Flame Splitting, Wave Eating Ruler!
A calm voice slowly echoed in Xiao Yan's heart. As the last word fell, he had already swung the Heavy Xuan Ruler.
Then, in the arena, azure fire erupted like a volcano breaking free from the earth's constraints, surging out and covering the sky! Azure flame Dou Qi gushed out from within Xiao Yan, sweeping across the sky. The intense heat of the flame directly caused the temperature on the plaza to rise rapidly!
A thunderous explosion, carrying an extremely terrifying flame storm, swept out from mid-air. Where the storm passed, space vibrated!
Watching the massive azure ruler light streak through the air like lightning, the faint wisps of energy overflowing along its path instantly shattered the large stones on the ground into powder. Moreover, the rapidly spreading crack on the ground, nearly half a meter wide, completely destroyed the plaza. On the stage, the faces of the students were ashen!
Under this single strike, they couldn't even move!
"A secret method to increase cultivation level, an Earth-tier Dou Technique. Either of these could be used as a trump card, yet he used them both like this. Is this kid crazy?"
On the referee's stand, Hu Gan felt the immense energy. With his eyesight, he could naturally see that even fighting normally, Xiao Yan could clear out most of the people here. But precisely because of this, he didn't understand why Xiao Yan would use two trump cards at once, unleashing such a killing move!
Under that ruler shadow, not a single student on the stage could survive!
Suddenly, he abruptly stood up. With a movement of his body, he disappeared from the referee's stand. That ruler shadow inexplicably tore through space, instantly arriving before Hu Jia and the others!
And that sudden change also caused countless people in the audience to turn pale with fright. Looking at the azure ruler light tearing through The Void, even from a great distance, they could still feel its terror. If it were to spread over, probably few people here would survive.
"Space Lock!"
In the nick of time, an aged figure suddenly flashed into the air. A cold shout rang out, and an exceptionally vast energy surged out from within him. And the ruler light, with its overwhelming Momentum, rippled like water within his immense energy, then rapidly writhed like lightning before finally solidifying completely!
Dou Sect was truly the dividing line for powerhouses on the Continent. With Hu Gan's intervention, the space above the entire plaza, along with the terrifying Flame Splitting Wave Eating Ruler light enhanced by Heavenly Flame, was completely solidified.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan was not surprised; in fact, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief, muttering to himself:
"This should be enough to dispel the doubts of those old guys in the academy, right?"
Of course, he wouldn't reveal his trump cards for no reason. However, according to Master Yao's perception, although the powerhouses around him had changed several times, there wasn't a single moment when he wasn't being watched. This situation made Xiao Yan realize that Jia Nan Academy had more or less discovered some of his anomalies. He knew that without giving them an explanation, they clearly wouldn't be at ease about him.
As if hearing Xiao Yan's question, Yao Chen's voice echoed in his heart:
"Almost. These methods are enough to prove your Strength. From now on, as long as you don't seek death, they won't pay so much attention to you."
He still had something left unsaid. Besides his Strength, the things Xiao Yan had displayed, whether it was the Secret Method, the Dou Technique, or even the Heavenly Flame, none of them were simple. And for Xiao Yan to possess all of these simultaneously, the Xiao Family, which could only dominate a small town, couldn't possibly be the only force behind him!
Xiao Yan subtly nodded, then his heart stirred. It seemed as if he had just recovered from the shock of his attack being solidified. His gaze narrowed, then his hands changed, forming strange Hand Seals. With his movements, the arena, already covered by the ground fire, suddenly erupted with azure flame.
The moment the flame appeared, the air was slightly distorted. Even those watching felt sweat dripping down their faces and couldn't help but circulate their Dou Qi to resist. Consequently, the Dou Qi within their bodies rapidly decreased...
Seeing this, Hu Gan's face suddenly changed. However, Xiao Yan's attack had already exceeded his expectations. Even he couldn't be distracted at this point, otherwise, if it exploded, the Outer Academy would likely be half-destroyed.
