Chapter 104: The First Battle Against Da Dou Shi

  Xiao Yan surprisingly agreed to Master Yu Lin's condition, and the crowd couldn't help but cast some "admiring" glances at him.

  Although Xiao Yan's innate talent was extraordinary, the distance between him and Master Ruolin was like an unbridgeable chasm. The gap between a warrior and a great master couldn't be narrowed or made up for by relying solely on talent.

  Xiao Yu was also stunned by Xiao Yan's response, and after a moment, he let out a helpless sigh. This guy seemed to be the type who wouldn't turn back until he hit a wall.

  "It's cramped here, let's go outside."

  Xiao Yan smiled faintly, and Yu Lin led the way out of the tent, her full and delicate figure swaying as she walked, exuding a mature and enchanting charm.

  Xiao Yan rubbed his nose and nodded, following closely behind. The people inside the tent hesitated for a moment before rushing out in a flurry.

  At this time, the sunset had already fallen in the west, and the faint red afterglow covered the square with a thin layer of red carpet. The bluestone floor that had been baked all day also began to cool down gradually. Standing in the center of the square, you could still occasionally see the sparse crowd outside.

  A refreshing breeze swept through the square, making Xiao Yu and others who had just come out of their tents feel invigorated all over.

  Under the gaze of everyone, Xiao Yan walked into the arena and stood opposite the smiling Ruo Lin, saying in a dry tone: "Later, please spare my life, Master."

  Upon hearing this, Yu Lin's mentor's mouth corners rose with a gentle smile. Her slender hands slowly lifted up, and the green agate ring on her finger tip shone faintly. A blue long whip appeared, emitting an unusual glow, suddenly flashing out.

  The long whip was a deep blue color throughout, and on it were dense energy fluctuations. The handle of the whip was carved into a giant snake head, and inside the snake's mouth was a blue magic core that was about the size of a baby's fist. On the surface of the whip were some strange, mysterious markings that emitted a faint glow.

  Just by looking at the long whip's shape, one can tell that it is something in Yolyn's hands. It is a carefully crafted magic core weapon. Looking at the gentle energy contained within the weapon, this magic core weapon's attribute is surprisingly the same as Yolyn's. Using this weapon to fight will almost increase one's strength by about one or two levels.

  Facing Xiao Yan's dry smile, Master Yu Lin directly used her actions to prove to him: Wanting to easily get a year-long vacation from me? No way!

  Look at that beautiful woman standing not far in front of him, holding a long whip. Xiao Yan's mouth twitched and he immediately shook his head with a bitter smile.

  "Alright. Use whatever weapon you like."

  With a flick of her jade hand, Mu Lin took out a fine steel sword from her spatial ring. Her slender fingers tapped the hilt lightly, and the sword transformed into a black shadow that shot towards Xiao Yan at high speed.

  Looking at the iron sword flying towards him, Xiao Yan's body didn't move, allowing the iron sword to bring its momentum to sweep over.

  When the iron sword was only half a meter away from Xiao Yan's body, it suddenly stopped in front of him and fell down, slanting into the gap between two green stone slabs.

  He shrugged and drew out his iron sword, dancing it about clumsily. He had never learned any sword techniques or fighting skills, so wielding a sword was quite awkward for him.

  Xiao Yan's composure caused Duolun Master to raise an eyebrow, a hint of praise flashing in her beautiful eyes. At such a young age, he already has such great composure. Adding that to his innate talent, Duolun Master seemed to sense that the little guy in front of her might go very far, very far...

  "Shall we begin?"

  Ruo Lin's long whip in her hand swung casually onto the stone slab a few meters away from Xiao Yan, and the energy vapor contained within it instantly left a shallow water mark on the stone slab. She raised her pretty face and asked with a smile.

  "Uh-huh."

  He nodded slowly, and Xiao Yan's face gradually became serious. This was his first time fighting against a strong master of the Great Douluo, and although he had Medicine Master's secret assistance, facing such a strong opponent head-on also gave Xiao Yan considerable pressure in his heart.

  Looking at the arena that was about to start fighting, Xiao Yu's hands involuntarily clenched together, and the worry on her cheeks could not be concealed.

  "Hmph, arrogant guy, relying on a bit of talent to dare fight against Master Ruolin, a five-star Grandmaster. How audacious. Looking at Xiao Yu's tense and worried appearance, Luo Bu, who had initially restrained himself due to Xiao Yan's displayed talent, couldn't help but speak again under the drive of jealousy."

  "What did you say? Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu, who was originally in a state of anxiety and tension, suddenly raised her eyebrows and turned her head back with an angry expression, scolding."

