The confrontation between Mo Yu and Gao Lie immediately caught the attention of many onlookers. This freshman, who had been out of the spotlight for nearly two months within the Inner Academy, caused quite a stir as soon as he appeared.
Gao Lie, the sect master of the Barbarian Beast Sect, was well-known in the Black-Corner Region. With his peak Dou Wang strength and a powerful physical body, even two Inner Academy Elders couldn't suppress him.
Adding to this, Fan Lao, the sect master of the Blood Sect, was also chasing after Xiao Yan, causing many Elders and students alike to wonder what was going on.
Had all these powerful figures in the Black-Corner Region gone mad, targeting the Academy's students with such persistence?
In the sky, Han Feng, who was locked in combat with Hu Gan, caught a glimpse of the scene and couldn't help but shake his head. He had paid a hefty price to invite these sect masters from the Black-Corner Region to help him obtain the Fallen Heart Flame. But here they were, entangled with young students from the Jia Nan Academy, effectively taking his payment without doing their job.
While Han Feng was cursing inwardly, Lin Yan and Qian Mo exchanged glances in the distance.
"Not sure why the sect master of the Barbarian Beast Sect has targeted our boss, but since he's in trouble, it's time for us to step up!" As Lin Yan spoke, a pair of faint, translucent Dou Qi wings slowly appeared behind him.
"Oh? I didn't expect you'd already reached the stage of forming Dou Qi wings. Looks like you're halfway to becoming a Dou Wang," Qian Mo remarked, eyes narrowed in slight surprise.
"I didn't slack off in training, especially with the Cold Jade Bead the boss refined, which wards off fire poison."
With that, Qian Mo chuckled as a pair of light green, translucent Dou Qi wings slowly emerged behind him as well.
Seeing the differently colored Dou Qi wings behind Lin Yan and Qian Mo, the members of the Mo Gang all opened their mouths in astonishment.
Dou Qi wings were the symbol of a Dou Wang!
Though Lin Yan's and Qian Mo's Dou Qi wings were still thin, it was evident they were halfway to the Dou Wang level.
Looking up at Mo Yu, who was facing off against Gao Lie in the sky, the realization struck: Mo Gang now had three Dou Wang-level experts?
"Haha, Old Qian, didn't expect you also condensed Dou Qi wings. Let's go give the boss a hand!" Lin Yan laughed.
"Alright!" Qian Mo responded cheerfully.
In the arena, Gao Lie's face darkened as he glared at Mo Yu, the power in his hands stirring up ripples in the void, radiating an intimidating aura.
Just as Gao Lie was about to attack, two figures suddenly appeared beside Mo Yu with a whoosh.
Mo Yu glanced over with his silver eyes to find Lin Yan and Qian Mo standing by his side, both with faint Dou Qi wings behind them, a sight that made Mo Yu's eyes flicker with surprise.
"Boss, Old Qian and I are here to lend you a hand!"
Lin Yan looked back at Mo Yu with a hint of admiration in his eyes. Faced with such fierce opponents from the Black-Corner Region, their boss remained calm. He was truly impressive.
"Boss, it's been a while, but you're already up against such a strong foe."
Qian Mo lightly tapped the purple-black ring saw in his hand, adding, "But, Boss, just what level of strength do you have now? You feel… unfathomable."
"Hehe, I didn't expect you two to be halfway to Dou Wang. It seems you haven't wasted your time. As for my strength, you'll see soon enough.
"Now, as for Gao Lie, leave him to me. If you want to help the Inner Academy, go assist my cousin, Xiao Yan," Mo Yu said, glancing at Xiao Yan, who was in a tough spot.
Lin Yan and Qian Mo were momentarily stunned, then hesitated, "Boss, this is the sect master of the Barbarian Beast Sect, a peak Dou Wang. Shouldn't we…"
Before they could finish, Mo Yu raised his hand and smiled, then suddenly a massive surge of power erupted.
In the sky, the young man in the green robe stood with silver eyes, hands behind his back, as a terrifying and powerful aura surged forth like a tidal wave.
The sheer force of his aura was on par with Gao Lie's!
The sudden emergence of this powerful aura, rivaling that of a peak Dou Wang, left students and fighters alike momentarily stunned, even causing a brief lull in the chaotic battlefield.
When the gazes turned toward the source of the aura, they found Mo Yu standing opposite Gao Lie. Seeing this, the expressions of many fighters changed, with Han Feng's face becoming particularly grim.
For Su Qian, Hu Gan, and the other Inner Academy experts, however, the emergence of Mo Yu brought both shock and relief. His timely appearance was a godsend for their side; with him handling Gao Lie, it would significantly lessen the Elders' burden.
"This kid's strength has risen so fast. I had a feeling anyone who could corner the Yun Lan Sect wasn't ordinary. I wonder if Xiao Yan has some hidden trump card," Hu Gan thought, casting a hopeful glance at Xiao Yan, who was being pursued by Fan Lao.
Below, the students stared in awe at the sudden increase in Mo Yu's aura.
A Dou Wang! Mo Yu had actually become a Dou Wang! And judging by the power he exuded, he wasn't just a newly-advanced Dou Wang either!
"Don't worry. Leave him to me. Go support my cousin Xiao Yan and hold off Fan Lao for a while. Xiao Yan can handle the rest on his own," Mo Yu said, turning his head with a smile toward Lin Yan and Qian Mo.
Lin Yan and Qian Mo looked at Mo Yu with admiration. The ferocious aura emanating from him was on par with Gao Lie's.
In just two months, Mo Yu's power had skyrocketed to a terrifying degree, seemingly without reason.
