Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 107: The Ordinary Xiao Yan

With the top ten seeded players announced, the final ranking competition of the Potential Dragon List has finally begun.

Among the chatting crowd, the first to come on stage was Yue Buqun, and his opponent was a warrior in the middle stage of Baoyuan Realm.

The latter's strength is indeed very strong, and in terms of basic skills alone he is even much stronger than Yue Buqun. However, facing Yue Buqun, who has practiced Huashan swordsmanship for decades, he is still no match for him.

After all, Yue Buqun’s original talent was not bad, it was just because of the limitations of the world.

After joining the chat group, with the help of the chat group, Yue Buqun's talent has been fully demonstrated.

After Yue Buqun and his opponent decided the winner, the dragon-shaped shadow outside his body instantly left his body and pounced directly on the dragon-shaped shadow outside his opponent's body. At a speed visible to the naked eye, the opponent's dragon-shaped shadow was rapidly shrinking.

Feeling the increase in his own dragon energy, Yue Buqun soon showed a hint of joy on his face, but he soon became depressed again.

After all, with his current strength, he can at best make it into the top 40 of this year's Hidden Dragon Ranking competition. He will surely lose to other contestants in subsequent competitions, so he naturally cannot accumulate too much dragon vein energy!

In this way, the games proceeded quickly one after another.

Since the top ten seeded players were separated in advance, there were no battles that people were overly excited about at the beginning.

After all, in many competitions, some contestants will immediately admit defeat in order to preserve their own strength when they encounter opponents who are much stronger than themselves, so it naturally looks quite boring.

After ten rounds of competition, the dragon-shaped phantom on everyone's body in the chat group had greatly increased. Among them, Xiao Yan had the best luck, as he met masters who were on the previous Hidden Dragon List. So after defeating their opponents, the dragon-shaped phantom on Xiao Yan's body had become as long as sixty-two feet.

Although Pang Bo and others were also selected as the top ten seeded players, the opponents they met at the beginning were very ordinary in strength, and the dragon vein energy was not very strong, so their dragon-shaped phantoms were naturally not as good as Xiao Yan's. Even the largest one, Han Li, was only four feet and nine feet long.

Because of this, Xiao Yan, who had a six-foot-tall dragon-shaped shadow behind him, and Pang Bo, who was listed as the top ten seeded players, stood together and naturally stood out. Even many spectators had begun to pay attention to him.

"Who is that person? The dragon-shaped shadow behind him is even bigger than those geniuses selected as the top ten seeded players?"

"I remember him! His name is Xiao Yan. He should be with Pang Bo and the others. I heard that they once entered a mysterious ancient heritage site together?"

"Could it be that Xiao Yan's strength is even stronger than Ye Chen and the others?"

"That's not the case! I watched his previous battles, and it was just because he was very lucky that he had a perfect record!"

"That's pretty impressive too. I saw that he defeated Zhang Tao, who was ranked 33rd in the previous Hidden Dragon Ranking. I think he should have no problem breaking into the top 20 of this year's Hidden Dragon Ranking!"

……

Listening to the discussions of the people in the audience not far away, some powerful geniuses felt quite disdainful.

"He's just a lucky guy!"

Mo Yan, the eldest disciple of Feitian Demon Sect who failed to be selected as one of the top ten seeded players, looked at Xiao Yan with an extremely cold gaze: "In the ranking competition, you need to compete with every genius. You definitely won't be so lucky this time!"

"Moreover, the better your luck is now, the bigger the dragon-shaped shadow behind you will be. By then, it will naturally be a wedding dress for others!"

"I hope I can meet you first next time, and then I will definitely make you regret it!"

As for other powerful geniuses, they naturally had the same idea in their minds.

After all, the rules of the ranking tournament are completely different from those of the previous knockout tournament. In the two rounds of knockout tournaments, each genius only needs to fight ten times. As long as you are lucky enough, there is a chance to avoid those powerful geniuses.

But the ranking competition is different!

Any genius on the list needs to fight with other super geniuses on the Potential Dragon List, so it is naturally impossible to continue to avoid those powerful geniuses.

On the other side, the people standing together and chatting were also teasing Xiao Yan.