  "Just being honest."

  The anger displayed by Xiao Yu, apart from making De Luo's head ache even more, seemed to have no other effect.

  "What qualifications do you have to comment on him? He dares to fight against the great Dou Shi, but do you dare? All day long, all you know is how to put on a hypocritical smile. But when real trouble comes, you're the first to shrink away. I, Xiao Yu, am most disgusted with men like you who are insincere and two-faced. You think you can make me like you? Not even in death!"

  Xiao Yu's face was icy cold, and she spoke in a chilly tone, her words laced with biting sarcasm, leaving the people around her stunned. How long had they known her? When had they ever seen Xiao Yu speak to someone like that before?

  His face turned pale and white, and after a moment, Luo Bu's eyes twitched away, his gaze fixed on the young man in the arena, with a flash of hidden venom in his pupils.

  The cold, mocking voices from outside did not disrupt the tense atmosphere of the battlefield. Xiao Yan's eyes were fixed intently on Master Yu Lin, his body trembling slightly as he knew that a great master's attack was far beyond what he had encountered before in terms of speed, power and combat experience. At this moment, he could only focus all his attention on staring at every slight movement of the opponent's body to discern their next move.

  Xiao Yan's eyes flickered slightly as he guarded himself fully, and Yu Lin smiled lightly, her slender hand raised high. The long whip in her hand shot out like a poisonous snake leaving its lair, sweeping across the air to leave behind a faint blue shadow that chopped down towards Xiao Yan vertically.

  The long whip swept through the air, and the slightly cool air suddenly became several degrees more humid.

  Looking at the long whip that was almost spanning over ten meters, Xiao Yan's pupils constricted, and he slowly exhaled. As the whip reached the top of his head, his body suddenly shifted slightly to the left.

  The long whip brought a strong gust of wind, stuck to Xiao Yan's clothes and split down, finally heavily smashing onto the stone slab, a water stain quickly appeared.

  Dodging Yu Lin's attack, Xiao Yan's face turned solemn, his foot stomped heavily on the ground, his body slightly arched, and then shot out like an arrow leaving a bowstring, charging violently towards Yu Lin.

  A distance of only a dozen meters or so, almost in the blink of an eye, yet just as Xiao Yan was about to enter the attack range, a strong aura suddenly came from behind him.

  His face changed slightly. Xiao Yan's body suddenly plunged down, a blue shadow, from behind his head, flew out horizontally.

  His body leaned forward, Xiao Yan's palm swung out fiercely towards the ground, and a powerful, invisible force heavily slammed onto the surface. Suddenly, a counterforce pushed Xiao Yan's body into mid-air.

  Man reached mid-air, Xiao Yan's body suddenly spun around, the iron sword in his hand, with the help of his spinning force, suddenly flew out and swung towards Master Ruolin.

  The iron sword tore through the sky, a black shadow bringing with it a sharp and fierce energy, like lightning.

  Gazing faintly at the iron sword that broke through the air, Master Yuelin's slender hand shook lightly, and the blue long whip in her hand suddenly turned back, finally entwining into a blue wall in mid-air like a spiritual being.

  "Clang!" The iron sword collided with the blue wall, instantly producing a crisp collision sound. Immediately after, it was shattered into pieces by the enormous counterforce.

  Looking at the broken sword that had been shattered into more than a dozen small iron pieces, Master Yu Lin's rosy little mouth curled up slightly. Just as she was about to continue her attack, her pretty face changed subtly.

  Only to see in the air that several broken small iron pieces. Suddenly, they were blown back by an invisible force, and the direction of the flying small iron pieces happened to be where Xiao Yan was.

  A small iron piece broke through the air with a sharp whistling sound, its power far surpassing that of the iron sword being swung earlier.

  A dozen or so small iron pieces, after flying halfway, were suddenly and violently propelled out of Xiao Yan's palm, covering the sky and earth. The dust on the ground also spread throughout the sky under Xiao Yan's blow.

  "Hiss, hiss, hiss!"

  Fierce thrust, easily dissolving the energy on the small iron pieces, then, a dozen or so small iron pieces suddenly turned around, with even more ferocious speed and strength, lightning-fast towards Master Ruolin.

  "The little guy really has some skills." Looking at Xiao Yan's ability as a Dou Zhe, he was actually able to perform the spatial absorption and ejection of objects that would normally require a Da Dou Shi. You Lin praised in surprise, then quickly formed a hand seal with her slender hands in front of her body, her internal Dou Qi rapidly circulating through specific meridians.

  "Relieve Force Water Mirror!"

