The outcome was the same

Hu Gan frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "Never look down on others, especially those you don't know well, understand?"

Hu Jia was dumbfounded and asked, "Old man, what do you mean by that?"

Hu Gan's words caused Old Man Huo and the other two elders to turn around. Seeing their questioning looks, Hu Gan shook his head slightly and said, "Let's wait and see. If I'm not mistaken, Bai Shan will probably miss his chance to enter the Inner Academy this time!"

Hu Jia looked incredulous. She, Bai Shan, and that madman from the Law Enforcement Team were all roughly equal in strength. If Bai Shan wasn't Xiao Yu's match, then wouldn't that mean she, Hu Jia, wasn't Xiao Yu's match either?

Under the watchful eyes of countless people, Xiao Yu stood up and slowly stretched. At that moment, a system voice suddenly echoed in his mind, "Host, please accept the hidden mission: Defeat all opponents and become the first place in the selection competition. Reward: High-level Ice Attribute Earth Tier High-Grade Dou Technique: Frostless!"

"Next check-in location: Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower, Inner Academy Jia Nan Academy. Reward: Chaos Flame!"

Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment. Chaos Flame? This flame doesn't seem to have appeared on the Dou Qi Continent before. And this Earth Tier High-Grade Dou Technique, the Ice Attribute is not bad. In this way, he has two Earth Tier Low-Grade Dou Technique and two Earth Tier High-Grade Dou Technique!

Xiao Yan then came to his side and chuckled, "Looks like even the heavens want you to personally teach that Bai Shan a lesson!"

Xiao Yu shrugged helplessly and said, "What can we do?"

Xun'er smiled at Xiao Yu from behind and said, "Go, Brother Xiao Yu! And you too, Third Brother!"

Xiao Yu and Xiao Yan glanced at Xun'er, smiled at each other, and then leaped down from the high platform like roc spreading its wings, each arriving at their respective venues.

At this moment, Bai Shan stood on the stage, looking at Xiao Yu before him. A hint of gloom flashed in his eyes, but a slight smile appeared on his face as he said, "Bai Shan!"

"Xiao Yu!" Xiao Yu replied with a faint smile, without any other nonsense. He could take this unlucky guy as an opportunity to test the Wind Xun Dou Technique he had just obtained. He had learned the first move of the Wind Xun Dou Technique in his dream cultivation last night, and one night was enough for him to master it. He just didn't know how powerful it was!

As soon as the referee announced the start of the match, almost everyone's eyes turned to the opposite direction where Xiao Yu and Bai Shan were located.

Bai Shan seemed to relish the moment when he was the center of attention. With a flick of his hand, a long, silver-white spear appeared, its shaft shimmering with a faint glow—clearly a weapon inlaid with Magic Core. Holding the spear, Bai Shan said calmly, "Please enlighten me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Shan's silver Lightning Attribute Dou Qi swirled around him, emitting a crackling sound. He stomped heavily on the stage, and his body suddenly transformed into a streak of silver light, shooting towards Xiao Yu like lightning.

Xiao Yu, standing opposite, remained calm and composed, seemingly oblivious to the approaching Bai Shan.

A chorus of boos erupted from the stands. "That's it? Were they scared out of their wits by Senior Bai Shan?"

"Why isn't he moving? Is he really paralyzed with fear?"

Instructor Ruo Lin, who had been watching Xiao Yu and Xiao Yan closely, was also extremely nervous. Her delicate hands clenched tightly, and she was shouting in her heart, "Get out of the way! Get out of the way right now!"

Even if Xiao Yu were to lose at this point, and Xun'er and Xiao Yan were to successfully enter the Inner Academy, she could still be promoted to Profound Tier Instructor. However, she still hoped that Xiao Yu could go further. When Ruolin heard that Xiao Yu's opponent was Bai Shan, she foresaw this scene. However, she did not expect that Xiao Yu would be so frightened as soon as he came up!

Xiao Yu nervously grabbed Xun'er's small hand and asked, "What's wrong with Xiao Yu?"

Xun'er chuckled softly, "Don't worry, Brother Xiao Yu will be fine. I believe in him!"

Seeing this, Hu Jia sneered and said, "See? What did I tell you? Xiao Yu couldn't even withstand one move from Bai Shan, let alone advance to the Inner Academy. What a pity for a spot!"

Only Hu Gan and the other three people who witnessed this scene had solemn expressions. Hu Gan glared at Hu Jia and hissed, "Take a good look and see if that's Xiao Yu!"

Hu Jia frowned slightly, looking at him again with some anger. She saw that "Xiao Yu" did indeed seem a bit strange, like a reflection in the water, not quite real!

Bai Shan watched Xiao Yu approach, his heart brimming with excitement and disdain. "This is the person Xun'er has taken a liking to? Xun'er is mine, you trash don't deserve her!"

Lightning Attribute Dou Qi surged in Bai Shan's palm, with tiny electric snakes coiling around Bai Shan. With a sudden, devastating strike, many people closed their eyes, unwilling to witness the bloody scene before them.

Those who didn't close their eyes discovered that "Xiao Yu" didn't show any bloodshed; instead, it shattered like a mirror!

A slight commotion erupted in the audience, and everyone started talking. Those who had closed their eyes were regretting missing this moment!

Seeing that the "Xiao Yu" in front of him was shattered by a single palm strike, Bai Shan felt no joy, but rather a sudden sense of crisis rose in his heart.

"Retreat!"

Bai Shan retreated even faster than he had attacked before.

"Too late!" Xiao Yu's voice rang quietly in Bai Shan's ears. No matter how fast he was moving, he could feel the voice following him like a shadow.

Xiao Yu's palm erupted with pale red Dou Qi, and he struck Bai Shan's back with a palm strike. Bai Shan's reaction speed was indeed fast, but it was no match for Xiao Yu's.

The instant the palm covered Bai Shan, a fierce Dou Qi crashed into Bai Shan's back. Bai Shan felt a tremendous force and a scorching heat. His body was sent flying more than ten meters away by the palm strike. His feet scraped against the stone platform, and the spear in his hand clattered against the edge of the platform before finally stopping!

With a single strike, Bai Shan not only failed to hit Xiao Yu, but was instead sent flying by Xiao Yu's palm.

Bai Shan struggled to regulate the chaotic Dou Qi within his body, while frowning and pondering where Xiao Yu had come from.

In the stands, Xiao Yu had just closed her eyes, but when she opened them, she saw Bai Shan being repelled by Xiao Yu's palm strike. Excitedly, she asked Xun'er, "Xiao Yu is alright? He actually repelled Bai Shan with a single palm strike?"

Xun'er just smiled calmly; she had always believed in Brother Xiao Yu.

Meanwhile, Hu Jia stared in astonishment at the scene before her, and asked blankly, "How... how did Xiao Yu escape that attack?"

Hu Gan sighed and said, "Speed, speed to the extreme! What you saw of Xiao Yu was just a blur!"

Bai Shan let out a soft breath and said, "I admit I underestimated you, but not anymore!"

As he spoke, silver Dou Qi suddenly enveloped Bai Shan, and a silver-white armor slowly appeared on his body. His spear trembled slightly, and battle Dou Qi like electric snakes rapidly flashed and leaped at the tip of the spear. The violent trembling of the spear tip caused the silver Lightning Attribute Dou Qi to slowly condense, emitting a faint crackling sound, which seemed to be a Dou Technique of considerable power!

After Xiao Yu repelled Bai Shan with a single palm strike, he landed lightly opposite Bai Shan and said calmly, "Is that so? Whether you underestimate him or take him seriously, the outcome is the same!"
