the competition dissatisfied. After all, they were all those who had finally stayed after being eliminated in the first round. Su Xiao did not pass the written test, but directly participated in the second round of the competition, and he got the benefits right away.

Some people might not care about getting benefits, but he was actually allowed to comprehend for a quarter of an hour by default. You should know that before this, only Zuo Feng, Hua Qi and three others had such treatment.

Under the gaze of everyone, Su Xiao had survived a quarter of an hour and there was no sign of being pushed away. Everyone looked at Su Xiao with a slightly shrunken look. In their opinion, if they could survive a quarter of an hour, they would definitely get great benefits.

Only Zuo Feng, who was meditating with his eyes closed, raised his mouth slightly. He knew clearly that these people had no idea what was going on after a quarter of an hour of comprehending, or even the city lord Nayou might not really know. He would not reveal everything he knew to anyone, nor would he let anyone know how much benefit he had gained.

Before everyone could see anything, people with extremely high cultivation had already discovered the difference in Su Xiao. The blood vessels under Su Xiao's clothes were constantly bulging, especially at the neck and forehead. If you look closely, you will find that the blood vessels were trembling slightly while bulging.

After seeing this, Su Lan frowned immediately, and almost turned to look at Zuo Feng at the same time as several people around her. These people had roughly the same idea as Su Lan. It takes not only ability, cultivation, and perseverance to comprehend this black crystal. Of course, they also guessed that there might be some special means.

But Su Xiao's cultivation has already approached the peak of the tendon-hardening period. Compared with the many contestants present, this cultivation can't be put on the same platform.

With this absolute gap in strength, it can be said that no matter what the premise is, a more ideal result should be obtained. Of course, this idea is also normal under normal circumstances. It is also normal for Su Lan, Yao Zhen and Zhong Lao to think so. I am afraid that only the city lord and Zuo Feng understand the real situation.

After struggling for less than two breaths, Su Xiao was already shaking violently all over, and even countless spiritual energy was vented in his body. Even so, Su Xiao still refused to give up, still holding on with gritted teeth, and this perseverance actually made Zuo Feng open his eyes.

Zuo Feng didn't know much about Su Xiao, but at this time he had to admire him a little. He might know better than anyone how terrifying the repulsive force of this black crystal is. If there is no special means to deal with it, then the torture to the warrior is not only physical, but also a huge mental torture.

However, Zuo Feng's eyes were filled with a trace of regret, because he knew clearly that Su Xiao was completely abusing himself by doing this.

If the black crystal is not dealt with by brute force without finding the right method, it will only cause great harm to oneself, and the benefits that should be obtained will become less and less.

Su Lan is indeed one of the most skilled masters in the Su family. After seeing the problem, his body disappeared from the spot in a flash, and when he appeared, he was already beside Su Xiao.

The speed of this movement is terrifying. Even Zuo Feng did not find how the other party moved over. With his keenness, he could only slightly see a little afterimage in the air.

After Su Lan came to Su Xiao's side, she slapped Su Xiao's shoulder without hesitation, but Su Xiao did not move at all, and blood suddenly spurted out from his mouth and nose. This change made everyone who saw it laugh secretly. Before, they were very unhappy that Su Xiao had been allowed to participate in the competition after comprehending.

Seeing that Su Xiao had suffered such a big loss, they were naturally very happy, but they did not dare to say a word because of Su Lan's terrifying power.

Su Lan's palm did not interrupt Su Xiao's perception, and he was also very shocked. Just when his palm was on Su Xiao's shoulder, it seemed that there was a huge force in the other party's body that was released, and it was able to completely dissolve his palm power.

Zuo Feng frowned, but he was one of the few people who could see the clues. This Su Xiao had the same idea as himself at the beginning, wanting to force the energy in the crystal to stay, but he did not have his ability to separate many mixed energies, so he just used brute force to keep it.

