He glanced at the long spear in Xiao Yi's hand, its cold light sharp.
Cheng Kui did not take it seriously, a slight grin spreading across his lips:
"Junior Brother Xiao Yi, if you lose today, don't say this Senior Brother bullied you!"
"Consider this seven days of fire energy as the tuition you paid!"
The tip of the dragon abyss formation breaking spear in Xiao Yi's hand trembled slightly, and he said softly:
"Senior Brother, rest assured. If I lose today, I will accept it wholeheartedly..."
"Please..."
At this moment, the crowd watching by the arena still did not favor Xiao Yi.
They completely regarded Xiao Yi as a foolish boy who had gone mad wanting fire energy.
A One-Star Great Dou Shi actually had the courage to challenge a Five-Star Great Dou Shi.
The gap in Realm and the strict hierarchy of Rank had long been deeply rooted in their hearts.
Therefore, no one realized Xiao Yi would win, and they were all just waiting to watch the show.
"Then don't blame this Senior Brother for being heavy-handed!"
Cheng Kui shouted loudly.
Before his voice faded, Cheng Kui charged forward like a wild bull.
Earth-yellow Dou Qi exploded beneath his feet.
Cheng Kui's sturdy body actually leaped a zhang high using the recoil force, and the spiked club in his hand smashed down toward Xiao Yi's head with immense force.
The spikes on the club, wrapped in Cheng Kui's Dou Qi, faintly solidified into a rocky texture; before it even reached him.
Xiao Yi felt a powerful sense of oppression.
"As expected of a Five-Star Great Dou Shi... this strength is truly overbearing..."
As Xiao Yi finished speaking, his toes tapped the ground.
The Dou Qi within his body flowed along the shaft, and the dragon abyss formation breaking spear suddenly spun rapidly in his hand.
The crimson arc drawn by the spear tip instantly condensed into a rotating flame barrier.
With a loud clang.
The spiked club smashed onto the fiery vortex.
The flame barrier Xiao Yi condensed was shattered.
However, it managed to dissipate most of Cheng Kui's force, giving Xiao Yi the opportunity to sidestep and avoid the blow.
When Cheng Kui landed, spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the arena floor.
Seeing Xiao Yi evade, Cheng Kui sneered and swung the club horizontally again.
"Junior Brother Xiao Yi, this level of strength is not enough..."
Yet Xiao Yi still stood holding his spear.
In the next second, streams of red flame Dou Qi surged violently onto Xiao Yi's right hand gripping the spear.
The Dou Qi circulated along the shaft of the dragon abyss formation breaking spear.
The Dragon patterns inscribed on the spear shaft seemed to come alive, spitting out orange-red fiery light.
At the same time, Cheng Kui let out a low roar, and the spiked club swept over, bringing with it a howling wind.
The earth-attribute Dou Qi wrapping the club condensed into a half-foot thick rock armor, smashing toward Xiao Yi's waist.
Xiao Yi tapped his toe, his figure shooting out diagonally like an arrow released from a bow; he held the dragon abyss formation breaking spear reversed behind him, the flame light from the tail of the spear dragging a residual image.
Facing Cheng Kui's extremely overbearing strength, Xiao Yi knew he could not take it head-on.
Instead, he used the momentum of Cheng Kui's swing to circle around behind him.
As Xiao Yi flipped his wrist, the spear tip suddenly erupted with scorching Dou Qi.
With a "chi" sound.
It pierced Cheng Kui's ribs, where his Dou Qi defense was weaker.
Although it did not reach the bone, it still burned a scorched hole in Cheng Kui's armor.
Cheng Kui roared in pain, spun around abruptly, and slammed the spiked club toward the ground with the force of sweeping away a thousand armies; earth-attribute Dou Qi instantly spread along the arena, and several stone spikes burst out from beneath Xiao Yi's feet!
Xiao Yi tapped the tip of a stone spike with his toe, using the force to leap into the air.
The dragon abyss formation breaking spear drew a crimson arc in the air, the Dou Qi and the spear wind condensing together into a spear light.
It actually forced the spiked club smashing toward him back half an inch.
"Interesting!"
"It seems I truly underestimated you..."
