Chapter 429 End of Assessment

"It's time to end this."

Xiao Ling whispered in his heart.

In the red circle, the Sky Demon Marten was fighting fiercely with two phoenixes, a flash of agility suddenly flashed in his eyes. Immediately afterwards, the attack of the Sky Demon Marten became more and more ferocious.

Its body was like lightning, and it quickly shuttled between the two phoenixes. Its sharp claws suddenly swung out, as if a black lightning flashed across, and it rushed towards the two.

"Pfft!" With two sharp sounds, the sharp claws of the Sky Demon Marten instantly pierced the necks of the two phoenixes.

"Yan!" The two phoenixes let out a shrill cry almost at the same time, the sound seemed to be filled with endless pain and unwillingness.

The Sky Demon Marten was unmoved at all, a cold look flashed in its smart eyes.

Immediately afterwards, the Sky Demon Marten opened its mouth, and a powerful devouring power surged out of its mouth, forming a black spiral. The spiral was like a terrifying black hole, exuding powerful suction.

The two phoenixes struggled desperately under the influence of this suction force, but to no avail. In the blink of an eye, the two phoenixes condensed from soul power were sucked directly into the belly of the Sky Demon Marten.

At the same time, Cao Ying and Dan Chen's faces instantly turned pale as paper. They felt a sharp pain deep in their souls, as if they had been slashed by a sharp knife.

The phoenix formed by the condensed soul power was swallowed by the demon marten, and the soul connection between them and the phoenix was also severed at this moment.

Cao Ying swayed slightly, almost losing her balance, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. Danchen clutched his chest tightly, his eyebrows furrowed, and his pain was evident.

The two of them were filled with shock and frustration at this time. They didn't expect Xiao Ling to be so powerful. Even if they join forces, they are not Xiao Ling's enemy.

The surrounding spectators looked at this scene one by one with disbelief on their faces. They had thought that Xiao Ling might win, but they never expected that when Xiao Ling faced Dan Chen and Cao Ying at the same time, he could win so easily and finish so quickly with a crushing force. fighting.

Everyone's eyes widened with shock on their faces, as if they couldn't believe what was happening in front of them. The originally noisy hall became silent at this moment, and everyone was shocked by the powerful strength Xiao Ling showed.

Xiao Ling's thoughts moved, and under his control, the Sky Demon Marten, which was condensed from the power of his soul, instantly burrowed back into Xiao Ling's body like a bolt of black lightning. In the main hall, where the Sky Demon Marten disappeared, the space fluctuated slightly, as if the terrifying soul pressure still remained.

Then, Xiao Ling turned to look at Cao Ying and Dan Chen, who were panting slightly at this time, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a faint smile, and said slowly: "You two, do you still need to continue competing now? ?”

The two looked at each other, showing a wry smile, and then shook their heads in unison.

Cao Ying gently tidied her slightly messy hair, straightened her clothes, and raised her chin slightly. Although there was reluctance in her eyes, she still said calmly: "Master Xiao Ling, I admit defeat. It is true that my skills are inferior to others, and I am convinced. oral."

Dan Chen also nodded slightly and tied his messy hair into two buns on the back of his head. With a helpless smile on his face, he said softly: "I also admit defeat. Master Xiao Ling's soul power is so powerful. I can’t wait to catch up.”

Seeing the two girls surrendering obediently, Xiao Ling nodded slightly. At this moment, he agreed to the Ye family's explanation and finally finished the matter. He narrowed his eyes slightly and stretched lazily, with a relaxed smile on his face.

Originally, Xiao Ling thought that this competition would be very boring. After all, with his strength, it would be difficult to meet a real opponent. However, the addition of Cao Ying and Dan Chen made this competition more exciting. The talent and strength displayed by the two of them could not help but impress Xiao Ling...

Cao Ying and Dan Chen are undoubtedly truly talented. They were born into medicine-refining families like the Cao family and the Dan family, and their starting point was much higher than that of ordinary people.

