Chapter 1178: Little thief Cao, humiliating himself

In the southern part of the outer area of ​​Shengdan City, at the assessment site of the Danta branch, the tightly closed heavenly gate finally opened again with a slight creaking sound.

At this moment, whether it was Ye Chong and Ye Xinlan who were waiting at the door, or those who were observing in secret, they all turned their eyes towards the door.

The figure of a white-haired old man walked out slowly. At this moment, Han Li was frowning slightly, shaking his head and sighing softly, while Xu Xin, who was following behind him, still had no alchemist badge on his chest.

In this situation, the reactions of the people who were secretly observing varied. Some impatient ones even whispered mockery, saying that this person from the Ye family had started the seventh-grade alchemist assessment but could not pass it, and that Chun Chun was just bringing shame upon himself.

"Young man from the Ye family, your level is definitely not just the lower seventh rank. If you really don't want to try a higher level assessment, you can go to the headquarters for a test. Maybe you can get some opportunities there..."

Han Li frowned as he tried to persuade Xu Xin. During the assessment just now, he clearly felt that Xu Xin was not serious at all. This kid's level was definitely more than just the lower seventh grade. According to his estimation, it would not be difficult for him to pass the intermediate seventh grade assessment, and he might even be a high-level seventh grade alchemist.

If such a talent could be introduced to the attention of the bigwigs of Danta through him, it would be a good thing for both him and the Ye family.

"Elder Han Li, forget it now. I will go to Danta headquarters after the assessment in a few days..."

Xu Xin naturally planned to go to Danta's headquarters, but he definitely would not go there anonymously like he did now. Instead, he wanted to create some big events to publicize his name first and let the real top management of Danta pay attention to him. The best opportunity to become famous in recent times is the assessment of the five major families.

"I forgot that with your strength, you might be able to win the test this time."

“Brother Ye Zhong, your Ye family’s luck is not over yet!”

Elder Han Li sighed with emotion. As he spoke, he took out a badge that was flashing with dazzling light from his ring and handed it to Xu Xin with a bit of politeness.

Xu Xin held it in his palm and took a look. The badge was dark gold in color, with an image of a giant tower surrounded by flames. Seven dazzling purple-gold stars were shining on the tower, but the seventh star now looked very dim.

"Did you pass the assessment?"

"The Ye family has really produced a young seventh-grade alchemist."

"This time the assessment is going to be interesting."

"Cao Dan, didn't you say earlier that they were bringing humiliation upon themselves?"

In the room on the second floor, the few people who were observing secretly suddenly changed the subject and started discussing again. When one of them who was quite impatient saw the badge, his face turned extremely ugly. After a moment's silence, he pushed the door open and walked out.

"Great Elder Ye, Miss Xinlan, long time no see!"

Outside the Tianzi Gate, Xu Xin, Ye Chong and Ye Xinlan said goodbye to Elder Han Li and were about to leave. Unexpectedly, a voice came from behind them, and anxious footsteps quickly circled around them, and a man in a purple alchemist robe appeared in their sight.

This young man looks quite young and handsome, but underneath his handsomeness, he can hardly conceal his arrogance.

Of course, with the badge on his chest, no one would say anything about his arrogance because he had the qualifications.

The badge on his chest was light blue with a faint flame surrounding it. Flames also surrounded the towering tower. Above the tower, six bright purple-gold stars twinkled, which was extremely dazzling.

A sixth-rank senior alchemist in his twenties is an absolute genius even in Zhongzhou, a land of outstanding people and powerful men.

"Cao Dan, what are you doing here?"

Ye Xinlan looked at the young man in front of her, and a hint of disgust could not help but appear in her eyes.

The Cao family of Danyu proposed marriage to the Ye family, with the vague intention of annexing the Ye family.

Because of this incident, Ye Xinlan naturally hated the Cao family, and hated Cao Dan, who almost made an engagement with her, even more. "Xinlan, this is the toad from the Cao family who wanted to eat swan meat that you mentioned."

Xu Xin's words instantly broke the defense of Cao Dan, who was originally smiling. When he saw Xu Xin's hand around Ye Xinlan's waist, he felt even more furious.

"Although you are a seventh-rank alchemist, you have humiliated my Cao family. Although Cao Dan is not strong enough, I must ask for your advice."

A trace of anger appeared on Cao Dan's face, and he said sternly: "If you are still a man, then accept my challenge. You and I are both alchemists, and we will compete in fire control skills according to the rules of alchemists."

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Xu Xin to speak, a ball of light black flame suddenly rose from Cao Dan's palm, and then rapidly squirmed in his palm, turning into two small black snakes, which kept shuttling back and forth between his fingers, as clever as elves.

"You little thief Cao brought disgrace upon yourself."

Xu Xin glanced at him and just said eight words calmly.

"It's not certain who is bringing shame upon himself."

The smile on Cao Dan's face became more and more intense, and he introduced it proudly: "My origin fire is called Tianyin Demon Fire, which is taken from the eighth-level demon beast Tianyin Three-Headed Lion..."

As he spoke, he took a step forward and flicked his fingers. The light black flame on his palm suddenly surged up, quickly squirming above his head and condensing into a giant black eagle. It was eerie and strange as the flames swirled around it.

A giant black flaming eagle circled above Cao Dan's head, making a sharp eagle cry, and there was a hint of pride in his eyes as he introduced himself.

Although this Tianyin Demon Fire cannot be compared with the strange fire, its power is also extremely impressive. In order to obtain this fire, the Cao family spent a lot of effort and even asked the Dou Zun to take action personally.

Xu Xin glanced at the black giant eagle. This guy's arrogance was not without reason. He could control fire so skillfully. Ordinary alchemists could not compare to him.

But this little thief Cao is too stubborn.

The sound of an eagle's cry was approaching rapidly, and the pitch-black fire eagle played by Cao Dan had already swooped down towards Xu Xin and Ye Xinlan.

"If you don't know your own limits, you will bring disgrace upon yourself!"

Xu Xin made a simple comment with eight words, then snapped his fingers, and a wisp of black flame quickly surged, transforming into a pitch-black phoenix in a few breaths.

Ripples quickly appeared in the void, and under Cao Dan's horrified gaze, the Black Phoenix swallowed the tiny Black Eagle in one gulp, and Cao Dan also spat out a mouthful of blood at this moment.

Although he did not lose his original flame, he suffered a serious backlash because a stream of his original flame energy was plundered in an instant.

Xu Xin waved his hand to kill Cao Dan's fire beast, and was too lazy to look at this toad-like thief Cao. He slightly exerted force with the arm around Ye Xinlan's waist, and was about to turn around and leave with the beauty.

"You... the Cao family will not let you go..."

After Cao Dan finished speaking these words, he staggered and fell to the ground.

"I am waiting……"

Xu Xin didn't even turn his head, but his words reached Cao Dan's ears from afar, and it was like the last straw that broke the camel's back.

The next moment, this genius of the Cao family, who was ranked among the top three in the contemporary era, fell to the ground with his eyes rolled back and closed.
