Sun Magic, Arrogant Sun, Xiao Yan

"Brother Tong, are you saying that these two guys were planted by the Old Celestial Master?"

No, we just had a few more people sign up for the competition, right? Old Celestial Master, you're being too Mind's Eye..."

Xiao Yan was about to complain, but when he glanced at Zhang Chulan and Zhang Lingyu beside him, he stopped himself from continuing.

After all, it's really not very polite to criticize someone's elders in front of them.

"I'm sorry, Master..."

Seeing that the others had understood the reason for the incident, Zhang Lingyu could no longer pretend to be mute and immediately prepared to apologize.

However, before Zhang Lingyu could finish speaking, Wu Tong waved his hand, stopping him:

"Alright, alright, we already knew the Old Celestial Master's personality."

It must be because our registration disrupted his plans that this old man is causing us trouble.

But it doesn't matter, we're just here to have fun anyway, and we don't care too much about the outcome of the Grand Rite of Luo Tian.

"That's perfect. With this group of people, the competition will actually be even more exciting."

"Besides, they weren't in line with us this time. You should be the one who's worried, right?"

It seems that although the Old Celestial Master managed to get people in, he didn't make any arrangements for them; everything was done according to the rules.

Otherwise, we might be the ones fighting against them.

Of course, it's also possible that this was intentionally designed to confuse the public, since the previous arrangements all seemed too deliberate.

However, Wu Tong didn't voice this guess. If it was true, that would be fine, but if he guessed wrong, wouldn't that be awkward?

"... Is that so?"

Hearing Wu Tong's words, Zhang Lingyu nodded thoughtfully.

Then he gave a wry smile and said, "Master, you've really screwed me over this time."

After giving a wry smile, Zhang Lingyu bowed solemnly to Wu Tong and the others. "Although you don't care, I still have to apologize, since it was our fault."

"Alright, alright, it's really nothing, just a little trouble. I was just grumbling a bit, but I haven't taken the trouble to heart."

Seeing Zhang Lingyu's serious expression, Xiao Yan quickly waved his hand and said...

He prefers spending time with Zhang Lingyu to spending time with Zhang Chulan.

At the very least, Zhang Chulan's personality suits his taste, and they can chat together.

Zhang Lingyu's words were far too serious, making Xiao Yan feel uncomfortable around her.

After speaking, Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Zizai's name on the notice board and asked curiously:

"However, what I'm curious about now is that Brother Xiao's face looks like he's over thirty years old, doesn't it?"

So, is he just going to go straight onto the field like that?

Aren't you, Mount Longhu, afraid of being accused of shady dealings?

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chulan immediately denied it:

"How could that be? If Brother Xiao were to go on stage, he would definitely be disguised. How could he just go on stage with his original appearance?"

Besides, Brother Xiao is just Temporary Worker; he certainly can't reveal too much, so disguise is essential.

Wu Tong nodded in agreement. "That's right, and there's also Xiao Yan. Don't underestimate the Primordial Qi of Outsider. Although the energy level of Qi is not high, its functionality is quite significant."

Within the system of Outsider, there are quite a few techniques that can be transformed into something else entirely.

Examples include the "Thousand Faces Spectrum" from the Qian Family of Henan, the "Disguise Technique" from the Xiao Clan of Northeast China, the Daoist Face Cleansing Talisman, illusion techniques, and the "All-Encompassing Hands," one of the Eight Wonders...

These can all be easily disguised, so for the Old Celestial Master, this is really not a problem.

"Hehehe... Brother Tong, now that you mention it, I'm starting to get tempted. Isn't this the essential skill for murder, arson, and disposing of evidence?"

"It seems perfect for a fantasy novel protagonist like me!"

Upon hearing Wu Tong's words, Xiao Yan immediately stroked his chin and chuckled strangely.

It's obvious he's not thinking anything good.

Seeing Xiao Yan's expression, Wu Tong shook his head helplessly.

'As expected of the protagonist of a classic fantasy novel, he changes his appearance, commits murder and arson, and destroys the evidence...'

It's pretty exciting, but the plot is really cliché.

Just then, Xun'er's gentle voice suddenly rang out:

"The techniques are good, but I wonder if anyone will use them to do things like deceiving someone's feelings or stealing someone's affections."

"Don't you think so, Brother Xiao Yan?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan immediately shivered and quickly turned around, smiling:

"Yes, yes, that kind of person is the most despicable."

"Hehe, what about Yan Xiao?"

Forehead...

I knew it.

Upon hearing Xiao Xun'er mention the name Yan Xiao, Xiao Yan immediately understood that she was jealous.

However, recalling how he used the alias Yan Xiao to flirt with women like Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran in the original story, Xiao Yan felt a pang of guilt.

And so, under the watchful eyes of Wu Tong and the others, the guilty-hearted Xiao Yan instantly transformed into a henpecked husband, coaxing Xiao Xun'er for more than half an hour before successfully getting through this Asura situation.

Just as Wu Tong and the others were about to tease Xiao Yan, the competition began.

——

The next scene was naturally one-sided, with no other group members opposing it.

Xiao Yan proceeded to easily defeat the weaker opponents, taking down two Passerby A after another.

Then, to everyone's surprise, he transformed into a small giant covered in golden flames, and then eliminated Wang Ergou, who was affecting him with his Martial Soul.

Looking down at Xiao Yan, who was in Sun Mode with golden flames Entanglement him, Wu Tong searched the database and easily found the source of this power.

Sun Magic

Source: The Seven Deadly Sins world, Sin of Pride Escanor.

Abilities: Magical powers related to the sun; personality and physique change drastically with the time of day.

At midnight, its energy level is at its lowest. Its power gradually increases as the sun rises, reaching its peak at noon, possessing immense magical power and extreme danger; the powerful Sun Power can incinerate anything.

"Heh, the Arrogant Sun? Does its personality and power gradually change according to the hours of the day?"

However, judging from Xiao Yan's appearance, it seems that his personality has not changed, but his strength seems to have increased a lot. He is probably already at the Third Order now.

I just don't know if this Sun Magic is an optimized version or a weakened version.

It's quite unexpected, though; Xiao Yan actually has such a good thing.

Looks like he probably won it in a lottery. This kid's pretty lucky.

However, if you look at it that way, my "Crimson Wheel Sutra" is quite suitable for him now.

emmm...

Alright, I'll exchange with him later. I happen to be somewhat interested in that so-called Flame Mantra that can evolve Infinite.

However, that alone isn't enough; it would be best to add Yao Lao's alchemy experience as well, hehe...

Also, Wang Ergou's Martial Soul is quite interesting; Zhang Chulan didn't explain it all before.

"After copying his Martial Soul just now, I realized it was this thing. Interesting. I knew I made the right choice coming to this match."

After observing Xiao Yan for a while, Wu Tong turned her gaze back to the two items in her hands.

At this moment, the two objects lying in Wu Tong's hands were the Martial Soul that had just been copied from Wang Ergou.
