Forty years old, awakening attribute panel

Chapter 263

Jiang Sheng stood on the wide draw table, the sun shining through the translucent veil onto him, giving his burly figure a golden glow. All around him, the contestants were standing or sitting, with different expressions on their faces - some were nervous, some were excited, and some were calm. The audience was talking about it, looking forward to the next duel list.

There was a special smell in the air, a unique atmosphere of tension and expectation. Jiang Sheng took a deep breath of the air that smelled slightly of dust and sweat, as if he could draw strength from it. He slowly stretched out his hand, and his fingertips gently touched the ancient bronze lottery tube, feeling its cold surface and rough texture.

The lottery tube was engraved with complex patterns, as if telling an ancient story. Jiang Sheng gently shook the lottery tube, and the bamboo sticks collided with each other inside, making a slight rustling sound, like a melodious music, echoing on the empty lottery table.

He closed his eyes and silently thought of his own expectations in his heart - he hoped to draw an opponent of equal strength, which would not only test his own strength, but also allow him to learn new things. Then, he decisively stretched out a finger, inserted it into the gap of the lottery tube, and gently picked up a bamboo stick, which was firmly grasped in his hand.

At the same time, the contestants around them also started drawing their own lots. Some closed their eyes and put their hands together, as if praying for good luck; others were focused and concentrated on drawing their own bamboo sticks. The audience also stretched their necks to try to see the lot numbers in each contestant's hand.

On the draw table, Jiang Sheng slowly unfolded the bamboo stick in his hand, and saw the words "Zone B Category 3" engraved on it. He frowned slightly, and quickly assessed the strength of the opponents in this area. But he quickly regained his composure, knowing that no matter who the opponent was, he had to go all out.

"Zone B, Category 3? I wonder what kind of opponent I'll encounter." Jiang Sheng frowned slightly and muttered to himself.

At the same time, other contestants also drew out their bamboo sticks one after another.

"I was drawn into Category A. It looks like I have to go all out this time." A burly contestant shouted excitedly.

"I was drawn to Category C, Category II. I hope my opponent isn't too strong." A slightly skinny contestant said with some concern.

Lin Miao's hands trembled slightly, and his fingers tightly grasped the corner of his clothes, as if he wanted to draw a little comfort from it. A layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, showing his inner tension and anxiety. His eyes wandered around the crowd, as if looking for a familiar face, but finally lowered his head in disappointment.

He stood opposite Jiang Sheng, looking a little uneasy. His shoulders trembled slightly, as if he couldn't bear the pressure. The corners of his mouth were tightly pursed, as if he was trying to suppress the fear in his heart. But his eyes revealed a firm light, as if telling himself that no matter what the result, he must persevere.

Jiang Sheng looked at Lin Miao, and a surge of sympathy and respect surged in his heart. He knew that every young person standing here had gone through countless efforts and sacrifices to get to this point. He walked forward and extended his hand to Lin Miao.

"Hello, I'm Jiang Sheng." Jiang Sheng's voice was steady and powerful, trying to ease Lin Miao's tension.

Lin Miao raised his head and looked at Jiang Sheng's determined eyes and warm smile, and the tension in his heart eased a little. He hesitated for a moment, then slowly stretched out his hand and shook hands with Jiang Sheng.

"Hello...Hello, I'm Lin Miao." Lin Miao's voice was a little trembling, but he still tried to make himself look calmer.

Jiang Sheng looked at Lin Miao and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we are just exchanging skills. No matter what the result is, it will be a valuable experience."

Jiang Sheng and Lin Miao were led to the competition venue in Zone B by a serious and solemn steward. The venue was surrounded by towering spectator seats, and the audience had already taken their seats, looking forward to the exciting match. The air was filled with a tense and enthusiastic atmosphere, as if the entire venue was boiling for the upcoming game.

Jiang Sheng and Lin Miao were led to the waiting area, where other contestants were already waiting. Some of them were talking in low voices, while others were resting their eyes and adjusting their state. Jiang Sheng and Lin Miao chose a seat in the corner to better observe the competition venue in front of them.

In the center of the competition venue is a wide circular ring, the edge of which is surrounded by sturdy ropes to prevent contestants from falling accidentally.

