The Battle Through Heaven
Ten Exchanges
Xiao Yan completely relaxed after he finished ‘Pan’s Gate’ correctly. Since Xiao Li still needed time to gather the helpers at his end, the completely relaxed Xiao Yan did not make any moves to leave the Inner Academy.
The news that/that Xiao Yan was about to leave was not spread. This is because Wu Hao and the others know that/it is so this news is known by the people inside the ‘Pan’ Gate, it is inevitable that/it many people will be disappointed. In any case, Xiao Yan often disappeared. It was a common problem for him to disappear for several months. Therefore, hiding it would also be very easy. It might be better to announce this news in the future when the time has come.
Xiao Yan calmly remained within the Inner Academy for the next period of time. He occasionally refined some low-level medicinal pills in public and treated them as gifts he gave to the members of ‘Pan’s Gate’ that formed an audience around him. Countless numbers of people would come and observe each time he sifted through the medicinal pill. Although the number of alchemists currently ‘Pan Gate’ recruits is not small, it is not, even the alchemists within ‘Pan’s Gate’ felt great curiosity towards this leader who held the title of top alchemist within the Inner Academy. After all, most of the new students had never seen the often praised medicinal pill refining competition between Xiao Yan and the ‘Medicinal Gang’ leader back then.
Lin Yan came and found him with a face full of sly smiles on one day when Xiao Yan was waiting for a prank. Afterwards, the former dragged him out of ‘Pan’s Gate’ and took him to the winding Battle Arena in the Inner Academy.
The Inner Academy Battle Arena was the most popular venue in the entire Inner Academy. There were many people who wiped their sweat away in this place. Winners will enjoy cheers, honors, or rankings while losers can only retreat hopelessly before holding their anger to practice, anticipating the day when they can get back to their opponents.
The huge arena, however, was empty when Xiao Yan entered the place. The usual endless battles had disappeared. Instead, the surrounding high platform was filled with densely packed human heads. The private conversation was like the countless number of flies buzzing in the Battle Arena.
This buzzing sound suddenly disappeared the moment Xiao Yan entered the area. Many gazes gradually became hot. A moment later, lightning-like cheers sounded beside his ears.
’’ You ... what do you think to do? Don't tell me you want to fight with me here? ” That loud voice caused Xiao Yan to knit his brows as he helplessly spoke to Lin Yan beside him.
’’ I don't want to receive a beating. However, the one who wanted to take the beating was someone else. ” Lin Yan laughed out loud. He immediately raised his hand and clapped his hands. A loud clapping sound appeared around the arena. Two human figures suddenly rushed out before blinking and appearing in the Battle Arena below. Xiao Yan's gaze floated. He was stunned to realize that/it was the two people below surprisingly Lin Xiuya and Liu Qing.
” These two guys? ” Xiao Yan asked in a stunned manner while observing the excited gazes of Lin Xiuya and Liu Qing as they raised their heads below.
” I know that/that you should need a number of helpers when returning to the Jia Ma Empire this time. Therefore, I have told these two people about your matter. Of course, I did not express any intention to invite them. However, these two people voluntarily said that/that they would also follow you to the Jia Ma Empire to experience the so-called Misty Cloud Sect if you could defeat the two of them. ” Lin Yan shrugged his shoulders and spoke with a smile.
Xiao Yan was surprised. He immediately looked down at the two people with surprise. It was quite normal for Lin Yan to follow him into the Jia Ma Empire. After all, the latter had already been mentioned back then. However, these two people were actually also …
” Hee hee, most of the old friends who were here back then had already left Inner Academy. There is no longer much meaning to continue living here now. Actually, a group of people back then did admire you a little. These two people usually act very proud but they also have the same thoughts towards you. From a certain point of view, they also think of you as someone they can make friends with. ’’ Lin Yan smiled and explained.
’If you also think that/that these two people deserve to be friends, you should agree to their request. Moreover, you must not withstand anything and ruthlessly give them a blow. ’
” That's right, Xiao Yan, defeat these two comrades. These two men maintained the highest winning percentage within the Fighting Arena. You'll be leaving soon. Leave a sign that/that someone else will have trouble exceeding. Young people have to do crazy things. ’’ Laughter suddenly sounded from behind. Xiao Yan turned around and saw that/it was actually Wu Hao, Xiao Yu, and a large group of people. From their expressions, it seemed like they had already realized this much earlier.
Xiao Yan looked at Lin Yan's serious expression and then the exhilarating face of Wu Hao and the others. He's dumbfounded. A moment later, he smiled and nodded before saying, ” Since this is the case, I will ruthlessly flatten these two people. Actually, I have a desire to do this first. However, I do not have the ability. ’
Xiao Yan's toe was pressed on the ground after saying this. His body flipped the guardrail and rushed down like a shadow, appearing in the arena in an instant.
