"Then let's begin!"

Liu Qing heard Xiao Yan's words and his expression turned icy cold. A powerful whirlwind of Dou Qi formed around him as soon as he finished speaking. The terrifying aura caused the audience to momentarily hold their breath.

"So strong!"

"A peak Dou Spirit? No, this has already reached the half-step Dou King!"

"He already possesses the might of a Dou King! Although there's still some distance to becoming a true Dou King, with such profound Dou Qi and imposing presence, even actual Dou Kings might find themselves lacking in comparison." The elders on the judges' platform couldn't help but be moved as they murmured among themselves, seeing Liu Qing's astonishing Dou Qi and aura.

Xiao Yan smiled slightly and asked, "You're not using your weapon?"

"The Mountain Splitting Spear is only used against opponents who are worthy. I hope you'll qualify for that soon," Liu Qing replied coldly.

Xiao Yan merely smiled. Whatever you say.

The First Elder saw that both sides were ready and shouted, "Both sides, prepare. The match begins!"

The voice of the First Elder had just faded away when Liu Qing swung his hand violently toward Xiao Yan. His five fingers formed into a claw, and a massive golden energy claw materialized out of thin air. Wherever the energy claw passed, cracks appeared on the ground.

"That's Liu Qing's signature Dou Technique, the Intermediate Xuan Class 'Golden Demon Claw'!"

"So powerful! As expected of a Dou Technique cultivated to the major level!"

Xiao Yan's expression remained as calm as still water when faced with this terrifying golden claw several meters high, but inwardly, he couldn't help but give some praise. From this Dou Technique alone, one could see that Liu Qing had put intense effort into cultivating his techniques.

"If that's the case, then I should give you appropriate respect."

The Dou Qi within Xiao Yan's body circulated wildly. A blood-red flame instantly enveloped his entire body as he shouted in his heart, 'Mad Lion Chant!'

A thunderous boom rang out as Liu Qing's Golden Demon Claw collided with a crimson lion's head. With a furious roar, the blood-colored lion shattered the golden giant claw with a single swipe.

Xiao Yan slowly raised his gaze, looking at Liu Qing, whose body was covered in golden Dou Qi. Suddenly, he shot toward Liu Qing with an unstoppable and ferocious momentum amidst countless heated gazes!

The distance of several dozen meters was crossed in the blink of an eye. On the stage, the two instantly closed in on each other. Their eyes met, and the suppressed battle intent finally erupted and boiled over.

Xiao Yan did not use any Dou Techniques. His fist, enveloped in Heavenly Flame, smashed toward Liu Qing. Liu Qing sidestepped to dodge and countered with a punch. Xiao Yan tilted his head to avoid it, relying on his powerful Spiritual Strength. He then grabbed Liu Qing's arm with both hands, twisted his body suddenly, stomped one foot on the ground causing rubble to fly, and used his strength to throw the sturdy Liu Qing away.

Liu Qing spun in midair, his feet skidding across the ground with a hissing sound, carving two deep marks before coming to a stop.

But how could Xiao Yan give Liu Qing a chance to catch his breath? His right foot stomped on the ground, and with a terrifying burst of physical strength, he transformed into a crimson shadow charging toward Liu Qing.

Although Liu Qing had studied close combat and understood it better than Xiao Yan, the latter's Spiritual Strength far surpassed the former's, his perception was more outstanding, and coupled with the fact that he had used the genuine Core Quenching Body Milk, his physical strength was terrifyingly powerful.

"Am I seeing things? Liu Qing is actually being suppressed in close combat!" Yan Hao rubbed his eyes. Being in the same cohort as Liu Qing, he knew that Liu Qing's burly physique wasn't just for show.

Liu Qing's physical body was second only to Zi Yan's. Back when he lost to Lin Xiuya, it was only in Dou Techniques and weapon skills. Even Lin Xiuya didn't dare to confront him head-on in close combat.

Otherwise, Lin Xiuya wouldn't have wanted to obtain the Core Quenching Body Milk to enhance his physique.

