101: C101 Arrogant Xiao Yan

C101 Arrogant Xiao Yan

Hsiao Yan's eyes were fixed on Nie Zhen. With his eyesight, he naturally could see that the ten seeds in Nie Zhen's hand were all living seeds.

"I never thought that other than those two, there was actually a genius of the alchemy hiding in the Duobao Sect … "Looks like I have to be careful..." Hsiao Yan was secretly vigilant.

Although Hsiao Yan was arrogant, he was not a brainless person. He received hints from the higher ups of the Origin Sect, indicating that the alchemy disciples who came to challenge the Duobao Sect were naturally not unscrupulous. Although Nie Zhen had only displayed his insight, it had still been recorded by Hsiao Yan.

"Second Bro, your disciple isn't bad. He actually followed Hsiao Yan closely." Great Sect Master looked at Second Sect Master in surprise.

Duan Rong smiled bitterly, "Average... I wonder what his results will be like … "

Duan Rong was afraid that Nie Zhen might not be able to pick one out, so he might as well close his eyes and randomly choose. He knew nothing about alchemy, so he was unable to see which was the better and which was the worst.

This round of assessment wasn't just about speed. No matter how fast you were, it was useless. You had to have a keen eye.

At this time, Elder Tianhuo excitedly transmitted his voice to the three sect masters, "Three sect masters, just what is the background of this child? The ten seeds he picked out were actually all alive. Even if this child wasn't proficient in alchemy, just with his vision alone, his Pill Tao Talent shouldn't be too far off … "According to conservative estimates, he is only second to Gu Faang and Yun Ling."

"Really?" The three sect masters were pleasantly surprised. Elder Tianhuo was ranked first in terms of his ability to speak on the way of alchemy and even Elder Baicao was not as good as him. Since he had said that, it seemed like Nie Zhen indeed had a future in the way of alchemy.

"Number two, it looks like we don't have a thorough understanding of Nie Zhen. I didn't think that he would have such restraints. I think we should consider it when we nurture him …" Great Sect Master said to Liu Tie with a smile.

"But this child's martial talent should be even higher. We shouldn't waste our time cultivating in the martial way just because of his pill talent. After all, martial arts should be the main trend of this world!" Before Duan Rong could say anything, Fourth Sect Master hurriedly said.

Just when Senior Leader of the Sect was surprised by Nie Zhen's performance, Yun Ling smiled at Gu Faang and said, "Unexpectedly, there's someone in our sect who has a higher opinion than us. It seems like we have another opponent."

Gu Faang said with an ugly expression, "Junior Yun Ling, you must be joking. The path of alchemy is just a small aspect."

Just as the two of them finished speaking, their hands simultaneously stopped. Each of them grabbed ten seeds and brought them to the Enforcer, almost simultaneously completing the task.

After the two of them handed in the seed, they arrived beside Nie Zhen and Hsiao Yan. Yun Ling looked deeply at Nie Zhen for a moment, then went to the furthest corner alone. Gu Faang, in addition to cautiously glancing at Hsiao Yan, then glared at Nie Zhen with hostility, leaving Liu Tie baffled.

However, how could Nie Zhen know that ever since Yun Ling had joined the sect, Gu Faang had always regarded her as his forbidden mistress. Although his cultivation was not one of the top ten in Duobao Sect, Gu Faang thought that in the alchemy dao, other than Yun Ling, no one could compete with him.

Ever since Yun Ling had entered the Duobao Sect realm, she had never shown any interest in anything other than the alchemy path. Gu Faang had always used the matter of the alchemy path to gain Yun Ling's attention, and now, Gu Faang naturally viewed Nie Zhen as his rival in love. Gu Faang's degree of hostility in Gu Faang's heart had already surpassed Hsiao Yan's.

Even though his martial arts strength was not at the peak, but because of his talent in alchemy, he was often seen as a genius by his peers in the sect. They never lacked words of praise, after all, no one wanted to offend a genius of the alchemy path, but Gu Faang actually didn't receive such respect from Nie Zhen, which made him hate Nie Zhen even more.

The other disciples had also successively achieved their goals. However, the seeds that they picked out were a bit unsatisfactory. There were always a few wasted seeds that were picked out as living seeds. There was a certain difference in strength between the previous four disciples.

After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, everyone had already completed their assessment. Even if there were disciples that could not be selected at the last moment, they would randomly choose a few pellets to try their luck with.

After the first round ended, it didn't take long for each disciple's results to be calculated. Besides the first four disciples who had obtained 100 full marks, the remaining disciples' results were all different. The worst disciples had even obtained 20% of the result.

After the first round of integration ended, a disciple immediately removed the round table from the arena and replaced it with a floating machine. At the top of the machine, there were ten boxes, representing ten different grades.

"Nephew Xiao, this grand ceremony was originally an internal test of our sect, so there is no need for you to do this. However, since you are here to participate, let me ask you, do you need to check this machine?" Elder Tianhuo said with an ice-cold expression.

"Hahaha!" Duobao Sect is the true sect, so I naturally do not believe that your sect would resort to any underhanded means! " Hsiao Yan laughed.

What Hsiao Yan said wasn't wrong, Duobao Sect wouldn't play tricks on this kind of problem, otherwise, once word of this spread, Duobao Sect's face would disappear, and this result was something even Great Sect Master couldn't bear.

