Earth Rank Dou Skills

Yet, to everyone's surprise.

Yun Shenwei stood motionless where he was. The instant his opponent came within range, he sent him flying with a single elbow strike.

"Sorry, but against trash like you, I don't even need to use the flames on my body. You're not worthy. Don't think your distinguished family background makes you special. In my eyes, everyone is equal. If you have the ability, you should win. If you don't, then crawl obediently."

Yun Shenwei casually rolled his shoulders, then waved again at the supporters below. In truth, after all this time spent fighting, his understanding of combat had reached an extremely high level. The reason he had not attacked first was simply because he wanted to see what his opponent was truly capable of.

As the saying went, striking later could still mean arriving first. Sometimes, being passive did not mean fearing one's opponent, and taking the initiative did not necessarily grant an advantage.

"Good kid, you're the strongest opponent I've encountered in all these years. And you're younger than I am. Given enough time, I might not truly be able to defeat you. But today, I will definitely cripple you."

As Gu Ming flew backward, he quickly steadied himself. After all, he had some skill; otherwise, his uncle, Pill King Gu He, would never have brought him here as hired muscle.

"You do have some skill, but it is still far from enough to defeat my nephew. Back then, this boy once defeated someone four stars above his own realm all by himself."

Pill King Gu He remained as calm as ever. He knew his nephew's record very well. The gap between the two sides' realms was already considerable, not to mention that his nephew could challenge opponents above his own realm.

Although Yun Shenwei had previously defeated quite a few people his own age, their realms had not been particularly high.

In Pill King Gu He's eyes, those young juniors were nothing but chickens and dogs. No matter how strong they were, they could not be compared with members of the Gu Family.

"Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Seal!"

Gu Ming's eyes brimmed with killing intent. All these years, he had always believed himself to be the most outstanding. Those his age had practically all been defeated by him, and even some older than him had been beaten black and blue. Yet now, in full view of the public, he had been sent flying by someone many years younger than himself. It was utterly humiliating!

"Is that fluctuation an Earth Rank Dou Skill?"

There were no shortage of knowledgeable people present. The elders of these families knew the classifications of Dou Skills extremely well, and the moment they saw the profound energy fluctuations in Gu Ming's hands, they immediately understood that this Dou Skill was anything but ordinary.

"What? It's actually an Earth Rank Dou Skill? Heavens, how could he possess something so powerful?"

"It's over, it's over. Senior Brother is in serious trouble now. His realm is decent enough, but he hasn't mastered many Dou Skills. He's going to suffer badly this time. The difference between every rank of Dou Skill is enormous."

"I just hope Senior Brother has a way to deal with it. If he cannot withstand this move, then the outcome of this match will be decided."

After hearing the term Earth Rank Dou Skills, many Misty Cloud Sect disciples stared with their eyes wide open, some of them nearly unable to close their jaws. In all their lives, they had only seen Earth Rank Dou Skills a handful of times.

Within the Misty Cloud Sect, only elders of especially exalted status or the Sect Master could use Dou Skills of such a high rank.

Ordinary Misty Cloud Sect disciples could never learn such powerful Dou Skills in their lifetimes, or even have the chance to observe them.

Yet now, someone who was only about five years older than them was displaying an Earth Rank Dou Skill here. How could they not be shocked?

"Pill King Gu He, your nephew is quite impressive. At such a young age, he has already mastered an Earth Rank Dou Skill. His future achievements will be limitless."

Yun Yun spoke to Pill King Gu He. When she looked at Yun Shenwei, a hint of worry appeared in her beautiful eyes.

"This is merely a trivial skill. My nephew has always had rather good talent. As for this Dou Skill, it was something a powerful expert offered as part of an exchange when I refined pills for him."

Pill King Gu He smiled smugly. For an Alchemy Grandmaster like him, acquiring certain special Dou Skills was simply too easy.

After all, far too many people wanted to beg alchemists like them to refine pills.

It could be said that in this world, they could easily obtain almost anything they wanted. After all, an alchemist's status was destined to be more noble than that of most people.

Ordinary people who wished to advance in cultivation or encountered a bottleneck could either seek out fortuitous opportunities or beg a legendary Alchemy Grandmaster.

Seeking opportunities was practically a journey with nine chances of death and one of survival; one might never return alive. But seeking an Alchemy Grandmaster was different. Such figures existed in the Jia Ma Empire, and as long as these powerful people could offer sufficient terms, Alchemy Grandmasters would generally grant their requests.

Under such circumstances, Pill King Gu He had helped many people seeking to break through to the Dou Emperor realm. Even some people from beyond the Jiama Empire had traveled thousands of miles to seek his assistance.

Thus, over time, Gu He came to possess the resounding title of Pill King.

Gu He had been famous for a long time and still had no children, so he placed great importance on this nephew of his. They were family, and he helped whenever he could. He was not someone who cared excessively about minor details.

"So it's an Earth Rank Dou Skill. How impressive. You really gave me such a fright."

Yun Shenwei raised his eyes and noticed the immense fluctuations around his opponent's body, blinking involuntarily.

"Are you afraid? If you think you can't win, then hurry up and kneel to beg for mercy. Perhaps I can give you a dignified way to leave the stage."

Gu Ming was immensely pleased with himself. He believed that once he unleashed this Earth Rank Dou Skill, victory was already certain.

Thus, when he looked at Yun Shenwei, his gaze became even more disdainful.

"I think you're absolutely right. Kneeling to beg for mercy truly is a very good method. It can fully display the victor's absolute superiority while vividly highlighting the loser's miserable defeat."

Yun Shenwei pretended to ponder as he scratched his head. Then, his eyes abruptly sharpened.

"Therefore, I think the one who should surrender is you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Shenwei's body suddenly erupted with fluctuations no weaker than those of an Earth Rank Dou Skill.
