Chapter 322 Tang Huoer Arrives
"Haha, are you giving me a bad idea? Want me to pursue the eldest lady of Fenyan Valley, and then get the Three Mysterious Changes of Heavenly Fire at the same time?" Xiao Ling couldn't help laughing when he heard what Xiao Yixian said. His eyes glanced back and forth between Xiao Yixian and Tang Huoer with amusement.
"However, I have to admit that Tang Huo'er is indeed good-looking, and is half as pretty as my Xian'er. But to say that she can take over the Burning Flame Valley is too exaggerated."
The Little Doctor Fairy blinked, and a playful smile appeared on her lips: "I just said it casually, who knows if you will really be moved? After all, even a hero can be tempted by a beautiful woman."
"Oh? Are you testing me?" Xiao Ling raised his eyebrows, with a hint of joking in his tone, "But I don't want to sacrifice myself just for the sake of a secret skill. The master of Fenyan Valley is not someone you can easily mess with. I still want to live a few more years."
"Young Master, are you really not interested in Miss Tang Huoer?" Qing Lin also joined in the teasing, with a hint of curiosity in his tone.
"Of course I am interested, but not in the way you think." Xiao Ling waved his hand and said with a smile, "I am much more interested in the Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire than in Tang Huo'er."
Several people were chatting animatedly, when suddenly, Tang Huoer seemed to sense something. Her gaze passed through the crowd and locked directly on Xiao Ling and the others.
Her sight turned and fixed on Xiao Ling. As a cultivator with strange fire, Tang Huoer could naturally sense the unique fiery aura in Xiao Ling's body.
However, the Nine Dragons Thunder Fire in her body was just a seed fire and did not have much attraction to the strange fire in Xiao Ling's body.
Coupled with Xiao Ling's precise control over the strange fire, Tang Huoer found it difficult to judge whether Xiao Ling had really subdued the strange fire for a while.
But what she was sure of was that Xiao Ling was definitely a fire-attribute practitioner with considerable strength, and he might have already tamed a very powerful flame.
"It seems that we have attracted the attention of the eldest lady of Fenyan Valley." Xiao Ling noticed Tang Huoer's gaze and said easily.
"Perhaps the eldest lady of Fenyan Valley fell in love with you, a handsome man, at first sight." The Little Medical Fairy joked with a hint of joking in her tone.
"Haha, Xian'er, stop making fun of me." Xiao Ling responded with a smile. His eyes met Tang Huo'er's briefly. He nodded slightly, gave a friendly smile, and then turned his attention back to the competition stage.
After a fierce fight, the battle between the two sides is coming to an end and the winner is about to be revealed.
Seeing Xiao Ling's gaze, Tang Huoer could see his face clearly at last. She couldn't help but mutter in her heart, this guy is quite handsome.
But she is the eldest daughter of Fenyan Valley after all, and her appearance is far less important than her strength.
Driven by curiosity, she tried to find out Xiao Ling's strength, but found that she had hit an invisible wall. Not only could she not see his depth, but she also felt an insurmountable sense of powerlessness.
This time, Tang Huoer was really shocked. She looked at the young man, who seemed to be about the same age as herself, and should be of the same generation. She always felt that she was very talented, and with the full training of Fenyan Valley, it would be difficult to find an opponent among her peers.
Now, he actually felt a power that might surpass his own from this boy who seemed to be the same age as him. This made Tang Huoer, who had always been competitive, feel shocked and became very interested.
It would be interesting to have a fight with this man. Moreover, if his strength is really that outstanding, inviting him to join Burning Flame Valley and become a core disciple would be a good choice.
Thinking this in his mind, Tang Huoer moved closer to Elder Chihuo beside him and whispered a few words to him.
After hearing what Tang Huoer said, Elder Chihuo turned his gaze towards Xiao Ling and the others, trying to sense the aura of Xiao Ling, Xiao Yixiang and Qing Lin.
