People in Doupo: Unparalleled Talents Actually Bring a System

However, those who were well-informed, including Dan Chen and Cao Ying, were all shocked.

Because they knew very well that this meant that Xiao Ling's control over his soul had reached the level of perfection, and not a single bit of soul power had leaked out.

It is not easy to achieve such precise control. It requires a very deep understanding and control of soul power.

And everyone present, even the eighth-grade alchemy masters like Cao Ying and Dan Chen, could not achieve such soul control.

The speed of the numbers on the crystal tablet was different from the previous tests. It was not like the previous rapid increase and then gradually slowed down, but was in a steady upward state. This was due to Xiao Ling's intentional control of the soul power input.

Under such circumstances, no one could judge what Xiao Ling's final result would be. Maybe it would stop beating in the next second, or maybe it would continue to rise like this.

A moment later, the number jumping on the crystal stele surpassed Cao Ying's previous 1995, and continued to rise, directly breaking through 2000 points.

Seeing this scene, everyone in the seats of the five families and the audience, looked at the young man in front of the stone tablet in the center of the square with shock, excitement, or respect.

“Everyone couldn’t help but sigh that the Ye family was really lucky to finally be able to invite this person to take action. It was really a way out from a desperate situation…”

"Alas, it's a pity that I didn't get in touch with this master earlier. Otherwise, it would definitely be of great benefit to the development of the family..."

"..."

About a minute later, Xiao Ling stopped injecting soul power and slowly withdrew his palm. On the nearly trembling stone tablet, the numbers on the mirror plate shining with blood finally stopped rising rapidly.

"3799!"

When everyone saw the number "3799" clearly presented in front of them, the whole audience fell silent for a moment, and then broke out into an earth-shaking uproar.

Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief. They were completely shocked by Xiao Ling's horrific result, and the shock in their hearts was beyond words.

Those who originally had some doubts about Xiao Ling were so shocked that their mouths opened wide, unable to close for a long time. They never expected that Xiao Ling could achieve such amazing results, far surpassing Cao Ying and Dan Chen.

The people sitting in the seats of the five families had different expressions. Some showed admiration, some were jealous, and some were lost in thought, thinking about how to deal with the relationship with the Ye family in the future.

The people in the audience were even more excited. They excitedly talked about Xiao Ling's strength, as if they had also witnessed the birth of a legend.

Ye Zhong and Ye Xinlan were extremely excited, their eyes flickering with excitement. When everything was settled, the weight hanging in their hearts finally fell to the ground.

Cao Dan, Cao Xiu, Dan Xuan and other so-called "geniuses" from the other four major families stared at the shining figure in the field. Although they were full of reluctance and envy in their hearts, they had to lower their heads.

At the Dan family seat, Dan Chen also raised her eyes cautiously and looked at Xiao Ling, with a somewhat inexplicable look in her eyes, as if she was exploring some unknown secret. Then, she quickly retracted her gaze, and a hint of curiosity flashed in her beautiful eyes.

Among the younger generation, Cao Ying is the only one who has surpassed her peers over the years. Moreover, Cao Ying also has some advantages in age.

Dan Chen was very clear about his physique and his terrifying soul talent. When he was the same age, Cao Ying's achievements in the soul were far inferior to his.

She is also very confident in herself. As long as there is enough time, she is absolutely confident that she can surpass Cao Ying.

However, when she looked at Xiao Ling's back, Dan Chen was no longer so sure. She felt that Xiao Ling's figure seemed unattainable. Such a strong strength made her feel that there was an insurmountable gap between her and Xiao Ling. In her eyes, the back became a little out of reach, but it also planted a seed of "curiosity" in her heart.

At the Cao family seat, Cao Ying frowned and stared blankly at the blood-red number, her heart full of confusion and shock, as if she couldn't believe why Xiao Ling could have such a high soul value.

The quick-witted Cao Ying soon discovered the abnormality in Xiao Ling's number, which was exactly the sum of her own number and Dan Chen's number.

This discovery made Cao Ying even more surprised and thoughtful. She began to wonder whether Xiao Ling did it on purpose or it was just a coincidence.

"As expected of a man I like, he is so outstanding. But, what is your limit?"

Cao Ying pondered secretly in her heart, her eyes fixed on Xiao Ling who was slowly walking back, her eyes filled with admiration, curiosity and anticipation...

Chapter 427 Soul Control

Xiao Ling withdrew his hand, put it behind his back, and then nodded to Elder Sheng with a faint smile on his face. His expression was very casual, as if the scene that shocked everyone just now was just a trivial matter for Qi.

Elder Sheng looked at Xiao Ling's figure with a fiery gaze, and secretly sighed in his heart that this was definitely a top genius who was even more monstrous than Cao Ying and Dan Chen. If he could join Dan Tower, he would definitely be one of the candidates for the giant position.

"Haha, everything is clear. The first place in this soul test is the Ye family representative Xiao Ling. He broke the old record and set a new record. I believe that no one will be able to break this record in the future..."

