Chapter 1474: Dao Disc Shine
If there was success, there would naturally be failure.
Some of the low-grade Heaven's Arts gradually gained a second color, or even a third color. However, there were even more low-grade Heaven's Arts that had just successfully activated the second dao diagram, and then the entire "Nine Diagram Dao Disc" had dimmed down. There were even some that failed after the third dao diagram was activated.
As a result, the buzzing sounds were mixed with annoyed sighs and depressed curses from time to time.
"..."
"That Tang Huan's performance in the first round was so astonishing, why is there suddenly no movement in the second round?"
"It's really strange, could it be that Tang Huan's ability to control firepower is extremely strong, but his ability to deduce dao diagrams is relatively ordinary? That's not right, no matter how ordinary it is, how could someone who can forge a perfect Dao Artifact not even be able to successfully activate a single dao diagram?"
"Could it be that Tang Huan is brewing some kind of big move?"
"..."
"Haha, this second round still depends on our Qian Yuan Sky Sect. It's only been half an hour, and Senior Brother Zhang, Senior Brother Sun, and Senior Brother Tao have all successfully activated three dao diagrams. They have already passed the second round, and that woman from Limitless Temple is not bad either. She has also successfully activated three dao diagrams."
"Tang Huan? He hasn't even succeeded in a single dao diagram. If he were to be eliminated in the second round, that would be too funny. "
"There's still half an hour left. He shouldn't be eliminated, but if he wants to catch up to Zhang Yi Ren, Sun Yingwu, and Tao Yanghui, he probably won't have any hope at all."
"..."
The surroundings of the arena were filled with noise.
Originally, many of the cultivators who were looking forward to Tang Huan's performance in the second round were extremely puzzled. As time passed, seeing that Tang Huan still did not make any movements, their confidence in Tang Huan also rapidly faded. The cultivators of the Heaven's Expanse Sect or the Limitless Temple that were hidden in the crowd were ridiculing him incessantly.
On the high platform, Xue Yu was also rather suspicious: "Brother Du, what's the situation with that Tang Huan from your Heavenly Palace?"
"This old man isn't sure either."
Du Xinghe shook his head and exchanged glances with Liu Tiangang and He Qingzhu. He couldn't help but frown and see the deep bewilderment in each other's eyes.
In the first round, they were extremely calm, because they were very clear on how powerful Tang Huan's method of controlling firepower was, and they had personally witnessed it in the Heavenly Imperial City's general election. Furthermore, with their Perception Ability, they could also sense the strangeness hidden within the flames in Tang Huan's palm.
However, the second round of the Heavenly Arts Competition was a test of one's ability to deduce. 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 definitely wouldn't be unable to even activate a single successful dao diagram. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Tang Huan to successfully forge so many perfect low-grade Dao artifacts. If a Dao Artifact wanted to reach that level of quality, the requirements for the dao diagram were extremely high.
"This little fellow's actions have always been unexpected. Perhaps he has other considerations, so he didn't immediately activate the dao diagram." Liu Tiangang laughed.
"That's right, this old man also believes that the little fellow's ability to deduce dao diagrams isn't too bad."
Hearing this, Xue Yu nodded and smiled, "There's still more than a quarter of an hour. There's still plenty of time. This second round will definitely not be a problem for that little fellow."
"I hope so."
Du Xinghe nodded with a smile, but his heart was slightly moved. The reason why Tang Huan did not make a move all this time must be because he was still deducing the dao diagram. If he was only deducing one or two dao diagrams from the "Nine Diagram Dao Disc", he definitely wouldn't need such a long time.
After successfully deducing many dao diagrams, he would then begin to activate them …
This was indeed a method. Although it required a huge risk, it was not like there were no precedents in the past "Heavenly Arts Competition". In those examples, there were those who succeeded, and there were those who failed.
Of course, the number of people who failed far exceeded the number of people who succeeded. Moreover, once they failed, they would basically have no chance of entering the third round of the competition. After all, after deducing so many dao diagrams, they would have already spent a large amount of time. There was simply no time to deduce other new dao diagrams.
"With this little fellow's attainments, I don't think he will fail."
After thinking about this, Du Xinghe's state of mind immediately calmed down. But as time continued to pass, seeing that Tang Huan still did not make any movements, the suspicion in the eyes of the surrounding people became even stronger. There were even quite a few experts from the sects who had expressions of ridicule on their faces, 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! "
A burst of exclamations suddenly sounded out from the surroundings of the arena. It was the fifth type of dazzling luster that rose from the Dao plate in front of Zhang Yi Ren, illuminating his face to make him look even more handsome than before. Five different colors of luster meant that Zhang Yi Ren had successfully activated five dao diagrams.
The Heavenly Arts Competition had been held so many times, but it was extremely rare for someone to have such a result in the second round.
"The outcome has been decided!"
Catching the earth-shaking shouts from his surroundings, Zhang Yi Ren let out a long sigh. His gaze swept across the hourglass on the high platform, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but curl up into a slight smile.
Looking at the sand at the top of the hourglass, it would at most be a matter of a few dozen breaths.
Right now, Sun Yingwu, Tao Yanghui, and Hua Xiaoyan had only successfully activated four dao diagrams. Even if they were to successfully activate five dao diagrams at the last moment, they would still be behind him. Furthermore, it was still unknown whether or not they would be able to successfully activate another dao diagram.
As for that Tang Huan …
He still hadn't activated a single dao diagram?
In regards to this, Zhang Yi Ren was extremely suspicious, and in addition to his suspicions, he was also extremely disappointed. Tang Huan, the number one opponent that he had placed great importance on, had actually performed so badly in the second round of the competition. Defeating such a Tang Huan really did not give him any sense of accomplishment.
He didn't know why Tang Huan was at such a high level in the second round, but it didn't matter anymore.
In the third round, his opponent would no longer be Tang Huan.
With only such a small amount of time left, no matter how much divine might Tang Huan displayed, it would be impossible for him to activate the three dao diagrams that were enough to pass the second round.
"What a pity!"
While thinking, Zhang Yi Ren retracted his gaze from Tang Huan's body and thought to himself. However, there was not the slightest bit of regret on his face. Instead, the corner of his mouth curled up into a mocking smile, and he calmly looked at the hourglass on the stage, waiting for the second round to end.
"Boom —"
But right at this moment, a deafening cry of alarm suddenly rang out.