Pang Bo turned to look at Xiao Yan and said with a smile: "Xiao Yan, those people are saying that you are lucky, what do you think?"

Xiao Yan touched his nose, and then replied helplessly: "Can you blame me? I have always wanted to compete with those powerful guys, but every time I fight, I always encounter some ugly guys. I am also very depressed!"

After hearing this, Han Li on the side couldn't help but feel a little jealous. He also wanted such treatment.

Thinking of this, Han Li quickly looked at Xiao Yan and said, "Xiao Yan, you are really lucky. Every time you grab red envelopes in the chat group, you grab more than others. This time in the competition is the same. You didn't encounter any powerful masters at all! Do you have any tricks? Teach me!"

After hearing this, Xiao Yan quickly showed a smile on his face, and then said modestly: "Brother Han, there is no secret of mine, I just look a little more handsome!"

"This……"

Han Li, who had a dark complexion, was slightly stunned, and then he said: "Xiao Yan, you better look forward to meeting me later!"

"Brother Han, don't get excited!"

Xiao Yan quickly explained with a smile: "I was just kidding! In terms of luck, how can I compare with you who holds the Palm of Heaven Bottle and can exchange various resources with the group leader at any time!"

At this moment, Ye Chen on the side suddenly said: "In fact, I think that Xiao Yan did not encounter a powerful genius in the elimination round. It was completely the luck of others!"

After hearing this, Pang Bo was slightly stunned, and then quickly asked: "Ye Chen, what do you mean by this?"

Ye Chen quickly explained: "Brother Pang, think about it, if Xiao Yan encounters those powerful opponents at the beginning, then wouldn't we have to occupy one more spot in the final top ten seeded players?"

"That's true!"

Pang Bo even said with a smile: "If Xiao Yan had met Si Kong Sheng before and accidentally defeated him, then this Hidden Dragon Ranking competition would not be fun!"

After hearing this, everyone in the chat group laughed.

Xu Jing, who was standing with them, couldn't help feeling a little confused as she listened to the conversation between Pang Bo and others.

Because Xu Jing was Ye Chen's future wife, Pang Bo and others often did not avoid her when communicating with her, so Xu Jing also noticed some special things about them.

However, no matter how special it is, it is really too exaggerated to say such a thing!

Could it be that Xiao Yan, who always seemed mediocre and whose strength was about the same as Xu Jing's, actually had the strength to defeat Sikong Sheng, the first on the previous Hidden Dragon List and the eldest disciple of Xuankong Mountain?
Thinking of this, Xu Jing couldn't help but shook her head and quickly kicked this idea out of her mind.

Time passed, and soon it was the second day. Xiao Yan finally met an extremely powerful opponent in the 39th round of the competition, the eldest disciple of Tianyun Sect, Lin Yun!

Lin Yun was ranked fifth in the previous Hidden Dragon List. He was already extremely powerful. Moreover, before this Hidden Dragon List competition, he had practiced his main Earth-level top-level technique to the eleventh level. Naturally, his power was extremely terrifying.

Even the leader of the Tianyun Sect believed that Lin Yun had the strength to compete for the first place on the Potential Dragon List. Not only did he promise him that he would become the next leader of the Tianyun Sect after winning the first place, he also used the entire sect's strength to help him prepare many deadly moves to deal with other geniuses.

"The 39th round, the 15th match, Lin Yun versus Xiao Yan!"

After hearing what the referee said, many spectators around and even the geniuses on the Hidden Dragon List became quite excited.

You know, Xiao Yan’s luck before was really good!
In the ranking competition at this time, except for the final ten seeded players, the other potential talents on the list have already suffered one or two defeats.

Among them, Bing Ling, the eldest disciple of Bingjue Sect, was defeated by Yan Chihuo, who was ranked second in the previous Hidden Dragon List, in the 19th round; Qian Yun, the second disciple of Luoxia Sect, was defeated by Lin Yun, the eldest disciple of Tianyun Sect; Gu Youyun, a disciple of Xuankong Mountain, was defeated by Tuoba Ku; and Mo Yan, a disciple of Feitian Demon Sect, was the most unlucky, as he was defeated again by Pang Bo, who had defeated him before!
You know, Bing Ling and the other three are all the most powerful talents below the top ten seeded players!
Even they were defeated by the top ten seeded players, let alone other geniuses.

