Chapter 427 Soul Control

Xiao Ling withdrew his palm, put it behind his back, and then nodded to Elder Sheng, with a faint smile on his lips and a very casual expression, as if the scene that shocked everyone just now was just a simple act. Just a trivial thing.

Elder Sheng looked at Xiao Ling's figure with ardent eyes, and sighed secretly in his heart. This is definitely a top genius who is even more evil than Cao Ying and Dan Chen. If he can join Danta, he will definitely be one of the candidates for the giants.

"Haha, everything is clear. The first place in this soul test is Xiao Ling, the representative of the Ye family. He broke the old record and set a new record. I believe no one can break this record in the future..."

Finally, Elder Sheng said with emotion. In his opinion, even the most talented descendants of the Cao family and the Dan family over the past century cannot surpass Xiao Ling. Who can surpass him in the future?

Moreover, Xiao Ling's move not only surpassed the previous record, but also exceeded it by not just a tiny bit, but almost reached 4,000 points.

For the ordinary younger generation, those with extraordinary talents, it would be pretty good if they could reach seven or eight hundred. The gap was so huge that those who came later didn't even think about it at all.

Everyone around, whether they were the elders in the seats of the Wufang family or the ordinary spectators in the audience, no matter what thoughts and emotions they had in their hearts, they all nodded in agreement.

Their faces showed recognition, and their eyes showed deep admiration for Xiao Ling's strength. They obviously recognized Elder Sheng's statement.

Seeing this, Elder Sheng showed a happy smile on his face. He looked around and saw everyone nodding, knowing in his heart that everyone had accepted the result. Elder Sheng was also happy for the Ye family. After all, the Ye family's elder seat was finally saved.

In this assessment, the Ye family stabilized the situation because of Xiao Ling's outstanding performance. Elder Sheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The Ye family was really lucky. It would be natural for them to catch up with this evildoer and return to the top in the future...

Although the strength gap between everyone can be roughly distinguished from the first link. However, now that the rules have been set, the next assessment must continue.

After the scene calmed down, Elder Sheng quickly entered the next stage of the assessment without too much delay.

"The next test is called soul control..." Elder Sheng looked at Xiao Ling and the other five people with a smile, and then slowly took out a jet black iron bead from the ring.

The surface of this iron bead is extremely smooth, and it looks completely dull. Its dark appearance gives people an extremely heavy feeling.

Seeing that everyone was looking at them, Elder Sheng introduced them slowly: "This is a bead made of soul steel, called a soul-testing bead. If you use this kind of thing to hold it with your hands, It may seem very light, but to the soul, it is as heavy as a thousand pounds..."

"The test rules for soul manipulation are very simple. After the test officially begins, a large number of soul-measuring beads will fall from the ceiling."

"What you have to do is not to use fighting energy throughout the whole process, and can only rely solely on your own soul power to catch those soul-measuring beads."

"In the end, whoever successfully catches the most soul-testing beads will be ranked first in this assessment, and so on to determine everyone's ranking."

Speaking of this, Elder Sheng paused slightly, then glanced in Cao Ying's direction, and said with a smile: "This record of the soul control test was created by Cao Ying. She once took over 89 A soul-testing bead.”

"But I am afraid that today's record will be broken like before. But, who will break this record? What new heights can it reach? It all depends on you guys. played.”

Having said that, Elder Sheng glanced meaningfully in Xiao Ling's direction. Obviously, deep down in his heart, he felt that this record would most likely be broken by Xiao Ling again.

The onlookers around him all turned their attention to Xiao Ling, their eyes full of expectation. They all seemed to be expecting this peerless monster who had just created astonishing results to once again perform amazingly in the next assessment.

Seeing that the limelight was taken away by Xiao Ling, Cao Ying curled her lips in dissatisfaction. She covered her mouth and chuckled, squinted her eyes, full of charm, and said slowly,

"Since Xiao Ling is an eighth-grade medicine refining master, his soul power is also very powerful. I just don't know how far you have mastered the soul power!"

Xiao Ling casually glanced at this fairy-like woman, clasped her hands behind her back, and chuckled. Although her tone seemed very casual, there was no hint of politeness in it: "Don't worry, Miss Cao Ying. I will take the test that I have mastered." There are definitely more soul beads than you."

After hearing this, Cao Ying felt a little annoyed, but the expression on her face did not change at all. She smiled sweetly and said, "Giggle~, let's have a good comparison."

Elder Sheng looked at these young people mingling together and chuckled while stroking his beard. As he gets older, he likes to see talented people emerge in large numbers among the younger generations.

"A little reminder to you, don't try to catch too many soul-testing beads at once and disperse the soul power. In this kind of assessment, this is the most stupid behavior!" Elder Sheng said casually with a smile. .

After everyone heard this, their faces gradually became serious. It was obvious that everyone was ready.

