The Battle Through Heaven
End of Grand Meeting
The silence on the open ground lasted a long time before slowly recovering. This Old Mo had become famous in the Jia Ma Empire much earlier than Gu He, so his evaluation would naturally carry significant weight. Therefore, other than a small group of people, not many felt that he was making irresponsible statements.
Yan Li's expression was green. Old Mo's evaluation undoubtedly indirectly confirmed that the ‘Green Spirit Pill Three Baris’ that Xiao Yan had refined did not have the slightest problem. In that case, he had actually lost this time.
Yan Li clenched his fists and waved his sleeve, storing the medicinal cauldron on the stone table inside his storage ring. After which, he did not have the slightest bit of hesitation as he turned around and hurriedly left under the countless gazes of eyes. The darkness that was visible from the eyes of the three groups of people Fa Ma had made him understand that if he did not take the opportunity to leave now, it would be right now, it was likely that he would be finished when Fa Ma and the others had finished everything here. .
On the high platform, Fa Ma stuffed both of his hands into his sleeves and indifferently saw Yan Li rushing out of the open ground. He could not help but laugh coldly as he asked, "You're thinking of leaving now? Isn't this a little late? "
"Do we need to follow him because we are not needed here?" Hai Bodong smiled and asked.
Not necessary. Fa Ma shook his head slightly and said with a smile, "I have instructed Ao Tuo to put a spiritual imprint on Yan Li's medicinal pill as he examined it. He can't run. "
"The Imperial Alchemist Association Chu Yun will suffer a great loss this time around. It was not easy to take care of a tier four alchemist grandmaster. " Jia Lao smiled and said. His smile was a bit arrogant.
"Since they came, they naturally had to be prepared for such consequences."
Fa Ma smiled. He stared at the open ground and coughed slightly. After waiting for all the gazes to turn towards him, he said with a clear smile and voice, "Since the examination has been completed, now I will announce that champion for the season."
Fa Ma's hand stretched out from his sleeve and his finger pointed at the pale-faced skinny young man on the open ground. "That person is Yan Xiao!"
As Fa Ma's voice landed, an excited ear-piercing howl suddenly sounded from the audience seats. Many people were so excited that their faces flushed red as they stood up from their seats and waved the items in their hands. In an instant, the entire plaza had become a noisy and excited sea.
No wonder the audience became this excited and wild. This contest is different from other Grand Meetings. In the previous Great Meeting, there had always been alchemists within the empire fighting for the champion spot. Therefore, the audience did not have the feeling of being too strong to unite against a common enemy. This time, however, Yan Li, is, the sudden becoming a dark horse that was about to become a champion caused these citizens of the Jia Ma Empire to be stimulated by the feelings of those who did not want to let people from other countries take the place of the champion themselves. After all, none of those who wanted to see the Grand Meeting held by their own country ended up letting other countries, especially enemy countries, gain the honor of being the most accomplished.
This was because the honor that those people would obtain would be built on the shame of the Jia Ma Empire!
Just when Yan Li was about to become the champion, Xiao Yan once again returned and reclaimed the champion spot that was about to leave the country. From the perspective of the surrounding audience, this action was undoubtedly the hope that was scattered in a time when things were very bleak. Therefore, the citizens of the Jia Ma Empire in the open were not affected by completely normal emotions.
Of course, Xiao Yan, who had followed the wishes of the people and defeated Yan Li to become a champion, would naturally and very easily gain the respect and attention of many people. After today, the name Yan Xiao will reverberate throughout the empire!
From a certain point of view, Yan Li had contributed greatly to Xiao Yan being able to gain this kind of unfathomable fame. Without the first sudden appearance, Xiao Yan would at most be an ordinary champion in the hearts of people even if he won. The time between Grand Meetings held every eight years was not long and not short. It was natural for most people in the audience to see the event seven times in their lives. Therefore, the meaning behind winning with Yan Li versus without him would be very different.
Yan Li's participation and failure had helped improve Xiao Yan's reputation. The latter might not care too much about his reputation, but at the very least, when people would discuss the Great Meeting of Alchemists in the future, the young man named Yan Xiao, who had once turned things around, had, it will appear first in everyone's mind, and their words will contain the respect that they deserve.
"Ha ha, I know that this little boy will be the last winner!" Nalan Jie could not help but laugh out loud as she watched the gazes of reverence, adoration, and even the countless adoration point towards Xiao Yan, who was not at all, that was packing up some medicinal ingredients left on the stone table, as if no one else was around.
"Yes." Yeah." Nalan Yanran nodded his head slightly. Her pretty eyes looked at the young man who looked big all over the field despite being skinny in size. His indifferent face showed a strange smile, "He's really amazing!"
