Chapter 380: Conclusion of the Assessment

Like Bai Yang and the Qiu Clan member, Xiao Ming chose not to utilize his soul skills. Instead, he allowed his soul power to surge from his brow, transforming into a large hand that fiercely slapped towards the soul powers of the other four participants.

Although Xiao Ming appeared casual, Cao Ying and the others felt an overwhelming sense of imminent danger and silently increased their strength.

Boom!

The collision of invisible soul fluctuations created a powerful gust of wind that howled in the middle of the hall, causing a series of rustling sounds.

The vast soul pressure covered the entire hall, evoking fear, dread, and oppression from the depths of the spectators' souls. However, the intensity of the moment only fueled the enthusiasm of the onlookers.

Representatives from various forces stretched their necks and widened their eyes, focusing intently on the battle scene within the red circle, which was different from the battles of Dou Qi.

Pure soul battles had become extremely rare on the current Dou Qi Continent.

The fierce collision of souls caused the bodies of the four individuals within the red circle, excluding Xiao Ming, to tremble. Cao Ying and the others, who were sitting cross-legged, were forcibly pushed back varying distances, directly leaving the red circle!

Xiao Ming remained seated in his original position, his face displaying a calm smile.

At this moment, victory and defeat had been decided!

On the spectator's platform, the representatives of various forces were left speechless.

Fast! It was too fast! They didn't get to see enough yet...

...

"Are you all right?" Xiao Ming asked, extending his hand towards the delicate figure who was still seated.

Cao Ying coughed weakly before responding, "Cough, cough. Mhm, I'll be fine. You held back your strength at the last moment, didn't you...? Xiao Ming, you're truly outstanding. Thank you for indulging me in this petty game of mine..." She accepted his hand and slowly rose to her feet. Her lips curved into a slight smile, and her phoenix eyes locked onto him with an intense gaze. The pallor on her face added a fragile and captivating touch to her beauty.

"You don't need to be too formal, Elder Ye," Xiao Ming replied. He was willing to help the Ye Clan because they had helped him obtain the qualification to participate in the Great Elder Selection Contest, making it a mutually beneficial arrangement.

Of course, the Ye Clan would undoubtedly benefit more from this association.

Ye Zhong remembered Xiao Ming's kindness in his heart. Then, looking at Elder Sheng with a sense of relief, he clasped his hands and expressed his gratitude, "I also want to thank Elder Sheng for taking care of us all these years. Without your support, the Ye Clan wouldn't have had the qualification to stand here. This old man will never forget it!"

Elder Sheng chuckled nonchalantly. "We're old friends, no need to mention these things."

"Thank you, Elder Xiao Ming, for showing mercy. Otherwise, my sister would have suffered severe injuries. Our Dan Clan will remember this favor," a gentle voice sounded, and Xiao Ming turned to see a refined and handsome young man bowing in gratitude.

"And you are?" Xiao Ming inquired.

"I am Dan Xuan from the Dan Clan," the young man introduced himself, exuding an extraordinary and refined temperament that easily garnered favorable impressions. Xiao Ming also had a good character, so he just shook his head and smiled.

"You don't need to thank me. My partners care for her deeply, so how could I not take care of her? Besides, didn't Dan Chen already express her gratitude before?"

Dan Chen, who had been hiding behind her brother Dan Xuan, gathered her courage and peeked out, making eye contact with Xiao Ming. The sight of him caused her cheeks to flush instantly, and she hastily hid behind Dan Xuan, resembling an ostrich burying its head in the sand.

"I'm sorry, Elder Xiao Ming. My sister is a bit shy..." Dan Xuan apologized with a hint of remorse. After exchanging a few more words, he bid farewell with a smile, guiding Dan Chen away.

Cao Ying then approached, but seeing that Xiao Ming was occupied, their conversation was kept brief. She informed him of some matters he had to take care of at headquarters and then bid him farewell.

"Haha, it seems Elder Xiao Ming is quite popular among women!" Elder Sheng stroked his beard and teased, observing the interactions.

"Elder Xiao Ming is handsome and exceptionally talented. It's not surprising to receive such attention!" Elder Ye Zhong remarked with a touch of emotion.

Xiao Ming, known as the Dazzling Visage Alchemy Ancestor, was highly popular among women in the Pill Tower, a well-known fact. Coupled with his gentle character, he also had a certain level of popularity among male alchemists.

Xiao Ming simply smiled, not interested in discussing his private life.

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