Seeing this, Elder Sheng nodded slightly, and then said, "It seems that everything is ready, so..." Before he finished speaking, his figure had already flashed away from the square, and the rest of the words came slowly, "... the test begins!"

When Elder Sheng's voice just fell, at this moment, a "click" sound was heard from the ceiling above the hall, revealing dense black holes.

In a flash, the overwhelming black shadows poured down from the ceiling like a rainstorm.

At the same time when the black shadows poured down like a rain curtain, Xiao Ling and others almost reflexively moved away quickly, keeping a certain distance from each other.

Then, several powerful soul powers surged out and attacked the falling soul-testing beads.

Including Cao Ying and Dan Chen, the other four people were extremely focused at this moment. Faced with such a test method, none of them dared to be arrogant.

Xiao Ling was completely different from the other four people. He seemed very casual. He had reached the Great Perfection of the Spirit Realm, and he had a great advantage in this aspect, which was incomparable to the other four people.

Moreover, Xiao Ling also practiced the art of splitting the spirit from the "Dayan Jue", and had an advantage far beyond ordinary people in multitasking.

With such conditions, Xiao Ling had a natural advantage in this round of tests.

If Xiao Ling really had an idea, he could bring all the soul-testing beads under his control at any time as long as he exerted all his strength.

However, in order to save some face for others and to hide his own strength, Xiao Ling did not intend to do so.

Therefore, he chose a more low-key way to moderately exert his soul power in the test, so as not to stand out too much and to ensure that he had a good performance in the assessment.

As Xiao Ling's mind moved, the vast soul power surged out from his eyebrows and instantly turned into two pairs of illusory soul hands. At this time, Xiao Ling's eyes were like lightning, staring closely at the rapidly falling black shadows.

Aiming at a rapidly falling black shadow, one of the soul hands flashed out like lightning, and two fingers twisted flexibly, immediately clamping a black soul-detecting bead.

"This effect is quite interesting. It is indeed as Elder Sheng said before, it actually makes the soul power slightly stagnant, but it's okay, it doesn't affect me much..." With a soul-detecting bead in his hand as a reference, Xiao Ling was already confident about grabbing the soul-detecting bead.

His eyes slightly condensed, aiming at the black shadow falling from the air, and the four soul hands moved at the same time, flashing out frequently.

Although in the eyes of the other spectators, Xiao Ling's actions were the most efficient among the crowd. However, this was also the result that Xiao Ling had worked hard to achieve. At this time, he had other thoughts to watch the reactions of other contestants.

While controlling the soul hand to quickly grab the soul-detecting bead, Xiao Ling used his peripheral vision to pay attention to the reactions of other people around him.

Bai Ying and Qiu Ji were the most embarrassed. They almost ran away in the shadows, and then received the soul-testing beads one by one. Their flustered appearance made people laugh. From the anxious expressions on their faces, it can be seen that they were obviously very tired of this test method.

Compared with Bai Ying and Qiu Ji, Cao Ying and Dan Chen, two people whose soul power has broken through the spiritual realm, seemed much more calm when dealing with these soul-testing beads.

Cao Ying had an elegant posture, slightly raised her head, and stared at the falling shadows with focused eyes. She raised her jade hand lightly, and the soul power surged out like silk, accurately catching the soul-testing beads one by one, with gentle and smooth movements, as if dancing a graceful dance.

Dan Chen had a calm expression, moved lightly, and her hands were like a smart butterfly, skillfully collecting the soul-testing beads.

Their performance attracted the attention of many people present, especially Cao Ying, who made the onlookers around look in her direction.

Her graceful figure and focused expression seemed to have a unique charm that was captivating. Many men present were attracted by her demeanor and followed her every move closely.

Dan Chen was also very beautiful, and her soft and weak appearance added a bit of men's desire to protect her from the bottom of their hearts. However, she was still young at this time and needed time to grow up, which was not as charming as Cao Ying.

As time passed, more and more soul-testing beads were taken, which was a huge test for everyone's soul power. Bai Ying and Qiu Ji were soon overwhelmed and retreated tiredly.

The number of soul-testing beads suspended in front of the two was forty-three and forty-one respectively. Bai Ying's score was second to last, and Qiu Ji was last.

Both of them showed tired and helpless expressions on their faces, and it was obvious that they had tried their best in this test.

At this time, only Xiao Ling, Cao Ying, and Dan Chen were still continuing the test. However, after the previous consumption, Cao Ying and Dan Chen also felt a little tired.

But Xiao Ling was still as calm as ever, as if the previous consumption that seemed serious to others was not worth mentioning at all.

He still had a faint confident smile on his face, his eyes kept turning, always observing the soul-detecting beads that kept falling, his hands flexibly controlling the soul power, and continued to easily grab the soul-detecting beads.

In contrast, Cao Ying and Dan Chen's movements were slightly slower, and beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads, but they still persisted.

