Above all spirits

Chapter 97 Red Sleeve, Charge For Me!

"Hello, you must be Miss Hongxiu. I am Shangzhan! You should have heard Ji Chang mention me before."

"You're amazing! Congratulations on reaching number one on the leaderboard!"

Although Hongxiu's test qualification came from the royal family, she registered together with the Ji family and always followed the Ji family's team. Naturally, she stood on the Ji family's side within the arena.

However, she wasn't familiar with them; only Ji Chang would chat with her for a while.

At this moment, she stood next to Ji Chang, and even without being introduced, she could recognize the man walking towards her; Ji Chang didn't have many friends.

Faced with the friendly offer from the business community, Hongxiu showed no trace of girlish coquettishness and generously shook hands and expressed her gratitude.

"Thank you, I know. Ji often mentions you. Being number one on the Heavenly Ladder was just a fluke, it's all in the past."

A hearty laugh during a business battle.

“Miss Hongxiu is so open-minded. If I had won first place, I would have talked about it every day. My old man would probably have jumped to the sky and bragged about it to me, hahaha.”

One reason I came to greet her during this business battle was that I wanted to see Hongxiu, who is currently a hot topic of discussion, in person.

On the other hand, it was also his father who made arrangements, telling him to make sure he got along well with Hongxiu, and to not care about saving face and to fawn over her when necessary.

As a core member of the Shang family and the only son of the family head, he naturally knew Shang Wenqing's thoughts as well.

He expressed disdain for the business war, saying that he couldn't win over the demon envoy of the Ji family himself, so he sent his son to win over His contractor.

However, a father's command is hard to disobey, and a mere lick is not considered a proper lick.

"Haha, business warfare, you don't know, Hongxiu herself may not be anything, but my brother is like the father you mentioned, he has been praising Hongxiu to the skies within the family."

After pondering for a moment, he asked.

Are you talking about Ji Ning?

After all, Ji Changzai's seniority in the Ji family was quite low, and there were quite a few people above him who called him "brother".

Ji Chang rolled his eyes, indicating that he didn't know this, even though they had known each other for so long.

The only person he could mention was Ji Ning.

"Who else could it be if he wasn't him?"

Just as the three were chatting amiably.

A puddle of cold water was splashed directly at me.

"It's just relying on the advantage of the mental technique. If you keep practicing it, you won't even know where you'll die."

The three of them searched for the source of the sound together and soon located a strange man standing next to Feng Lingkong. He was probably a descendant of one of Feng's affiliated families.

Ji Chang coldly stared at the silent Feng Lingkong, rather than engaging in conflict with the man. "We're not fools," he said indignantly.

"What? The Feng family, can't they afford to lose?"

If not instructed or approved, why would Feng Lingkong adopt such a posture?

Feng Lingkong's eyelids twitched slightly, seemingly not expecting Ji Chang to be so bold as to directly target the Feng family.

However, since the scene inside was visible to the outside world, it was not appropriate to lose control. Forcibly suppressing the anger in her heart, she pretended to scold the man beside her.

"Don't talk nonsense. There's no such thing as luck on the Heavenly Ladder."

Then he gave Hongxiu and the other two a emotionless smile.

"I apologize, my men are not very tactful and their language is a bit rude. Please forgive them."

Ji Chang snorted, seemingly realizing that this was not the time to argue, and stopped trying to be witty. He pulled the two of them away from the Feng family's group.

However, he continued to mutter indignantly.

"TM's rough language means he's right, as expected, Feng Lingkong is no good either."

...

After a brief interruption, the mechanical tone indicating the start of the test sounded.

The group, who had been chatting and laughing, suddenly gathered their strength to protect themselves and charged forward like arrows released from a bow.

Ahead of the charge was a sea of ​​fire.

Although Liu Qingyun described it as a desert, he didn't say it was just an ordinary desert.

The pebbles on the ground were scorched red by the high temperature, and blood-red flames occasionally shot out from the ground.

From afar, the entire sky was the color of flames, and the further back you went, the darker it became. At the very top, the flames were almost towering, and the whole sky was burned a deep purple-red.

Every inch of space was violently distorted and shaking.

But even the intense heat that hit them like waves of heat did not deter the students.

Most of the students who passed the first test were at the second or even third level of the Mortal Body realm.

As long as one maintains a continuous flow of Qi, it is not difficult to withstand short-term high-temperature burning.

Some lucky individuals whose cultivation methods are inherently fire-attribute are even more at home here.

Looking at Hongxiu, who was slightly behind from the start in the video, Gu Yun was not surprised at all.

In terms of physical fitness, those at the first level of mortal physique are indeed much inferior to those at the second and third levels.

On the other hand, that is...

Gu Yun taught Hongxiu the power: Thousand Changes ultimately cannot escape the fundamental flaw of the Shadow Demon race, which is the lack of means of output.

Even a powerful power like the Thousand Transformations is primarily for adapting to and avoiding damage, rather than controlling or changing it. Although it grants some elemental manipulation abilities after activation, it is still too weak.

In other words, Hongxiu can currently only treat the venue as nothing, but cannot turn the venue into an advantage.

This should also be part of the assessment.

unless...

Forget it.

No unless.

Power: Wanhua is centered on manipulating and changing external objects, which is the opposite of Qianbian.

However, Gu Yun only had a rough framework given to him by his master's wife. Unfortunately, he was not a gifted master of powers.

Oh! I'm so sorry!

Master’s wife!

Your disciple is useless!

The study of powers is truly beyond human comprehension!

From now on, I can only leave it to fate and see if I can meet an incredibly powerful master to help me complete the missing pieces.

Gu Yun was quite confident in this regard.

Returning to the field test.

Gu Yun looked at the faintly glowing red lines on the back of his hand!

It's safe to say that if Su Xiaoqian were to participate in this competition, she would undoubtedly achieve excellent results, perhaps even topping the list.

After all, the Crimson Flame Heart Sutra is the core technique of the Crimson Flame Royal Family. It is based on controlling fire, and with a series of supporting techniques, one can use the fire to one's advantage. In this field test, it was almost entirely an aid.

Indeed, no matter what kind of test it is, luck is also a part of ability.

A lucky person is popular everywhere.

However, it's not impossible for Hongxiu to take first place.

As long as the following tests are difficult enough.

Contrary to the norm.

For Hongxiu, the more difficult the test, the better.

This differs from Gu Yun's rational analysis.

Werner was extremely anxious.

"Holy crap, how did we fall behind from the very beginning?!"

"Red Sleeve, charge! Charge fiercely! Don't let the most powerful ability of my Shadow Demon clan be buried!"

"I just finished bragging, please, I don't want to eat shi while standing on my head!"

Gu Yun: ...
