Xiao Yan's Complete Victory, Nalan Yanran: Have We Met Somewhere Before?!
"Is that Xiao Yan on the field? What a magnificent young man!"
"She has a rather delicate appearance."
"Didn't you all sense that the amount of Dou Qi within him is imperceptible? That in itself is a message!"
"He had already reached the Nine-Star Dou Zhe when he left the Xiao Clan two years ago, and he might have already reached the level of Da Dou Shi by now."
"A hero emerges from among the young! With such skill, his future is limitless."
"I wonder if he still has any plans to get engaged."
Hearing the whispers, Xiao Yan closed his eyes and ignored them.
VIP seating.
"Pharaoh, can you feel it? This young man seems to possess a peculiar charisma," Jia Xingtian said to Fama.
Fama nodded in agreement, saying, "Indeed, although it was our first meeting, I felt an immediate liking for him, as if we had known each other for a long time."
Hai Bodong suppressed a laugh and chimed in, "Yes, I feel the same way."
Not far away, Nalan Jie looked at the boy on the field who could attract everyone's attention just by standing there, and regret arose in his heart again.
That day, when Yan Xiao was refining pills, he hesitated to step forward to help. Although he didn't say it explicitly, he understood that the already thin relationship between the Nalan Family and Yan Xiao had been completely severed.
Now that Xiao Yan is so dazzling, Nalan Jie feels a sense of frustration, like he's lost both the watermelon and the pumpkin.
Time passed slowly.
Under everyone's gaze,
Before the open gates of the Xiao Clan, a young girl dressed in a light blue dress and holding a slender sword slowly appeared.
The girl walked to the center of the Square and raised her longsword:
"Nalan Yanran Nalan Family has come to keep the appointment!"
Xiao Yan opened his eyes, his voice no longer deliberately lowered, but clearer than when he spoke to Yan Xiaoma: "Xiao Clan, Xiao Yan."
Nalan Yanran frowned slightly, instantly recognizing the familiarity in Xiao Yan's voice.
Without a second thought, she gripped her longsword tightly. "The Three-Year Agreement —I lost to you three years ago, and I will win back you in three years!"
Xiao Yan chuckled and raised the corners of his mouth, hoisting the heavy ruler that was stuck on the ground onto his shoulder. "I am skilled in body tempering. My physique and Dou Qi are like my left and right arms. Now I am only fighting you with my physique, which is equivalent to hiding one arm."
If you win, I apologize for defeating and humiliating you in front of everyone three years ago, and I acknowledge that it was you who broke off our engagement.
I win, you accept the divorce papers.
In any case, we have nothing to do with each other anymore!
Nalan Yanran remained completely unfazed. "Fine, it's as you say. No matter what... we'll have nothing to do with each other anymore!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Nalan Yanran felt a sudden, inexplicable throbbing pain in her heart.
She clutched her chest, and the sharp pain subsided.
She dismissed it as a misperception and continued, "I don't need you to give way. Your physique is the result of your hard work; why hide it?"
"Today, I will either win against you honorably, or I will lose to you honorably!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Nalan Yanran stomped her foot on the ground, and a sharp whooshing sound rang out. Her figure shot out like an arrow released from a bow.
"So fast!" Exclamations of surprise came from the sidelines.
Xiao Yan slightly turned his body to the side as he faced the attack, the heavy ruler still resting on his shoulder, and his feet did not move an inch.
But with just this slight turn of her body, Nalan Yanran's sword strike completely missed its mark.
With just one move, Jia Xingtian and the others in the VIP seats unanimously concluded. "That girl from the Nalan Family has lost."
Nalan Jie listened to everything completely, but had no intention of refuting it.
He could also see that this simple dodge had already revealed the difference in skill between the two.
The two are not even in the same league.
"How could this be?" Nalan Yanran muttered in shock, looking at Xiao Yan in disbelief.
His all-out sword strike didn't even make Xiao Yan budge!
This speed of reaction, and the ability to anticipate attacks...
"Impossible!" Nalan Yanran gritted her teeth, and her azure Dou Qi surged out wildly, pouring into the longsword in her hand.
A powerful aura erupted from her body.
"This is... Da Dou Shi!"
In the VIP section, a look of surprise appeared on Jia Xingtian's aged face. "And it's not just at the level of a newly entered Da Dou Shi. The solidity of this aura... Nine-Star Da Dou Shi!"
