Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

With a flash, he left in the opposite direction from Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan naturally saw through Bai Cheng's plan.

But now that he had taken the Dragon Power Pill, he wouldn't delay any longer.

Otherwise, it will be difficult to deal with the situation once the effects of one's increased strength disappear.

With a flash, Xiao Yan's enormous hand instantly reached out to grab Bai Cheng.

Seeing that he couldn't dodge in time, Bai Cheng created a shield of earth-yellow fighting spirit in front of him, trying to withstand Xiao Yan's attack with his own strength.

Xiao Yan's palm struck Bai Cheng's shield, and after a brief stalemate, he broke through Bai Cheng's shield.

Xiao Yan stepped forward with his right foot, instantly closing the distance to Bai Cheng.

"Baji collapse!"

Taking advantage of Bai Cheng's momentary opening, his elbow struck towards Bai Cheng's chest.

“It’s like this again!!”

Bai Cheng looked at the familiar scene and remembered that a few months ago, Xiao Fan had also used this attack. In the end, due to his lack of experience, he was directly shocked by Xiao Fan's hidden force and was seriously injured and fainted.

"This time, I won't fall here so easily."

Bai Cheng's eyes flashed with a yellowish-brown light as he watched Xiao Yan's elbow strike him.

His muscles instantly emitted a faint yellow light, and he seemed to turn into a stubborn rock.

It made contact with Xiao Yan's elbow.

With a muffled groan, Bai Cheng's body was thrown far away and crashed into the center of the arena.

Having learned his lesson, Bai Cheng immediately neutralized the hidden force of the Eight Extremes Collapse, then struggled to his feet, looking at Xiao Yan not far away with a look of caution in his eyes.

Facing Bai Cheng, Xiao Yan's elbow trembled almost imperceptibly inside his sleeve.

It has to be said that Bai Cheng's physical defense was really high with that move just now.

If it weren't for the effects of the Dragon Power Pill, Xiao Yan might not have been able to injure it.

Without much hesitation, a violent rumbling sound rang out beneath Xiao Yan's feet.

"Explosive step!"

Instantly, the distance between her and Bai Cheng was shortened.

With his internal fighting spirit nearly depleted, Xiao Yan couldn't afford to delay any longer.

His fist, imbued with fighting spirit and carrying a fierce momentum, slammed towards Bai Cheng.

The spear in Bai Cheng's hand had rolled to a corner of the arena after the previous attack. Given Xiao Yan's current speed, he had no time to dodge and could only face it head-on.

boom!

Their fists collided, but this time they did not separate.

Two colors, one yellow and one green, flowed from the two people's bodies, making the entire competition stage dazzling.

Looking at Xiao Yan so close at hand, Bai Cheng could already feel the gradually weakening aura within him, and couldn't help but laugh loudly: "Hahaha, Xiao Yan, the power boost brought by the secret technique still has a time limit after all!"

Bai Cheng looked smug. After this attack, Xiao Yan's strength would drop, and he would become the victor, wiping away his previous humiliation.

Xiao Yan did not answer, but looked at Bai Cheng's eyes with a playful expression.

Just as Bai Cheng was laughing, a roar that sounded like a tiger's howl or a lion's roar came from Xiao Yan's mouth.

Even the air was vibrating, creating concentric sound waves.

Bai Cheng, who was right next to Xiao Yan and still locked in combat, had no idea that Xiao Yan had this move up his sleeve.

The violent roar instantly blocked the fighting spirit within Bai Cheng's body, and then everything went black before his eyes, and he lost consciousness.

Just before he lost consciousness, a look of humiliation and resentment appeared on his face.

Looking at Bai Cheng lying on the dueling platform, Xiao Yan rubbed his slightly numb throat and smiled faintly.

This was the first time Xiao Yan had used this sonic fighting technique in actual combat, and he never expected it to be so effective.

"That really caught me off guard!"

Xiao Yan looked at the unconscious Bai Cheng, then turned to face the direction where the Panmen group was, and smiled faintly.

Chapter 204, Sixth Floor

"The victor is Xiao Yan!"

Looking at Bai Cheng, who had already fainted on the competition stage.