"He's more than amazing." Nalan Jie clicked her lips and said, "From today onwards, it seems like any group or force with a certain ability will start to develop olive branches to this little boy. The evaluation from Old Mo earlier had actually entered the hearts of many people. "
"Hey, why? Are you planning to help the Misty Cloud Sect attract people? " Hearing this, Nalan Jie rolled her eyes and said, "Don't tell me I didn't remind you. This person's relationship with Ya Fei of the Primer clan seemed a little familiar. The girl was indeed a source of trouble that could cause men to undergo the toughest ordeal for her. There seems to be quite a lot of difficulty if you want to pull Yan Xiao away from him. Don't forget what kind of attitude Yan Xiao has towards you. "
Hearing Nalan Jie's words, Nalan Yanran furrowed his brows slightly. He was a little upset and unsure. "Ah, I'm not sure what the problem is either. I continue to feel that he seems to have a huge prejudice against me. When he saw me, he looked cold and indifferent, but when he was with Ya Fei or even Yao Ye, he could smile and chat a little. But as soon as I joined, he instantly turned into ice. "
Nalan Yanran was indeed a little desperate. If one were to compare their status, their status was much greater than Ya Fei and even Yao Ye. If one were to compare beauty, he was certain that he would not lose to the two women. However, Yan Xiao ignored him. Among those who were chasing after Nalan Yanran, there was no shortage of those who chose to choose a different approach and deliberately acted coldly towards him. Unfortunately, these people who tried to act cold were noticed by Nalan Yanran because of their bad acting and blacklisted. Therefore, Nalan Yanran did have experience dealing with those who pretended to be cold. However, when faced with Xiao Yan, he actually felt a chill and even hatred in the other party's words.
"He hates me?" As she thought of this, a strange expression appeared on her beautiful face. This was indeed a considerable blow to a person like him who was favored by the heavens.
"Hmm, it seems like I've never offended her before, right?" Nalan Yanran smiled bitterly and shook her head as she muttered in her heart, "Forget it. I will leave a sect elder or Master to settle this matter. This person ... You can tell me what I did that has offended you. "
I'm also not sure why he treated you like this. However, when you get in touch with him in the future, try your best to soften your attitude. Don't just reveal your identity as the young Sect Leader of the Misty Cloud Sect to suppress people. Some men who have strong abilities and character usually keep a respectful distance from women like you. " Nalan Jie shook his head and said.
"When did I use my position as the young Sect Leader to suppress him?" Hearing this, Nalan Yanran could not help but feel the injustice. It seemed like he had maintained a polite demeanor ever since he met Yan Xiao at the Nalan clan house.
"How do I know." Nalan Jie helplessly shook her head. He did not continue to get entangled with this question. Instead, his gaze turned to the young man in the open field who was being congratulated by the many people around him.
Xiao Yan's palm propped itself up on the stone table. A joyful cry appeared like a flash flood as it was sent to his ears. This caused him to slowly exhale, turn around, and raise his head to look at Fa Ma, who was smiling at him.
"Mr Yan Xiao, congratulations." The Little Princess smiled as she walked over and spoke to Xiao Yan.
I'm just lucky. Xiao Yan smiled and said. Once again, he had used the same excuse that he had used so many times.
"What is luck in that? This is your true ability. Ke Ke, to be honest, even big brother Liu Ling and I admire you a lot. " Little Princess laughed softly.
Xiao Yan raised his eyes and swept them at Liu Ling from a short distance away, who was staring at Liu Ling. When Liu Ling saw that Xiao Yan had turned his head, he was lost for a moment. Immediately, an ugly smile that could hardly be considered friendly appeared on Liu Ling's face. The latter even cupped his hands together stiffly. For the usually haughty Liu Ling to be able to carry out such etiquette, it was likely that she had actually accepted Xiao Yan's ability.
"This time, there are no complaints about my loss. After I return after this, I will focus entirely on learning from Master. I used to be too arrogant. I hope that I still have a chance to compete with Master Yan Xiao in the future. " Liu Ling walked towards Xiao Yan and said softly. After experiencing this Grand Meeting, his character became less haughty.
"There has to be such an opportunity. This place if it's too noisy. I'll go first. If we have a chance in the future, let's meet again. "
Xiao Yan smiled and swept his gaze over to the competition arena where he experienced this soul-shaking competition. After which, he bid farewell to Little Princess and Liu Ling before walking out of the open as he pleased. Since the Grand Meeting was over, there was no point staying to receive countless cheers and applause. He still longed to find Fa Ma and get the prize for the champion, the medicinal formula ‘Pil Spirit Defrost’. "
"Ah, let's go too." As Liu Ling looked at the back of Xiao Yan who was slowly disappearing in the alley, she helplessly shook her head and said to the Little Princess. After which, he slowly followed Xiao Yan.
As the three people took turns to leave, the Grand Meeting Alchemist, which had become the most eye-catching event in the capital, was finally over.
