Chapter 20

Early the next morning, Qin Xinyao came to the training ground.

A huge square tower was erected here overnight. The surface of the tower is extremely smooth, which can vaguely reflect people's faces.

There is a pearl on the top of the tower. The pearl is emerald green and emits soft light.

Qin Xinyao's face showed longing: "The middle-grade spiritual weapon Qingyan Pearl is a magic weapon refined by the ancestors."

There are already people gathered around, young faces looking up at the sky, in the air, the ancestors are sitting on a treasured tripod, their robes fluttering with the wind.Below him, several senior members of the Qin family, headed by Qin Jianming, stood in the air with magic weapons.

"The person who ascends the pagoda and obtains the Qingyan Orb is the number one."

The old ancestor said loudly, flicking his sleeve robe, "Let's start."

After a very short silence, the crowd boiled.The young children of the Qin family scrambled up to the Sifang Pagoda, and they were so crowded that nothing could get through.

Qin Xinyao was not in a hurry, she stayed behind and patiently observed the situation of the people in front.

After a group of young people came into contact with the Square Pagoda, their movements suddenly became sluggish, as slow as snails.Some people managed to climb up for a while, but then slid down suddenly.

Qin Xinyao showed a pensive expression.She stepped forward unhurriedly, found an empty seat, and raised her left foot to step up the tower.

The seemingly smooth surface did not make people slippery. On the contrary, there was a strong suction force from under the feet, which almost nailed people to it.After Qin Xinyao put all the rest of her hands and feet on it, a heavy pressure enveloped her, as if she was stuck in a swamp, and it took a lot of effort to move half an inch.

Qin Xinyao mobilized the spiritual power in her body to resist the pressure, and walked with difficulty, while complaining to Jing Yingrong in a low voice: "Why did the ancestor come up with this kind of competition method?"

Jing Yingrong: "Like one of the inner sect assessments of Luotianzong."

Qin Xinyao: "Like?"

Jing Yingrong: "Stress will disappear randomly, and spiritual power is needed..."

Before she finished speaking, the heavy pressure suddenly disappeared, and the suction force no longer existed.Caught off guard, Qin Xinyao directly slipped down.

Fortunately, she reacted very quickly, and she was prepared after observing it before, so she used her spiritual power to absorb herself on the tower surface when she was halfway through the slide.

Just as she stopped falling, the pressure and suction reappeared, and the spiritual power running in Qin Xinyao's body was forcibly interrupted, and a blush appeared on her lips in an instant.

She stuck out her tongue and licked off the blood from the corner of her lips, and said with a wry smile: "How much did the ancestor imitate?"

Jing Yingrong thought for a while, "The difficulty is reduced by [-]%."

Qin Xinyao: "...It seems that Luotianzong you mentioned is a big sect."

After climbing a short distance, Qin Xinyao ran out of spiritual energy in her body, so she had to take out pills to replenish her spiritual energy.Even the act of taking the elixir made her sweat profusely.

Most people stop at the position below one-third of the Square Tower, and those who can climb halfway up are the outstanding members of the younger generation of the Qin family. His control, or his own flexibility and reaction speed, as well as patience and perseverance, are all better than ordinary people.

After several times when the pressure suddenly disappeared, Qin Xinyao had gained some experience, and her speed gradually increased.

Before she knew it, she had surpassed most of them, and she was still five feet away from the top of the tower.

In mid-air, Qin Jianming stared at her from the corner of his eye, with anger looming in his eyes.

He glanced at the patriarch of the Qin family who seemed to be resting his mind with his eyes closed, and with a slight movement of his fingertips, a strange black filament formed by spiritual power floated towards Qin Xinyao.

Qin Xinyao buried her head and crawled hard, unaware of the black filaments floating towards her.

Jing Yingrong: "He made a move."

"Huh?" The dazed Qin Xinyao was taken aback for a moment before realizing who Jing Yingrong was talking about.

She said bluntly, "Then I will trouble you."

A faint "good" word came from my ear, and then there was no more sound.

After Qin Jianming used the black filament, he kept staring at Qin Xinyao.However, after waiting for a while, he didn't wait for Qin Xinyao's abnormal condition, but he waited for a chill all over his body.

His spiritual power was suddenly disordered, the magic weapon shook a few times, and he almost fell from the air.

Qin Jianming's strangeness attracted the attention of others.The patriarch of the Qin family opened his eyes and said, "What's wrong?"

Qin Jianming was in a cold sweat. He managed to maintain his composure and said, "Probably because he made a mistake in his practice a few days ago and he hasn't fully recovered, so he lost his composure. But it's not a serious problem, and the ancestor doesn't need to worry."

The ancestor nodded slightly, and turned his eyes away.

Qin Jianming wiped his sweat, doubts appeared in his eyes, but he also had some disbelief, and then he quietly lifted the corner of his sleeve robe.

On the arm exposed under the sleeve, a strange black filament was wrapped around impressively.

Qin Jianming's expression changed drastically.

He hastily put down his sleeves, and looked up, down, left, and right in surprise, all he saw were familiar faces.

The cold sweat that had just been wiped off broke out again.

They were almost at the top of the tower, but apart from Qin Xinyao, there were two other children from the same clan also approaching the top of the tower.

Those two people's cultivation was weaker than Qin Xinyao's, but their clothes were all extraordinary, not comparable to Qin Xinyao's.

Qin Xinyao raised her eyelids and tried her best to look at Qingyan Orb, which was close at hand. She frowned, as if she was thinking about something.

Then, a flash of inspiration flashed in her eyes.

Qin Xinyao took out one of the two swords, stretched out her arms and stretched the sword forward as far as she could, the tip of the sword just touched the Qingyan Orb.

She injected spiritual power into the sword, and connected herself with the Qingyan Orb through the sword. Although it was only an extremely small link, it was enough.

Qin Xinyao retracted the sword, and under the effect of spiritual power, the Qingyan orb shook slightly, then lost its balance and rolled down from the top of the tower toward Qin Xinyao.

Qin Xinyao held the Qingyan orb steadily, showing a relieved smile.

The voice of the patriarch of the Qin family sounded at the right time: "The first competition is over, and the winner——Qin Xinyao."

Then, with a flick of his finger, the square tower quickly collapsed, everyone returned to the ground, and the pressure and suction disappeared.

The two who were also closest to Qingyan Orb before were very dissatisfied and said one after another:
"Old Ancestor, Qin Xinyao didn't actually climb to the top of the pagoda. She got the Qingyan Orb by chance. This junior thinks it's unfair."

"The younger generation also thinks this is unfair, please enlighten the ancestors."

The patriarch of the Qin family looked confused, and looked at Qin Xinyao, "Qin Xinyao, how do you respond to the doubts of the two of them?"

Qin Xinyao held the orb in her hand and smiled slightly: "The old ancestor's original words were 'climbing the tower to get the Qingyan orb'. First, the ancestor did not say that one must climb to the top of the tower, 'climbing the tower' and 'climbing to the top of the tower' , I think the difference should not be small; secondly, the ancestor only said to obtain the Qingyan Orb, he did not say that he had to touch it with his own hands to obtain it, nor did he say that he could not be tricked. In short, the Qingyan Orb is in my hand at this moment, I— - is the winner."
