Battle Through the Heavens: Beauties Abound Starting with Yunlan and Her Disciples

289: Section 289He suddenly turned his head, grabbed Su Qian by the sleeve, and said with eyes shining, ”This child! This little girl named Xiao Yan is absolutely a one-in-a-million, natural-born Alchemist seed! We absolutely! Absolutely cannot let her continue to waste her talent like this!”

”Listen to me, Old Su!” The Alchemist instructor’s tone became indisputable, ”This child, after she enters the Inner Academy, our Alchemy Department wants her! We will cover all of her cultivation resources! You cannot compete with us for her! And you certainly cannot monopolize the opportunity to sponsor her!”

”We won’t, we won’t.” Su Qian looked at his protective, possessive appearance, as if he were afraid his treasure would be snatched away, and helplessly shrugged his shoulders. Sigh... these Alchemists who only know how to deal with medicinal herbs and pill furnaces all day long...

They only see that dazzling exotic flame, but they fail to see that the person who can truly make the sun and moon lose their luster, the one surrounded by stars, is the young man who is leisurely drinking tea.

Forget it, people whose brains have been muddled by alchemy are probably... all like this. Su Qian couldn’t be bothered to explain further to him; he simply waved his hand, signaling him to calm down.

291 The Three Xiao Sisters and the Cloud Mist Sect Sisters

After the last overconfident examinee was casually rolled out of the arena, the vast Training Ground, covered in snow and traces of battle, was finally left with only Yun Xiancheng and his party.

Thus, the outcome of the martial arts segment of this promotion examination was already sealed.

The area around the Training Ground fell into a deathly silence, filled with awe and shock.

The surviving examinees all looked ashen, their eyes unfocused, as if they had not yet recovered from the one-sided battle that could only be described as a ”dimensional reduction strike.”

The strength they were so proud of, and the tactics they had carefully prepared, were as fragile as children’s toys in front of those two Young ladies. There was no longer any suspense regarding the result of the competition.

However, just as everyone thought this mismatched examination was about to come to an end in such a crushing manner, the atmosphere on the field suddenly underwent a subtle change.

”Alright, Senior Sister Nalan Yanran, the warm-up is over.” Xiao Yan, carrying the xuan heavy ruler that was extremely disproportionate to her petite frame, turned around and cast her burning gaze, filled with fighting spirit, toward The Three Xiao Sisters who were standing not far away with their swords sheathed.

”The next part is the real main course.”

”Little Sister Xun’er, Big Sister Xiao Yu, Little Sister Xiao Mei,” Nalan Yanran also turned around, gently twirling the long sword in her hand, pointing the tip toward the opposite side, with an elegant and confident smile on her face, ”I wonder if the education at Jia Nan Academy over these years has taught you anything?”

As their voices fell, the atmosphere on the field instantly shifted from ”uniting against an external enemy” to a tense ”internal competition.”

”Hehe, naturally we have learned quite a bit.” Xiao Xun’er held a round fan and walked forward slowly. The vast and mighty aura belonging to a peak Great Dou Master on her body slowly spread out like a tide.

Her momentum was not as aggressive as Xiao Yan’s, nor as sharp as Nalan Yanran’s, but rather something deeper, more restrained, and as heavy and imposing as a deep abyss or a towering mountain.

She just stood there quietly, with a golden flame burning fiercely in her eyes.

Yun Xiancheng had already taken the stunned Hu Jia into his arms at some point, gently stroking her hair. The young lady belatedly realized their intimate movements, and a few drops of nosebleed involuntarily flowed from her nose.

Hu Jia claimed she wanted to pursue Yun Xiancheng, but in reality, she would end up like this with even the slightest bit of intimacy; if Yun Xiancheng didn’t take the initiative, they might end up in a classic youth campus romance marathon.

”Hey, hey, hey, are they going to fight amongst themselves?” Vice President Hu Qian, on the high platform, looked at the tense scene below and said to Su Qian beside him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Su Qian stroked his beard and smiled with great interest, ”Young people, having a bit of temper is normal. Besides, isn’t the rule of our Jia Nan Academy that the strong are respected? Letting them fight it out to determine who is superior is quite fair.”

