Battle with Bai Cheng

"They came at a good time, though."

Xiao Yuan, whose interest had been somewhat dampened, narrowed his eyes.

He then strode out with Xiao Yu, his cold voice ringing out afterward!

"Let's go see if the White Gang is trying to send Fire Energy again!"

When Xiao Yuan led his men to the exit of the New Student Zone, they saw a large group of people dressed in white blocking the entrance. The person in the lead looked somewhat similar to Bai Shan.

This must be Bai Shan's cousin, Bai Cheng.

"President, be careful! That guy is White Gang, the leader of the Bai Cheng Gang!"

When A Tai saw Xiao Yuan arrive, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, went to Xiao Yuan's side, and said in a low voice with a solemn expression.

A large number of people gathered around again. In just a few days, the New Student Zone was once again surrounded by senior students.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Bai Cheng and his group slowly approached Xiao Yuan. Bai Cheng's gaze first swept over the group of freshmen who were not weak, and finally settled on Xiao Yuan's face.

Xiao Yuan met the gaze of the man in front of him, who bore a resemblance to Bai Shan. Despite the powerful aura emanating from the man, Xiao Yuan remained calm and composed.

As the two groups faced off, the surrounding crowd quieted down considerably, their gazes filled with a variety of emotions.

"You must be Xiao Yuan? I've often heard Bai Shan mention you. Seeing you today, I can confirm your extraordinary bearing."

After staring at Xiao Yuan for a moment, Bai Cheng, whose face was slightly gloomy, suddenly smiled and even reached out his hand to Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Yuan squinted at Bai Cheng's actions, taking in the gloom in Bai Cheng's eyes. He chuckled and, under the watchful eyes of everyone, reached out and grasped Bai Cheng's hand.

As they clasped hands, Bai Cheng's smile vanished abruptly, and a powerful aura surged forth from his body, causing the robes of the surrounding crowd to flutter. Some of the weaker individuals even stumbled back a step, and the area where Bai Cheng's hand was clasped with Xiao Yuan's was instantly covered by dense Dou Qi.

Feeling the sudden increase in power in his palm and the slight pain, Xiao Yuan made no comment, but his palm began to exert force suddenly.

The sheer physical strength, comparable to that of a demonic beast, immediately caused Bai Shan's expression to change. Then, an extremely dangerous feeling suddenly rose in his heart, and Bai Shan quickly withdrew his hand with lightning speed.

Immediately afterward, he frowned and quickly raised his hand.

A wisp of black flame burned in his palm like a leech.

However, black ice crystals appeared around the flames, making it look quite eerie! It was these ice crystals that almost made him overlook the flames in his palm.

From a physical perspective, he didn't actually sense the flame at all.

However, the keen senses developed from long-term combat made him realize that something was wrong.

"Bang!"

As Xiao Yuan provided the voiceover, the flames exploded, turning into scattered black sparks that landed on Bai Cheng. Although he reacted quickly enough, the sparks still scorched his clothes, leaving them either charred yellow or black, making them look extremely unsightly.

In an instant, Bai Cheng's clothes became tattered and he looked quite disheveled.

"Stop pretending with me. Judging by the time, Bai Shan should still be recovering from his injuries. If you were truly that magnanimous, you wouldn't have brought so many people here. So, what do you want? I, Xiao Yuan, can handle it!"

Xiao Yuan looked at the somewhat disheveled Bai Shan and sneered.

Staring at the sneer on Xiao Yuan's face, Bai Cheng couldn't help but frown slightly. Was Xiao Yuan really confident, or was he out of his mind? He didn't give any face at all, and this kind of operation that made both sides lose face was really incomprehensible.

"What do you want? You dare to come to my White Gang's territory and injure many of my White Gang brothers. I have to give my brothers an explanation! I'll say it again: the Inner Academy has its Inner Academy rules. No matter what your status is outside or what your potential is, you have to stay down until you have the strength. But you have no strength, yet you still dare to be so arrogant and domineering. You are undoubtedly bringing shame upon yourself."

Bai Cheng sneered.

"Others who are incompetent and arrogant are just asking for trouble. So, is it the same for you, Bai Cheng, who are incompetent?" Just as Bai Cheng was about to teach Xiao Yuan, this junior brother who had 'asked for trouble,' a clear, cold voice suddenly came from the crowd. Upon hearing this familiar voice, Bai Cheng's expression changed slightly, and he said coldly, "Han Yue! What business is it of yours to meddle again?"

