265: Ranked third on the list!

Suspended in mid-air, the light blue Dou Qi wings slowly flapped, creating subtle energy ripples.

Jiang Donghua looked down at Xie Ying and Absolute Han, who were temporarily frozen rigid by shock below him, his eyes calm and unmoving.

He did not use any flashy Dou Technique, merely raising his fists slowly once more.

However, this time, it was completely different from the restrained punch he had used earlier to defeat Sun Mang!

The moment he clenched his fists, vast and majestic Dou Qi surged wildly from within him like a breached flood, converging upon his arms!

The brilliant silver light instantly intensified, rendering his two arms as if they were purely cast from liquid mithril, emanating an aura of simultaneous heart-stopping heaviness and sharpness!

The Heaven and Earth energy of the entire arena seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, beginning to converge frantically towards that pair of silver fists, emitting a low whistling sound!

Jiang Donghua took a deep breath, and immediately let out a clear shout that sounded like a clap of thunder, clearly entering everyone's ears.

"Heavenly Stellar Overlord Fist!"

Before the shout faded, he thrust both fists out simultaneously, fiercely slamming them downward!

"Rumble—!!!"

This was not a simple sonic boom, but a deep roar caused by space itself being shaken by this immense force!

Two massive silver fist auras, condensed to the extreme and almost materialized.

Like two falling silver meteors, they left Jiang Donghua's fists, carrying destructive pressure as they violently smashed towards Xie Ying and Absolute Han below!

The size and solidity of these fist auras were several times stronger than the one that had defeated Sun Mang earlier!

Where the fist wind passed, the air was extremely compressed, forming visible distorted ripples, and the violent air currents made even the spectators far from the stage feel difficulty breathing and stinging on their faces!

This was the full-power, unreserved strike of a Dou Wang Expert!

The power contained within it had completely exceeded the scope understandable by the Dou Ling realm; it was a qualitative change, a truly terrifying attack empowered by the Dou Wang stage!

"As expected of the stage hailed as the true first watershed for experts on the Fighting Qi Continent!"

On the viewing platform, a knowledgeable Senior Students could not help but exclaim in admiration, his voice filled with awe and longing.

On the stage, Xie Ying and Absolute Han, who bore the brunt of the attack, were forcibly pulled back to reality from their extreme shock the moment the silver fist aura appeared by a sense of fatal danger!

Both their faces instantly turned ashen white, and their pupils contracted sharply!

They could clearly feel that what was crushing down was not merely fist force, but two silver mountain peaks containing unmatched power!

Its might was far more terrifying than the Profound Rank High-Grade Dou Technique they had previously used!

"Quickly, defend!"

Xie Ying practically roared the words out, his voice distorted by fear!

"Join forces!"

Absolute Han also shrieked, no longer caring about face or personal pride!

Survival instinct and the expert's intuition for danger allowed them to make the correct choice in an instant: abandoning all thoughts of attack and focusing all their effort on defense!

"Golden Guardian Wall!"

Xie Ying roared, all the metal-attributed Dou Qi within his body surging out without reservation, rapidly condensing in front of him, turning into an incredibly thick light wall that flashed with dazzling golden light and was covered in ancient defensive runes!

This was his strongest defensive Dou Technique!

"Dark Erosion Swallowing Vortex!"

Absolute Han also rapidly waved his hands, and the pitch-black Dou Qi around him surged out like boiling ink, forming a rapidly spinning, bottomless dark vortex in front of him, attempting to swallow and wear down the terrifying force that was crushing down!

Both pushed their strength as Nine-Star Dou Ling to the extreme, even performing beyond their usual level!

At this moment, they only had one thought: block it! They must block it!

However, facing the silver meteors descending like divine punishment, their defenses appeared so pale and weak.

Under the gaze of countless shocked eyes, the two silver fist auras violently slammed down!

"Boom!!!"

"Clang—!"

Two deafening loud noises exploded almost simultaneously!

