Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

On the other side, Ye Xinlan brought Xiao Yan and Feng Qing'er to the guest rooms and said goodbye before leaving. Xiao Yan and Feng Qing'er then went into their respective guest rooms.

After closing the door of the guest room and placing the coffin against the wall, Yao Chen's figure appeared and he looked at Xiao Yan with a serious expression.

"Xiao Yanzi, Xuan Yi is now one of the three giants in Dan Pagoda. Since the Cao family girl is Xuan Yi's disciple, she must not be underestimated." Yao Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze was very serious, "If it is what we expected, Not bad, that girl from the Cao family probably learned [soul skills] from Xuan Yi."

"Soul skill?" Hearing this unfamiliar word, Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Senior Yao, what is the soul skill?"

"As the name suggests, it is similar to fighting skills, except that the fighting spirit is replaced by soul power. Soul skills that can only be performed by high-level alchemists. As far as I know, only Danta contains many soul skills." He said this. Yao Chen spread his hands lightly, "After all, tomorrow's competition is not about refining medicine but about soul power. If the rumors about the Cao family witch are true, her soul power is probably better than yours. If she uses soul skills again, , As far as the competition of soul power is concerned, you may not be able to beat her."

If Cao Ying could be called a witch in a place like Shengdan City where alchemists gathered, and was accepted as a disciple by Xuanyi, she must not be an ordinary genius. Even if she hadn't met her in person, Yao Shen would directly take Cao Ying's soul. The power is assumed to be higher than that of Xiao Yan, which is a quite reasonable guess.

After all, this is not a battle, but a competition of soul power. Xiao Yan's heaven-defying strength has no effect at all. If Cao Ying uses soul skills when her soul power is stronger than Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan may really be unable to compete.

After listening to Yao Shen's words, Xiao Yan nodded clearly, then frowned slightly.

"Senior Yao, do you mean that I start learning now?" Xiao Yan looked at Yao Shen with some worry, "I will meet with him tomorrow, is there really enough time?"

Unexpectedly, Yao Chen shook his head slightly, his expression also a little helpless.

"Let's not talk about whether you can learn it in just one day. We have never learned it before, and we don't have it. We can't teach you even if we want to."

Looking at the medicine in his hands, Xiao Yan looked stunned.

No way? Not even Senior Yao?

In Xiao Yan's heart, as long as there is anything related to the alchemist, there is nothing that Yao Shen can't do.

Yao Chen also saw the shock in Xiao Yan's eyes, raised his jade hand and waved it lightly.

"After all, soul skills are generally not needed. Even if soul power is used in battle, it is mostly based on soul strength. Our soul power can easily crush other people's souls even if we don't know soul skills."

Yao Shen paused and continued.

"Soul power, in terms of skills, is more reflected in refining medicine. As for combat, it's basically a matter of strength. Whoever has stronger soul power has the final say. The so-called soul skills are just the icing on the cake. , it doesn’t matter if you have it or not.”

"But didn't you say that my soul power should not be comparable to that Cao Ying?"

Xiao Yan looked troubled. He had no soul skills and couldn't beat Cao Ying with his soul power. Isn't this a proper defeat?

To be honest, losing this match is nothing to Xiao Yan, but don't forget, the rule Xuan Yi set for the Ye family is that he must outsmart Cao Ying in soul power before he can participate in the Dan meeting. If he loses, he will not be able to participate in the Dan meeting. Yes, the magic core of the Sky Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast that is the championship prize is even more out of reach.

"So it's up to you to find a way." Yao Chen smiled, "Soul skills sound nice, but in fact they are just methods of controlling soul power summarized by predecessors. As long as the soul control ability is sufficient, you can create a soul skill by yourself. The technique is not difficult.”

"As the saying goes, master leads you in. Cultivation depends on oneself. You can't rely on us for everything. This time, you should find a way on your own first. If you really can't do it, I will help you as a master."

Seeing the smile on Yao Chen's face, Xiao Yan paused for a while, then nodded heavily in response.

"Disciple, obey the order!"

The next day, a simple arena was set up at the Danta Registration Office, and the surrounding area was unusually lively.

Logically speaking, the registration for the Alchemy Club has come to an end. Those who should register have already registered, and those who cannot register have given up. In the last few days, the registration area of ​​the Alchemy Pagoda should be relatively deserted.

Because of this, this strange situation attracted many pedestrians to stop and talk about it.

"Hey, why are there so many people here today? Isn't the registration almost over?"

"I heard it seems to be related to the Ye family's participation in the competition."

"Ye family? Aren't they already banned?"

"Eh~ You don't understand this, right? My ban has been lifted a few years ago, but Elder Xuanyi gave the order to die. Unless the Ye family finds someone who can compete with the Cao family's enchantress in terms of soul power, otherwise We will never approve the Ye family’s participation.”

"Huh? Isn't Elder Xuanyi simply being difficult? The only ones who can compete with the Cao family's enchantress in terms of soul power are those old guys who have been famous for a long time. Who would be free to do anything at that level? Helping the Ye family?"