Though they knew he was immensely talented, they had only expected him to rise a few stars. Breaking through to Dou Wang was already impressive, but this... It was as if he'd skipped an entire rank.
Swallowing hard, Lin Yan and Qian Mo felt their mouths go dry.
They'd thought Mo Yu's use of powerful soul techniques was his ace, but now they realized his Dou Qi cultivation was equally frightening!
"Boss, you sure know how to stay quiet until the moment of surprise. I knew the Strong List Tournament wasn't a big deal for you. I bet even some Inner Academy Elders couldn't match you now," Qian Mo complimented, unable to hide his awe.
Mo Yu gave a faint smile. "Just a fortunate opportunity allowed me to advance quickly."
"All right, go support Xiao Yan. Leave this one to me."
Nodding respectfully, Lin Yan and Qian Mo patted their chests. "Don't worry, Boss. We might not match you in strength, but we won't let Xiao Yan get hurt. Just watch."
"Good." Mo Yu nodded with a smile, his bright grin sending a chill down Gao Lie's spine.
This kid had actually reached the Dou Wang level!
The first time they'd met, Mo Yu had only just stepped into Dou Ling. While his talent was impressive among his peers, Gao Lie had thought of him as no more than an ant he could crush with ease.
Yet in only half a year, this boy had become a Dou Wang. And from his aura, he wasn't even at the beginner Dou Wang level.
At this rate, give him a few more years, and he'd reach Dou Huang—or even Dou Zong!
With this thought, Gao Lie's killing intent surged even more fiercely. This kid couldn't be allowed to live!
"Who would've thought you'd grow this strong? If you had a few more years, perhaps even I wouldn't be your match," Gao Lie sneered, a cruel glint in his eyes as he stared at Mo Yu's surging aura.
"You're far too confident," Mo Yu replied with a slight smile, his gaze on Gao Lie turning cold. "In fact, you're not my match now. I've heard that the Barbarian Beast Sect is famed for its physical strength, and you, Sect Master Gao, are called the King of Close Combat in the Black-Corner Region. How about we put that title to the test?"
Gao Lie laughed derisively, his face contorted in anger. "Arrogant brat! Just because you've grown stronger, don't think you're invincible. I, Gao Lie, have seen everything under the heavens, and you're far from qualified to speak to me like that. Half a year ago, you fled from me. Even if your strength has increased, the outcome won't change. I will end you!"
Mo Yu smirked, no longer interested in wasting words on this overconfident brute. Clenching his fist, he unleashed a terrifying power that surged through him, a dazzling lightning radiance flashing from his very bones. Silver light and arcs of lightning blazed from his flesh.
Gao Lie's expression turned grim as he felt Mo Yu's strength steadily rising. Though he spoke with disdain, he did not dare to underestimate his opponent. Mo Yu's power left Gao Lie astonished.
"It's only been half a year, yet he has strengthened his body to this degree? Even a fifth-grade magic beast pales in comparison," Gao Lie thought, his face serious.
At this realization, Gao Lie prepared himself fully, discarding any remnants of his previous contempt for Mo Yu.
"Barbaric Flame Beast Body Art!"
With a low roar, power erupted from Gao Lie, distorting the air around him. His aura intensified, and as his flesh and blood surged, traces of crimson energy, imbued with the lineage of the giant rhino, began to emerge from his body. Flames of a dangerous, fiery red burned around him, their ferocity stirring the sky itself.
The intense, beast-like aura spread across the heavens, instilling a trace of wild chaos into the very air. Even from afar, the students watching the battle could feel the oppressive, physical might of Gao Lie, sending a chill through their hearts.
"My body was forged by absorbing the bloodline of the fifth-grade Black Armored Giant Rhino. Combined with these bloodfire flames, my strength and defense are unmatched! Don't think you can defeat me, boy! Even ordinary Dou Huang would struggle against me. Consider it an honor to die by my hand!" Gao Lie sneered.
"Oh? Using a fifth-grade magic beast's blood essence to transform into flames, combined with such a beastly body—this Barbaric Flame Beast Body Art is indeed impressive," Mo Yu chuckled. "But it's just a parlor trick. Today, I'll show you a true body-cultivation technique!"
Mo Yu smiled calmly as Gao Lie's aura peaked, then released an overwhelming surge of his own physical power. Silver lightning crackled across the sky, while the monstrous aura Gao Lie exuded began to melt away as if ice meeting boiling oil, replaced by an incomparably powerful force of thunder.
Mo Yu clenched his fist and struck forward.
Dazzling silver light burst forth, and Mo Yu, embodying the power of a Thunder God, exuded a peerless, destructive force.
"Thunder Body!"
With his breakthrough to Five-Star Dou Wang, Mo Yu's mastery of this Di-Class Dou Technique was now more refined and devastating than ever. As his perfected Thunder Body erupted, countless onlookers felt the dense and intense physical power emanating from him, bringing many battles in the sky to a halt as shocked eyes turned towards the clash.
"It's Gao Lie! How did he get pushed to use the Barbaric Flame Beast Body Art by someone so young?"
"A Di-Class Dou Technique? When did the students of Jia Nan Academy grow wealthy enough to wield such high-level techniques?"
"A person who can match Gao Lie in physical combat?"
The murmurs grew as the onlookers marveled, but Gao Lie felt his heart sink at the terrifying power radiating from Mo Yu's body.
"Barbaric Flame Beast Body Art—Mighty Rhino Strike!"
With a thunderous roar, Gao Lie's body swelled, flames blazing as he unleashed yet another burst of power. His beast-like flaming form collided head-on with Mo Yu's radiant, silver-light-imbued figure in an instant.
In that single moment, an earth-shattering clash erupted across the skies!