The only exception is Xiao Yan!

In the previous competitions, Xiao Yan had never met any of the top ten seeded players, nor had he met any of Bing Ling and the other three, so until now he has maintained an undefeated record, just like the top ten seeded players!
However, in previous battles, Xiao Yan had never shown overwhelming strength, which made everyone present feel that "when there are no heroes, young men become famous."

And now, Xiao Yan finally faced off against the top ten seeded players, and that player was Lin Yun, the eldest disciple of Tian Yun Sect, who ranked among the top among the top ten seeded players!

"This Xiao Yan has finally met one of the top ten seeded players!"

"Yeah, I thought his luck would keep getting better!"

"I wonder if Lin Yun will use the same trick he used to defeat Qian Yun to defeat Xiao Yan this time?"

"That shouldn't be the case! Although Xiao Yan's strength is good, I think he is definitely not as strong as Qian Yun's. He can maintain an undefeated record only because he is lucky enough!"

On the other side, after hearing his name, the aura of Lin Yun, the eldest disciple of Tian Yun Sect, instantly exploded. His figure flashed, and he slammed heavily on the arena like a meteorite. The domineering aura emanating from his body made everyone terrified.

Different from Lin Yun's arrogance and domineering attitude, Xiao Yan had a faint smile on his face. Then he flashed and landed on the arena as well.

In the eyes of everyone, a surprising but meaningful duel was finally about to begin. "Hahaha, my luck is really good!"

On the competition stage, Tianyun Sect's eldest disciple Lin Yun looked at Xiao Yan, whose dragon-shaped shadow was almost the same as his own, and laughed, "Before, we were just chatting and guessing who you, a lucky guy, would meet first. I didn't expect it to be me!"

"Xiao Yan, it is definitely my good luck to meet you first, but it is bad luck for you!"

"But don't worry. To thank you for giving me so much dragon energy, I will be quicker and more decisive next time I attack, and I will definitely not let you get hurt too badly!"

And in the chat group.

[Pang Bo: I didn’t expect that Lin Yun would install it! ]

[Han Li: I originally thought that the unlucky Mo Yan would be the first to meet Xiao Yan, but I didn't expect it to be this guy! ]

[Yue Buqun: I remember that Lin Yun's performance in the original novel was also quite bad. He was obviously very powerful, but he let Murong Qingcheng down in the battle and was eventually defeated by her. It was really laughable! ]

[Pang Bo: A toad wants to eat swan flesh! This guy is just a clown. Xiao Yan, teach him a lesson and wake him up from his daydreams! ]

[Han Li: Actually, I think, Xiao Yan, you should be gentler, otherwise it would be bad if you scare others! ]

[Xiao Yan: Stop talking, it's finally my turn to show off, everyone please watch! ]

"Lin Yun, I'm really happy to meet you!"

Xiao Yan smiled and said, "I couldn't let go of my hands and feet when I fought with other people before. Your strength is much stronger than theirs, so I'm not worried about hitting you too hard and killing you!"

Did he hit Lin Yun too hard and kill him?
After hearing what Xiao Yan said, everyone around couldn't help but be stunned.

Lin Yun, who was opposite Xiao Yan, was also slightly stunned, and then suddenly became furious.

"Xiao Yan, you are too arrogant!"

Lin Yun was immediately furious and said, "You are just a lucky guy who has won so many games by chance. I don't even consider you as an opponent! You want to kill me with your heavy blows? Now I will let you see my strength!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a gleam of light flashed in Lin Yun's eyes, which contained the artistic conception of a meteorite falling from the sky, and it directly and fiercely pressed towards Xiao Yan.

At the same time, Lin Yun shouted loudly, and then an iron spear surrounded by dark red flames suddenly appeared in his hand, and then he rushed towards Xiao Yan with the spear.

"Four Skyfire Guns!"

As soon as the shot was fired, the dark red flame instantly spun wildly and turned directly into flame threads that shot towards Xiao Yan. The scorching temperature even ignited the fire energy in the air!

Looking at Lin Yun's terrifyingly powerful attack, Xiao Yan couldn't help but be stunned.

