Beaten into Submission

Opening their eyes and looking up, what appeared before Ling Quan and Gu Feng were Gu Qingyang, Gu Zhen, and other prodigies from the Gu Clans.

Gu Qingyang, Gu Zhen, and the others. "..."

What could they say to Ling Quan and Gu Feng, who were still completely bewildered?

Gu Qingyang was alright, but Gu Zhen and the other Gu Clan prodigies who hadn't been called on to perform looked at Ling Quan and Gu Feng with shock and sympathy.

The two of them went on stage, but before they even had a chance to make a cameo appearance, they were back.

To be fair, Xiao Yan was quite considerate, saving Ling Quan and Gu Feng the time of returning to their original seats.

"Have we lost?"

Even after getting up from the ground, Ling Quan still had an incredulous look on his face.

Gu Feng naturally reflects the same sentiment as Ling Quan.

Although Xiao Yan did indeed completely overwhelm the two of them in terms of cultivation.

But don't forget, they have companions too!

However, the result was that Xiao Yan directly punched each of his companions in front of them, sending them down from the plaza without even having a chance to use a single Dou Technique, only managing to explode their qi.

The extent of this blow to Ling Quan and Gu Feng can be seen from their utterly dejected expressions.

"Cheer up! Perhaps you'll find out later that losing to Xiao Yan isn't something to be ashamed of."

Just as Ling Quan and Gu Feng were feeling dejected, Gu Qingyang's voice rang in their ears.

Seeing that Gu Qingyang, the second-best among the younger generation of the Gu Clan, was praising Xiao Yan more and more, the other geniuses around, including Ling Quan and Gu Feng, were nothing but shocked!

However, while others might not believe Gu Qingyang's somewhat overly high praise for Xiao Yan, Ling Quan suddenly fell into deep thought at this moment.

Because, among all the young prodigies of the Gu Clans, he had the most contact with Xiao Yan!

I still remember when we first met at the Jia Nan Academy, Xiao Yan was only Dou Wang, while he was already Four-Star Dou Emperor.

But at that time, he was defeated by his opponent.

To be honest, although he lost back then, Ling Quan was not convinced of his defeat.

In his view, he had only lost because of a moment of carelessness.

Therefore, when Ling Quan saw Xiao Yan again at the city gate of the Ancient Saint City, he couldn't help but want to make things difficult for him.

But at that time, he was ignored by Xiao Yan.

At that time, Ling Quan was filled with anger.

The fact that Xiao Yan acted as if he didn't remember him made him even more furious.

Unfortunately, Xiao Yan came as a member of the Xiao Clan, so he couldn't stop him from entering the Ancient Saint City.

And now, Xiao Yan has actually defeated him with just one punch.

This stark contrast truly left Ling Quan feeling empty inside.

However, after listening to Gu Qingyang's words, Ling Quan finally realized, in a daze, that he had always underestimated Xiao Yan.

After all, if we think about it objectively and fairly, Xiao Yan no longer has the Dou Emperor Bloodline of the Xiao Clan, and his cultivation level was not as good as mine back then. But now, when we meet again in the Gu Clan, his opponent has surpassed Gu Hua Gu Xing, and Gu Yao.

Is this something an ordinary person could do?

"Perhaps, losing to Xiao Yan isn't such a shameful thing... If that's the case, Xiao Yan, let me see just how far you can go in the future!"

At this moment, among the younger generation of geniuses of the Gu Clan, Ling Quan, who should have disliked Xiao Yan the most, actually became the first person to be defeated and subdued by Xiao Yan!

I wonder what Xiao Yan's expression will be when he finds out?

Of course, no one else knew what Ling Quan was thinking at that moment.

The battle in the square did not stop despite the defeats of Ling Quan and Gu Feng; in fact, it became even more intense!

"Damn it, Xiao Yan's attack just now was merely a distraction! But those two, Ling Quan and Gu Feng, are utterly useless; they couldn't even withstand one of Xiao Yan's attacks, which meant we didn't have time to support them!"

