"One move."

Just as Hun Doulol was filled with shock, Hun Xiu raised his head to look at her standing in the air and spoke calmly.

"..."

Hearing Hun Xiu's words, Hun Doulol was momentarily stunned before she understood.

"Fine, Hun Xiu, you're impressive." Hun Doulol gave him a thumbs-up in praise.

Standing in midair, she looked down at Hun Xiu below and said helplessly, "Hun Xiu, honestly, you're very strong. I admit that I'm no match for you."

"You said you would give me three moves, and I know I can't defeat you within three moves. My final outcome can only be one thing: defeat."

"But..."

Hun Doulol's tone suddenly shifted. Her voice was resolute, and an astonishing aura erupted from her body.

"But I still won't admit defeat."

"I, Hun Doulol, have my own pride. Surrendering is impossible."

"Even if I still lose after three moves, I'll lose beautifully."

"Now, prepare to receive my second move!"

As soon as she finished speaking,

Hun Doulol gave Hun Xiu no chance to respond. She extended a slender, scallion-like finger, and as her cultivation technique circulated within her body, the energy between heaven and earth began to churn violently.

Extreme Wind Finger.

Hun Doulol pressed her tiny finger toward Hun Xiu. In the void, an invisible finger tore through space and emerged from it. Its momentum was astonishing; the finger was enormous, shrouding the heavens and blotting out the sun, while wild winds howled all around it with overwhelming force.

"Gasp..."

The onlookers in the square all sucked in a cold breath as they watched the enormous finger tear out of the sky, utterly shocked.

"Hun Doulol can actually use Extreme Wind Finger at the Dou Wang realm. That's truly terrifying. You have to know that Extreme Wind Finger is a high-grade Earth Tier combat technique. With one finger, gods and ghosts are destroyed. Its power is even comparable to a Heaven Tier combat technique."

"Isn't that right? I was interested in Extreme Wind Finger too, but I was never able to master it. Otherwise, why are they heaven-blessed geniuses while we're nothing?"

"Do you think Hun Xiu will make a move? This Extreme Wind Finger is nothing like the previous Eight Extremes Great Gale. Its power is terrifying."

"Make a move? Have you forgotten what Hun Xiu said earlier? If he makes a move, he'll concede this match. So he definitely won't act."

"But if he doesn't act, can he withstand Extreme Wind Finger?"

"Who knows?"

After the initial shock came another wave of uproar. Everyone discussed animatedly, waiting eagerly for a good show.

On the high platform,

Gu Yuan nodded slightly. "This Hun Doulol is not bad. She can use an Earth Tier combat technique with the strength of an eight-star Dou Wang. Although its power is somewhat lacking, it is still a high-grade Earth Tier combat technique."

"After this finger strike, there shouldn't be much Dou Qi left in her body. If she wants to use another combat technique of this level for her third move, she will likely have to pay a tremendous price."

"Mhm."

Soul Emperor nodded slightly in agreement. "Indeed, Hun Doulol is quite good. Among the younger generation, she can be considered outstanding. If she hadn't encountered Xiu'er in the first match, she would certainly have achieved a good ranking in the Clan Competition."

He then sighed softly. "What a pity. Hun Doulol met Xiu'er, so her first match is destined to end in defeat."

The other Hun Clan elders on the platform nodded slightly after hearing the analysis of Gu Yuan and Soul Emperor, the two great figures. They agreed with them deeply.

There was no other reason—they thought the same.

Only Gu Xun'er sat in her chair, her bright eyes fixed intently on the white-clad, sword-wielding figure atop the arena.

All her thoughts were focused on that white-clad figure.

The enormous finger shadow descended from the sky like a pillar supporting the heavens, crashing toward Hun Xiu on the arena with terrifying pressure.

Hun Xiu looked up. As the gigantic finger shadow fell, he could clearly sense the oppressive force it carried.

The descending pressure was accompanied by the force of countless gales. As they struck Hun Xiu's face, they were like blades slashing across it.

His white robes fluttered, his dark hair becoming disheveled in the wild wind. Even his snow-white robes seemed as though they were about to be torn apart by the gale.

Hun Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly and murmured, "A high-grade Earth Tier combat technique, with power comparable to the Heaven Tier."

Through the howling wind, Hun Xiu could see a trace of pallor appear on the pretty face of the white-clad girl standing in the air.

Clearly, using this move had consumed a great deal of her energy. After all, the higher the grade of a combat technique, the greater the demand on one's own Dou Qi.

The finger shadow gradually descended, and the pressure on Hun Xiu became increasingly apparent. Beneath this enormous finger shadow, Hun Xiu looked so small, like an ant.

Hun Xiu's legs began to tremble slightly, almost buckling. Clearly, Extreme Wind Finger placed considerable pressure on him.

Feeling the immense pressure of Extreme Wind Finger, Hun Xiu murmured inwardly, Let me see the power of a high-grade Earth Tier combat technique. Let me see just how great it truly is!

"Hm?"

In midair, Hun Doulol's pretty face was pale as she watched Hun Xiu begin to buckle beneath her Extreme Wind Finger. Her delicate brows rose slightly. "Is he preparing to take this finger strike head-on?"

"He truly is a madman."

The others also noticed Hun Xiu's insane action. Their hearts shook as they all cried inwardly, Madman.

Watching Hun Xiu's reckless act, Hun Feng was shocked and muttered, "Hun Xiu, are you trying to experience the dominance of Extreme Wind Finger firsthand? You really are a madman."

"Go ahead and court death! Once you die beneath this Extreme Wind Finger, first place in the Clan Competition will be mine, Hun Feng's. Not only will first place belong to me, but every honor that belongs to you will also be mine. Even your adorable fiancée will belong to me."

Hun Feng laughed wildly in his heart. He wished for nothing more than for Hun Xiu to do nothing and simply endure Hun Doulol's Extreme Wind Finger head-on, dying beneath this strike in the end.

If Hun Xiu was courting death himself, he had no one else to blame.

At this moment, Hun Tu, one of the Four Demon Saints, spoke. "Is Hun Xiu preparing to withstand this Extreme Wind Finger head-on?"

The Hun Clan experts on the high platform all thought so as well. They turned their gazes toward Soul Emperor, seated at the center. This was Hun Xiu—the greatest genius the Hun Clan had ever seen, possessing the Transcendent Divine Bloodline and the Potential to become Emperor.

Was it really wise for him to court death like this? He actually wanted to take a high-grade Earth Tier combat technique head-on. What if he truly got himself killed? Soul Emperor said indifferently, "With me, Soul Emperor, here, what's one son? There's nothing a night and a woman can't solve. If there is, then use two women."

The Hun Clan experts: "..."
