Chapter 463 The competition is about to begin
Outside the secret room where Xiao Ling retreated, several figures were floating quietly in the air, and their eyes were all fixed on the direction of the secret room.
These people were Xun'er and the others who hurried over after sensing the fluctuations caused by Xiao Ling's breakthrough.
Time passed quietly, but Xiao Ling still did not emerge from the secret room.
It's been so long, why hasn't that guy Xiao Ling come out yet? Zi Yan frowned slightly, a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes. She finally couldn't help but speak, with a bit of doubt in her voice, "The Dan meeting will start soon. If you are late, then But something is wrong. "
"Sister Xun'er, should we go in and remind the young master?" Qing Lin slowly shifted her gaze and landed on the leader, Xun'er, with a hint of urgency in her voice.
Qinglin is well aware of Xiao Ling's efforts for this Dan meeting, and she knows how much Xiao Ling attaches great importance to this competition. Therefore, she couldn't help but feel a trace of worry in her heart, fearing that something would go wrong and her young master would miss the opportunity to compete.
Hearing this, Xun'er frowned slightly, seeming to be touched by the two women's worries. However, her expression soon returned to calm, and she shook her head gently, with a hint of firmness and trust in her tone: "Since Brother Xiao Ling hasn't shown up yet, he must have his own sense of humor and is dealing with some important matters." Things. We might as well wait patiently here and don’t worry too much..."
Xun'er's words were like spring breeze and rain, soothing the emotions of everyone present. Her calmness made people relax their tense heartstrings.
Although delaying time may cause Xiao Ling to miss the start of the last round of the alchemy competition, resulting in being late. However, the rules are set by people after all, and there is always room for flexibility.
Given Xiao Ling's status in the Dan Pagoda and the good relationship between him and the Dan Pagoda, even if there is a delay, the Dan Pagoda will definitely provide some accommodation.
Furthermore, even if some old guys in Danta want to suppress others with rules and make puzzling decisions, Xun'er, as the eldest lady of the ancient tribe, has enough confidence.
In her opinion, Danta will never ignore her face. After all, the reputation of the ancient clan is also very important on the mainland.
As if sensing the growing anxiety in everyone's hearts, the door to the secret room, which had been closed for countless days and nights, finally opened slowly from the inside out after a period of silence.
With a long "creak", the door opened, and the sound echoed in the quiet air, breaking the original tranquility.
This sudden movement immediately attracted several people who were talking, and their eyes turned to the door that gradually opened.
The sunlight pours down from high places like flowing water, passing through the gaps in the eaves and shining dappledly into the depths of the secret room.
In this intertwining of light and shadow, a slender figure gradually walked from the darkness into the light.
As the figure moved, it gradually appeared clearly in front of everyone's eyes.
The sun cast a soft halo on his body, making his outlines more distinct.
Haha, it seems I have worried you, I'm really sorry. "
The moment Xiao Ling stepped out of the secret room, he raised his head and looked at the few people standing in the air. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a light and gentle smile.
Seeing Xiao Ling's appearance, several women felt a surge of joy in their hearts. They floated lightly to the ground and gathered around Xiao Ling like colorful clouds chasing the moon.
This scene is like a picture of stars holding the moon. If anyone else sees it, they will be extremely envious.
How can one be surrounded by so many stunning beauties without making other men jealous, and some may even become unbalanced and unable to control themselves.
Even Chu Wanqing, who had already disappeared and left the place quietly, could not help but be attracted by the beautiful scene below, and her eyes could not help but stay for a moment.
Seeing such a scene, the resentment in her heart due to Xiao Ling's sudden attack seemed to deepen.
Gently touching her still red and swollen lips, Chu Wanqing secretly gritted her teeth and whispered to herself: "This little bastard dares to treat me so lightly. Now it seems that he is really a carefree person. Next time If I have the chance, I will make you look good and teach you a lesson."
As if something was touched deep in his soul, Xiao Ling suddenly raised his head, his eyes penetrated the sky, and stared at a void in the distance.
Although he didn't catch anything strange in his eyes, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but curl up into a smile.
This scene fell into the eyes of Chu Wanqing, who was leaving quietly. She suppressed the shame in her heart and accelerated her departure.
At the same time, a woman's subtle cold snort suddenly sounded deep in Xiao Ling's mind, and the inexplicable feeling gradually faded away.
After realizing this, Xiao Ling also understood that Chu Wanqing had indeed left.
"Next time I see you, I won't let you run away so easily..."
After talking with Xun'er and others, Xiao Ling didn't waste too much time, and they all set off one after another. The goal of their trip was directly to the place where the final competition of the Alchemy Club would be held.
…
This is a breathtaking vast square, its scale is enough to shock people.
All around the square, there was a sea of people, and the crowds were as dense as ants, stretching to the limit of the field of vision.
The deafening noise, like the roar of an angry dragon, resounded throughout the sky. The sound wave was so strong that it even tore the clouds in the sky into pieces.
Above the square, many stone platforms were suspended in the air. They were like constellations in the sky, becoming the most eye-catching focus of the whole venue.
