People in Doupo: Unparalleled Talents Actually Bring a System

Although Xiao Ling is young and lacks qualifications, experience and cultivation, this does not affect his potential position in Danta in the future.

Under the focus of many eyes, Xiao Ling nodded slightly, agreeing to the proposal.

Although he had no ambition to become one of the three giants of Danta, Xiao Ling would naturally not refuse directly in front of everyone to avoid causing unnecessary embarrassment and laughter.

However, when Xiao Ling heard the second half of Xuan Kongzi's words, he always felt that something was wrong.

The way Xuan Kongzi looked at him, and the slightly mysterious tone he used before, seemed to imply that there was something else he was going to tell him, which made Xiao Ling feel a little curious and confused.

Chapter 474: Three Thousand Flames of Fire Farewell to Xun'er

"Xiao Ling, as the champion of this competition, as promised before, you will receive a scroll of soul cultivation secrets from ancient times."

As soon as Xuan Kongzi finished speaking, he waved his arm lightly, and a parchment scroll exuding a sense of vicissitudes appeared in his palm.

With a light push of his palm, the scroll flew towards Xiao Ling as fast as lightning in a dazzling light.

Hearing this, Xiao Ling couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint and subtle smile.

Although he is not short of soul cultivation techniques now, after all, he has the existence of the Spirit of the Ancestral Stone, which is like a portable treasure trove of wisdom. He can almost access any secret method related to spiritual cultivation.

However, the preciousness of the soul cultivation technique is self-evident. Even if it is given to others, it is an immeasurable gift of favor.

In addition, Xiao Ling was also full of curiosity deep in his heart. He wanted to know whether this volume of soul cultivation method passed down from ancient times was the Taiyi Soul Sutra that he had once obtained and extracted from the system.

This curiosity, like the subtle touch that plucked his heartstrings, made him full of anticipation for the scroll that was about to be in his hands.

Xiao Ling gently bent his palm, and a gentle suction surged from the palm, firmly grasping the flying light. The light gradually dissipated, revealing the ancient sheepskin scroll inside.

His fingers touched it lightly, and a faint sense of strangeness quietly emerged in his heart, as if he had touched the long river of time and felt the ancient heritage.

"Hmm?" A hint of surprise flashed across Xiao Ling's eyes. With his rich experience now, even without careful observation, he could perceive a little mystery of this technique with just a little perception. "This 'Ancient Soul Forging Technique' is not the 'Taiyi Soul Technique' I learned before. Moreover, judging from the grade of this technique, it seems to be far superior to the 'Taiyi Soul Technique'. After practicing it, the improvement of soul power must be remarkable."

A trace of doubt flashed through Xiao Ling's mind, but after a moment of pondering, he vaguely understood the reason.

After careful consideration, he couldn't help but speculate that the final prize must have been temporarily replaced by the Danta organizers at the last minute.

If this were not the case, even if the prize was not the 'Taiyi Soul Art' as originally guessed, then the other soul cultivation techniques used as a replacement should be of the same grade as the Taiyi Soul Art, and the gap between them should not be too great.

However, the quality of the 'Ancient Soul Forging Technique' currently presented by Danta is obviously of a higher level.

As for the reason for this change, Xiao Ling suddenly understood it after a little thought. Undoubtedly, it was because his talent in the competition was too dazzling, and Danta was taking this opportunity to win him over.

Although Xiao Ling was extremely curious about the specific contents of this scroll on soul cultivation, he knew that this was not the time to read it carefully. He just flipped his wrist slightly, and under the hot gazes of everyone, he properly put the sheepskin scroll into the ring. His movements were clean and neat, without any drag.

Afterwards, Xiao Ling turned his gaze to Xuan Kongzi. He leaned forward slightly, clasped his hands together, and bowed slightly to Xuan Kongzi.

"Haha, Xiao Ling, with your attainments in alchemy today, it is really too polite for you to be so polite in front of me." Xuan Kongzi looked at Xiao Ling's actions and waved his hand with a gentle smile on his face.

The thunderous applause around them gradually fell silent, and Xuan Kongzi slowly spoke: "The winner of the competition has emerged. In two days, the gate to the star field will be opened. On that glorious day, the top ten outstanding people in the alchemy meeting will have the honor of stepping into that special space. You will have the opportunity to subdue the Three Thousand Flames, which ranks ninth on the Different Fire List!"

As soon as Xuan Kongzi finished speaking, the atmosphere in the arena instantly heated up. Not only Cao Ying and Dan Chen, but also the old man Qinghua, who was a little silent before, and the other contestants who played supporting roles in the competition and reached the top ten, all had the flame of desire in their eyes.

Everyone present is an alchemist, and as an alchemist, who doesn’t dream of taming a strange fire of their own?

They couldn't help but turn their eyes to Xiao Ling. This young man had achieved remarkable achievements in alchemy with his extraordinary talent and unremitting efforts.

However, his achievements were also inseparable from the blessing of the strange fire he subdued.

