Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, the skeletal phantoms surrounding Yueyao gradually merged together as the light emanating from their bodies intensified.

As these skeletal phantoms merged, the energy fluctuations around Yueyao grew increasingly vast.

"Ok?"

Sensing Yueyao's aura, a red light flashed in Hunfeng's eyes, and he grinned, "Preparing to decide the outcome with one strike?"

Hunfeng looked at the merging phantoms around Yueyao and smiled, as if he had found a new toy. He said, "It's been a long time since I've met such an interesting person. In that case, I'll grant your wish."

As soon as he finished speaking, the blood energy on Hunfeng's body became even more concentrated, enveloping his body.

Immediately, Hun Feng slowly flew towards the blood-red phantom behind him, eventually merging into it, his fighting spirit continuously pouring into the phantom.

"Is it time to decide the winner...?"

Among the spectators, many were taken aback by the sudden surge of energy emanating from Yueyao and Hunfeng. A glint of light flashed in their eyes as they intently watched Yueyao and Hunfeng on the competition stage.

As the two began to fight, a vast and desolate aura emerged from the skeletal figures surrounding Yue Yao on the arena. In the end, the skeletal phantoms that had been guarding Yue Yao all merged together, transforming into a skeletal battle shadow several meters in size, riding a ferocious demonic beast.

The white-boned warrior held an enormous battle blade in his hand, emanating a sharp aura.

On the other side, the blood-red phantom formed by the fusion of soul winds also gleamed with a faint crimson light on its claws, and the bloody aura continued to spread, its bloodlust seemingly affecting everyone's sanity.

"High-level Earth-rank combat skill..."

Seeing how the surrounding天地能量 (heaven and earth energy) was affected by the two's actions, and witnessing the terrifying aura emanating from them, a member of the surrounding races slowly spoke up.

High-level Earth-rank combat skills can be considered the pinnacle of combat skills on the Dou Qi Continent.

After all, above Earth-rank combat skills, there are only Heaven-rank combat skills.

Even within ancient races, Heavenly Rank combat techniques are only accessible to core disciples; not everyone is qualified to learn them.

The rarity of Heavenly Rank combat skills is thus evident.

However, no one believed that Yueyao and Hunfeng would be unqualified to engage in Heaven-Rank combat techniques.

One is the young patriarch of the Soul Clan, who possesses all the resources of the Soul Clan and has countless trump cards. He is absolutely qualified to learn the Heaven-Rank Battle Technique Soul Wind, and has even begun to learn it.

The same goes for Yueyao. As the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Clan, although the Spirit Clan is the weakest of the eight ancient clans, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how weak it is, it is still one of the eight ancient clans. Any one of its resources can cause a bloodbath in the Central Plains.

Given Yueyao's status, the Spirit Clan would never withhold resources from her.

Just like the "Chasing the Moon" technique that she displayed before, it was a Heaven-Rank combat skill created by the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Clan, and the power that must be mastered.

However, the fact that neither of them used Heaven-Rank Battle Techniques in the current battle was within everyone's expectations.

In combat, higher levels don't necessarily mean greater power. Besides level, it also depends on the user's skill level and mastery of the technique.

With Yueyao and Hunfeng's current strength at the Dou Zun realm, even if they had truly cultivated a Heaven-rank Dou Technique, they would only have grasped a superficial understanding. It would be impossible for them to truly unleash the power of a Heaven-rank Dou Technique.

Moreover, Heaven-rank and Earth-rank combat skills have undergone fundamental changes, and the energy required is now extremely terrifying.

With their current level of cultivation, if they were to use a Heaven-rank combat skill, it would probably consume all the combat energy in their bodies after just one use, leaving them in a weakened state.

Therefore, using the Earth-rank combat techniques that one has already mastered is actually the wisest choice.

Finally, amidst everyone's expectant gazes, the skeletal battle shadow behind Yueyao solidified, the battle blade in its hand radiating dazzling light as it slashed towards Hunfeng.