There were two groups of people competing in front of them. The first group was two burly men, their muscles were knotted like iron, and every movement revealed a strong sense of strength. Their summoned beasts were a magic-type golden stone toad and a force-type alien bear. These two summoned beasts, like their masters, exuded a powerful aura.

At the beginning of the game, the two strong men each summoned their own summoned beasts. The Golden Stone Toad was shining with golden light, its skin was as hard as stone, and its eyes were shining with wisdom. The Alien Bear was huge, with clear muscle lines, and its eyes were shining with wild light, as if it could devour everything.

The two strong men did not attack directly, but commanded their respective summoned beasts to engage in a fierce battle. The Golden Stone Toad launched the attack first, it opened its mouth and spit out a golden beam of light, which shot directly at the Alien Bear. Seeing this, the Alien Bear roared, slammed its palms into the ground, and a powerful shock wave attacked the Golden Stone Toad.

The two forces collided in the air, making a deafening sound. The golden light of the Golden Stone Toad and the shock wave of the Alien Bear offset each other, creating a strong airflow that stirred the surrounding air. The audience was so excited that their blood boiled and they cheered for this wonderful confrontation.

The two strong men did not stop attacking. They continued to command the summoned beasts to fight. The golden stone toad suddenly jumped up and pounced on the alien bear. The alien bear was not to be outdone. It suddenly jumped up and started a fierce fight with the golden stone toad in the air.

The Golden Stone Toad opened its mouth and bit the Alien Bear. The Alien Bear stretched out its sharp claws and grabbed the Golden Stone Toad. The two summoned beasts fought back and forth, and every collision made a loud noise, as if it was going to shatter the entire arena.

As the battle continued, the first group's confrontation gradually entered a white-hot stage. The confrontation between the Golden Stone Toad and the Alien Bear was no longer a simple physical collision, but a contest of magic and strength.

Under the command of its master, the Golden Stone Toad showed its unique advantage in magic. It opened its mouth and spit out golden runes, which gathered into a golden light curtain in the air, covering the alien bear. Although the alien bear was extremely powerful, its movements began to slow down under the restraint of the light curtain.

Upon seeing this, the alien bear's master immediately ordered it to launch a fierce attack, trying to break through the light curtain. However, the magic of the golden stone toad seemed to be a natural counter to brute force, and no matter how the alien bear struggled, it could not shake the indestructible light curtain.

At this time, the owner of the Golden Stone Toad took the opportunity to launch an attack. He formed seals with his hands and muttered something. A golden beam of light shot out from his palms and hit the alien bear directly. The alien bear roared in pain and retreated several steps under the impact of the beam. It was obviously seriously injured.

The audience was attracted by this wonderful battle and exclaimed in amazement. They did not expect that a magic summoned beast could suppress a power-type alien bear so easily. The situation on the field was also reversed because of this attack.

The Golden Stone Toad did not give the Alien Bear a chance to breathe. It spit out another golden beam of light, which directly hit the Alien Bear's vitals. The Alien Bear let out a scream, and its huge body fell to the ground, losing its fighting power.

Upon seeing this, the owner immediately stepped forward to check the status of the alien bear, then shook his head helplessly. He understood that his summoned beast could no longer fight. The owner of the Golden Stone Toad smiled and waved to the audience.

At this moment, the entire arena was filled with the light of magic. The victory of the Golden Stone Toad showed everyone the power of magic summoned beasts.

As the alien bear fell to the ground, the first group's competition came to an end. The victory of the Golden Stone Toad brought warm applause and cheers from the audience. However, the ring was already in a mess. The originally flat ground was damaged by the shock waves and spell attacks in the battle, and several ropes were broken, making it look dilapidated.

Just as the audience was lamenting the damage to the venue, a figure suddenly appeared in the center of the ring. It was a deacon in a blue robe, with a serious and solemn face and a mysterious light in his eyes. He formed seals with his hands and muttered something, and a powerful energy began to gather around him.

Following the actions of the deacon, the air around the ring began to flow slowly as if being pulled by an invisible force. These air currents intertwined in the air to form complex runes, emitting dazzling light. Then, these runes seemed to come alive, flying towards the ring and began to repair the damaged areas.

The audience was stunned. They had never thought that this deacon could possess such a magical power. The runes were seen circling and dancing above the ring. Every time they touched the ground, the damaged parts would be restored to their original state. After a while, the originally bumpy ground became as smooth as a mirror, and the broken ropes were reconnected as if they had never been damaged.

