Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

If Xiao Yan were the rumored good-for-nothing, then perhaps it would be somewhat acceptable.

But the aura the other party is displaying now is not at all like that of a useless person.

"Xiao Lin, you have a good grandson."

Nalan Jie murmured.

On the fighting stage.

The two men's auras flared, and they confronted each other.

"Your abilities are indeed extraordinary; it seems the teacher's warning was correct."

Nalan Yanran performed a sword flourish, and the fighting spirit within her body began to surge.

However, she did not see Xiao Yan make any move for a long time.

"Aren't you going to take action?"

Nalan Yanran frowned and asked.

Xiao Yan stuck the Xuan Heavy Ruler into the ground beside him and flicked his fingers.

"Bring it on."

Nalan Yanran snorted coldly.

"Be careful!"

The sharp wind-attribute battle qi flowed with the sword. Nalan Yanran did not use all her strength directly, but instead accurately shot out several sword qi, stabbing towards Xiao Yan's body from all sides.

Xiao Yan kicked the Xuan Heavy Ruler, and the end of the ruler flew up, spun in the air, and blocked all the sword energy before landing steadily in Xiao Yan's hand.

"Reciprocity is reciprocated."

Swish!

A thick, powerful gust of wind flew out and slashed towards Nalan Yanran.

boom!

Nalan Yan then leaped backward, her body transforming into a blur, as light and natural as willow catkins in the wind.

"It's the Willow Floss Movement Technique of the Yunlan Sect!"

Movement techniques and combat skills have always been extremely precious, and this Willow Floss Movement Technique is at the Xuan level. Needless to say, the difficulty of cultivating it is immense. In the entire Yunlan Sect, there are no more than a hundred people who can master it.

The disciples watching the competition were all amazed. Senior Sister Nalan's Willow Floss Movement Technique was not only highly practical but also pleasing to the eye.

After dodging Xiao Yan's next attack, Nalan Yanran's expression became somewhat solemn.

Although we still don't know the opponent's cultivation level, being able to unleash such a powerful wind means that even if they're not a Great Dou Master, they're not far off.

After all, the biggest characteristic of a Grand Battle Master is the ability to project Battle Qi outwards, which expands the range of their attacks.

Nalan Yanran no longer held back; her longsword trembled, and dense wind-attribute battle qi condensed around her body.

"Wind Spirit Fractal Sword!"

The condensed wind-attribute battle aura suddenly transformed into longswords, their sharpness fully revealed under the sunlight.

"Condensation?"

Xiao Yan was slightly surprised.

The ability to condense battle qi into physical form is a power possessed only by Battle Spirits, yet Nalan Yanran actually managed to condense physical sword qi at the Great Battle Master stage.

"Something capable."

The Yunlan Sect's foundation is still commendable.

The difference between different Xuan-rank techniques can sometimes be significant, and the Xuan-rank combat skills that Yunlan Sect taught Nalan Yanran were undoubtedly top-tier.

No wonder he could condense his battle qi into physical objects at the Great Battle Master stage.

Sharp sword energy attacked Xiao Yan from all directions.

Although it is a condensed matter, it has not reached the level of a Battle Spirit, so the amount of sword energy it can condense is limited.

Nalan Yanran raised her sword finger and manipulated the sword energy to track the target.

Xiao Yan leaped up and down, dodging the sword energy every time it was about to strike him.

"Damn it, it was just a little bit close!"

Nalan Yanran gritted her teeth inwardly.

Unfortunately, the battle aura that had just been gathered had almost dissipated, and the sword energy dissipated automatically.

"This Xiao Yan is quite capable; he actually held out against Senior Sister Nalan for so long!"

The disciples of Yunlan Sect originally thought this would be an easy battle.

As of now, neither side has achieved a decisive victory.

Judging from Nalan Yanran's demeanor, she seemed to be even more aggressive.

"I don't think so. Xiao Yan has been giving way to Senior Sister Nalan the whole time."

"What? How is this possible?"

"Didn't you see? Xiao Yan hasn't actually used a single fighting technique yet."

"Oh? That's true."

