Terrifying Speed That Shocked the Entire Crowd

"Han Yue, are you sure you want this kid to come with us?"

A dark-skinned young man in yellow looked at the fair-skinned and handsome Xiao Yuan, frowned, and asked.

He could tell at a glance that Xiao Yuan's current aura was only at the Da Dou Shi level. With such strength, how could he possibly deal with the Snow Demon Sky Ape? Was he sure he wasn't just here to cause trouble?

"So good-looking and so young, are you Xiao Yuan, the freshman who defeated Yao Sheng?"

Suddenly, a rough voice rang out. Xiao Yuan looked over and saw that the speaker was a burly man with a stubble on his face. He was two heads taller than the average person, and his massive size gave him a strange sense of oppression. His exposed forearms had clearly defined muscles.

Clearly, this person is a power-type athlete.

"Yes, it's me."

Xiao Yuan nodded, his humble yet assertive attitude prompting Yan Hao, who had asked the question, to nod slightly.

He liked this personality! Because it was so similar to his own! "With the strength of Da Dou Shi, he took on the White Fiends Team one-on-one, defeating Bai Cheng, a six- Dou Ling, Yao Sheng, Seven-Star Dou Ling. This performance is even better than mine back then. It's quite a sight to behold. These new students are truly fearless like newborn calves."

A handsome young man in a blue robe stood to the side, smiling wryly as he remarked.

His simple blue robe and calm demeanor make him very easy to like.

Lin Xiuya, second on the Strong Ranking!

Feeling the powerful Dou Qi within Lin Xiuya's body, Xiao Yuan's eyes flickered slightly. Judging from the situation, Lin Xiuya had already touched the threshold of advancing to the Dou Wang Stage.

"Tsk, that's not bad, but with this level of strength, I'm afraid it's not enough to deal with that Snow Demon Sky Ape, is it?"

Upon hearing this, the dark-faced man in yellow looked at Xiao Yuan with more seriousness, but still glanced at Han Yue with some displeasure.

"If I don't have the strength, then I'm afraid this senior should go back first, because you are even less capable of dealing with the Snow Demon Sky Ape."

Xiao Yuan smiled faintly upon hearing this, but his words sounded rather arrogant to everyone.

"It seems this junior doesn't have a clear understanding of the top ten on the Strong Ranking."

Upon hearing this, the man in yellow's already dark face darkened even further.

Han Yue frowned slightly upon seeing this, but still didn't say anything. After all, although Xiao Yuan's battle record was extremely impressive, he was still a bit lacking in the top ten of the Strong Ranking, which were almost all at the Peak Dou Ling.

"No, it's that you don't have a clear understanding of my strength. Defeating Yao Sheng was two months ago. Two months is enough time for me to improve my combat power again."

Xiao Yuan shook his head and, unusually, said a few more words.

To be honest, if a fight really broke out, all I needed to do was activate the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations and combine it with the Three Thousand Lightning Movement, which would be enough to instantly kill this yellow-robed youth in front of me.

It's not because he's bad at the game, but because the speed of Three Thousand Lightning Movement is terrifying. The effect of its first use will definitely be amazing!

"Hmph! Why don't you and I go to the arena and have a match first? If you lose, just stay out of the way and don't get in my way."

The young man in yellow said with a sneer.

However, the next moment, a faint crackling sound of lightning suddenly rang out, and at the same time, an incomparably powerful aura erupted. Under the shocked gazes of Lin Xiuya, Yan Hao, and Han Yue, Xiao Yuan actually appeared directly behind the yellow-robed youth, his hand, emanating a chilling aura, already placed on the back of the yellow-robed youth's neck.

"So what if you lose?"

As Xiao Yuan chuckled, a deep sense of shock appeared on the faces of Han Yue and the other two.

Is this reasonable?

Da Dou Shi instantly kills Peak Dou Ling?

Before the young man in yellow could even use his Dou Qi to retaliate, he was easily subdued by Xiao Yuan. He was sweating profusely and felt incredulous.

How can this kid be so fast?

Moreover, the power contained in this palm was so formidable that it was probably comparable to that of himself at the Peak Dou Ling.

"I didn't expect Junior Brother Xiao Yuan to be so sharp. I've never used such methods before."

Lin Xiuya looked at the lingering image of Xiao Yuan that was still gradually disappearing beside Han Yue, a trace of solemnity flashing in his eyes, but he still smiled and said.

"Does Senior Lin need to go all out against Bai Cheng and Yao Sheng?"

