“That water ripple hairpin is not a flying treasure, is it? It should only be a defensive treasure. Yet this girl Ji Luoyu was able to use it for gliding, transforming defensive power into gliding power. Good. Sun Ran, your little disciple is not bad.”
Seeing Ji Luoyu’s performance, even Ji Qing, who rarely praised others, could not help but express admiration.
“Bloody hell, you old fellow are really shameless. Is that any way to praise your own granddaughter?”
The Changle Ancestor could not help but laugh and curse.
“So what if I praise her? Do you think her movement technique is poor?”
Ji Qing looked at Dan Changle and asked.
“Well, it is indeed good, but compared to Dan Qing, it is not much more outstanding. The movement techniques of these two should be the most exquisite among the alchemists participating in this alchemy conference.”
Dan Changle nodded.
“There you go.”
Ji Qing rolled his eyes at Dan Changle.
“I wonder how Ling Xiao will do?”
Sun Ran suddenly smiled.
“With his arrogant personality, he will probably want to show off even more.”
The Changle Ancestor shook his head. “Not necessarily. This young fellow is actually quite low-key usually. As long as no one provokes him, he generally does not draw much attention.”
Just as the Changle Ancestor said, Ling Xiao had no interest in performing movement techniques.
In his view, movement techniques were for combat.
Exposing them would mean losing an advantage in battle, which was definitely not a good thing.
So he simply jumped down casually.
The height here was not that great anyway. Even if he fell, with his physical constitution, he could not possibly die from it.
However, the instant he jumped, a sudden evil wind struck. His body suddenly lost control and began to accelerate in its fall.
In the judges’ seats, a cold smile appeared on Sun Ran’s lips.
“No need for that, Brother Sun. Why act like a child?”
Ji Qing frowned.
The evil wind just now had been released by Sun Ran.
“Brother Ji misunderstands. Since this young fellow is so low-key, I have to give him a chance to show off.”
Sun Ran said shamelessly.
The Changle Ancestor cursed this old thing’s shamelessness in his heart.
A few more traces of killing intent appeared in Moon Maiden’s eyes.
But she did not intervene to help Ling Xiao.
This was a minor matter. She had no need to act. If he could not even handle such a sudden situation, Ling Xiao would be far too incompetent and simply unworthy of being her man.
“Sun Ran, fuck your sister… female disciple! You ambushed me!”
Ling Xiao’s reaction instantly turned Sun Ran’s face iron-blue and extremely embarrassed.
He had not expected Ling Xiao to see through his ambush.
Even less had he expected Ling Xiao to curse out loud in front of so many people.
Everyone was dumbfounded. Ji Luoyu’s face turned even redder with embarrassment.
She was Sun Ran’s only female disciple. By saying that, was Ling Xiao not directly referring to her?
Yet strangely, she did not feel angry at all. Instead, she found it amusing.
Her fierce master finally seemed to have met his match. This Ling Xiao was far too bold. He dared to say anything. How impressive.
Ling Xiao had not thought that much. He had planned to simply jump down and be done with it. But with Sun Ran’s interference, he suddenly felt like a bird whose wings had been damaged by a strong wind. He instantly lost balance and plummeted headfirst.
Furious, he cursed out loud.
Only midway did he realise Sun Ran’s sister was probably very old, so he switched to “female disciple”.
Though Ji Luoyu was a bit arrogant, her looks were quite good. It was barely acceptable.
While cursing, Ling Xiao did not try to control his body. He let it fall freely, head aimed straight at the hard bluestone slabs.
Though many warriors knew that with Celestial Realm cultivation, one would not die even from landing headfirst, it would still be quite embarrassing.
Ling Xiao had truly been badly schemed against by Sun Ran today.
Dan Qing revealed a gloating expression.
Feng Ming Piaoxue covered her mouth and stood up.
Ji Luoyu wanted to go help.
Countless spectators fixed their gazes unsparingly on this upside-down diver, eager to see his outcome.
In contrast, Moon Maiden, Leng Mei, and Princess Yun Ya, who were close to Ling Xiao, remained completely calm.
It was as if the one about to make a fool of himself was not their loved one or friend Ling Xiao, but a stranger.
That was why the people who understood Ling Xiao best were them.
Others had too little contact with him and understood him too little.
Though Ling Xiao disliked standing out, he also had no desire to make a fool of himself.
Just as countless people watched Ling Xiao’s head about to make intimate contact with the ground,
suddenly, an astonishing scene unfolded.
From the originally empty ground, countless eerie white bones suddenly extended.
In an instant, these bones connected one after another, controlling the speed of Ling Xiao’s fall and swiftly forming a strange white bone throne.
The bones corrected Ling Xiao’s body, allowing him to sit firmly upon it, like a king of white bones.
In that moment, Ling Xiao still did not use his own movement technique or the black and white wings. Instead, he chose the Divine Tomb Eye.
The Divine Tomb Eye contained far too many white bones. Extending them one by one was always enough to slow his rapid descent.
“Such powerful soul force! Such a terrifying soul secret art! How does this kid have this ability? Even many Cave Heaven realm warriors could not achieve this.”
Seeing this, Ji Qing could no longer remain calm. His praise was even more effusive than when he praised his own granddaughter Ji Luoyu.
“I am surprised too. I heard Ling Xiao could condense black and white wings. I thought he would fly up, but I never expected this!”
The Changle Ancestor could not help but mutter in astonishment.
White Bone Throne!
It was truly impressive!
Sun Ran had intended to make Ling Xiao look foolish, but instead forced him to steal the spotlight greatly under the gaze of over a hundred thousand people.
When Medicine King Sun Ran was on the White Tiger Continent, he had never suffered such humiliation. Yet today, here on the small Divine Phoenix Continent, he had been played by a young fellow.
And he was at a disadvantage everywhere.
The white bone throne slowly descended. Ling Xiao stepped onto the ground, right in front of his own alchemy platform.
“Sigh, this was not my intention!”
He truly did not want to stand out, yet now he had unexpectedly stolen all the attention.
In mid-air, he had thought of many ways to neither stand out nor embarrass himself, directly ruling out the black and white wings and movement techniques.
But things had still gone against his wishes.
“Whoa~~!”
Cheers and applause instantly erupted into a thunderous roar.
“Bloody hell, that was too cool!”
“Ling Xiao, I love you!”
“I am in love with you!”
“Awesome!”
Screams, cheers, and applause converged like raging waves on the ocean, resounding through the heavens.
This move by Ling Xiao was simply a powerful way to attract fans. Unfortunately, how many people knew that he had never intended to use it to gain fans?
If he had a choice, he would rather keep a low profile.