"So, the Ye family has not been able to participate in the alchemy meeting again in the past few years. This year, it seems that a high-level alchemist was found from nowhere. I heard that the temporary assessment office set up in the alchemy tower yesterday was refined by this alchemist. The seventh-grade elixir Dan Lei was destroyed!"

"Seventh grade?! Is there smoke coming out of the Ye family's ancestral grave? Can you find someone of this level to help?"

While the surrounding pedestrians were talking, someone shouted something loudly.

"Elder Xuanyi and the enchantress of the Cao family are here!"

As this voice fell, the crowd instantly separated into a passage, and Xuan Yi was seen walking to the edge of the ring. Her elegant figure broke into everyone's sight. Cao Ying also followed her leisurely, with eyes in her eyes. Full of curiosity.

To be honest, Cao Ying thought that the registration was about to end and she would have nothing to do in the past two days. She could just wait for the elixir meeting to begin. Unexpectedly, the Ye family sent a message yesterday, saying that she would compete with her according to Xuan Yi's previous instructions. Soul power.

When they heard the message from the Ye family, Xuan Yi and Cao Ying immediately stood up and thought of the mysterious alchemist who refined the seventh-grade elixir at the temporary assessment office of the Dan Pagoda yesterday.

Almost all the alchemists with heads, faces, names and surnames came, but there was no one who was capable and willing to help the Ye family.

Let's not talk about whether the Ye family can provide corresponding rewards. This rule was set by Xuan Yi himself. Helping the Ye family is equivalent to going against Xuan Yi. Not many people are willing to touch this bad luck.

By the way, who is the person who promised to help the Ye family? Doesn't that person know who Xuan Yi is? How dare you take over the Ye family's job?

Just when everyone, including Xuan Yi and Cao Ying, was confused, the Ye family finally came to the other side of the ring, and Xuan Yi narrowed his beautiful eyes and looked at them.

She naturally knew the leader, Ye Zhen, and the girl following behind him was Ye Zhen's daughter, Ye Xinlan. As for Xiao Yan and Feng Qing'er, who was carrying the coffin, she really had no memory.

Well? wrong?

Xuan Yi was stunned and looked at Feng Qing'er.

I remember this girl was a disciple of Venerable Lei? Why is she here?

Xuan Yi's mind was filled with questions. Fenglei Pavilion and Dan Pagoda had never had any contact. Why did Feng Qing'er suddenly come to Sheng Dan City? And it looks like she is on the side of the Ye family?

But soon, Xuan Yi realized that the protagonist this time was not Feng Qing'er, at least she had never heard that Feng Qing'er could make medicine.

In this case, only the last one remains.

Xuan Yi turned his gaze to Xiao Yan, but his soul power suddenly trembled.

I don't know why, although it was the first time Xuan Yi saw Xiao Yan, he felt a familiar aura from him that he hadn't seen for a long time.

Chapter 580 Soul Competition

On the top of the Dan Pagoda, a man with an elegant temperament saw the crowd gathered at the entrance of the Dan Pagoda's registration office from a distance, with slight doubts in his eyes.

"Huh? Why is the registration office so noisy today?"

After the man asked, the Danta staff on the side explained to him respectfully.

"Back to Master Xuan Kongzi, because of the rule that Elder Xuanyi made specifically for the Ye family, the Ye family specially hired an alchemist to compete with Miss Cao Ying in soul power today."

The Danta staff's answer immediately revealed the man's identity. He was actually Xuan Kongzi, one of the three giants of the Danta along with Xuan Yi!

"Oh? Did the Ye family find someone to help?"

Xuan Kongzi looked a little surprised. The ancestor originally gave the Ye family the punishment of being expelled from the five major families and banned from the competition for thirty years. After taking office, Xuan Yi thought it was not enough, so he added another one privately. If the Ye family wanted to participate after the ban was lifted, The Danhui must find someone to compete with Cao Ying for soul power, and only after winning can he participate in the Danhui.

Although this request is a bit outrageous, considering Xuan Yi's identity and the things the Ye family has done, no one thinks there is a problem.

However, those who want to compete with the Cao family enchantress in soul power must be at least a seventh-grade alchemist or above.

However, it is a pity that since the Ye family made a big mistake and was expelled from the five major families, the overall power of the Ye family has declined rapidly in these years. They should not have the extra financial resources to hire a seventh-grade or above alchemist to help.

Ye Zhen, the head of the Ye family, also has average alchemy talent, and is currently only a fifth-grade alchemist.

Although I heard that her daughter Ye Xinlan was slightly better and had just passed the sixth-grade alchemist exam a few days ago.

However, compared with Cao Ying, he is still far behind, and Ye Zhen himself knows this very well.

Who is the person that the Ye family asked to help today?

"Xuan Kongzi."

A calm voice reached Xuan Kongzi's ears. Xuan Kongzi turned his head slightly and smiled softly when he saw the person coming.

"I thought you wouldn't make it back."

