Chapter 730: 730 Official Showdown! Globally Anticipated [Part 2]

A member of a branch of the Rong Family wouldn’t cause the main family to pursue them, even if killed.

Even if Rong Family truly pursues them, they’d have to see if they have the ability to do it.

Si Minghe’s expression froze: "Yes, Patriarch."

Si Clan Patriarch asked again: "Moreover, has there been any progress with Xiao Shu’s illness?"

"No." Si Minghe sighed, "That Mei En has a peculiar temperament, unwilling to let the young lady see a doctor. The Northern Lands are currently full of psychics, extremely dangerous. Let me send the young lady back to the family first."

"Alright." Si Clan Patriarch said, "Xiao Shu cannot meet too many strangers; that will worsen her condition. Let her return and rest well."

Si Minghe respectfully said: "Understood."

Two days later, Yunjing, Lin Family.

"Miss Shiyuan, today is the day of the Spirit Summoning Battle draw." Steward Lin respectfully said, "Young Master Rong Qi and the Young Temple Master from Penglai Observatory are seed players. They won’t face Main Romanov, Si Minghe of the Si Family, Victoria Monroe, or other seed players until the finals."

This season of the Spirit Summoning Battle has nine seed players.

Seed players go directly to the finals and won’t participate in the preliminary elimination rounds.

And in the end, only one ordinary player will remain to compete in the finals, vying for the top prize against the nine seed players.

"Hmm." Lin Shiyuan said indifferently, "The chances of the Rong Family obtaining the Infinite Ruler are slim. Keep an eye on them."

Steward Lin agreed: "Besides Young Master Rong Qi, the Rong Family has sent a branch member, a woman named Rong Si."

Lin Shiyuan suddenly stopped playing the guqin.

"Miss Shiyuan?" Steward Lin thought he had misspoken.

"This Rong Si can’t possibly be a branch member of the Rong Family." Lin Shiyuan’s eyes narrowed, "How could the Rong Family send someone useless all the way to the Northern Lands for the Spirit Summoning Battle concerning the Infinite Ruler?"

Because she had never heard of the name Rong Si before.

Steward Lin was taken aback: "What do you mean, Miss Shiyuan?"

"Someone has borrowed this identity and needs a legitimate title to participate in the Spirit Summoning Battle." Lin Shiyuan said coldly, "Investigate!"

Steward Lin was shocked, quickly responded: "Yes, Miss Shiyuan!"

He hurried away, moments later, a voice echoed: "Shiyuan, I found something very important after recent contemplation."

Lin Shiyuan lowered her head and touched the strings of the guqin.

"Heaven-reaching Tower sent people into Yunjing, seemingly investigating something." The voice continued, "That person’s strength is unfathomable; they even detected my existence."

Lin Shiyuan’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Though seated in Yunjing, she was not disconnected from affairs outside Shenzhou Land Continent.

She had been gathering intelligence on Heaven-reaching Tower.

"Do not act rashly." Lin Shiyuan said with a deep tone, "Let’s see what exactly Heaven-reaching Tower intends to do first."

The world is indeed about to be thrown into chaos.

**

Northern Lands, Spirit Summoning Battle show site.

The draw has finished, and all ordinary players are divided into four zones: A, B, C, and D, each with twelve people, totaling forty-eight.

Each of these twelve people in each zone forms pairs, facing off against each other.

Si Minghe reviewed the draw results and quickly found Ye Wanlan’s opponent.

It was a young man who clearly recognized Si Minghe, looking somewhat fearful: "Mi-Miss Minghe!"

Si Minghe asked: "Are you Rong Si’s first opponent?"

"Yes, Miss Minghe." The young man said with flattery, "Is there anything you wish?"

"Your strength is still too weak; you probably won’t harm her." Si Minghe’s eyes showed some disdain.

The young man dared not speak nor express anger: "At your command, Miss Minghe, so long as the Si Family can..."

"During your duel with her, find a way to smear this substance onto her clothes." Si Minghe tossed him a medicine bottle, "If successful, you can become a guest at the Si Family."

Upon hearing this, the young man was overjoyed: "Thank you, Miss Minghe, I will complete your task!"

"Hmm." Si Minghe waved her hand, "Go."

"Miss Minghe, can he truly accomplish this?" The Chief Guard asked, "He’s just a Loose Cultivator, and you said that Rong Si’s strength is no less than yours. Though the elimination rounds test something other than spiritual abilities, he might not withstand a single move from her."

"Therefore, we can’t rely on him alone." Si Minghe coldly said, "We must find more people. Eventually, Rong Si will realize she’s already caught in our net."

No matter what, she wouldn’t escape!

The program began immediately after the draw.

There were fifty thousand spectators on site, while major global social media platforms were also broadcasting live.

[Young Master Rong Qi and Taoist Xing Yue are seed players, so they don’t participate in the preliminary rounds.]

[Isn’t there still Rong Si? We can watch her performance, though I have never heard her name before.]

[The Rong Family has over a thousand members, plus they follow the Great Purity Sect. They live reclusively, so how could we know their names?]

[Hopefully, this Rong Si won’t embarrass Shenzhou and the Great Purity Sect!]

Ye Wanlan was in the C zone, the only Eastern face there. Even the human skin mask was conspicuous.

"Greetings, audience friends. We’re meeting again, as the first round of elimination in this season’s Spirit Summoning Battle officially commences —" the host began, "Let’s see what the first task is; ah, a simple little game."

Here, she paused for a moment, and said mysteriously: "I believe any psychic here has this capability, the game is — audience friends, please shout its name aloud!"

The audience excitedly shouted in unison: "Perception Game!"

"Correct, it’s the Perception Game," the host said while presenting a card, "Even if one isn’t a psychic, anyone with strong perception should know what card I’m holding."

After speaking, she tossed the card aside and laughed: "But for psychics with the strongest perception, merely perceiving the card is far too simple."

Ye Wanlan continued to relax with her eyes closed.

Perception is indeed the most fundamental ability of a psychic, for anyone who can communicate with the Yin Yang Five Elements has formidable perception.

In fact, martial artists and art practitioners at a certain level can also cultivate powerful perception.

"So, today’s perception game is about confirming the contents of these envelopes," the host continued, "Of course, any contestant who can disclose more information will earn bonus points. Contestants have three minutes to prepare; we begin immediately."

Quickly, staff members took out six envelopes.

The young man remembered Si Minghe’s task clearly. He received an envelope, held his breath, and pressed his hand, pre-applied with the potion, onto the envelope.

The potion was colorless and odorless, drying immediately without altering the envelope.

To outsiders, his actions appeared perfectly normal, including several cameras.

Three minutes later, the young man returned the envelope to the staff.

The staff collected the envelope and approached Ye Wanlan, presenting it.

Ye Wanlan’s gaze paused, then she calmly said, "That’s enough."

Upon hearing this, everyone was astounded!

The young man widened his eyes, incredulously staring at the girl.

He had been using the touch method to perceive for a full three minutes; how did she manage without even three seconds?

The audience watched as the girl simply glanced at the envelope without touching it and completed perceiving?!

Even among the nine seed players, the level of perception is no more than this!

[Has she truly finished perceiving, or is she pretending to maintain composure for fear of exposure due to sensing nothing?]

[Definitely sensing nothing! With such strong perception, she’d already be a seed player.]

[What use is pretending now? She’ll embarrass herself globally when she knows nothing during the questioning.]

At this moment, under the global live camera, everyone was awaiting Ye Wanlan’s downfall.
