People in Doupo: Unparalleled Talents Actually Bring a System

Immediately afterwards, Princess Yaoyue was not to be outdone. After seeing Liu Ling's actions, she also jumped down from the VIP seat, her figure as light as a falling leaf, and landed gracefully in the center of the square.

The atmosphere at the scene became boiling. Xiao Ling might be indifferent to this cute little princess, but in the eyes of other young people, she was undoubtedly an unattainable goddess.

Amidst everyone's expectant gazes, Xiao Yan finally appeared in the contestants' waiting area.

As the third young master of the Xiao family, he is not only one of the favorites to win the imperial capital's competition, but also has his own aura, attracting the attention of countless audiences.

Although he keeps a low profile, his calm temperament and the subtle aura of strength make it impossible to ignore his presence.

At this moment, Xiao Yan slowly stood up. His movements were simple and calm, as if silently announcing his upcoming grand appearance.

Purple light quietly gathered behind him, gradually forming a pair of dazzling purple wings. These wings not only demonstrated his extraordinary strength, but also added a bit of mystery and nobility.

With his wings flapping gently, Xiao Yan's body slowly rose into the air. He was like a god descending from the sky, overlooking the crowd below.

As he gradually approached the sky above the competition square, the purple wings began to slowly retract, and finally, at the moment of landing, they were completely retracted into his body.

Just as everyone was holding their breath, Xiao Yan made an amazing move in the air.

He stepped lightly in the air, as if he was stepping on an invisible staircase. His body paused slightly in mid-air, then slowly descended.

His figure was as light as a fallen leaf, without a trace of smoke, and he finally landed steadily in the center of the square in an almost silent manner.

At this moment, the entire square was immersed in an indescribable shock.

Xiao Yan's landing did not stir up a speck of dust. He stood there with an upright posture, his clothes swaying gently in the wind.

The moment Xiao Yan landed steadily on the ground, the audience in the entire square was amazed.

However, the purple fighting spirit wings that Xiao Yan had just used also caused doubts to arise in people's hearts.

“Fighting Qi wings, isn’t that something only a Fighting King-level warrior can possess?” an audience member whispered, his eyes full of confusion and shock.

"Yeah, but how old is Xiao Yan? I heard that he is only a great fighting master, how could he have fighting spirit wings?" Another audience member nearby also joined the discussion, with disbelief in his tone.

Discussions arose among the crowd, but no one could give a definite answer.

Although the audience below the stage could not discern the origin of the Dou Qi wings displayed by Xiao Yan, the family leaders in the VIP seats, who had seen a lot of ups and downs, naturally knew it well.

Jia Xingtian's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and he said to Xiao Ling with a smile: "Haha, Xiao Ling, if my eyesight is not wrong, what Xiao Yan used should be a very rare flying fighting skill, right?"

As Jia Xingtian asked the question, several other family leaders also turned their curious eyes to Xiao Ling.

Xiao Ling smiled slightly and replied calmly: "Master Jia is indeed very discerning. What Xiao Yan displayed was indeed a flying fighting skill. This is what I acquired when I was training outside before. However, at that time, my cultivation had already reached the Dou Wang level. This fighting skill was no longer necessary for me, so I passed it on to Xiao Yan."

The flying fighting skill that Xiao Yan displayed was exactly the Profound Grade flying fighting skill, Purple Cloud Wing, that Xiao Ling accidentally acquired in the Monster Mountain Range.

This flying fighting skill was originally prepared by Xiao Ling for Qinglin, but with Qinglin's rapid improvement in cultivation, she can no longer rely on external objects to fly in the air.

Moreover, before breaking through the Dou Wang realm, if she needed to fly, she could also use the help of those winged snake-like monsters. Therefore, this volume of flying fighting skills seemed redundant.

During the last trip when Xiao Yan was leading him back to Canaan College, Xiao Ling personally handed the flying fighting skills to Xiao Yan.

With the help of this volume of flying fighting skills, Xiao Yan was able to perform flying even before he reached the Dou Wang realm, which undoubtedly brought him a significant advantage at certain critical moments.

For example, in that fire hunting competition, if Xiao Yan did not have Zi Yunyi's assistance, it would not be so easy for him to gain an advantage over many experienced veterans.

With the grand appearance of several focus figures such as Xiao Yan, the atmosphere in the competition square has reached a new climax.

Afterwards, other alchemists also began to follow the surging crowd and entered the competition square in an orderly manner.

Some of these alchemists come from prominent families, while others are freelancers. Some are young and promising, while others are experienced. Each of them has a passion for the art of alchemy and a desire for victory.

At the same time, in a corner of the square, in the shadows, three figures were tightly wrapped in black robes, revealing only a few obscure glances.

When they saw Xiao Ling chatting and laughing with everyone in the VIP seats and obviously had no intention of participating in this Alchemist Conference, their tense bodies gradually relaxed, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

Chapter 204 Uninvited Guest

The three of them looked at each other, and an inexplicable light flashed in their eyes.

