Battle Against Mu Rong Han

After Xiao Yan stood still, the old man in the center of the stands, who had been sitting lazily, raised his eyes and fixed his cloudy gaze directly on Xiao Yan.

After observing carefully for a while, the old man exclaimed in surprise, "What a strange Dou Qi! It doesn't seem to be ordinary ice-attribute Dou Qi!"

An old man sitting on the far left looked surprised. "I remember Xiao Yan, that strange kid, he had the potential to become Alchemist. If he didn't become Alchemist in the future, it would be a huge loss. How did things turn out like this?"

An elderly man in gray robes in the middle smiled and said, "To have the strength of Dou Shi at such a young age, no matter what, his future achievements will be even more astonishing."

Hearing the three men's words, Hu Gan but remained silent.

Xiao Yan not only has an Alchemist teacher, but also the renowned Venerable Yao of Central Plains. With such a formidable teacher, his future achievements in alchemy will definitely shock Fire Old Man.

Not only that, Xiao Yan also obtained the Heavenly Flames that Alchemist dream of.

It is precisely because of this opportunity that Xiao Yan is able to possess such strength today and stand here.

Otherwise, even if Xiao Yan is a genius, as long as he only possesses Dou Qi or Dou Zhe, he is still quite far from the level required to enter the Inner Academy.

However, even so, Xiao Yan only has one chance to participate in the selection competition. Whether he can enter the Inner Academy depends on his overall strength.

Jia Nan Academy rose to prominence thanks to a Heavenly Flames, but Xiao Yan, who is not even ten years old, already possesses Heavenly Flames. Although the effects of the two Heavenly Flames are completely different, it still makes Hu Gan feel incredible and he can't help but marvel at the boy's good fortune.

On one side of the stands, Lin Shuiyao, dressed in a red cheongsam, stood quietly with Xiao Xun'er. The two, one tall and one short, were quite conspicuous on the stands.

Xiao Xun'er was dressed in a purple dress, and even at such a young age, she already exuded a cool and aloof temperament, making it clear at a glance that she came from an extraordinary background.

With her bright, watery eyes gazing at Xiao Yan in his black robes, Xiao Xun'er silently clenched her delicate hands.

Although she has now reached the level of Dou Shi, it has taken her less than a year to cultivate from the Eight-Stage Dou Qi.

However, her breakthrough in the Dou Qi realm had consumed all her cultivation time, leaving her no time to hone her Dou Technique. Naturally, she couldn't compete with students who were significantly higher in rank than her.

After a slight pause, Mu Rong Han smiled and said, "Junior Brother Xiao Yan, wanting to enter the Inner Academy now is not only too hasty, but also underestimates the difficulty of entering the Inner Academy. Just admit defeat; I don't want people to say that I'm bullying the weak."

"There are some rules in the academy, but there's no distinction between age in the Black-Corner Region," Xiao Yan said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Mu Rong Han's eyes narrowed.

Every year, the academy sends some students into the Black-Corner Region for training. Although this is a dangerous undertaking, it results in the loss of some outstanding talents each time.

It must be said that those students who successfully returned underwent a complete transformation, as if they had been reborn.

That transformation was not only reflected in how much his strength had increased, but also in the change in his demeanor.

To Mu Rong Han's surprise, Xiao Yan possessed a level of understanding that most students lacked.

Putting aside his initial contempt, Mu Rong Han immediately became serious. "In that case, I won't hold back in the slightest."

As he spoke, a flash of blue light appeared in Mu Rong Han's hand, and a crystal-clear, jade-like fan immediately appeared.

As the fan appeared, a terrifying chill immediately burst forth from Mu Rong Han's body. Amidst a series of cracking sounds, a layer of ice suddenly spread outward from Mu Rong Han's feet on the arena.

Looking at the high-quality fan, Xiao Yan keenly noticed the ice-blue bead on the fan pendant, and four words immediately came to mind: Magic Core Weapon!

When Magic Core is added to a weapon, not only will its destructive power be greatly enhanced, but it will also have the enticing effect of amplifying Dou Qi.

Besides weapons, Magic Core can also be added to armor and many other items, giving their owners incredible effects such as strong defense, and increasing their chances of survival when facing danger.

This weapon shares the same Dou Qi attribute as Mu Rong Han. Using this weapon in battle will increase the latter's strength by 10% to 20%.

" With Magic Core Weapon and the strength of Da Dou Shi, I must unleash my full potential to enter the Inner Academy," Xiao Yan thought to himself.

With a thought, Xiao Yan's powerful Dou Qi surged rapidly, slowly forming a thin, pale white veil over his black robes.

"Dou Qi Gauze!" Mu Rong Han was shocked to see the changes in Xiao Yan's body. This was the first and foremost technique used by Dou Shi Master) in battle.

Xiao Yan, who had just entered the academy to learn Dou Qi, unknowingly became Dou Shi in less than a year.

Just then, Xiao Yan's strength was discovered, and gasps of surprise rang out from the stands.

Becoming Dou Shi before the age of ten is truly terrifying; no wonder he dared to participate in this selection.

"Your talent is indeed impressive, but talent cannot bridge the gap between Dou Shi and Da Dou Shi." Mu Rong Han casually waved his ice fan, "Low Xuan Tier Dou Technique, Frozen Qi!"

The seemingly ordinary movements were actually the display of Profound Tier Dou Technique.

A bone-chilling cold instantly filled the arena, with a dense current of cold air rushing straight towards Xiao Yan in the distance.

If one has mastered movement Dou Technique, it is not difficult for a Dou Shi to dodge that cold wave attack.

However, the enveloping chill can cause one's body to stiffen slightly and movements to become sluggish.

It was precisely this effect that gave Mu Rong Han the confidence to defeat Xiao Yan in one move.

Seeing the oncoming attack, Xiao Yan smiled slightly, stomped his foot on the ground, and instantly shot out like an arrow.

Seeing Xiao Yan's suicidal actions, Mu Rong Han was extremely surprised, and then a smile appeared on his face.

Did you think you could defend against his attacks with just your Dou Qi Gauze?

How naive!

The impact force of that airflow alone could cause a Dou Shi suffering.

Because of Xiao Yan's proactive response, in the blink of an eye, the icy current filled with dense ice-attribute Dou Qi qi struck Xiao Yan heavily.

To everyone's surprise, Xiao Yan's body trembled slightly, but he continued his charge without slowing down, as swift as a cheetah, pouncing straight at Mu Rong Han.

In fact, Xiao Yan himself was also a little surprised.

With the aid of the Heavenly Flames, the Infinite Void-Sinking Force was instantly neutralized.

It seems that the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, which combines ice and fire, gives him a huge advantage when dealing with ice-attribute individuals, even if there is a difference in level.