"Dan Gui is such an important thing. If I can't come back in time, I don't know how many people will gossip about it."

The person who came was a steady man with a solemn face and a beard. Anyone who saw this man at first glance would think that he was a militant person.

However, in fact, this man is the last of the Danta Big Three.

The name is Tianleizi.

"How did this outing turn out?"

Xuan Kongzi asked with a smile, while Tianleizi showed a little displeasure and waved his hand impatiently.

"Don't mention it now. I've been going around Zhongzhou for a long time, but I can't find a single alchemist that I can catch my eye."

Saying this, Tianleizi also felt deeply depressed.

Xuan Yi accepted the demon girl from the Cao family as his disciple, and Xuan Kongzi accepted Dan Chen from the Dan family as his disciple. They were both one of the three giants of the Dan Pagoda. It would be a shame not to accept a genius.

Originally, he was optimistic about Song Qing, but as a result, that boy became the youngest alchemy elder early on, and his family had no shortage of alchemy teachers, so Tianleizi had to give up.

"Well, let's put my matters aside for now. This time I heard some terrible news." Tianleizi frowned, looked at Xuankongzi and said solemnly: "You know about the Sifang Pavilion conference some time ago, right?"

"Well, doesn't Sifang Pavilion hold it every year? What's wrong?"

Xuan Kongzi raised his eyebrows lightly, and Tianleizi continued.

"I heard that at the Sifang Pavilion conference, Yao Chen's disciples participated as representatives of Xingyun Pavilion."

"Huh?!" Xuan Kongzi was suddenly startled, "Her disciple? Han Feng?"

"It doesn't seem to be the case. I heard it's a man named Xiao Yan."

".Is it possible that it's an imposter?"

Xuan Kongzi's eyes became colder. Yao Shen had disappeared for so many years, why did a disciple other than Han Feng suddenly appear?

However, after asking this question, Xuan Kongzi realized how stupid his question was and raised his hand and waved it lightly.

"forget it."

Forget it in other places, Feng Xian, who claimed to be Yao Shen's disciple at the Sifang Pavilion Conference, would not let him go if he was really a fake.

From this point of view, Xiao Yan's claim to be Yao Shen's disciple should be true.

"Haha~ That female gangster, I haven't seen her for so many years, so I thought something had happened."

Xuan Kongzi smiled in relief. Although he, like everyone else, had a deep understanding of Yao Shen's bad character, it was still the same thing.

Although this woman Yao Shen has a bad character and is hated by others, she is by no means a bad person.

On the contrary, the people who have received her help are far more than the people she has deceived, and this woman's deception methods have always been to the point where they are just above the other party's bottom line. This can be regarded as a kind of It's up to you.

But for Xuan Yi personally, he probably hates medicine to the extreme.

"Huh? Wait?"

Xuan Kongzi was suddenly startled, looking at the huge crowd outside the Danta registration office, and a guess suddenly emerged in his mind.

Speaking of the reason why the Ye family ended up in such a situation, Yao Shen was definitely responsible for this irresistible problem. It can be said that the Ye family and Yao Shen had a close relationship.

Some time ago, a disciple who claimed to be Yao Shen appeared, and today the Ye family brought people to compete with Cao Ying for soul power. Isn't this timing too coincidental?

"Xuan Kongzi, what's wrong?"

Looking at Xuan Kongzi who was suddenly stunned, Tianleizi raised his eyebrows in confusion. Xuan Kongzi did not answer, but said lightly.

"Let's go down and have a look together."

After saying that, Xuan Kongzi's figure disappeared from the spot. Although Tianleizi was strange, he also flashed and followed Xuan Kongzi to the outside of the Danta registration office. He stood in mid-air and looked down at the people in the field. situation.

"Elder Xuanyi, long time no see."

I saw Ye Zhen saluting Xuanyi respectfully, his posture obviously lowered.

In terms of strength and status, he, the head of the Ye family, is far inferior to Xuan Yi, but Ye Zhen still has this self-awareness.

Although the rules Xuan Yi set for the Ye family were indeed a bit arrogant, but thinking about what the Ye family had done in the past, it can only be said that Xuan Yi's arrogance still showed mercy.

Ye Zhen's greeting made Xuan Yi look away from Xiao Yan, glanced at Ye Zhen with his beautiful eyes, and said calmly.

"No need for greetings. I'm here today just to fulfill the previous regulations for your Ye family."

After saying that, Xuan Yi turned his head slightly and glanced at Cao Ying. Cao Ying nodded and stood on the ring, staring closely at Xiao Yan beside Ye Zhen.

"Cao Ying, please give me some advice."

After Cao Ying announced her family status, Xiao Yan immediately stood on the stage.

"A guest of the Ye family, Xiao Yan."

Xiao Yan? Is it really him? !

When Xuan Kongzi heard Xiao Yan's self-reported name, his guess was verified. Tianleizi also looked at Xiao Yan in shock.

"That boy is Yao Chen's new disciple?"