A helpless smile appeared in Yun Yun's eyes as she thought to herself, "Although it was a bit risky, I still won the gamble. I've increased my cultivation by Three-Star. Nine-Star Da Dou Shi at such a young age, if I hadn't met Xiao Yan..."
Yun Yun shook her head and didn't think about it anymore.
Gasps of surprise rose and fell throughout the arena.
"Nine-Star Da Dou Shi! Nalan Yanran has actually reached the Nine-Star Da Dou Shi!"
"How old is she? With such cultivation, is there anyone of her generation who can compare?"
"Don't speak too confidently. Don't forget that his sword just now didn't even touch Xiao Yan's clothes."
"This Three-Year Agreement is quite interesting. I wonder what level of cultivation this third son of the Xiao Clan has. Judging by his physical strength alone, he has indeed overwhelmed this young sect master of the Misty Cloud Sect. But if cultivation level is taken into account, the outcome is still uncertain."
"Nine-Star Da Dou Shi at this age is truly astonishing."
On the field, Nalan Yanran changed her starting stance, channeling her Dou Qi into her sword, and cyan sword energy continuously condensed.
She wanted to decide the outcome with a single sword strike!
The cyan sword energy continued to condense, making the sword appear to be covered with a white light, which continued to intensify.
At a certain moment, when the white light reached its limit, the sharp sword energy caused the expressions of the onlookers in the stands to turn solemn.
With a flick of her delicate hand, Nalan Yanran unleashed a cyan sword aura that transformed into a long sword of Dou Qi qi, swiftly piercing towards Xiao Yan.
This is the ultimate technique of the Misty Cloud Sect, High-grade Profound Tier Dou Technique.
The Extreme Wind - Setting Sun Radiance!
A cyan sword aura ripped through the sky, leaving scorching marks in the air wherever it passed. Even the bluestone bricks paved with the ground were torn apart by the sharp sword aura, leaving a deep ravine.
"This attack... has already touched the threshold of Dou Ling!" Jia Xingtian's expression was solemn. "The Nalan Family girl used the cultivation of Nine-Star Da Dou Shi to activate High-grade Profound Tier Dou Technique. Even ordinary Dou Ling experts wouldn't dare to take this power head-on!"
Fama's expression also changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "If the Xiao Clan brat doesn't activate his Dou Qi to resist, he might get injured!"
Most of the other people in the VIP section Fama the same view as Jia Xingtian Fa Ma.
Only Hai Bodong and Yun Yun, who knew Xiao Yan's alias "Yan Xiao," were not worried at all.
This was merely a duel whose outcome was decided long before the battle even began.
On the field, Nalan Yanran's beautiful face was slightly pale due to the excessive exertion of her Dou Qi. She was so exhausted that she knelt on one knee, but her eyes shone brightly as she stared intently at Xiao Yan, as if she had already seen the dawn of victory.
On the field, Xiao Yan finally moved.
Faced with the incoming cyan sword energy, he did not mobilize his Dou Qi, nor did he try to dodge. He simply picked up the Heavy Profound Ruler and seemingly slashed lightly in front of him.
Boom!
The sword energy collided with the heavy ruler, and within mere seconds, cracks appeared on the sword energy, which then turned into specks of starlight and disappeared.
Nalan Yanran stared blankly at the scene, her eyes lifeless.
Xiao Yan retracted the Heavy Profound Ruler and said softly, "I said I'd give you a hand, but that's all."
"You lost, but..."
Xiao Yan stepped forward and extended his hand. "You fought very well."
"Three years ago, you made a mistake, and when I reprimanded you, I didn't really consider your feelings."
"You came to the Xiao Clan to apologize yesterday, so I'll get it back for you today."
"I'm sorry, Nalan Yanran."
After saying this, Xiao Yan waited for Nalan Yanran to take his hand, and then he helped Nalan Yanran up.
This would be a perfect reconciliation scenario, with no further connection whatsoever, and any future mentions of each other would simply be met with a smile.
However, the script doesn't seem to be developing the way he expected.
Nalan Yanran stared at Xiao Yan's outstretched hand, her gaze gradually focusing, a glint of shrewdness flashing in her eyes.
She suddenly reached out, grabbed Xiao Yan Xiao Yan's wrist, and pulled his hand to her eyes to examine it closely.
Xiao Yan frowned slightly, puzzled.
Nalan Yanran raised her head, her breathing rapid. "Have we met somewhere before?"