Suddenly, a path parted in the crowd, and seven or eight graceful figures slowly walked in. The fragrant breeze invigorated the onlookers. The one leading them was Han Yue, who had met Xiao Yuan once before.

The group behind Han Yue were all women, each wearing a crescent-shaped badge on their chest, clearly belonging to the same faction. Although these women were not as beautiful as Han Yue, their large group together was still very eye-catching. In this Inner Academy, where males made up nearly three-quarters of the space, women, especially beautiful women, were undoubtedly the most popular.

As soon as Han Yue and the others appeared, the surrounding gazes became much more intense, and whispers rang out incessantly.

"I just couldn't stand seeing you bullying a group of freshmen because of your status. If you're so capable, go find Lin Xiuya and Yan Hao and show off your power."

Han Yue's face remained as cold and indifferent as an iceberg. Her waist-length, dazzling silver hair, paired with a silver-white dress embroidered with purple patterns, made her look like a fairy, ethereal and aloof.

"You"

A slight anger flashed across Bai Cheng's face, and his lips twitched. Lin Xiuya and Yan Hao were both top ten experts on the "Strong Ranking," their strength reaching the Peak Dou Ling, and their forces ranked among the top five in the Inner Academy. How could he dare to act arrogantly in front of them? However, although he was angry, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous with Han Yue. In terms of both strength and influence, she was no weaker than him. Therefore, he could only give Xiao Yuan a gloomy look and sneer with a slightly mocking tone, "Your luck with women is indeed quite enviable."

"I've met Senior Han Yue."

Xiao Yuan ignored Bai Cheng, turned his head away, and cupped his hands in a smile.

"You're welcome. As I said before, if your Lion Heart Society can really be established, I can discuss cooperation with you. Today is just the right time."

Although Han Yue's voice was rather cold, it was clear to everyone that Han Yue had done this intentionally to arrive so quickly and stop Bai Cheng.

For a time, some busybodies began to speculate whether Han Yue, this icy beauty, had any designs on this rising star and promising junior.

"Hehe, I'll have to trouble you to wait a moment, senior. I still have a little trouble to deal with."

Xiao Yuan smiled, said something polite, and then turned to look at Bai Cheng.

"How about a six- Dou Ling, two Three-Star Dou Ling, and a few Da Dou Shi? Do you want to come at me all at once?"

Xiao Yuan spread his hands out, then slightly pulled them inward, striking a provocative pose.

Seeing this, Han Yue frowned slightly, but everyone's eyes were on Xiao Yuan, who had spoken arrogantly, so they naturally didn't see Han Yue's micro-expression.

"Alright, alright, I underestimated your courage. Come on, don't say I'm bullying you. Let's have a fight, just the two of us. If you lose, your Lion Heart Society be disbanded, and you'll have to join my White Gang!"

Bai Cheng couldn't help but laugh when he saw that Xiao Yuan was so ungrateful. Originally, because of Han Yue, he had already planned to return home. He didn't expect that Xiao Yuan would be so arrogant and even dare to say that he would challenge his entire White Gang.

"Xiao Yuan."

Seeing the two men locked in a tense standoff, Xiao Yu grabbed Xiao Yuan's arm with some concern.

"Don't worry, after this battle, our Lion Heart Society will be completely secure!" Xiao Yuan smiled and patted Xiao Yu's hand, then gently brushed Xiao Yu's hand off his arm, walked up to Bai Cheng, stared at Bai Cheng intently, and then asked lightly, "Before we begin, let me ask you, are you sure you don't want to come at me all at once?"

"Act recklessly!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Cheng's face darkened, and he coldly snorted. The aura of a six- Dou Ling erupted from his body once again! Seeing this, Xiao Yuan lightly stomped his feet on the ground, and his aura rose steadily. In no time, it had already surged back to the Dou Ling level.

"Even if you use secret techniques to enhance your strength, you're only at the level of a newly entered Dou Ling. With such strength, you think you can compete with me?" Bai Cheng was about to sneer when a burst of scorching energy erupted from Xiao Yuan's body once more. Black and white flames swept across the area, and his aura directly soared to the level of Four-Star Dou Ling! Feeling the surging Dou Qi within his five Qi Mansion, Xiao Yuan was slightly surprised.

Because he possesses five Qi Mansion, Xiao Yuan's Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations will have a less obvious effect than those of others.

