Song Ling remained silent for a long time, then put down his teacup and did not ask any further questions.
On the high platform, Elder Meng withdrew his gaze from the light screen and landed on Song Tiancheng, then on Han Xuanji, a meaningful glint flashing in his eyes.
With his cultivation level, he could naturally know about the subtle actions between Song Ling and Song Tiancheng.
Although he didn't eavesdrop on the content of the telepathic communication, he guessed something from Song Tiancheng's reaction.
"Not bad, not bad."
Elder Meng picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and already had his answer in his heart.
He really struck gold this time he came to Thousand Souls City.
When the time comes, we must get Han Xuanji to join the Great Dao Society; he can be a guide for a future great power.
As Elder Meng was happily lost in thought, he was completely unaware that in a corner of the stands, a figure was also nodding slightly and smiling.
The world reflected in the mirror.
Han Xuanji returned to her private space, her expression calm.
I carefully reviewed the lessons learned from the battle in my mind.
Although Song Tiancheng's Heavenly Net Dao Domain only had four levels, the concepts within it greatly benefited him.
However, he was not in a hurry to try it; these things cannot be rushed and require slow deduction and repeated refinement.
He knew that his behavior just now would inevitably arouse the curiosity and speculation of many people.
But as long as Song Tiancheng doesn't say anything, ordinary people shouldn't be able to tell.
This was also something he did intentionally; if possible, Han Xuanji would still prefer to keep a low profile.
This performance is already attractive enough; there's no need for him to continue displaying himself like a peacock spreading its tail feathers.
He suppressed the thought for the moment and turned his gaze to the semi-transparent light screen above the independent space.
There, Xiao Yan and Shi Ziyun shone brightly.
Although he couldn't see the specific details, he could guess that the two were still locked in fierce combat.
Shi Ziyun is one of the few female cultivators among the Heavenly-level seeds. Her ability to reach the top four is not due to luck.
Han Xuanji had previously investigated his background. This person's Dao Principles leaned towards the fusion of ice and Spacetime Dao Principle, making him agile and adept at both offense and defense.
According to his estimation, Shi Ziyun's overall combat strength is probably no less than Ling Cang's.
There will be no weaklings among the cultivators who manage to break through the encirclement in this Principle Conference.
But in the eyes of outsiders...
Within the light screen, two figures clashed and intersected on a body of water.
Xiao Yan's sword light was sharp, and each strike carried the sound of air being cut.
Shi Ziyun's Movement Method were ethereal, leaving afterimages on the water's surface, thus avoiding most of the attacks.
The water surface shattered repeatedly under the impact of the two forces, splashing water like rain, which was then evaporated into white mist by spiritual energy, enveloping the entire battlefield.
The two had been fighting for quite some time. Xiao Yan's robes had several tears, and Shi Ziyun's hair was somewhat disheveled, indicating that they had both suffered considerable exhaustion.
Wang Chong watched quietly, without much emotional fluctuation.
He could see that although Xiao Yan did not have an absolute advantage for the time being, his Sword Intent was still sharp and showed no signs of weakness.
Although Shi Ziyun is agile, her Dao Principles are consumed more than Xiao Yan's, and the longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for her.
The key to victory lies in whether Shi Ziyun can deliver a decisive blow.
Within the light screen, Shi Ziyun suddenly sheathed her sword and retreated dozens of feet, creating some distance between herself and the enemy.
A glint flashed in her eyes, a sign that her spiritual power and the Dao Principles had been pushed to their limits.
Xiao Yan noticed her change, paused, steadied himself on the water, and watched her warily.
Shi Ziyun did not speak, but slowly raised the long sword in her hand, the tip of the sword pointing to the sky.
An invisible, powerful will emanated from him, piercing through the white mist that filled the water and soaring into the sky.
That will contains immense power.
"This is Sage- level Secret Method."
Xiao Yan's pupils contracted slightly. He could sense that the power contained in that sword strike far exceeded the power that Eternal Dao Master should possess.
Is it really not that easy?
Xiao Yan gritted his teeth, channeled all his spiritual power, and a crimson-gold light exploded in his hand.
The light, which was initially only the size of a fist, expanded to tens of feet in an instant, completely enveloping him.
Behind him, a Celestial Person appeared.
The phantom of the Saint King!
Xiao Yan finally used a trump card he had never used before: his bloodline will awakened, and this pressure directly shattered Shi Ziyun's Secret Method.
Then Xiao Yan took a step forward, clenched his right hand in mid-air, and concentrated his power at a single point.
A figure flashed by.
The next second.
Shi Ziyun was struck by this move and turned into white light, disappearing from the mirror world.
That concludes the discussion.
The finalists have been selected.
Han Xuanji watched as Shi Ziyun's name dimmed on the light screen while Xiao Yan's name remained lit, and a slight smile curved his lips.
It seems that Xiao Yan's strength should not be underestimated. Just like in the simulation, even though there were many strong opponents in this tournament, they still made it to the end.
Fate was not changed.
outside world.
Seeing this scene, many people had very mixed feelings.
"This year's finals are actually between two seeds from prefecture-level cities?"
"Is this the first time such a situation has occurred in the history of the Principle Conference?"
But that's just talk; no one would think that Han Xuanji and Xiao Yan are unworthy of playing in this final.
There was no luck involved; both players reached the finals solely through their own superior skills.
"I'm really looking forward to their duel. Did anyone understand the move Yan Xiao used at the end?"
"I don't understand, but it seems very impressive."
"I don't know what techniques Yan Xiao used, but Shi Ziyun used Sage's secret technique..."
Someone mentioned it, and it immediately sparked a frenzy of discussion.
This means that the methods Yan Xiao used were even more powerful than the secret techniques of Sage.
In the stands.
Wang Chong nodded secretly; he was naturally aware of all of Xiao Yan's methods.
"Being able to use this trick shows you've grown up..."
In the past, Xiao Yan had been somewhat resistant to using this power he was born with, rejecting it as an external force. But now, he seems to have made peace with himself.
" The Saint King Bloodline is also part of your power..."
Wang Chong was very pleased. Xiao Yan was an unparalleled genius. If he could get out of this dead end, he would surely reach even greater heights.
However, in that case...
It seems Han Xuanji's victory isn't guaranteed either?
He knew all too well how unreasonable Xiao Yan's power was.
On the other side, Xiao Yan appeared in the private space and let out a long breath.
In that battle just now, he also used a trump card that he originally didn't want to use to defeat Shi Ziyun.
If the opponent successfully uses Sage's Secret Method and then strikes with a single sword strike, the outcome is still uncertain.
But he had no time to savor the taste of victory; his gaze immediately turned to the light screen.
Shi Ziyun was eliminated, Song Tiancheng was eliminated...
The two names still lit up were his and Han Xuanji's.
Xiao Yan looked at that familiar name, an indescribable emotion suddenly welled up in his heart.
"Brother Han, we did it."
Xiao Yan murmured to himself, his voice so soft that only he could hear it.
None of the opponents in this Principle Conference are weak; each one requires the utmost effort to defeat.
He fought with all his might to reach the finals and won with great difficulty.
Han Xuanji must have gone through countless hardships to get to this point, just like him!
Despite being underestimated by everyone along the way, they made it to the finals!
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan felt a surge of pride welling up inside him.
Regardless, he wants to win everything!