Because the final showdown of this alchemy meeting will be fiercely unfolded on this stone platform.
After the relative silence of the previous few days, the popularity of the square reached a climax today.
Because today is the day when the alchemy world opens, only those alchemists who can stand out from the alchemy world are qualified to continue to participate in the next alchemy meeting.
The atmosphere of the entire square was extremely hot, and countless eyes were focused on the center of the square.
There, a huge portal built of black rocks stood tall, and in the portal, the space fluctuated and twisted. That was the exit of the alchemy world.
Soon, those contestants who successfully passed the second level will step out of this door to welcome their glorious moment.
On a prominent platform in the square, Xuan Kongzi stood quietly, his eyes like torches, overlooking the boiling scene below. His long robe fluttered gently in the wind, looking particularly detached.
On both sides of him stood two girls with very different temperaments, both of whom were stunningly beautiful. They were Cao Ying and Dan Chen.
"In a moment, the Dan Realm will reopen. When all the contestants show up, you two can show up here together. In this way, even if the onlookers or those who come to watch the game notice you, they will only think that you have just stepped out of the Dan Realm. This arrangement can save you a lot of unnecessary trouble."
Xuan Kongzi's tone was indifferent, but his voice was clearly heard by Dan Chen and Cao Ying.
The two women nodded in agreement when they heard this. At this moment, their eyes were all cast on the magnificent square below, and their eyes could not help but flash with anticipation.
They had already made full preparations for the upcoming alchemy competition. When the moment came, they would go all out to show their talents and strengths...
"Hmm? It seems that Xiao Ling has arrived. I heard that he was practicing in seclusion before, and I thought he would show up later."
At this time, Xuan Kongzi seemed to have sensed something, and he uttered a surprised exclamation softly, and his eyes followed the sense and then cast towards the top of a high tower on the edge of the square.
At the top of the tower, a man and a woman stood hand in hand, and their figures were particularly eye-catching in the sun.
When he saw the man's face clearly, it was none other than Xiao Ling who had just finished his seclusion.
Xiao Ling naturally felt Xuan Kongzi's gaze, and he turned his head to look in that direction and nodded gently to greet him.
Then, his eyes turned to Cao Ying and Dan Chen, the two women beside Xuan Kongzi.
At this time, Cao Ying looked at Xiao Ling with a hint of resentment. It was not known whether it was because Xiao Ling had not come to look for her these days, or because Xiao Ling was accompanied by a beautiful woman at this time, not herself. The melancholy was obvious.
Dan Chen seemed a little shy, but she still gave Xiao Ling a gentle smile. The joy in her shyness was like a flower quietly blooming in spring.
Xiao Ling was about to respond to Cao Ying and Dan Chen, but his eyes were suddenly attracted by some unusual movements.
Turning his head, he saw that waves of violent space fluctuations suddenly emerged at the space gate in the field. The force seemed to tear the surrounding air, bringing an inexplicable sense of oppression.
"The space gate is open!" And in the audience seats around the square, someone immediately shouted loudly, full of excitement and expectation.
At the moment when the space fluctuations emerged, the boundless sea of people around him instantly boiled up, and the cheers were like a tsunami, resounding through the sky.
Countless pairs of eyes focused at the same time, with fiery gazes cast on the slowly opening space gate.
Under the focus of the audience, the fluctuations of the space gate became more and more violent, as if it was about to break.
Finally, one figure after another slowly stepped out of the gate, and each of their steps seemed steady and powerful.
When their feet finally touched the ground of the square, the cheers of the whole audience reached a climax, like rolling thunder, shaking everyone's heart.
In the stands, the cheers of the audience were like a landslide and tsunami, expressing the highest respect for these contestants who successfully crossed the space gate.
The alchemists who can reach here are undoubtedly the elites among the elites in the entire continent.

Even if they choose to give up the competition at this moment, there will definitely be countless forces vying to invite them and treat them as guests of honor.
As more and more figures filed out of the space gate, the cheers were like boiling water, getting higher and higher.
The huge square seemed to tremble slightly under the impact of the sound waves, and every stone slab seemed to resonate, witnessing the glory and honor of this moment.
As the test contestants appeared one after another, Dan Chen and Cao Ying did not delay any longer. Xuan Kongzi raised his hand and waved it gently, and immediately opened a space channel beside the two of them. Seeing this, Dan Chen and Cao Ying stepped into it without hesitation.
The next moment, they suddenly appeared in the space channel in the center of the square, as if two meteors streaked through the night sky, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
Their appearance looked just like the previous contestants, making it easy for people to have an illusion that they had just stepped out of the Dan Realm.
Witnessing the departure of Dan Chen and Cao Ying, Xiao Ling gently clenched the soft and boneless little hand in his palm, and the delicate touch seemed to convey a kind of silent support.
He turned his head and showed a warm smile to Xun'er beside him, with a firm light in his eyes, and said softly: "Xun'er, I'll take the first step. Next, let's see how I do in this Danhui." Let’s show off our talents on the stage.”
