Examination Concludes

Like Bai Ying and the others, Xiao Ming didn't use any Soul Skill. Instead, his Soul Power surged from between his brows, transforming into a large hand, which he then forcefully slammed down on the four people's Soul Power. 69🅂🄷🅄🅇.🄲🄾🄼

Although Xiao Ming acted casually, Cao Ying and the other three were on high alert and silently increased their intensity.

"Bang!"

An invisible Soul Fluctuation emanated from the point of impact, and a sudden gust of wind formed, howling in the air above the hall, causing a series of rustling sounds to echo within the hall.

A vast, Soul Pressure enveloped the entire hall. This feeling of dread, fear, and repression that emanated from the depths of one's soul could not dampen the overwhelming enthusiasm of the spectators.

Despite their frustration, the representatives of each faction craned their necks, widened their eyes, and watched intently as the battle unfolded within the red circle in the arena, a battle unlike Dou Qi.

Pure battles of the soul are now extremely rare in the Dou Qi Continent.

The fierce collision of souls caused the four people inside the red circle, excluding Xiao Ming, to tremble. Cao Ying and the other three, who were sitting cross-legged, were forcibly pushed back by varying distances and directly left the red circle!

Xiao Ming remained seated cross-legged, a calm smile on his face.

The outcome is now decided!

On the viewing platform, the representatives of those factions clicked their tongues in astonishment.

Wow! That's way too fast! They haven't even had enough yet. →

"Ahem, Mr. Xiao Ming is indeed exceptionally skilled. I concede defeat and thank you for showing mercy earlier."

In the arena, Cao Ying slowly stood up, a faint smile playing on her lips. Her phoenix eyes were fixed on Xiao Ming, her gaze intense, but the paleness on her face added a touch of tragic beauty to her appearance.

The Soul Power, a mysterious and profound thing, is no less dangerous than fighting with Dou Qi, and may even be more so. At present, Cao Ying and the others are only pale-faced, which means that Xiao Ming has not used his full strength.

Beside them, Dan Chen, who was also pale, straightened her clothes and stammered a thank you. The two people from the Bai and Qiu Families were in much worse condition, feeling dizzy but not saying anything.

"No need to thank me. It's just a competition, not a life-or-death battle," Xiao Ming said, standing up and waving to Elder Sheng.

"Elder Sheng, may we announce the assessment results now?"

Elder Sheng stepped forward, a smile on his face that said, "Just as I expected."

"Today's Five Great Clans Examination has successfully concluded. Based on the overall ranking of the three rounds of assessments, the first place Elder Xiao Ming representing the Ye Family, the second place Cao Ying from the Cao Family, the third place is Dan Chen from the Dan Family, and the fourth place is Bai Ying the Bai Family..."

Dan Chen and Cao Ying performed similarly, but Dan Chen scored a few points lower in the Soul Test, which is why she could only be ranked third.

After the assessment ended, the Bai Family and Qiu Family left dejectedly. Although they had both passed the assessment and were not in danger of being kicked out of the ranks of the Five Great Clans, their low rankings made them too ashamed to stay.

Some people, having lost their hopes of replacing the Ye Family, did not want to stay any longer and thus turned and left one after another.

Some forces that had previously had some connections with the Ye Family also began to greet the overjoyed Ye Zhong at this moment.

Although the Ye Family has declined, it still retains its position among the Five Great Clans. In the future, it will also retain a seat on the Dan Pill Tower Elder Seat. Its status may not be as high as the Cao Family's, but it is still beyond the reach of ordinary forces. Moreover, it seems that the other party is also related to Xiao Ming.

Ye Zhong responded to their greetings with a smile, but he didn't pay much attention to them. Having experienced those days of ruin and despair, Ye Zhong knew very well that strength was the only true asset.

After casually dealing with those people, Ye Zhong brought Xin Lan to Xiao Ming's side, where Xiao Ming was discussing some issues with Elder Sheng.

Upon seeing Ye Zhong, the two stopped talking. Elder Sheng turned to look at Ye Zhong, his eyes revealing a hint of reminiscence, and sighed:

"Congratulations! The Ye Family has been selected as one of the Five Great Clans. The Ye Family is fortunate to have met Elder Xiao Ming; we must seize this opportunity..."

Ye Zhong naturally heeded Elder Sheng's almost explicit words, and he couldn't help but praise himself for having Xin Lan and Xiao Ming study earlier.

Although Xiao Ming did not take Xin Lan as his disciple, he had still taught her, so there was bound to be some teacher-student relationship between them. Moreover, Xin Lan could learn a lot of knowledge, which would help revitalize the Ye Family.

"Many thanks to Elder Xiao Ming Ye Zhong. The Ye Family will never forget such a great kindness. Please feel free to ask for our assistance in the future."

Ye Zhong, there's no need to be so formal.

Xiao Ming helped the Ye Family because the Ye Family had previously helped him obtain the qualification to participate in the Elder Selection; it was a mutually beneficial arrangement.

Of course, the Ye Family will definitely earn more.

For the moment, Ye Zhong could only keep the matter to himself. Then he looked at Elder Sheng, his expression immediately softening, a grateful smile appearing on his face. He cupped his hands and said:

"I must also thank Elder Sheng for his care over the years; otherwise, my Ye Family would not be qualified to stand here. Ye Zhong will never forget this!"

Elder Sheng smiled nonchalantly and said, "We're all old friends, let's not talk about these things..."

"Thank you Elder Xiao Ming for showing mercy. Otherwise, my sister would have suffered serious injuries. The Dan Family will remember this kindness."

Suddenly, a gentle voice came from behind. Xiao Ming looked in the direction of the voice and saw a refined and handsome young man bowing and thanking him.

"Who are you?"

"Dan Family Dan Xuan".

Dan Xuan possessed an elegant and refined demeanor, easily winning people's favor. Xiao Ming's personality was also not unpleasant, so he simply shook his head and smiled.

"I already said there's no need to thank me, it's just a competition. Besides, didn't Dan Chen already thank me earlier?"

Upon hearing this, Dan Chen, who was hiding behind Dan Xuan, mustered up her courage and peeked out her cute little head. When she saw Xiao Ming's gaze sweep over her, a blush immediately appeared on her face. Like an ostrich, she shrank back and hid behind Dan Xuan.

"I'm sorry, my younger sister is a bit shy..." Dan Xuan said apologetically. After saying a few words, he smiled, cupped his hands in farewell, and left.

Then Cao Ying came over to say goodbye.

"Haha, he seems to be very popular with women!"

Elder Sheng watched Cao Ying leave, stroked his beard, and joked.

"Elder Xiao Ming is handsome and exceptionally talented, so it's not surprising that he receives such treatment!" Elder Ye Zhong said with some emotion.

Xiao Ming, nicknamed the Jade-faced Pill Master, is extremely popular with women, a fact well-known throughout the Pill Tower. In addition, his gentle personality also makes him quite popular among male Alchemist.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ming simply smiled and did not elaborate on the topic.

"Now that the assessment is over, let's go."

"Yes, I remember what I told you." Elder Sheng nodded, then, as if remembering something, gave a serious reminder.

"I will remember that."
