" The Power of the Great Dao! That's right, Senior Shui Miao also possesses the Power of the Great Dao! Back when he was still Five-Star Dou Di, there were already rumors that he had comprehended the Power of the Great Dao. Now, seeing it, it's actually the Great Dao of Water, which shares the same attribute as his. Senior Shui Miao was holding back against this kid before, but now that he's unleashed the Power of the Great Dao, Xiao Yan is definitely going to lose!"
On the plaza, the students' faces lit up with fervor when they saw the nine water curtains that condensed around Shui Miao.
Although Xiao Yan had previously displayed considerable strength, this was only a part of it. In the face of the Power of the Great Dao, all of Xiao Yan's advantages would be greatly diminished.
The Power of the Great Dao is the most profound power in this world, and very few people in the world can comprehend it. However, those who can comprehend the Power of the Great Dao are far more powerful than ordinary experts of the same level.
Even though Xiao Yan possessed extraordinary combat strength, he could no longer unleash his usual extraordinary power in the face of the Power of the Great Dao.
"Hiss... Nine Paths already? I remember, this kid only comprehended six Paths a few years ago, and now he has actually successfully condensed nine. It seems that in the past few years, not only has his behavior improved, but his Power of the Great Dao has not lagged behind at all."
"Hehe, as expected of someone even the dean thinks highly of. Once this little guy grows up, he'll definitely become a giant in the future!"
"Hehe, but I'm curious, what is the Power of the Great Dao of that Xiao Yan guy?"
Just as the elders were marveling at Shui Miao, the elder who had first noticed Xiao Yan chuckled again. He felt that this Xiao Yan seemed to be somewhat unusual.
Upon hearing this, the other elders beside him also glanced at Xiao Yan with curiosity, but then shook their heads. Although they did not know what kind of Power of the Great Dao Xiao Yan had mastered, his cultivation level was still low, and the time he had spent comprehending the Power of the Great Dao must not have been long. Now that Shui Miao had already unleashed the Power of the Great Dao, it seemed that Xiao Yan was about to be defeated.
At the same time, Shui Miao, who was in front of Xiao Yan, also made a move again.
Just as the surrounding crowd was discussing, Shui Miao suddenly plunged her right hand into a water curtain beside her, and then pulled hard, causing the entire water curtain to deform and twist.
Pulling it in front of her, Shui Miao swept her hands across it, and the water curtain immediately contracted and lengthened, transforming in the blink of an eye into a long spear entirely condensed from the Power of the Great Dao.
"This is... the Great Dao Form Condensation!"
" The Great Dao Form Condensation!"
The moment the spear materialized in Shui Miao's hand, a gasp of surprise rang out from the distant pavilion. A group of elders could hardly believe their eyes. To Great Dao Form Condensation Power of the Great Dao. Back then, these old fellows had suffered greatly and spent countless hours trying to comprehend the Great Dao Form Condensation. Yet, Shui Miao's actions had deeply shocked them.
Ordinary people know that the Power of the Great Dao is extremely difficult to comprehend, but they do not know how great the difficulties are to be able to wield the Power of the Great Dao even if one comprehends it. The Great Dao Form Condensation is another major obstacle after comprehending the Power of the Great Dao.
"This kid... his growth rate is far more terrifying than we expected!"
Inside the pavilion, several elders took a deep breath and slowly spoke with expressions of shock.
"Hehe, not bad. Three water curtains in three years, this little guy is quite good, but compared to Xiao Yan, he still has some way to go."
High above the clouds, the man in black robes looked down at Shui Miao, who was displaying the Power of the Great Dao. He chuckled, but there was a hint of mockery in his eyes. Hai Mochen, standing to the side, could only shrug helplessly.
" Xiao Yan, I can sense that you also possess the aura of the Power of the Great Dao. Come, let us settle this with the Power of the Great Dao!"
A clear, loud shout echoed throughout the world. Upon hearing Shui Miao's words, the expressions on the faces of the surrounding students all changed. They hadn't expected that even Xiao Yan had mastered the Power of the Great Dao.
"Since you've extended such a warm invitation, I'll reluctantly accept."
With a slight smile, Xiao Yan's thoughts stirred, and the invisible void around him suddenly twisted and then exploded with a loud bang.
Streams of mysterious, pitch-black energy surged out from the dark phantom, intertwining and coalescing around Xiao Yan, forming one curtain after another.
The moment Shui Miao and the academy elders saw those strange energies, their expressions changed. Their disbelieving gazes were fixed on the black tent that had formed around Xiao Yan, and their shock was immense.
"Hiss..."
"This... it's actually... the void... the Great Dao of the Void!"
"This Xiao Yan..."
"He actually comprehended the Great Dao of the Void, that's truly... astonishing!"
When the elders recognized the Great Dao that Xiao Yan had mastered, everyone was filled with boundless shock. They simply couldn't believe that Xiao Yan could comprehend the Great Dao of the Void.
If the Great Dao revealed by Shui Miao was already enough to amaze them, then the Great Dao of the Void that they saw now was enough to terrify them!
The Great Dao of the Void is among the most powerful of all Power of the Great Dao. Its uniqueness is simply heaven-defying. Throughout the history of the continent, anyone who has mastered the Great Dao of the Void has been an extremely powerful being, and may even have already stood at the very top of the continent's pyramid.
This alone is enough to imagine just how terrifying the Great Dao of the Void truly is!
However, the shock that Xiao Yan brought them was far from over.
As everyone present watched in disbelief as one tent after another coalesced around Xiao Yan, the expressions on their faces became increasingly exaggerated. Even the academy elders were all dumbfounded.
"Seven..."
"Eight..."
"Nine..."
"Ten!"
With ten tents in total, Xiao Yan had already surpassed Shui Miao in terms of the sheer amount of Power of the Great Dao!
At this moment, disbelief was written all over everyone's face. Shui Miao, standing opposite Xiao Yan, had an extremely solemn expression on his handsome face.
The more he interacted with the person before him, the more terrifying he felt. Looking across the entire continent, there were not many among the younger generation who could command his respect. Yet now, this Xiao Yan, whose origins were unknown, was destined to join that group.
In fact, compared to them, Xiao Yan and his group posed a greater threat to him!
" Xiao Yan... his surname is Xiao... could it be... but that doesn't make sense. I know those guys in his family very well, and there hasn't been anyone like him in recent years. Who exactly is he?"
Staring intently at Xiao Yan before him, a hint of suspicion suddenly welled up in the depths of Shui Miao's eyes. Xiao Yan reminded him of a certain family on the continent, but after some thought, he dismissed the idea.
With his confidence, he knew that family couldn't possibly produce such an outstanding individual. Besides, Xiao Yan had said that he was Hai Mochen's old friend and disciple, so he didn't believe that Hai Mochen had any connection with that family.
Furthermore, if Xiao Yan were truly from that family, he would surely recognize him. However, judging from Xiao Yan's actions, the latter seems not to know him at all, and his knowledge is limited to the name Shui Miao.
"Call..."
Composing herself, Shui Miao let out a long, trembling breath, trying her best to calm herself down. After a long while, she finally raised her spear, faced Xiao Yan, and said in a chilling tone:
"Again!"
