On the ring, Jiang Donghua defeated the two masters Liu Qingsi and Lei Lie in an understatement. His breathing was stable and he was just warming up.
His eyes calmly scanned the audience, who was next?
Although the tone was calm, it carried an invisible pressure that made the remaining candidates look at each other in confusion, and no one dared to respond easily.
For a moment, the scene fell into awkward silence.
Everyone's eyes involuntarily turned to the figure on the sidelines with arms folded across his chest, a gloomy face, and a faint thunderous aura wafting around his body. Strong Ranking was second, Thunder-Fire Asura Qin Xiao!
Feeling the gazes coming from all directions, Qin Xiao's face became even more ugly.
He knew that if he backed down at this moment, his Thunder-Fire Asura name and Inner Academy Strong Ranking second dignity would be completely reduced to a laughing stock!
"Hmph!"
Qin Xiao snorted heavily, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart caused by Jiang Donghua's unfathomable performance, and stood up suddenly.
He took one step forward, and with a flash of lightning under his feet, his figure appeared on the ring, facing Jiang Donghua from afar.
He stared at Jiang Donghua with burning eyes, and his tone was full of unruly and fighting spirit.
"Jiang Donghua! It seems that you have spent more than half a year in vain!"
"However, just being able to bully Dou Ling is not a skill!"
He squeezed his fist hard, and his joints made a crackling sound. Thunder-Fire Battle Qi all over his body began to rise uncontrollably, and a violent aura filled the air.
"Let me come and test your appearance for myself! See how much weight you have gained!"
Jiang Donghua looked at Qin Xiao who was boiling with fighting spirit. He still had that peaceful smile on his face and nodded slightly.
"Qin Xiao Senior, please."
On the high platform, Great Elder Ye Tianxing looked at the two people confronting each other on the stage, with a complicated look in his eyes.
He took a deep breath and announced loudly.
"Challenger, Qin Xiao! Defender, Jiang Donghua! The competition - begins!"
"Boom--!"
The Dou Qi that had been accumulated in Qin Xiao's body for a long time suddenly erupted like a volcano that had been suppressed for thousands of years!
He is well aware of the weirdness and power of Jiang Donghua, so he makes a killing move without any reservation, intending to seize the opportunity!
"Earth-tier Low-grade Dou Technique-Thunder-Fire World-Ending Spear!"
He punched out both fists, the lightning in his left hand flashed, turning into a ferocious silver thunder dragon, and the flames in his right hand surged, condensing into a violent red fire dragon!
The thunder dragon and the fire dragon intertwined, making a deafening dragon roar, tearing the air with the terrifying power of destroying everything, and swooped towards Jiang Donghua with lightning speed!
This time, what he used was Earth-tier Dou Technique, which was of better quality and more skillful control than Thunder-Fire World-Ending Spear last time!
The power is several times stronger than the last time we fought!
Wherever the twin dragons of thunder and fire passed by, the arena floor was scraped with traces of charred black by the escaping energy. The temperature of the entire arena suddenly increased, and the air was filled with violent thunder and lightning factors and scorching fire elements!
In the stands, all the students were so frightened by this terrifying momentum that they held their breath and their hearts beat wildly!
"Earth-tier Dou Technique! Qin Xiao Senior is serious!"
"It's terrible! This power is much stronger than last time!"
"Can Senior Jiang block it?!"
Facing this terrifying attack that would make any strong Peak Dou Wang prepare for it, Jiang Donghua's eyes finally changed slightly.
Is it no longer calm as before, but more serious?
He still didn't retreat, nor did he use any gorgeous Dou Technique.
He just slowly raised his right hand, opened his fingers slightly, and pressed lightly against the roaring thunder and fire dragons.
Buzz--!
An invisible but majestic force suddenly spread out from his palm!
It was neither a blazing flame nor an icy cold current, but a deeper and more original force that aroused the energy of the surrounding heaven and earth!
The next moment, under the gaze of countless horrified eyes, the fierce thunder and fire twin dragons hit an invisible and indestructible barrier three feet away from Jiang Donghua!
Rumble!!!
A deafening explosion sounded! Thunder and flames raged wildly, covering half of the arena, and the dazzling light made it impossible to look straight at it!
However, when the light dissipated and the energy subsided, everyone saw a scene they would never forget.
Jiang Donghua, still stood where he was, not moving at all.
Not even the corners of his clothes were lifted up at all.
In front of his raised palm, the space was slightly distorted, and all the explosive energy was confined to that three-foot area, unable to cross the thunder pool!
Qin Xiao's pupils suddenly shrank, and his face was filled with extreme disbelief and horror!
"Impossible!"
The voice became shrill and trembling from extreme shock!
The entire arena was deathly silent!
