Xiao Chen looked at the graceful Xiao Yu standing opposite him and could only smack his lips helplessly in his heart.

"Xiao Yu challenges Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen, do you accept?"

Second Elder Xiao Ying, standing to the side, looked at Xiao Yu as she stepped onto the platform and called out loudly to Xiao Chen.

Hearing this, Xiao Chen merely nodded. A man could not say no.

With so many people watching him, Xiao Chen could hardly refuse. After all, someone might use it to criticize him in the future.

Seeing Xiao Chen nod, the Second Elder waved his hand. As he stepped back, he growled in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Remember this. You are both Xiao Clan Members, so stop when the point is made during the challenge."

Xiao Chen and Xiao Yu merely nodded.

As the Second Elder retreated, the atmosphere atop the platform immediately became tense.

As they watched the two on the platform, everyone present fixed their eyes on them. They also wanted to see how well Xiao Chen had trained in Dou Techniques.

At this moment, Xiao Zhan frowned slightly as he looked at the two on the platform, his expression somewhat grim. He knew that Xiao Yu had gone to Jia Nan Academy, and the Dou Techniques she had trained in were certainly better than those of the Xiao Family. In battles between opponents of the same level, the quality of one's Dou Techniques could grant an initial advantage.

"Patriarch Xiao, who do you think will win?"

Ya Fei, standing beside Xiao Zhan, stared at the two in the arena with her alluring eyes. She smiled faintly, then turned to Xiao Zhan and asked with a soft laugh.

Although Ya Fei said that, she knew how formidable Xiao Chen was.

"Sigh, although Chen'er is also a Three-Star Dou Zhe, that girl Xiao Yu is superior when it comes to Dou Techniques."

Hearing Ya Fei's words, Xiao Zhan slowly suppressed the anxiety in his heart and could only answer helplessly.

Though Xiao Zhan had said only half of it, the meaning of the rest was self-evident.

Xiao Zhan believed that Xiao Yu, who had trained at Jia Nan Academy for three years, was certainly more proficient in Dou Techniques than Xiao Chen. Although they were both Three-Star Dou Zhes, Xiao Yu was slightly stronger than Xiao Chen in that regard.

If Xiao Chen had not possessed the system, he might now have only practiced the Xiao Family's Yellow-tier cultivation methods. But now, defeating Xiao Yu was an effortless matter for him.

"Oh, really? Still, I have great faith in Young Master Xiao Chen. I believe Young Master Xiao Chen will certainly claim victory."

Ya Fei's alluring eyes watched Xiao Chen's figure in the arena. Her long lashes fluttered slightly, a captivating curve rested on her sensual red lips, and a bewitching smile adorned her charming face as she said with a sweet smile.

Over the past half year, through her interactions with Xiao Chen, Ya Fei had also sensed his mystery and strength. Therefore, she naturally believed Xiao Chen would win this match against Xiao Yu.

At this moment, Xiao Xun'er and Meng Er, seated at the edge of the arena, were also staring intently at the two with their beautiful eyes.

When the atmosphere in the arena reached a certain point, Xiao Yu suddenly drew the longsword from her waist and shot toward Xiao Chen, thrusting her sword at him at the same time.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen's pupils contracted. Aren't we even warming up first?

"Azure Sky Dragon Transformation Art, Azure Dragon Arm!"

However, Xiao Chen remained where he was, with no intention of moving aside. He gave a low cry in his heart, and as it fell, faint azure light emerged over both his arms.

A moment later, the azure light faded, revealing azure Dragon Scales covering both of Xiao Chen's arms beneath his robes. Even his originally fair, slender hands were now covered in azure Dragon Scales.

Xiao Yu was somewhat puzzled to see Xiao Chen standing still instead of dodging her sword. At this point, the longsword in her hand was only a few feet from Xiao Chen, so she had no intention of withdrawing the strike.

Just then, the longsword in Xiao Yu's hand lunged straight toward Xiao Chen's chest.

But just as the sword was about to pierce Xiao Chen's chest, he suddenly extended his right arm, which was covered in azure Dragon Scales, and directly caught the longsword Xiao Yu had thrust at him.

What?

Xiao Yu watched as Xiao Chen caught her longsword with his bare hand. At the same time, she saw that no blood flowed from the hand gripping the blade.

Instead, a layer of azure scales covered his arm and even his palm. Xiao Yu immediately sensed that something was wrong and tried to pull her longsword from Xiao Chen's grasp.

Xiao Yu exerted force to pull it free, but a moment later, she felt as if the longsword in her hand had been clamped tightly by iron pincers. No matter how she tugged, she could not pull it out.

Xiao Chen, standing opposite Xiao Yu, looked at the longsword in his right hand. Then his dark eyes shifted to Xiao Yu, and he smiled faintly.

The next moment, Xiao Chen loosened his grip on the longsword with a burst of force from his right arm and shot toward Xiao Yu, while the Dou Qi in his body flowed into his palm.

The moment Xiao Chen released the longsword, Xiao Yu noticed and immediately pulled it back. But in the next instant, she saw Xiao Chen charging toward her and prepared to thrust her sword at him again.

But they were too close, and it was already too late. Xiao Chen's palm was striking toward her, and in the next moment, Xiao Yu also swung a palm toward Xiao Chen.

When their palms collided, Xiao Yu's delicate body suddenly trembled. From Xiao Chen's palm, she felt an immense force surging toward her.

A moment later, Xiao Yu could no longer withstand it. Her fair, jade-like palm was knocked aside by Xiao Chen's palm. Once her hand was sent away, nothing remained to block him, and in the next instant, Xiao Chen's palm directly struck Xiao Yu.

When Xiao Chen's palm landed on Xiao Yu, she was sent flying off the platform. However, just before she hit the ground, she steadied herself and landed atop the bluestone slabs beneath the platform.

Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Yu below the platform, a faint curve at the corner of his lips. In that palm strike, he had not activated the Giant Elephant Micro-Particle. He had merely used the Dou Qi of a Three-Star Dou Zhe to knock Xiao Yu off the platform.

At this moment, Xiao Yu's pretty face was flushed red, and her chest ached faintly. Xiao Chen actually dared to hit her there. Immediately, Xiao Yu glared fiercely at him with her beautiful eyes.

Seeing Xiao Yu below the platform looking as though she was about to explode, Xiao Chen could only smile awkwardly. He had not meant to strike Xiao Yu there, but under those circumstances, he had no other choice.

Only then did the crowd recover from their shock at Xiao Yu's defeat.

They truly had not expected Xiao Yu, also a Three-Star Dou Zhe, to lose to Xiao Chen so quickly. They had originally thought they would get to watch an intense battle.

Second Elder Xiao Ying, standing at the other corner of the platform, also recovered from his shock at Xiao Chen defeating Xiao Yu. He glanced at Xiao Chen, then loudly announced, "Xiao Chen wins!"