  As Yu Lin's gentle voice fell, a large amount of pale blue fighting spirit suddenly burst out from the center of her palm, finally forming an elliptical blue water mirror in front of her.

  Unloading Force Mirror, a defensive martial skill that can only be mastered by those who have practiced water attribute Dou Qi. The level is not high, just a high-level yellow rank, but it is extremely practical. On the Dou Qi continent, many strong practitioners of water attribute Dou Qi can use their powerful Dou Qi to condense an extraordinary water mirror with unloading force effect.

  The water mirror is more than half a meter thick, and under the sunset's rays, it reflects red and blue light.

  "Plop, plop..." More than a dozen small iron pieces came crashing down onto the water's surface, piercing through it instantly. However, after entering the interior of the water mirror, they were quickly dissolved by the rapid current within.

  "...Clang..." Lost its powerful support, those small iron pieces detached from the water mirror and fell powerlessly onto the stone slab, making a crisp sound.

  Looking at the lightning-like confrontation in the arena, the onlookers outside were suddenly shocked and cast astonished glances at Xiao Yan. They did not expect that this guy would dare to launch an attack against a strong opponent of the Great Douluo level.

  Although the attack did not achieve much effect, Xiao Yan was not discouraged. He knew that if he hadn't relied on the clever use of "吸掌" and "吹火掌" in coordination, he would have fallen under the ghostly whip's attack long ago. His body, suspended in mid-air without a fulcrum, began to rapidly fall downwards. Just as Xiao Yan was only two or three meters away from the ground, the blue whip suddenly stuck close to the ground and coiled towards him like an upright poisonous snake.

  The right palm curled up and Xiao Yan aimed at the ground, taking a fierce suction, and his falling body suddenly landed on the ground.

  Taking advantage of the "absorbing palm" ability to narrowly escape, Xiao Yan's foot had just touched the ground when his toes suddenly stomped down, his body slightly arched, and he pounced forward again, finally entering his own most proficient attack range.

  Xiao Yan was not good at using weapons, he liked to use his fists to fight. In the instant of close combat, his fists, head, elbows, legs... every part of his body seemed to have become a deadly killer, as long as his speed was sufficient. He could then unleash a fierce and violent attack in an extremely short period of time, like a storm.

  Deceiving the body of Instructor Ruo Lin, Xiao Yan's face was solemn, his fists and legs flashing out like lightning, but every attack would be easily resolved by the opponent.

  "Shattered Heart Palm!"

  "Splitting Stone Kick!"

  "Heavy elbow strike!"

  It was a rare opportunity to launch a crazy attack, and Xiao Yan almost completely demonstrated the fighting skills he had learned. However, the effect obtained seemed to be minimal.

  In Xiao Yan's perception, the figure of You Lin in front of him was like a layer of slippery water film covering his body. Every time his attack landed on his body, it would be mysteriously slipped away, as if doing useless work.

  He attacked again, and his gaze happened to sweep across Yu Rou's eyes. Xiao Yan's body trembled slightly. He clearly saw a hint of mockery in those eyes.

  A sudden sense of foreboding rose in his mind, and just as Xiao Yan was about to move his feet, he was shocked to discover that a sticky force had emanated from the soles of his feet, gluing them firmly to the ground, rendering him immobile.

  Suddenly, the change made Xiao Yan's pupils shrink slightly. He raised his eyes and stared at Master Ruolin's face with a smile that was not quite a smile, and his mouth twitched. His body stopped moving, his fists clenched fiercely, and finally, carrying all the remaining Dou Qi in his body, he launched a fierce attack on Master Ruolin.

  "Eight Extremes Collapse!"

  As Xiao Yan's furious roar echoed in his heart, the veins on his fist bulged, and a faintly dark yellow aura covered his fist. With a sharp gust of wind, he fiercely attacked Master Yu Lin.

  Xiao Yan's sudden increase in attack power caused Mu Fengying to flash a hint of surprise in her eyes, her jade-like hands slightly spinning as a small vortex of energy appeared on her palm, which finally collided with Xiao Yan's fist.

  "Boom!"

  A deafening sound like a thunderclap exploded in the empty square, causing everyone to turn their heads in shock.

  The exchange of fists and palms lasted for an instant, and Yu Lin retreated a few steps back with a light smile on her face, looking at Xiao Yan and saying: "It seems that your vacation won't be happening after all."

  His body shook violently for a few times, and Xiao Yan finally managed to dissipate the force with a pale face. He lowered his head to look at the soles of his feet, only to discover that he had unknowingly stepped into the water sphere created by the blue long whip...

  "No wonder she didn't fight back no matter how I attacked her just now, it turns out she was luring me into the trap she had set up..." As soon as he thought of the previous scene, Xiao Yan suddenly understood the intentions of You Lin, and realized that she had been trying to restrict his proud speed.

