The Might of an Earth Rank Dou Technique

The Might of an Earth Rank Dou Technique. When the onlookers heard about the content of the Outer Academy mission Lu Xing had accepted and learned the full story, they could not help casting Xiao Yan looks of "admiration."

There was, however, more than a little of "what an idiot" in those looks.

Every year, freshmen challenged older students as soon as they entered the Outer Academy, so when they had first enrolled, Luo Bu and the others making the freshmen stand in the sun had indeed been a tradition.

But someone like Xiao Yan, challenging the Mystic Rank Class, was a first in all these years.

"Hmph, who knows what backwater village this bumpkin came from. He thinks this place is his own little patch of land."

"Idiots like this usually die the worst deaths."

Some freshmen from other places snorted coldly. "Pah, he really thinks he's some big shot. Why doesn't he piss in a puddle and take a good look at himself?"

Quite a few freshmen were deeply displeased by Xiao Yan's outrageous behavior. After all, every freshman more or less wanted to stand out, yet on the very first day, Xiao Yan had already stolen all the spotlight.

As for Xiao Yan himself, he did not care in the slightest. With his hands behind his back, he stood in the arena, his face maintaining its usual confident smile.

In everyone else's eyes, behavior like Xiao Yan's was simply idiotic—he did not even know the meaning of death!

Hearing those discussions, Xun Er's gaze turned cold. A wisp of golden flame flashed through her autumn-water eyes, and she dearly wished she could enter the arena herself and make them all shut up.

"If Senior is skilled with weapons, you may use one," Xiao Yan kindly reminded him.

The corners of Lu Xing's lips lifted as he sneered. "No need. If I need a weapon just to deal with a freshman who has only just entered the Outer Academy, where would I put my face? Stop wasting time. Let's begin."

Xiao Yan nodded. Though his expression remained calm, his body had already tensed as he secretly circulated his Dou Qi. Xiao Yan knew that someone with the Cultivation Level of a Six-Star Dou Shi could not be taken lightly, even if he possessed many Trump Cards.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Xing stomped down hard with his right foot. Afterimages stretched across the ground behind him.

"That's the Yellow Rank High-Rank movement Dou Technique, Residual Image Step. I didn't expect Senior Lu Xing to have cultivated it to this level—he can produce three afterimages!"

With a bang, Lu Xing rapidly closed in on Xiao Yan. Several afterimages threw their right fists at Xiao Yan's face, chest, and abdomen. Though the afterimages could disrupt one's vision, to Xiao Yan, whose Soul Power was exceptionally strong, such tricks were child's play.

Xiao Yan twisted aside to evade the punch, caught Lu Xing's right hand, then gently redirected it. Using minimal force to deflect tremendous strength, he flung Lu Xing away. Xiao Yan did not stop there. Taking advantage of the moment Lu Xing lost his balance, he kicked him squarely in the Buttocks.

"Ah!" Lu Xing went flying face-first into the ground.

Seeing this, everyone could not help drawing a sharp breath. Just now, several afterimages had attacked at once, and none of them could tell which was real and which was fake. Yet Xiao Yan had not been affected in the slightest and had even seized the chance to counterattack.

Ruo Lin Mentor furrowed her brow and softly said, "Soul Power. I nearly forgot that this little fellow is also a First-Rank Alchemist. That little trick only held him back instead."

Lu Xing rose to his feet, his face alternating between green and white. He stared at the youth in the arena, a concealed resentment flashing through his eyes.

"Rock Crushing Heavy Punch!" Lu Xing stomped the ground again. With an explosive sound, he reappeared before Xiao Yan.

Earth-yellow Dou Qi gathered around Lu Xing's right fist, swelling it to an enormous size. A huge fist shadow blasted toward Xiao Yan head-on. Xiao Yan raised both arms to block, and the massive fist shadow struck heavily against them.

Xiao Yan was sent flying backward, rolling several times along the ground before coming to a stop. Several floor tiles had shattered beneath him, showing just how powerful that strike had been.