That strange fire not only enhanced his strength, but also became a powerful aid in his journey of alchemy.

This achievement undoubtedly inspired everyone present to yearn for and pursue the strange fire.

In addition, the news that Xiao Ling, the champion of this alchemy competition, already possesses a strange fire has now spread widely and become a well-known fact.

Obviously, there was no need for him to give up the precious flame he already possessed in pursuit of a new exotic fire.

With Xiao Ling, the strongest opponent, withdrawing from the competition, the other contestants undoubtedly saw a glimmer of new hope, as if the opportunity to subdue the strange fire was right before their eyes.

As everyone knows, the difficulty of taming the Three Thousand Flames is a truth that has stood the test of time. Otherwise, countless strong men have challenged Danta over the years but have failed to successfully subdue it.

Even so, even if the chances of success are very slim, who would be willing to give up this hard-won opportunity to try?

After all, if the Three Thousand Flames chose him, it would undoubtedly be a great fortune, and it could be said that he had directly stepped onto the pinnacle of success.

Such an opportunity is hard to give up for anyone. Everyone holds a glimmer of hope in their heart, hoping that they can become the one favored by the goddess of luck.

However, at this moment, Xiao Yan's demeanor seemed quite calm. His face did not reveal the excitement and joy of the other contestants who made it into the top ten. It seemed as if he was not overly enthusiastic or in awe of the Three Thousand Flames that others longed for.

According to common sense, Xiao Yan should have had the honor of subduing the Three Thousand Flames as he ranked among the top ten in the Alchemy Conference.

However, facing the legendary Three Thousand Flames, if Xiao Yan said that he felt no wavering in his heart, he would undoubtedly be deceiving himself.

After all, the fame and power of that strange fire is enough to make any alchemist excited.

However, deep in his heart, he had already quietly given up the idea of ​​taking it into his pocket.

Although Xiao Yan's contact with Xiao Ling was not very close, it was definitely not a small amount. After years of getting along with each other, he had a deep understanding of Xiao Ling's path of cultivation.

Through countless observations and exchanges, he gradually realized that the martial arts practiced by Xiao Ling seemed to have a unique special ability to devour flames. Even powerful strange fires could be devoured and fused by it.

Xiao Yan often witnessed Xiao Ling refining pills. The precise control of temperature and the skillful use of flames left a deep impression on him.

Thinking back to his time in the Gama Empire, he had often received careful guidance from Xiao Ling, and the experience and skills in refining medicine still benefited him greatly.

However, every time he saw Xiao Ling refining pills after not seeing him for a while, Xiao Yan would always notice a significant change in the color and intensity of the flames. This change was so drastic that it was impossible to ignore it.

Although Xiao Ling and the people around him had never talked about these subtle changes in detail, Xiao Yan only needed to think about it for a moment to sketch out the general outline.

He knew in his heart that these significant changes were undoubtedly closely related to the special technique that Xiao Ling was practicing.

Therefore, according to common sense, the Three Thousand Flames of Fire are very likely to have become the next target of his cousin Xiao Ling.

Unless his cousin is unable to subdue the Three Thousand Flames, and the strong men ahead of him also fail, Xiao Yan may get a chance to try to win the recognition of the Three Thousand Flames.

Under such circumstances, Xiao Yan knew very well that his chances of obtaining the Three Thousand Flames were almost negligible.

However, in his opinion, such an idea was simply like a fantasy, and the possibility of it happening was extremely small, even lower than the chance of winning the first prize in the lottery game that he occasionally played in his previous life.

With this mentality, Xiao Ling was more open-minded. He did not hold out too much hope at the beginning, so that even if he failed in the end, he would not be too disappointed.

Driven by this mentality, Xiao Yan appeared to be quite open-minded. He did not have too high expectations from the beginning, so even if the final result was not satisfactory, he would not be too disappointed.

"I did find some clues related to the Strange Fire in that ruins before." Xiao Yan gently touched his chin and thought to himself, "After the matter of the Three Thousand Flames is over, I will say goodbye to my cousin Xiao Ling, and then maybe I can go and check it out. Maybe I can really get a Strange Fire."

In Xiao Yan's mind, the future action plan has become increasingly clear, and when the time is right, it will be the day of action.

Xiao Ling was naturally filled with desire for the famous Three Thousand Flames.

Although becoming the champion of the Alchemy Competition made him famous in Zhongzhou, this was not his only pursuit.

His real goal in participating in the Alchemy Conference this time has always been to conquer the complete strange fire that ranks in the top ten of the strange fire list, and Xiao Ling has never had the experience of swallowing such a strange fire.

“Once I successfully devour the Three Thousand Flames, even if my current cultivation is already quite high and I can’t get as much improvement as before, it will no longer be an insurmountable hurdle to be promoted to a high-level Dou Zun.”