Since childhood, they have been nurtured by resources far beyond those of most people. Whether it is precious medicinal materials, profound secrets of refining medicine, or the guidance of famous teachers, they have been provided with unique conditions for their growth.

Despite having such superior conditions, their ability to become eighth-grade alchemists at such an age did not rely solely on their family's resources. Their own efforts and talents are also indispensable...

It can be said that the success of Cao Ying and Dan Chen is the perfect combination of talent and hard work. Their families have provided them with abundant resources, and they themselves have made full use of these resources and transformed them into the improvement of their own strength...

Immediately, Xiao Ling retracted his gaze leisurely, turned his gaze to the side, smiled at Elder Sheng outside the square, and said in a casual tone: "Elder Sheng, now both of them have admitted defeat. Then this round of competition should be considered over. Right?"

Elder Sheng chuckled and walked slowly from a distance. He was very relieved to see that Xiao Ling, Cao Ying and Dan Chen were not injured or had any grudges.

This is naturally a great thing. After all, judging from the current trend, the three of them are the favorites to win the Danhui. As the core figures of the younger generation of Danta, Cao Ying and Danchen will definitely play an important role in Danta in the future.

As for Xiao Ling, although he did not agree to join Danta at the beginning, he has maintained a good relationship with Danta over the years.

In addition, Elder Sheng occasionally heard rumors from some Danta elders that there seemed to be some unclear relationship between Xiao Ling and Cao Ying, and the Cao family also intended to establish some contact with Xiao Ling through Cao Ying.

And judging from the interaction between Xiao Ling and Cao Ying today, Elder Sheng can also detect that there is definitely some unusual relationship between the two.

Anyway, regardless of whether the rumors are true or false, if any one of the three has problems, it will be a huge loss to Danta.

Elder Sheng stroked his beard and looked at Xiao Ling with a smile. Not only is this young man's powerful alchemy skills, he is also a Dou Zun-level expert, and his talent in cultivation is also a top choice.

He had never seen such a peerless monster in his life. This kind of talent is like being chased by God to feed you, which is really enviable...

"Haha, now that the competition is over, today's assessment of the five major families has also come to a successful conclusion. Let me announce the rankings." Walking to the stage, Elder Sheng looked around and nodded slightly.

Seeing that everyone was focusing on him, he stroked his beard, smiled slightly, and said,

"In this assessment of the five major families, the first place is the Ye family, the second place is the Cao family, the third place is the Dan family, the fourth place is the Bai family, and the fifth place is the Qiu family..."

As Elder Sheng announced that the assessment was over, among the many onlookers around, those who came specifically to see the excitement saw that there was no more excitement to see, so they left one after another.

The representatives of the Bai family and the Qiu family who came this time had no intention of staying here any longer and left sadly.

Although they passed the assessment and were not in danger of being kicked out of the ranks of the five major families, their lagging behind made them feel ashamed to stay.

However, there is no way around this, after all, the opponent is too powerful. If it were someone else who took part in the assessment, I'm afraid they would end up with the same fate.

People from the Cao family, Dan family, and Ye family all came forward. Ye Chong was already very excited, and his hands were trembling slightly when he walked over.

After this assessment, the Ye family finally kept its place among the five major families in Danta. For the Cao family and the Dan family, their status has also been stabilized. Although Cao Ying and Dan Chen lost to Xiao Ling, they can only blame Xiao Ling for being too evil. Both women have already shown their own style.

Although this assessment process was intense, everyone was happy with the result...

Elder Sheng turned his head slightly, looked at Ye Zhong, with a hint of distant reminiscence in his eyes, and sighed slowly,

"Congratulations! The Ye family has survived among the five major families. The Ye family is fortunate to have met a truly amazing talent. You must seize this opportunity. The Ye family, maybe in the future, we can Towards a higher level..."

Ye Chong naturally listened to Elder Sheng's almost explicit words. He couldn't help but praise his wit back then, and at the same time looked at his granddaughter Ye Xinlan standing aside.

