543: Chapter 543: Another Battle Against Ao Yuan!!

Qin Yan sat leisurely upon his throne, his gaze sweeping lazily over the area below.

As the various Disciples below looked at Qin Yan, not a single one of them wanted to challenge him.

A few days ago, news of Qin Yan breaking through to the Fifth Grade Peak at Spirit Mountain had already spread among this batch of Disciples.

At the fifth rank late stage, Qin Yan had already been absurdly terrifying, even defeating a powerful First Grade Disciple like Ao Yuan.

Now that he was at the Fifth Grade Peak, how powerful must he be?

No one knew.

And no one wanted to find out.

Currently, Qin Yan's comprehensive combat power definitely didn't place him among the weak, even among the Special Grade Disciples.

Rather than challenging him, it was better to challenge those weaker Special Grade Disciples.

Qin Yan sat upright on the throne, his eyes lazily scanning the crowd below.

No one challenged him.

Not a single soul.

Seeing this, Qin Yan couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.

Since his dual Breakthrough in Body Refining and Qi Refining, he hadn't found anyone to fight yet.

Just how strong was his current strength?

Even he didn't know.

He wanted to find an opponent to test himself.

Unfortunately, no one gave him the chance.

Just as Qin Yan was feeling disappointed—

"Buzz—!"

The golden throne behind him suddenly lit up with a dazzling golden light!

A golden thread shot out from the throne, extending toward a certain spot in the distance!

There, another golden thread was likewise intertwining with it!

The two threads coiled and merged—

A golden Fighting Arena condensed out of thin air!

Immediately after, Qin Yan's figure flickered, appearing on the Fighting Arena in an instant!

He looked up toward the opposite side.

Standing opposite him was a youth clad in black battle armor.

He had a burly build and a cold, stern face, with a powerful aura radiating from his entire body.

It was Ao Yuan.

A smile curled at the corners of Qin Yan's mouth.

He had just been thinking about finding an opponent to verify his strength.

And the opponent had arrived.

It was truly like someone delivering a pillow just as he was getting sleepy.

Ao Yuan looked at Qin Yan across from him, his brow furrowing tightly.

He could sense Qin Yan's current aura—

Qi Refining Fifth Grade Peak.

Body Refining Fifth-Rank Mid-stage.

He was significantly stronger than he had been last month.

To be honest, he didn't really want to challenge the other man anymore.

Over this past month, his own strength hadn't improved much.

At this point, how could he possibly defeat Qin Yan after his Breakthrough?

But he had no choice.

This was an order given to him by Prince Long Aotian.

He could not disobey.

"Qin Yan—"

Ao Yuan took a deep breath, his gaze becoming sharp.

"This time, I will wipe away my previous humiliation!"

Whether he could win or not, he couldn't lose on morale!

As soon as he finished speaking—

His body turned into a streak of black light, charging madly toward Qin Yan!

Seeing this, Qin Yan's expression remained unchanged.

The Ink Abyss Spear in his hand suddenly erupted with a dazzling blood-red light!

That crimson light, like fresh blood, surged from the shaft, completely covering the Mo Yuan spirit spear in the blink of an eye!

At this moment, the entire long spear transformed into a blood-colored spirit weapon, radiating a heart-palpitating aura.

Blood Burst, activated immediately!

A two-fold blood qi amplification!

With a shake of the long spear, Nirvana Spear Intent covered it!

Third-Grade Spear Intent, 3.2 times amplification!

Plus the spirit weapon's own two-fold amplification—

With the three stacked together, Qin Yan's current blood qi eruption reached a terrifying—

5.2 times!

His base blood qi of 331,000 cal, under the 5.2-fold boost—

Boiled up to 1,721,200 cal!

1.72 million cal!

It was 120,000 higher than Ao Yuan's 1.6 million cal!

Qin Yan gripped the Ink Abyss Spear tightly and met Ao Yuan's incoming black fist head-on!

Ao Yuan's face lit up with joy when he saw that Qin Yan didn't activate that five-colored Spirit Weapon Skill!

Without that strange parrying skill to weaken his attack, he was confident that even if Qin Yan had broken through to the Fifth Grade Peak, he wouldn't be able to withstand this strike!

Qin Yan would pay the price for his arrogance this time!

Thinking of this, a smile couldn't help but break out on Ao Yuan's cold face!

"Clang—!!!"

Spear and fist collided!

A deafening explosion erupted on the Fighting Arena!

At the point of impact, space distorted violently!

A blinding light illuminated the surrounding area for dozens of yards!

However—

Before long, a figure flew backward out of the light!

"Thud, thud, thud—!"

The figure landed on the Fighting Arena and retreated several steps in a row before finally steadying himself.

This person was none other than Ao Yuan!

"Drip."

"Drip."

Drops of blood trickled down his clenched fist and fell onto the Fighting Arena with a crisp sound.

The webbing between his thumb and forefinger had split open.

His arm was trembling slightly.

He looked up at the spear-wielding figure opposite him, his face filled with disbelief!

How could the other party... be this powerful?!

He had clearly used all his strength in that punch!

But the result was that he was the one knocked back!

Moreover, the opponent hadn't even used that weird parrying skill!

He had lost in a mere head-on collision!

At this moment, it wasn't just Ao Yuan who was in disbelief.

In the plaza, many Disciples watching this scene were also filled with incredulity!

"How can Qin Yan's blood qi eruption be so terrifying!"

"I remember last time, without that five-colored light parry, he couldn't block Ao Yuan's attacks at all!"

"This time, he actually suppressed Ao Yuan head-on!"

"..."

Discussions broke out one after another.

On the golden Fighting Arena.

Qin Yan was very satisfied with the power of his strike.

This was the advantage of a powerful Cultivation Technique.

With every minor Realm Breakthrough, one's own strength would receive a massive boost.

It seemed like he had only advanced two minor Realms, but with the support of the Five Elements Primordial Scripture and the Indestructible Blood Demon Scripture, it resulted in a growth of 100,000 cal of base blood qi!

He looked at Ao Yuan, giving him no chance to catch his breath.

Around his body, golden and green True Qi erupted simultaneously!

Taibai Sharp Gold True Qi, peerlessly sharp!

Taiyi Eternal Life True Qi, brimming with vitality!

Gold and wood fused together, coiling around the spear tip!

Qin Yan thrust out spear after spear continuously!

Streaks of Spear Qi burst from the long spear, whistling toward Ao Yuan!

That Spear Qi carried the sharpness of gold, the vitality of wood, and the intent of nirvana!

Every single one was incredibly sharp!

Ao Yuan felt the terrifying pressure rushing toward him, and his pupils shrank!

"Roar—!"

He let out a furious roar!

Black light surged frantically from his body!

Then his body suddenly expanded!

Scales churned, and flesh swelled!

In the blink of an eye, a black flood dragon dozens of meters long appeared on the Fighting Arena!

Flood Dragon True Form!

Ao Yuan swung his dragon claws, black water coiling around the tips as he fought to crush the incoming streaks of Spear Intent!

But Qin Yan's current blood qi eruption had already surpassed his by quite a bit!

Even if he exerted all his strength, he was completely unable to withstand it!