Subsequently, there was a ”battle of the gods” in the true sense of the word, one that made all the spectators tremble with fear. The Three Xiao Sisters versus the Cloud Mist Sect sisters.

This battle was far more worth watching than the previous one-sided slaughter, and it appeared more twists and turns, and more intense.

”My god! That Xiao Xun’er! Her... her strength is actually at the peak of a Great Dou Master!!”

When Xiao Xun’er no longer had any reservations and released her vast, mighty golden Dou Qi, which belonged to a peak Great Dou Master, without any restraint. Around the entire Training Ground, there was another uniform sound of gasping in shock and numbness!

She moved elegantly, and as she swung the long sword in her hand, the golden Dou Qi surged like a rushing river, sometimes turning into a roaring lion, and sometimes condensing into sharp sword energy. With her own strength, she firmly suppressed Nalan Yanran, who was also a high-level Great Dou Master!

And her sisters, Xiao Yu and Xiao Mei, did not disappoint the crowd either!

”I didn’t expect this! I really didn’t expect this! These two, Xiao Yu and Xiao Mei, are actually both already at the strength of a six-star Great Dou Master!”

”My heavens! What kind of monster family is this Xiao Family... How do they keep producing such unreasonable monsters!”

Although Xiao Mei and Xiao Yu had already revealed their terrifying strength, far exceeding their peers, when they joined forces to severely injure Bai Shan, they had kept a low profile since then and rarely fought with others.

Many people thought that their strength had perhaps already been surpassed by other geniuses who had come from behind. But until today, they finally realized how ridiculously wrong they had been!

Xiao Yu’s Dou Qi was steady and heavy; every move she made carried a dignified and grand air like that of a lady from a noble family, yet inadvertently, she revealed exquisite combat techniques that would give any opponent a headache.

Xiao Mei’s style was more agile and tricky. Her movement technique was extremely fast, like a ghost, and the sharp sword in her hand could always pose a huge threat to Xiao Yan’s seemingly impeccable defense from various incredible angles!

Xiao Mei used wind-attribute Dou Technique. Being close to the source, the young lady could learn many wind-attribute Dou Techniques that Yun Xiancheng had prepared for her.

”Boom!!!” ”Bang——!!”

For a time, on the entire Training Ground, the golden, cyan, blue, red... various colors of Dou Qi light collided and intertwined fiercely, erupting with deafening roars!

The violent energy aftermath even caused the energy barrier set up by the academy elders around the Training Ground to ripple, as if it could shatter at any moment!

”Too... too strong... no matter which side, they are all as strong as monsters!”

”Is... is this really a battle that we are qualified to watch? I feel that just by watching, my Dou Qi is about to be suppressed to the point where it cannot circulate!”

The observing students had long been completely shocked beyond measure by this battle, which could be called a ”battle of the gods,” and everyone was terrified, not even daring to breathe loudly.

Finally, this wonderful ”Xiao Family internal fight,” after lasting for nearly half an hour, finally ushered in the moment to decide the winner!

”Since that’s the case... Senior Sister Xun’er, let me, your junior sister, use this move to end this battle!”

Xiao Yan, who had been forced to retreat step by step by the joint efforts of The Three Xiao Sisters, suddenly took a deep breath, and a look of unprecedented solemnity appeared on her face.

In her black eyes, a cyan fire lotus and a purple fire lotus began to slowly rotate and fuse along a mysterious trajectory.

Following her movements, an energy fluctuation, far more terrifying than the previous Green Lotus storm by a hundred or even a thousand times, and filled with destructive and violent aura, began to spread crazily around her as the center!

”Exotic Fire and Beast Fire fusion?! This... how is this possible!!” On the high platform, that Alchemy Department instructor jumped up from his chair in a loss of composure again, his face full of an incredible expression as if he had seen a ghost!

”Buddha’s Fury Fire Lotus!”

Xiao Yan spat out this name, which was enough to make the world change color, word by word.

A mini fire lotus, only the size of a palm, half cyan and half purple, looking extremely exquisite but containing terrifying energy capable of destroying heaven and earth, slowly took shape in her palm.