Amidst the rumble of thunder, Xiao Yuan returned to his original position and said with a faint smile.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiuya was taken aback at first, but then he understood what Xiao Yuan meant.

So the previous battles weren't even your limit? Huh? Lin Xiuya suddenly felt a little dizzy. Are the freshmen these days so monstrous? The others also understood Xiao Yuan's meaning. They weren't stupid. Judging from the speed and aura Xiao Yuan Xiao Yuan had just unleashed, he was more than qualified to be on par with them. If they looked down on him because of his apparent strength, they would only be asking for trouble.

Although the young man in yellow lost face, he was the one who initiated the trouble. In addition, he was not confident that he could defend against Xiao Yuan's surprise attack at such close range again. So he could only purse his lips and then show Xiao Yuan a friendly smile.

He didn't want to follow in Bai Cheng's and Yao Sheng's footsteps and become a stepping stone for Xiao Yuan to improve his ranking on the Strong Ranking.

"Since everyone agrees, let's set off!"

Han Yue snapped out of her daze, looked at Xiao Yuan, and then spoke.

"Okay, sure."

Upon hearing this, the others naturally had no objections, and then the five streaks of light began to travel swiftly towards a certain place on the Back Mountain of the Inner Academy.

The five of them were quite fast. After running for half an hour, they arrived at the outskirts of a small valley under Han Yue's guidance.

On the innermost part of the valley, on the mountain wall, there is a huge, dark Mountain Cave. Presumably, the Earth Core Body Tempering Fluid is inside.

However, it seems that there is more than just Earth Core Body Tempering Fluid in the Mountain Cave.

Feeling the oppressive aura of a fifth-tier magical beast emanating from the valley, everyone's expressions turned solemn.

"What do we do?"

Yan Hao asked in a deep voice.

"Let's lure out that Snow Demon Sky Ape first."

Lin Xiuya suggested.

Upon hearing this, the others nodded in agreement.

Although they outnumbered the Snow Demon Sky Ape, they were still far inferior. If they were to enter the Mountain Cave and fight the Snow Demon Sky Ape, they would be courting death.

Yan Hao flipped his hand and took out a huge iron hammer from his Storage Ring. The hammer was jet black and reflected a thick, dark light under the sunlight.

Judging from the slightly bulging veins on his arm, the weight of this dark iron hammer must be quite considerable.

Immediately afterwards, Yan Hao nodded to Xiao Yuan and the other three, then turned around and flew out, his iron hammer slamming down, the hammer shadows raging through the valley, and in an instant, the entire valley began to shake violently.

This method of striking the mountain to scare the monkeys is simple and crude, yet effective.

Soon, a deafening roar, like a thunderclap, suddenly resounded from the Mountain Cave.

The next moment, amidst the earth-shaking tremors and heavy footsteps, a huge figure roared out of the Mountain Cave and immediately locked onto Yan Hao, who was about to demolish its home.

It was a giant white ape, three or four zhang tall. It stood upright, exuding a sharp, icy aura. Heavy breaths came out from its large nostrils, like two wisps of white smoke. Its arms were quite long, and its claws were as big as two adult heads. Occasionally, it would swing its claws, sending out several gusts of wind that cleaved the nearby boulders into pieces. Its pair of blood-red eyes were filled with rage and killing intent. At this moment, those blood-red eyes were staring fiercely at Yan Hao and Xiao Yuan and his group of four, who were making no attempt to conceal their auras at the entrance of the valley.

"Damn it, it's an adult Snow Demon Sky Ape."

After truly sensing the aura of the Snow Demon Sky Ape, a more solemn expression appeared on everyone's faces.

The Snow Demon Sky Ape before them had fully matured, possessing strength equivalent to Three-Star Dou Wang. Of the five of them, Han Yue was too weak to participate, and while Xiao Yuan's speed earlier was astonishing, his direct combat strength was uncertain. At most, they were only four Peak Dou Ling cultivators. To deal with a Three-Star Dou Wang level magical beast was quite a challenge! However, they had no intention of giving up. Since they were already here, how would they know the outcome if they didn't try?

As Lin Xiuya landed, the others followed suit and came to Yan Hao's side.

"This big guy is really troublesome. Han Yue, is that thing you're talking about really inside? Don't try to trick us into being your free henchmen. Even some of the elders in the Inner Academy can't beat this Snow Demon Sky Ape. If it comes to one-on-one combat, none of us here can defeat it. Once it goes berserk, we'll be in big trouble."

