Cheshire was a little unsatisfied, but the crossword wheel didn't allow him to try again, so he could only step down regretfully.
Miao Yi had no intention of going up. Cheshire sat back down and said, "There's no need to wipe. Just change your clothes." He was urging him to try.
In the end, Miao Yi tilted his head to the beautiful Second Senior Sister and nodded, gesturing for her to go up. His clothes were dirty, but he didn't want to be the most honored guest.
Xia Nan 'er didn't stand on ceremony. Seeing that Ming Zhao didn't object, she stood up and went up to the stage to pay her respects. After listening to the Saintess' advice, she immediately focused and stared at the wheel in silence. She pondered for a long time before trying to move the wheel and fill in the words.
Even after thinking for a long time, she couldn't change the result. Elder Mu Sen extended his hand and invited her down. Saintess Mu Na quickly returned the crossword wheel to its original position.
Miao Yi was determined not to go up. After Xia Nan 'er came back, the next person went up to try. Regardless of whether she succeeded or not, it was an eye-opener.
The result was the same. She returned in failure, and another person went up.
Even when it was Zhongli Kuai's turn, he still failed. One by one, the eleven Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers retreated one by one. Including Ming Zhao, all twelve of them had their turns. They were all very regretful that none of them could become the most distinguished guest of the elf tribe.
However, Elder Mu Sen clearly didn't want to let go of any 'fish that slipped through the net'. He stared straight at Miao Yi. The scene was silent. Everyone's gaze was on Miao Yi.
This bullying made Ming Zhao clench his fist and cough. "Sir, go up and try. You won't lose anything."
Miao Yi laughed dryly. "I'll pass. Even you guys can't pass the test. I won't embarrass myself."
Who would have thought that Elder Mu Sen would rudely say, "Those who don't want to accept the test will be regarded as looking down on our tribe. This forest will not welcome them. If you don't want to accept the test, please leave now!"
"..." Miao Yi was speechless. 'No way. You're kicking me out if I don't play? That serious? '
"Sir!" Ming Zhao frowned and nodded, gesturing for him to go up. Actually, it wasn't important whether Miao Yi stayed or not. It didn't matter if Miao Yi left. More importantly, Ming Zhao didn't want to offend the people of the elf tribe because of this. After all, he still had to search for items in their territory in the coming days.
What else could Miao Yi say when the other party had already put it this way? There was no way he would leave now. If he didn't find the Unparalleled Demonic Art, he wouldn't be willing to leave. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come all the way here. He could only go on stage.
However, it didn't matter. If he wanted to play, so be it. He wouldn't lose anything anyway. If he didn't want to receive that kind of warm treatment just now, at most, he would just mess around and definitely fail the test! Miao Yi muttered to himself as he stood up and walked up to the stage.
Miao Yi's entire body was stained green by the wine when he stepped onto the stage. He walked up to the metal plate and cupped his fists in greeting, then casually swept his gaze across the densely packed words on the plate. He didn't think too much of it. Just as he shifted his gaze to Saintess Mu Na's face, he suddenly froze.
Saintess Mu Na's eyes were clear and bright. Her entire body was clean and beautiful, and when he looked at her up close, he felt even more pure than before. While she was explaining to Miao Yi how to pass the test, Miao Yi felt as if he had been pricked by a needle. His gaze slowly shifted back to the crossword puzzle, and he stared blankly at the words on the puzzle that he had almost missed just now. His pupils abruptly shrank, and he stood there in a daze. Even after Saintess Mu Na finished speaking, he still didn't react.
Others might find these words strange, but to Miao Yi, they were words he couldn't be more familiar with. These were the first eight words of the Sixteen Words of Mantra, the opening chapter of the Fiery Star Technique. How could he not know?
Miao Yi's reaction was a little off. His back was facing the people below, so they couldn't see it. They thought he was thinking about how to complete the crossword puzzle.
However, Saintess Mu Na clearly noticed it. She turned to look at Elder Mu Sen, and Elder Mu Sen also noticed Miao Yi's abnormality. When Miao Yi lost his composure and his pupils suddenly shrank, Elder Mu Sen instantly held his breath. He quietly watched Miao Yi's reaction, and could vaguely tell that he was looking forward to it.
On the other hand, Miao Yi's heart was tumbling like a raging storm. How could the first eight words of the Fiery Star Technique's opening Sixteen Syllables Mantra appear here? Could it be a coincidence? If it was a coincidence, then why did the first eight words coincide, and the last eight words just happened to be missing? Could it be that the Fiery Star Technique also came from the Boundless Secular World? Or perhaps it came from the Greater Realm? Otherwise, why would the opening chapter of the Sixteen Words of Mantra appear here?
As he gradually regained his composure, Miao Yi lifted his bewildered gaze and looked at Saintess Mu Na, then at Elder Mu Sen, as if trying to find some clues from their expressions. However, Mu Na's expression and gaze were very pure, and Elder Mu Sen's expression was also very calm. He couldn't find any clues.
Elder Mu Sen noticed the bewilderment in Miao Yi's eyes. He smiled and extended his hand, inviting, "Esteemed Guest, if you have thought it through, please begin!"
