People in Doupo: Unparalleled Talents Actually Bring a System

As he spoke, he calmly took out an exquisite token from his wide cuffs, lightly stroked it with his fingers, and then began to slowly inject a stream of fighting spirit into it.

As the fighting spirit continued to flow in, a dazzling light suddenly burst out from the token, shooting straight into the sky and accurately illuminating the void not far ahead.

The beam of light gradually spread, forming a space channel with a silver luster, like a mysterious portal leading to another world.

"Some emergencies did occur. We discovered some people with ulterior motives sneaking into the alchemy conference. Fortunately, the consequences were not too serious. Only a few examinees died in the chaos."

Cao Ying nodded slightly and narrated the story in a calm tone. However, she only mentioned the matter in passing and did not go into detail about the more sensitive key details.

"Are there many casualties among the examinees? Alas, the death of these alchemists is also a big loss for Danta..." Elder Xu sighed softly and did not continue asking.

In every assessment of the alchemy world, there would always be assessees who lost their lives in the fierce competition, either killed by high-level monsters, or ambushed by fellow assessees.

Such tragedies are really countless, but the rules of the Dan world assessment remain unchanged, so such situations are difficult to avoid.

"Everyone, please follow me. This space passage leads directly to the interior of Dan Tower. If we show up directly in the square of the third round of assessment, I am afraid that those who come to watch the ceremony will mistakenly think that Dan Tower has violated the established rules on its own."

Elder Xu smiled lightly, his voice calm and easy-going. As he finished speaking, he motioned Xiao Ling and the others to follow him, and together they walked towards the space passage that was flashing silver light. He was the first to step into it.

Xiao Ling and others witnessed Elder Xu's actions, exchanged glances with each other, and nodded in tacit understanding.

Afterwards, they hurriedly picked up their pace, followed Elder Xu, and stepped into the space passage with a silver halo.

As Xiao Ling and others completely sank into the space channel, the space door gently rotated a few weeks in the void, and then closed silently, as if it had never been opened here.

……

In a magnificent palace of Danta, the void suddenly began to fluctuate slightly, like ripples on the water caused by a light breeze.

Immediately afterwards, Elder Xu's slightly bent old figure was the first to step out of the space gate.

Afterwards, Xiao Ling and his group walked out of the flickering light curtain one by one. Their figures gradually became clearly visible in the hall, and finally landed steadily on the floor.

"My dear friends, please wait here for a while. I will go and inform President Xuankong about the important matters of this trip." Elder Xu looked around and confirmed that everyone had gathered. He smiled warmly and nodded slightly.

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure swayed lightly and he floated away like a leaf in the wind. In a flash, his figure disappeared from the spot, leaving only a faint trace that slowly dissipated in the air.

With the departure of Elder Xu, everyone became more relaxed.

Back in the embrace of Danta, the remaining worries in Cao Ying and Dan Chen's hearts from the previous journey to the Dan Realm gradually dissipated, and were replaced by a warm sense of belonging, as if they had returned to their long-lost homeland. The familiarity and tranquility slowly spread in their hearts.

"Haha, I finally got rid of that damn place called Danjie. The air here is refreshing. It's nothing like the violent and rampant energy in Danjie, which always makes people feel inexplicably upset."

Xiong Zhan looked around, his heart filled with joy, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, and that uncontrollable smile seemed to overflow from every pore of his body.

Among this group of people, the most excited one was Xiong Zhan. He had spent countless years in the depths of the Dan Realm, and even he himself could hardly remember those passing years.

As the overlord of the Wanyao Mountains, his life in the Dan World is undoubtedly comfortable and free, and rare medicinal materials are nothing more than daily snacks to him.

However, as time went by, that kind of life gradually became monotonous and boring, and his heart was already filled with boredom.

Now, he has finally stepped out of the constraints of the Dan Realm and thrown himself into this vast and boundless world. This feeling is as if he has experienced a baptism, as if he was reborn.

"Haha, Brother Xiong Zhan, congratulations. In this vast Douqi Continent, with your current level of cultivation, as long as you don't take the initiative to cause trouble, there is nowhere in this world that you can't go." Xiao Ling said with a smile and a light tone.