"call out!"

At the same time, the bloody figure formed from the soul wind nodded slightly, its claws radiating crimson light, and tore forward.

In the blink of an eye, their attacks collided, and an immense force erupted from the center of their attack, spreading outwards.

"hiss!"

Sensing the energy of the two fighting, many powerful figures from various clans were dumbfounded. With such strength, even if they were to take action, they probably wouldn't be able to escape unscathed.

Have the younger generation of the Soul Clan and the Spirit Clan really grown to this level?

For a moment, everyone was somewhat dazed, and at the same time, they focused their attention on Xun'er's figure sitting upright on the ancient clan's high platform.

The Ancient Clan, which has always been at odds with the Soul Clan, has two disciples, Gu Xun'er and Hun Feng, who are both hailed as the most talented disciples in their clan. Given Hun Feng's formidable strength, Gu Xun'er's strength is probably not much weaker.

In an instant, the eyes of the Stone Clan, Thunder Clan, Flame Clan, and Medicine Clan all fell upon the Spirit Clan.

"The Holy Maiden of the Spirit Clan... is truly terrifying..."

Watching the aftershocks of the battle on the arena, everyone took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

No one expected that the Spirit Clan, which had always maintained a low profile, would produce a disciple with such terrifying talent in this generation. The only question is, what kind of bloodline does this Holy Maiden possess...?

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, each with their own thoughts, the battle between Yueyao and Hunfeng on the arena finally came to a complete end.

As the aftershocks of the battle subsided and the energy completely disappeared, the situation on the arena came into view.

Yueyao stood quietly in the corner of the arena, her face unusually pale. Her hair, which had been tied back, was now hanging down her back. Her aura was extremely chaotic, and the knuckles of her fingers gripping the bone spear were prominent, indicating that she was exerting tremendous force.

On the other side of the arena, Hunfeng's condition wasn't much better.

At this moment, Hunfeng was also panting heavily, his whole being both violent and extremely excited. He stared at Yueyao with a covetous look in his eyes, revealing an extremely strange smile.

Yueyao paid no attention to Hunfeng's expression, her eyes indifferent, but beneath that indifference lay an extremely strong killing intent as she stared intently at Hunfeng.

"Alright, let's call this a draw."

Just as Yueyao and Hunfeng were staring at each other, and the scene seemed about to spiral out of control again, "Grandma" appeared in the center of the arena. She gently tapped the ground with her cane, and the arena, which had been damaged by the two's battle, gradually returned to its original state under a burst of light.

Immediately, "Grandma" cupped her hands in a kind gesture towards the people of the clan and said in a light voice, "Hehe, everyone, the ceremony for the investiture of the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Clan is now over. If you don't mind, you can stay in the Spirit Realm as guests."

"If you all have other matters to attend to, I will not detain you any longer. Please proceed as you wish..."

As the old woman finished speaking, the spirit guards who had been standing around the square let out a roar, and the phantoms of the strange beasts beside them merged into their bodies, then they retreated and dispersed in an orderly fashion.

The mother-in-law took a step and disappeared completely, along with Yueyao, who had remained silent ever since she appeared.

"Hahaha."

"Hahahahahaha."

"Hahahaha... Spirit Clan... Yueyao... Han Ling, how amusing, hahahaha!"

On the dueling platform, Hunfeng watched Yueyao disappear, a strange smile gradually widening at the corner of his mouth, until finally, he let out a maniacal laugh on the platform.

Chapter 93 Cave

With the conclusion of the Spirit Clan's investiture ceremony, most people left the Spirit Realm.

After all, everyone came for the grand ceremony, and now that the ceremony is over, they naturally have no intention of staying.

However, before leaving, the Thunder Clan, Flame Clan, Medicine Clan, and Stone Clan exchanged a glance and finally nodded almost imperceptibly.

