Suddenly, everyone's eyes looked towards the incense! If the incense were to go out, it would mean that time was up, and Su Luo would leave this game with only deep regret.
Just as the blade of wind approached the incense--
A ball of flame burst out, flying fiercely towards the wind blade.
With a cracking sound, the wind blade was intercepted and fell apart, and the flames flared up into the sky.
When everyone saw that cluster of flames, their eyes seemed about to fall out. Wasn’t this flame the same element as the flame that was being controlled over there? Was Su Luo able to control the flames to hit the bullseyes, while still having room to protect the incense?
At this moment, everyone stared at Su Luo with shock!
While the others were panting and sweating, trying to control the flames to hit the targets, only Su Luo still remained calm and relaxed, her mind untroubled, without sweating, and she hadn’t even frowned once.
"Fifty!"
"Fifty two!"
"Fifty four!"
Subconsciously, people started counting how many bullseyes Su Luo's flames pierced through.
At this point, Fairy Wu You's complexion was so obscure that it seemed as if water could drip out, gloomy and dark like a clouded sky.
"It's almost there, almost there! She’s close to surpassing the fifty-six marks of Fairy Wu You! Just push a bit farther!" There were some who couldn’t help but yell.
There were a few people who voiced their agreement with this sentence. Even if Fairy Wu You wanted to retaliate, she couldn’t take it out on the crowd, as she couldn't find out which people were doing so.
At this moment, all eyes were fixed on the flames, and all of them were becoming excited over this, as if they were the ones controlling the flames, and they became extremely solemn in their concentration, holding their breaths.
There was a slight smile in Su Luo’s eyes as she controlled the flames to quickly move forwards.
"Fifty-six!"
"Fairy Wu You’s record is broken, it’s broken! Fairy Wu You has lost!" Someone reveled.
Fairy Wu You lost? This was unthinkable for almost everyone, because in their minds, Fairy Wu You had always been infinitely elevated above all others, and she was always ranked first in the class.
But now, Su Luo had actually surpassed her!
"Quickly look, Su Luo is still going!" No one knew who shouted this out, but everyone’s attention became focused on Su Luo once again.
"Fifty eight!"
"Sixty two!"
"Sixty five!!!"
"Damn! Is Su Luo really thinking of making it through all of the bullseyes? Can’t she let the rest of us have some room to breath?"
Human nature was a very strange thing. If Su Luo had surpassed them only a little bit, then they would be jealous and dissatisfied, but now that Su Luo was so much better than them, they knew they could only look up to her, so they all began to admire and idolize Su Luo.
"Sixty eight!"
"Seventy!"
"Seventy two!"
"The incense is almost burnt out, hurry, hurry up!!!"
Someone glanced at the incense, and became anxious, so much so that their throat was about to become hoarse from screaming. He was more worked up than the contestants themselves.
It was a case of the emperor being not in a hurry, but rather the eunuchs were the ones filled with anxiety. These people almost stomped their feet out of agitation while Su Luo still remained calm, going at her leisure, the flames she was controlling flying forward at a constant speed.
"Seventy four!!!"
"Seventy six!!!"
In the midst of a last wave of cheering, the incense finally burned out, completing its mission in history.
At this moment, everyone turned and fixed their gazes upon Su Luo, causing her to feel somewhat embarrassed.
