Xiao Yan looked at the man and asked Xiao Xun'er beside him.
"Xun Er, who is that person?"
Hearing Xiao Yan's question, Xiao Xun'er followed his gaze and happened to see a young man inexplicably smile at her before withdrawing his gaze from their direction.
"Oh, that's Xiao Bai, the one you're going to challenge!"
Xiao Xun'er did not hide it and told Xiao Yan directly.
After all, in her view, there was nothing to hide. Telling Cousin Xiao Yan sooner would also give him time to prepare.
Xiao Yan had been fine before, but the moment he heard that the man was Xiao Bai, his expression turned extremely ugly.
So he was the bastard behind making Father suffer and humiliating me.
At that thought, even Xiao Yan's gaze toward Xiao Bai brimmed with fury.
Xiao Yan stared fixedly at the man, as though merely glaring at him would let him tear the man to pieces with his eyes.
However, that was impossible!
Finally, after the crowd had not waited long, the long-awaited martial competition officially began.
"All participants, enter the arena."
Not long after the elder's shout rang out, a group of young people quickly stepped onto the arena.
They looked so panicked, as though they would lose if they moved even a little slower.
Of course, only after most people had entered the arena did Xiao Bai slowly begin moving, without the slightest sign of nervousness or unease.
As Xiao Bai moved, Xiao Yan, who had been staring at him, unwilling to fall behind, also headed toward the arena. The little tagalong Xiao Xun'er followed as well.
As these few moved, the others seemed like grasshoppers tied to the same rope—one move affected them all—and everyone began entering the arena.
Watching their behavior, especially Xiao Yan's expression, Xiao Bai found it rather amusing.
He had originally feared he would not find an opportunity to make a move against Xiao Yan, but the chance had suddenly appeared right before him, catching him completely off guard.
Xiao Bai did not even spare a glance for Xiao Yan's furious stare, instead thinking about how to complete his mission.
Now that Xiao Yan had entered the arena, there would always be a chance.
The only troublesome part was Xiao Xun'er beside him. Facing her with his current strength would still be somewhat difficult.
However, as long as he completed the mission, he might not be able to defeat her, but protecting himself would be more than enough.
After all, she had powerful backing!
There were over a hundred people in the arena. It looked like a lot, but the arena still seemed quite spacious, with plenty of room for them to move around.
Xiao Bai looked around, then glanced at Xiao Yan in the distance, and casually moved away from the people around him.
No matter how strong he was, being surrounded and attacked would only lead to one outcome—crushing defeat.
Moreover, there was someone nearby eyeing him like a tiger watching its prey, along with Xiao Xun'er, whose attitude was unknown. This made Xiao Bai even more cautious.
After entering the arena, everyone warily watched those around them.
It was as if they feared that someone who had just been chatting and laughing with them would suddenly attack them.
Of course, a few fought alone, but most formed groups. Small groups of two or three joined forces to eliminate the obstacles before them.
"The competition begins!"
The instant the elder's words fell, the sounds of battle erupted across the arena. The collisions of Dou Techniques against Dou Techniques, bodies against bodies, rang out without end.
At this point, the strongest people in the arena were all facing attacks from several opponents, including Xiao Ning and Xiao Mei.
A large crowd also surrounded Xiao Xun'er. Since she was the strongest person whose strength was currently known, she naturally had the most people attacking her.
Of course, Xiao Bai, the Xiao Family's newly risen and dazzling genius, could not escape the fate of being besieged either.
Fortunately, Xiao Bai had prepared in advance. Before the three people could close in on him, he immediately used the Dou Technique Flash Step, and his figure suddenly appeared outside their encirclement.
After avoiding the three men's joint attack, Xiao Bai did not immediately flee. Instead, he chose to counterattack.
For a genius, being surrounded was not a huge deal. But having his plans disrupted like this still left Xiao Bai rather unhappy for the moment.
According to his original plan, Xiao Bai would have moved around the arena, steadily reducing the number of competitors by grasping the flow of the battlefield.
But man proposes and heaven disposes. Before Xiao Bai could begin his plan, he was already under siege.
Even so, Xiao Bai remained calm, because their fate had long since been decided!
After leaving the encirclement, Xiao Bai immediately launched his counterattack.
His fully mastered Shattering Stone Palm repeatedly struck toward the three men, and roaring blasts rang out one after another.
Finally, after fighting for a moment, Xiao Bai used Flash Step to evade one person's attack, seized a flaw in the three men's coordination, and sent one of them straight out of the arena with a palm strike.
With that person defeated, the other two gradually became unable to hold on as well, and before long, they fell to Xiao Bai.
After defeating the three, Xiao Bai surveyed the arena. Figures locked in battle flickered constantly as he analyzed the situation before him.
He casually knocked another one or two people who had fought their way in front of him out of the arena, then was about to dash toward another battlefield to offer some friendly assistance.
However, a figure blocked his path.
Seeing who it was, Xiao Bai was no longer in a hurry, because the person was none other than his target, Xiao Yan.
"Xiao Yan, what do you mean by this?"
Though Xiao Yan was his target, that was no reason for him to block Xiao Bai's path.
Hearing Xiao Bai's question, Xiao Yan said disdainfully, "Heh, what do I mean? Can't you see for yourself?"
As he spoke, he looked at Xiao Bai with great contempt, as though looking at an idiot.
Seeing the disdain in Xiao Yan's gaze, Xiao Bai did not get angry. He merely smiled.
"I hadn't planned on coming for you this early, but since you came to me, don't blame me."
After saying that, he did not wait for Xiao Yan to reply. Instead, he directly formed a series of strange hand seals in the air.
As Xiao Bai completed the hand seals, a massive disk formed in midair and slowly began to rotate.
Its surface was etched with intricate and bizarre patterns that looked profoundly mysterious.
The moment those patterns appeared, Xiao Yan's face turned green.
"The Mystic Seal! You actually mastered the Mystic Seal!"
Others might not know this Dou Technique, but that did not mean he did not.
Because he had been struck by this Dou Technique before, and the experience was still vividly etched in his memory!
Watching this Dou Technique, which held quite a legendary status within the Xiao Family, fly toward him once again, Xiao Yan hurriedly dodged.
Seeing Xiao Yan flee in such a sorry state, Xiao Bai did not know why, but he thought of something he had once heard:
"Will the Dou Emperor Xiao ahead dare dismount and fight?"
"No, your horse isn't as fast as mine!"
