Although Xiao Yan ultimately won his battle against Xiao Yang, he was unable to continue fighting due to excessive consumption of his Origin Qi. As a result, his duel with Xiao Feng had to be postponed until tomorrow.
In order to maintain the normal operation of the clan association, the exhibition match of the Yuan Zong War had to start ahead of schedule, which greatly maintained the intense atmosphere in the martial arts arena.
The battle between Xiao Yan and Xiao Yan was incredibly intense. If the competition were to be stopped now, it would likely cause dissatisfaction among many people. Moreover, the original program for the exhibition match was scheduled for tomorrow. In comparison, this approach is not unreasonable.
Most people on the field also held high expectations for the exhibition match. After all, these participants were different from Xiao Yang and the others. Their years of training outside had been filled with bloodshed and slaughter. In contrast, the latter had lived within their families for a long time and, thanks to their families' protection, although their growth rate was not slow, their strength on the battlefield was extremely limited. Whether it was the density of their Origin Qi or their control over Dou Technique, they were undoubtedly far behind the former.
It was precisely because of this disparity that the exhibition match sparked another wave of excitement.
The intense battle was no less fierce than Xiao Yan's, and the mysterious Dou Technique, even the Dou Technique, were quite different from what they usually saw in their families. The various factions argued and successfully brought the atmosphere in the martial arts arena to a whole new climax!
The following day, amidst the tense anticipation of countless people, it finally arrived.
After the fierce competition the day before yesterday, before dawn today, the Xiao Clan was already in an uproar. The martial arts arena was especially lively, with everyone waiting for the final match of the clan gathering: the duel between Xiao Yan and Xiao Feng!
As dawn broke and the first rays of sunlight streamed down from the sky, figures from all sides of the family quickly gathered. Among the elders, the First Elder and others were prominently displayed, just like the countless family members below. Today, they too were filled with curiosity about who was stronger between these two.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xiao Feng stood tall in the center of the martial arts arena, quietly awaiting Xiao Yan's arrival.
At a certain moment, Xiao Xuan and others appeared in the stands, and at the same time, Xiao Yan, dressed in a black robe, stepped onto the martial arts arena.
With a heavy stomp of his foot on the field, Xiao Yan raised his slightly sleepy eyes, his gaze gradually clearing as he looked at Xiao Feng in the center of the arena. A fiery light appeared in his gradually awakening eyes, and his entire spirit lifted at this moment.
Throughout this entire clan competition, the only opponent he truly valued was Xiao Feng. As for the others, although they each had their strengths, he didn't take them too seriously. Now, it was finally time for the two of them to duel.
On the field, Xiao Feng was also looking at the figure who arrived late, his eyes filled with fighting spirit, and a slow smile appeared on his lips.
The Xiao Yan before him, like his ancestors, was one of the few people in the family who could be taken seriously. Especially his performance in the family recently, and his battle with Xiao Lei, had aroused great interest in Xiao Yan. Being able to fight against this dark horse, the biggest in the Xiao Clan at present, would make this clan meeting worthwhile.
As Xiao Yan entered the arena, everyone's eyes followed him. Among the thousands of gazes, besides eagerness, there was also a great deal of curiosity.
Will this rising dark horse be able to maintain the same imposing presence as in his previous battles when facing the heir of a powerful family?
Feeling the gazes directed at him from all sides, Xiao Yan remained expressionless, his eyes fixed on the opposite side. The two figures in the arena locked eyes, exuding a subtle and unspoken meaning, making the air slightly tense.
I've been standing here for an hour.
As he gazed intently at the scene, Xiao Feng exhaled deeply and spoke slowly. His deep voice, like the atmosphere on the field, carried a hint of coldness and domineering authority.
"I've waited half a year for this day."
Xiao Yan smiled and dismissed it, his steps forward quickening decisively. With a casual flip of his hand, the Heavy Xuan Ruler instantly appeared in his grasp. The moment his words fell, he suddenly charged forward, the giant ruler sweeping across the void, creating a whistling sound as it hurtled towards the front.
Seeing this, Xiao Feng showed no surprise. He just stared intently at the giant ruler in Xiao Yan's hand. When the latter came in front of him, the giant ruler was swung up and the tip of the ruler fell sharply. Xiao Feng then flipped his hand and a long spear with a blue body immediately fell into his palm.
With a flick of the spear's butt and a thrust of both arms, the force contained within the spear propelled the heavy ruler away the moment they collided. Xiao Feng took a half-step back, the spear tip landing on the ground, shattering the earth while stabilizing his stance. He then slammed forward, gripping the spear shaft tightly with both hands, the spearhead spinning rapidly, easily cleaving the ground beneath his feet. With unstoppable momentum, he flew up, aiming straight for Xiao Yan's raised elbow.
The two clashed in an instant, yet their attacks were already so fierce!
"Bite!"
As Xiao Yan's expression changed, the giant ruler in his hand suddenly dropped, and with a twist of his wrist, he used the wide ruler to block Xiao Feng's thrust. He then took several steps back, using the opportunity to retreat.
In this brief first round, Xiao Yan suffered a minor loss.
The moment he froze, his gaze fell on Xiao Feng. Xiao Yan's expression was solemn. Although this was only their first encounter, the strength that the former had shown far surpassed that of Xiao Yang yesterday. There was no doubt about that!
"I've waited so long, don't disappoint me!"
Xiao Feng smiled faintly, flicked his wrist, raised his spear, and pointed its sharp tip directly at Xiao Yan.
"Haha, don't worry, I won't let you down!"
Seeing this, Xiao Yan also burst into laughter. The moment his gaze met Xiao Feng's, his figure suddenly disappeared. The next moment, Xiao Feng immediately swung the spear in his hand. The spear was swung horizontally, drawing a strange arc, and then it was thrown out heavily, bringing with it a sound of wind breaking. Then it struck a certain place in the void heavily.
"Clang!"
With a deafening roar, Xiao Yan suddenly appeared, then fiercely unleashed the giant ruler in his hand, smashing it towards the latter. His true form then flickered again and disappeared from the battle stage.
"Clang!"
The moment the giant ruler was deflected by the spear tip, Xiao Yan dodged to the side and threw a punch. However, just as it landed, the spear shaft twisted strangely, meeting Xiao Yan's punch head-on.
The terrifying force contained in the fist actually bent the spear shaft to an almost impossible angle. Xiao Feng managed to block Xiao Yan's punch with this force, but even so, he was still forced back a hundred steps. In the instant he managed to regain his footing, the spear in his hand trembled violently.
"What astonishing strength! Without that giant ruler, his strength has actually increased by more than one level!"
A surprised thought flashed through Xiao Feng's mind, and he couldn't help but think more highly of Xiao Yan. To be able to win multiple times while suppressing his strength was truly something that ordinary people could not achieve.
