People in Doupo: Unparalleled Talents Actually Bring a System

She looked at the faint fluctuations of fighting spirit around Xiao Ling, and a bitter feeling rose in her throat. Once Ling, a figure who could stir up the situation in Zhongzhou, joined the game, the so-called "partner cooperation in battle" rule would become a shackle that bound her hands and feet.

His chin, which had been raised before, unconsciously lowered, and his body trembled slightly under the wide sleeves. There was no trace of the arrogance he had just had, and his heart was filled with anxiety about the unknown situation.

After a moment of silence, the leading Hua Zong elder coughed lightly, and his hoarse voice echoed over the square: "Master Xiao Ling has entered the competition as a partner, so according to the ancestral rules, he can naturally participate in the competition."

Her cloudy eyes swept over the figures of Xiao Ling and the other two, and her skinny fingers moved slightly, "But the ancestral rules also clearly state that one person cannot be a twin partner at the same time."

"This contest will be a two-on-two battle. Master Xiao Ling can choose one of Han Xue and Han Yuezhong to join hands with Hua Jin and Demon Flower Evil Lord to decide who will be the next leader of the Hua Sect."

As soon as the Hua Sect elder finished speaking, the square exploded in an instant, with the sound of discussions rising and falling like boiling water in a cauldron.

"Is Master Xiao Ling really going to die? But isn't he an alchemist? Even if his cultivation has already reached the Dou Zun level, is he really good at fighting?"

"A two-on-two competition between Dou Zun masters is something you don't see often!"

The guests in the viewing gallery were whispering to each other, and all kinds of noisy sounds mixed together.

The representatives of various forces who had originally intended to just go through the motions and give face to Hua Zong now had their eyes wide open, looking at the people confronting each other in the arena, with excitement that was difficult to conceal in their eyes.

Who could have expected that this seemingly foregone conclusion battle for the position of clan leader would, due to the appearance of Xiao Ling, turn into a rare pinnacle showdown in the Central Plains. It was truly worth the trip!

After receiving Ling's affirmative answer, Xiao Ling raised a perfect smile at the corner of his lips, and clasped his fists slightly towards the elder on the high platform, his black clothes fluttering as he moved:

"Thank you for your help, Elder. After this, Xingyun Pavilion and Huazong have weathered the storm together. If there is a need in the future, Xingyun Pavilion will definitely help with all its strength, and we will forge this comradeship."

"Haha, Master Xiao Ling is thoughtful." Upon hearing Xiao Ling's words, the Hua Sect elder who was in charge smiled more and more on his wrinkled face, and his cloudy eyes moved slightly.

"It is naturally a mutually beneficial thing for my Hua Sect to be on good terms with Xingyun Pavilion. However, Master Xiao Ling should first decide whose partner he will appear as."

The reason why the elder agreed to let Xiao Ling join the game as the partner of one of Han Xue and Han Yue was because he saw that the three of them already had a connection.

Although it is difficult to tell the depth of Xiao Ling's friendship with the two sisters, his courage to openly intervene on their behalf is enough to tell that their relationship is anything but ordinary.

After years of development, the Xingyun Pavilion has become a powerful force in Zhongzhou. Xiao Ling, as the core of the pavilion, has become an eighth-grade alchemist at the young age. His superb alchemy skills have attracted countless sects to flock to him, and he even has the momentum to impact the legendary ninth-grade alchemist realm.

If Hua Zong can take this opportunity to conclude an alliance with Xingyun Pavilion, they will benefit greatly in the future whether it is the trade of elixirs or mutual assistance. This will be of great benefit to the development of Hua Zong. How can they easily miss such a sure-win option?

After the elder reminded him, Xiao Ling lowered his eyes and looked at Han Yue and Han Xue beside him, with a gentle smile on his lips: "Who of you two wants to be the leader of the Hua Sect?"

The two sisters looked at each other, and Han Yue's light purple eyes met Han Xue's silver-gray eyes in the air.

After a moment, Han Xue was the first to smile, her snow-white hair swaying as she moved: "Let my sister do it. My personality is too casual, and I am not suitable to be in charge of the sect. Besides, my sister is the next successor chosen by Granny Hua, and she is the most suitable choice to take on this important task."

As she spoke, she gently took Han Yue's arm. The warmth from her fingertips came through the sleeve, silently conveying trust and dependence.

Seeing the sincerity in Han Xue's eyes, Han Yue's light purple eyes rippled gently. She shook her head gently without making any rebuttal.

If Han Xue wanted to compete for the position of clan leader, she would give up the opportunity without hesitation. The friendship between the two sisters since they grew up together has made them value each other's future more than their own.

Besides, when she was alive, Granny Hua had indeed intended for her to inherit the throne. Now that Han Xue had taken the initiative to decline, she no longer refused and just held her sister's hand.

Seeing that the two sisters had made up their minds, Xiao Ling's eyes turned and he looked back at the elder on the high platform with a bright smile.

"The elder is right. I can only choose one partner."

He raised his hand and gestured to Han Yue beside him, and continued, "Today, I, Xiao Ling, will participate in this sect leader test as Han Yue's partner!"