The result of this practice is that a lot of energy is constantly venting out of the body. This kind of venting is terrible. Not only will the energy that cannot be absorbed be lost, but it will also burn and consume part of one's own cultivation.

This Su Lan probably had some feeling, and guessed that if it continued, Su Xiao would not only not get any benefit, but would be in danger of falling in cultivation, so he did not hesitate to interrupt it.

However, the energy accumulated in Su Xiao's body at this time was too huge, and his own cultivation and spiritual power were strong, which made Su Xiao's palm unable to interrupt it. But this palm was not completely ineffective. The palm hitting Su Xiao's body temporarily stopped this loss.

Su Lan was worthy of her ** cultivation, and her reaction was also first-class and quick. After the palm did not work, she exhaled and shouted loudly: "Keep your mind tight, eliminate distractions, don't stick to external things, don't cling to those useless things."

It is unknown what means were used to say this, but it actually echoed in this huge deep pit for a few breaths, and even the sound made a clanging sound like metal collision after hitting the surrounding mountain walls.

When he was in the state of perceiving the black crystal, he could not feel the changes in the outside world at all. But Su Lan forced this way to pull back part of Su Xiao's consciousness, and even heard Su Lan's instructions clearly.

After hearing Su Lan's instructions, Su Xiao's originally ferocious and persistent face actually relaxed a little.

The many energies in his body that originally belonged to the black crystal suddenly rolled back like a tsunami after he relaxed. Su Lan's eyes suddenly shone with brilliance. Zuo Feng, who was watching from afar, also noticed this scene and secretly mobilized his spiritual energy to circulate in his eyes.

At this moment, Zuo Feng not only saw the changes in Su Lan's eyes, but also saw the strange scene of spiritual energy outside Su Xiao's body. At this moment, the spiritual power and energy that were originally flowing around Su Xiao's body rushed back into his body at the same time, and then went to the palm connected to the black crystal.

Su Lan raised her hands, and her index and middle fingers were put together and continuously rained down on Su Xiao's body. Every time her fingers fell on the other's body, Su Xiao's body trembled uncontrollably, and even jumped strangely on the spot.

Most people didn't see the clues, but Zuo Feng couldn't help but secretly praise Su Lan's strength. The energy in Su Xiao's body was rolling back at this time, and there was even a tendency to absorb his spiritual power and cultivation.

It's like drinking water in big gulps when you are thirsty, but in the end you get hit hard in the abdomen. Not only will you spit out the water you drank before, but you will also spit out the food and water that were originally in your stomach.

This consequence is extremely serious for a warrior. Once your cultivation level drops in this situation, it will take a lot of effort to recover, and it is even possible that you will stay at this level for life.

This Su Lan, relying on her rich experience and profound cultivation, sent her own spiritual power through the opponent's acupoints at the critical moment. On the surface, it seemed as if she was going to block all the spiritual energy of the opponent, but in fact, she was helping the opponent to stabilize the restless spiritual power.

If Su Lan had used this method on him last night, I believe Zuo Feng would not have suffered so much.

After a while, Su Xiao slowly opened his eyes, his clothes were almost soaked with sweat, and he looked at Su Lan with shame in his eyes. He seemed to want to say something, but was finally stopped by Su Lan.

Su Lan didn't say much, and he was a little embarrassed to say anything else. He had rudely inserted Su Xiao into the competition. But now, because of his arrangement, Su Xiao's cultivation almost regressed, which was actually a bit like slapping himself in the face.

Watching Su Xiao walk unsteadily towards the corner, the city lord said, "Since everyone has completed their comprehension, the next step should be the competition.

This black crystal is quite special. Everyone has only one chance to comprehend in their lifetime, even the supreme masters who have reached the spirit refining stage. And only those who have experienced comprehension are qualified to send a year into the crystal, and can fight through the thoughts projected into the crystal."

He looked up and glanced at everyone, then smiled and continued, "Then let's start the competition. I hope everyone will work hard and not leave any regrets."
