Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

"Haha~ It would be terrible if Xuan Yi knew about this."

Xuan Kongzi put his hands behind his back and smiled softly.

Xuan Yi below also noticed the two people standing in the air, and thought that they were just bored and came here to watch the fight, so he ignored them.

Then Xuan Yi's figure flashed onto the stage and stood between Xiao Yan and Cao Ying. She glanced at the two of them with her beautiful eyes and slightly parted her seductive red lips.

"Are you all ready?"

"Ah."

Xiao Yan and Cao Ying nodded in agreement at the same time, Xuan Yi slowly raised his hand and said loudly.

"Then the first part of the soul competition begins now."

Xuan Yi waved his hand lightly, and a stone tablet as tall as one person appeared on the stage. Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw the stone tablet.

Does it look similar to the stone tablet used to test the family's fighting spirit?

Sure enough, Xuan Yi's subsequent explanation proved Xiao Yan's guess was correct.

"This is a soul-measuring monument. By injecting your soul into it, you can digitize your soul power." Xuan Yi glanced at Xiao Yan and said lightly: "If the gap between your soul power and Cao Ying's is too big, the following steps There’s no need to compare.”

Although Xuan Yi's words may sound cold, there is nothing wrong with them at all. If even the most basic soul power is completely different, then there is really no need to continue to waste time later, and they will definitely lose.

"Thank you, senior, for reminding me. I will do my best, junior."

Xiao Yan nodded heavily, and he could immediately tell from his temperament and words that he was a person who usually paid great attention to self-cultivation. This made Xuan Yi slightly stunned, and his attitude towards Xiao Yan became slightly better.

However, the expressions of Xuan Kongzi and Tianleizi standing in mid-air were a little strange, and they couldn't help but ask questions in their hearts.

Is such a polite kid really a disciple of Yao Shen?

It is true that although Han Feng is not as bad as Yao Shen, he is probably born with a cold temperament, and his attitude towards everyone is neither good nor bad, so he can be accepted if he can do it.

But Xiao Yan is... incomprehensible. This is completely contrary to Yao Shen's character, right?

"Cao Ying, you come first."

Xuan Yi looked at Cao Ying. Cao Ying walked to the soul-measuring monument with long legs. She raised her jade hand slightly and poured her soul power into the soul-measuring monument along the palm of her hand.

Then the soul-measuring stele that received the soul power suddenly shone brightly, piercing the onlookers so hard that they couldn't open their eyes. After a few seconds, when the bright light dissipated, a string of words was revealed on the soul-measuring stele.

【One thousand eight hundred and forty six】

"One thousand eight hundred and forty-six?!"

"You are truly worthy of being a witch from the Cao family. I heard that few of the alchemy elders can reach this level."

"It seems that among my peers, only Song Qing and the girl from the Dan family can compare, but they are still not as good as the enchantress from the Cao family."

"Can this kid do it?"

The surrounding audience burst out in exclamation, and cast suspicious eyes on Xiao Yan. Cao Ying also retreated to her original position, folding her slender arms, and looked at Xiao Yan quietly with her beautiful eyes.

Xiao Yan took a deep breath, and then stepped forward to stand in front of the soul-measuring monument. He raised his hand and reached towards the soul-measuring monument. His eyes were full of seriousness, and he poured his soul power into it.

Similar to the Cao family witch, the moment Xiao Yan's soul power was injected into the soul-measuring monument, a bright light suddenly burst out, causing everyone to close their eyes.

When everyone opened their eyes again and saw clearly the values ​​displayed on the soul measuring tablet, everyone was stunned.

One thousand. Eight hundred and forty-six. Huh? !

One thousand eight hundred and forty-six? ! Exactly the same value as Cao Ying! Same score!

Xuan Yi was also stunned when he saw this number. He couldn't help but stepped forward and put his hand on the soul measuring monument to see if it was damaged.

With such a high value, the two are exactly the same, and it's hard not to think that something is wrong.

Xiao Yan also didn't expect that the value he measured was exactly the same as Cao Ying. He stood there waiting for Xuan Yi to announce the result.

After a long time, Xuan Yi took his hand away from the soul-measuring tablet and spoke slowly under everyone's gaze.

"There is no problem with the Soul Measuring Monument. The two of them have indeed scored equally."

Same score! It’s really the same score!