However, he could not sense anything, and only felt that these three people might have some treasures to conceal their aura. Although he did not think that these three people were very strong, he also believed that they were not ordinary people.
Under Tang Huo'er's expectant gaze, Elder Chihuo could only smile bitterly and nodded. However, he always felt that the young man sitting in the middle looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him for a while.
Although Elder Chihuo was somewhat puzzled, he did not ask any more questions. He knew that once the young lady made a decision, it would be difficult to change it.
At this time, the competition on the stage had reached its climax. After a fierce collision, Liu Qing and Cheng Nan were both knocked back and landed steadily on the field.
Cheng Nan was already panting and his clothes were tattered, obviously exhausted, and judging from the previous battle, he had always been at a disadvantage. In contrast, although Liu Qing's clothes were a little messy, his breath was still steady, and he clearly had the advantage.
Cheng Nan took a deep breath, and stood up with all his might. His voice was firm and powerful: "Liu Qing, you are indeed a genius. You have achieved such accomplishments at such a young age. I am ashamed of myself. However, I will not give up easily. Next, let's decide the outcome with one move."
"Okay, as you wish." Liu Qing's eyes became sharp, and the fighting spirit in his body was like a volcano about to erupt, ready to go.
The momentum of the two men instantly reached its peak, and the atmosphere in the entire square became tense. The audience held their breath, waiting for the final result of this competition.
Liu Qing's footsteps sank, and the ground seemed to tremble. His figure was like a towering mountain, and he suddenly released a violent aura.
I saw him clenching his fists, his muscles bulging, and his fighting spirit surging wildly between his arms, gathering into a destructive force.
The punch that was ready to be launched was like a cannonball about to be ejected from the chamber, full of shocking power. Liu Qing's pupils flashed with a determined light, and the fighting spirit in his body reached its peak at this moment, like boiling magma, ready to erupt at any time.
At the same time, Cheng Nan was not willing to be outdone. He knew that he had no way out and this attack would determine the outcome.
The fighting spirit in his body quickly gathered between his palms like a violent storm. Cheng Nan's face showed a look of determination, and his figure instantly turned into a stream of light, rushing towards Liu Qing.
"Hah!" Cheng Nan shouted, and pushed out his palms. A bright light streaked across the sky, as if it was going to tear the entire sky apart. It was a low-level earth-level fighting skill that gathered all his strength, thundering the nine heavens!
Instantly, the whole square seemed to be thunderous and lightning flashing, and the power seemed to be able to destroy everything. The audience was amazed and shocked by this shocking blow.
Liu Qing faced Cheng Nan's full-strength attack without changing his expression. He knew the importance of this punch. He took a deep breath, and the fighting spirit in his body reached its peak at this moment. The deliberate punch finally exploded!
"Hah, intentional punch!" Liu Qing's voice echoed over the square like thunder. His fist, with a destructive force, smashed fiercely towards Cheng Nan's light.
"Boom!" There was a loud noise, as if the heaven and earth were shaking. Liu Qing's fist collided violently with Cheng Nan's Thunder of the Nine Heavens, and a dazzling light burst out instantly. The power wave spread in all directions like a raging tide, making it impossible to look closely.
The audiences around them covered their ears with horror on their faces. They felt the power fluctuations, as if they were about to tear their bodies apart. At this moment, they deeply realized how thrilling the all-out battle between Douhuang masters was.
The light faded, and the figures of Liu Qing and Cheng Nan reappeared before everyone's eyes. Liu Qing was still as steady as a rock, while Cheng Nan was pale and shaky. Obviously, in this contest of strength, Cheng Nan had already lost.
Liu Qing looked at Cheng Nan, a trace of respect flashed in his eyes, and he nodded slightly: "You are a worthy opponent."
Cheng Nan smiled bitterly. Although he lost, there was no regret in his eyes, only recognition of Liu Qing's strength. This competition made him understand that there are always people better than you. However, he could do nothing about the development of the family in the next few years.
