Fighting: Practice makes it real, start with a poisonous body.

Chapter 33: Wind and Fire originally complement each other, but a contract turns into enmity
Everyone stared intently at the actions of the two people on the field. Who on earth was this Xiao Yan and why did Su Yun value him so highly?
In an instant, the two men moved.

Two afterimages, one white and one black, suddenly rose up, and the long sword and the heavy ruler collided with each other, causing intense sparks to burst out.

“Clang, clang, clang—!”

Nalan Yanran groaned. The huge force of the heavy ruler made her palm numb and the sword almost slipped out of her hand. There was an unconcealable surprise in her eyes.

"If this is all you have, then this competition ends here."

A trace of disappointment appeared on Xiao Yan's face.

He had imagined countless times how he would feel after suppressing Nalan Yan: joy, satisfaction, the pleasure of revenge... but he had never imagined disappointment.

Xiao Yan had already witnessed Nalan Yanran's strength at the banquet. Perhaps at that time, the mountain that once seemed insurmountable had become a somewhat annoying stumbling block in his eyes.

After removing the stumbling block, he must look further ahead...

Xiao Yan's strength burst out again, knocking Nalan Yanran away.

"boom--!"

Nalan Yanran took several steps back before she managed to steady herself, the sword still vibrating.

"who are you?"

Nalan Yanran was horrified. Xiao Yan's strength was beyond her imagination, but more importantly, Xiao Yan's power-generating technique was clearly...

"Who am I? You must already have the answer, so why ask me?"

Xiao Yan's expression became calm, his heart knot was untied, and his body also relaxed a lot.

"impossible!"

Nalan Yanran bit her teeth lightly, gathered the strong wind in her palm, and turned it into a small green tornado that attacked Xiao Yan.

"Qianfeng Gang!"

"Baji collapsed."

Xiao Yan only needed to elbow the tornado with such powerful force that it shattered it.

"Eight Extreme Collapse, isn't that Rock Owl's fighting technique?"

"Yes, that day at the Nalan family banquet, Yan Xiao used this move to force Miss Xian'er to use her fighting skills to respond. It can't be fake."

"Yanxiao, Xiao Yan...I see!"

"..."

Everyone on the platform was discussing the matter, and a smart person even pointed out the relationship between the two.

"Nalan Yanran, back then you relied on your talent and the power of the Yunlan Sect to embarrass your father in front of the Xiao family.

Today, I will defeat you fairly in Yunlan Sect, and I will not care about the face of the Yunlan Sect's Young Sect Master.

Don’t despise the poor young man… What others may see as youthful and frivolous talk, I will turn into reality.”

"I haven't lost yet!"

A hint of anger appeared on Nalan Yanran's face.

"Yeah."

Xiao Yan's expression remained unchanged, he just released all the Dou Qi in his body, and the khaki Dou Qi fire armor covered his entire body.

"Big Fighter!"

"At the Nalan family banquet, he was only a high-level fighting master!"

Everyone was stunned.

Fa Ma stroked his beard, "He refined the Three-Striped Green Spirit Pill at the tournament and used it to win the championship... Afterwards, he consumed it and broke through to the Grand Fighter Master level, so it's not surprising."

Su Yun stared at the two people on the field. Without the purple spirit crystal, Nalan Yanran would never be able to compete with Xiao Yan.

"boom--!"

At the beginning of the second round, the two men turned into afterimages again and fought each other.

Just as everyone had thought before, the situation was one-sided, but the victory did not go to Nalan Yanran, but to Xiao Yan!

After only a few clashes, Nalan Yanran was already powerless to withstand Xiao Yan's fierce attacks. "How could this be!"

Yun Leng looked anxious. If the young sect leader lost to Xiao Yan, it would be a loss of reputation for the Yunlan Sect.

What's more, in order to build momentum for Nalan Yanran, he invited all the important people in the imperial capital.

I'm afraid that within a day, the news that the young master of the Yunlan Sect lost to a young man from a small border town will spread throughout the entire imperial capital.

This is absolutely unacceptable!
"Yanran..."

Yun Yun sighed softly. With her keen eyesight, she could see that Nalan Yanran's defeat was only a matter of time, and her struggle now was futile.

She was also responsible for what happened back then. Perhaps she shouldn't have let Nalan Yanran go to the Xiao family.

"Baji collapse!"

Xiao Yan shouted softly, and suddenly exerted force with his fists and elbows. A fierce force burst out, and Nalan Yanran flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, and hit the stone pillar of the martial arts field heavily.
The stone pillars trembled and broken stones fell. Nalan Yanran knelt on one knee, supporting her body with the cloud-patterned sword.

She smiled bleakly, with blood on the corners of her mouth. "Eight Extreme Collapse, there is also a method of dark energy explosion, right? Why don't you use it? Are you feeling sorry for me?"

"Why bother unleashing your hidden energy? You've already lost."

Xiao Yan shook his head. He no longer needed the "Flame-Splitting Wave Ruler" that he had carefully prepared for Nalan Yanran. He was quite bored after winning so easily.

Xiao Yan took out a marriage certificate from his storage ring, and with flames in his palm, he burned it, and the ashes flew away in the wind.

Wind and fire originally help each other, but they become enemies after a while.

"From now on, you and I are free."

Nalan Yanran had a complicated expression.

Xiao Yan lowered his eyes as the ochre-colored flames in his palms surged, surging like angry dragons, causing the void to twist and tremble.

Why does strange fire need the help of wind?

"Everyone, the show is over. Let's go back to our homes."

Xiao Yan collected his thoughts and bowed towards Su Yun's seat. Everyone was sitting together, so they just thought he was bowing to everyone.

Xiao Yan casually put the Xuanzhong ruler on his back and walked out of the martial arts arena.

"Wait, Xiao Yan, you can't leave yet."

Yun Ling looked gloomy, and he dodged and stopped Xiao Yan.

The thing I was most worried about finally happened...

Xiao Yan said to himself, but he was not nervous.

If the Yunlan Sect dared to force him to stay, its fate would probably not be much better than that of the royal family.

"Grand Elder of the Yunlan Sect, do you have any advice?"

Yun Leng said in a deep voice, "I suspect you cheated in the competition and used a power that didn't belong to you to defeat Yanran. You need to cooperate with the Yunlan Sect's investigation!"

On the high platform, Su Yun was almost amused by this sentence.

Xiao Yan did have a power that did not belong to him, and that was the Heavenly Grade Advanced Fighting Skill "Ghost Possessed". Yun Leng almost revealed Yao Lao's existence by accident.

Xiao Yan was also startled, but then he remembered that he had not asked the teacher for help at all, so he calmed down.

He said coldly, "This is the attitude of the Yunlan Sect. Can't they afford to lose?"

Yun Ling said firmly: "Please cooperate with the investigation!"

Yun Yun frowned slightly, she knew what Yun Leng was thinking.

The Great Elder is an elder of the sect and attaches great importance to the honor of the sect. However, for things like this, Yanran can just work hard and win it back in the future.

Why resort to such despicable means?
"Great Elder, please come back. There is no need to worry about the loss of face for the sect.

Three years ago, I supported Yanran in breaking off the engagement with the Xiao family, which humiliated the Xiao family. Three years later, Xiao Yan came to the Yunlan Sect and humiliated them. This can be considered as Yunlan Sect repaying the Xiao family..."

"Master, how can these two be compared?"

Yun Leng angrily said: "The Xiao family is just a small tribe on the border. It's no big deal if they lose face!
But my Yunlan Sect has been passed down for nine generations, and the reputation accumulated over generations is much more important than that of the Xiao family!"