Finally, Elder Sheng sighed. In his opinion, even the most talented descendants of the Cao and Dan families in the past hundred years could not surpass Xiao Ling, so who would be able to surpass him in the future?

Moreover, Xiao Ling's move this time not only surpassed the previous record, but the extent of the surpass was not a little bit, it was almost reaching 4000 points.

For the ordinary young generation, those with extraordinary talents, it was already very good to reach 700 or 800. The gap was so huge that those who came later had no hope at all.

Everyone around, whether it was the elders sitting in the seats of the five families or the ordinary spectators in the audience seats, no matter what thoughts and feelings they had in their hearts, all nodded in response.

There was a look of recognition on their faces, and their eyes revealed deep admiration for Xiao Ling's strength. It was obvious that they agreed with what Elder Sheng said.

Elder Sheng saw this and smiled with satisfaction. He looked around and saw everyone nodding. He knew that everyone had accepted the result. Elder Sheng was also happy for the Ye family. After all, the Ye family's elder seat was finally saved.

In this assessment, the Ye family stabilized the situation because of Xiao Ling's outstanding performance. Elder Sheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the Ye family is really lucky to be able to catch up with this monster, and it is not impossible to return to the peak in the future...

Although the difference in strength among the participants can be roughly determined from the first stage, since the rules have been set, the next assessment must continue.

After the situation calmed down, Elder Sheng did not delay too much and quickly moved on to the next assessment stage.

"The next test is called soul control..." Elder Sheng looked at Xiao Ling and the other five people with a smile, then slowly took out a pitch-black iron bead from the ring.

The surface of this iron bead is extremely smooth and appears to be completely dull. Its pitch-black appearance gives people an extremely heavy feeling.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Elder Sheng introduced slowly, "This is a bead made of soul steel, called a soul-detecting bead. This kind of thing, if you hold it in your hand, will seem very light, but to the soul, it is like a thousand-pound object..."

"The test rules for soul control are very simple. Once the test officially begins, a large number of soul-testing beads will fall from the ceiling."

"What you have to do is not to use Dou Qi at all, but to rely solely on your own soul power to catch those soul-testing beads."

"In the end, whoever successfully catches the most soul-testing beads will be the first in this assessment, and the rankings of everyone will be determined in the same way."

At this point, Elder Sheng paused for a moment, then glanced in Cao Ying's direction, and said with an interested smile, "This record for the soul control test was set by Cao Ying. She once took on 89 soul-testing beads at once."

"But I'm sure that today's record will be broken just like the previous ones. But who will break this record? And what new height can be reached? This all depends on how you guys perform next."

After saying that, Elder Sheng looked meaningfully in the direction of Xiao Ling. Obviously, he felt in his heart that this record would most likely be broken by Xiao Ling again.

The onlookers all turned their eyes to Xiao Ling, their eyes full of expectation. They seemed to be expecting this peerless genius who had just created an amazing result to bring another amazing performance in the next assessment.

Seeing that Xiao Ling had taken all the limelight, Cao Ying curled her lips in dissatisfaction. She smiled softly with her hands covering her mouth, her eyes slanted, and she spoke slowly with a charming look,

"Since Xiao Ling is an eighth-grade alchemy master, his soul power is also very powerful. I just don't know to what extent you have mastered the power of the soul!"

Xiao Ling casually glanced at this fairy-like woman, put his hands behind his back, and chuckled. Although his tone seemed very casual, he was not polite at all: "Miss Cao Ying, don't worry. I have more soul-testing beads than you."

After hearing this, Cao Ying felt a little annoyed, but her expression did not change at all. She laughed and said, "Haha~, let's have a good comparison then."

Elder Sheng looked at the young people getting along well with each other and stroked his beard and chuckled. As he got older, he liked to see talented people emerging from the younger generation.

"I'll give you a small reminder. Don't ever try to catch too many soul-testing beads at once and disperse your soul power. In this kind of assessment, this is the most foolish behavior!" Elder Sheng said this casually with a slight smile.

After hearing this, everyone's faces gradually became serious. It was obvious that everyone was ready.

Elder Sheng nodded slightly when he saw this, and then said, "It looks like everything is ready, so..." Before he finished speaking, he had already flashed away from the square, and the rest of his words came slowly, "...The test begins!"

Just as Elder Sheng finished his words, at this moment, a "cracking" sound was heard from the ceiling above the hall, revealing densely packed black holes.

In a flash, the overwhelming black shadow poured down from the ceiling like a rainstorm.

At the same moment when the black shadows poured down like a curtain of rain, Xiao Ling and the others quickly moved away almost as if by reflex, keeping a certain distance from each other.

Immediately afterwards, several powerful soul powers surged out and attacked the falling soul-detecting bead.

Including Cao Ying and Dan Chen, the other four people were extremely focused at the moment. Facing such a test method, none of them dared to be arrogant.

Xiao Ling was completely different from the other four. He seemed very casual. As a person who had reached the Great Perfection of the Spiritual Realm, he had a great advantage in this aspect, which was incomparable to the other four.

