Unexpected Turn

"Hey, I didn't expect that we would become the target of everyone's attention."

Looking at the menacing crowd ahead, Xiao Yuan smiled and spoke to Xiao Yan and Xun'er beside him, as well as Xiao Yu behind him.

"Then their grades will probably become very poor."

Xiao Yan also laughed.

Xun'er, standing to the side, shrugged coquettishly, but her aura became even more chilling.

As for Xiao Yu, she felt she could win without lifting a finger.

The actions of the five teams inside the venue instantly attracted attention both inside and outside the venue.

Some smaller teams glanced in the direction of Xiao Yuan and his group upon seeing this, but still did not dare to follow the five major teams to confront Xiao Yuan and his companions.

After all, the combined attack of Xiao Yuan and the other two had directly blasted two Three-Star Dou Grandmaster, causing them to vomit blood and fall off the stage. With the strength of these Dou Shi, they would probably be seriously injured if they were even slightly grazed!

It's better to watch from the sidelines and be a fisherman.

However, such behavior is obviously not allowed by the five major teams. It is foreseeable that even if the five major teams can eliminate Xiao Yuan and others, they will probably pay a very heavy price. At that time, if there are still some people who are waiting for the enemy to tire themselves out, then wouldn't their efforts be wasted?

So, the five teams, with perfect understanding, began to eliminate the surrounding smaller teams first.

This scene caused an uproar on stage; clearly, even they hadn't expected things to develop this way! "Brother, should we gather those people together?"

Seeing this, Xiao Yan asked in a low voice.

"No need. If they come to us willingly, we might accept, but given their eagerness to be the fisherman just now, there's no need for us to win with them. Whether they're here or not doesn't really matter to us, does it?"

Xiao Yuan's lips curled up, revealing a confident smile.

With his strength, if he were to unleash his full Dou Technique, he could probably clear the stage directly. Xiao Yan's Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler and Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations are also enough to give him the combat power of a Dou Ling level. With such combat power, clearing the stage would not be difficult either.

As for Xun'er, Xiao Yuan didn't dare to say he could defeat her. After all, the Ancient Clan clans, being ancient and powerful, possessed a much stronger foundation than Xiao Yan, who was a self-taught individual. Even with the help of Yao Lao, a high-level alchemist, he couldn't surpass Xun'er in terms of resources.

Of course, it's impossible for him and Xun'er to actually fight to the death. Even their sparring sessions will probably only be brief and to the point.

Xun'er wasn't competitive, and Xiao Yuan wasn't the type to compete with even his own family.

Although Xiao Yu didn't know why Xiao Yuan was so confident that he could deal with more than twenty people on the other side with just three people, she had gotten to know Xiao Yuan quite well over the years. If Xiao Yuan said he could handle it, then he definitely could.

"I never expected that Hu Jia and Wu Hao would team up so well to deal with Xiao Yuan and his three companions."

An elder in the central seats stroked his beard and sighed.

"Heh heh, they're in trouble now!"

Another elder beside him said with a smile.

"I'm afraid that's not necessarily true."

However, Vice Dean Hu Qian frowned slightly, gazing at Xiao Yuan's white-clad figure as he spoke in a low voice.

Judging from his experience treating Bai Shan that day, Xiao Yuan's strength was probably far more than just his current level as Four-Star Dou Grandmaster.

It should be noted that, judging from his aura, Xiao Yan has already reached the level of Five-Star Dou Grandmaster. Xiao Yuan, who was already Dou Shi two years ago, could not possibly have a slower cultivation speed than Xiao Yan.

Could this kid be hiding his strength? But what's his motive? Hu Qian felt he couldn't quite see through the young man in front of him.

Inside the arena, with the combined efforts of the five major teams, all the smaller teams were eliminated. Of course, due to the counterattacks of those smaller teams, each of the five major teams also suffered one or two casualties.

At this moment, only the four toughest opponents, Xiao Yuan and his group, remained on the field.

Although it's said to be four people, only three of them are actually combat-ready. In terms of numbers, with twenty-three against three, the advantage lies entirely with Hu Jia and Wu Hao.

"Hey, Xiao Yuan, Xun'er, why don't you two join me? I like you two, I can protect you!"

Hu Jia remained as direct as ever, and even at a time like this, she managed to poach talent from others.

"Tsk, Puxin girl, she's really shameless!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan curled his lip and said disdainfully.