  "This woman isn't a simpleton...!" With great effort, he lifted his foot, but how could Xiao Yan's current strength possibly escape the trap carefully laid by a Great Dou Master?

  "Hehe, Xiao Yan, it's all over now, the final round!"

  Smiling brightly, she gazed at Xiao Yan's rapidly changing facial expression. Yu Lin, the instructor, smiled softly and reached out with her slender hand, wrapping a blue long whip around her slender jade arm.

  Her palm tightly grasped the blue long whip handle where a giant snake's mouth was, and with Instructor Yu Lin's red lips slightly raised, a deep blue strong and fierce fighting spirit suddenly poured into the long whip, and then burst out.

  A massive blue energy, like a fountain, churned restlessly in mid-air. In an instant, it condensed into a gigantic water snake about three to four meters long. The water snake let out a silent roar towards the sky, and huge water droplets fell from its body, soaking the ground thoroughly.

  After the roar, the water snake, under the control of Master Ruolin, with a somewhat terrifying momentum, pounced on Xiao Yan, who was already unable to move.

  The crowd watching in a circle let out a sudden cry of surprise as they gazed at the huge water snake hovering in mid-air.

  "Mystic Step Intermediate Fighting Technique: Water Mandala?"

  "Heavens, the mentor has actually brought out this move. It seems that Xiao Yan is in for a world of hurt this time." Xue Ni shook her head in amazement and immediately cast a sympathetic glance at Xiao Yan, who was immobilized on the spot.

  "The mentor is trying to intimidate that guy, with his arrogant personality, if he doesn't get a good scare, it's likely that the mentor will have a hard time managing him in the future." Xiao Yu sighed helplessly, she had seen through Director Ruo Lin's intentions at a glance.

  Although Yu Lin used a mid-level Dou technique from the Mystic Realm, Xiao Yu was not too worried. She knew that Yu Lin would not really hurt Xiao Yan, otherwise, with her strength to display "Water Mandala", how could there be only this little momentum?

  At the beginning, in the college, Xiao Yu had once been fortunate enough to see Master Ruolin use "Water Mandala" with all his might. At that time, the water snake condensed by the fighting energy was as long as seven or eight meters, far beyond this miniaturized version now.

  Luobu gazed coldly at Xiao Yan, who was in a predicament, and the corner of his mouth curled up with a cold smile, silently cursing him to die under Youlin's attack.

  In the arena, a gigantic water snake dived down towards Xiao Yan, its massive air pressure pressing his clothes tightly against his body.

  The powerful aura that came from the top of her head made Xiao Yan involuntarily sigh, the strength of Da Dou Shi was indeed terrifying. At this moment, she probably hadn't even revealed half of her true power, while he had already reached the end of his rope.

  Slowly lifting his head, Xiao Yan gazed at the enormous water snake that appeared somewhat ferocious under the lingering sunset glow. His eyes gradually closed, and with a bitter smile, he softly said: "Alas, Medicine Elder, make your move. The Great Dou Shi is indeed not someone I can contend against at this time."

  "Heh heh, little guy, you finally know your current strength. In the eyes of a true strongman, it's actually nothing, right? The path of the strong, you've only just taken the first step!" A faintly aged voice slowly echoed in Xiao Yan's heart.

  "It's indeed very strong."

  Xiao Yan nodded, his fists clenched tightly, and his narrowed eyes stared through the transparent water snake at the smiling gentle beauty in the distance: "But I believe that one day, I will become stronger than her!"

  "Boom!"

  The massive water snake finally arrived above his head, and with a final loud crash, it slammed down onto Xiao Yan's body. Instantly, the earth shook violently, and water splashed up into the sky.

  Looking at the place that was almost obscured from view by the water curtain, Yu Lin smiled slightly and launched an attack with a force she controlled, enough to make Xiao Yan lose consciousness.

  "Yu'er, bring him out, let his body soak in the water for a long time, it's not good for his..." Yu Lin instructor turned her head and said softly to Xiao Yu, but before she finished speaking, her pretty face suddenly changed, slowly turning back, her beautiful eyes staring tightly at the scene shrouded in mist. The faint mist filled the small square, light footsteps suddenly echoed in the fog, a young man's tall figure slowly emerged, finally stopping in the middle of the square, looking at Yu Lin instructor's shocked face, the young man scratched his head and smiled: "Yu Lin instructor, sorry, it seems that this year's vacation can't be escaped..."

  Looking at the young man with a smile on his face standing in the mist, everyone's faces were shocked!