As soon as these words came out, thunderous cheers suddenly broke out from all around the square.

On the seats, the crisp sound of folding fans hitting palms, the crisp sound of cups clinking, and the cheers that come one after another interweave into waves.

There was excitement in everyone's eyes, and they were obviously looking forward to Xiao Ling's participation in the battle.

Master Xiao Ling was able to stand up and stand up for the two sisters Han Xue and Han Yue who were trapped by the rules. This chivalry and courage can make people feel relieved and refreshed.

Seeing the situation take a turn for the worse, Hua Jin's nails almost dug into her palms, and it seemed as if thousands of dazzling lights were exploding in front of her eyes.

Her previous complacency vanished into thin air, and she felt dizzy and even her standing was a little unstable.

But at this moment, she had no choice but to take a deep breath, her chest heaving violently, to barely suppress her surging emotions.

She slowly turned her head and cast a somewhat panicked and questioning look at the Demon Flower Evil King beside her.

The latter of the two is the more powerful, and everything depends on his will.

As if he understood what Hua Jin was thinking, the Demon Flower Evil King looked at Xiao Ling solemnly and slowly fanned the folding fan in his hand.

Although he had heard many rumors about Xiao Ling, there were always some exaggerations in the rumors. With his strength as a six-star Dou Zun, even in the Hua Sect, there were only a few who could defeat him.

Although Xiao Ling has outstanding talent, he has only broken through to the Dou Zun level for a few years. In the Dou Zun realm, he is probably not considered to be the top existence.

Moreover, Master Xiao Ling is most famous for his alchemy skills. It is not difficult to imagine that he has limited energy invested in cultivation, and most of his mind is spent on alchemy.

Although the Demon Flower Evil King was unable to detect Xiao Ling's specific cultivation level, he simply assumed that the other party was an alchemist and blocked the detection with his powerful soul power and special means.

He had never thought that the seemingly peaceful Xiao Ling in front of him was not weaker than himself, but was far stronger than he had imagined. This made his investigation like a fog and he gained nothing.

Thinking of this, the Demon Flower Evil King calmed himself down and nodded affirmatively to Hua Jin.

Seeing this, Hua Jin's tense expression finally relaxed. In her mind, she shared the same sentiments as the Demon Flower Evil Lord. In terms of actual combat prowess, this renowned alchemist might not be able to defeat the Demon Flower Evil Lord. Despite some unexpected changes, she still had a greater advantage in the position of Flower Sect leader.

Chapter 596 Fight

The silent eye contact between Hua Jin and the evil flower king came to an end, and the tense shoulders suddenly relaxed, as if the panic just now had never existed.

The Demon Flower Evil King gently folded his folding fan and walked forward with a leisurely pace. The mandala pattern embroidered on his black brocade robe appeared and disappeared with his movements.

He looked at Xiao Ling with a smile that was like a hidden knife in honey, and his voice was as gentle as a venomous snake:

"Master Xiao Ling's name has long been known throughout the Central Plains. I have also heard of it. However, this competition is related to the inheritance of the Hua Sect, so I dare not slack off in the slightest. If I have offended you in the future, I hope you will forgive me."

The Demon Flower Evil King is sinister and cruel by nature. He has never taken seriously those who are less well-off than himself. But this time, he has rarely restrained his edge.

It's because he knows very well that Xiao Ling in front of him is no ordinary person, and he has Xingyun Pavilion and Danta as his backers.

What's more, Xiao Ling has become an eighth-grade top alchemist at the young age. Such status and position are enough to make any force dare not underestimate him.

He knew better than anyone that if he really fell out with Xiao Ling, the other party would make him suffer as long as he was willing to pay some price.

In this world where the strong are respected, offending a top alchemist is tantamount to creating an irresistible enemy for oneself.

After weighing the pros and cons, the Demon Flower Evil King had to temporarily put aside his arrogance and try to maintain a polite expression.

Xiao Ling's azure eyes swept across the fleeting gloom in the eyes of the Demon Flower Evil Lord, and a faint sneer appeared at the corner of his lips.

He could also figure out most of the other party's plan.

However, Xiao Ling did not intend to waste any more words on this aspect. He just let the fighting spirit in his body surge suddenly, his black clothes rustled, and even the bluestone bricks under his feet shook slightly.

"Haha, there's no point in talking more..." His voice was low and cold, with an air of unquestionable power, "Next, let's see who's the winner. With me here, the position of the Hua Sect's leader will never be yours."

The Demon Flower Evil Lord stood there in a daze, his folding fan making a creaking sound, but the smile on his face was frozen as if covered with a thin layer of ice.

Xiao Ling's almost contemptuous response was like a heavy hammer hitting his self-proclaimed dignity.

He lowered his eyes to hide the murderous intent surging in his eyes, and a sneer escaped from his throat. Xiao Ling was so ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. Did he really think that he could do whatever he wanted in Hua Sect with the identity of an eighth-grade alchemist?

Under the black sleeves, his fingertips stroked the poisoned silver needles hidden in the sleeves, and the dark purple fighting spirit flowed wildly in his meridians.