Elder Tianhuo said in a cold voice, "Since nephew Xiao is not inspecting, then regardless of what the results of the test are, nephew must not have any objections."

The meaning behind his words was that if your grade wasn't good enough, then that was your own problem and you couldn't blame others.

"Humph!" Hsiao Yan snorted coldly with a very arrogant expression. Since things had progressed to this stage, there was no need for him to show off.

Elder Tianhuo looked at Hsiao Yan with dissatisfaction, then announced the start of the second round. Everyone started clapping and accepted the machine's test one by one.

Each and every Duobao Sect disciple came forward to take the Spiritual Awareness Test. Most of the disciples present were of Human Stage, so the power of their Spiritual Awareness was naturally not strong enough.

Moreover, in the cultivation world, most people focused on cultivation. When they cultivated, they would also train soul power. Unless you specialize in the dao of alchemy, Spiritual Awareness wouldn't be particularly strong.0

"Weng …"

When Gu Faang went up on stage for the test, the machine suddenly roared. The seven lights on the top of the machine flashed simultaneously, shocking the four of them.

"Senior Brother Gu is truly amazing!" At most, they will have three or four, and he has directly lit seven! "

"A person who specializes in pill forging is truly incredible. Even a Heaven Realm disciple might not be able to achieve such a feat..."

"In the previous round, he barely managed to tie with that Origin Sect disciple. This time, we should be able to completely defeat him!"

All of a sudden, the surrounding people were full of praise for Gu Faang. Even those high and mighty elders revealed a satisfied expression.

Gu Faang was proud and didn't forget to give a provocative look to Nie Zhen when he got off the stage. There was no need to explain what he meant.

Nie Zhen was confused. He didn't offend him, and the two of them didn't even have any interaction with each other.

Not long after Gu Faang left the stage, Yun Ling also went up on stage. When she took action, she actually lit eight lamps!

"Roar!" Yun Ling is indeed worthy of being my Duobao Sect's number one in the alchemy path.

"Look at those eight lights, they're so bright!"

Yun Ling did indeed have an extremely high talent in the Pill Dao. Under the premise that her cultivation was not as good as Gu Faang's, her Spiritual Awareness was actually one head above his.

"Yun Ling seems to have put in great effort in the Pill Dao. It is indeed not easy to reach such an age …" Even Fourth Sect Master couldn't help but sigh.

Elder Tianhuo also felt proud to see his beloved disciple fight so hard. It seemed that Yun Ling had escaped to first place in the second round.

"Hahahaha!" Just as the entire Duobao Sect was quiet due to Yun Ling's brilliant result, an ear-piercing voice came out from Hsiao Yan's mouth.

"To think that such a result would appear in the Sect's Grand Ceremony of the Alchemy Dao. It seems like the word 'Grand Ceremony' is not worthy of its name. If your sect is concealing such a talent, then this Xiao will be first!"

Hsiao Yan laughed arrogantly. At the same time, he jumped up and landed in front of the machine. His palm hit the Spiritual Array and all nine lanterns lit up at the same time!

"Impossible!" Yun Ling and Gu Faang exclaimed in surprise at the same time. They couldn't believe that Hsiao Yan's soul force could actually ignite nine lanterns. Immediately, their faces turned pale.

At the same time, Elder Tianhuo also turned pale with fright. Although his spiritual strength was not completely equal to the strength of the Pill Dao, it was already an extremely important indicator.

He never thought that the two genius alchemists whom he was most proud of would actually be slapped in the face by someone in such a way due to their soul power. This made him feel extremely embarrassed.

"Damn it... The Origin Sect have been prepared for you … To send such a person, seems like this person is the strongest in the alchemy path among the Origin Sect disciples … " San Great Sect Master thought that it wasn't good.

Although the Duobao Sect of the three sects was the weakest, the difference between the disciples was not that obvious. Hsiao Yan's strength actually surpassed two people directly, and he was probably one of the top figures in the alchemy Dao.

"Hahahaha..." If you were not careful, you would have become serious. Everyone in Duobao Sect, please do not take offense! " Hsiao Yan's arrogant appearance was filled with anger, and it was not over yet. Hsiao Yan looked at all the disciples participating in the competition with a provocative look and mocked: "My fellow disciples, do not be polite! My grades aren't too good. Isn't there still a lamp that hasn't been lit? As long as any of you can light up ten lights, you can beat me! This is the home ground of the Duobao Sect, surely you guys won't be concealing your abilities and allowing this one to take the lead, right? Tsk tsk... It looks like you all didn't take it too seriously either! "Hahahaha!"

"Bastard..." All of the Duobao Sect disciples hated Hsiao Yan to the core, and all of them wanted to swallow him alive, but they couldn't do so because they couldn't use their fists. If looks could kill, Hsiao Yan would have been cut into a million pieces.

The scene was silent. Everyone stared at Hsiao Yan fiercely, but they couldn't do anything about it, especially Gu Faang and Yun Ling. The dignity of their Duobao Sect and alchemy were on the shoulders of the two of them, but they actually lost to Hsiao Yan.

Just when everyone was focused on Hsiao Yan, and Hsiao Yan was laughing arrogantly, the ten lights on top of the machine lit up at the same time, illuminating the surroundings!
