The Demonic World I designed-Chapter 714 - 705: Summon Spirit and Dispatch General!
Chapter 714: Chapter 705: Summon Spirit and Dispatch General!
Just... appeared like that?
All the competing magicians were stunned; they had all assumed that Zhang Xiaopang must have acquired some special artifact from Elder Zhang, the kind that even ordinary people could use. Such artifacts, like the Warm Jade, Cold Jade, and Image Jade, had already been crafted in Jiangnan and were usable by the average person. With the Heavenly Master Mansion being so mysterious, it was not impossible that they’d create some large artifact that ordinary people could wield. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
The common expectation was that Zhang Xiaopang would remain hidden, manipulating the artifact in secret, and find an opportunity to exit gracefully. That’s what most had in mind.
No one expected that the kid... would just brazenly show up in front of everyone. How little did he regard them?
They really thought they would go easy on him out of respect for Elder Zhang?
Su Changgui and others’ eyes lit up as they secretly activated their techniques. Of course, they wouldn’t dare to kill the grandson favored by the old Celestial Master—after all, this was someone else’s territory, and the Heavenly Master Mansion had shown considerable prowess. They didn’t have the guts to kill the boy, but...
Allowing him to exit with his dignity intact was possible, after all, as one of the candidates, he should have enough privilege in the later stages, right?
With this thought, not just him, many took a step closer.
But Siao Pangzi on the stage, with his hands on his chubby waist and nostrils flaring, formally asked, "You’ve got courage, selecting this gate for the test. But let me ask you once more, have you thought it through? This test is indifferent to life or death, and this gate is far more dangerous than the other three!"
The crowd: "....."
This Zhang Xiaopang looks... sober, doesn’t he?
Su Changgui didn’t want to waste time and was about to make his move, but just as he did, he noticed the other magicians watching him. All at once, their auras surged, chaotic energies swirling. Clearly, if Su Changgui made a move, everyone else would too.
Su Changgui’s brow furrowed as he realized that everyone wanted to capture Zhang Xiaopang and become one of the candidates.
Could this be the design of the Heavenly Master Mansion?
Suddenly, he seemed to catch on.
Indeed...
Zhang Xiaoyun was a regular person; he couldn’t endure the way those top warriors could. A little ripple of energy might turn him into minced meat.
So many people shared the same thought, but none dared to harm the grandson of the old Celestial Master...
Was this the real challenge of this stage?
Su Changgui suddenly felt like he’d figured out the arrangement.
A smile spread across his face. This would be difficult for the average magician, as their fights were not as precise as those of warriors. Once the melee started, it would be hard to avoid collateral damage, but... he was different.
As everyone’s gaze locked on him, he took a step towards Zhang Xiaoyun. Crimson dragon scales slowly emerged from his skin, petal by petal, like a blossoming lotus.
An unassuming magician, in that instant, underwent a dramatic shift in aura, becoming more fearsome than any warrior!
And indeed, he was. The fierceness of warriors comes from the demon beasts in their bloodlines, but as a bearer of the Su Family’s True Dragon Bloodline and with pure ancient Dragon Clan lineage, the level of ferocity displayed when his bloodline surged was naturally incomparable to ordinary warriors.
His overwhelming presence left magicians nearby pale, even the ones who had come from the Southern Sea with Su Changgui were taken aback, retreating repeatedly.
In the Southern Sea, not many could inherit the True Dragon Bloodline, especially among the younger generation—who could be counted on one hand. Su Changgui was the only one in the Su Family who did. If any of the onlookers had been slightly more ambitious, they would have chosen the White Tiger Gate or at least dared to select the Vermilion Bird Gate.
Only the Su Family, with their many children, sent one to each gate.
For a prodigy like Su Changgui, other families would have groomed him as a successor, but in the Su Family, he was sent here to seize opportunities.
And indeed, none of those who came with him were a match for him.
Not only the Southern Sea Sorcerer Families, but even the magicians from Yundu were frightened by his aura, feeling as though they could be devoured at any moment.
At that moment, all faces turned pale!
Is this the legendary Dragon Transformed Sorcerer?
Many young magicians from Yundu turned pale as the Spatial Sorcerers almost instinctively increased their distance.
The intimidating aura previously directed at Su Changgui receded like the tide.
Su Changgui saw this and gave a cold smile, "The Sorcerer Families of Yundu are no big deal after all."
Turning his head to look towards Zhang Xiaoyun on the stairs, he found that the other party had, at some point, sat down with eyes tightly closed.
Su Changgui curled his lips upon seeing this, "Fainted from fright?"
But perhaps it’s all for the best, this might be considered a dignified way to exit, right?
"May I know now, has Su someone passed the test?"
After undergoing Dragon Transformation, Su Changgui’s voice became hoarse with a metallic quality as he asked the crowd outside, sounding very imposing.
The people outside frowned as they were about to speak, but then a voice sounded from within the gate.
"You’re still quite far from it..."
This voice also carried a metallic rasp, grating and unpleasant to hear, yet that voice, for some reason, made everyone feel a chill run down their spines in an instant, Su Changgui included, who felt goosebumps rise all over his body. In a split second, the dragon scales on his body began to subconsciously recede!
It was like a passionate young man excited at the sight of a sexy woman, only to be cooled down by a sudden chill the next moment, the scales and flames on his body uncontrollably fading away.
In that instant, Su Changgui felt an overwhelming terror, something he had never experienced since succeeding in Dragon Transformation.
What in the world was happening?
He looked fiercely towards the steps; that terrifying chill and the grating voice seemed to originate from there.
When he looked over, he froze completely.
Zhang Xiaoyun on the stairs had, at some point, opened his eyes, which were pitch black like the night, like the abyss in the void that could swallow even light, Su Changgui swore, he had never encountered such terrifying eyes!
This guy... wasn’t he just an ordinary person without Techniques?
On purpose?
It shouldn’t be... prior to this, everyone had seen Zhang Xiaoyun, clearly seeing that the other was a person without Techniques, without the slightest energy fluctuation in his body, then why...
"Dragon Vein Sorcerer..." Zhang Xiaoyun let out a strange laugh from his mouth: "It’s been years since I’ve seen one..."
In that moment, Su Changgui suddenly understood.
The person in front of him... was not Zhang Xiaoyun!!
Without any hesitation, he executed a Technique and rapidly retreated backwards!
His instincts were screaming at him to escape immediately, to flee outside the palace gates, or else... he would certainly die here!
At the same time, the audience watching Azure Dragon Gate were so frightened by Zhang Xiaoyun’s pitch-black pupils that they fell silent, utter silence reigning outside Azure Dragon Gate.
The Su Family Elders wanted to rush in to intervene at this scene; their Su Family had just lost a pillar-like youth, and now... if Su Changgui was lost too...
Given what happened at White Tiger Gate, the Heavenly Master Mansion seemed to show no concern for the lives of the great family scions in this trial, not holding back in the slightest.
Zhang Xiaoyun made the Elders even more convinced that he would show no mercy.
But... even though they were frantic with worry, for some reason, they couldn’t move a muscle!
It was an instinctive resistance from their bodies, a feeling they only had in the depths of the Dragon Palace when facing those terrifying top-tier Demon Beasts.
This Zhang Xiaoyun... what was his background?

"Summoning the Spirits, Commanding the Generals..." The red-robed woman from the Shenwu Guild in the distance had her eyes light up!
This Heavenly Master Mansion... actually has such a thing!!