They sneaked into the Gama Empire this time not just to watch the war, but to carry the trust and expectations of their respective countries.

Because Xiao Ling, a genius in alchemy, joined the Alchemist Guild, the Gama Empire Alchemist Guild became famous. Many young alchemists in the surrounding countries chose to join the Gama Empire. The three of them came this time under the orders of their superiors to suppress the prestige of the Gama Empire Alchemist Guild.

The leader was named Yan Li, from the Izumo Empire. He was the vice president of the Alchemist Guild and a veteran fourth-grade alchemist.

His eyes swept over the two companions beside him: the representative of the Alchemist Guild of the Luoyan Empire, a thin, sharp-eyed old man named Feng Xing; and the representative of the Mulan Empire, a burly, rough-faced middle-aged man named Tieshan.

Yan Li's eyes swept across Feng Xing and Tie Shan's faces, and a sly smile appeared on the corners of his mouth. His voice was low and a little cold: "Remember, we are not here to make friends, we are here to overthrow the Gama Empire Alchemist Guild. Before you go on stage later, remember to take the 'Rejuvenation Pill', and don't let those self-righteous Gama Empire alchemists see our true identity."

Feng Xing and Tie Shan looked at each other, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on their faces. They had already discussed it in advance and understood Yan Li's plan.

Feng Xing nodded slightly and replied, "Don't worry, Vice President Yan Li, we understand the importance of this trip. We have prepared the 'Rejuvenation Pill' and will not fail at the critical moment."

Tieshan also echoed in a deep voice, with a hint of cruelty in his eyes: "The alchemists of the Jia Ma Empire are too confident. They would never have thought that the alchemist guilds of our three empires have joined forces. This time, we must severely damage the reputation of the Jia Ma Empire Alchemist Guild."

After Yanli, Fengxing and Tieshan finished their communication, they couldn't help but imagine the scene of the moment of success in their hearts.

They imagined that the reputation of the Gama Empire Alchemist Guild would plummet, while their names and the guild they belonged to would become more famous and their status would rise in the future.

Thinking of this, the three of them couldn't help but laugh, and that smile was full of pride and cunning.

However, their laughter did not escape the ears of the participating alchemists around them.

Most of these alchemists were from the Jia Ma Empire or other prestigious alchemists. When they saw these three discreetly dressed and even somewhat inconspicuous people grinning here, they couldn't help but feel a little contempt in their hearts.

An alchemist who looked quite prestigious said to his companions in a disdainful tone, "Look at those three people. They really bring shame to us alchemists. It is shameful for alchemists like me to associate with such people."

His words resonated with some alchemists around him. They all cast contemptuous glances at him, and some even whispered and pointed fingers at Yan Li and the other two.

Feeling the gazes and discussions around them, the three did not say much, but silently adjusted their attire to ensure that the effect of the "Rejuvenation Pill" would not be discovered, then blended into the crowd, entered the competition square, and quietly waited for the competition to begin.

……

After the first round of competition began, the atmosphere in the VIP seats was particularly lively.

"Haha, Master Xiao Ling, with your unique vision, I wonder who among these participating alchemists do you think has the ability to compete for the final championship?" Jia Xingtian's voice sounded softly in Xiao Ling's ears with a hint of curiosity.

Xiao Ling turned his head slightly and his eyes fell on Jia Xingtian's face which was filled with a faint smile. Although the old man tried his best to conceal it, the uncontrollable pride in his eyes still revealed his inner satisfaction.

After all, the little princess Yaoyue of the royal family has long been known to everyone in the Jiama Empire for her reputation as a genius in alchemy. Although she cannot be compared with a legendary figure like Xiao Ling, Yaoyue's talent in alchemy is second to none in the empire.

Xiao Yan also possessed an extraordinary talent for alchemy, and his progress was astonishing, becoming a first-grade alchemist at the age of fifteen.

However, ever since he followed Xiao Ling to Canaan College for further studies, the outside world's understanding of his alchemy ability has become vague.

Time flies, and three years have passed in a flash. Xiao Yan's achievements in alchemy skills are beyond the reach of outsiders.

It is generally speculated that Xiao Yan's current level is about that of a third-grade alchemist, comparable to the little princess Yaoyue of the royal family, and has the potential to compete for the championship of this alchemist conference. However, the truth can only be revealed during the competition.

Xiao Ling responded in a relaxed tone: "Princess Yaoyue's talent is indeed extraordinary. She has become a third-grade alchemist at such a young age. It is admirable. But as a member of the Xiao family, I naturally prefer my cousin Xiao Yan. His strength will surely open the eyes of everyone present."

After hearing what Xiao Ling said, several other alchemists and high-ranking officials in the VIP seats also cast curious glances at him.