Yan Hao couldn't help but confirm, after all, dealing with this Snow Demon Sky Ape was an extremely troublesome matter, and if it turned out that the information was false, he would be furious.

"Don't worry, Senior Yan Hao Yan Hao. I'm aware of the dangers involved, so I wouldn't joke about something like this. If anything goes wrong afterward and you want to hold me accountable, I won't shirk my responsibility."

Han Yue shook her head, her voice as clear and cold as a mountain spring, giving people a strange feeling as if ice water was flowing through their hearts.

"Haha, Yan Hao, Han Yue knows how to weigh things like this, so you don't need to doubt it too much. If there really is such a thing in the valley, it will be of great benefit to us. The competition is in four months. If we can improve our strength during this time, then the position of elder will be just around the corner."

Lin Xiuya comforted him with a smile.

"After all, it is a magical beast comparable to Dou Wang expert. Even with our strength, it is not impossible for us to be seriously injured or killed on the spot if we are not careful. It would be better to confirm it."

The man in yellow stared at the Snow Demon Sky Ape and spoke solemnly.

"Hehe, everyone who makes it into the top ten of the Strong Ranking has some hidden tricks up their sleeve. Although our true strength is indeed no match for this Snow Demon Sky Ape, if we were to actually fight, it would probably be the one to suffer."

Lin Xiuya chuckled softly, his slender fingers lightly flicking the cyan longsword he held in his hand. Instantly, a crisp sound rang out, and as the sound spread, wisps of almost tangible wind suddenly appeared out of thin air beside him, swirling and whistling incessantly.

"Don't worry, although the Snow Demon Sky Ape is powerful, with my speed, there's no way he can hurt anyone under my nose."

Xiao Yuan said with a faint smile, his tone quite confident.

"Indeed, Junior Brother Xiao Yuan's speed is truly astonishing."

Lin Xiuya nodded in agreement. Even though he had cultivated Wind Attribute Dou Qi, he knew he couldn't match Xiao Yuan's terrifying speed.

The man in yellow, who had experienced it firsthand, shut his mouth upon hearing this. Although it was embarrassing just now, he had to admit that with a speedster like Xiao Yuan as a backup, their margin for error was indeed much higher.

"Well, since that's the case, then let's make a move. Han Yue's strength is still a bit weak, so it's best if she doesn't get involved. You can just keep an eye on the surroundings."

Lin Xiuya pointed his long sword slightly at the ground and chuckled.

"Hmm." Upon hearing this, Han Yue hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly, tapped her toes on the boulder, and gracefully retreated, finally standing upright on a treetop with a wide view.

"Hehe, everyone, it's been a long time since we joined forces. I wonder if you've made any progress?"

Seeing Han Yue retreat, Lin Xiuya smiled faintly, his green robe trembled slightly, and a powerful aura suddenly surged out from his body. Judging from the strength of this aura, it even seemed to have the meaning of surpassing the Dou Ling.

Yan Hao, standing to the side, gripped the black iron hammer tightly in his hand and swung it fiercely in front of him. Instantly, a terrifying force tore through the air, producing a sharp sound, and an equally powerful aura also erupted.

At the same time, the young man in yellow also unleashed an aura that was no less formidable.

"Junior Brother Xiao Yuan, stop hiding your strength. Just now, your aura was almost as strong as mine!"

The young man in yellow smiled at Xiao Yuan and said.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan nodded, and then his aura suddenly soared like a rocket. Under the astonished gazes of Lin Xiuya and the others, it rose all the way to the Five-Star Dou Ling. After pausing for a moment, black and white flames burst forth. Although his aura was only that of an eighth- Dou Ling, his Dou Qi strength was no weaker than that of Peak Dou Ling.

"What a miraculous secret technique."

Lin Xiuya was a little envious. Secret techniques that could temporarily boost strength were extremely rare, and they all had side effects. But looking at Xiao Yuan, it was as if he had no side effects at all, which was really outrageous! In the arena, as if sensing the battle atmosphere that was spreading around, the crimson in the eyes of the Snow Demon Sky Ape became much more intense. Its claws, which were like black iron, slammed heavily onto its chest covered with white fur. Instantly, a visible ripple of energy spread out, and where the energy spread, the surrounding boulders cracked with a loud crack.

"Foolish humans, don't even think about taking the Earth Core Body Tempering Fluid! Retreat now, and I might spare your lives!"

The Snow Demon Sky Ape raised its massive head, its blood-red eyes fixed on the group. After a long silence, its deep, violent voice suddenly boomed like thunder in the ears of everyone around it.
