Chapter 1474 - Dazzling Dao

If they succeeded, they naturally failed.

However, there were even more low-grade Heavenly Arts that had just successfully activated the second dao diagram. After that, the entire ’Nine Diagram Dao Disks’ dimmed down, and even failed after the third dao diagram was activated.

Thus, the buzzing sounds from time to time were mixed with vexed sighs and depressed curses.

”...”

”That Tang Huan’s performance in the first round was astonishing. How come there’s no movement in the second round?”

”It’s really strange, could it be that Tang Huan’s ability to control fire is extremely strong, but his ability to deduce the dao diagram is relatively normal, that’s not right, even if it’s even more normal, how could a person who can create a perfect Dao Artifact be unable to activate a single dao diagram?”

”Could it be that Tang Huan is preparing some big move?”

”...”

”Haha, the second round will still depend on our Qian Yuan Sky Sect. After only half an hour, Senior Zhang, Senior Sun and Senior Tao have all successfully activated three dao diagrams. They have already passed the second round. The woman from Limitless Temple is not bad either, she has successfully activated three dao diagrams. ”

”Tang Huan? ”He hasn’t even succeeded on a single dao diagram. If he gets eliminated in the second round, that would be too funny.”

”There’s still half an hour left. It shouldn’t be enough to get eliminated, but if you want to catch up with Zhang Yiran, Sun Yingwu, and Tao Yanghui, you probably won’t have any hope at all.”

”...”

The crowd surrounding the arena was in an uproar.

Originally, many cultivators were looking forward to Tang Huan’s performance in the second round, but they were all puzzled. As time passed, seeing that Tang Huan still had not made any movements, their confidence in Tang Huan started to rapidly fade. The cultivators of the Heaven’s Expanse School and the Limitless Temple that were hiding in the crowd mocked them.

At the high platform, Xue Yu was also rather suspicious: ”Brother Du, what’s the situation with that Tang Huan from your Heavenly Palace?”

”I’m not sure either.”

Du Xinghe shook his head, exchanged glances with Liu Tiangang and He Qingzhu, and couldn’t help but frown. They both saw deep confusion in each other’s eyes.

In the first round, they were very calm because they were very clear on how powerful Tang Huan’s method of controlling the firepower was. They had also personally witnessed it during the general election in Heavenly Imperial City.

But in the second round of the Heavenly Arts Competition, they were looking at the ability of deduction. Tang Huan did not make any movements, so they naturally could not see anything.

According to common sense, with Tang Huan’s Tools Method Attainments, he would definitely be able to activate a complete dao diagram. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Tang Huan to successfully forge so many perfect low-ranked dao tools. If a Dao item wanted to reach that level, the requirements for the dao diagram were extremely high.

”This little guy’s actions have always been out of my expectations. Maybe he had other considerations, so he didn’t immediately activate the dao diagram.” Liu Tiangang laughed.

”Not bad, this old man also believes that the little guy’s ability to deduce dao diagrams is not too bad.”

Xue Yu nodded with a smile when he heard this. ”There’s still a quarter of an hour left, and there’s still plenty of time. This second round will surely not be difficult for that kid.”

”I hope so.”

Du Xinghe smiled and nodded, but his heart was slightly moved. The reason Tang Huan did not take action must be because he was still trying to deduce the dao diagram. If he had only analyzed one or two dao diagrams in the ”Nine Diagram Dao Disc”, he definitely wouldn’t need that much time. He might have been trying to deduce even more dao diagrams.

After successfully deducing many dao diagrams, he would then begin to activate them …

This was indeed a method. Although it involved taking great risks, it was not without precedent in the past ”Heavenly Arts Competition”. In those cases, there were successes and failures.

Of course, the number of people who failed far surpassed the number of people who succeeded, moreover, once they failed, it was basically not fated to be in the third round of the competition. After all, after deducing so many dao diagrams, one would have to spend a lot of time, and one would not even have the time to deduce other new dao diagrams.

”With this kid’s attainments, I guess he won’t fail.”

After thinking about that, Du Xinghe’s emotions immediately calmed down, but as time passed, and seeing that Tang Huan still had not made a move, the doubt in the eyes of the surrounding people became even stronger, and there were even many experts from the sects whose expressions revealed ridicule, causing his confidence to waver a little.

”Rustle, rustle …”

There was less and less sand left at the top of the hourglass.

”The fifth Dao Diagram!” ”The fifth Dao Diagram!”

Suddenly, a burst of exclamations came from the surroundings. It was the fifth type of resplendent luster that rose from the Dao plate in front of Zhang Yi, causing his face to look even more handsome. The five colors of light indicated that Zhang Yiren had successfully activated five dao diagrams.

It was very rare for someone to achieve such a result in the second round of the Heavenly Arts Competition.

”The situation has been decided!”

Catching the earth-shaking shouts, Zhang Yi let out a long breath. His two eyes swept across the hourglass on the stage as his lips curled up into a smile.

Looking at the sand on top of the hourglass, it would only take a few dozen breaths at most.

Currently, Sun Yingwu, Tao Yanghui, and Hua Xiaoyan had only successfully activated four dao diagrams. Even if they had successfully activated five dao diagrams at the last moment, they were still far behind him. Moreover, whether they could successfully activate another dao diagram was still unknown.

As for that Tang Huan …

He still hasn’t activated a dao diagram?

In this regard, Zhang Yi Ren was extremely doubtful, but in addition to his doubts, he was also extremely disappointed. Tang Huan, the number one opponent that he had placed extreme importance on, had actually performed so unbearably in the second round of the competition. Defeating such a Tang Huan, had really left him with no sense of accomplishment.

He did not know why Tang Huan was able to reach such a level in the second round, but it was no longer important.

In the third round, Tang Huan would no longer be his opponent.

With only a little bit of time left, no matter how much more godly might Tang Huan displayed, it was still impossible for him to activate the three dao diagrams, enough to allow him to pass through the second round.

”What a pity!”

While thinking, Zhang Yi Man retracted his gaze from Tang Huan, he thought to himself, but there was no regret on his face, and instead a mocking smile was plastered on his face, he calmed his mind, and quietly waited for the second round to end.

”Boom —”

But just at that moment, a deafening cry rang out.

On the high platform, Du Xinghe, Xue Yu, and the experts from the various sects all stood up at the same time. One by one, their gazes looked towards the same spot in the arena, and their eyes were filled with unconcealable shock, as if they had discovered an extremely inconceivable situation.