After all, replenishing the Dou Qi of the five Qi Mansion requires an extremely terrifying amount of energy.

Even so, it was enough to shock Bai Cheng.

What secret technique would a Six-Star Dou Grandmaster need to use to raise their strength to the level of Four-Star Dou Ling?

Moreover, judging from the strength of this Dou Qi, it's probably not far from Five-Star Dou Ling. In that case, the gap between him and me, a six- Dou Ling, has been greatly reduced! "It's just some unorthodox methods. You think you can deal with me with such tricks? You're too naive!"

After calming himself down, Bai Cheng sneered, and a deep yellow spear appeared in his hand.

"Senior Bai Cheng, you talk too much nonsense."

The abundant energy caused Xiao Yuan's white robes to flutter even without wind, making him appear even more superior in comparison to Bai Cheng Xiao Yuan's tattered robes. His light and casual words only made Bai Cheng's face grow even more gloomy.

"I hope you won't utter any words of begging for mercy later." After saying this in a sinister tone, Bai Cheng finally stopped talking, gripped the deep yellow spear in his hand tightly, and the spear trembled slightly. Dense yellow Dou Qi surged out from his body, instantly enveloping the spear.

"Earth-type Dou Qi?" Xiao Yuan raised an eyebrow upon seeing the color of Bai Cheng's Dou Qi. This familiar Dou Qi was the most enduring and substantial. Compared to others of the same level, the battle time would undoubtedly be much longer. Moreover, this type of Dou Qi focused on defense. In battle, relying on the enduring and substantial nature of the Dou Qi aura, one could wear down the opponent. When fighting against someone with this type of Dou Qi, unleashing a burst of fierce power in a short period of time to suppress the opponent was the most suitable approach.

Feeling the immense power contained within his muscles and bones, Xiao Yuan looked up at Bai Cheng, stretched out his hand, and black mist emanated from it, condensing into the Mystic Ice Dragon Spear. He slowly took a few steps forward, the dragon spear in his hand dragging on the ground, making a rustling sound and leaving a white mark on the hard floor.

As Xiao Yuan approached, Bai Cheng felt his growing aura. He gripped the yellow spear tightly, his eyes fixed on Xiao Yuan's steps. Just as Xiao Yuan stepped within ten meters of him, a low Bai Cheng suddenly rang out from Bai Cheng's mouth. A powerful, deep yellow Dou Qi, like viscous yellow water, surged out from his body.

With a heavy stomp of his foot, Bai Cheng's figure transformed into a yellow shadow. At the tip of his spear, Dou Qi rapidly condensed. Using the momentum, his body overlapped with the spear. Under the shroud of Dou Qi, his body and the spear were almost fused together. The spear cut through the air with a hissing sound, displaying considerable power.

A six- Dou Ling expert, when he unleashes a powerful attack, can shatter even a boulder on the spot. Facing Bai Cheng's fierce opening attack, Xiao Yuan was completely unafraid. He also brandished his Mystic Ice Dragon Spear and thrust it out, aiming directly at Bai Cheng's throat. As for Bai Cheng's attack aimed at his chest, Xiao Yuan completely ignored it.

"Damn it, has this kid gone mad?"

Watching Xiao Yuan fight with such reckless abandon, Bai Cheng was sweating profusely. Was this battle really worth risking one's life for?

Xiao Yuan dared to be so reckless, but Bai Cheng did not. He immediately had to retract his spear and parry with it horizontally. The thick, earthy yellow Dou Qi brought a strong sense of security.

Xiao Yuan naturally ignored Bai Cheng's horror. With a powerful, oppressive whooshing sound, he thrust his spear fiercely at Bai Cheng, seizing the initiative and launching a fierce attack. The powerful force swept over Bai Cheng, who was caught off guard and fell into a brief panic.

However, Bai Cheng was, after all, a six- Dou Ling expert. Under Xiao Yuan's heavy attacks, he gradually stabilized. His Dou Qi, at the six- Dou Ling level, surged out and actually blocked Xiao Yuan's extremely heavy attack. As he became more familiar with it, he also began to launch a fierce counterattack. When he swung his spear, it was like a venomous snake hidden under the yellow sand, cunning and vicious. Every time he stabbed at Xiao Yuan, he would first strike some vital parts.

Two figures flashed across the arena, one black and one yellow, their Dou Qi dividing the battle area into two distinct zones. Each clash of spears created a visible ripple of energy that spread outwards, causing cracks to appear on the hard floor.