Surprise flashed in Cheng Kui's eyes, and then he maliciously smiled, urging forth stronger Dou Qi; the spikes on the spiked club began to tremble, and the earth-yellow light almost solidified.
"Try this!"
"Earth Splitting Strike!"
Cheng Kui was the first to lose patience and activate a Dou Technique.
Mysterious Tier Low-Grade Combat Skill, Earth Splitting Strike!
The spiked club in Cheng Kui's hand smashed toward the center of the arena with the Aura of collapsing mountains and splitting stones.
The bluestone beneath Xiao Yi's feet instantly shattered, and broken stones mixed with earth-attribute Dou Qi swept toward him.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yi had no choice but to face it.
Xiao Yi took a deep breath, and immediately, the Dou Qi in his body surged, rushing entirely toward the dragon abyss formation breaking spear in his hand.
Along with the injection of Dou Qi into Xiao Yi's body, the Golden Dragon inscribed on the shaft of the dragon abyss formation breaking spear seemed to truly undergo an Awakening!
A shimmering golden light slowly appeared, circling the spear shaft and floating toward the tip.
"Vault Breaking Art, First Stance!"
"Dragon Abyss First Awakening!"
Xiao Yi shouted loudly, immediately activating a Dou Technique, the Dragon Abyss Vault Breaking Art!
Because Xiao Yi understood at this moment that to win, the only way was a direct confrontation!
In the next second, a Golden Dragon appeared atop the long spear in Xiao Yi's hand!
A Dragon roar echoed throughout the arena!
The Golden Dragon, wrapped in a dazzling spear light, charged toward Cheng Kui in the center of the arena!
The next second.
The crackling sound of fire and earth colliding was deafening; the stone spikes sizzled as they were scorched, their edges gradually melting into magma.
Cheng Kui's expression changed slightly; he could feel his Dou Qi being eroded by the flames.
The condensed stone spikes actually began to disintegrate.
Moments later, the Golden Dragon unleashed by Xiao Yi had already broken through Cheng Kui's Dou Technique.
After all, how could a Profound Rank Dou Technique possibly compare to an Di-rank Dou Technique?
Its power undiminished, it shot straight toward Cheng Kui.
The Dragon roar sounded again.
The Dou Qi armor condensed on Cheng Kui's chest also shattered in response.
"How is this possible!"
"I am a Five-Star Great Dou Shi..."
Cheng Kui looked down, his face filled with disbelief, muttering incessantly.
As Cheng Kui finished speaking, he could no longer hold on and dropped to one knee.
The pain in his chest forced him to cover it with his hand.
That strike just now was a genuine Di-rank Dou Technique.
Furthermore, now that Xiao Yi had advanced to Great Dou Master, he could unleash its power to an even higher level.
Therefore, if Xiao Yi had not deliberately held back, the Golden Dragon just now would not have merely torn apart Cheng Kui's Dou Qi armor and inflicted only minor flesh wounds.
This was, after all, just an arena match, and although Cheng Kui was merely physically robust, he was not a bad person.
Thus, Xiao Yi only needed to ensure his victory.
"Senior Brother Cheng Kui, how was that..."
Xiao Yi retrieved the dragon abyss formation breaking spear in his hand, stepped forward slowly, and reached out to help Cheng Kui up.
He said softly.
Cheng Kui laughed heartily: "Brother Xiao Yi has excellent methods!"
"I lost!"
"I, Cheng Kui, accept my defeat! Here is sixty days of fire energy! Take it!"
Cheng Kui was indeed a straightforward person; he generously admitted his failure and transferred the promised fire energy to Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi smiled slightly: "Thank you, Senior Brother..."
At this moment, the spectators around the arena were completely dumbfounded.
A One-Star Great Dou Shi defeated a Five-Star Great Dou Shi!?
Moreover, Cheng Kui was not only a Five-Star Great Dou Shi but also possessed earth-attribute Dou Qi, and the Dou Qi armor he condensed was harder than the Dou Qi armor of an average Great Dou Master.
But the Dou Technique that brat Xiao Yi used just now directly shattered Cheng Kui's Dou Qi armor!
What kind of offensive power was that?
After all, the most shocking thing for everyone was that Xiao Yi was only a One-Star Great Dou Shi!
"It seems that the Inner Academy will soon produce another monster..."