Those sinister and shady methods flashed through his mind quickly. When the competition comes, he will definitely take advantage of the close combat to use some undetectable methods on Xiao Ling. Then, when the right opportunity comes, he will torture him severely.

Thinking of Xiao Ling's miserable appearance under his secret torture in the future, the Demon Flower Evil Lord raised a sinister arc at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were full of sinister pleasure.

Let you, the arrogant one, pay the price for your rudeness today!

After deciding on the contestants, Han Xue whispered a few words to her sister Han Yue, then looked at Xiao Ling and gave him some instructions, then jumped up and left the square lightly.

Then, she followed Xiao Ling's previous instructions and went to the seat on the high platform where Mu Qingluan was.

At this moment, Xiao Ling and Han Yue stopped standing side by side, and the noisy discussions in the square receded like the tide, leaving only the tense and stagnant air silently surging.

On the high platform, a young girl in a scarlet brocade robe with cloud patterns trembled her bare hands, and her fingertips touched the bronze bell carved with lotus patterns at her side.

"when--"

As the fighting spirit was injected into his fingertips, a clear bell sound suddenly exploded, startling the sleeping butterflies in the sea of ​​flowers.

The young girl announced loudly, the last part of her voice wrapped in a strong fighting spirit, spreading throughout the whole place: "The battle for the leader of the Flower Sect, a two-on-two contest, from now on, regardless of life or death, the loser will leave the stage!"

As the words of the Flower Sect disciple faded into the air, a sinister sneer appeared on the face of the Demon Flower Evil Lord.

He tapped the ground lightly with his toes, and his figure tore through the air like a ghost, rushing towards Xiao Ling.

In an instant, the vast fighting spirit spread out like a surging tide, covering the sky and the earth. Wherever it passed, the blue bricks on the ground cracked into pieces, and even the petals flying in the air were crushed into powder by this pressure.

"Master Xiao Ling..." His voice was filled with chilling coldness, and the tail tone was extremely long, "I'm going to offend you a lot from now on."

With a flick of his wrist, the folding fan swung out like a sharp blade, drawing a strange arc in the air, "Everyone in the world says that an eighth-grade alchemist is omnipotent. Today, I want to see what methods you have!"

After saying that, the dark purple fighting spirit around him suddenly surged, transforming into countless vine shadows that pounced towards Xiao Ling with bared fangs and claws, as if wanting to eat him alive.

The Demonic Flower Evil King came rushing over with overwhelming momentum, dark purple fighting spirit surging around his body, and even the air made a shrill whistle wherever he passed.

On the other hand, Xiao Ling's deep blue eyes were calm and there was even a faint smile on the corner of his lips, as if he didn't take the Demon Flower Evil King seriously at all.

Xiao Ling turned his head to look at Han Yue beside him. At this moment, the strands of silver hair on her forehead fluttered in the breeze. He reached out and tucked the hair behind her ears. He chuckled and said, "Yue'er, please step back for now. I will end this farce by myself. You just need to watch me perform from the side."

Hearing Xiao Ling's words, Han Yue's butterfly-like eyelashes trembled slightly, and a hint of surprise appeared in her light purple pupils.

She subconsciously held Xiao Ling's hand, her voice filled with uncontrollable worry, "What, you really want to fight alone?"

"That Demon Flower Evil Lord is a six-star Dou Zun, and Hua Jin also has a four-star Dou Zun cultivation. The two have worked together for many years, so their offensive must be impenetrable. Now that I am also a four-star Dou Zun, I can at least stop one of them for you, which can more or less help you a little."

Before Han Yue finished her words, Xiao Ling had already placed his other hand on the back of her slightly cold hand.

He chuckled, and gently stroked the back of her tense hand with his fingertips, with an unquestionable certainty in his tone:

"Yue'er, they are just two Dou Zun. Don't you believe in my strength? Don't worry, these opponents can't defeat me. I am very strong."

Han Yue's hesitant words were blocked by this gentle yet strong tone.

She looked at the determined light in Xiao Ling's eyes and swallowed back the worry that was about to come to her lips.

Finally, she nodded gently, then loosened her hand from Xiao Ling's and took a step back. The worry in her light purple pupils gradually turned into trust in Xiao Ling.

"Then you must be careful. I am waiting for your good news."

Seeing that Han Yue had safely retreated behind him, Xiao Ling's eyes instantly turned as cold as frost, and all his attention was fixed forward.

The Demon Flower Evil King was surrounded by dark purple fighting spirit, and he came like a ghost. Wherever his powerful pressure passed, the blue bricks on the ground cracked and raised clouds of dust.

In just a short moment of conversation with Han Yue, the figure had approached to within ten feet, and the sound of the folding fan breaking through the air was clearly heard by everyone present.

Xiao Ling stepped on the tip of his toes suddenly, and the bluestone slab cracked. He rushed towards the Demonic Flower King like an arrow.

At the same time, a scorching breath exploded from his body, like a scorching sun descending, and the temperature in the air suddenly rose.