Therefore, he could only shout a reminder:
"All Elders, quickly take them away!"
This shout finally brought several people back to their senses. They unfurled their wings, turning into streaks of light, and rushed into the Competition Stage, preparing to take the students away from the arena.
However, as soon as they entered the area, they found that the temperature of the azure fire was much higher than they had imagined. Their Dou Qi even felt like it was on the verge of being ignited!
The Green Lotus Core Flame had been brought into the Underground Space by Zhao Li and catalyzed by the Azure Lotus, directly opening to the Twelfth Rank. Its power was naturally no longer comparable to the original Green Lotus Core Flame. Moreover, Xiao Yan's true Strength was already considerably stronger than these Elders. Although he had hidden it, not everyone could withstand it.
However, the methods Xiao Yan used while suppressing himself still caused the Elders' hearts to tremble. The look in their eyes when they looked at Xiao Yan was tinged with fear. Then, without daring to delay, they quickly took the people away. However, this azure fire was something even their Dou King level Strength was unwilling to face. How could those students resist? In just a short while, several people had exhausted their Dou Qi and could no longer stand.
"Enough, Xiao Yan, this is just a competition. Are you planning to destroy my Jia Nan Academy?"
Hu Gan spoke again after seeing everyone leave, but his words, without him realizing it, carried some of the playful tone he used when chatting with fellow powerhouses.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan looked up at him, seemingly weighing whether it was still necessary for him to stay in this academy, and whether he should give them face. After a moment, the azure fire that had nearly covered the plaza receded. Xiao Yan also emerged from that Demon God-like state, all the flames around him returning to his body. Then, his dark eyes looked down, and he said coldly:
"Young people admire righteousness, I understand. However, what you should be doing has always been to attract her, not trying every possible way to trouble me. Remember, there won't be a next time."
Although he had the intention to deal with that gloomy guy, he still had to give Hu Gan face. This was also a good opportunity to point out the reason for his outburst. As for whether they believed it, Xiao Yan didn't care.
After speaking, he turned to look at Xun'er, whose beautiful eyes were wide open, seemingly startled by the immense change.
Xiao Yan chuckled, walked up to her, and waved his hand in front of her eyes, saying:
"Alright, don't be like that. Perhaps these methods of mine can barely catch Xun'er's eye. Let's go."
Saying this, he pulled her, preparing to leave. Seeing this, Xun'er smiled and said:
"Brother Xiao Yan, Teacher hasn't announced the result yet."
Xiao Yan stopped, then asked in return:
"The Inner Academy, do we still need to go?"
After displaying such powerful Combat Power just now, it was normal to ask this question.
As his words fell, the one who answered him was not Xun'er, but Hu Gan. He flashed to Xiao Yan's side and said:
"Xiao Yan, you are indeed very strong, but Jia Nan Academy is not as simple as you see. Let me put it this way, the true Jia Nan Academy is actually the Inner Academy."
Seeing this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but admire him in his heart. As expected, everything was within Master Yao's predictions. After they probed his limits and had a rough idea, he did the opposite and prepared to graduate. But then they were reluctant to let go of this seemingly harmless Peerless Genius.
He showed a look of surprise, then asked curiously:
"Oh? Could it be that the Inner Academy can help me continue to improve my Strength?"
Hu Gan smiled, then said:
"Little friend Xiao Yan, although your Combat Power is formidable, your Strength is still below Dou King. In the Inner Academy, there are things that can help you quickly break through to Dou King!"
He threw out the bait. For cultivators, Time was extremely important, especially the golden time of Cultivation when they were young. Breaking through one day earlier could potentially lead to greater achievements in the future. He believed Xiao Yan understood this principle.
Thus, with the cooperation of a seemingly young person who had actually been struggling in the Black Corner Region for a long time and a ghost who was almost like a god in the Black Corner Region, Xiao Yan successfully entered the Inner Academy, and was even personally invited in by them!
