Earth Rank Dou Technique

Yet, to everyone's surprise.

Yun Shenwei stood perfectly still. The instant his opponent came within range, he sent him flying with an elbow strike.

"Sorry, but against trash like you, I don't even need to use the flames on my body. You aren't worthy. Don't think your distinguished family background means anything. In my eyes, everyone is equal. If you have the ability, then you deserve victory. If you don't, then crawl obediently."

Yun Shenwei casually rolled his shoulders, then waved to 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, those who struck later could still gain the initiative. Sometimes, being passive did not mean one feared the opponent, and taking the initiative did not necessarily bring an advantage.

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

As Gu Ming flew backward, he quickly stabilized himself. After all, he had some skill, or Pill King Gu He would not have brought him here as a hired fighter.

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

Pill King Gu He remained calm and composed. He knew his nephew's record very well. The gap between their realms was already considerable, and his nephew also possessed the ability to challenge opponents beyond 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 younger-generation brats were nothing more than chickens and dogs. No matter how strong they were, they could not be mentioned in the same breath as members of the Gu Family.

"Heaven-Earth Black-Yellow Seal!"

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

"Is that fluctuation an Earth Rank Dou Technique?"

Quite a few knowledgeable people were present. These elders of influential families understood the classifications of Dou Techniques extremely well. The moment they saw the profound energy fluctuation in Gu Ming's hands, they immediately realized that this Dou Technique was anything but ordinary.

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

"It's over, it's over. Senior Apprentice Brother is in serious trouble now. His realm may be decent, but he hasn't mastered many Dou Techniques. He's going to suffer badly this time. The gap between every level of Dou Technique is enormous."

"Let's hope Senior Apprentice Brother has a way to deal with it. If he can't withstand this move, then the outcome of this match will be decided."

After hearing the term Earth Rank Dou Technique, many Yun Lan Sect disciples' eyes widened, and some were practically unable to close their jaws. In all their years, they had only seen Earth Rank Dou Techniques a handful of times.

Even within the Yun Lan Sect, only elders of exceptionally high status or the sect leader could use Dou Techniques of such a high rank.

Ordinary Yun Lan Sect disciples would never be able to learn such a powerful Dou Technique in their entire lives, or even witness one.

And now, someone merely five years older than them was displaying an Earth Rank Dou Technique here. How could they not be shocked?

"Pill King Gu He, your nephew is certainly making a grand display. At such a young age, he has already learned an Earth Rank Dou Technique. His future achievements will be limitless."

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

"It's merely a trivial skill. My nephew has always been quite talented. As for this Dou Technique, it was an exchange condition offered by a certain expert when I refined pills for him."

Pill King Gu He smiled proudly. For an Alchemy Grandmaster like him, obtaining special Dou Techniques was simply too easy.

After all, there were simply too many people begging 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.

If ordinary people wanted to make progress in cultivation or encountered a bottleneck, they either had to seek out a fortunate opportunity or beg a legendary Alchemy Grandmaster.

Seeking a fortunate opportunity was practically a nine-in-ten chance of death. One might not even make it back alive. But seeking an Alchemy Grandmaster was different. After all, such figures existed in the Gama Empire, and as long as these experts could offer sufficient terms, Alchemy Grandmasters would generally grant their requests.

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

Over time, Gu He had gained the resounding title of Pill King.

Gu He had been famous for a long time and did not yet have children of his own, so he placed considerable importance on this nephew. They were family, after all, and he helped whenever he could. He was not someone overly concerned with minor details.

"So it's an Earth Rank Dou Technique. How impressive. It really gave me quite a fright."

Yun Shenwei raised his eyes and noticed the immense fluctuations radiating from his opponent's body. He could not help blinking.

"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 smug, convinced that after unleashing this Earth Rank Dou Technique, victory was already certain.

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

"I think you're absolutely right. Kneeling and begging for mercy is indeed a very good method. It can fully demonstrate the victor's absolute advantage, while also highlighting the loser's crushing defeat to the utmost."

Yun Shenwei pretended to think as he scratched his head. Then, his gaze suddenly turned sharp.

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

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Shenwei's body suddenly erupted with a fluctuation no weaker than an Earth Rank Dou Technique.