After receiving Xuan Yi's confirmation, the audience immediately became excited. Cao Ying was also shocked and looked at Xiao Yan who breathed a deep sigh of relief in astonishment.

Cao Ying is very confident. At least in terms of soul power value, no one among her peers can surpass her, not even Song Qing and Dan Chen.

This was the first time that she met a person of the same generation as herself.

After a brief moment of shock, the corners of Cao Ying's mouth raised slightly.

I thought it was just a small episode before Dan's meeting started.

Now it seems that it is impossible not to be serious.

"As expected of Yao Chen's disciple, his soul power is as good as Cao Ying's."

Xuan Kongzi was amazed, and Tianleizi's expression on the side was slightly distorted.

Another monster. Why are these people so lucky in recruiting disciples? Just your own life?

While others were surprised by Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan himself was secretly confused.

According to what Yao Chen said, his soul power is only slightly higher than that of ordinary people. Although his soul power has improved a lot over the years as his level of medicine refining has improved, there is no reason to argue with this widely rumored person. Cao Ying gets the same score, right?

Although Xiao Yan was very confused, Yao Shen immediately understood.

Xiao Yan's own soul power is definitely not up to this level. It is probably related to the soul in his body. It is probably that Xiao Yan unconsciously absorbed some of the soul power leaked by the soul.

But no matter what, the first session passed safely, and Ye Zhen was filled with excitement when he saw Xiao Yan and Cao Ying sharing the same score.

finally! There is finally hope for the Ye family!

"As expected of leader Xiao Yan!"

Ye Xinlan waved her fists excitedly, while Feng Qing'er looked at Xiao Yan on the stage and smiled without saying anything else.

Again, this result is not surprising at all when it comes to Xiao Yan.

"It seems that the Ye family is indeed well prepared this time." Xuan Yi glanced at Xiao Yan indifferently, then put away the soul measuring tablet with a wave of his hand, "Then the next step is the second stage."

As Xuan Yi finished speaking, countless beads the size of half a finger appeared in the field and kept jumping up and down. While Xiao Yan was stunned, Xuan Yi opened his mouth to explain.

"These beads are called soul-measuring beads. They are very light if held by the hand, but extremely heavy if held in the soul." Xuan Yi looked at Xiao Yan and said calmly: "What we just compared was the most basic soul power. Value, this round is about soul control."

"Within ten seconds after I start shouting, you two use your soul power to catch the soul beads. As long as the soul power you catch is less than 10% of Cao Ying's, you will pass."

The simple and clear rules made Xiao Yan feel tight inside.

The simpler the rules, the more emphasis is placed on one's own strength.

The competition just now was just about talent, this round is the real competition between the abilities of both sides.

Xuan Yi leaned back slightly and slowly raised his hand.

"Prepare."

Cao Ying looked serious, and Xiao Yan tensed up.

After a few seconds, Xuan Yi's eyes flashed and he waved down his raised hand.

"start!"

Chapter 581 The dead are not eligible for a rematch

The moment Xuan Yi's voice fell, Xiao Yan immediately released his soul power, concentrated his mind and turned his soul power into an invisible big hand, stretched out in mid-air to catch the soul-measuring beads bouncing up and down.

And when Xiao Yan clicked on the giant soul hand and received the first one, his expression suddenly changed.

Heavy! Good weight!

As Xuan Yi said, these soul-testing beads may seem small, but they are a heavy burden for soul power!

Although Xiao Yan already thought that he was taking it seriously, the weight of the soul-measuring bead was still far beyond his expectation, and Xiao Yan was shocked for a moment by this unexpected situation.

After the first soul-measuring bead, more than a dozen more landed on the giant soul hand. Xiao Yan, who was unprepared for a moment, almost crushed the soul-measuring bead that he had just condensed into the giant soul hand.

Everyone could clearly see that Xiao Yan's movements became obviously panicked, and there were big beads of sweat on his forehead, and it was very difficult to stabilize the giant soul hand.

"Mr. Xiao Yan, it seems that you don't look good."

Just when Xiao Yan was relieved, Cao Ying's leisurely voice reached Xiao Yan's ears.

Xiao Yan looked around and his pupils shrank slightly.

In just a few seconds after the opening ceremony, when she had received only a dozen soul-measuring beads, more than thirty soul-measuring beads were already floating in front of Cao Ying. Now this number has increased visibly to the naked eye. Obviously, Cao Ying Ying is already familiar with the process of testing soul beads.

