Chapter 12

Suddenly, a young man dressed in a neat combat uniform approached, looked at Xiao Yan who was standing beside Xiong Yuan, and asked, "Hey, Second Master Brother, is this kid new?"

Seeing Xiong Yuan smile without a word, the young man directly spoke to Xiao Yan, "Little brother, how about we spar?"

"Let me tell you, it's best not to bully the new guy. Go away, or spar with me?" Xiong Yuan then spoke.

The young man shook his head and waved his hands, giving Xiong Yuan a look of disdain. Xiong Yuan was known for his first-rate skills in tormenting people.

Xiao Yan, however, smiled and replied, "Master Brother Xiong Yuan, it's no problem. Since this Master Brother has invited me, I can't be such a spoilsport."

Xiong Yuan felt troubled, fearing that his junior brother might hurt Xiao Yan. But seeing Xiao Yan's cheerful expression, he couldn't find a reason to stop them. Reluctantly, he said, "Well... sigh, alright, just go easy on each other. This is Mu Feng." Xiong Yuan introduced Mu Feng to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan nodded and clasped his hands, "Please guide me, Master Brother Mu Feng."

Mu Feng raised his head and laughed heartily, "Haha, you're straightforward. I definitely want to have a good fight with this junior brother today!"

Xiao Yan smiled and nodded, and in an instant, both of them released their auras without reservation.

Mu Feng let out a loud cry, and his figure moved like a ghost, seemingly blending into the air without a trace. Xiao Yan, however, stood still, secretly spreading out his soul force. Mu Feng, like Wu Yong, was a mid-stage one-star Dou Di, and seemed to be slightly stronger than Wu Yong.

A powerful aura swept through the area, and a pale red Dou Qi enveloped Mu Feng's body, creating an invisible pressure that made some of the weaker people feel their breathing become difficult.

"Is this the aura of a mid-stage one-star Dou Di?" Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed. He could feel that Mu Feng's powerful aura, like a vast lake, spread out and enveloped his entire body, with pressure surging from all around. Such an aura could directly make a typical early-stage one-star Dou Di lose the courage to fight.

Feeling the exceptionally powerful aura in the area, many people on the square had changing expressions, their eyes filled with gravity. Such strength could be considered formidable even among mid-stage one-star Dou Di in Tianming Valley.

"Roar—"

A sharp fist wind, carrying formidable power, struck towards Xiao Yan's face. "Whoosh—" As the fist landed, Xiao Yan's figure had already disappeared. Mu Feng was suddenly startled; with his rich experience, he immediately knew that Xiao Yan was not easy to deal with and had been a bit careless, so he stomped his foot hard.

"Yellow Spring Finger!"

Xiao Yan showed no fear, and after dodging, he directly moved forward, quickly forming a massive energy pillar in the air. Mu Feng was not to be outdone; dark red Dou Qi erupted from his body like swirling flames. Mu Feng leaped into the air, like a hawk diving for prey, his face cold and grim. He condensed his fists and suddenly

threw them out.

"Arrogant fool. Light Splitting Rift!"

The hand seal in Mu Feng's hand suddenly glowed brightly. With a push, a black, sheet-like energy body formed in the air at a destructive speed, and the air seemed to be torn apart with a tearing sound.

"Go!"

Xiao Yan let out a cold cry, and with a slight flick of his finger, a massive energy pillar condensed into a huge energy dragon in the air. The two energy bodies collided, and the sound of the impact was deafening.

"Thud, thud—" Xiao Yan was pushed back a step by the force, and a trace of blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. Xiong Yuan became extremely worried and was about to rush forward to stop the fight. Just as he took a step, Xiao Yan stopped him.
