Strongest Collision

Under the watchful eyes of countless people, the two figures collided with a deafening roar, like meteors crashing together, sending up a massive shockwave of Dou Qi.

"Laugh!"

The heavy ruler in his hand sliced through the air like a black lightning bolt, carrying a fierce gust of wind that caused the space itself to ripple, and slashed down fiercely at Qin Zhen in front of him. The force was so strong that even the air beneath the ruler was completely expelled, and the deep sonic boom sounded like an explosion from underground, muffled and eerie.

The intense wind pressed down on Qin Zhen, causing his clothes to cling tightly to his skin. However, his face remained unmoved by the fiercely slashing heavy ruler. His eyes calmly watched the increasingly heavy ruler, and when it was only half a foot away from his head, Qin Zhen's whip mace slashed out instantly.

"Ding~!"

The heavy clanging of metal, accompanied by the powerful gusts of wind from the release of Dou Qi, instantly reverberated throughout the arena. Those closer to the platform had their clothes and hair billowing backward in that instant.

The heavy ruler's next attack was cut off, and Xiao Yan's momentum also froze for a moment. Qin Zhen, however, completely seized this extremely difficult-to-detect pause, and with a flick of his arm, the whip mace instantly deflected the heavy ruler, and then slammed into Xiao Yan's chest.

The heavy ruler was deflected, and Xiao Yan reacted instantly. His hand holding the Black Heavy Ruler detached itself with lightning speed, and then he bent his body downwards to dodge Qin Zhen's sweeping whip.

After dodging Qin Zhen's sweeping whip, the Black Heavy Ruler that had slipped from Xiao Yan's hand instantly returned to his grasp. Xiao Yan then retaliated by sweeping the ruler at Qin Zhen in the same manner.

"Although Xiao Yan's Dou Qi is a bit weak, his control over the timing of battle is in no way inferior to his opponent Qin Zhen's." Jin Feng commented from the stage during the intense battle.

"Indeed. However, at the very beginning of the competition, Xiao Yan had flames surging forth, and then his cultivation level increased significantly. This must be a secret technique. But secret techniques have time limits, so if Xiao Yan doesn't achieve a result within this time, he won't have another chance." After Jin Feng finished speaking, Shao Qing nodded and added.

Jin Feng and Shao Qing are both from the Middle Continent, and both have already advanced to the Dou Wang level. Therefore, when Xiao Yan used the Heavenly Fire Three Xuan Transformations, it was already recognized as a secret technique. That's why Shao Qing was able to tell him about it immediately.

"Eight Extremes Collapse!"

As Jin Feng and Shao Qing were talking, Xiao Yan found an opportunity in the arena. His deep shout suddenly rang out, and his fist slammed straight towards Qin Zhen. When the fist reached the middle of the way, the force of the wind increased exponentially, and the continuous low explosions of air, like firecrackers, rang in everyone's ears.

As Xiao Yan's fist struck, Qin Zhen's body shone with golden light, and a phantom image of a bell bowl immediately appeared.

"Bang!"

A loud burst of energy suddenly rang out in the arena, and a ripple that could be described as an energy storm suddenly surged out from the point of contact between the two. Where the ripple passed, the floor made a series of cracking sounds as it could not bear the weight, and cracks spread rapidly from under the two of them like a spider web.

"This fist technique has probably reached the Profound Tier High-grade. It's just a pity that under Qin Zhen's defense, a large part of the attack has been deflected. So the damage to Qin Zhen is not enough to end the match." Seeing the situation on the scene, Shao Qing said.

"It seems Qin Zhen is about to use his Trump Card to end the battle." After Shao Qing finished speaking, Jin Feng Xiao Yan saw Qin Zhen shake off Xiao Yan and raise his whip and mace towards Xiao Yan, his fighting Dou Qi surging.

"Old Jin, can you sense the Fire Attribute Dou Qi gathering towards Xiao Yan's ruler?"

"Old Jin, I'm asking you a question!" Seeing that he didn't get a response, Shao Qing spoke again, turning his head to look at Jin Feng.

At this moment, Jin Feng had already stood up from his seat. Only when Shao Qing looked over did he speak in a heavy tone, "Earth Tier Dou Technique!"

As Jin Feng finished speaking, Lin Ming sensed that both Jin Feng and Shao Qing were looking at him at the same time.

"Why are you looking at me?" Lin Ming asked helplessly, facing their gazes.

Upon hearing Lin Ming's words, Jin Feng and Shao Qing turned their attention back to their seats. Jin Feng then sat down again and announced the result, "This match is now over."

They were both very clear about the power of Earth Tier Dou Technique. After all, even with their combined strength, they had been defeated by Lin Ming's Earth Tier Dou Technique.

Although Xiao Yan's cultivation level is lower than Lin Ming's back then, and the power of his Earth Tier Dou Technique is also less, Qin Zhen, who is fighting against him, is also weaker than the two of them back then. Therefore, it is impossible for him to withstand this Earth Tier Dou Technique now.

The result of the match was, of course, as expected. Under Xiao Yan Flame Splitting Wave Ruler, Qin Zhen was naturally defeated.

However, unlike in the original story, Xiao Yan did not faint this time.

In the original novel, Xiao Yan's Flame Splitting Wave Ruler Dou Technique and Liu Qing's Great Mountain Split Dou Technique collided with each other, causing erosion and resulting in the release of energy.

Faced with Xuan Yi's energy, in order to prevent the students in the audience from being harmed, Great Elder Su Qian had no choice but to use Space Power to seal the energy within the arena. This caused Xiao Yan and Liu Qing to be directly blasted off the arena and knocked unconscious by the impact of Xuan Yi's energy.

However, Qin Zhen's Dou Technique was directly shattered by Xiao Yan's Flame Splitting Wave Ruler, so there was no longer any energy release. Therefore, apart from Qin Zhen being knocked off the stage and spitting out a mouthful of blood, Xiao Yan was simply exhausted of his Dou Qi.

"This... this means Xiao Yan?"

"Nonsense, didn't you see Qin Zhen was knocked off the stage and coughing up blood?"

"Oh, I'm still reeling from Xiao Yan's Earth Tier Dou Technique."

"It's okay, I just realized it myself."

"Cough!"

The murmurs at the scene gradually subsided after Great Elder Su Qian coughed.

"I declare Xiao Yan the winner of this match." After the noise subsided, Great Elder Su Qian immediately announced.

As Great Elder Su Qian finished speaking, enthusiastic applause and cheers erupted throughout the arena.

At this moment, Xiao Yan proved with his strength that he was still the invincible dark horse, so no one was stingy with praise when facing a strong opponent.

After a long while, as the noise gradually subsided, Great Elder Su Qian coughed again, and then slowly said, "The battle for the Last Place spot in the top ten begins now!"

As Great Elder Su Qian's words fell, the atmosphere intensified once more. However, for many, who had initially thought this final match would be the strongest clash, the outcome of the previous game had already shifted.
