Chapter 214: First Encounter [Chapter 2]
At this time, just when the people on the stage were talking, Tang Xiao finally began to condense.
Looking at the Biling grass and rock iron ore in front of him, Tang Xiao chose rock iron ore without hesitation, and recalled the scene when he first learned to condense and taught himself to condense refined iron in eight taels, and the corners of Tang Xiao's mouth couldn't help but cross a smile of memory.
The fingertips were lightly picked, and the spiritual power burst out, and I saw that the rock iron ore lying in the iron box immediately popped out, flew towards Tang Xiao, and was quietly suspended in front of Tang Xiao.
And near Tang Xiao, the deacon of Han Wu, after seeing Tang Xiao choose rock iron ore, a trace of contempt appeared in his eyes, and then a cold light flashed, and he also selected rock iron ore and began to condense.
Although a quarter of the time for a stick of incense had passed, the other second-level condensators present except for Lan Taihui had just started to condense, because for them, condensing first-level ore was just a very easy matter, and all they needed now was to complete the condensation of the first level in a low-key manner and prepare for the blockbuster final.
Moving his gaze sideways, Tang Xiao saw that the Han Centipede Deacon on the side had begun to condense, and one after another handprints with a cold breath hit the rock iron ore, causing ice flowers to appear on the rock iron ore from time to time, and the black impurities were forced out one after another with the invasion of this cold air.
Moreover, the Han Centipede Deacon did not have any scruples at all, unscrupulously swaying his energy, not considering the surrounding contestants at all, the piercing cold ice aura spread unscrupulously to the surroundings, and several young condensers on the side, because of the sudden chaos of the Han Centipede Deacon, were suddenly disrupted by the cold cold air, and the materials burst one after another, and the condensation failed!
The eyes of these young condensers who had failed because of Deacon Coldcene flashed with reluctance and hatred, and they all glared at Deacon Coldcente, but they didn't dare to make any other moves.
Because to examine a condenser's ability, it is not only his condensation level to be examined, but more importantly, his ability to resist external interference.
After all, not every condensation will be carried out in a very safe and quiet environment, if it is condensed in a harsh environment, then this anti-interference ability has become a very important ability.
Therefore, for interference from the outside world, it can be regarded as an important criterion for the condensation ceremony, as long as the contestants are not fighting that kind of bad behavior, the Heavenly Spirit Empire will definitely not interfere, so Deacon Han Wu will be so unscrupulous and arrogant.
After a while, Tang Xiao was left alone near Deacon Han Centipe, and the rest of the more than ten people had already disrupted their rhythm because of Deacon Han Centipede's extremely aggressive cold air, and they all failed and returned home.
"Huanyu, the black-robed young man beside Banjin was brought by you?" After Zuo Shishun noticed the abnormal movement in that area, he asked Zuo Shihuanyu. The expression was flat, making it impossible to guess what Zuo Shishun was thinking at this time.
"Yes, Han Centipede is a friend made by Huanyu. Zuo Shi Huanyu replied truthfully.
Not to mention the cold temperament and sick appearance of Deacon Han Centipe, just by virtue of this condensation technique and condensation level, he has already been noticed by people, and he can definitely be called a powerful dark horse in this condensation ceremony.
"This cold centipede is young, but it has such a huge spiritual power, I don't know which old guy cultivated it. Master Banner sighed slightly and said.
Although he also felt that the spiritual power of Han Centipede fluctuated greatly, everyone thought that this was the special exercise of Han Centipede, so no one raised this question.
At this time, Tang Xiao had also begun to step into the rhythm, and he was not affected by any influence from the Han Centipeda Deacon at all, and the refining and condensing four unique handprints were continuously typed, and the four great handprints of shock, infiltration, removal, and separation were almost uninterrupted, controlling the rock iron ore in the air, and he was at ease.
With the passage of time, most of the time for a stick of incense has passed, and only one-third of the time is left, and the condensation masters present who are still continuing to condense have already tightened the number of two hundred people left, and the others have either failed to condense because they are too nervous or because they are influenced by others.
Before the game was completed, nearly 300 people had already failed to condense it, which showed that the condensation technique was an extremely nuanced and subtle technique, and as long as there was a slight deviation, it would lead to a complete collapse.
Suddenly, in the front row of the square, Tang Xiao suddenly felt a sudden burst of soul power, forming a small soul storm, which was the final sign that the condensation was about to end. Based on the size of this soul storm, Tang Xiao concluded that this must be a second-level condenser.
Yu Guang looked, and sure enough, the second-level condensation master who first started condensing at this time, Yu Taihui, had already completed all his condensation tasks, and at the end of the day, he unabashedly magnified his soul power, showing everyone his condensation cultivation at this time.