This Buddha’s Fury Fire Lotus, condensed from the Green Lotus Core Flame and Purple Wing’s purple fire, was naturally not as powerful as the fire lotus previously formed by the Green Lotus Core Flame and the Bone Chilling Flame.

But even so, the weakened version of the Buddha’s Fury Fire Lotus cast by Xiao Yan, who was a high-level Great Dou Master at this time, could still threaten a Dou Master.

”Go!!” Xiao Yan gave a delicate shout and gently pushed the incredibly beautiful and deadly fire lotus in her hand toward the direction of Xiao Xun’er and the others.

The speed of that fire lotus did not appear fast, one could even say it was somewhat slow, but to the students at the Great Dou Master stage, the fire lotus was fast to the extreme.

Xiao Xun’er’s expression changed, the golden flames in her pupils grew denser, even spreading across her entire body; the young lady’s beautiful hair slowly grew longer, while simultaneously being dyed with streaks of gold.

It seemed the young lady was about to activate a secret technique to become stronger and protect the other Young ladies.

However, at that critical moment when the weakened version of the Buddha’s Fury Fire Lotus was about to hit its target and completely engulf The Three Xiao Sisters.

A pale purple figure, as if teleporting, silently appeared in front of The Three Xiao Sisters. Naturally, it was Yun Xiancheng.

292 Number One

He looked at the Buddha’s Fury Fire Lotus, which arrived with the power to destroy the heavens and earth, his face showing not a ripple of emotion; he merely extended a slender, flawless hand that looked like white jade.

Then, under the dull, ghost-seeing gazes of everyone, he simply, casually, and understatedly flicked his finger.

A sound, so faint it was like a bubble popping, rang out.

That terrifying Dou Technique—the Buddha’s Fury Fire Lotus—which had enough momentum to make even a Dou King Expert change color, was extinguished and dissipated silently under Yun Xiancheng’s flick of a finger, just like a pricked soap bubble. It transformed into harmless specks of energy that filled the sky, falling like a magnificent meteor shower.

Such a terrifying Dou Technique was resolved by him with such a casual wave of his hand; this nonchalance, this composure, this unfathomable strength.

It made the surrounding students feel a heartfelt, soul-deep awe even more than the earth-shattering battle itself! ”He... just what kind of monster is he?”

For a time, only this single thought remained in everyone’s minds.

From this moment on, Yun Xiancheng, relying on his peerless appearance capable of overturning all living beings, and his unfathomable, god-like terrifying strength, quickly became the sole, supreme idol in the hearts of all students in the Outer Academy of Jia Nan Academy. Cheers rose one after another.

At this moment, as the ”internal strife” of the Xiao Family sisters ended, only three people were left on the field qualified to compete for the final championship: Little Lioness Yun Yan, Xiao Yi Xian, and Yun Xiancheng.

Hu Jia had long since gone off with her good friends; she couldn’t even compare to The Three Xiao Sisters, let alone the others.

Little Lioness Yun Yan seemed to have no great interest in this so-called ”First Place.” She just lazily yawned and rubbed her large purple eyes, which were still somewhat sleepy.

However, when she raised her eyes and saw Xiao Yi Xian in the distance, staring unblinkingly at Yun Xiancheng with a pair of sparkling eyes filled with battle intent, she immediately understood something.

”Husband.” Xiao Yi Xian slowly walked forward. On her usually gentle and quiet face, a rare look of seriousness and combativeness appeared at this moment. ”I want to fight you.” She issued a challenge to Yun Xiancheng.

Yun Xiancheng looked at her eyes, which were filled with ”desire,” and nodded gently: ”Very well. Xiao Yi Xian, feel free to make your move.”

On the side, Little Lioness Yun Yan looked at Yun Xiancheng’s tall, straight back, which seemed capable of holding up the entire sky for them.

In the depths of her pure, large purple eyes, a flash of incredibly infatuated and intense adoration silently flickered.

Afterward, she very obediently and consciously retreated, walking over to the side where Xiao Yan and the others had been waiting, leaving this final stage to her husband and his only opponent.

”? Yun Yan, why did you come down?” Xiao Yan looked at her as she voluntarily left the field and asked with some curiosity, ”Don’t you intend to try fighting Husband too? This is a rare good opportunity, oh.”