"Haha, all of this is thanks to the great help of brother Xiao Ling and Miss Zi Yan. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have such a chance to escape from the Dan world." Xiong Zhan laughed loudly, rubbing his hands, looking at Xiao Ling and Zi Yan with gratitude, and said.

Xiong Zhan paused, then changed the subject and asked, "Brother Xiao Ling, do you have any good places to recommend? I am alone now, and my understanding of this Douqi Continent is quite limited. If I can join a force, it would be a good choice."

During the conversation, Xiong Zhan's eyes occasionally glanced at Xiao Ling and Zi Yan, and his subtle eyes revealed his desire to follow them closely. Xiao Ling naturally belonged to his own faction, and Zi Yan was born in the powerful Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.

However, Xiong Zhan currently does not understand Zi Yan's status in the clan, and wonders whether he can use her power to allow an ancient dragon bear like him to join the Taixu ancient dragon clan.

Even if he could join, he would probably not be taken seriously in the clan because of his bloodline. Therefore, he was not particularly interested in joining the ranks of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.

On the contrary, Xiong Zhan seemed quite enthusiastic about joining Xiao Ling, a pharmacist with unlimited potential. He had an inexplicable premonition that if he could follow Xiao Ling, his future might not be limited to the eighth level.

Xiao Ling naturally saw through Xiong Zhan's little trick. He did not beat around the bush and responded directly.

"Brother Xiong Zhan, with your current strength, no matter which faction you join, you will definitely be treated as a distinguished guest. If you are interested, my Xingyun Pavilion welcomes you to join and serve as an elder."

"You only need to protect the safety of Xingyun Pavilion at the critical moment. You don't need to worry about other matters. We will also generously provide the best cultivation resources as an offering to you. How about that?"

Xiao Ling thought in his heart that it would be far less appropriate to take Xiong Zhan back to Xingyun Pavilion than to let him accompany Zi Yan back to the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.

Within the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, it is not surprising that Xiong Zhan’s strength is only at the eighth level.

Moreover, in the world of Warcraft, the purity of bloodline is extremely important, and this is even more evident in the case of a noble Warcraft bloodline like the Taixu Ancient Dragon.

If Xiong Zhan really went to Dragon Island, a random seventh-level Taixu Ancient Dragon could carelessly release a trace of blood aura, which would be enough to make an eighth-level warrior like Xiong Zhan tremble in fear. This situation was really too frustrating.

Rather than staying uncomfortably on Ancient Dragon Island as Xiao Ling had imagined, it would be better to let Xiong Zhan come to Xingyun Pavilion and be an idler. This way he would be more carefree, happy and comfortable.

"Haha, since Brother Xiao Ling has personally invited me, why should I hesitate? From this moment on, I, Xiong Zhan, will be a member of Xingyun Pavilion!" Xiong Zhan laughed out loud, his face filled with a frank and sincere smile.

"Then I'll give you more guidance in the future, Elder Xiong Zhan." Xiao Ling smiled slightly and said in a casual tone.

After a while, with a slight "creaking" sound, the tightly closed door slowly opened, and an old man with white hair and dressed in gorgeous robes slowly stepped into the hall.

His steps were steady, and his eyes revealed the accumulation of years, yet he was still smart.

The old man who stepped into the hall was no one else but Xuan Kongzi, one of the three giants of Danta who hurried here after hearing the news.

The moment Xuan Kongzi stepped into the hall, he instantly became the focus. Everyone's attention was focused on him, and all eyes were directed towards this giant of Danta.

Xuan Kongzi was about to speak, but before he could say anything, Cao Ying hurriedly trotted over to him.

"Master, Ying'er almost didn't get to see you today. I was really scared." Cao Ying rubbed her eyes gently, a lingering fear in her eyes, and said with a slightly trembling voice.

I don't know if this look is fake or a genuine expression of my true feelings.

Cao Ying's action made Xuan Kongzi immediately forget what he was about to say.

He frowned slightly, his concern was evident, and he immediately asked, "Ying'er, what happened? Tell me slowly and in detail."

Cao Ying gently wiped away a few crystal tears that had slipped down the corners of her eyes, sobbed slightly, and after calming down, she slowly opened her mouth and recounted her experiences in the alchemy world.