Lin Xiuya's expression was solemn as he said, "Why do I feel like the Core Quenching Body Milk that Xiao Yan used isn't the same as ours? His physical body has become much stronger."

A strange light flashed in Han Yue's beautiful eyes as she softly said, "Perhaps it's because he's an alchemist and added medicinal properties to enhance the potency of the Core Quenching Body Milk."

On the stage, the two were extremely in sync; neither chose to use Dou Techniques or weapons.

Xiao Yan's fist smashed down but barely grazed past Liu Qing's shoulder without effect. At the moment his attack missed, Liu Qing's left claw suddenly bent slightly, then swiftly slapped toward the left side.

This seemingly casual swipe was actually extremely precise, hitting an acupoint on Xiao Yan's arm just as his fist missed.

A smile appeared at the corner of Xiao Yan's mouth. He transformed his fist into a claw, grabbed Liu Qing's shoulder with a backhand, and abruptly pressed down, forcing Liu Qing's feet into the ground.

Liu Qing adapted on the spot. Seeing his claw miss, he changed it into a palm and sent a burst of force into Xiao Yan's chest, causing him to retreat several steps.

Liu Qing pursued, his palm facing downward, curling into a slight arc like an extremely sharp beast claw. His arm trembled, and the sharp claw brought forth a chilling gust as it smashed heavily toward Xiao Yan's chest once more.

Xiao Yan reacted instantly. His five fingers clenched tightly, his left foot braced against the ground, and he fiercely punched out, colliding head-on with the pouncing claw.

Bang!

Fist and claw collided violently. A low sonic boom suddenly rang out at the point of contact. A ripple of energy causing space to tremble surged out before rapidly expanding in all directions.

Liu Qing's Dou Qi faltered as Xiao Yan's terrifying physical strength forced him to stagger back several steps. The ground shattered and rocks flew with each step, showing how terrifyingly powerful Xiao Yan's physical strength was.

Liu Qing's eyes narrowed. He never imagined that his physique would actually lose to Xiao Yan's!

"Great Rift Coffin Splitting Claw!" Liu Qing suddenly shouted. His claw faced downward, and in an instant, the smile on his face vanished. His arm shot out, and his claw violently thrust forward. The invisible force formed faint arcs of light before the claw in an extremely shocking momentum.

Xiao Yan smiled faintly, exhaled, and circulated the Dou Qi in his body. His body emitted cracking sounds, and the veins on his right arm suddenly bulged as he faced the charging Liu Qing.

"Octane Blast!"

Someone in the crowd said seriously at the sight of Liu Qing finally using a High Xuan Class Dou Technique, "That's the High Xuan Class Dou Technique that Liu Qing obtained in the Inner Academy. If I'm not mistaken, he's cultivated it to perfection."

"However..."

"I'm afraid the Dou Technique that Xiao Yan used when he killed the Snow Demon Sky Ape was also an extremely profound High Xuan Class Dou Technique. It all depends on whose strength is greater now."

Under the gaze of countless eyes, the fist and claw, both containing extremely destructive power, finally collided head-on!

Boom!

A resonant explosion suddenly rang out across the arena. A storm-like ripple of energy abruptly surged out from the point of contact between the two. Wherever the ripples passed, the ground emitted continuous cracking sounds as it was unable to withstand the force. Cracks quickly spread out beneath their feet like a spider's web.

The destructive power caused by this storm of energy made the audience in the stands gulp. This was purely physical strength! Yet the destructive power was actually so terrifying.

In the central area, fist and claw seemed to lock together. Invisible force continuously discharged from the soles of their feet. The crowd then saw the extremely solid floor rapidly crumbling and turning into tiny fragments. In the end... the fragments were even pulverized into dust!

The entire battle stage caved in with a rumble. Xiao Yan couldn't help but take two steps back. He lowered his head to look at the back of his right hand. There were three bloody gashes where he had been cut with blood flowing out.

"It seems I still underestimated you." Xiao Yan wiped the blood and looked in Liu Qing's direction.

On the other side, Liu Qing had suffered eight hidden forces from the Octane Blast. If he hadn't taken out the Mountain Splitting Spear and stabbed it into the ground in time, he might have been sent flying off the stage by Xiao Yan.

