When the bystanders learned about the task Lu Xing had accepted ier Academy and uood the situation, they couldn't help but cast some 'admiring' goward Xiao Yan.

  However, there was also a hint of mockery in their eyes.

  It was an annual tradition for udents to challehe older ones upoering the Outer Academy. Hence, when Lu Xing and others made the udents sunbathe, it was indeed a tradition.

  Yet, for someone like Xiao Yan to challenge a Xuan Rank css student was unpreted in many years.

  "Hmph, I don't know what backwater this bumpkin crawled out of, thinking this is his backyard."

  "Idiots like him ofteo die the most miserable deaths."

  Some first-year students who had e from elsewhere said with a cold snort, "Tch, he really sees himself as some big shot. He ought to take a long hard look in the mirror first!"

  Maudents were quite dissatisfied with Xiao Yan's unventional behavior! After all, most udents were hoping to stand out a bit. Now, on the very first day, he had already stolen the spotlight.

  As for the person iion, Xiao Yan, he simply didn't seem to care at all. He stood on the square with his hands behind his back, his face still wearing his usual fident smile.

  For Xiao Yan to a such a manner, in the eyes of others, he was either an idiot or even something that did not know how to die!

  Xun Er's gaze turned cold upon hearing those murmurs. A flicker of golden fme fshed through her autumn water-like eyes. She wished she could step forward and shut those people up herself.

  "If the senior brother is profit with ons, you may use one," Xiao Yan kindly reminded.

  Lu Xing's lips curled into a cold smile. "No need. If I had to use ons against a student who has just ehe Outer Academy, I wouldn't know where to put my face. Let's not waste any more time aarted."

  Xiao Yan nodded, his expression remaining calm. However, his body was already tense as he secretly circuted his Dou Qi. He khat someone whose cultivation had reached the 6-star Dou Master stage could not be taken lightly, even if he himself possessed many trump cards.

  As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Xing's right foot exerted ford stomped on the ground, leaving a series of long-sting afterimages.

  "It's the High Huang agility-type Dou Teique, Remnant Shadow Step. I didn't expect Senior Lu Xing to have cultivated it to su extent that it could produce three afterimages!"

  Lu Xing quickly approached Xiao Yan with a thud. The afterimages swung their right fists toward Xiao Yan's face, chest, and abdomen.

  Even though the afterimages were able to fuse one's vision, such tricks were child's py for Xiao Yan, who possessed strong Spiritual Strength.

  He dodged the punch by sidestepping, then grabbed Lu Xing's right hand and with a gentle push and pull, using the principle of using a minimum amount of forove a heavy weight, he threw Lu Xing away. Not stopping there, he took advantage of Lu Xing's unstable ter of gravity and kicked him right it!

  "Ah!" Lu Xing fell face-first to the ground, perf a textbook fat.

  Everyone gasped in shock. They couldn't dis the real from the fake among the various afterimages attag simultaneously. Yet, Xiao Yan remained ued and even mao terattack.

  Instructor Ruo Ling's brow furrowed as she softly said, "It's his Spiritual Strength. I almost fot that this kid is also a 1st-tier alchemist. Such petty tricks are actually child's py for him."

  Lu Xing got up, his face alternatiween green and white. His gaze was fixed on the young man in the square with a hint of hiddement fshing in his eyes.

  "Shattering Rock Heavy Fist!" Lu Xing stomped the ground once again, causing a loud bang as his figure reappeared in front of Xiao Yan.

  Lu Xing's right fist densed ahy-yellow Dou Qi that grew enormously as the massive fist shadow smashed toward Xiao Yan. The tter used his arms to block, and the huge fist shadow smashed heavily into his arms.

  Xiao Yan was sent flying backward, rolling several times on the ground before stopping. In the process, the tiles on the floor were shattered into pieces.

  The power of this strike could be imagined.

  "Haha, this is what you get for uimating your senior! A few hand bones must have been broken..."