"You dare to play with fire in front of me? Put it out!"

Xiao Yan's mind moved, and a hint of fire flashed in his eyes.

Then, with a puff sound, the terrifyingly powerful flame thread was instantly extinguished.

At this moment, Lin Yun's three subsequent shots also attacked instantly, each shot was more violent and faster than the last. Even without relying on burning flames, they had the power to split mountains and rocks.

"Finally, it's a little interesting! Flame Dividing Wave Ruler!"

A black iron ruler instantly appeared in Xiao Yan's hand, and then he used an earth-level fighting skill that he had learned from his teacher Yao Chen.

Although his strength was suppressed to the level equivalent to the peak of Baoyuan Realm, this earth-level fighting skill still carried tremendous power when it was performed. It completely disintegrated the Four Skyfire Guns performed by Lin Yun in an instant, and even swept towards the opponent with the remaining power.

When the people watching the battle outside saw Xiao Yan launch such a terrifying attack, they couldn't help but be stunned, and then they quickly looked at each other in surprise.

"A meteorite strike!"

On the other side, Lin Yun was surprised to see that his attack was instantly broken by Xiao Yan, and he also used another of his special moves again.

He took a deep breath and poured all his energy into the iron spear in his hand. Then, man and spear became one, and he instantly charged towards Xiao Yan with an unstoppable momentum.

With this move, the younger generation who were closer to the arena were all affected by the artistic conception. Some of those with weaker strength even felt that huge meteorites had appeared in the sky and were hitting them.

"Lin Yun finally used his ultimate move!"

"Qian Yun was defeated by this move before!"

"I wonder if Xiao Yan can block this move!"

The people watching from outside all became excited at this time.

Among the warriors in the Baoyuan realm, there are probably few who dare to say that they can withstand Lin Yun's ultimate move.

But at this moment, Xiao Yan just swept the black iron ruler in his hand lightly, and defeated Lin Yun's domineering attack.

Then...

"Baji collapse!"

Xiao Yan's body swayed, and he instantly crashed into Lin Yun, knocking Lin Yun dozens of meters away.

puff!
Lin Yun, who was rapidly retreating, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and his entire artistic conception was completely destroyed.

"what?"

"Lin Yun is actually at a disadvantage? How is this possible?"

"How could Xiao Yan be so strong?"

The people watching from outside were stunned for a moment.

They didn't expect that even after Lin Yun used his ultimate move, it was still broken by Xiao Yan.

But just when everyone thought that Lin Yun would soon be defeated by Xiao Yan...

"Xiao Yan, I didn't expect you to be so strong, even stronger than the top ten seeded players!"

Lin Yun steadied himself and flicked his right hand gently, quickly gathering the spurting blood together: "Blood Flame Break!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the blood in Lin Yun's hand instantly turned into a blood-red gun tip and shot directly towards Xiao Yan.

call out!
The blood-red spear tip moved at an extremely fast speed and appeared in front of Xiao Yan almost instantly. It then turned into a blood-red flame that grew in the wind and completely engulfed Xiao Yan in an instant.

Seeing his ultimate move devour Xiao Yan, Lin Yun finally showed a smile on his face: "In fact, this move was originally prepared by me specifically for Sikong Sheng. It is your honor to be defeated by this move!"

But at this moment, a voice was heard again from the blood-red flame.

"Lin Yun, I just reminded you not to play with fire in front of me!"

Wrapped in the blood-red flames, Xiao Yan simply stretched out one hand, and the surrounding blood-red flames instantly gathered towards his hand and soon turned into a ball of blood-red flame again.

"This flame is quite interesting!"

Xiao Yan felt the power of the flame in his hand, then looked at Lin Yun and said, "Since you think you can defeat me, then take another move from me!"

Xiao Yan's mind moved, and a trace of green flame appeared in his hand again. It was the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire before it merged with the Fallen Heart Flame.

Afterwards, the green flame and the blood-red flame slowly rose up, and soon merged together in front of Xiao Yan, forming a strange lotus with green and blood colors.

"Go! Buddha's Angry Fire Lotus!"

Xiao Yan waved his hand lightly, and the strange lotus instantly shot towards Lin Yun.