"Afterwards, if I can collect all the resources in the Dou Sheng Ruins, then all the resources needed for the Dou Zun realm will be in my pocket. With these resources, will the threshold of the Dou Sheng realm still be far away? Once the Dou Sheng realm is within reach, then the achievement of the Dou Emperor seems to be just a matter of time."

As Xiao Ling was thinking this in his mind, his anticipation grew stronger, as if he had already seen the bright future waving at him.

"Xiao Ling, if you have some free time in the future, why not arrange some time to come to Danta to see me. I have some matters here, and I hope to meet with you in person to discuss them in detail."

Just as Xiao Ling was immersed in his beautiful vision of the future, Xuan Kongzi's voice was like a meteor suddenly appearing in the night sky, cutting through his thoughts and instantly pulling his attention back to reality.

Xiao Ling quickly came to his senses and realized that it was Xuan Kongzi communicating with him through soul transmission.

He looked up and saw a half-smile in Xuan Kongzi's eyes, as if there was a deep meaning hidden in it.

Xiao Ling silently confirmed his guess in his heart. Xuan Kongzi came to him to discuss something important.

Although Xiao Ling felt a little curious, he had no intention of asking immediately.

He knew that since Xuan Kongzi mentioned that they would have a talk later, everything would be revealed then.

So, Xiao Ling also responded with soul transmission: "I understand, President Xuan Kongzi. I will go to Danta as promised..."

Afterwards, Xuan Kongzi gave a speech on the successful conclusion of the Alchemy Conference, his words were full of expectations for the future and praise for the contestants.

As he finished speaking, Danta's deacons began to get busy, dismantling the facilities and equipment of each competition unit in an orderly manner.

The atmosphere on the scene gradually changed from enthusiastic and exciting to calm and orderly.

At this time, the few contestants who had not yet left exchanged polite farewells with each other. They either walked towards their companions or slowly walked towards their residences in Saint Dan City.

As these contestants left one after another, all the agendas of this alchemy meeting, except for the battle for the Three Thousand Flames, which was limited to a few people and the result of which has not yet been announced, have come to an end.

However, if one wants to witness such a grand gathering again on this Douqi continent, one must wait patiently for a full thirty years.

Thirty years have passed, time has flown by, and people and things have changed. No one can predict whether everything will remain the same as it is today.

In these long thirty years, what kind of wonderful legendary stories will Douqi Continent perform? Only as time slowly passes can they be revealed one by one...

……

"Master Yao, since the alchemy conference has come to an end, why don't we return to Xingyun Pavilion first." The little medical fairy opened her red lips slightly, her voice was ethereal and pleasant, like the sound of spring water hitting rocks, echoing crisply in the air.

"Xian'er, don't you really plan to meet that kid Xiao Ling? If he mistakenly thinks that you have ended your retreat but did not show up to observe the alchemy meeting in which he participated, he might feel a little disappointed and resentful." Yao Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, and there was a hint of surprise in his tone.

"Since we failed to meet at the first moment, there is no need to deliberately arrange a meeting later. If I suddenly show up now, I'm afraid it will only cause unnecessary trouble. I'd better not add to his troubles."

The little doctor smiled gently, with a gentle and peaceful smile on her lips.

"As for the misunderstanding, you don't have to worry about it, Yao Lao. I believe he has already been aware of our presence to some extent, but he is not yet completely sure of his speculation."

"You do have a point. After all, it is not appropriate for an old man like me to interfere too much in the affairs of young people like you. Let's go. We will wait for the boy's return in Xingyun Pavilion."

Yao Chen smiled indifferently, and as he spoke, his sleeves lifted lightly, as if plucking an invisible string in the air, causing a subtle wave in the void.

Amidst this rippling light, the figures of Yao Chen and Xiao Yixiang gradually became blurred until they were completely integrated into the surrounding scenery and disappeared without a trace.

……

In the blink of an eye, the night slowly unfolded like a deep scroll, shrouding the Douqi Continent in tranquility.

The night sky was vast and boundless, and the stars were inlaid in it like tiny diamonds, sparkling with dreamy light. They seemed to come from a mysterious dimension outside the Douqi Continent, gazing at this continent from afar.

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the silver light falls like flowing water, covering the city of San Dan with a mysterious veil. Under the cover of the night, this ancient and glorious city looks more solemn and charming.

Thanks to the lively aftermath of the Bai Ri Dan Hui, the night in Sheng Dan City did not fall into silence.

The streets were brightly lit and filled with people. Laughter and conversation echoed in the streets and alleys, as if the bustling daytime was still going on.

In front of the shops, various lanterns swayed gracefully, illuminating the rare medicinal herbs and elixirs on the stalls, attracting the attention of passers-by.

Such a lively and warm scene, if there is a beautiful woman by your side, appreciating and tasting together, it will undoubtedly be the icing on the cake, and it is the most suitable situation...

At the top of a high tower in the city of Saint-Dan, on the roof, a man and a woman were tightly holding each other. They stood side by side, overlooking the bustling night scene of the city.