She described in detail how she gathered people to go to the Wanyao Mountains in the Dan Realm, how she encountered a sudden attack from four elders from the Soul Palace on the way, and how at that critical moment, Xiao Ling appeared like a god sent from heaven and turned the tide.

In her words, every detail was described vividly, as if the thrilling scenes were replayed before everyone.

As soon as Cao Ying finished speaking, Xuan Kongzi's expression suddenly turned gloomy, like a sky covered with dark clouds. He clenched his fists unconsciously, and his knuckles turned white due to the force.

Suppressing the boiling anger in his heart, his voice trembled slightly, "What a shameless Soul Palace! They actually dared to openly attack the alchemists of our Dan Tower, causing a large number of Dan Realm examiners to die. They are so arrogant."

"Since it was the Soul Palace that trampled on the rules first, don't blame me for being ruthless and showing no mercy." Xuan Kongzi's voice was as cold as iron, and a gleam of determination flashed in his eyes. "Ying'er, I will go to the Dan Realm immediately and execute those thieves from the Soul Palace on the spot to wash away this shame for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the murderous aura seemed to have filled the entire space, as if as soon as the words fell, Xuan Kongzi would rush straight into the Dan Realm and start a killing spree.

"President Xuankong, you don't have to go to the Dan Realm in person." Xiao Ling approached slowly and stopped beside Xuankongzi. His voice was calm and easygoing, as if everything was under control.

"In order to prevent their whereabouts from being exposed and causing retaliation from the Dan Tower, those people from the Soul Palace have already evacuated the Dan Realm through special means. In my opinion, there is probably no trace of people from the Soul Palace in the Dan Realm now. Even if there are still some left, they are just the guardians of the Soul Palace. Elders of the level will definitely not stay in the Dan Realm at this time."

Hearing the voice, Xuan Kongzi slowly turned his head and looked towards the source of the voice. When he saw that it was Xiao Ling who was speaking, the anger on his face immediately melted away like ice and snow, turning into a warm smile. He said gently,

"Haha, Xiao Ling, thanks to your previous heroic act, otherwise Danta would have suffered immeasurable losses this time, and Ying'er might have been in danger and in a worrying situation."

"President Xuankong, you are too polite. Miss Cao Ying and I are like siblings. Seeing her in danger, I would naturally step forward without hesitation." Xiao Ling waved his hand lightly, his tone indifferent, but revealing an unquestionable firmness.

"Haha, that's great. Young people should communicate more and learn from each other." After hearing Xiao Ling's words, Xuan Kongzi's smile became even brighter. His eyes lingered between Xiao Ling and Cao Ying. It was as if he was examining an ideal son-in-law, full of approval and appreciation.

Cao Ying was stunned when she saw that her master Xuan Kongzi, who was usually calm and indifferent, showed such an expression because of such a small matter, and a faint blush appeared on her cheeks.

However, when she turned to look at Xiao Ling, the light in her eyes was full of undisguised admiration.

After casually mentioning this topic, Xuan Kongzi refocused his attention on the important matter at hand.

He frowned slightly and asked with a hint of confusion: "Little friend Xiao Ling, is what you said before true? If the person from the Soul Palace really left the Dan Realm through some kind of space secret technique, then the fluctuations caused should at least be caused by a Dou Zun peak powerhouse. Such a big commotion, under my intentional monitoring, it should be impossible for it to be silent."

I witnessed this with my own eyes, and there is absolutely no mistake. The four Soul Palace elders have indeed evacuated from the Dan Realm. "Xiao Ling nodded slightly, his tone firm and his expression calm, as if he was narrating a very ordinary fact.

His face was calm, his heartbeat was steady, and even though he was talking nonsense, he seemed very calm. "As for what methods they used, I don't know. Because the situation was urgent at the time, I didn't have time to delve into the details."

Since those elders of the Soul Palace had already died at the hands of Xiao Ling, then the course of events was naturally made up by Xiao Ling. Whatever he said was the situation. Now that the people were dead, what else could Danta expect to find out?

"Since you, Xiao Ling, witnessed it with your own eyes, and after the matter was exposed, those people from the Soul Palace really had no reason to stay in the Dan Realm. Perhaps they used some secret means, which prevented me from detecting their whereabouts." Xuan Kongzi frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then spoke slowly.