Among the eight ancient clans, the Soul, Ancient, and Xiao clans are the strongest. The other five clans have always banded together for mutual support. Now that the Spirit Clan has produced a prodigy like Yue Yao, who is capable of fighting the young patriarch of the Soul Clan, the clans naturally have their own thoughts.

However, no matter what happens, the four races will never abandon the Spirit Race.

After all, no matter how talented Yueyao is, the strength of the high-level members of these five clans can never compare to that of the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan.

A gifted disciple can't change anything among these ancient races. Without the strength to fight and protect himself, everything is just a castle in the air.

"Miss, we should go back now..."

On the high platform where the ancient clan was located, Gu Su looked at Xun'er, who was still sitting upright, and at the other clans who had already gotten up and left. He carefully spoke to Xun'er, pulling her thoughts back.

As for why Xun'er was lost in thought, Gu Su and Gu Zhe wisely refrained from asking further questions and stood behind Xun'er like statues.

Upon hearing Gu Su's words, Xun'er's eyes shifted slightly, landing once again on the competition platform in the center of the square. Her brows furrowed slightly, and then a hint of doubt flashed across her face before she nodded gently.

"Let's go."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xun'er turned and left. After the ceremony, Yueyao would probably still have to deal with internal matters of the Spirit Clan, so now was not the time to meet.

"It seems I'll need to find out more about the Spirit Race when I get back..."

Xun'er recalled the situation on the stage just now, golden flames spreading in her eyes, a trace of confusion and worry flashing across her face, and a bad premonition rising in her heart.

"Senior brother, are you sure this isn't a scam?"

In a scenic valley in Zhongzhou, Xiao Fan and Zi Yan lay comfortably in chairs, basking in the sun. In front of them, Xiao Yan, with a strange expression, was shirtless and holding a shovel, digging at the soil in front of his disciple.

Soon, Xiao Yan dug down several meters deep, looking at the Myriad Flames Diagram at his feet with a puzzled expression.

After the three parted ways with Xinlan, Xiao Fan took Xiao Yan and embarked on a journey to find the Strange Flame!

Previously, Xiao Fan had never used the Myriad Fire Diagram because he knew about the Tortoise Spirit Earth Fire. After subduing the Tortoise Spirit Earth Fire...

They went straight back to Canaan Academy. Knowing that there was a second Fallen Heart Flame underground at Canaan Academy, Xiao Fan naturally did not let Xiao Yan use the Myriad Flames Chart. It was only after setting foot in the Central Continent that Xiao Fan used the Myriad Flames Chart for the first time.

Following the guidance of the Myriad Fire Diagram, the three arrived at this valley.

"The Myriad Flames Chart is infallible; there must be unclaimed flames here. However, whether they are extraordinary flames... that's probably up to our luck..."

Xiao Fan tossed a vermilion fruit into his mouth, then mumbled something to Xiao Yan.

However, in Xiao Fan's mind, the probability of a strange fire appearing here was too small.

After all, the valley has a beautiful environment, but the spiritual energy is average compared to other places, and the surrounding temperature is not abnormal, so it does not meet the conditions for the birth of a strange fire.

Therefore, Xiao Fan guessed that there might be at most an unclaimed soul fire or some other flame here, since strange fires are not so easy to obtain.

Watching Xiao Fan's actions, Zi Yan imitated him, throwing a fruit into the air, opening her mouth wide, and then hitting herself on the forehead. Watching the fruit bounce and fall to the ground, Zi Yan slightly pursed her lips, then reached out and caught it. A wisp of spatial power flickered where the fruit was about to fall, and it finally landed in Zi Yan's mouth.

The outbreak of the spatial storm not only allowed Xiao Fan to take his understanding of spatial power to a new level, but also allowed Zi Yan to comprehend a deeper level of spatial power.

Zi Yan, whose true form is the Ancient Void Dragon, is naturally sensitive to space. Various restrictions are practically useless to her. Whether it was due to her experience in the spatial passage or her return to Zhongzhou that unlocked Zi Yan's talent, her strength has changed drastically, and her understanding of spatial power has reached a new level.
