Feeling the sharp wind behind his head, Xiao Yuan remained calm, his Douqi Gauze Robe appearing before he threw a punch at Mentor Ruo Lin.

Mentor Ruo Lin was also somewhat surprised. Her attack was definitely aimed at the enemy's defense, yet Xiao Yuan only managed to condense Douqi Gauze Robe for defense. Could it be that he was confident that his attack could threaten her?

Ruo Lin couldn't see through Xiao Yuan's true nature, but she didn't dare to be careless.

"Force-Redirecting Water Mirror!"

As her soft shout subsided, a large amount of light blue Dou Qi suddenly surged out from her palm, eventually forming an oval-shaped blue Water Mirror in front of her.

The Force-Redirecting Water Mirror is a protective Dou Technique that can only be mastered by those who cultivate Water Attribute Douqi. It is not high-level, only Yellow Rank High Level, but it is extremely practical. Many powerful individuals on the Douqi Continent who are proficient in Water Attribute Douqi can use their own powerful Dou Qi to create a strange Water Mirror with the force-dissipating effect.

The Water Mirror was more than half a meter thick, and under the setting sun, it reflected red and blue light.

However, upon seeing this scene, Xiao Yuan's lips curled up in a somewhat eerie smile.

He abruptly stopped his forward momentum, then ducked to dodge the whip that had suddenly veered far from the back of his head. Immediately afterward, black light flashed on his palm, and he plunged it into the Water Mirror.

Looking at Xiao Yuan, who easily pierced his palm into the Water Mirror, Mentor Ruo Lin was first stunned, and then her expression changed.

A stream of black light emanated from Xiao Yuan's palm, and in a short while, it turned the blue Water Mirror into a deep blue.

At the same time, Ruo Lin clearly sensed that her control over the Water Mirror seemed to be gradually weakening!

What's going on? The onlookers outside the arena stared at Xiao Yuan in astonishment at this bizarre scene.

Facing a powerful expert at the Da Dou Shi level, not only did they take the initiative to attack, but it seems they actually achieved some results! The icy black Dou Qi quickly lowered the temperature of the Water Mirror, and then the dark blue Water Mirror slowly condensed into Ice Mirror. Mentor Ruo Lin completely lost control of the Water Mirror!

"Ice Mirror, explode!" After letting out a low roar, the dark blue Ice Mirror shattered into countless ice fragments.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yuan's hands formed a seal with lightning speed, and the countless dark blue ice fragments seemed to be drawn back towards Xiao Yuan, forming crescent-shaped ice blades around his body.

Immediately afterwards, the condensed ice blades connected with each other, forming a spiraling Ice Blade Storm.

Mystic Ice Whirlwind Kill!

Xiao Yuan reached out and pressed down in front of him, directly pushing out the dark blue Ice Blade Storm.

The onlookers were horrified by the overwhelming attack.

Such a terrifying attack would cripple anyone who even touched it.

As a mentor in the academy, Ruo Lin naturally had exceptional insight and could tell at a glance that this was probably a Profound Rank High Level Dou Technique!

Moreover, after drawing upon the Dou Qi within his Water Mirror, its power had already surpassed the limits that Xiao Yuan, a Dou Shi, could unleash.

Even if she were Five-Star Dou Grandmaster, she would have to take such an attack seriously! Ruo Lin slightly parted her red lips, took a deep breath, and then gripped the blue whip tightly in her hand. Deep blue Dou Qi was suddenly poured into the whip and then gushed out.

The enormous blue energy, like a fountain, churned and surged in mid-air. After a moment, it condensed into a giant water snake that was three or four meters long.

As soon as the water snake appeared, it raised its head to the sky and let out a silent roar. Water droplets fell from its body, soaking the ground.

Upon seeing the enormous water serpent, the Jia Nan Academy students gasped in astonishment. "Mid-level Xuan-rank Dou Technique: Water Mandala?"

"My God, the mentor actually used this move. It seems that your Xiao Yuan is going to suffer a lot this time."

Xue Ni shook her head in surprise and couldn't help but say to Xiao Yu.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu was not particularly worried about Xiao Yuan's safety.

Back in the academy, she had the privilege of witnessing Mentor Ruo Lin unleash her full power with "Water Mandala." The water snake formed from her Dou Qi was a full seven or eight meters long, far surpassing the miniature version she was in now.

If it were dealing with ordinary people, Mentor Ruo Lin would have no problem showing mercy.

But if it were Xiao Yuan instead, things would probably be much worse!

To everyone's astonishment, the water snake, under Mentor Ruo Lin's control, charged toward the deep blue Ice Blade Storm unleashed by Xiao Yuan with terrifying force.

"Boom!"

The two attacks collided, unleashing a powerful shockwave that forced many people around to retreat. Xiao Yan, who had only briefly interfered with Mentor Ruo Lin's whip with his Fire Blowing Palm, raised his arm to block in front of him.

"Teacher, is Third Brother alright?"

Xiao Yan asked himself quietly.