Jiang Sheng was sitting in the waiting area, witnessing all this. He was even more surprised at the strength of the Lin family. He didn't expect that the Lin family not only had powerful warriors, but also had stewards who could perform such magical spells. This kind of strength is probably one of the best in the entire fighting competition.

The second set of matches was about to begin, and the audience's emotions were ignited again. Jiang Sheng's eyes wandered between the two women, one of whom was Lin Yu, whom he knew. Their eyes met in the air, as if they could feel the subtle atmosphere between each other.

Lin Yu was wearing a light green dress, and her figure was graceful, like a blooming lotus. There was a hint of provocation in her eyes, as if she was having a silent duel with Jiang Sheng. Her summoned beast was a spiritual phantom butterfly, with blue light flashing on its wings, giving people a mysterious and charming feeling.

Lin Yu's opponent is a girl from the same family named Lin Fei. She is dressed in a purple battle suit, looks heroic and exudes an aura that cannot be ignored. Her summoned beast is a poisonous vine from the grass family. The vine is covered with sharp thorns and emits a faint poisonous gas, which makes people dare not approach easily.

The game started, and the two women each summoned their own summoned beasts. The Phantom Butterfly danced under Lin Fei's command, its wings gently flapping, releasing spiritual waves, trying to disturb Lin Fei's mind. The Poison Ivy was like a flexible snake, and under Lin Fei's command, it quickly attacked the Phantom Butterfly.

"Phantom Butterfly, use the psychedelic technique!" Lin Yu's voice was clear and firm. Her fingers drew an elegant arc in the air, and the Phantom Butterfly responded immediately. Its wings emitted a stronger light, forming a psychedelic light curtain that enveloped the poisonous vine.

"Poison Ivy, use vines to bind!" Lin Fei was not to be outdone, her voice was deep and powerful. The Poison Ivy quickly stretched out its sharp vines, trying to pass through the light curtain and bind the Phantom Butterfly.

The Poison Ivy let out a cry of pain. In the center of the ring, the wings of the Phantom Butterfly fluttered lightly like a dream, and each flap was accompanied by a burst of faint blue light. These lights gradually intertwined in the air to form a psychedelic light curtain, as if a layer of gauze gently covered the Poison Ivy.

The vines of the poisonous vine were originally flexible and powerful, but in the face of the spiritual fluctuations of the phantom butterfly, they became extremely stiff. Those sharp vines stagnated in front of the light curtain, as if they were tightly bound by an invisible force and could not stretch forward an inch. The poison gas on the vines gradually dissipated under the illumination of the light curtain, as if it was swallowed by this mysterious force. Lin Yu showed a smug smile on her face, and her eyes flashed with determination and confidence. She gently waved the staff in her hand, as if to cheer for the phantom butterfly. The phantom butterfly felt the call of its master, and the frequency of its wings flapped faster, and its whole body emitted a dazzling light.

At this moment, the Phantom Butterfly suddenly launched an attack. It flapped its wings violently, and a mental shock wave shot out like a sharp arrow, directly hitting the Poison Ivy. This shock wave, with a strong mental force, instantly penetrated the vines of the Poison Ivy, causing it to groan in pain.

The vines of the poison vine began to tremble violently, as if resisting this powerful force. However, the spiritual fluctuations of the phantom butterfly continued to surge like a tide, making the resistance of the poison vine weaker and weaker. Finally, the vines of the poison vine began to break, and the sharp thorns gradually lost their luster, as if they were deprived of vitality.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lin Fei's face turned pale and tense. She bit her lower lip tightly, holding the staff tightly with both hands, trying to find an opportunity to fight back. However, the spiritual fluctuations of the Phantom Butterfly had completely suppressed the Poison Ivy, making it impossible for Lin Fei to organize an effective attack.

The poison vine groaned, and its vines began to shrink, as if they had lost their vitality. Seeing that the situation was not good, Lin Fei immediately ordered the poison vine to retreat, trying to distance itself from the phantom butterfly.

However, Lin Yu did not give Lin Fei a chance to breathe. She continued to command the Phantom Butterfly to attack, and spiritual waves continued to attack the Poison Ivy. Under the powerful attack of the Phantom Butterfly, the vines of the Poison Ivy began to break and eventually lost their combat effectiveness.