Xiao Yan opened his mouth and smiled as he looked at their somewhat excited faces. He clenched his fists and the sound of cracked nuts began to appear.
A cheer that could move mountains and reverse seas rang out from the viewing gallery when Xiao Yan entered the arena. One person who fought against two classes of Dou Wang Inner Academy Elders. This extremely interesting line-up was something that rarely appeared within the Fighting Arena. The three people who appeared were the most outstanding people from ‘Strong Ranking’ back then. The current legendary hue of Xiao Yan within the Inner Academy was something that no one could match. Lin Xiuya and Liu Qing were also in the top three on ‘Strong Ranking’ back then. Now, the two were amongst the Elders and their strength could not be underestimated. With the two of them joining hands, it seemed like they could barely fight against an elite Dou Huang.
’’ Xiao Yan, do not hold anything back this time. Liu Qing and I will also unleash all of our strength. ’’Lin Xiuya saw the smiling face of the black-robed young man, who was standing tall in front of him as he laughed.
” We'll be your fighters if you beat both of us! ” Liu Qing said. His gaze was wild and hot as he observed Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan smiled. He immediately reached out a signature towards the two of them and laughed, ’’ Ten exchanges. If I can't send you two on the ten exchanges, it could be considered my loss! ’
’Hee hee, cocky once. Even the First Elder was present in this fight. Don't bite your tongue. ’’Lin Xiuya pointed to a certain part of the viewing gallery as he chuckled.
Xiao Yan's gaze followed the direction Lin Xiuya pointed at and looked up. He did see Su Qian and the Inner Academy Elders sitting and waiting at that place. They smiled while looking at the arena below.
” You colleagues ... are you all so free? ” Xiao Yan helplessly shook his head and turned to look at the two people. He spoke with a grin, ” However .. it was still ten steps. ’
Lin Xiuya and Liu Qing raised their eyebrows when they heard these words. They laugh immediately. Strong Dou Qi suddenly surged out from their bodies. Each of them took one step to the side. Although this seemed like a random move, it caused shock to radiate in Xiao Yan's eyes. With this standing position, these two people could simultaneously face the attacks the enemy had unleashed from any angle. When did the cooperation between the two reach such a great level?
’No wonder they dare to be this arrogant. They have some cards on their sleeves. ’’Xiao Yan smiled and shook his head. Dark-green Dou Qi seeped from every part of his body. After which, he dashed through his Qi Path in a torrent-like manner. A feeling of powerful energy filled every cell under Xiao Yan's skin.
The cheers of the people in the viewing gallery became louder as they experienced three powerful auras that suddenly surged out. The faces of many people flushed red from the excitement of witnessing the fierce competition.
” Are you ready? ” Xiao Yan faced the other two and gently asked.
’’ Chi! ’’
Lin Xiuya and Liu Qing used their actions to reply to Xiao Yan's question. The two figures trembled and turned into two faint lines that could not be separated. Finally, they turned into somewhat mysterious bows as they rushed towards Xiao Yan.
’’ Pretty good speed. ’’
Xiao Yan smiled as he glanced at the two blurry figures that rushed over. His body is not moving. A moment later, two winds suddenly reached him. The power of the arp carried an ear-piercing sound that tore through the air. One came from above and the other below as they attacked Xiao Yan.
The attacking position of Lin Xiuya and Liu Qing was rather difficult. With one above and one below, they attacked two places that Xiao Yan would have difficulty managing. If Xiao Yan only defended against one location, he would definitely be attacked from another place.
Under the focus of a countless number of gazes, the body of a statue like Xiao Yan suddenly trembled as the wind from both fists was about to reach him. Immediately, everyone was stunned as they saw two illusory legs floating to either side. The two illusory legs appeared to be like a substance as it would collide with Lin Xiuya and Liu Qing's fists and instantly emit an extremely frightening energy.
First exchange!
’’ Bang! ’’
” This person, his frightening speed and strength .. ” Liu Qing stabilized his body as thoughts flashed across his heart. The pores all over his body suddenly shrank. Immediately, a black line suddenly flashed in his eyes as if it was passing through a crack in space.
Liu Qing's reaction was also just as quick as when a black shadow appeared. His feet stepped forward and his tall and powerful figure quickly withdrew.
The black figure appeared and Xiao Yan smiled. His feet spread towards Liu Qing's withdrawal quickly. Immediately, an invisible wild suction force surged out. Liu Qing quickly pulled the body immediately slowing down under the ferocious wild suction force. However, without waiting for him to increase his strength to retreat, the suction force suddenly disappeared. A powerful thrust force quickly followed, shaking the figure until it moved back quickly. His feet also pulled a long scar on the ground.
Second exchange!
