"The second stage of the second game begins!"

A quarter of an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and with the ringing of the competition bell, the second stage officially began. Ling Tian remained relaxed and unhurried. After all, with the Soul Orb recording time, a slow start wouldn't be a problem, and he could still observe others' progress. Many others shared the same idea, but as time ticked by, most had already begun.

Ling Tian looked around and saw that no one was waiting, so he had to start.

This was the first time that Ling Tian looked inside his own soul, condensing his own soul within the soul bead. The colorful and dazzling form was so dazzling that Ling Tian, ​​who was somewhat stunned, was attacked one after another by those high-speed moving light spots in this space.

When he came to his senses, he was surprised to find that these light spots hitting his soul did not cause any discomfort. Instead, his soul felt very comfortable and warm, and there was even a slight improvement.

"It's so magical that it can actually increase the strength of the soul."

Ling Tian let his soul stand still, allowing these light spots to rush in. Feeling the soul's subtle increase in happiness, Ling Tian suddenly remembered this mission. With a start, he quickly controlled his soul to avoid the attacking light spots. If he became disqualified because of his momentary greed, it would be a waste of time.

Half a minute later, Ling Tian, ​​who was concentrating on controlling his soul, sensed the movements of several contestants around him, and then separated a trace of his spiritual consciousness to check.

"Some people have already started to finish. Looks like if we can hold on a little longer, we'll be fine. Then the situation will turn around, haha!"

Another quarter of an hour passed, and nearly half of the people on the field had completed the second stage of the test. Ling Tian thought that it was almost done, so he gradually slowed down his dodging speed, occasionally letting a small amount of light hit his soul.

As time passed, more and more people could no longer hold on and completed the test, and only one in ten people were still persisting.

Ling Tian knew that there would be no problem in entering the next round, so he completely gave up dodging and turned from defense to offense. The slightly raised corners of his mouth showed that he was somewhat happy.

Yuan Xiao's gaze was not focused on Li Cuimei and the others, but on Ling Tian who remained calm. Even though there were still more than a thousand people left to persist, he found that the others were really gritting their teeth and persevering, but Ling Tian was different. He remained calm and showed no sign of hardship, which made him very interested.

"Wu Minghong, what's the name of that Northern Territory disciple?"

"Replying to the Great Elder, this person is called Ling Tian. He is not a disciple of our Dan League, but a disciple of a sect that was recently destroyed. However, he is very powerful and has refined a spiritual pill. Although it is only the lowest level, it is still rare and valuable."

"Oh, you can actually refine a magic pill. Even the lowest level one isn't something that everyone can make. Wait..."

Yuan Xiao paused, as if remembering something, then summoned a replica mirror. With a little magic, the mirror unexpectedly reproduced the scene where Ling Tian had just tested his soul strength. After watching it repeatedly, Yuan Xiao had a guess: Ling Tian was deliberately controlling it.

"You guys take a look too."

A moment later, the other six elders all gave the same answer with serious expressions, which immediately shifted their attention to Ling Tian.

You don't know until you see it, and it's shocking. His relaxed expression once again attracted more attention from others.

Another half hour passed, Ling Tian was multitasking. He looked at the field and saw that there were not many people left. He felt that it was time to withdraw.

After taking back the trace of soul in the soul bead, Ling Tian smiled. He gained a lot from this assessment.

Not long after, Li Cuimei, who had persevered to the end, could no longer hold on and ended the second stage of the test. At this time, she was sweating profusely and her face was a little pale, but she could not hide her excitement. She felt that her performance in this round was absolutely outstanding.

The seven elders began to check the results, but when they checked Ling Tian's soul bead, Yuan Xiao narrowed his eyes in extreme shock, but did not show anything unusual. A quarter of an hour later, just like the first game, those whose jade pendants on the table lit up red were eliminated. This time, no one dared to make trouble.

"Okay, today's two games are over. The third game will be held tomorrow."

Yuan Xiao glanced at Ling Tian inconspicuously, then quickly left the venue with the other six elders.

"Let's go back too. Have a good rest tonight. Tomorrow's third game is crucial. Don't be complacent. Hahaha~"

Wu Minghong's laughter was like a thorn in the bodies of the team leaders of the two southeastern regions. Their northern region had won the first two games, which made them so angry that their eyes were bloodshot. They left behind only a few fierce glances and stormed out of the arena with tens of thousands of participating teams behind them.

At this time, in the secret room of the Dan League headquarters, Yuan Xiao said seriously, "Check this soul bead."

The other six people checked the delivery one by one, all with serious expressions. One of them said to Yuan Xiao, "Which contestant is this?"

Yuan Xiao was about to speak when he erected several isolating light curtains and whispered the four words "Northern Territory Lingtian" to the six people.

"Seventh Elder, secretly bring him to the main alliance. Don't reveal a single word. We need to talk to him."

"good!"

After Seventh Elder Cai Yanhong left, Second Elder Tang Qilin asked solemnly, "Great Elder, which plan should we initiate?"

"What do you think?"

"Let's investigate first. That plan is too important. A single mistake will cause the Dan League's hundreds of thousands of years of preparation to go to waste."

"I also agree with the Third Elder's approach."

"Okay, let's talk to him once he gets here and then decide on the next step."

Ling Tian, ​​who had just returned to his room in Juxian Building, was shocked by a very slight fluctuation, but he dared not show it on the surface. He had already noticed that a large formation had been set up in the room. He was not sure that he could break through and attract attention from outside, so he had to take it one step at a time.

Cai Yanhong, who was hiding in the void, was a little disappointed. The tiny flaw he had deliberately left behind should have been noticeable with Ling Tian's super strong soul power.

"Could it be that we made a mistake in our judgment?"

"Come out!"

Ling Tian’s words made Cai Yanhong stunned for a moment. When he looked over, Ling Tian was already looking at him in the void with a faint smile.

Cai Yanhong was certain that Ling Tian was not deceiving him, so he revealed his true identity and said with a smile, "Aren't you afraid, young friend?"

"I'm afraid, but it's useless. I can't open this barrier. Anyone who can set up such a barrier is beyond my ability to resist. But I don't think you have any ill intentions, so I'm not afraid."

“Hahaha, not bad!”

The slight disappointment that Cai Yanhong had just felt had disappeared, replaced by satisfaction.

"Young friend, don't panic. I'm Cai Yanhong, the Seventh Elder of the Dan League Headquarters. I've come here to discuss something important with you. Could you please come with me to the headquarters?"

Ling Tian's brain was working at high speed, calculating various possibilities. After a while, Ling Tian looked at Cai Yanhong and said, "Okay!"