Thanks to his granddaughter, she got to know Xiao Ling, a peerless talent, early at Canaan College. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for the Ye family to get in touch with Xiao Ling.

Ye Zhong also secretly decided to hug Xiao Ling's thigh tightly in the future.

"Master Xiao Ling, the Ye family will keep this kindness in mind. Ye Zhong hereby promises that if Master has any mission in the future, the Ye family will do their best." Ye Zhong looked at Xiao Ling, his expression was solemn, and his tone was even more firm.

Xiao Ling smiled slightly at Ye Zhong's words and nodded lightly. Back then, he borrowed the Yanghuo Ancient Altar of the Ye family and brought a lot of help to the little medical fairy. It was precisely because of this that he agreed to help the Ye family.

Overall, this matter was not too troublesome, and the Ye family was very polite to him, which gave Xiao Ling a good impression of the Ye family. If there is really a need for him to take action in the future, it might not be a bad idea to take care of the Ye family a little bit...

Ye Zhong looked at Elder Sheng again, the expression on his face instantly relaxed, and a sentimental smile slowly appeared. He solemnly raised his hands and said, "Elder Sheng, I really want to thank you for your care over the years. If it weren't for you, my Ye family wouldn't be qualified to stand here. Ye Chong would not dare to forget this kindness."

At this time, Ye Chong's eyes were full of sincerity and gratitude, as if he recalled all the help Elder Sheng had given to the Ye family in the past. His slightly straightened body showed the respect in his heart.

Elder Sheng smiled nonchalantly, waved his hand and said: "We are all old friends, there is no need to talk about this anymore..."

"Thank you Master Xiao Ling for showing mercy, otherwise the consequences for my sister-in-law would be disastrous. Our Dan family will definitely remember this kindness. If Master Xiao Ling needs anything in the future, you can come to our Dan family at any time, and we will do our best to provide help. ." Suddenly, a gentle voice came. Xiao Ling looked around and saw the elegant and handsome Dan Xuan bowing his head with a sincere expression.

It has to be said that Danxuan's elegant temperament and gentle demeanor are really hard to dislike. He is elegant and personable, giving people a feeling of spring breeze.

As the saying goes, reach out and don't hit the smiling person. Xiao Ling is not the kind of person with a bad temper and high self-esteem. Although he was not very interested in Danxuan who came to express his gratitude, he would not ignore it either.

"It doesn't matter. It's just a game, and it's not a life-and-death fight. Naturally, it won't hurt the harmony. Furthermore, I see that Danchen's sister is cute and cute. She is really lovable, so naturally I won't let her get hurt..."

After hearing Xiao Ling's words, Dan Chen, who was hiding behind Dan Xuan with only half of his head exposed as he watched the conversation among several people, instantly blushed and felt shy. She immediately retracted her gaze and hid behind Danxuan again, as if she didn't want others to notice her...

Such a weak, slightly timid appearance is actually very cute.

"Cao Ying also thanked Master Xiao Ling for his previous mercy. Master Xiao Ling probably hasn't used all his strength yet, right? If he had really used all his strength, I would probably look even more miserable."

At this time, Cao Ying, followed by Cao Dan and Cao Xiu, approached. Her beautiful eyes are wandering, looking forward to her appearance, and her spring-like eyes are intoxicating. With her hands behind her back, her delicate body leaned forward slightly, revealing her graceful figure.

Looking at Cao Ying with her charming smile, Xiao Ling had always stayed away from such a complicated woman.

Although she had gotten along with Cao Ying a lot and had some close contact by accident, in Xiao Ling's heart, her relationship with Cao Ying was just more than an ordinary friend. You can get appropriately close to it, but not too close.

After all, this kind of woman's mind is unpredictable. Before you can understand her true inner thoughts, it is safer to keep a certain distance.

Xiao Ling nodded slightly, and then slowly responded: "Okay, now you and I can be considered friends. I naturally know what's right and know when to stop, so you don't have to be so polite."