Fa Ma, who was originally calm and composed, could not help but ask, "Master Xiao Ling, I wonder what level your cousin's alchemy skills have reached now? Can you tell us a little bit?"

Xiao Ling smiled slightly. Facing Fa Ma's question, he simply responded calmly: "I will not reveal Xiao Yan's level of alchemy skills in advance. When the competition begins, it will naturally be revealed to everyone."

After hearing this, Fa Ma, although he did not get a clear answer, wisely did not continue to ask, and instead smiled and said: "If Xiao Yan is willing, he is welcome to come to our Alchemist Union to exchange ideas. The door of our union is always open to capable alchemists."

Xiao Ling nodded gently and replied politely: "As for the invitation from the Alchemist Union, I think Xiao Yan will make a choice based on his own wishes. I personally cannot make a decision on his behalf. Let him discuss these matters himself."

At the other end of the VIP seats, Nalan Jie listened to the conversations around him in silence. After Xiao Ling's words fell, Nalan Jie's heart was stirred. He began to ponder, what level has Xiao Yan's alchemy skills reached now?

In the short three years since Xiao Yan recovered and was able to practice, he has already shown amazing talent for practice. Now, his practice has even surpassed Nalan Jie's granddaughter Nalan Yanran, which makes Nalan Jie feel regretful and worried.

If Xiao Yan was also gifted in alchemy, wouldn't Nalan Jie have missed out on a son-in-law with unlimited potential, and might even inadvertently become enemies with a future powerful figure?

Thinking of this, Nalan Jie's face couldn't help but darken, and his face seemed to be covered with a layer of haze. The traces of time seemed even deeper at this moment, as if adding a bit of vicissitudes to his worries.

"Alas, Yanran, you are so confused..."

Chapter 205 The game begins

Turning our gaze towards the square, as the giant hourglass began to count down, more than two thousand alchemists, no matter what dreams they had in their hearts, summoned their own flames and began to refine pills.

In an instant, more than 2,000 flames lit up at the same time like stars, and the brilliant light pushed the atmosphere of the entire square to a boiling point. The temperature in the air soared, as if even breathing could feel the heat.

Fortunately, there is an invisible barrier guarding the surroundings, locking the heat wave firmly within the competition area, ensuring the safety and comfort of the audience.

Most of the flames summoned by these alchemists are bright yellow, with only slight differences in the depth of the color. They are all catalyzed by pure fighting spirit.

Even Liu Ling, Gu He's direct disciple, is no exception.

However, in this sea of ​​flames, there are always a few that stand out.

For example, Xiao Yan summoned a ball of colorful flames.

This action surprised everyone in the VIP seats. Xiao Yan was indeed not simple. Even the fire he used was so special.

Xiao Ling had heard of this flame before. He heard that Elder Huo had put a lot of thought into getting this beast fire for Xiao Yan.

This is the unique beast fire of the sixth-level magic beast "Phantom Fox". Its temperature varies greatly. When refining pills, it can be adjusted according to the wishes and skills of the alchemist, perfectly adapting to the refining needs of various medicinal materials. Although this kind of flame is not suitable for fighting, it is very suitable for refining medicine.

The flame summoned by the royal princess Yaoyue was as blue as water waves. Obviously, this was the Qianlan Water Flame possessed by the royal sea beast.

In the first round of assessment, the challenge faced by the contestants was to refine a second-grade bone-growing pill carefully developed by the Alchemist Guild. However, the difficulty of the assessment was that, in addition to the necessary materials, they only received a very simple pill recipe.

In this recipe, many key details and steps were deliberately omitted, requiring alchemists to fill in and explore them based on their own experience and intuition.

This is not only a test of skills, but also a challenge to wisdom and creativity.

For a low-level novice alchemist, this is undoubtedly a severe test.

They must not only complete the refining of the elixir within a limited time, but also find the right path among many unknowns.

The results also proved this point. As time passed, explosions began to be heard in the square. The first round tested the basic skills of the alchemists, and obviously, not everyone could withstand such a test.

After using up two supplies of medicinal materials, many alchemists turned pale, and with reluctance and disappointment, they left the square sadly amid the regretful looks and discussions around them.

When most of the sand in the hourglass had fallen, a round pill flew out of the medicine cauldron in front of Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan jumped up and with one swift move, he firmly grasped the pill in his hand.

When the first round pill flew out of Xiao Yan's medicine cauldron, at that moment, the entire square seemed to have pressed the pause button.

Then, a low exclamation spread among the audience, like gentle ripples, gradually spreading to every corner.

The people in the VIP seats and the surrounding alchemists couldn't help but focus their attention on this young boy.

There was both admiration and curiosity in their eyes. After all, being the fastest among many alchemists to complete the refining of pills was an extraordinary talent in itself.

This scene undoubtedly gave people a new evaluation of Xiao Yan's alchemy skills, and made people realize that their previous assessment of his strength was obviously too conservative.