"Haha, this is the price of looking down on your senior! Your hand bones must have broken—"

Before Lu Xing could finish, Xiao Yan slowly rose to his feet and shook his hands to dispel the numbness. Shaking his head in dissatisfaction, he said, "No matter how much I train my body, relying on the flesh alone still can't block a Dou Shi's Dou Technique attack."

Xiao Yan had still been too naive. Even though he had cultivated Eight Extremities Collapse and Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler for a long time, trained his body day after day for ten years, and had even Devoured a wisp of Bone Chiling Flame, the human body could never compare to that of a Magical Beast.

At that moment, everyone stared at Xiao Yan. Seeing him rise without the slightest injury, their expressions changed drastically. Are you even human?! Are you a Magical Beast wearing human skin?!

"Y-you—you! How is that possible?!" Lu Xing was going mad. This man had blocked his Mystic Rank Dou Technique with his body alone!

A cold smile slowly appeared on Xiao Yan's lips, his gaze turning sharp. "My turn to attack, Senior."

He gave the panic-stricken Lu Xing a grim smile. Dou Qi circulated throughout Xiao Yan's body as he stomped the ground. Clenching his five fingers into a fist, his knuckles crackled as he viciously struck toward Lu Xing's chest.

An eye for an eye!

Eight Extremities Collapse! Feeling the intense wind pressure rushing at him, Lu Xing's expression changed once more. Inwardly, he cried out in horror, Is this guy really an Eight-Star Dou Zhe? This aura is so strong!

The thought flashed through his mind, and Lu Xing gritted his teeth. He was already completely enveloped by Xiao Yan's attack, and his movement Dou Technique made it impossible for him to avoid it entirely. He could only forcibly receive Xiao Yan's attack.

He swiftly took out a long spear from his Storage Ring. Gripping it tightly in both hands, Lu Xing unleashed a Dou Technique. "Immovable Spear Mountain!"

The tip of Lu Xing's silver-white spear pierced into the ground. Using the shaft as a shield, he fused the spear with the earth to block the attack. Still feeling that this was not enough, pale yellow earth-attributed Dou Qi gradually erupted from his body. In the end, it formed a thin layer of Dou Qi Gauze Armor around him.

Condensing Dou Qi into an energy gauze armor that adhered to the body was the mark of a Dou Shi expert. This energy gauze armor could not only enhance its owner's defense, speed, and attack, but also increase the power of Dou Techniques.

A Six-Star Dou Shi, facing an Eight-Star Dou Zhe, had not only brought out a weapon but also activated his Dou Qi Gauze Armor. This showed just how terrifying the might of Xiao Yan's Eight Extremities Collapse was.

Xiao Yan sneered, charging forward without hesitation as he still threw his fist against the spear.

All eight layers of hidden force erupted!

Eight Extremities Collapse was a Mystic High-Rank Dou Technique and Xiao Yan's most proficient Dou Technique. At mastery, its power rivaled the weakest Earth Rank Dou Technique.

Thud, thud, thud!! The terrifying force drove Lu Xing back step by step, while the spear carved a deep trench across the ground. Waves of hidden force coursed into Lu Xing's body.

Watching Lu Xing nearly step out of bounds, Xiao Yan secretly shook his head. Although the other party had used a weapon to block the attack, the main issue was still that his own Cultivation Level was too weak. If they had been of equal level, the shockwave from Eight Extremities Collapse alone would have shattered the Dou Qi Gauze Armor.

Even Ruo Lin Mentor's expression changed. No one could deny the strength of Xiao Yan's strike. Xiao Yan had overcome a stronger opponent! His opponent had even needed to take out a weapon to block that punch—if he had not used one, wouldn't he have been severely injured and unable to rise???

Suddenly, with a heavy boom, a pitch-black massive sword plunged into the ground, sending vibrations through the area. Xiao Yan gripped the handle of the Heavy Xuan Ruler with both hands, narrowed his eyes, and forcefully pulled it free.

"Senior, since you've used a weapon, I won't hold back either." There was not the slightest trace of respect in Xiao Yan's words! Buzz!! The strange runes on the Heavy Xuan Ruler suddenly lit up, and a terrifying heat rose from it. The temperature across the entire plaza abruptly increased by a degree! Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler!