Dou Qi surged out from Liu Qing's body and eliminated the chest tightness caused by the suction force and convulsions. He turned his head and glanced at the boundary line, only two to three meters behind him. Some cold sweat involuntarily appeared on his forehead. He was almost thrown out of the boundary line.
’’ Now is not the time to rejoice. ’
A small laugh was suddenly contagious as soon as Liu Qing breathed a sigh of relief. A faint rumbling sound like rumbling rang out and a black figure appeared in front of Liu Qing in a manner that once again caused everyone to be dumbfounded.
’’ Great Rift Coffin Separating Claw! ’’
Liu Qing's expression sank upon seeing that/it was Xiao Yan about to approach him. His hand that was poking at Dou Qi suddenly extended. Dou Qi wrapped around his hand and painted it into something like a hand metal claw. It carried air fluctuations as it clawed strongly at Xiao Yan's chest.
Xiao Yan did not dodge as he looked at Liu Qing who had shown his best moves. His fingers widened in a strange way. After that, he flicked a few times. The air carried by the flicking finger was like an invisible cannonball that struck repeatedly against Liu Qing's hand claws, completely neutralizing the terrifying power it carried.
Third exchange!
The piercing pain was faintly transmitted from Liu Qing's hands as he continued to be attacked by the air that Xiao Yan flipped over. However, he did not show any intention to withdraw his palm and back off. He carried a ferocious aura and instantly pounced to the side of Xiao Yan's hand. His claws suddenly changed attitude as he elongated and firmly grabbed onto Xiao Yan's two hands.
”Do!”
Liu Qing suddenly let out a low rumbling sound after grabbing onto Xiao Yan's two hands.
The wind blew past Xiao Yan's back as Liu Qing's rumbling sound rang out. Lin Xiuya's body flashed and appeared. His hands clenched tightly as pale green blades revolved around them nonstop. Immediately, they became like sharp long spears that furiously smashed into Xiao Yan's back.
The sudden unexpected events within the arena caused a wave of calls to immediately appear in the viewing gallery. Now that Xiao Yan's hand was being bound, it was likely that/that he would have difficulty escaping Lin Xiuya's attack.
Lin Xiuya's knife-like hand would finally reach and heavily hit Xiao Yan's back in front of countless gazes. However, just as he was about to attack, his hand strangely passed through the inside of Xiao Yan's body.
”*Ribberance*..”
The strange scene caused an uproar to immediately appear throughout the arena.
” This guy really practiced ‘Three Thousand’ Lightning Movement that far ... ” Su Qian was surprised when he witnessed the strange sight below. He could not help but softly mutter softly.
The expressions of Liu Xiuya and Liu Qing changed drastically in a moment that/it was the offender's hand passing through Xiao Yan's body. Liu Qing was the one who was the least trusting. This was because he had clearly sensed that/it was Xiao Yan had indeed been completely restrained by him a moment before. However, Xiao Yan strangely disappeared a moment later.
’’ This is supposed to be the fifth exchange, right? ’
A somewhat cold hand involuntarily and silently pressed down on their chest and back while the expressions of the two underwent a drastic change. The faint iciness that was emitted caused all the pores in the bodies of the two people to suddenly open wide. If a power was emitted in this position, it seemed like Liu Qing and Lin Xiuya would at least be severely injured even if they did not die.
Lin Xiuya and Liu Qing's bodies instantly stiffened when their fatal points were restrained. Sweat was flowing wildly from their foreheads. That person's speed .. had already reached a frightening level.
’’ Bang! ’’
A gentle force suddenly erupted and shook Lin Xiuya and Liu Qing out of the arena. After which, their bodies pitifully rolled several times before stabilizing.
’’Is it finished?’ ’
The viewing gallery was completely silent. Only Xiao Yan's soft laughter sounded. Many people were unable to see what was really happening in this battle. However, the unusual speed of Xiao Yan where he had strangely appeared and disappeared in an instant caused everyone to secretly feel shocked.
The silence continued for a long time before it was finally broken by applause. After which, the thunderous applause that could move mountains and topple seas echoed like a bang!
Lin Xiuya and Liu Qing climbed up from the ground. They exchanged glances, smiled bitterly, and shook their heads. The distance is too big. There is basically not the slightest chance of comparison. They did not have the slightest chance of winning in front of such frightening speed.
’’This person ... is really too scary. Back then, I was still able to get out until we both lost with serious injuries. Now ... ’’ Liu Qing laughed bitterly.
Lin Xiuya's face was also filled with a bitter smile. Although Xiao Yan was amazing back then, he could only cause Lin Xiuya to see him a little seriously. Who would have thought that/it was in two to three years, Lin Xiuya himself had to look at her …
” No wonder even an amazing girl like Xun Er likes her .. From the looks of it now, she does have qualifications … ” Lin Xiuya sighed softly in his heart as he studied the young man on stage who displayed a warm smile.
