Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Flame of Twine
After most of the day, Jiang Xiaofeng finally recovered from his demented expression.
The reason why he didn't rush to control the flames, but went to observe the other teenagers, was because he felt that this was a very good learning opportunity.
Normally, the most he would do was to watch how the old monsters did alchemy, but now that there are so many people together to control the flames, it is a valuable wealth and experience for him, after all, it is very important to learn alchemy and gather the strengths of all families.
He wrote down the way those teenagers sealed and the skills of controlling the flames just now, and he had to digest them well when he went back.
Just when Jiang Xiaofeng was thinking about igniting the fire crystal in front of the seat, all the masters on the stage suddenly came with a sense of restlessness:
"Look, that's Elder Tu's apprentice, in such a short period of time, he has suppressed the flames into such a small cluster. The accuracy of his control of spiritual power really embarrassed the old man, presumably he would be able to light up a lotus flower in no time. ”
It was the long-faced old man who patted the sycophants, and he couldn't hide his sycophancy between the words. After hearing this, Old Demon Slayer's chest straightened even more, and he grinned:
"Haha, Elder Zhao is exaggerating, you apprentice, I think he is also good, he is a manufacturable material. ”
"Where and where, compared to your apprentice, I'm still far behind this fool, this time I brought him to participate in the Dan Dao Conference, I didn't want him to fight for anything for me, just to take him to see and let him know that there are mountain people outside the mountain. ”
Tu Chengxiu and Zhao An complimented each other, and Jiang Xiaofeng on the side was disgusted for a while, but at this moment, a disagreeable word reached his ears:
"Elder Zhao, don't be modest, how can you be better than that fool, you see him looking around, he doesn't look like an alchemist, your apprentice is really lucky to draw such an opponent. ”
"Hahaha......"
Then the two of them laughed, and the color of mockery was overflowing. Wan Lao Wei was so angry that the roots of his teeth itched, and he wanted to brush his sleeves away on the spot, but Jiang Xiaofeng, who was sitting on the ground, didn't care at all, and smiled at Wan Lao Monster and said:
"Wan Lao Wei, you said that if I win, then the apprentice trained by this old guy is not even as good as a fool, so what do you say we should call him?"
"Trash, stupid pig, it's not an exaggeration. ”
Wan Lao Wei had long wanted to scold, and after listening to Jiang Xiaofeng's words, he hurriedly spit out the evil anger in his chest.
"Okay, then I'm going to give you a fight for the face today, so you can see how stupid they are. ”
Jiang Xiaofeng still looked like a child, and he didn't think so at all, and when all the teenagers were in a hurry to urge the fire to light up the lotus, he was not in a hurry at all.
"Presumptuous!"
"Arrogance!"
Zhao An and Tu Chengxiu almost blurted out, if it weren't for the scene, they would have slapped him to death on the spot.
The corners of Jiang Xiaofeng's mouth rose, he smiled slyly, and then pinched out a magic trick with one hand, only to see that the fire crystal in front of the seat was instantly lit up.
"Uh...... What kind of exercise did this kid use? Instantly light up a fire crystal, and only we, the old guy, who have been cultivating for an unknown number of years, can do it, how did he light it up with one hand just now?"
Ding He, who had not spoken, couldn't sit still for a while the moment he saw Jiang Xiaofeng light up the fire crystal just now. The young men who were talented all took a while to use their spiritual power to ignite the fire crystal, and Jiang Xiaofeng, this kid, actually ignited it in an instant.
Master Yan on the side took a deep breath, and there was no ripple on his face, as if Jiang Xiaofeng's hand just now was not surprised. And Tu Chengxiu and Zhao An began to get a little nervous.
But soon they stabilized their minds, after all, this competition is about the ability to control the flames, he can just quickly ignite the fire crystal, maybe he just practiced a more special exercise, so thinking about it, the two of them are also a little at ease.
As the flames rose, Jiang Xiaofeng suddenly yawned, patted his mouth with his hand, and lay down obliquely, looking drowsy:
"Pretending to be a ghost, I don't know why. Does this fool understand the rules!"
Zhao An saw Jiang Xiaofeng like this, and then thought that he was competing with his own apprentices, which was obviously looking down on their Zhao family, and couldn't help but be even more angry.
"This kid really doesn't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and he dares to hold it up so much in front of us, and when the competition is over, he has to make him suffer something. ”
Old Demon Slayer also helped on the side.
At this moment, two lotus flowers suddenly lit up on the field, and if you look closely, it is Master Yan's apprentice and the apprentice of the old demon slayer, and the two of them actually lit up a fire lotus at the same time in no particular order.
"Congratulations to Master Yan, congratulations to Master Yan, it seems that your apprentice is really a talented and intelligent person, and he has lit up a red lotus in such a short time. ”
"Brother Ding has won the award, my apprentice's talent is just acceptable, and he has only reached this level after following me for such a long time, but Elder Tu's apprentice is impressive, he has not been practicing alchemy for a long time, but he has made rapid progress, which makes the old man embarrassed. ”
Old Demon Slayer sat aside, his face full of pride and arrogance.