At this time, Cao Ying and Dan Chen had already opened up a big gap with Xiao Ling. They knew that they could not catch up with Xiao Ling, but they also wanted to fight for themselves, strive to surpass the other party, and maintain the family's face in front of outsiders.

Cao Ying gritted her teeth and focused more on controlling her soul power, trying to speed up the speed of absorbing the soul-testing beads. Dan Chen was not to be outdone. She frowned slightly and concentrated on dealing with the soul-testing beads that kept falling.

After persisting for a few more minutes, the young Dan Chen was the first to give up. She bit her lips, showed an unwilling expression on her face, and slowly retreated.

As she withdrew, the soul-testing beads lost the control of the soul power, and the soul-testing beads fell to the ground one by one.

After a careful count, the number of soul-testing beads was as high as 166. This result has broken the record left by Cao Ying before, which is indeed quite good.

Unfortunately, the opponent was too strong this time, so Dan Chen could not get a good ranking in the end and could only be ranked third.

Soon after, Cao Ying also reached her limit. She looked at Xiao Ling beside her helplessly and shook her head gently.

She had heard from her master before that Xiao Ling had a talent for multitasking, so at the beginning of this written test, she knew that Xiao Ling would have a great advantage and her chance of winning was very small.

But she didn't expect that the gap between the two would be so big, much larger than the numerical gap measured in the first round. This made Cao Ying admire Xiao Ling and feel a little helpless.

In front of Cao Ying, soul-testing beads fell to the ground one by one. After counting, there were 185 soul-testing beads, nearly 20 more than Dan Chen.

Cao Ying's results were also quite outstanding, but it was a pity that Xiao Ling's performance in this competition was too outstanding, making her results seem less dazzling.

Xiao Ling, who was not far away, saw that both women had withdrawn from the competition, and he immediately lost interest in continuing the operation. With a thought, he withdrew the soul power he had released.

As Xiao Ling made this move, he could only hear the sound of "bang bang bang" continuously, and soul-testing beads fell to the ground one by one. The sound came one after another, like a rapid drum performance.

The soul-testing beads rolled to the ground, some collided with each other, making crisp sounds, and some bounced on the ground a few times before they quieted down.

Even without using the naked eye to see, just based on the movement caused by Xiao Ling's beads falling to the ground, it can be inferred how large the number of soul-testing beads Xiao Ling controlled this time.

When Elder Sheng glanced at the densely packed soul-testing beads, his pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly, and he exclaimed: "This... This is five hundred and twenty-one!"

Elder Sheng's face was full of shock. He obviously didn't expect Xiao Ling to be able to control so many soul-testing beads. His eyes were fixed on the soul-testing beads on the ground, and he had a new understanding of Xiao Ling's strength.

When the people around heard Elder Sheng's exclamation, they all showed surprised expressions, and their eyes looking at Xiao Ling were full of admiration and amazement.

The number of soul-testing beads controlled by Cao Ying and Dan Chen had not exceeded 200, while Xiao Ling's number was directly running towards more than 500. This was really beyond everyone's imagination.

Everyone looked at the pile of soul-testing beads in front of Xiao Ling, and their faces were full of shock. They could not imagine how Xiao Ling could control so many soul-testing beads in such a short time.

Facing these different looks, Xiao Ling just smiled indifferently. He gently waved his sleeves and tidied up his wrinkled robes, looking relaxed and carefree.

Xiao Ling turned his sight and met Cao Ying's eyes full of complexity.

"Hehe, I just have more talent than ordinary people in soul control and multitasking. I just happened to have some advantages in this competition." Xiao Ling said with a smile.

Immediately, he changed the subject, raised his eyebrows, and said with interest: "However, what I said before must be better than you. Now it seems that this time it has indeed come true."

Meeting Xiao Ling's eyes, Cao Ying curled her lips helplessly, glared at Xiao Ling fiercely, and then looked away.

When the scene gradually calmed down, Elder Sheng announced again,

"For the second item, Xiao Ling still maintains the first place, Cao Ying is second, Dan Chen is third..."

Hearing Elder Sheng's announcement in the field, Ye Zhong and Xin Lan, who were sitting in the Ye family seat, smiled more and more.

Xiao Ling's performance, from beginning to end, undoubtedly showed the power of an eighth-grade alchemist.

In this assessment of the five major families, Xiao Ling let them know what it means to be the best.

In the field, Elder Sheng stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Soul power is the foundation of alchemists. However, our assessment this time not only tests the soul, but also shows the aggressiveness of the soul. After all, this is also one of the good attack methods of alchemists."

"The final assessment is very simple. The five of you enter this circle and use soul power to fight each other. Whoever can stay in the circle at the end is the winner." Elder Sheng pointed to a red circle in the field that was ten feet wide and explained with a smile.

After listening, several people nodded to Elder Sheng.

Seeing that everyone understood the rules of the assessment, Elder Sheng didn't say anything more. He pointed to the red circle in the field and smiled and said: "Since there are no problems, then enter the field."