Seeing that the competition was over, Elder Chihuo on the side of the stands slowly stood up. His voice was loud and clear, spreading throughout the square: "According to the results of the competition, the Liu family has won this competition. According to the rules, the management rights of the space wormhole in Tianhuang City will belong to the Liu family next year."
As soon as the words fell, the Liu family immediately erupted in cheers, and people excitedly hugged each other to celebrate this hard-won victory. As for the Cheng family, although they were a little helpless, they did not say much, but just silently accepted the result. Then an elder of the Liu family came to the center of the competition stage and announced: "The space wormhole will be officially opened at noon today. At that time, we will begin to send people to manage the surrounding order. If you want to use the space wormhole, please wait for a while."
As he finished speaking, the crowd around him began to disperse and the atmosphere in the square gradually calmed down.
The people of the Liu family began to get busy. They assigned manpower in an orderly manner. These people would later be responsible for the task of supervising and maintaining the space wormhole.
The members of the Cheng family quietly packed up their things, preparing to leave the square that they once had high hopes for.
After the competition, Liu Qing also walked down from the competition stage. His steps were firm and powerful, and every step seemed to be declaring victory.
He walked through the crowd, and the people of the Liu family cast approving glances at him and gave him warm applause. They shouted "The head of the family is mighty", and the voices rose and fell like waves, one higher than the other.
Liu Qing smiled and nodded to the elders and members of the family, with a hint of imperceptible pride in his eyes. Surrounded by them, he slowly walked towards the direction of Xiao Ling and the other two.
"Haha, Xiao Ling, I'm right, I will definitely win this time." Liu Qing came to Xiao Ling and laughed out loud.
"Haha, that's right. Your performance this time really didn't bring shame to Canaan Academy." Xiao Ling smiled slightly, his tone relaxed, "After this competition, your prestige in the family must have increased a lot."
"Haha, that's a must." Liu Qing smiled proudly, then said seriously, "Oh, by the way, what are your plans now? If you are in a hurry to leave for Danyu, I can arrange for you to use the space wormhole immediately."
"If you are not in a hurry, our Liu family will hold a banquet next, and the scene will definitely be lively." Liu Qing invited enthusiastically, "Those people from Fenyan Valley will also come, you can come and join in the fun, and maybe you can even communicate with those people from Fenyan Valley."
Xiao Ling thought for a moment, then his eyes gently swept over Xiao Yixiang and Qing Lin, as if silently asking for their opinions.
Xiao Yixian and Qinglin exchanged glances, and then Xiao Yixian spoke softly, with a hint of relief in her tone, "We have no objection, your decision is our decision."
Xiao Ling smiled slightly when he heard this, nodded and responded, "Since everyone thinks so, let's go join in the fun. Anyway, there is no rush, and the journey in the space wormhole is also quite boring. Why not enjoy a good meal here first, and it won't be too late to set off later."
When Liu Qing heard Xiao Ling's decision, a hearty smile appeared on his face. He patted Xiao Ling on the shoulder and said in a loud voice, "Haha, good idea! Then come with us."
Then, Liu Qing led Xiao Ling and his party and headed towards the Liu family with great interest.
……
After returning to the Liu family, since the banquet still needed some time to prepare, Xiao Ling and the other two returned to the small courtyard where they had rested before. Liu Qing left first. As the head of the Liu family, he had a lot of family affairs to deal with after the competition, and he was really too busy to handle it.
Just as the three of them sat down in the courtyard, the space suddenly twisted, and a figure in a fiery red robe stepped out from a space crack. The person who came was none other than the Venerable Skyfire.
Reverend Skyfire usually doesn't always follow Xiao Ling and the other two closely. He will wander around, taking care of his own affairs, while also keeping an eye on them secretly to ensure the safety of Xiao Ling and the other two.
As soon as the Skyfire Venerable appeared, he smiled at Xiao Ling and said jokingly, "Hey, Xiao Ling, it seems that you are quite eye-catching in the eyes of that girl in the Burning Flame Valley. The people from the Burning Flame Valley will most likely come to you."
