"Bite!"
As the foot fell, its heavy blade violently collided with the spear tip, unleashing a powerful surge of energy. A chilling white flame rapidly spread from the giant foot, climbing up the gleaming spear tip. Almost simultaneously, a vast aura of water-based battle Dou Qi also rushed in, plunging into the flames without hesitation, and the two forces clashed fiercely.
However, besides these, the heavy ruler, enhanced by Xiao Yan's strength, bent the spear with its powerful force. Shui Miao, who had attacked first, was blocked by Xiao Yan's heavy ruler and even looked somewhat disheveled.
Surprise flashed across Shui Miao's eyes as she realized that Xiao Yan had detected such a concealed attack. But before she could think any further, the terrifying force had already spread along the spear shaft.
"Damn it, this guy has terrifying physical strength!"
A terrifying power surged from the gun once more, causing Shui Miao's arms to tremble uncontrollably. Her teeth clenched, and as her expression changed, an even more turbulent Dou Qi swept outwards. Even the Origin Qi in the surrounding world moved with it, rushing along the gun towards the raging white flames and the Heavy Xuan Ruler.
At this moment, Shui Miao's immense power as Half-Step Origin Transformation Realm was fully revealed.
"Snort!"
Enveloped in the vast Dou Qi, the trembling spear immediately stabilized. Then, with a cold snort, he slammed his palm hard onto the spear, causing it to bend again as it straightened. Enveloped in Dou Qi, the spear surged forward, even bouncing back the falling heavy ruler.
"Loosen it!"
Taking advantage of the giant ruler being bounced up by the spear, Shui Miao let out a loud shout, gripped the spear tightly with both hands, and with a forceful tremor, the spear tip began to swing rapidly, violently colliding with the Heavy Xuan Ruler, causing it to swing uncontrollably. Then, the spear tip twisted strangely, sparks flying as it unleashed a burst of force, using the force to flick the Heavy Xuan Ruler away from Xiao Yan's hand from below!
"Give up!"
With a single blow, Shui Miao knocked the weapon out of Xiao Yan's hand. Her expression suddenly turned fierce. She withdrew her spear and charged forward. In the blink of an eye, she appeared in front of Xiao Yan. Her right hand gripped the spear, and her left hand transformed into a claw, tearing fiercely at Xiao Yan's chest.
However, facing Shui Miao's repeated and fierce attacks, Xiao Yan did not back down in the slightest. He let Shui Miao's sharp claws pounce on him, his hands suddenly clenched into fists, and he mobilized all the strength in his body at this moment.
"Sizzle!"
In an instant, Xiao Yan's black robe was easily torn to shreds, and then, with undiminished force, a sharp claw landed on Xiao Yan's chest.
"Clang clang clang!"
With his robes torn, Shui Miao's hand landed on Xiao Yan's chest. However, a crisp metallic clang rang out. When everyone present, including Shui Miao herself, looked closely, the scene that unfolded left them all speechless.
At this moment, Xiao Yan's body was covered by a layer of purple-gold scales, which completely blocked Shui Miao's attack that landed on Xiao Yan's chest.
"What!"
Her pupils suddenly contracted, Shui Miao immediately sensed something was wrong. She stomped her foot heavily on the air, and her body shot backward.
" Strength Elephant Art!"
However, at the same moment, Xiao Yan suddenly stepped forward, raised his right fist, and a terrifyingly powerful force rapidly condensed in his palm. He then threw a punch at Shui Miao's chest, which was right in front of him.
Faced with Xiao Yan's punch, Shui Miao dared not be careless in the slightest. He did not have the former's strange protective scales. If he were hit by such a punch, he would probably lose his fighting ability instantly.
At the critical moment, Shui Miao instantly raised the spear in her right hand to block in front of her, and the surging Dou Qi within her body also rushed out and poured into the spear without reservation, in order to block Xiao Yan's punch.
"Clang!"
With a single punch, the world resounded, and everyone's eardrums vibrated violently. Xiao Yan's fist slammed into the spear, unleashing terrifying power in an instant. This fleshy, bony fist was now even more solid than the spear made of special materials.
The moment they made contact, the spear, its hardened shaft reinforced by Dou Qi, bent rapidly and irresistibly until it pressed against Shui Miao's chest, causing her to let out a muffled groan.
"Bang!"
At that very moment, Shui Miao's clothes suddenly burst open, and her entire body instantly lost control, plummeting rapidly towards the ground below.
Before the person even landed, the terrifying force had already blasted a huge crater into the already dilapidated plaza below, and Shui Miao's body was slammed into it and buried deep inside.
Outside the plaza, everyone stared in shock at the scene unfolding before them. They could hardly believe their eyes. Before even half a hundred rounds had passed, Shui Miao, the top student of the North Sea Academy, had already been defeated?
Moreover, he was actually defeated by a Seven-Star Dou Di. I doubt anyone would believe that.
The square was completely silent. The instructors frowned, staring at the dust-filled crater in the center of the battle, their hearts filled with astonishment.
Xiao Yan's sudden appearance had already brought them a great deal of surprise in just a short period of time.
Inside the pavilion, the academy elders were also looking at Xiao Yan in surprise above the plaza. Only Hai Mochen and the black-robed elder, who were high up, were staring at Xiao Yan below with great interest. The former was fine, but the latter, upon seeing the purple-gold scales appearing on Xiao Yan's body, couldn't help but change his expression, even with his composure.
"Who is this kid? How does he possess items from the Ancient Void Dragon Clan? Long Lin Armor... No, that doesn't seem right. I've seen Long Lin Armor before; while it's impressive, it's still far inferior to what he's wearing. This kid seems to be carrying quite a few secrets..."
The black-robed elder, who was originally indifferent to many things, now felt a tinge of curiosity about Xiao Yan because of the things he possessed.
It was at this moment that, from the giant pit in the plaza below, a low, eerie voice echoed out.
"I must admit, I underestimated you before. I didn't expect your physical strength to be so formidable. Well then, it's time for me to show you something real..."
As the words rang out, a thick fog suddenly filled the air within the battle circle surrounded by the mentor's abilities. At the same time, Shui Miao, who was shirtless, flew up again. With each light step of her feet, a small puddle of water would form on the soles of her feet. As she returned to Xiao Yan, nine water curtains actually condensed around her.
"Is this... the Great Dao of Water...?"
Looking at the nine water curtains that condensed around Shui Miao, Xiao Yan couldn't help but murmur a word and smile with interest.