Xun'er silently took a step closer to Xiao Yan, expressing her stance without a word.

"?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Jia was furious and immediately unleashed a burst of Dou Qi towards Xiao Yuan.

However, as soon as the Dou Qi entered the three-foot radius around Xiao Yuan, it was instantly frozen into ice blocks, which fell helplessly to the ground and shattered.

"You two go and take care of those two teams with Da Dou Shi. Leave the remaining three to me."

After tilting his head and chuckling softly, Xiao Yuan stepped out, unleashing the aura of Four-Star Dou Grandmaster, locking onto Hu Jia, Wu Hao, and the remaining three peak Peak Dou Master.

Xiao Yan and Xun'er, who were standing to the side, were also shocked when they heard this. Although with their strength, it would not be difficult for them to deal with the two teams with Da Dou Shi, could Xiao Yuan really stop three teams by himself?

Xiao Yuan's voice wasn't quiet, so Hu Jia, Wu Hao, and the others heard it clearly and were furious upon hearing it.

How dare this pretty boy look down on them so much?

"Outrageous bastard!"

Wu Hao snorted coldly, and his powerful Dou Qi burst forth.

"The guy down there!"

Hu Jia learned quickly and immediately returned Xiao Yuan's words to her. At the same time, she also unleashed an aura slightly stronger than Wu Hao's.

One is Five-Star Dou Grandmaster, and the other is Six-Star Dou Grandmaster.

Xiao Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly, but remained completely calm. Cold energy surged from his palms, and black icy mist spread out, causing the temperature in the arena to drop considerably.

"Such pure Ice Attribute Douqi!"

Many people with keen eyesight couldn't help but sigh upon seeing this.

"Mystic Ice Palm!"

Xiao Yuan casually made a hand seal, and two palm prints filled with black icy mist flew out, attacking Hu Jia and Wu Hao respectively.

As for the remaining students at the Dou Shi level, their attacks were either easily dodged by Xiao Yuan Xiao Yuan or directly frozen into ice blocks and shattered on the ground.

Meanwhile, in the battle between Xiao Yan and Xun'er, two blazing auras burst forth, the auras of Five-Star Dou Grandmaster and Seven Star Great Fighter immediately attracting the attention of many.

Hu Jia and Wu Hao were both quite strong, and they could tell at a glance that Xiao Yuan's casual attack was actually a Mysterious Rank Dou Techniques!

The two of them dared not be negligent and immediately used their respective skills to defend against Xiao Yuan's attacks.

This intense, chaotic scene of fighting made the screams and cheers from the surrounding stands resound like thunder.

While Hu Jia and Wu Hao were dealing with Xiao Yuan's Dou Technique, Xiao Yuan's figure appeared like a ghost, immediately appearing behind a Peak Dou Master student. He stretched out his palm and gently patted the person, sending him flying. When the person regained his senses, he was already outside the arena.

???

He blinked in confusion, completely bewildered as to how he had managed to fly out.

"Wow, it seems there's a powerful figure behind Xiao Yuan!" The Alchemy Department elder next to Hu Qian raised an eyebrow and said with interest, "By using the ice blocks formed from the Dou Qi attacks of other students, he created a more suitable fighting environment for himself. Combined with exquisite movement techniques and Dou Technique, he unexpectedly knocked him out of the arena. This kind of combat power is already no weaker than an ordinary Six-Star Dou Grandmaster."

"Hmm, even some Dou Wang expert are probably no more skilled at controlling Dou Qi and using Dou Technique. To have such proficiency, he must have put in a lot of effort in Dou Technique. In that case, it's not hard to understand why his Dou Qi level is a little low."

Hu Qian listened and analyzed thoughtfully.

As the two were talking, two more figures landed outside the arena, looking bewildered. The three of them exchanged glances and stared at each other in confusion.

Hu Jia and Wu Hao were shocked to find that Xiao Yuan had eliminated three of their teammates just after they had just neutralized Xiao Yuan's attack. They were surprised because if they were to face Xiao Yuan alone, they would likely be defeated.

"We were careless!" The two sighed inwardly, and their regard for Xiao Yuan increased even more. But at this moment, Xiao Yuan had already begun to eliminate his fourth opponent.

"This guy first unleashed two Profound Tier Low Grade Dou Technique with power comparable to mid-level Xuan-rank, and then killed three people in a row. His Dou Qi flowed so smoothly, it seems that the level of the cultivation technique he practiced was not low either!"