Xiao Ling raised his eyebrows, a little confused: "Why did she come to me? I have nothing to do with her." He paused, and added lightheartedly, "But if she really wants to come, let her come."
Xiao Ling did not take Venerable Tianhuo's words too seriously. He, Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin were leisurely sipping tea and chatting in the pavilion in the courtyard.
Not long after, just as Lord Skyfire had expected, the people from Fenyan Valley really showed up.
There were two people coming, the leader was Tang Huoer, and following her was the Chihuo Elder from Fenyan Valley.
Tang Huo'er was wearing a fiery red dress, which made her particularly eye-catching. She walked into the courtyard with Elder Chihuo with a confident smile on her face.
"Haha, sir, we meet again. Huo'er, I apologize for my intrusive visit." Tang Huo'er's voice was as sweet as a silver bell. She glanced at Xiao Ling, and then nodded politely to Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin.
Elder Chihuo had a serious look on his face. He swept his eyes over the three people, as if evaluating something. Although these three people were young, he could not tell their depth. They must have extraordinary backgrounds.
Xiao Ling stood up, smiled slightly, and replied calmly: "Haha, Miss, Elder Chihuo, I wonder what brings you here?"
Tang Huo'er did not directly answer Xiao Ling's question, but smiled and said, "Huo'er Guan, this young master should also be an expert in playing with fire. Huo'er is not talented, but he has also practiced a little in the art of fire. Let's have a competition."
As he spoke, Tang Huoer stretched out his hand, and a silver flame suddenly burned in his palm, and the space was slightly distorted. After releasing the Nine Dragons Thunder Fire, Tang Huoer's momentum changed drastically. His fiery and straightforward personality became more prominent.
"If you are scared, you can refuse my challenge, otherwise not even your clothes will be burned to ashes in a little while." There was a provocative smile on Tang Huoer's lips, as if she had already seen the scene of Xiao Ling begging for mercy under her flames.
"Haha, is this the legendary Fire of Burning Flame Valley, the Nine Dragons Thunder Fire? It looks quite powerful, but it should only be a seed fire." Xiao Ling chuckled, a hint of teasing flashed in his eyes, "It's quite interesting that you took the initiative to challenge me. However, I can't put out your fire here, that would be too disrespectful to Burning Flame Valley."
Xiao Yixian and Qinglin stood aside, both with smiles in their eyes. They both knew how powerful Xiao Ling's control over fire was, so they were not nervous. Xiao Ling was a man who had mastered five strange fires, and when it came to playing with fire, he was really not afraid of anyone.
Elder Chihuo frowned slightly. He didn't expect Tang Huo'er to suddenly make such a request. However, he didn't stop him. He also wanted to see what this young man was capable of.
Hearing Xiao Ling's words that showed he didn't take her seriously, Tang Huo'er frowned slightly and said angrily, "Humph, you are so arrogant. Let's see how you can keep your mouth shut next."
Before he finished speaking, Tang Huoer waved her hand, and the Nine Dragon Thunder Fire in her hand turned into a silver fire dragon. Without waiting for Xiao Ling to react, she pounced directly at him.
The silver fire dragon let out a roar that shook the earth, and the hot breath spread out like a substance. The surrounding space began to distort slightly under the heat wave.
A gleam of light flashed in Xiao Ling's eyes. Instead of retreating, he advanced and snapped his fingers lightly. A dark brown flame emerged and quickly gathered into the shape of a ferocious giant turtle.
The giant turtle seemed to come alive. It opened its deep eyes and let out a shocking roar at the silver dragon that was rushing towards it.
Then, it pounced forward fiercely, its claws clashing with the dragon's body. After only a moment's stalemate, it tore the dragon's body apart with astonishing force.
Silver flames splashed under the dark brown giant turtle's claws, as dazzling as fireworks at a festival.
Then, the giant turtle opened its huge mouth and sucked gently, and the silver flames were sucked into its stomach. It even seemed to burp, looking very leisurely.
