"If you defeat me within one hundred rounds, you will see the Dean; if not, then leave!"
Shui Miao's clear shout echoed across the square. With a thought, the surging Dou Qi within her body burst forth. At the same time as her aura changed, the Origin Qi of this world also surged, transforming into a storm that swirled around Shui Miao.
This scene caused shock to appear on the faces of all the students and instructors present, and even the elders in the distant pavilion couldn't help but feel surprised.
" Half-Step Origin Transformation Realm... This kid seems even stronger than we anticipated. Judging from his aura, I believe he'll officially break through in less than six months. In just ten years, he's advanced from a Half-Emperor to the Origin Transformation Realm. This kid will likely become the number one in our academy in a hundred years!"
All the elders were amazed. Shui Miao's talent was truly extraordinary. No wonder even the dean favored him.
" Half-Step Origin Transformation Realm...?"
As he murmured to himself, Xiao Yan couldn't help but be shocked by Shui Miao's strength. Since he had traveled the continent, Shui Miao was arguably the strongest young person he had ever seen.
The two were about the same age, but the latter's cultivation had already reached such a level that he could not afford to underestimate him.
I will definitely see him.
In an instant, Xiao Yan regained his senses, smiled wryly, and lightly stomped his feet on the ground. At that moment, the Dou Qi within his body surged outwards!
"Buzz!"
Two powerful auras collided violently in the square, then dissipated into a storm.
Almost simultaneously, the gazes of everyone in the square suddenly shifted from Shui Miao to Xiao Yan, their faces showing astonishment and disbelief.
"This... this guy... is only Seven-Star Dou Di?"
"I thought he was some kind of powerful cultivator, but it turns out he's just a Seven-Star Dou Di. Even among us, there are quite a few who could easily crush him, yet he dared to challenge Senior Shui Miao with such confidence. This guy is way too arrogant."
"Hehe, people like this who like to act arrogantly should be taught a lesson. Today, let Senior Shui Miao teach him a good lesson, hahaha..."
The surrounding students looked at Xiao Yan, who was displaying his strength on the square, with mocking expressions. Their words were full of sneers and ridicule. Even some instructors and deacons couldn't help but cast disappointed glances at him.
At such a young age, to have raised one's cultivation to the Seven-Star Dou Di is extremely rare among these students, which proves Xiao Yan's talent. However, Xiao Yan's arrogance may become a major obstacle on his path to growth.
Of course, not everyone thinks this way.
At this moment, Liu Xuan stared at Xiao Yan with a shocked expression, feeling utterly incredulous.
She had personally witnessed Xiao Yan easily crush five Dou Di experts on his own. Although the strongest of those five was only Six-Star Dou Di, normally speaking, such a team would not be easily dealt with by a Seven-Star Dou Di.
But looking at Xiao Yan again, Liu Xuan still vividly remembered what had happened a few days ago. Even if all the instructors and students present thought that Xiao Yan was just a Seven-Star Dou Di, she would never think so.
Before seeing the outcome, one should not make hasty judgments, nor should one underestimate anyone based on appearances. Doing so will only bring you unbearable consequences!
Therefore, while everyone present was sneering and mocking Xiao Yan because of the aura he exuded, Shui Miao and the elders in the pavilion were all watching Xiao Yan very cautiously.
The battle began immediately the next moment!
"Drink!"
The two people in the center of the square let out a loud shout in unison, and stomped the ground hard in perfect unison. The terrifying power poured out in time, and the square shook violently and even caved in. The two people shot forward like lightning!
"Boom!"
Their fists collided, and the two men were instantly frozen in the center of the plaza. A terrifying energy storm swept out, destroying the entire plaza in an instant.
In the center of the square, Xiao Yan and Shui Miao locked eyes, both wearing arrogant and unrestrained smiles.
Both being highly regarded juniors, these two met for the first time, yet they were already irreconcilable enemies!
"Snort!"
With a punch landing, Shui Miao took a half step back, clenched her right fist, and a surge of water-attribute Dou Qi immediately burst out of her body, covering her entire arm. Then, she threw another punch fiercely at Xiao Yan!
Xiao Yan was not to be outdone. He clenched his right fist, and a pale white flame enveloped his entire arm. The terrifying heat caused the temperature of the surrounding area to rise significantly.
" Heavenly Flames, huh...?"
Shui Miao's pupils contracted slightly, and she couldn't help but feel a surge of surprise.
"Boom!"
Then, another fierce collision occurred. The energy waves formed by fire and water immediately swept outwards from the two of them. Instantly, the instructors around the square couldn't help but change their expressions and hurriedly stepped forward. A Dou Qi shield, almost tangible, rose from the ground and blocked the energy wave as it swept in. However, even so, the solid Dou Qi shield trembled violently uncontrollably.
Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from within the light barrier, all the students present turned slightly pale. If it weren't for their instructors' intervention, they would probably have collapsed by now.
The clash just now showed that Xiao Yan and Shui Miao were evenly matched, and the struggle between fire and water ultimately came to no avail. This made them realize that Xiao Yan was not as simple as he appeared on the surface.
However, in the blink of an eye, those students who had been boasting that they could easily overpower Xiao Yan all retreated dejectedly. Xiao Yan and Shui Miao, who were in the center of the square, also shuddered and retreated as their Dou Qi surged.
"You're definitely not as simple as you seem."
"You flatter me, you're not bad either."
Xiao Yan lightly clenched his fist and grinned.
"Don't be too happy yet, this is only the first round, let's go again!"
Shui Miao also gave a cold smile, clenched her right hand, and her Dou Qi surged up, dispelling the numbness.
