Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

After all, the other party is a Medicine Saint, who has completely surpassed the Dou Zun. If he comes, I will be inferior to him.

Feng Xian descended upon the high platform, and the gale instantly subsided. He nodded to Thunder Venerable and Sword Venerable, then looked at Yaotianhuo to the side.

"You must be Venerable Heavenly Fire? It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Feng Xian."

Yaotianhuo twitched his lips, thinking to himself, "They've started acting so soon, huh?"

"I am Yaotianhuo, a newcomer here. Greetings, Venerable Feng."

The two had agreed beforehand to pretend they didn't know each other and keep the Starfall Pavilion and Heavenly Fire Pavilion separate, so that they wouldn't both get caught up in a future disaster.

"The fighting spirit that Venerable Wind just unleashed shows that his strength has improved quite a bit recently."

At this moment, Venerable Lei stepped forward and said.

"Not at all, it's just a little progress."

Feng Xian smiled gently.

He was previously at the four-star Dou Zun level, but now he has entered the late stage of the six-star Dou Zun, and is only one step away from breaking through to the seven-star level and becoming a high-level Dou Zun.

The medicinal supplements provided by Yao Chen were indispensable; having an alchemist by your side and not having one makes a world of difference.

With the four great Dou Zun gathered, the Four Directions Pavilion was once again in an uproar, and the competition was about to begin.

"Isn't the teacher here?"

On the arena, Xiao Yan murmured.

"What did you just say, Brother Xiao?"

"nothing."

Xiao Yan shook his head.

Now that the teacher is a Dou Sheng, he really can't go out casually; he still has to guard the Starfall Pavilion.

Senior brother is so free! Even though he's already a Dou Sheng powerhouse, he can still travel around.

Xiao Yan was unaware of Han Feng and Yao Chen's plans; his current strength was insufficient, so he was kept in the dark.

If I can break through to the Dou Sheng realm in the future, it would be better to live the carefree life like my senior brother.

"when!"

The bell rang again, and the contestants on the stage took their positions, all on high alert.

The Sifang Pavilion Tournament is both simple and difficult. Contestants who meet the entry requirements need to persevere to the end in the melee. Once only eight people remain, the first round ends, and the remaining eight people are considered to have initially obtained their rankings in the Sifang Pavilion Tournament.

As long as you make it into the top eight, you'll receive a reward and gain recognition.

Then proceed to the second round.

Eight people will engage in one-on-one battles to select the strongest. The sect represented by the strongest person will become the final winner of the Four Directions Pavilion Tournament.

Generally speaking, the strongest person is selected from the Four Directions Pavilion, and there will be no contestants from other minor sects.

Besides the difference in strength between the disciples themselves, there is another important reason, which is the purpose of the Four Directions Pavilion Tournament.

The ultimate winner will not only receive generous resource rewards, but will also be able to decide the location for the next Four Directions Pavilion Conference.

During this period, the Four Directions Pavilion will recognize this pavilion as the head of the Four Directions Pavilion, and the pavilion master will make the final decision on some important matters discussed together.

Of course, this is under the condition that the strength of the four pavilions is not much different from each other.

Given the Starfall Pavilion's current overwhelming strength, it naturally wouldn't heed the Wind and Thunder Pavilion's decisions.

However, these are all rules passed down from before. Although they secretly know that the situation has changed, they still maintain the original appearance on the surface.

"The competition begins!"

At Lei Zun Zhe's command, the dozens of contestants on the arena began to fight.

Each of the disciples representing the Four Directions Pavilion occupied a corner of the arena, gradually eliminating their opponents.

The remaining contestants were surrounded and began to compete against each other, trying to eliminate the person in front of them with the least amount of effort.

The battle gradually intensified, and some people began to be knocked off the field.

The four corners of the arena had now become restricted areas, completely empty, with no one daring to step in. The four representatives of the four pavilions had completed the initial clearing and were now watching the others compete in the final rounds.

Xiao Yan and Feng Guang stood back to back in the center of the arena, repelling the cultivators who tried to approach.

"Brother Xiao, can you still hold on?"

"Sure, what about you?"

"I can!"

Feng Guang gritted his teeth and increased the proportion of battle qi he infused into the spiritual artifact.

Of the remaining cultivators on the field, all are high-level Dou Huangs, making him, a mere six-star Dou Huang, seem out of place.

If it weren't for Xiao Yan's support, who could share the pressure, Feng Guang would probably have been targeted and knocked off the stage long ago.

The compass spread out a protective aura that blocked the group's attack. Xiao Yan calmly swung his Xuanzhong a few times, and the immense force instantly repelled the group.

Although he is only a seven-star Dou Huang now, his physical strength has become extremely powerful after a series of training sessions and the lightning tempering he underwent a month ago. He can even fight a nine-star Dou Huang without much pressure.

"Brother Feng, if you can't hold on any longer, you can take two pills."

Seeing that Feng Guang's fighting spirit was starting to falter, Xiao Yan threw him two Qi-restoring pills.

"Thank you!"

Feng Guang opened his mouth and caught the pill that flew into the air without even checking whether it was real or fake.

On the high platform, Feng Xian was slightly stunned upon seeing this scene.

Many years ago, he and Yao Chen fought side by side in the same way.

Whenever he felt his fighting spirit falter, Yao Chen would take out a pill to help him recover.

