Chapter 203 The contestants appear
Although Fa Ma still looked calm at the moment, his every move attracted the attention of the whole audience. With a slight wave of his sleeves, as if silently announcing his arrival, he slowly walked towards the VIP seats under the eager gaze of the crowd.
Even though Fa Ma's appearance consisted of only a few short sentences, the audience's enthusiastic cheers did not diminish in the slightest, which was enough to prove the influence of the Alchemist Guild's president.
Fa Ma came to the VIP seat, nodded to Xiao Ling and others, and then cast a meaningful look at Mitchell, as if to say: "You know."
Then he sat down in his seat leisurely.
Mitchell smiled helplessly, walked to the front of the VIP seats, his expression became serious, and his voice echoed in the square:
"Now, all contestants, please take your seats!"
Most of the free alchemists in the field had already found their seats. As Chemiel finished speaking, some alchemists in the VIP seats stood up and quickly walked towards the stairs.
Liu Ling, who had been accompanying Nalan Yanran, noticed that she had been absent-minded since she entered the venue. Although Liu Ling didn't know why Nalan Yanran behaved like this, he decided to use his charm to attract her attention.
Liu Ling did not follow the others to take the stairs, but walked to the VIP seats and jumped down. With his unique light body skills, he landed lightly on the competition square, which aroused cheers from the audience.
However, Nalan Yanran only glanced at him lightly and then looked away, as if she was not interested in Liu Ling's behavior. If Liu Ling knew this, he might be extremely disappointed.
Immediately afterwards, Princess Yaoyue was not to be outdone. After seeing Liu Ling's actions, she also jumped down from the VIP seat, her figure as light as a falling leaf, and landed gracefully in the center of the square.
The atmosphere at the scene became boiling. Xiao Ling might be indifferent to this cute little princess, but in the eyes of other young people, she was undoubtedly an unattainable goddess.
Amidst everyone's expectant gazes, Xiao Yan finally appeared in the contestants' waiting area.
As the third young master of the Xiao family, he is not only one of the favorites to win the imperial capital's competition, but also has his own aura, attracting the attention of countless audiences.
Although he keeps a low profile, his calm temperament and the subtle aura of strength make it impossible to ignore his presence.
At this moment, Xiao Yan slowly stood up. His movements were simple and calm, as if silently announcing his upcoming grand appearance.
Purple light quietly gathered behind him, gradually forming a pair of dazzling purple wings. These wings not only demonstrated his extraordinary strength, but also added a bit of mystery and nobility.
With his wings flapping gently, Xiao Yan's body slowly rose into the air. He was like a god descending from the sky, overlooking the crowd below.
As he gradually approached the sky above the competition square, the purple wings began to slowly retract, and finally, at the moment of landing, they were completely retracted into his body.
Just as everyone was holding their breath, Xiao Yan made an amazing move in the air.
He stepped lightly in the air, as if he was stepping on an invisible staircase. His body paused slightly in mid-air, then slowly descended.
His figure was as light as a fallen leaf, without a trace of smoke, and he finally landed steadily in the center of the square in an almost silent manner.
At this moment, the entire square was immersed in an indescribable shock.
Xiao Yan's landing did not stir up a speck of dust. He stood there, his posture upright, his clothes swaying gently in the wind. The moment Xiao Yan landed smoothly, the audience in the entire square was amazed.
However, the purple fighting spirit wings that Xiao Yan had just used also caused doubts to arise in people's hearts.
“Fighting Qi wings, isn’t that something only a Fighting King-level warrior can possess?” an audience member whispered, his eyes full of confusion and shock.
"Yeah, but how old is Xiao Yan? I heard that he is only a great fighting master, how could he have fighting spirit wings?" Another audience member nearby also joined the discussion, with disbelief in his tone.
Discussions arose among the crowd, but no one could give a definite answer.
Although the audience below the stage could not discern the origin of the Dou Qi wings displayed by Xiao Yan, the family leaders in the VIP seats, who had seen a lot of ups and downs, naturally knew it well.
Jia Xingtian's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and he said to Xiao Ling with a smile: "Haha, Xiao Ling, if my eyesight is not wrong, what Xiao Yan used should be a very rare flying fighting skill, right?"
As Jia Xingtian asked the question, several other family leaders also turned their curious eyes to Xiao Ling.
Xiao Ling smiled slightly and replied calmly: "Master Jia is indeed very discerning. What Xiao Yan displayed was indeed a flying fighting skill. This is what I acquired when I was training outside before. However, at that time, my cultivation had already reached the Dou Wang level. This fighting skill was no longer necessary for me, so I passed it on to Xiao Yan."
The flying fighting skill that Xiao Yan displayed was exactly the Profound Grade flying fighting skill, Purple Cloud Wing, that Xiao Ling accidentally acquired in the Monster Mountain Range.
This flying fighting skill was originally prepared by Xiao Ling for Qinglin, but with Qinglin's rapid improvement in cultivation, she can no longer rely on external objects to fly in the air.
Moreover, before breaking through the Dou Wang realm, if she needed to fly, she could also use the help of those winged snake-like monsters. Therefore, this volume of flying fighting skills seemed redundant.
During the last trip when Xiao Yan was leading him back to Canaan College, Xiao Ling personally handed the flying fighting skills to Xiao Yan.
With the help of this volume of flying fighting skills, Xiao Yan was able to perform flying even before he reached the Dou Wang realm, which undoubtedly brought him a significant advantage at certain critical moments.
For example, in that fire hunting competition, if Xiao Yan did not have Zi Yunyi's assistance, it would not be so easy for him to gain an advantage over many experienced veterans.
With the grand appearance of several focus figures such as Xiao Yan, the atmosphere in the competition square has reached a new climax.
Afterwards, other alchemists also began to follow the surging crowd and entered the competition square in an orderly manner.
Some of these alchemists come from prominent families, while others are freelancers. Some are young and promising, while others are experienced. Each of them has a passion for the art of alchemy and a desire for victory.
At the same time, in a corner of the square, in the shadows, three figures were tightly wrapped in black robes, revealing only a few obscure glances.
When they saw Xiao Ling chatting and laughing with everyone in the VIP seats and obviously had no intention of participating in this Alchemist Conference, their tense bodies gradually relaxed, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