"Mr. Xiao Yan, I would like to remind you something." Cao Ying narrowed her eyes slightly and said very relaxedly: "The number of soul-measuring beads I could catch three years ago was eighty-nine."

Eighty-nine? !

Xiao Yan's expression became more serious. This amount completely exceeded his expectation.

And Xiao Yan heard clearly that Cao Ying was talking about three years ago, and she can definitely handle more now!

Xiao Yan, who understood this, no longer dared to relax even a little bit. He worked hard to stabilize the giant soul hand and at the same time, he tried his best to receive as many soul-testing beads as possible.

As time went by, more and more soul-testing beads floated in front of Cao Ying, but her expression remained so indifferent.

On the other hand, the soul-testing orb in front of Xiao Yan was only half as good as Cao Ying's. This scene was also honored to be ridiculed by many spectators on the sidelines.

"Hey~ I just saw that he and Cao Ying had the same score, and I thought he was a cruel person. This is too big a difference, right?"

"Really, what a pity that talent is."

"This is a pure waste of nature. If I had his soul power, I would definitely receive more than him!"

Xiao Yan, who was fully focused on the competition, had no time to pay attention to the many sarcasm in the audience. In other words, even if Xiao Yan heard it, he would not think there was anything wrong with what they said.

What they said was indeed correct. They clearly had the same soul value as Cao Ying, but the gap turned out to be so huge in the second round. It was indeed not worthy of their first round value.

However, although Xiao Yan had no time to care about other people's opinions, Feng Qing'er in the audience was not willing to listen.

"Hey, you guys."

Feng Qing'er's power instantly overshadowed the talking crowd, and everyone suddenly felt their bodies sink. They looked at the cold-faced Feng Qing'er with fear in their eyes.

Could this coercion be Dou Zun? !

While everyone was in shock, Feng Qing'er glanced at them coldly, her green eyes filled with golden light, invisibly beating everyone's heart.

"Just watch the competition and keep your mouth shut."

The Dou Zun-level warning was so intimidating that all those who had mocked Xiao Yan just now became mute. Ye Zhen and Ye Xinlan felt a complete sense of security from Feng Qing'er.

It's time to say it or not, Dou Zun is so stubborn that no one dares to say no even if he threatens so many people in public.

When Xuan Kongzi saw Feng Qing'er's performance in mid-air, he couldn't help but sigh.

"It should be said that he is worthy of being a disciple of Lord Lei. His violent temper and protective character are really similar."

Speaking of which, the relationship between Master Lei and Yao Shen was extremely bad, but the disciples of the two seemed to get along quite well, which was unpredictable.

Immediately, Xuan Kongzi looked at Xiao Yan, narrowed his eyes slightly, and Tian Leizi on the side said.

"This kid's soul value is so high, why is his soul control so regrettable?"

"You can't blame him. The soul-measuring beads are unique to Shengdan City. He probably has never been exposed to them before. It's normal for him to find them difficult at first."

Xuan Kongzi defended Xiao Yan softly, and it was indeed the case.

Although the difference in soul-measuring beads between Xiao Yan and Cao Ying is indeed a bit large now, the larger number is due to Xiao Yan being caught off guard by the weight of the soul-measuring beads. Now, although Cao Ying still has a much larger number than Xiao Yan, but there is no bigger gap between him and Xiao Yan.

Cao Ying naturally noticed this, her beautiful eyes were slightly raised, and there was a little self-doubt in her eyes.

If Xiao Yan hadn't been careless at first, could he really have opened such a big gap with him?

After thinking for only two or three seconds, Cao Ying came up with the answer.

It should be... No, except for the first time, Xiao Yan's speed of collecting the soul-measuring beads is now completely on par with his own.

He already knew the soul-measuring beads well, but Xiao Yan was just a novice who had just come into contact with the soul-measuring beads.

Thinking like this, Cao Ying suddenly felt that she was a little out of control.

Why don't you slow down a little?

This idea came to Cao Ying's mind. Just when she was about to take action, her eyes suddenly froze.

Xiao Yan gritted his teeth, separated his hands suddenly, and manipulated his soul power under the shocked eyes of Xuan Yi and Cao Ying, and actually separated a second giant soul hand.

This scene made Cao Ying freeze on the spot, and her mind was slightly confused.