The fight had barely begun when two of their players were instantly defeated, clearly making the remaining six look quite displeased.

But complaints aside, the fight must continue.

At this moment, after shaking his hands as he sent Ling Quan and Gu Feng off the stage, Xiao Yan looked at the remaining six prodigies of the Gu Clan with a playful expression.

"Heavenly Fiend Qi-Shattering Claw!"

"Nether King Slash!"

Whether they were frightened by Xiao Yan's swift defeat of Ling Quan and Gu Feng or not, after blocking the force of Xiao Yan's initial punch, Yang Hao and Gu Bi launched an attack on Xiao Yan, who was looking at them, without any strategy.

"Sizzle~"

"Swish"

A pale white Dou Qi of Dou Qi, carrying an aura that seemed capable of freezing a person's blood, hurtled straight towards Xiao Yan.

Meanwhile, a beam of light suddenly appeared from the horizon, also striking towards Xiao Yan.

These are the Dou Techniques used by Yang Hao and Gu Bi respectively.

However, while the two were unleashing their Dou Techniques, they naturally couldn't afford to focus on defense.

Looking at Yang Hao and Gu Bi, both of whom were riddled with weaknesses, Xiao Yan smiled.

Originally, after unexpectedly eliminating Ling Quan and Gu Feng, he was thinking of finding an opportunity to continue defeating them one by one.

And now, an opportunity has come knocking on our door.

Therefore, the next second, Xiao Yan moved.

"Yang Hao and Gu Bi are two idiots!"

Upon seeing this, the remaining Gu Yao and the others knew they were doomed.

"Whoosh"

Therefore, without any hesitation, Gu Hua, Gu Xing, Gu Yao, and Lin Xiu split into two groups and rushed towards Yang Hao and Gu Bi respectively.

They clearly wanted to rescue the two people.

But will Xiao Yan give them that chance?

"Mountain-Piling Force!"

"Explosive Step!"

"Three Thousand Lightning Movement!"

Two Movement Techniques and one Dou Technique that could stack aura— Xiao Yan used all three Dou Techniques almost simultaneously.

In this life, Xiao Yan is somewhat weaker compared to the Original Work in one aspect: he doesn't have the opportunity to learn the Three Thousand Lightning Illusory Body.

After all, the Wind Lightning Pavilion in this life didn't court disaster like it did in the Original Work.

However, at this moment, after Xiao Yan unleashed three Dou Techniques simultaneously, the effect he achieved was almost no weaker than the Three Thousand Lightning Illusory Body!

"Call out"

"Buzz~"

At this moment, Xiao Yan moved, and many afterimages appeared on the square!

The speed was so fast that one might mistake these phantoms for real objects!

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yan not only dodged the Dou Techniques unleashed by Yang Hao and Gu Bi, but also got closer to them first.

When Xiao Yan's ghostly figure appeared before them, Yang Hao and Gu Bi instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

Fast, too fast!

Xiao Yan's speed was so fast that they didn't even have time to react!

There's a saying, "The greatest martial art in the world is speed."

This perfectly describes Xiao Yan.

"Bang," "Bang"

Two more heavy blows rang out.

Immediately afterwards, everyone saw two parabolas appear in the sky.

By the time Yang Hao and Gu Bi realized what was happening, they discovered Ling Quan and Gu Feng, who had already been eliminated, as well as Gu Qingyang, Gu Zhen, and others.

Yang Hao and Gu Bi: "..."

At that moment, how could they not realize what was happening?

Following Ling Quan and Gu Feng, they were also sent down by Xiao Yan with a single punch each.

This defeat was absolutely inevitable!

Therefore, Yang Hao and Gu Bi could only manage a wry smile.

It's fair to say the gap between the two sides is just too huge!

For Xiao Yan, it meant one punch was enough to take down one of his opponents.
