Toppling a Higher Realm

"Boom!"

Nine fire dragons roared as they charged toward Ling Quan.

Seeing this, Ling Quan didn't have time to think it through and could only react passively.

"Thunder Snake Dance!"

A violent surge of lightning power emanated from Ling Quan's body.

Then, the boundless power of lightning seemed to materialize, transforming into a terrifying pillar of lightning.

Then, in just a moment, Ling Quan himself had transformed into a Thunder Dragon!

"Sizzle~"

Amidst the flashes of deep blue electric arcs, the nine fire dragons, which were clearly a size or two smaller than the Thunder Dragon, no longer appeared so ferocious.

And so, the nine fire dragons and the Thunder Dragon engaged in a fierce battle in mid-air!

Fire dragons roared, Thunder Dragons hissed, and all the teachers, students, and Elders in the Inner Academy could see the distant sky being divided by lightning and a sea of fire.

"Has Xiao Yan become this strong?"

Lin Xiuya, formerly ranked No. 2 on the Inner Academy's Strong Rankings and now No. 3, was naturally also paying close attention to the battle between Xiao Yan and Ling Quan.

However, at this moment, he had a bitter smile on his face.

Xiao Yan defeated him, who was Nine-Star Battle King Dou Wang, when he was only Seven-Star Battle King.

Even now, before he has even broken through to the Dou Emperor level, Xiao Yan has already demonstrated strength that rivals, and even suppresses, a Dou Emperor!

This caused Lin Xiuya to feel a deep sense of frustration.

"It seems that we have gradually fallen behind him. I still remember more than a year ago, when he first entered the Outer Academy, he was only a Seven-Star Dou Spirit, while we were already a mid-level Dou Wang."

Looking at things now, it's really... sigh~.

Liu Qing, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but sigh.

Oh, by the way, since being defeated by Xiao Yan, Liu Qing is now ranked No. 4 on the Inner Academy's Strong Ranking.

Lin Xiuya and Liu Qing were originally the strongest in the Inner Academy besides Zi Yan!

The difference in strength between the two is not significant.

They had always considered each other as rivals, until Xiao Yan arrived.

Then, they were all chosen by Xiao Yan one after another, becoming brothers in misfortune...

At this moment, when the two of them looked at Xiao Yan, who had further widened the gap in strength between him and themselves, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, which was normal.

Now, even Lin Xiuya and Liu Qing have this mentality. Seeing the strength that Xiao Yan is showing now, the other students in the Inner Academy are naturally filled with complex emotions.

Unlike the students in the Inner Academy, Su Qian and other Leadership and Elders of the Jia Nan Academy felt incredibly pleased to see Xiao Yan dominating Ling Quan!

Let your Gu Clan be arrogant! Now, your young prodigies can't even beat students from our academy, and you still have the nerve to talk?

Meanwhile, on the battlefield in mid-air, as Ling Quan unleashed his power, the nine fire dragons were finally torn into Heavenly Fire.

However, this does not mean he has an advantage!

Don't forget, it was Ling Quan himself who transformed into Thunder Dragon to break Xiao Yan's Nine-Dragon Flame Pillar.

It's immediately obvious who is expending more energy on each other.

"Sizzle~"

Finally, after tearing apart the nine fire dragons, the Thunder Dragon that Ling Quan had transformed into flashed its eyes and charged towards Xiao Yan for the first time.

The Thunder Dragon's enormous body, enveloped in deep blue lightning, did indeed look extremely terrifying.

But that's only on the surface.

After all, how much power would this Thunder Dragon retain after being weakened by the Nine-Dragon Flame Pillars?

Xiao Yan saw right through the deception!

Therefore, when the Thunder Dragon attacked, he did not make any move to dodge.

"How dare you!"

Seeing Xiao Yan's obvious preparation to take the hit head-on, Ling Quan immediately let out an angry shout.

Because, to him, Xiao Yan's behavior was a blatant provocation!

"Ugh~"

Under Ling Quan's control, the Thunder Dragon's body twisted and turned, then it opened its mouth wide and bit directly at Xiao Yan's location.

At this moment, everyone in the Jia Nan Academy kept their eyes fixed on this place.

It can be said that, apart from the members of the Gu Clan who came to pick up Xun'er, everyone else was worried sick for Xiao Yan.

Although the power of that Thunder Dragon had been weakened considerably, it was still not something a single person's physical body could withstand!

But Xiao Yan stood motionless in the Void!

Finally, the Thunder Dragon's gaping maw was already above Xiao Yan's head.

At this moment, no one doubted that in another second, Xiao Yan would be swallowed whole by the Thunder Dragon.

However, it was at this moment that Xiao Yan stretched out his arms to the left and right.

"Buzz~"

"Mystic Light Barrier!"

With Xiao Yan's low shout, a circular protective shield, shimmering with light, enveloped him.

The circular protective shield was just the right size to protect Xiao Yan alone.

"Boom"

"Sizzle sizzle"

The Thunder Dragon bit down on the Mystic Light Barrier, and instantly, arcs of electricity crackled all around.

Furthermore, no matter how much force Ling Quan exerted by controlling the Thunder Dragon, the Mystic Light Barrier showed no signs of breaking.

It's clear that the defensive capabilities of this Mystic Light Barrier are absolutely top-notch.

Sure enough, the terrifying power of lightning almost completely engulfed it, yet it still couldn't damage it in the slightest!

I refuse to believe it!

However, Ling Quan clearly didn't believe in superstitions.

Therefore, he had no intention of giving up.

Finally, as time went by, the Mystic Light Barrier gradually began to deform.

Upon seeing this, Ling Quan was overjoyed.

Little did he know, all of this was done on purpose by Xiao Yan.

Just before the Mystic Light Barrier shattered, a triumphant smile suddenly appeared on Xiao Yan's lips.

"Burst!"

As Xiao Yan placed his right index and middle fingers together in front of him, he suddenly let out a low shout.

"Buzz~"

The next second, the Mystic Light Barrier suddenly emitted a dazzling light.

"Not good!"

Realizing something was wrong, Ling Quan immediately tried to spit the Mystic Light Barrier out of the Thunder Dragon.

Unfortunately, it was all too late.

"Boom"

With a deafening roar, the terrifying and ferocious Thunder Dragon vanished.

However, to be fair, Ling Quan's Thunder Snake Dance Dou Technique was indeed extraordinary.

Although the Thunder Dragon was his transformed form, he himself was not seriously injured when the Thunder Dragon was destroyed; he was only slightly depleted of his Dou Qi.

"Huff, huff~"

Sure enough, after the Thunder Dragon disappeared, Ling Quan was panting heavily about ten meters in front of Xiao Yan.

Upon seeing this, a flash of light appeared in Xiao Yan's hand, and a jet-black ancient ruler appeared in his grasp.

"It's time to end this. The first move of the Six Harmonies Wandering Body Ruler - Flame Split!"

With a soft laugh, Xiao Yan slammed his ruler down on Ling Quan, whose old strength had been depleted and whose new strength had not yet been generated.

Ling Quan himself suffered a huge loss due to using the Thunder Snake Dance Dou Technique.

He has no way to dodge Xiao Yan's attack now!

As Xiao Yan unleashed his sword, a wave of fire swept directly towards Ling Quan.

"How is that possible?"

Faced with Xiao Yan's attack, Ling Quan's eyes widened.

"Bang"

After taking the full force of the blow, Ling Quan plummeted from mid-air.

Ling Quan, defeated!

Xiao Yan, with the cultivation level of Nine-Star Battle King, successfully defeated Ling Quan Five-Star Battle Emperor!