Moreover, Xiao Ling also practiced the art of distraction from the "Dayan Jue", and had an advantage over ordinary people in multitasking.

With such conditions, Xiao Ling can be said to have a natural advantage in this round of testing.

If Xiao Ling really had an idea, as long as he put all his strength into it, he could bring all the soul-detecting beads under his control at any time.

However, in order to save some face for others and to hide his own strength, Xiao Ling did not intend to do so.

Therefore, he chose a more low-key approach, exerting his soul power moderately in the test, so as not to stand out too much while ensuring that he performed well in the assessment.

As Xiao Ling's mind moved, the vast soul power surged out from his brows and instantly turned into two pairs of illusory soul hands. At this time, Xiao Ling's eyes were like lightning, staring closely at the rapidly falling black shadows.

Aiming at a rapidly falling black shadow, one of the soul hands flashed out like lightning, and with a nimble twist of two fingers, it immediately clamped a pitch-black soul-detecting bead.

"This effect is quite interesting. It's just as Elder Sheng said before. It actually makes the soul power slightly stagnant. But it's okay. It doesn't affect me much..." With a soul-testing bead in his hand as a reference, Xiao Ling was confident in grabbing the soul-testing bead.

His eyes narrowed slightly, aiming at the black shadow falling from the sky, and four huge soul hands moved at the same time, flashing out frequently.

Although in the eyes of the other spectators, Xiao Ling's actions were the most efficient among the crowd. However, this was also a result that Xiao Ling had worked hard to achieve. At this time, he had other thoughts to watch the reactions of other contestants.

While Xiao Ling controlled the soul hand to quickly grab the soul-detecting bead, he also kept an eye on the reactions of other people around him.

Bai Ying and Qiu Ji were the most embarrassed. They almost ran away in the shadows, and then took the soul-testing beads one by one. Their flustered appearance made people laugh. From the anxious looks on their faces, it can be seen that this test method is very difficult.

Compared with Bai Ying and Qiu Ji, Cao Ying and Dan Chen, two people whose soul power has broken through the spiritual realm, seemed much more calm when dealing with these soul-testing beads.

Cao Ying's posture was graceful, her head tilted slightly upward, her eyes fixed intently on the falling shadow. She gently raised her jade hand, and soul power surged out like a thread, accurately catching each soul-testing bead. Her movements were gentle and fluid, as if she were performing a graceful dance.

Dan Chen had a calm expression, his body moved lightly, his hands were like nimble butterflies, skillfully putting the soul-testing bead into his pocket.

The performance of the two of them attracted the attention of many people present, especially Cao Ying, who made the surrounding onlookers look in her direction.

Her graceful figure and focused expression seemed to have a unique charm that was captivating. Many men present were attracted by her demeanor and followed her every move closely.

Dan Chen was also very beautiful, and her soft and weak appearance added a bit of men's inner desire to protect her. However, she was still young at this time and needed time to grow up, so she could not compare with Cao Ying, who was in her prime of charm.

As time went by, more and more soul-testing beads were taken, which was a huge test for everyone's soul power. Bai Ying and Qiu Ji were soon overwhelmed and retreated tiredly.

The number of soul-testing beads suspended in front of the two were 43 and 41 respectively. Bai Ying's score was second to last, and Qiu Ji's was last.

Both of them had expressions of fatigue and helplessness on their faces, and it was obvious that they had tried their best in this test.

At this time, only Xiao Ling, Cao Ying, and Dan Chen were still taking the test. However, after the previous exhaustion, Cao Ying and Dan Chen also felt a little tired.

However, Xiao Ling remained as calm as ever, as if the previous consumption that seemed serious to others was not worth mentioning at all to him.

A faint, confident smile still hung on his face, his eyes kept moving, always observing the soul-detecting beads that kept falling. His hands flexibly controlled the soul power and continued to grab the soul-detecting beads easily.

In comparison, Cao Ying and Dan Chen's movements were a little slow, and beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads, but they still persisted.

At this time, Cao Ying and Dan Chen had already opened up a considerable gap with Xiao Ling. They knew that they could not catch up with Xiao Ling, but they also wanted to save face for themselves, strive to surpass each other, and maintain the family's face in front of outsiders.

Cao Ying gritted her teeth and focused more on controlling her soul power, trying to speed up the absorption of the soul-detecting beads. Dan Chen was not to be outdone, she frowned slightly and concentrated on dealing with the soul-detecting beads that kept falling.

After holding on for a few more minutes, the young Danchen was the first to give up. She bit her lip, showing an unwilling look on her face, and slowly retreated.

As she withdrew, the soul-detecting beads lost the control of soul power and fell to the ground one by one with a thud.

After a careful count, there are 166 soul-testing beads. This result has broken the record previously set by Cao Ying, which is indeed quite good.

It’s a pity that the opponent this time was too strong, so Danchen didn’t get a very good ranking in the end and could only settle for third place.

Soon after, Cao Ying also reached her limit. She looked at Xiao Ling helplessly and shook her head.