"These two little guys..."

A smile appeared on Feng Xian's lips.

boom!

With the fifth-grade Qi-restoring pill entering his body, Feng Guang's fighting spirit quickly recovered. His eyes gleamed with spiritual light as he poured all his fighting spirit into his magical artifact.

He knew that if they continued to delay, they would soon become the target of public criticism, so he decided to take a gamble.

"Dragnet!"

The magical compass emitted a dazzling light and sent out a powerful energy pressure in all directions.

The cultivators' expressions changed drastically; none of them had expected that a six-star Dou Huang would unleash such powerful energy.

Two of the already injured Seven-Star Dou Huangs had their defenses shattered by the impact, their bodies flying backward and leaving the arena.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan, who was at the center of the energy pressure, nodded secretly. "Brother Feng is quite capable after defeating two Seven-Star Dou Huangs."

The oppressive energy slowly dissipated, and Feng Guang, exhausted, nearly collapsed to the ground.

At this point, only five people remain in the center of the field, meaning one more person needs to leave before the first round ends.

Feng Guang, panting heavily, looked at the three men approaching menacingly.

He had originally intended to eliminate all three opponents in one fell swoop, thus securing victory for himself, but unexpectedly, he only managed to eliminate two.

He swallowed hard and raised his trembling arm.

I haven't recovered my strength yet, it looks like I'll have to leave the stage again this time.

One wrong move, one wrong move indeed...

Given his poor condition, he was clearly the most likely to be eliminated among the remaining five.

Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth as an eight-star Dou Huang rushed to Feng Guang's side. He had almost been knocked back by Feng Guang's attack, so he was both terrified and furious.

A mere six-star Dou Huang...

Just as the fist was about to strike, Xiao Yan moved.

His movements were incredibly fast, far faster than the eight-star Dou Huang. Before anyone could even see clearly, the eight-star Dou Huang was sent flying backward.

Xiao Yan withdrew his fist and rubbed his wrist.

"competition is over."

Feng Guang stared blankly at Xiao Yan, thinking that Brother Xiao looked so handsome now.

Xiao Yan was rubbing his wrist when he suddenly noticed some blood on his knuckles, so he casually wiped it on Feng Guang's clothes.

Feng Guang: ......

"The first round of competition is over!"

The voice of the Thunder Venerable came from above.

The rules on the field do not prohibit mutual assistance. Even if they do, Xiao Yan said that he just didn't like the other party and threw a punch, and the other party could not do anything about it. He could only blame his bad luck.

"Brother Xiao, thank you for earlier."

"It's alright. It's only because you performed well. If you hadn't used that Heavenly Net move, even if I helped you, you wouldn't have been able to convince the crowd."

Xiao Yan waved his hand and said.

"Good luck in the second match. If you run into me, don't expect me to let you off easy."

Feng Guang watched Xiao Yan's retreating figure as he walked towards the Starfall Pavilion's position and smiled gently.

"Brother Xiao is truly an extraordinary person."

When Xiao Yan arrived at the Starfall Pavilion's group, everyone looked at him with newfound respect.

With a single punch, Xiao Yan sent an eight-star Dou Huang flying. Even among the inner disciples, his current strength is considered top-tier.

If he were to participate in the Starfall Pavilion Disciple Competition again, he could probably achieve a top-five or even top-three ranking.

"Young Master's punch just now was truly beautiful."

The Dou Zong elder of the Starfall Pavilion smiled.

Some people didn't see Xiao Yan's punching motion clearly, but this elder saw it perfectly.

That kind of rapid speed is already comparable to some experts who have just entered the Dou Zong realm.

What's even more commendable is that Xiao Yan controlled the force of his punches within a few inches, without unleashing excessive power.

Otherwise, the fate of that eight-star Dou Huang would not have been as simple as just leaving the stage; whether he could even survive would have been uncertain.

The young master's control over force is so exquisite; he has improved so much since he first entered the Starfall Pavilion a few years ago.

"Young Master, do you have any information about the disciples of the other three pavilions?"

"No, why don't you tell me, Elder?"

"it is good!"

The elders of the Starfall Pavilion then recounted information about the disciples of the three pavilions to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan listened attentively. In fact, he didn't care about these things at first, because as a five-star Dou Huang, he wouldn't fight against a peak Dou Huang.

But now, with the help of the energy from the Heavenly Mountain Blood Pool, he has entered the Seven-Star Dou Huang realm, which is a high level, so it's not like he has no hope of winning.

On the high platform, Venerable Lei looked at Xiao Yan and narrowed his eyes as he saw him enter the Starfall Pavilion's formation.

"Venerable Feng, is that young man named Xiao Yan a disciple of your Starfall Pavilion?"

Feng Xian smiled and nodded: "What, has Venerable Lei taken a liking to you?"

"He has a strong physique and precise control of his strength; he is indeed a rare talent."

Lei Zun Zhe said, "If Feng Zun Zhe is willing, I would be happy to take him into the Feng Lei Pavilion."

Feng Xian shook his head: "He is my nephew, it is more appropriate for him to stay in the Starfall Pavilion."

Lei Zun Zhe smiled and said nothing more.

Fifteen minutes later, the bell rang again.

"The second round of the competition shall now begin!"

"In the first match, Xiao Yan of the Starfall Pavilion will face Tang Ying of the Myriad Swords Pavilion!"