As Wu Hao analyzed the situation in his mind, the blood on the heavy sword in his hand intensified.

It looks like we'll be able to give it our all today!

Hu Jia, who was standing nearby, also noticed the problem and immediately prepared to go all out to deal with Xiao Yuan.

With eleven people still on their side, she really didn't believe that Xiao Yuan could eliminate the other team members from the field as easily as before, even with the two of them attacking him from behind!

However, just before they reached Xiao Yuan, they watched helplessly as Xiao Yuan sent that Peak Dou Master expert flying with a single palm strike.

This was undoubtedly a direct hit right in their faces.

Immediately, a fierce look appeared on their faces, and the weapons in their hands made a series of whooshing sounds, making them appear menacing.

However, the next moment, everyone was shocked, as Xiao Yuan actually caught the two attacks with his bare hands! "How is this possible!"

Seeing this, Hu Jia and Wu Hao were shocked.

But then, a tremendous force came from the ends of their weapons, and the two of them felt their bodies lighten and were lifted into the air.

???

The spectators watched this scene with expressions of bewilderment on their faces.

This Xiao Yuan, he's clearly only Four-Star Dou Grandmaster, but why does he seem to be fighting as easily as Four-Star Dou Ling? "Boom!"

With a flick of his arm, Xiao Yuan threw Hu Jia and Wu Hao out. Then, his figure flashed and he cleared out the students at the Dou Shi level one by one.

"What terrifying physical strength!"

Upon seeing this scene, Hu Qian immediately thought of a certain living ancestor in the Inner Academy.

With his eyesight Dou Huang expert, he could naturally see that Wu Hao and Hu Jia's attacks, after being weakened by the cold air, had lost some of their power when they landed on Xiao Yuan's palm covered with black ice crystals, so it was not difficult for Xiao Yuan to catch them.

But most importantly, Xiao Yuan's physical strength seems to be extremely terrifying. Just now, there was no fluctuation of Dou Qi at all. He relied entirely on his own strength to achieve such an amazing effect! It seems that his terrifying strength is also related to how easily he threw those students away.

Such physical strength is probably comparable to that of some magical beasts!

Wu Hao and Hu Jia, who were thrown away, were also quite shocked, but when they saw three more figures being thrown out in the blink of an eye, they didn't have time to think anymore and rushed forward again.

This time, Xiao Yuan didn't have time to deal with the next target. He immediately reached out his hand again and then made a grasping motion in front of him.

Whew!

The next moment, ice crystals rose from the ground, ice mist condensed in the air, and crescent-shaped ice blades were formed, spinning in front of Xiao Yuan, forming a black Ice Blade Storm!

Mystic Ice Whirlwind Kill!

The strong sense of danger immediately alerted Hu Jia and Wu Hao.

It's Mystic High-Rank Dou Technique!

The two dared not delay and quickly unleashed two Mystic High-Rank Dou Technique. However, Xiao Yuan's casting speed far surpassed theirs, and they once again watched helplessly as Xiao Yuan charged towards the other team members.

"Depend on!"

Hu Jia was furious at the sight. This Xiao Yuan was really too shameless!

To be able to use such Dou Technique so easily, just how much effort has this guy put into his Dou Technique!

"Ha!"

Wu Hao, on the other hand, didn't have so many emotions. A decisive look flashed in his eyes, and his blood aura became even more intense. As a crimson glint appeared in his eyes, he slashed down with his heavy sword.

On the other side, Xiao Yuan's figure flashed, and in the blink of an eye, only the last Peak Dou Master student remained in the arena.

However, the situation was not good, because this person was already standing next to Xiao Yu, and could eliminate him with a single blow!

This sudden turn of events startled many spectators, who stood up. Even Xiao Yan and Xun'er, who were in the battle circle nearby, turned their attention to this side.

"Junior Brother Xiao Yuan, I won't do anything to Xiao Yu, as long as you don't make me step down!"

The student seemed to be in the same year as Xiao Yu, and at this moment he also showed a friendly smile and said.

Are you threatening me?

Xiao Yuan frowned and said coldly.

"Not at all, I just wanted to make a deal with Junior Brother Xiao Yuan. After all, the longer I can stay in the venue, the more resources I can get in the future!"

The man laughed.

"That sounds alright, but... I refuse!"