"But even so, Senior Sister Nalan couldn't do anything about him."

Those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly. In fact, some sharp-eyed people have already realized that Xiao Yan wasn't taking it seriously at all.

He was just constantly giving Nalan Yanran pointers.

But why did he do that?

"Almost?"

Xiao Yan stopped and turned slightly to look at the furious Nalan Yanran.

"You've already tried, you can't even touch my clothes."

Xiao Yan said calmly.

"Xiao Yan, you're underestimating me!"

Nalan Yanran said angrily.

Xiao Yan tilted his head, his figure quickly disappeared from the spot, and in the blink of an eye appeared beside Nalan Yanran.

"Eight Extremes Collapse!"

The powerful force pierced through the battle qi armor and struck Nalan Yanran hard.

In the moment of crisis, Xiao Yan withdrew some of his strength, turned around gracefully, and returned to his original position.

Nalan Yanran staggered backward, using her willow-flying movement technique to deflect Xiao Yan's force.

Just as she finally managed to stand firm, a series of crisp cracking sounds came from the battle qi armor on her body.

Click, click!

The armor that a Grand Master possesses is now completely shattered.

Nalan Yanran trembled slightly as she looked at Xiao Yan in disbelief.

"You, what on earth are you..."

Xiao Yan smiled faintly.

"Go on, use all your skills."

"I'll make you admit defeat."

Nalan Yanran clenched her fists, finally understanding the meaning of what her teacher had said yesterday.

What would you do if you lost?

Nalan Yanran shook her head.

"How could you be so strong?"

"I can not be reconciled!"

hum!

A cyan sword aura soared into the sky, Nalan Yanran's long hair fell loose, and a huge magic array appeared behind her.

On the stands, the disciples of the Yunlan Sect were on tenterhooks.

Is it finally, finally coming?

Senior Sister Nalan's ultimate move.

If we use this tactic, we should have a chance of winning, right?

Even if the opponent is also very strong.

"The extreme wind!"

A vast power surged toward Nalan Yanran.

Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow slightly.

He seemed to have seen this move before...

Back in the Monster Mountain Range, Yun Yun, the sect leader of the Yunlan Sect, also used a similar tactic.

"Is this the Yunlan Sect's trump card?"

He stretched out his hand, and a terrifying suction force erupted, causing the Xuan Heavy Ruler to fly up from a distance and land steadily in his palm.

Xiao Yan rubbed the uneven ruler, a burning glint in his eyes.

An invisible fire ignited within him.

He slammed his palm heavily onto the Xuanzhong Ruler, and flames spread from his palm to the ruler.

"This, this is!"

The crowd in the stands was instantly stunned.

They had all attended the alchemy competition before, and they still vividly remembered the strange fire that the champion, Yan Xiao, had unleashed.

"How could Xiao Yan know Yan Xiao's move...?"

Someone was speaking when they suddenly stopped.

"Xiao Yan, Yan Xiao... good heavens."

Nalan Yanran was stunned in mid-air.

"Xiao Yan is Yan Xiao?"

Complex emotions surged within her, and the sword in Nalan Yanran's hand suddenly began to tremble.

When the mind is in turmoil, the sword will naturally follow suit.

"How could it be him? How could it be him...?"

Nalan Yanran's expression was bitter.

Upon witnessing this scene, Yun Yun sighed deeply.

We're going to lose.

"Flame Divide - Wave Devouring Ruler!"

Xiao Yan unleashed a blade of light, its power many times greater than it had been back then.

Nalan Yanran thrust out the [Extreme Wind - Sunset Radiance] with her trembling sword. This Yunlan Sect's inherited fighting technique was created by their ancestor Yun Potian and possesses unparalleled power.

Unfortunately, its brilliance was completely obscured by Xiao Yan's Flame Dividing Wave Ruler.

Nalan Yanran gave a self-deprecating smile, slowly closed her eyes, and prepared to face death.

The "trump card" she unleashed was incredibly weak compared to Xiao Yan's.

"Teacher, please forgive me. I don't want to bring shame to Yunlan Sect."

If I were to die under his feet, it would be a good thing.