Seeing that Xiao Ling's attitude towards her was still so indifferent, while Xiao Ling's previous attitude towards Dan Chen was very kind, Cao Ying felt anxious. She was secretly angry and complained about Xiao Ling in her heart...

Cao Ying's face still maintained the natural and calm look before, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, outlining a beautiful arc. She opened her mouth to send out an invitation: "Xiao Ling, there is still some time before the Dan Club opens. During this time, many trading venues will be opened in Shengdan City, and all kinds of rare and rare treasures will be traded. If you have Kong, you might as well let me take you on a tour, maybe you can find some treasures that you can take a fancy to..."

"You know, there was no such lively scene when you came to Shengdan City before. You can't miss it this time..."

Hearing this, Xiao Ling raised his eyebrows slightly and became somewhat interested. Indeed, as Cao Ying said, there is still some time before the Danhui starts. These days are free, so it would be good to go out for a walk.

So, Xiao Ling nodded lightly and responded casually: "I came here this time to prepare for the alchemy meeting. However, if you have time, it is not impossible to go shopping. Then I will have to trouble you. Recommended for me..."

"Gee~, this is of course no trouble. Then when I come to see you, just don't refuse behind closed doors..."

Cao Ying lightly covered her red lips, giggled, and her eyes moved, showing her enchanting look.

Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Cao Ying had no intention of staying here any longer. She stared deeply at Xiao Ling with her beautiful eyes, and raised the corner of her mouth with a charming arc.

Immediately, she turned around and walked out of the hall, leaving everyone with a lazy and arrogant beautiful figure.

Seeing Cao Ying leaving, everyone in the Cao family also nodded slightly to Xiao Ling, and then followed her closely.

Seeing that everyone in the Cao family had left, Dan Xuan and Dan Chen, after greeting each other with Xiao Ling, slowly led everyone from the Dan family out of the assessment hall.

Seeing those high-ranking bosses leaving one by one, some forces that had a certain relationship with the Ye family in the past also began to greet Ye Chong warmly at this moment.

Although the Ye family is currently in a state of decline, it has still successfully retained its position among the five major families, and will also retain a seat at the Danta elders' table in the future.

The status of the Ye family may indeed not be as prominent as that of the Cao family and the Dan family today, but it is definitely a height that ordinary forces cannot reach.

Ye Chong smiled at the warm greetings from these people. Although the Ye family now has some breathing time, this is by no means the capital they can afford to act arrogantly.

After experiencing the dilapidation and decadence of those days, Ye Chong knew very clearly how to speak and act in a way that would be of greater benefit to the Ye family in the future.

When Xiao Ling saw this scene and said hello to Ye Xinlan and Ye Zhong, he planned to leave. But at this moment, Elder Sheng came to Xiao Ling with a smile on his face.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling raised his eyebrows slightly, and then said with some curiosity: "Is there something wrong with Elder Sheng? You might as well just ask."

"Haha, what Master Xiao Ling said is absolutely true. I do have something I want to discuss with Master Xiao Ling. President Xuan Kongzi also wants to invite Master Xiao Ling to discuss some things together. I wonder if Master Xiao Ling will be free later? "Elder Sheng nodded slightly, squeezed out a smile on his face, and said with a smile.

"Since it was President Xuan Kongzi who personally sent a message to invite me to come and have an audience, then I naturally have no reason to refuse." Although there was a trace of doubt in Xiao Ling's heart, he did not show much reaction. He nodded slightly and said, "After that Cao Ying should come to me, and then just ask her to take me to see President Xuan Kongzi."

"Haha, this matter is settled. Later, I will ask the president to talk to Cao Ying about this matter." Upon seeing this, Elder Sheng smiled and said.

Hearing this, Xiao Ling also nodded slightly. After chatting with Elder Sheng again for a while, he left the hall with Ye Zhong and others.

Looking at Xiao Ling's receding back, the smile on Elder Sheng's face slowly faded, and he murmured: "I heard from the president that the Soul Palace will also send people to participate in the alchemy conference this time. The Three Thousand Flames must not fall into their hands..." (End of this chapter)