"Hehe, the instructors at the Jia Nan Academy are probably in for a rough time. Based on what I know of your Third Brother, this only Mystic High-Rank Dou Technique is either used to decide the outcome of a battle or has some other purpose. It's definitely not for the purpose of gaining the upper hand in a direct confrontation. Just wait and see!"

Upon hearing this, the Yao Lao remained silent for a moment, then spoke with a hint of mockery.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes and stared intently at Xiao Yuan's back.

After his trip out, Third Brother has become even more mysterious! Click!

Immediately afterwards, the sound of ice shattering rang out, and a slight smile appeared on Mentor Ruo Lin's lips.

The next moment, the giant water snake broke through the Ice Blade Storm, blasting out a sky full of ice mist, and finally slammed into Xiao Yuan, who was still in the posture of pushing out his palm.

Splash! Water shot into the sky, engulfing Xiao Yuan's figure.

Looking at the area obscured by the water curtain, Mentor Ruo Lin smiled slightly. With the power she controlled, this attack was enough to defeat Xiao Yuan! "Teacher?"

Xiao Yan was shocked to see that Xiao Yuan was actually using his physical body to withstand the attack of Da Dou Shi.

"Why don't you unleash your soul perception and take another look?"

The Yao Lao's voice rang out immediately afterward.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan immediately complied, unleashing his soul perception to search Xiao Yuan's location for a long time, but found nothing! Then, he expanded the range of his soul perception, and soon, he abruptly turned his gaze to the back of Mentor Ruo Lin.

At the same time, Mentor Ruo Lin seemed to sense something as well, her expression changed slightly, and she was about to swing her long whip behind her back when a slightly cool hand lightly touched her back.

The icy chill made her delicate body tremble slightly.

"Mentor Ruo Lin, it seems you really have to give me this leave."

Xiao Yuan's soft laughter echoed throughout the room.

The crowd stared in disbelief at the figure that had appeared behind Ruo Lin without warning.

"How is this possible?"

Xue Ni held Xiao Yu's hand, her face full of disbelief.

Xiao Yuan's performance was truly terrifying!

Dou Shi) actually dodged the attack of Da Dou Shi and appeared behind her!

Although Xiao Yuan didn't take action, and even if he did, it wouldn't have been effective, it was enough to illustrate some points.

Ruo Lin also looked astonished; clearly, she hadn't expected Xiao Yuan to have such strength.

Although she could conjure a water film on her body to defend against Xiao Yuan's attacks, if Xiao Yuan had a weapon, that attack would have been enough to seriously injure her.

Is this a one- Dou Shi? Even a nine- Dou Shi wouldn't be much better! Ruo Lin sighed with a wry smile, then said somewhat helplessly, "Fine, you win. The holiday is yours!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan smiled and withdrew his hand.

"Heh, it was just luck. If you went all out, mentor, I definitely wouldn't have been able to withstand it!"

Xiao Yuan said with a smile.

"You're just a one- Dou Shi. If I go all out, wouldn't that be like kidnapping you to the Jia Nan Academy?"

Ruo Lin rolled her eyes at Xiao Yuan upon hearing this and said reproachfully.

"Hehe, thanks a lot, mentor!"

Xiao Yuan smiled and said.

Looking at Xiao Yuan's handsome face full of smiles, Ruo Lin couldn't muster any anger anymore. After sighing, she asked, "How did you dodge my attack just now?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan raised an eyebrow, then immediately fell silent, his body stiffening on the spot.

Immediately afterwards, Ruo Lin felt someone pat her shoulder from the other side.

"Um?"

She turned her head and saw Xiao Yuan smiling and greeting her.

Seeing this, Ruo Lin's eyes widened, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she turned her head and saw that "Xiao Yuan" was still standing there.

???

After a moment's hesitation, she reached out and touched it, finding it cold and very slippery.

"This is... ice?"

Ruo Lin said in disbelief.

"Yeah, it's just a False Body. Eyes can lie."

Xiao Yuan nodded upon hearing this and said softly.

Previously, everyone's attention was focused on his own Mystic Ice Whirlwind Kill, so naturally no one noticed that what remained stationary was just an Ice Phantom Body of his own.

As for its true form, it lurked inside the Mystic Ice Whirlwind Kill, and at the moment the Xuan Bing Storm exploded, it avoided everyone's sight and appeared behind Mentor Ruo Lin.

It's actually quite simple; it's based on the principle of exploiting blind spots.

However, there is no such theory in the Douqi Continent, which is why Xiao Yuan appears so elusive.

In fact, from God's perspective of soul perception, his every move was under the observation of the Yao Lao.

Even so, it was still enough to amaze everyone.

"How can it be so realistic?"

Upon Mentor Ruo Lin asked with some confusion.

"Hehe, the purpose of this Dou Technique is simply to create a body that is indistinguishable from a real one. If it weren't realistic, it would probably have been lost long ago."

Xiao Yuan smiled and nodded.

This Ice Phantom Body is Profound Rank High Level Dou Technique, primarily designed for survival. It is the only Ice Attribute Dou Technique left behind by the predecessor from the Monster Mountain Range, highlighting its immense value.

It's a little late, sob sob!
