76: You have the Yunlan Sect, and I have Big Brother!

Chapter 76: You Have the Yun Lan Sect, I Have My Big Brother!

Mittel Tengshan was extremely excited to see Hai Bodong.

Elder Jia, who was beside him, understood. After all, if the Mittel Family hadn't been supported by the Ice Emperor, they wouldn't have had the chance to become one of the three great families of the Gama Empire today.

The two met and exchanged pleasantries.

At this moment, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li also landed on the nearby tree canopy, riding flying magical beasts.

Seeing the gazes directed at them, the two nodded somewhat reservedly.

Especially after Hai Bodong briefly mentioned the identities of Elder Jia and the others, they became even more reserved.

Because each of these individuals was a renowned figure, whom they usually only heard about, and they hadn't expected to have the opportunity to meet them today.

When asked how he appeared, Hai Bodong briefly explained his dealings with Xiao Yan.

Afterward, everyone's gaze turned to Xiao Yan, who had landed on the plaza.

Nalan Yanran opened her eyes, her gaze following Xiao Yan's descending figure, and she stood up.

“I truly never thought you would actually have the courage to come to the Yun Lan Sect.” Nalan Yanran's gaze was somewhat complex. Three years ago, the difference in their statuses could truly be described as heaven and earth.

Xiao Yan said with a straight face, “Yes, actually, I should thank you. Without your appearance, I truly wouldn't have known I possessed such great potential.”

Listening to the barbs in Xiao Yan's words, Nalan Yanran's expression remained unchanged as she said indifferently, “Fight. Let me see just how capable you are to have caught the eye of a Dou Emperor.”

Even today, Nalan Yanran still couldn't understand how a useless person who couldn't break through the third stage of Dou Qi for three years could be associated with a Dou Emperor.

And they even addressed each other as brothers?!

Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river; do not bully a young man for being poor… As Soul Cang's words from back then echoed in her mind, Nalan Yanran's jade hand suddenly clenched.

She had been chosen by the Yun Lan Sect Master and taken as a direct disciple.

Could she really be overturned by a mere “genius” from a small Wutan City family?

Nalan Yanran was amused by her own thought.

Great Elder Yun Ling walked between the two, stating the rules of the duel: a decisive victory was sufficient, and intentional harm was forbidden.

After a few brief words, Yun Ling left the stage to the two young people.

“Xiao Family, Xiao Yan!”

After cupping his hands, Xiao Yan grabbed the robe on his body, forcefully tore it off, and then drew the xuan heavy ruler from his back.

“Nalan Family, Nalan Yanran!”

Across from him, Nalan Yanran's expression was indifferent. A flash of light gleamed from the ring on her hand, and as her jade fingers clenched again, a long sword had appeared in her palm.

The next second, both of them charged at each other, unleashing fierce offensives.

Nalan Yanran herself was of the wind attribute, and the cultivation technique she practiced greatly enhanced her speed. Her movements were swift and agile, and her attack angles were extremely tricky.

Upon initial contact, Xiao Yan immediately fell into a disadvantage, rotating the xuan heavy ruler in his hand, using its broad body to block.

Clang, clang, clang!

The crisp sound of clashing metal suddenly echoed across the quiet plaza.

“Such speed, yet he can defend flawlessly. This level of combat experience, appearing at his age, is simply incredible,” Mu Chen exclaimed.

Even in the army, constantly undergoing various combat drills, it would take at least several years and the tempering of battlefields to achieve such an effect.

However, Mu Chen then changed his tone: “But, being suppressed continuously, he will eventually lose.”

Hai Bodong heard this and said indifferently, “That’s not necessarily true. This kid Xiao Yan hasn’t even used half of his strength.”

As he spoke, everyone except the Xiao Family brothers—Elder Jia, Fa Ma, and the others—turned their gaze.

The strength Xiao Yan displayed now was already that of a three-star Great Dou Shi.

In this situation, he had only used half of his strength?

Didn't that mean Xiao Yan's true strength was at least a six-star, seven-star, or even a nine-star Great Dou Shi?

Elder Jia's heart tightened, somewhat disbelieving. Because Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan were similar in age, and Nalan Yanran had the Yun Lan Sect behind her, her current strength was only a four-star Great Dou Shi.

Xiao Yan, coming from a small Wutan City, how could he possibly surpass Nalan Yanran in cultivation resources?

Fa Ma didn't speak, but the doubt in his eyes showed a similar thought to Elder Jia's.

The strength Xiao Yan displayed now was already that of an outstanding genius among the younger generation in the Imperial Capital. If he was still hiding his strength,

Then wouldn't these young talents in the Imperial Capital be just like ordinary people on the street?

In the arena, the battle did not stop. Xiao Yan seized an opportunity, delivering a horizontal slash that sent Nalan Yanran flying.

Xiao Yan pointed the tip of his ruler diagonally at the ground, his chin raised: “Nalan Yanran, if you have any abilities, use them quickly, otherwise, you won't have a chance later!”

“Arrogant!” Nalan Yanran cried out, tapping her toe on the ground, and with sword in hand, she once again swept towards Xiao Yan.

Facing this, Dou Qi surged around Xiao Yan, manifesting as a pale purple flame armor on his body, covering him completely. He attacked without dodging or evading.

“How is this possible?!”

“He’s a nine-star Great Dou Shi?!”

“Fake, it must be fake!”

The Yun Lan Sect disciples watching the battle were stunned, looking at the Dou Qi armor on Xiao Yan’s body, uttering unbelievable sounds.

The elders, who had been sitting and watching, all stood up, their expressions moved.

Great Elder Yun Ling's eyes widened, and he even rubbed them in disbelief.

Above the tree canopy, Elder Jia, Fa Ma, and the others also showed great changes in their expressions.

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, seeing this, couldn't help but puff out their chests.

This was their third brother!

But soon, both of them slumped, because they knew very well that their third brother's current strength was inextricably linked to Lord Cang King.

With a sword thrust, Nalan Yanran couldn't even pierce through the Dou Qi armor on Xiao Yan's body and was sent flying out again.

She crashed to the ground, her pretty face filled with an astonished expression.

“You’re a nine-star Great Dou Shi?!” Nalan Yanran's voice trembled as she asked.

Since returning from Wutan City, she had never relaxed her cultivation. In this situation, not only had she been caught up by a guy who was at the third stage of Dou Qi, but he had even surpassed her?

Xiao Yan took in Nalan Yanran's reaction, not pursuing, and stood in place somewhat smugly.

Little brat, you dared to look down on me. Now you’re dumbfounded, aren't you?

When you're out in the world, it's not just about talent; it's also about background and connections.

I have my Big Brother, how could I not beat you?

Speaking of which, where is Big Brother? Xiao Yan suddenly thought of a question, his gaze sweeping around. When he saw the figure behind his Big Brother and Second Brother, an excited expression appeared on his face.

Big Brother really came!

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li hadn't yet noticed the change beside them. Seeing Nalan Yanran stand up and launch another fierce attack, they gesticulated wildly and shouted warnings.

Xiao Yan also sensed the force behind him. He turned around, his gaze meeting Nalan Yanran, who was airborne, a wind swirling around the long sword in her hand.

“The Sect Master even taught her that move? The problem is, can the Young Sect Master's current strength even use it? That's a Dou Skill that surpasses the Xuan rank!” Yun Ling exclaimed in surprise, having recognized Nalan Yanran's intention.

Xiao Yan heard his exclamation, a hint of disdain in his eyes: “Isn't it just a Earth-rank Dou Skill? As if no one else has one?!”
