Do you yield?
Looking at Xiao Yu, who resembled a humanoid beast, Lu Mu said with lingering fear, "With that kind of strength, whoever faces him is doomed! No wonder Bai Shan got beaten up so badly!"
Upon hearing Lu Mu's words, Xiao Yu glared at Lu Mu fiercely, but Lu Mu merely chuckled and remained silent.
Some of the Peak Dou Master contestants in the arena couldn't even last a single move against Xiao Yu. By the time they realized what was happening, they had already been thrown off the stone platform by Xiao Yu. A few One-Star Great Dou Master were able to put up a fight, but only for a moment.
Xiao Yu naturally wouldn't tolerate those contestants who still wanted to resist. He kicked them all away, and in less than a minute, only their original three groups remained in the arena. The rest had been cleared out by Xiao Yu.
Hu Jia and Wu Hao both looked quite grim. They had originally thought they could take advantage of the chaos to eliminate a few of Xiao Yu's team members, but now it seemed that they would be lucky to even make it into the top five!
Xiao Yu stood on one side of the square, smiling as he looked at Hu Jia and Wu Hao, and said, "The four of us need to enter the Library Pavilion. You two can each compete to have one of you take the last spot, how about that?"
Hu Jia roared angrily, "Why should I listen to your arrangements?"
"Arrangements? No, no, no, this is just my decision!" Xiao Yu shook his head and smiled calmly.
Hu Jia gripped the long whip tightly in her hand, and a burst of green Dou Qi erupted from her body. The strength of Six Star Great Dou Master suddenly exploded. Behind her were some so-called protectors, but none of them were any real fighters!
Xiao Yu looked at Hu Jia with interest and said, "What? You want to fight me?"
"That's right, it's just me and Wu Hao against you! If you lose, you give up your spot and Wu Hao and I will enter the Library Pavilion. If you win, I'll withdraw, how about that?" Hu Jia said, raising her snow-white chin.
Wu Hao frowned slightly, but didn't say anything. This approach didn't do him any harm. He simply looked up at Xiao Yu.
Lu Mu, who was standing to the side, was about to speak, but after seeing Xiao Yu's slightly glaring eyes, he didn't say anything more. After all, there were four members of the Xiao Clan. Xiao Yu won, but he couldn't beat Wu Hao. Xiao Yu lost, but he couldn't beat Hu Jia and Wu Hao. Alas, it seems that the top five is destined to be out of his reach!
Thinking of this, Lu Mu felt a little dejected, but he quickly regained his usual cheeky expression and jumped off the stone platform. The stands erupted in an uproar, after all, Lu Mu was the first person to admit defeat so directly!
However, no one mocked him for it. After all, several oddballs had emerged this year. Not to mention that Xiao Yu benefited from the situation, none of the three— Xiao Yu, Xun'er, and Xiao Yan— were pushovers. Therefore, it was understandable that Lu Mu gave up.
Seeing that Hu Gan Lu Mu had given up immediately, Hu Qian chuckled and said to Old Man Huo, "You Alchemy Department student certainly know what's good for you."
Old Man Huo slightly lifted his lowered eyelids, shook his head, and sighed, "If this guy had put the same effort he put into chasing girls into alchemy, his skills wouldn't be so poor!"
The other elders laughed upon hearing this. The gray-robed elder chuckled, "A man who isn't a bit of a playboy in his youth is wasting his life. Besides, with Xiao Yu and Xiao Yan's talents being so strong, are you worried that your Alchemy Department will have no successors?"
Old Man Huo didn't speak, but the gleam in his eyes showed that he still cared about Xiao Yu and Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yu glanced at Lu Mu, who had jumped out, then nodded slightly and smiled, "Since you've put it that way, it would indeed seem a bit unreasonable of me to refuse. However, there's no need for the group of people following you to stay here, is there?"
Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, Hu Jia and Wu Hao immediately understood what he meant and turned to the people behind them, saying, "You can go down now!"
The reason those people followed Hu Jia and Wu Hao was to help them enter the top five. Now that this result has been achieved, they naturally have no need to stay on the stone platform, so they jumped off the platform directly.
"Is it okay now?" Hu Jia asked, her gaze fixed on Xiao Yu.
"Come on!" As soon as Xiao Yu finished speaking, two streams of deep green and blood-red Dou Qi surged wildly from Hu Jia and Wu Hao's bodies. Dou Qi swirled around their whips and heavy swords, clearly indicating that they were preparing powerful Dou Technique. Under these circumstances, they only needed one strike to decide the outcome!
Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, his hands hanging down, and two Green Flame suddenly rose from his palms. The terrifying temperature brought by the Heavenly Flames raised the temperature of the entire square considerably.
The Old Man Huo in the stands widened his eyes. He could tell that the flame in Xiao Yu's hand was the Heavenly Flames that alchemists dreamed of, and there was a hint of envy in his eyes.
Back in the stands, Lu Mu's eyes widened in shock. "Holy crap, that fire looks so much stronger than mine!"
Xiao Yu seemed oblivious to the sudden gasps of surprise rising in the plaza. The Azure Xiao Yu Green Lotus Core Flame in his palm suddenly spread out, quickly enveloping his entire body, making him appear like a human torch.
At the same time, Xiao Yu's aura slowly rose, and a powerful Dou Qi spread out. An extremely powerful aura suddenly erupted, and Hu Jia and Wu Hao's expressions changed. They swung their long whips and heavy swords fiercely.
"The Darkwood Venom Serpent Vine!"
Blood Rend Slash!
Two incredibly fierce energies, one green and one red, suddenly erupted, crushing the stone platform into powder wherever they went, leaving long marks on the platform. The Green Lotus Core Flame within Xiao Yu surged out like a great river, and a giant dragon even larger than the one in the previous match appeared. Xiao Yu stomped his foot, carrying endless flames and fire dragons, and charged towards Hu Jia and Wu Hao with ghostly speed!
After Hu Jia and Wu Hao unleashed their attacks, their faces paled slightly. Watching Xiao Yu fly towards them without any hesitation, they hoped that their attack would defeat Xiao Yu.
Unfortunately, the flames on Xiao Yu's body condensed into a suit of armor even more solid and dense than that of Da Dou Shi. His fists, wreathed in Green Flame, slammed fiercely into the two energies, while those behind him roared upwards.
Boom!
A deafening roar erupted in the arena, and the powerful blast forced Xun'er and the others standing to the side to take action to defend themselves.
Dust billowed into the sky, obscuring the view of the arena, but Hu Gan and the others in the stands could see clearly. Hu Gan sighed softly, "I originally thought Hu Jia and Wu Hao were geniuses, but now it seems they're nothing compared to Xiao Yu. An eighteen-year-old Dou Ling is truly unbelievable!"
The Old Man Huo to the side also said with a solemn expression, "I must get this person into the Alchemy Department!"
Undoubtedly, in this attack, Hu Gan and the other elders had already discovered Xiao Yu's true strength, which is why they were so shocked.
Under countless gazes, the dust gradually dissipated, revealing that the flames that had covered Xiao Yu's entire body had vanished, and he had his hands gripping Hu Jia and Wu Hao in mid-air.
Watching the two struggling in his hands, Xiao Yu revealed a devilish smile and whispered, "Are you convinced?"