Elder He appeared on the competition stage in a flash and looked at Xiao Yan, speaking calmly.

"Congratulations, little one."

"Thank you for your help, Elder!"

Xiao Yan bowed to Elder He, then exchanged a glance with Xun'er, who was looking worried.

As soon as the protective barrier on the arena disappeared, Xiao Yan rushed to Xun'er's side.

He saw Xun'er's concern when he was on stage, but he couldn't respond because he was too busy fighting Bai Cheng.

"I am okay."

Xiao Yan took Xun'er's hand, then smiled at Hu Jia and the others before the two left.

As for the fire energy obtained from winning the challenge, it was all left to Hu Jia to arrange.

Seeing Xiao Yan leave, Xiao Fan lost all interest in staying. Before Hu Jia could notice them, he pulled Yue Yao and quietly slipped away behind the Panmen group.

By the time Hu Jia realized what was happening, only Wu Hao was still by her side.

With a furious roar of resentment, Hu Jia angrily went to find the person who had made the bet to collect the fire energy from Xiao Yan's victory.

......

The battle between Xiao Yan and Bai Cheng seems to have sparked a wave of challenges on the power rankings.

Half a month has passed since the battle between Xiao Yan and Bai Cheng.

For the past two weeks, seemingly due to the impact of the battle between Xiao Yan and Bai Cheng, the rankings at the bottom of the power rankings have been changing almost daily.

Especially from the 70th place onwards, everyone is constantly challenging the top players on the leaderboard.

You could be among the top-ranked players in the morning, only to be pushed down by others in the afternoon.

This demonstrates the intensity of the competition.

Especially now that the Strong Ranking Tournament is approaching, the arena's arenas are almost entirely filled with Strong Ranking Challengers.

The top experts who were originally quite famous in the inner courtyard are now appearing in droves in the arena.

The once peaceful inner courtyard was ignited by the battle between the Panmen and the Baibang.

Unlike the bustling activity outside, after the battle between Xiao Yan and Bai Cheng, Panmen has become quiet. Apart from the increase in sales of pills, there has been no other activity.

Even Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan completely disappeared from everyone's sight.

Until this day, it was heard that Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan had reappeared in the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower.

Heavenly Flame Refining Tower, sixth floor.

Those inner court disciples who can reach this level are basically students ranked on the strength list.

Xiao Fan and his companion emerged from the stairwell on the sixth floor, looking at the structure before them—so different from the floors above—with considerable surprise.

The sixth floor is about the same size as the floors above, but the number of training rooms built on it is far less than those on the floors above.

Upon closer inspection, the space, which spans several hundred meters in size, is surrounded by about a hundred cultivation rooms.

The decoration of the training room is also different from that above.

The training rooms on this floor are all built with black boulders and intricate arrays carved on them, making them completely different from the seemingly dilapidated training rooms above.

"Is this the sixth level of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower?"

Xiao Yan looked at the space in front of him, his tone somewhat surprised.

He had assumed that this floor would be similar to the training room above, except that the tempering of the heart fire was more intense. However, he did not expect that the training room here would have undergone such a significant change.

"Judging from the size of these training rooms, it seems that each training room can only accommodate one person to cultivate."

Xiao Fan glanced at Xiao Yan, then his gaze swept over the rows of black training rooms, and he slowly spoke.

Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, Xiao Yan realized that the space in these cultivation rooms seemed quite small, and that's when he came to his senses.

As the two stepped out of the array at the stairwell, they immediately felt a scorching energy filling the space on that floor.

"As expected of the sixth level, the fire element power contained in this space is very beneficial to those who cultivate fire attributes, even without entering the cultivation room."

Xiao Yan exhaled a hot breath and said with a slightly flushed face.

"Unfortunately, those who were able to enter this level did not come for the fire elemental power."

Xiao Fan interrupted Xiao Yan with a smile.

He knew the latter's intention: to bring some promising young talents from the Panmen sect to cultivate here.

However, putting aside the fact that the academy would not approve of such behavior, the elemental concentration on this level alone is such that if someone with insufficient strength were to step into it, the resulting inner fire would be enough to take their life in an instant.