However, Xuan Kongzi still had some concerns in his heart, and he decided to assign several elders from Danta to go to Danjie for in-depth investigation soon. If everything is fine, it will naturally be the best result; if there is any unexpected situation, measures can be taken in time to prevent it from happening.

"Perhaps it's true as President Xuankong said. The Soul Palace has many tricks, and it's inevitable that there are some that we can't detect." Xiao Ling nodded gently, and then said, "President Xuankong, it's still some time before the final competition of the Alchemy Association, but we have all left the Alchemy Realm, so we don't need to go back to the Alchemy Realm to continue waiting, right?"

"Haha, since you have already evacuated from the Dan Realm, I will naturally not let you go back and wait in vain. The medicinal materials you need for the assessment have been handed over to the Dan Tower's stewards in the Dan Realm, which means that you have passed the assessment."

Xuan Kongzi smiled gently and continued,

"There are many vacant residences in Dan Tower. If Xiao Ling needs anything, you can move in at any time."

"President Xuankong is too polite. In fact, I already have a place to stay in Shengdan City, so there is no need for President Xuankong to bother making other arrangements."

Xiao Ling humbly and politely declined Xuan Kongzi's kindness.

Afterwards, he said goodbye to Cao Ying and Dan Chen respectively, and walked out of the palace with Zi Yan and Xiong Zhan under the reluctant gazes of the two women.

Looking at Xiao Ling's departing figure, Xuan Kongzi turned his gaze to Cao Ying and Dan Chen. Seeing the two of them like this, he felt helpless in his heart.

He was originally happy to think that the relationship between his apprentice and Xiao Ling would develop. But now it seemed that the little girl from the Dan family also had other thoughts about Xiao Ling, which made him laugh for a moment.

"This Xiao Ling is as popular among women as Yao Chen was back then, or even better..."

Chapter 456 A Glimpse

Xiao Ling, Zi Yan and Xiong Zhan slowly walked out of the palace and walked through the corridor inside the Dan Tower.

They passed by a row of transparent glass windows and looked out, with the prosperous scene of the city of Saint-Dan in full view.

The Danta Assessment Square in the North City was especially lively, with voices surging like the tide. The sounds of heated discussions and conversations could be clearly heard by their ears even from a distance.

"Is this the Dan Conference held by Dan Tower? It's so lively beyond imagination." Xiong Zhan was amazed at the scene he witnessed for the first time. He swept his eyes over the dense crowd and was filled with emotion. "The whole city is almost occupied by the crowd. There is no vacant space in every street and corner."

"Dan Tower has always enjoyed an outstanding reputation in the Douqi Continent, and this grand Dan Conference held every thirty years has attracted countless heroes to gather together. If there is a chance, who would not want to witness such a glorious event in person?" Xiao Ling smiled lightly, revealing confidence and expectation in his words.

"When the Alchemy Competition begins, I will definitely go all out and strive for the top spot. Brother Xiong Zhan, don't forget to cheer me on."

"Haha, don't worry! As long as Brother Xiao Ling can win the crown of this alchemy conference, I will definitely be the one cheering the loudest." Xiong Zhan said as he patted his broad chest hard, making a few solid sounds. His laughter was hearty and loud, full of support and expectations for Xiao Ling.

"Since Brother Xiong Zhan values ​​it so much, how could I let you down?" Xiao Ling responded with a smile and then turned his gaze towards the direction of the square where the alchemy meeting was held.

It's a bit regrettable that with just such a casual glance, I didn't find any trace of Xun'er and others.

I don’t know whether they were not near the square or because their vision was blocked, so I couldn’t see clearly.

However, for some unknown reason, Xiao Ling's gaze seemed to be attracted by something inexplicably, and he unconsciously looked towards an attic near the square where the alchemy meeting was held.

The attic towers into the sky like a sharp spear piercing the sky. Its architectural style is unique, and every brick and tile reveals the exquisite craftsmanship.

The eaves of the attic are upturned and decorated with exquisite carvings. The auspicious patterns of dragons and phoenixes sparkle in the sun.