Amid the audience's praises, Jiang Sheng watched all this silently. His eyes were filled with complex emotions. He saw Lin Yu's strength and the power of Huan Ling Die. He knew that the next game would be more difficult and intense. He couldn't help but feel a little nervous, but at the same time he was full of fighting spirit and expectation.

Jiang Sheng clenched his hands into fists, his fingers slightly white from exertion. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He knew that he could not be intimidated by Lin Yu's strength, nor could he lose confidence because of nervousness. He had to go all out to win this game.

Jiang Sheng and Lin Miao walked into the competition venue together, and the audience's attention was immediately focused on them. Although Jiang Sheng was used to the feeling of being watched by everyone, Lin Miao seemed unusually nervous.

A layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on Lin Miao's forehead. He clenched his hands into fists, and his fingers trembled slightly because of nervousness. His eyes were full of anxiety and fear, as if every step was walking on the edge of a knife. His shoulders trembled slightly, as if he was trying to suppress the fear in his heart.

On the battlefield shrouded in twilight, the atmosphere was tense and depressing. Jiang Sheng took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes. His hands formed a complex seal in the air, and he muttered something, as if summoning some powerful force.

Suddenly, a low and shocking roar came from the air, as if it came from an ancient beast. Then, a ball of blazing flames gushed out from the ground under Jiang Sheng's feet and quickly condensed into a huge figure. It was a huge beast with a red body, its eyes burning with flames, and its eyebrows revealing endless majesty and domineering. It was the Fiery Eyebrowed Red Bearded Beast Wildfire.

The appearance of Wildfire made the entire battlefield tremble. It roared to the sky, and the flames spread everywhere, as if it wanted to burn everything to ashes. Jiang Sheng stood beside Wildfire, with a satisfied smile on his face, and his eyes were full of confidence and expectation.

However, in sharp contrast to Jiang Sheng's calmness is Lin Miao and his summoned beast, the Water Frog. Lin Miao is a thin, pale young man, his hands are also trembling as he forms seals, but his eyes are full of fear and uneasiness.

Finally, a clear frog croaked, and a blue water frog jumped out of Lin Miao's summoning array. This wonderful water frog was small, and its blue skin shimmered in the moonlight. However, its eyes were full of fear and confusion, just like its master. It jumped onto Lin Miao's shoulder and huddled up, as if looking for a sense of security.

Lin Miao looked at the Wildfire beside him and the Water Frog on his shoulder, and a feeling of powerlessness surged in his heart. He knew that his summoned beast was so small and fragile compared to Jiang Sheng's Wildfire, but he also knew that he couldn't give up. He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and tried to establish a deeper connection with the Water Frog.

At this moment, the wildfire suddenly roared and rushed towards Lin Miao and the water frog. Lin Miao was startled, but he quickly forced himself to calm down.

In the center of the battlefield, the atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense. Jiang Sheng's Fiery Eyebrowed Red Bearded Beast Wildfire roared like a giant fire beast raging in the dark night. Every step it took made the ground tremble, and every roar made the air seem to be ignited.

However, in stark contrast to this was the cowardice of Lin Miao and Miao Shui Wa. Lin Miao looked at the terrifying posture of Huang Huo, and fear surged in his heart like a tide. He felt his legs trembling, and the summoning array in his hand began to become unstable.

The Miao Shui Frog huddled on Lin Miao's shoulder, its little eyes filled with fear, its body pressed tightly against its owner's neck, as if seeking a little comfort.

Lin Miao swallowed his saliva. He knew that there was a huge gap between his strength and Jiang Sheng's. Before the battle began, he had told himself countless times in his heart to be calm and brave, but at this moment, he found that he could not overcome the fear in his heart at all.

Seeing this, Jiang Sheng waved his hand lightly, and the wild fire let out a deafening roar and rushed towards Lin Miao.

When Lin Miao saw the wildfire coming, the fear in his heart reached its peak. He subconsciously closed his eyes, hugged the frog tightly with both hands, and fell backwards.

"I... I surrender!" Lin Miao's voice was trembling and weak, echoing on the battlefield.

The water frog also seemed to sense its master's despair, and a trace of sadness flashed in its little eyes.