”No, no.” Yun Yan shook her head vigorously like a chick pecking at rice, then looked at Yun Xiancheng and said in a soft, sweet, and clingy tone, ”Yun Yan doesn’t like fighting, not at all. Yun Yan only wants to stay quietly in Husband’s embrace and smell Husband’s scent; that would be the happiest...”

Just as she finished speaking, ”—!” The entire Training Ground was, without any warning, completely covered by a dense, unresolvable purple poisonous mist filled with an eerie and ominous aura! The poison came so suddenly and swiftly that Great Elder Su Qian and the others on the high platform didn’t even have time to react before the entire competition field had completely disappeared from everyone’s sight.

Immediately following, within that churning, restless purple poisonous fog, one could vaguely see several brilliant sword lights, fast to the extreme and seemingly capable of tearing through space, flash past!

Then, there were several muffled, loud bangs that sounded like metal colliding. And then... everything returned to silence.

When that purple poisonous mist, which was enough to make any Dou King or even Dou Huang expert change color at the mere mention of it, slowly receded like the tide, only one tall and straight figure remained in the center of the Training Ground.

Yun Xiancheng was standing safely on the stage in a standard ”princess carry” position, holding Xiao Yi Xian, whose eyes had long since turned into two cute circles and who had completely lost her combat ability.

He looked at the pretty face in his arms, which appeared even more charming and moving due to exhaustion, his face full of doting smiles. ”You’ve worked hard, my Xiao Yi Xian.”

On the high platform, all the instructors, including Great Elder Su Qian, had expressions that, without exception, became incomparably grave at this moment.

Although the battle just now was as fast as lightning and flint, the level of power displayed within it was enough to make any instructor present feel terrified!

Especially the strange and domineering Poison Dou Qi that Xiao Yi Xian unleashed at the end; its intensity and destructive power had already far exceeded the category of an ordinary low-level Dou King!

It was so strong that even some long-famous Dou Master instructors admitted that if they were to encounter it head-on, they would likely struggle to gain any advantage!

Yet, such a powerful Xiao Yi Xian was still easily subdued by Yun Xiancheng in just a few breaths. ”I... I say, Old Su...”

A Dou King instructor leaned over to him and asked in a low, dreamy voice that carried a slight tremor, ”Tell me the truth, are these little monsters really here at our Jia Nan Academy to be students?”

Su Qian, upon hearing this question, not only felt no embarrassment but instead puffed out his thin chest, a look of immense pride on his face, and said loudly: ”Of course! They are the most outstanding students of this year at our Jia Nan Academy! Doesn’t this just go to show that our Jia Nan Academy teaches well?!”

”Yes! Yes! Yes! The Great Elder is right! He is right!”

”That’s right! Being able to cultivate such peerless geniuses is enough to prove that our Jia Nan Academy is worthy of being the number one institution on the continent!”

The surrounding instructors immediately reacted upon hearing this, one after another revealing fawning smiles and chattering with flattery. ”Good!!”

In the end, it was Vice President Hu Qian’s booming voice that broke this harmonious atmosphere filled with ”commercial mutual flattery.”

He stood up, walked onto the high platform, looked at the single figure below, and with a voice filled with vigorous Dou Qi, pride, and self-esteem, officially announced the final exam results to the entire Outer Academy:

”I announce! The final first place of this year’s Jia Nan Academy Outer Academy year-end advancement exam is none other than—Yun! Xian! Cheng!”

”All students who passed, please get ready! In a while, you will officially advance and head to the true core of our Jia Nan Academy—the Inner Academy—to begin your brand new chapter of cultivation!”

293 Library Pavilion Reward

After the competition ended, Yun Xiancheng and the Young ladies headed to the outside of Jia Nan Academy’s Library Pavilion.

”Alright, children, congratulations to you all.”

Vice President Hu Qian’s voice was booming and full of gratification; he stood in front of an ancient and magnificent stone tower, a warm smile on his face.

”As the winners who ranked at the top of the comprehensive results in this year’s Outer Academy year-end assessment, according to the academy’s tradition, you may enter our school’s Library Pavilion and freely choose one item from within as a reward for your outstanding performance.”

He reached out and pointed to the seven-story stone tower behind him, which looked unremarkable.