The two terrifying fist auras, falling like silver meteors, fiercely struck the Golden Guardian Wall condensed by Xie Ying and the Dark Erosion Swallowing Vortex deployed by Absolute Han!

The brilliant golden light wall emitted a grating sound of shattering cracks, covered in spiderweb-like fissures; although it hadn't completely collapsed, anyone with discerning eyes could see it had reached its limit!

Xie Ying stumbled back a step as if struck by a heavy blow, his face instantly turning an unnatural pale color, and his throat bobbed as he forcefully swallowed a mouthful of rising blood, clearly showing that his internal organs had been shaken.

Meanwhile, the bottomless dark vortex, after frantically spinning and swallowing a portion of the fist aura's power, also let out an overwhelmed humming sound; the vortex became extremely unstable and could collapse and backfire at any moment!

The black mist surrounding Absolute Han vibrated violently; he let out a muffled groan, his body trembling slightly, and even a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, clearly having paid a significant price to maintain the swallowing vortex and having endured a stronger backlash.

The two of them had used all their strength, even performing above their usual level, just to barely withstand this single strike, but they were already at the end of their rope, their internal Dou Qi chaotic and their blood surging.

However, before they could even catch their breath, Jiang Donghua, floating in mid-air, merely gave a slight flap of the light blue Dou Qi wings on his back.

That pair of fists, flashing with cold silver light, seemed to show signs of being raised again!

This single subtle movement instantly made Xie Ying and Absolute Han's scalps tingle, scaring them half to death!

Are you kidding me!

They had barely managed to take one move and nearly suffered injury; another one?

And from a Dou Wang who could use Dou Qi Transformation Wings and launch attacks from any angle at any time?

What's the point of fighting!

The two exchanged a glance with extreme tacit understanding, almost without hesitation, instantly reading the meaning in the other's eyes: Time to run!

"Stop! We quit!"

Xie Ying was the first to shout, his voice slightly distorted.

"We concede!"

Absolute Han shouted almost simultaneously, afraid that if he was too slow, that terrifying fist would fall again.

Before their words finished, the two immediately turned around as if fearing Jiang Donghua would change his mind, practically scrambling and tumbling off the stage at a speed several times faster than when they ascended!

Their movements were swift and decisive, carrying a hint of embarrassment.

Only after landing did the two let out a long sigh of relief, feeling as though they had taken a stroll back from the gates of hell.

Xie Ying wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, caught his breath, and then looked up at Jiang Donghua, who was slowly retracting his Dou Qi wings and lightly floating back onto the stage. His face showed an extremely complex expression, mixing lingering fear, shock, and a trace of exasperated annoyance, as he loudly complained in an irritable tone.

"Damn it! Jiang Donghua! If you had told us earlier that you were a Dou Wang, why would we even fight this damn match today!"

"I would have just handed over my strong ranking third place spot directly to you! Why go through all this trouble!"

Absolute Han stood beside him with a dark expression; although he said nothing, his face clearly showed that he deeply agreed.

Fighting a Dou Wang on a stage?

Isn't that just asking to be beaten up!

What happened to the agreement that he was only a Nine-Star Dou Ling?

Their words immediately resonated with many of the Senior Students in the stands, who felt a deep sense of shared experience, while also finding the situation absurd and hilarious.

On the other side, the members of the Donghua Pavilion, after experiencing the initial extreme shock and stupor, finally fully recovered their senses!

Unparalleled pride, fervor, and excitement erupted in their hearts like a volcano!

No one knew who started it, but deafening cheers rose into the sky like a tsunami from their section.

"Boss is awesome! Boss is invincible!"

"A Dou Wang! Our leader is a Dou Wang!"

"Long live the Donghua Pavilion!"

Cheers, shouts, and whistles merged into one sound; all the New Students were red-faced with excitement, wildly waving their arms, wishing they could tell the whole world that the youth on the stage, who resembled a God of War, was their leader!

At this moment, Jiang Donghua's prestige within the Donghua Pavilion reached its zenith!