  Before Lu Xing could finish speaking, Xiao Yan slowly stood up and shook his hands to relieve the numbness. He then shook his head, clearly dissatisfied. 'No matter how mue's body is trained, relying on physical strength alone is still no match for a Dou Master's Dou Teique attack.'

  Xiao Yan had been thinking too naively. Even though he had cultivated Oe Bst and Fme Splitting Tsunami for a long time, exercised his body every day for ten years, and even devoured a strand of the Bone Chilling Fme, the human body could never pare to that of a magical beast.

  All eyes turo Xiao Yan. When they saw him standing up unharmed, their expressions ged dramatically!

  Are you even human?!

  You are not a magical beast in human skin, are you?!

  "You... you... you! How is this possible?!" Lu Xi ihis person had just blocked his Xuan Css Dou Teique with only his physical body!

  A cold smile slowly curled up at the er of Xiao Yan's mouth as his eyes turned icy. "It's my turn to attack, senior."

  With a grim smile at the panicked Lu Xing, Xiao Yan circuted his Dou Qi throughout his body and stomped on the ground. His five fingers ched into a fist, the knuckles making a crag sound as he fiercely aimed at Lu Xing's chest.

  A tit for tat!

  Oe Bst!

  Lu Xing's plexion ged drastically again as he felt the intense wind pressure greeting his face. His heart was horrified.

  'Is this guy really an 8-star Dou Practitioner? Such a strong aura!'

  He gritted his teeth as this thought fshed through his mind. Enveloped by Xiao Yan's attack, it was impossible for him to dodge with his agility-type Dou Teique. Therefore, he had no choice but to deal with the attack head-on.

  Lu Xing quickly took out a long spear from his ste ring, grabbed it with both hands, and executed a Dou Teique called 'Immovable Spear Mountain!'

  The silver-white spearhead of his spear pierced into the ground, transf the spear shaft into a shield that merged with the ground to withstand the attaot feeling secure enough, pale yellow earth-attribute Dou Qi gradually emerged from his body aually formed a thin yer of Dou Qi cloak around him.

  Catalyzing Dou Qi into an energy cloak that adhered to the body was a hallmark of a Dou Master. This kind of energy cloak not only enhahe user's defense, speed, and attack, but also amplified the power of Dou Teiques.

  A 6-star Dou Master going so far as to use a on and unleash a Dou Qi cloak against an 8-star Dou Practitioner showed just how terrifying Xiao Yan's Oe Bst was.

  Xiao Yan's lips curled into a cold smile as he tio push forward before his strike nded squarely on the long spear.

  Eight yers of hidden force burst forth!

  The Oe Bst was a High Xuan Dou Teique and was Xiao Yan's most profit teique. When fully mastered, the power of the Oe Bst could be pared to the weakest Di Css Dou Teique.

  g, g, g...!

  The terrifying force of the impact caused Lu Xing to retreat step by step, the long spear digging a deep tren the ground as waves of hidden force transferred to his body.

  Xiao Yan shook his head inwardly as he saw Lu Xing almost step out of bounds. Although the other party used a on to defend himself, the main reason was his own weaker cultivation. If they were at the same cultivation level, the aftermath of the Oe Bst alone could shatter the Dou Qi cloak.

  Even Instructor Ruo Ling couldn't help but ge her expression. No matter who it was, no one could deny the strength of Xiao Yan's attack. He was clearly overp his oppo! The fact that Lu Xing had to resort to using a on to block this punch spoke volumes. If there hadn't been a on, wouldn't the oppo have been seriously injured?!

  Suddenly, a pitch-bck giant ruler fell to the ground with a heavy thud, causing the ground to shake. Xiao Yan grabbed the handle of the Heavy Xuan Ruler with both hands, his gaze sharpening as he forcefully pulled it out.

  "Senior, since you're using a on, then I won't be polite."

  There was no trace of respe his words!

  Buzz! The mysterious patterns on the Heavy Xuan Ruler suddenly lit up, and a terrifyi rose from within the ruler. The temperature of the entire square uedly rose by one degree!

  Fme Splitting Tsunami!