With a 'puh' sound, Liu Qing spat out a mouthful of blood. Xiao Yan's hidden force had undoubtedly caused significant internal injuries.

After using the Core Quenching Body Milk, Xiao Yan's physical strength was far greater than Liu Qing's. In pure close combat, Liu Qing simply wasn't a match.

"Cousin Liu Qing!" Liu Fei stood up anxiously when she saw Liu Qing spitting blood.

Her face turned pale. She never thought Liu Qing would actually be no match for Xiao Yan!

Liu Qing slowly pointed his heavy spear at Xiao Yan under everyone's gaze. His deep voice echoed throughout the arena: "You're very strong, even stronger than I imagined."

"But I won't admit defeat easily. Let me use the strongest move of this Mountain Splitting Spear to end this match!"

'Liu Qing is going to use the Mountain Splitting Spear...' Lin Xiuya sighed lightly on the high platform as he looked at the pitch-black heavy spear in Liu Qing's hand.

With a 'dong' sound, a dark shadow appeared from Xiao Yan's storage ring. He grasped the Heavy Xuan Ruler, pointed it at Liu Qing, and said, "Then I'll also use this move to end this match."

"A final move to decide the victory." A somewhat stiff smile appeared on Liu Qing's usually calm face. The Mountain Splitting Spear slashed diagonally through the air, leaving a faint golden trace of Dou Qi in the empty space.

"This was my trump card against Lin Xiuya, but given the situation now, I'll have to use it on you first."

Dazzling golden light instantly burst from Liu Qing's body, growing more and more intense. In the end, it almost completely enveloped him. This imposing aura even had a hint of Di Class. This Dou Technique was probably infinitely close to Di Class!

Xiao Yan saw Liu Qing's body shrouded in golden light and didn't hold back either. The Ten Thousand Beast Flame surged from his palm, and the entire Heavy Xuan Ruler emitted waves of beastly roars.

An unusual, wild energy fluctuation suddenly rippled across the square. The elders on the judges' platform were the first to sense this fluctuation, and their expressions changed dramatically.

"A Di Class Dou Technique..."

Although the Book Collection Hall indeed had Di Class Dou Techniques, what Liu Qing obtained was a technique infinitely close to Di Class; he hadn't obtained an actual Di Class Dou Technique.

"This guy... just how many trump cards does he have?" At this moment, even the elders couldn't help but feel troubled. How could Xiao Yan be filled with treasures all over?

Below the stage, Lin Xiuya and the others also sensed something. Yan Hao gulped and said in shock, "Di... Di Class... And this imposing aura doesn't seem to be just entry-level."

A trace of solemnity appeared in Lin Xiuya's eyes. He was contemplating whether he could defeat Xiao Yan if they fought.

And the answer was exactly the same as the result of this match.

Liu Qing shouted loudly, "Cleaving Coffin Claw!"

A thunderous roar suddenly rang out. From the tip of the Mountain Splitting Spear, golden light erupted like a flood!

Xiao Yan's eyes remained emotionless and calm like still water while watching the golden light shooting over. Just as he had said at the beginning, the opponent he wanted to fight was that little monster, Zi Yan.

"Flame Splitting Tsunami!"

The Heavy Xuan Ruler chopped down. Having already reached the major level of mastery, the Flame Splitting Tsunami could be said to be Xiao Yan's killing move. An incomparably terrifying sea of flames instantly engulfed Liu Qing's Cleaving Coffin Claw.

In front of the Flame Splitting Tsunami, no matter what Xuan Class Dou Technique Liu Qing used, there was only one outcome, and that was utter annihilation.

The battle stage in front of Xiao Yan completely evaporated under the Flame Splitting Tsunami, leaving only devastation and charred remnants.

It was fortunate that Xiao Yan had strong control; otherwise, even the nearby spectator stands might have been destroyed.

First Elder Su Qian caught Liu Qing and stood in midair. He looked down at Xiao Yan and announced, "The victor—Xiao Yan!"