Miao Yi's bewildered gaze slowly returned to the word completion disc. He was now considering whether or not he should fill in the last eight words of the opening chapter of the Fiery Star Technique. If it was a coincidence, then filling in the last eight words of the Sixteen Words of Mantra wouldn't be a big deal. If it wasn't a coincidence, then he was worried that he would attract some sort of trouble. Why would he use the opening chapter of the Fiery Star Technique as a test? What was the relationship between this tribe of demons and the Fiery Star Technique?
Should he seriously fill in the answer in his heart, or just randomly fill in the answer? He was very conflicted. He wanted to find out the answer, but he was also afraid of attracting some sort of trouble. It was rare for him to be in such a dilemma.
After thinking it over, Miao Yi gradually made up his mind. He wanted to see if this word completion disc had anything to do with the Fiery Star Technique. Perhaps he was overthinking things.
Others wouldn't be able to understand how tempting the words' arts follow one's heart, the extremities of Yin and Yang 'were to him. This was because it had something to do with the cultivation technique he cultivated, and the cultivation technique that allowed him to reach where he was today.
In the end, just as Ming Zhao and the others were frowning slightly, wondering if Miao Yi was taking too long to consider it, Miao Yi's gaze swept across the metal disc for a while. He extended his index finger and tapped on a 'Xing' character. He slowly rotated the circle, moving the 'Xing' character into an upward trajectory. It left the circle, and gently pushed it upwards, filling in the first of the eight empty spots.
After stopping, Miao Yi's finger tapped down once more, hitting another 'Star' character. Once again, he circled around and slid upwards. As he slowly moved towards the second empty spot, his gaze shifted to Saintess Mu Na and Elder Mu Sen, hoping to see something from their expressions.
However, the two of them were also staring at the disc, and didn't reveal anything out of the ordinary. If Elder Mu Sen was hiding something, then what about Holy Maiden Mu Na? No matter how Miao Yi looked at it, Holy Maiden Mu Na didn't seem like someone who would lie. It was as though her purity came from deep within her bones. It was as though there wasn't a second pair of eyes as pure as hers. It was as though even the wind couldn't bear to blow into her eyes. It was as though she had never been tainted in the slightest. She definitely didn't seem like someone who would lie.
If even someone like her could lie, then Miao Yi could only say that this Holy Maiden Mu Na was even worse than Ba Jie.
The more they acted like this, the more suspicious Miao Yi became. Either his answer was wrong, or the two of them didn't know the real answer. Otherwise, why couldn't he see anything out of the ordinary?
Miao Yi's fingers moved a little faster, and stopped the second word at the empty spot. Then, he tapped on the 'Zhi' character below the circle, carefully observing their reactions as he pushed it forward.
Seeing that the two of them were still paying attention to him, Miao Yi gritted his teeth, found the last five words, and pushed them forward one by one. The words were: A fire can start a prairie fire.
When the words were in place, they were: A single spark can start a prairie fire!
The first sixteen words of the synthesized Fiery Star Mantra were: The art follows the heart. The extremity of Yin and Yang. A single spark can start a prairie fire!
Miao Yi's fingers completely left the word completion disc. He lowered his hands and lifted his head to observe Elder Mu Sen's reaction.
Elder Mu Sen was also staring at the word completion disc, a hint of disappointment flashing across his eyes. He lifted his head to look at Miao Yi, and slightly raised his hand, gesturing for him to leave.
Miao Yi secretly heaved a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, 'I knew it. How could there be such a coincidence? I really was overthinking it. It seems like the first eight words were indeed coincidental with the first sixteen words of the Fiery Star Mantra.'
Miao Yi cupped his fists and was about to leave the stage. However, just as he turned around, Elder Mu Sen raised his hand to signal for the two male demons standing nearby to come over and carry the metal disc away. Suddenly, the metal disc let out a crisp 'kacha' sound.
Miao Yi, who was about to take a step forward, suddenly froze in his tracks. He turned around to look, and was instantly stunned.
The 'kacha' sound gradually turned into a series of 'kacha' sounds. The densely packed words suddenly came alive. Without anyone controlling them, they began to spin on their own, 'kacha' sounds. The words spun rapidly, dazzling everyone's eyes.
Saintess Mu Na's clear eyes were wide open, her face filled with disbelief.
Elder Mu Sen's eyes were also wide open, and his breathing had become abnormally rapid. The staff in his hand was actually trembling slightly as he stared fixedly at the changes on the word completion disc.
Miao Yi was bewildered, and once again turned around to look at the changes on the word completion disc.
The 'kacha' sounds on the stage caused Ming Zhao to stand up. He was also bewildered. Cheshire and the others also stood up and looked at each other. Could it be that Niu Youde had filled in the correct answer?
They really wanted to go up and see what was going on, but they couldn't be reckless. They could only stand below, their hearts itching.
All the male and female demons seated below also stood up, and quietly looked up.
At this moment, not a sound could be heard. The only sound was the continuous' kacha 'sounds of the word completion disc on the stage. In between, the sound of' kacha 'sounds could be heard.