The apprentice in the audience is his illegitimate son, but he is known as a nephew to the outside world. For this apprentice and son, Tu Lao Mo almost gave it to him, and the Tu family no longer knew how many resources had been poured into him:
"I'm an apprentice, not to mention anything else, this comprehension ability is really far beyond ordinary people, and I didn't expect it to be where I am today in just five years. ”
Unexpectedly, Old Demon Tu was not polite at all, so he accepted Master Yan's praise and spread more rumors that he was arrogant, so it can be seen.
Ding He is the alchemist of the Xing family, the Xing family has always been low-key and forbearing, and the relationship with the Tu family is not good.
However, now the alchemist of the Ouyang family, Xi Changlao, couldn't sit still, because the female apprentice she valued very much, at this moment, she hadn't even reached the height of the hexagonal prism, and she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on her forehead.
After all, this time her apprentice's opponent is the old demon slaughter, and the nervousness is inevitable, the old demon is crazy, but his apprentice's fire control technique is indeed much more powerful than other teenagers, and everyone is looking at it.
Wan Lao Wei completely lost the heart to win at this time, he never thought that Jiang Xiaofeng was so unbearable, after such a long time, he only lit the Danhuo, and the lotus flower on the hexagonal prism had never been touched.
"Master, is it better to light up those lotus flowers to win?" Jiang Xiaofeng suddenly asked with a simple face.
With a "poof", Wan Lao Wei spit out the tea in his mouth all over the ground, and scolded in his heart:
You little rabbit cub, the competition has started half a pillar of incense, and you haven't remembered the rules of the competition?
And the old demon Tu and Zhao An on the side laughed weirdly, but they didn't expect this kid to be a fool, and the rules of the competition haven't been figured out yet.
Wan Lao Monster roared angrily:
"Are you here to embarrass me? If not, get out of here. ”
Seeing that Wan Lao Wei was completely angry, Jiang Xiaofeng pouted helplessly. Thinking that it was almost time at this time, he began to put away his playfulness and try it seriously, after all, there was not much time left for him.
Jiang Xiaofeng slowly closed his eyes, and to outsiders, it seemed as if he was asleep, but in fact, in the sea of consciousness in his mind, a cloud of ghost light was suddenly lit up, and at this moment, Jiang Xiaofeng finally ran the ancient method.
Controlling the flames is such a small thing, isn't it easy for him to catch it?
I saw him stretch out his index finger and gently hook his finger towards the flame in front of him, and the originally faint flame suddenly burned wildly.
He bent his fingers up again, and the vigorous flames, as if they had received some orders, began to condense towards the center of the flames, and after a short time, the flames condensed into the thickness of hemp rope, and if others did not look carefully, it seemed that it was really like a golden hemp rope fluttering in the wind.
"What?"
Yan Shi was shocked, how did this kid do it, he was able to condense and compress the flames to such an extent, so what kind of realm did he achieve in terms of his control over the aura of heaven and earth.
The eyes of everyone on the field were attracted by Jiang Xiaofeng's actions at this time, and even the arrogant Old Demon Slayer was also surprised at this time.
How is this possible? The flames can still be compressed like this? How did he do it, could it be that he has cultivated special exercises to control the flames? Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what this kid had done.
This is really not a difficult thing for Jiang Xiaofeng. Cultivating the ancient method, although you can't increase your cultivation, you can help yourself mobilize the aura of heaven and earth through the power of perception. He had just extracted all the spiritual power around the flames and condensed them all, and the flames naturally condensed into a hemp rope.
At this moment, Jiang Xiaofeng flicked his fingers again, and the flame hemp rope rushed towards the three-meter-high hexagonal prism, steadily landing on a crystal face engraved with lotus flowers.
It can't be, it's impossible, how can he control it so precisely, even if it's me, it's impossible to do it.
Zhao Anxin was shocked: If this is really the case, I will be defeated in vain!
But he thought about it again and said secretly: Even if he can control it so precisely, I'm afraid it will take time to heat the lotus, but there is not much time left for him, my apprentice will be able to light the first lotus soon, and then he will be able to light the second one, and my apprentice still has a chance.
But everything that followed completely made Zhao An dumbfounded.
Jiang Xiaofeng stretched out his two fingers, and the light of the sea was bright, and he pointed at the fire crystal in front of him, and the aura of heaven and earth around him was instantly drawn by him and blessed on the flames.
The cluster of hemp rope flames suddenly brightened with golden light, and the lotus flower that was being scorched was instantly lit up. But this was not the end, and then he controlled the cluster of flames, and immediately moved to the other lotus flower, this set of actions in one go, like flowing water, without the slightest stagnation.
"What kind of cultivation is this kid, he is obviously a sixth-order spirit builder, but I feel that he seems to be mobilizing the aura of heaven and earth?
Yan Shi was completely stunned at this time, because Jiang Xiaofeng completely broke his cognition.