Everyone was completely petrified by this scene that subverted their cognition!
Jiang Donghua slowly put down his palm, looked at Qin Xiao who looked pale as if he had been struck by lightning, and softly uttered a sentence. The sound was not loud, but it was like thunder, exploding in everyone's ears.
"Qin Xiao Senior, it's a bit too difficult to cross levels!"
Qin Xiao stood in the ring in despair, looking at Jiang Donghua who was still calm and calm across from him, and then looked down at his slightly trembling hands. The scene of his full force attack just now being dismissed by the opponent with an understatement lingered in his mind like a nightmare.
This knowledge was like ice water on top of water, instantly dousing all the fighting spirit and unwillingness in his heart, leaving only boundless bitterness and confusion.
He opened his mouth, his throat was so dry that it hurt.
Finally, in a tone that was almost groaning, full of frustration and disbelief, he asked the common question in the minds of all Inner Academy students at this moment.
"How do you practice, kid?"
"Dou Emperor? Are you really Dou Emperor already?"
"What a slap in the face!"
He almost shouted the last sentence, full of a sense of powerlessness and an absurd sense of being abandoned by the times.
He worked hard and went through many hardships to break through to the six-star Dou Wang. He thought he would be able to compete with Jiang Donghua, but he found that the opponent was already standing on the top of the mountain he needed to look up to!
This gap can no longer be bridged by hard work!
Faced with Qin Xiao's almost collapse question, and the countless eyes in the audience that were equally curious and shocked, Jiang Donghua just shrugged helplessly and answered in a tone that sounded extremely casual and even innocent.
"It's nothing special, right? I just kept practicing, and when I felt like I was good enough, I made a breakthrough?"
The sound was not loud, but it spread clearly throughout the silent arena.
"..."
The whole place was dead silent.
Did you achieve a breakthrough after practicing?
Breakthrough from Dou Wang to Dou Emperor?
Why does this sound so easy to me, as if I was full after having a meal in the morning?!
All the students, including the Strong Ranking masters who were usually arrogant, felt a tightness in their chests at this moment, and there was a sense of suffocation that they wanted to vomit blood but couldn't.
How many of them have been stuck in Dou Ling Peak for several years, unable to make any progress?
How many people have narrowly escaped death in order to reach the Dou Wang realm?
Dou Emperor?
That is an existence at the elder level, and it is the goal that many of them pursue throughout their lives!
But when it comes to Jiang Donghua's mouth, breaking through Dou Emperor is as easy as drinking water and eating?!
"Comparing people with each other is really irritating!"
I don't know who it was, but murmured something in a low voice, expressing everyone's thoughts.
A huge feeling of powerlessness and deep envy, jealousy and hatred spread among the crowd.
Even the expressions on the faces of those elders at the Dou Wang and Dou Emperor level at the elders' table were also wonderful at this moment.
They looked at each other, and they could see the same shock and a bit of embarrassment in each other's eyes?
It feels a bit complicated that a young man can so easily surpass the state that they have worked hard for decades or hundreds of years to reach.
"Ahem!"
In this weird atmosphere, the Great Elder Ye Tianxing finally couldn't stand it any longer. He coughed twice, and there was a hint of Dou Zong coercion in his voice, which brought everyone back from the state of collective aphasia.
He glared at Jiang Donghua on the ring and said angrily.
"Okay, okay, just stop saying a few words! Isn't that enough to hurt people?"
He quickly changed the topic, glanced at the remaining candidates in the audience who were so silent, their heads almost shrinking into their necks, and asked loudly.
"Is there anyone else who wants to challenge Jiang Donghua?"
As soon as the words fell, the remaining candidates in the audience shook their heads wildly, almost as if they were conditioned reflexes. Their movements were uniform and the frequency was astonishingly fast!
With that look, I was afraid that if I moved too slowly, I would be called upon by the great elder to challenge that monster!
What a joke!
Fighting Dou Emperor? That's not a challenge, that's seeking death plus torture!
They don't have the courage or stupidity like Qin Xiao who knows that there are tigers in the mountains and prefers to go to the tiger mountains.
Seeing this scene, Ye Tianxing understood clearly and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
he declared.
"Since no one will challenge Jiang Donghua, Jiang Donghua successfully defended the challenge and scored three points! Moreover, Strong Ranking will directly lock in a seat in the top ten of this year's competition!"
This result surprised no one and even took it for granted.
Jiang Donghua bowed slightly to the great elder, glanced at Qin Xiao and everyone in the audience who had complicated expressions, and then walked off the stage.
Origin Heart Flame Tempering is about to begin.
After quenching his body, it was time for him to leave Jia Nan Academy and embark on the journey to the Northern Region of the Central Continent!
