BTTH: DISCIPLE CASHBACK SYSTEM

Chapter 372: A Grand Entrance!

“Hehe, Little Yue’er, Mr. Yan Xiao, you two should head to your respective positions. Those spots were specially prepared for you and will make you the center of attention,” Fa Ma said as he pointed toward the central area of the plaza. There, a few large stone platforms stood out. Not only were they more spacious than the others, but their foundations were also higher, making those standing on them the undeniable focal point of the entire crowd.

“Thank you, President Fa Ma!”

Xiao Yan, not one to enjoy the spotlight, still politely cupped his hands in thanks. Beside him, Princess Yao Yue was clearly excited, eager to show off.

“Good, good, you two go ahead,” Fa Ma smiled and nodded.

“Alright!”

The princess responded cheerfully. With a graceful leap, her body seemed to float as gently as a falling leaf, descending effortlessly from the platform. Her elegant movements resembled a celestial maiden’s descent, captivating everyone present.

“Roar! Roar!”

The little princess’s stunning display immediately stirred the crowd, and her cute, lively demeanor caused deafening cheers to erupt from both the VIP section and the audience stands.

“Hehe, old man Jia, I didn’t expect you to teach that little girl your ‘Floating Feather’ technique. I’ve always said that your movement technique is better suited for women,” Fa Ma teased, watching the princess’s gravity-defying descent.

“She’s only learned the basics of it, more focused on appearances. If she used it in a real fight, she’d be an easy target,” Jia Xingtian replied with a chuckle. Though his words seemed critical, the pride in his eyes revealed his satisfaction with the princess’s performance.

After exchanging a few more words with Jia Xingtian, Fa Ma turned to Xiao Yan and said, “Mr. Yan Xiao, it’s your turn to enter the arena!”

“With Mr. Yan Xiao’s strength, his entrance will surely be spectacular,” Princess Yao Ye added with a smile.

“Yes, those youngsters down there can’t compare to Brother Yan Xiao!” Nalan Jie chimed in, standing up to praise him.

“Everyone, here goes Yan Xiao!”

Under this flurry of compliments, Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment. He had originally intended to keep a low profile, but now he had no choice but to show off a little. The next moment, he gently tapped the ground with his toes and leaped into the air.

As the wind whistled past his ears, Xiao Yan remained calm, his hands unmoving as he let himself freefall in a straight line.

The crowd below watched in shock as Xiao Yan descended rapidly, with no signs of slowing down. Some of the more timid young women quickly covered their eyes, fearing they might witness a gruesome scene.

Just as everyone stared wide-eyed, wondering if this seemingly skilled young man would crash into the ground and turn into a bloody mess, Xiao Yan finally made his move. His hand shot out, aiming toward the ground. In an instant, a powerful surge of invisible energy exploded from his palm, slamming into the stone floor. A crack split open the ground where his energy struck.

Using the rebound from the force, Xiao Yan’s rapid descent slowed significantly. His body spiraled through the air like a spinning top, and whenever his energy began to fade, he would casually strike out with his palm again. The resulting upward airflow and the counterforce from his descent created a perfect balance. Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, Xiao Yan’s body spun gracefully as he moved toward the center of the plaza.

“Such exquisite control of airflow! At such a young age, he’s able to move through the air without wings. Even many veteran Dou King experts can’t achieve that!” Jia Xingtian and Fa Ma both exclaimed in surprise and admiration as they watched Xiao Yan spiral across the square.

“Heh, Brother Yan Xiao really likes to keep a low profile,” Nalan Jie murmured. “He could have easily used his Dou Qi wings to fly down, but in this setting, his method is even more impressive than flying directly!”

“This guy’s got real skill!” Even Hai Bodong couldn’t help but admire Xiao Yan’s maneuver.

Under the wide-eyed stares of the thousands of contestants below, Xiao Yan's body swiftly spiraled toward the central platform. As his rotation slowed, he tapped the air lightly with his toes, flipping gracefully in midair like a gourd rolling downward. After a few more rotations, he landed smoothly, one hand gently touching the ground. Rising calmly, he dusted off his hands and looked up at the seemingly endless sea of spectators.

Clap! Clap!

"That was awesome!"

"Yeah! Way to go!"

A momentary silence followed Xiao Yan’s landing, but soon the plaza erupted with deafening applause, cheers, and excited screams. The competition hadn’t even officially begun, yet this young man had already given the crowd an unforgettable entrance.

With just this perfect entrance, countless young women in the crowd were instantly mesmerized by the young alchemist in his black robe.

“This guy is hilarious. He’s only at the peak of the Dou Master level, yet he’s putting on the aura of a Dou King!” Hidden on an unremarkable stone platform, Xiao Yi Xian couldn’t help but chuckle at Xiao Yan’s display.

Amid the waves of cheers, Xiao Yan remained composed and slowly turned around. During this process, he caught a glimpse of Liu Ling, whose face was strained as he tried to hold back his laughter. A bead of sweat appeared on Xiao Yan’s forehead.

“Ha!”

At that moment, Liu Ling could no longer suppress his amusement and burst into laughter.

This sudden outburst drew the attention of those around him.

“Who is that? Why’s he suddenly laughing?”

“He’s the top disciple of Alchemy King Gu He. He’s probably jealous that someone else stole the spotlight and is trying to cause trouble.”

“That could be true. The guy who just came down caught even Princess Yao Ye’s attention!”

Hearing the murmurs around him, Liu Ling shook his head in mild exasperation and chose to ignore the whispers. His gaze shifted back to the stone platform.

On the stone platform, there was a neatly arranged set of medicinal ingredients. In front of the ingredients lay a thin piece of paper, resting quietly. Additionally, a jade mirror embedded in the stone flickered with faint green and red lights.

Picking up the thin paper, Liu Ling skimmed through it, realizing it was a recipe for a second-tier pill. However, the recipe seemed hastily copied, with the ingredient quantities and other details sloppily written. It was far from a proper, well-structured formula.