Xun'er quietly stared at Xiao Ling's high-spirited appearance, and saw a sincere smile blooming on her elegant and pure face.
"Brother Xiao Ling, go ahead, Xun'er will be cheering for you in the audience." Her voice was soft and firm, full of immense confidence in Xiao Ling.
Xiao Ling nodded slightly, his palm gently brushed the side of Xun'er's face, and then, he left a kiss as light as a feather on Xun'er's forehead.
Then, he slowly let go of Xun'er's hand, turned around and stepped forward, lightly touching the void with his soles, and his figure seemed to melt into the air, gradually fading away until he completely disappeared in place.
In an instant, Xiao Ling's figure silently drew a subtle ripple in the void, and then appeared next to Cao Ying and Dan Chen.
"Cao Ying, sister Danchen, I haven't seen you for a few days. You two seem to be in very good condition." Xiao Ling smiled softly, his eyes lightly swept over the two women, and he said casually.
"Congratulations to Brother Xiao Ling for your further improvement in cultivation. Dan Chen would like to congratulate you here."
Danchen lowered his head slightly and nodded with a hint of shyness. Her soft and soft voice gently escaped from her small lips, which made people feel a protective desire in their hearts and wanted to step forward to caress them gently. This shy girl.
"Although your breakthrough in cultivation is worthy of celebration, I will not be merciful in the upcoming competition."
Cao Ying stared at Xiao Ling with burning eyes, her tone revealed unquestionable seriousness,
"Let me witness with my own eyes how much progress you have made during this period of time."
Xiao Ling smiled softly, a glimmer of confidence flashed in his eyes, and he said leisurely,
"Haha, don't worry. My strength will be revealed when the elixir is refined. You two have to work harder. After all, the fight for the second throne will not be easy. You can get it..."
As Xiao Ling, Cao Ying and Dan Chen appeared on the square together, the atmosphere instantly boiled.
Xiao Ling has a tall and straight figure and a majestic air, Cao Ying is charming and has an extraordinary temperament, while Dan Chen is gentle and pleasant, fresh and refined.
The three of them stood together like this, forming a beautiful scenery, which made the audience excited. The cheers came one after another and could not subside for a long time.
The cheers that were already warm were like boiling water at this moment, the sound was rolling and rising.
The audience's eyes were firmly fixed on these three outstanding young people. Their arrival undoubtedly added countless brilliance to this event.
As beings with the true ability of eighth-grade alchemists, the names of Xiao Ling, Cao Ying and Dan Chen have already been widely spread in the Alchemy Association. They are undoubtedly strong contenders for the championship of this conference.
The same premonition arose in the hearts of the audience. If nothing unexpected happens, the crown of this alchemy meeting will probably be won by these three outstanding young alchemists...
…
On the high platform, next to where Xuan Kongzi was standing before, two more figures suddenly appeared. Taking a closer look, it was the other two giants of the Dan Pagoda, Xuan Yi and Tian Lei Zi.
Tianleizi glanced at the square casually, raised his brows slightly, and said with a bit of surprise in his tone: "Tsk, tsk, just now the great elder asked me about the whereabouts of his apprentice. Now it seems that it is indeed... I was attacked by the Soul Palace."
"The young man named Song Qing, although his talent is pretty good, is too narrow-minded and destined to have difficulty achieving great things. It is said that he blocked some harm for Ying'er at the critical moment, so his life is considered to be in vain." Xuan Yi There was indifference in his words and he said calmly.
"Well, after all, he is our disciple of Danta. No matter what, his death is always a pity."
Xuan Kongzi shook his head slightly, with a helpless emotion in his tone,
"After that, we should give some condolences to their family and properly appease the great elder's emotions to avoid anything unpleasant happening."
"By the way, the Little Alchemy Pagoda recently sent someone to report that they think highly of Xiao Ling and intend to invite him to join the Little Alchemy Pagoda." Xuan Kongzi changed the topic gently, with a hint of approval in his tone. , "If he wins the Danhui Championship this time, the three of us will have a private discussion with him."
"To be able to make those old guys look at him differently, there is something extraordinary about this young man."
Tianleizi raised his eyebrows in surprise. He knew the selection criteria of Xiaodan Pagoda very well, and their strictness was extraordinary. In the final analysis, Xiao Lingcai was just a budding alchemy genius, but he had already won such attention. , it’s really unbelievable.
"Those pedantic old guys actually assigned the three of us to recruit new people at the exit. Can't they invite them in person? What a bunch of old stubborns." Xuan Yi said with a little dissatisfaction in his tone.
Feeling the undisguised sullenness revealed in Xuan Yi's words, Xuan Kongzi and Tianleizi looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
After all, Yao Chen declined Xiao Danta's invitation, which caused some rifts in the relationship between the two parties.
Therefore, Xuan Yi naturally had deep prejudices against those senior people in the Little Alchemy Pagoda.
Although they both knew the cause and effect of the matter, they were reluctant to say more on this issue.
As they pondered, the figure in the white robe appeared in their minds at the same time.
I wonder if there will be a chance to meet again in this life... (End of this chapter)