Obviously, the spectators and nobles who had been paying close attention to the event had all noticed Yu Taihui's movements, and from his strong soul power, they recognized the cultivation of the second-level condenser.
Immediately, the whole audience exclaimed, shocked by Taihui's cultivation.
Unexpectedly, after the setback of the Heavenly Spirit Auction, not only did he not collapse, but after a short period of recuperation, he was promoted to the cultivation of a second-level condenser.
At the age of just in his early twenties, he was able to have such a cultivation, which was definitely beyond the achievements of Master Banner back then, if there was no appearance of half a catty, then Yu Taihui would definitely be the most dazzling new star in the Heavenly Spirit Empire at present.
But even if there is half a catty of saving, then Taihui's condensation talent is definitely under one person, above ten thousand people, and it should not be underestimated at all!
"Master Banner, congratulations, I didn't expect this young man to be able to stand out from the blue, it seems that you are really a successor!" Seeing that Xuan Taihui was promoted to a second-level condensation master, Zuo Shishun's eyes also showed a look of surprise, after all, the Heavenly Spirit Empire can have an additional condensation genius who surpasses Master Banner, which means that there is likely to be a fifth-level condensation master who surpasses Master Banner in the future, how can this not surprise Zuo Shishun.
For a while, the surrounding aristocratic ministers all congratulated Master Banner, and Master Banner was also very pleased because of the competitiveness of Taihui, and a satisfied smile appeared on his wrinkled face.
After feeling the eyes of the people around him again, Taihui looked around very arrogantly, and finally found Tang Xiao's figure in the crowd, and glanced at Tang Xiao provocatively.
Time moved backwards little by little, and a stick of incense was only the size of an incense tail, seeing that time was about to end, and at the last moment, the remaining condensators present also began the final finish.
Small soul storms sounded continuously in all corners of the square, and then while finishing the work, the soul storms generated would also have a certain impact on the people around them.
As a result, the sound of defeat continued to sound on the field again, followed by a wave of chagrin and unwilling scolding, but still no one dared to fight openly here.
At this time, Tang Xiao was also at the last moment, planning to start the finishing work, the last four handprints were already brewing in the palm of his hand, as long as he completed a cycle, Tang Xiao's condensation could also be completed.
However, just as Tang Xiao was about to make the last four absolute handprints, suddenly the familiar cold qi suddenly converged, like an ice spear, and suddenly stabbed at him.
Deacon Han Centipede has made a move!
Sensing this sudden attack, Tang Xiao was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect that at this most critical moment, Deacon Han Wu actually dared to exploit the loopholes of the Heavenly Spirit Empire and attack himself with his spiritual power.
But stunned to stunned, Tang Xiao did not have any panic, the hands of the seal were immediately separated, the right hand was still condensed with the mudra, and the seal of the four unique mudras was carried out, while the other hand quickly became a grasp, controlling the spiritual power, and hit the spiritual ice spear of the deacon of the cold centipede.
I saw that a small desert seemed to appear in front of Tang Xiao's palm, and the yellow sand covered the sky in front of Tang Xiao's body, and the spiritual power of the earth element instantly condensed, forming a hard city wall.
The next moment, the ice spear collided with the city wall, and suddenly there was a violent explosion, and the ice ballast and yellow sand that hit flew in all directions, mercilessly affecting the condensation of at least twenty people around.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Suddenly, the two of them were like firecrackers during the Chinese New Year, and the sound of condensation failure came one after another, and the spiritual power of the two of them was too large, and the fluctuations generated were enough to cause some damage to the first-level condensation master, so the contestants around them were all injured by their spiritual power, and they were dizzy, and those who were closer had even begun to bleed from their ears and noses.
And Tang Xiao, who was in the center of the collision, was hit backwards by the impact because of the reason that the defense was too hasty, and he took two steps back before stabilizing his figure, but the handprint on his hand did not dare to have the slightest negligence, even when he was going backwards, that is, he did not forget to hit the handprint on his hand.
Finally, at the moment when Tang Xiao stabilized his figure, Tang Xiao's condensation was finally completed, and the rock iron ore, which had completely become black and bright, suddenly lost the support of spiritual power, fell from the sky, and happened to fall into Tang Xiao's hands.
At the same time that Tang Xiao was finished, the Han Centipede Deacon who sent out the attack also completed his cultivation, holding the warm rock iron ore in his hand, and looked at Tang Xiao coldly.
"Rats, will they only sneak attack from behind?" Tang Xiao held the rock iron ore in his hand and said to Deacon Han Wu unremittingly.
"Hmph!" Seeing that he had failed in one blow and had also allowed Tang Xiao to condense successfully, Deacon Han's pale face became even more gloomy, and the rock iron ore in his hand was also covered with a layer of frost.
Turning his head and ignoring Deacon Han Centipe, Tang Xiao silently waited for the end of the competition.