Jiang Sheng stood on the battlefield, looking at Lin Miao's surrendering back, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He originally thought there would be a fierce battle, after all, Lin Miao had shown impressive strength in the previous match. However, this duel was so easy that it could almost be said to be without suspense.

He frowned slightly, feeling somewhat puzzled. He turned his head to look at the audience, only to see that the audience were also whispering, with disdainful expressions on their faces.

"What good luck! Jiang Sheng actually got a free promotion this time." An audience member said sarcastically, his voice was not loud but loud enough for everyone around to hear.

"That's right, it's really surprising that someone with this kind of strength can make it to the finals." Another audience member echoed, and their voices caused a small commotion in the crowd.

Jiang Sheng's face darkened when he heard these discussions. He knew that he had always been highly regarded by the audience, but this time he was questioned because he won too easily. He felt a little dissatisfied, but more disappointed with the game.

He turned to look at his summoned beast, Wildfire, and saw it was also looking down in thought, as if it was also confused by this easy victory. Jiang Sheng gently patted Wildfire on the head and whispered, "Don't pay attention to these discussions, we just need to do our best."

Wildfire raised his head, a determined light flashing in his eyes, as if to say, "I understand, Master."

The atmosphere on the field became more subtle because of the discussion of the audience. Although the duel between Jiang Sheng and Lin Miao was over, the enthusiasm of the audience did not diminish at all.

After Jiang Sheng finished his duel with Lin Miao, he was filled with confusion and disappointment. He did not rush back to the guest room, but decided to go to the Class A combat zone, hoping to find some passion and inspiration for the battle there.

Walking into the Class A battle area, Jiang Sheng seemed to have stepped into a whole new world. Here, the air was filled with thick smoke from battle, and even the wind seemed to be a little hot. The battle area was occupied by a carefully designed circular arena, surrounded by densely packed spectator seats. The audience was so enthusiastic that they surrounded the arena.

In the arena, the battle was in full swing. The summoned beasts roared and made deafening roars. They were huge, some covered in flames, some stepped on frost, and every attack was full of destructive power. They tumbled and collided in the air, and every collision stirred up a strong wave of air, making the surrounding air tremble.

The audience was also moved by the fierce battle. They waved their flags and shouted loudly to cheer for the players they supported. The cheers and shouts were so loud that they seemed to overturn the entire battle area.

Jiang Sheng's eyes swept across the battlefield, and suddenly, his eyes fixed on a figure - that was the elite of the Lin family, Lin Langtian. Lin Langtian was wearing a green robe, with a handsome face and extraordinary temperament. He stood on the battlefield, like a towering mountain, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

Then, Lin Langtian's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot, leaving only Lin Langtian's opponent, a strong man from a foreign tribe named Lei Zhen. Lei Zhen was burly and muscular, like a moving hill. He held a huge battle axe, the axe blade flashed with cold light and looked extremely sharp. His eyes flashed like thunder, and he rushed towards Lin Langtian with great momentum.

Lin Langtian, the elite of the Lin family, seemed unusually calm. He was wearing a green robe, with a handsome face and a gleam of wisdom in his eyes. Facing Lei Zhen's fierce attack, he just smiled slightly, as if everything was under control.

Lei Zhen's giant axe slashed towards Lin Langtian with the force of thunder. The axe blade drew a silver track in the air, as if it was going to split everything in half. However, Lin Langtian seemed to have already seen through the opponent's attack trajectory. He moved his feet lightly, slightly turned his body, and easily dodged this fierce attack.

While dodging, Lin Langtian's hands were not idle. He waved his sleeves lightly, and an invisible force swept towards Lei Zhen. Although this force seemed gentle, it contained extremely strong internal strength. Lei Zhen felt the impact of this force and his body involuntarily stepped back a few steps.

The audience exclaimed when they saw this scene. They didn't expect Lin Langtian to be so powerful that he could easily deal with Lei Zhen's attack without even summoning a summoned beast. Lei Zhen also showed a surprised expression on his face. He obviously didn't expect Lin Langtian to dodge his attack so easily.

At this time, Lin Langtian still had a calm smile on his face. He seemed not to take Lei Zhen's attack seriously, but continued to maintain a calm attitude.

A faint afterimage. When he appeared again, he was already behind his opponent. He slapped his palm lightly and directly knocked his opponent away. The whole process was as fast as lightning, making people dazzled.
