Chapter 59: Nalan Yanran's Combo

The entire arena was in shock.

Everything happened too quickly. The opponent didn't even have the chance to draw their weapon or use any Dou Skill before being knocked off the stage.

"What incredible speed! Sect Leader Yun, that must be your sect's Soaring Dragon Movement Technique, right?" The middle-aged man under the pavilion tilted his head slightly as he watched the scene and spoke to Yun Yun.

"Your Majesty, indeed, it is the Soaring Dragon Movement Technique," Yun Yun replied, also feeling a hint of surprise.

She had seen Chen Mo perform the Soaring Dragon Movement Technique before, but she hadn't expected him to have already mastered its final layer.

Is a Mystic Rank Dou Skill really that easy to cultivate?

Chu Bao, who had been knocked off the stage, looked utterly dejected. He only remembered channeling his Dou Qi when a black shadow suddenly flashed toward him.

The lightning-fast speed and ferocious power left Chu Bao no time to dodge. The palm strike landed heavily on his chest, sending him tumbling off the stage.

"I remember Chu Bao's strength was at the Eight-Star Dou Master level, yet he couldn't withstand a single move from Chen Mo. Just how strong is Chen Mo?" A noble youth in the crowd whispered in discussion.

"My apologies," Chen Mo clasped his fists and smiled at Chu Bao below the stage, then turned and walked back to his seat. As soon as he sat down, Yao Ye leaned over, refilling his wine cup.

A strand of her black hair fell across her chest, her light makeup enhancing her beauty.

Chen Mo subtly shifted to create some distance, silently admiring her figure while downing the wine in his cup in one gulp.

Not far away, Nalan Yanran watched this scene, her delicate face showing a hint of discomfort. She frowned and also drained the wine in her cup in one go.

Then, she slammed the cup heavily onto the table, startling those around her and drawing their attention.

In the next moment, Nalan Yanran leaped gracefully onto the stage, her body as light as a feather, elegantly gliding down like a celestial maiden.

"I challenge Hu Jia," Nalan Yanran's gaze fixed on the woman in the pink and white dress below, her voice cold.

Aside from her issues with Chen Mo, Hu Jia had been staring at her intently ever since she arrived. The intensity of her gaze, especially coming from another woman, made Nalan Yanran feel disgusted.

Hu Jia was momentarily stunned. Seeing the sudden coldness in the young girl on the stage, she wasn't sure what had happened, but she knew she had somehow provoked her.

She didn't refuse. A hint of fascination appeared on her elegant face as she smiled and said, "I accept!"

With a light tap of her toes, she leaped onto the stage.

"Just after stepping onto the stage, you make me your first challenger. Honestly, are you also a little..." Hu Jia trailed off, chuckling softly.

"Enough nonsense, let's begin!"

Nalan Yanran's brows furrowed slightly, a cold aura emanating from her. With a light wave of her sleeve, the full force of a Dou Grand Master surged from her body, her Azure Dou Qi condensing into two Wind Vortices around her.

"A Dou Grand Master! A nineteen-year-old Dou Grand Master!"

Nalan Yanran's display captured everyone's attention. A Dou Grand Master at such a young age was a rare sight even in the Jia Ma Empire.

Hu Jia was slightly surprised. Her sparkling eyes looked at Nalan Yanran before her as she softly chuckled, "Not bad, truly the woman I've set my eyes on. Although she's a bit inferior to Xun Er, I imagine the taste, hehe..."

A momentum no less powerful than Nalan Yanran's erupted from her body.

Seeing the situation, Nalan Yanran took the initiative to strike. Two swirling Wind Vortexes condensed around her, enveloping Hu Jia.

Hu Jia remained calm and composed. She retrieved a long whip from her Storage Ring and swung it, creating a whip shadow that descended from the sky with a thunderous crack, dispersing the two Wind Vortexes.

At the same time, Nalan Yanran seemed to seize the opportunity. She executed Windblown Catkins, lightly stomping her foot and gliding forward, eerily flashing to Hu Jia's front.

With a wave of her palms, she unleashed Azure Wind Blades, striking towards Hu Jia.

Facing Nalan Yanran's direct attack, Hu Jia showed no fear. Her hands enveloped in water-blue Dou Qi, she chose to clash head-on with Nalan Yanran.

A powerful energy wave emanated from the collision between the two.

At that moment, everyone saw the Azure Wind Blades tremble violently before exploding in mid-air. The strong air pressure and the momentum carried by the Wind Blades caused a shard to pierce through Hu Jia's Fighting Energy Armor, embedding itself into her shoulder, staining her long skirt with blood.

Gritting her teeth in pain, Hu Jia lashed out with her whip, forcing Nalan Yanran to retreat.

"Junior!" Seeing Hu Jia injured, Wu Hao below immediately became worried.

"Hu Jia, are you alright?" Mentor Ruo Lin called out.

"No—" Before she could finish, Hu Jia noticed the girl who had retreated was already flashing towards her again.

Hu Jia didn't know that this girl was most adept at chaining attacks. Once she seized an opportunity, she would immediately unleash a combo to take you down.

The azure figure closed in, and a palm imbued with Azure Dou Qi struck Hu Jia's uninjured shoulder with force.

Hu Jia let out a scream as her body was sent flying off the competition platform. Just as she was about to hit the ground, Wu Hao leaped up and caught her.

Seeing Hu Jia injured, Wu Hao's expression darkened. He handed Hu Jia over to Ruo Lin for care and then turned to leap onto the platform, declaring loudly, "I'll fight you!"

However, Nalan Yanran didn't even glance at him, her expression indifferent as she said, "I refuse."

"One-star Dou Grand Master."

With that, she walked off the platform.

Below, the crowd was in shock, realizing this wasn't an ordinary duel.

In the previous match, Nalan Yanran seemed to be fighting with a certain emotion.

Chen Mo was stunned. Had this girl swallowed gunpowder? Her temper was so fierce, and her strikes were a bit too ruthless.

Especially when she stepped off the platform, she even glared at him.

What did that mean?

Beside him, Yao Ye smiled sweetly. Although the sudden development wasn't in her expectations, it suited her just fine.

She felt that things were getting more and more interesting.

As she thought this, she felt the level of temptation increasing.

Suddenly, Wu Hao's voice rang out.

"I challenge Chen Mo!"

Wu Hao was furious. Seeing Nalan Yanran step down, he had no choice but to target Chen Mo, who was close to Nalan Yanran.

Nalan Yanran, who had just sat down, flashed a sly look in her eyes.

"I accept!"

Chen Mo felt that it was time to display a portion of his strength, lest anyone could challenge him and use him as a stepping stone.

Indeed, that was exactly what everyone was thinking.

Chen Mo's talent was strong, but he was only sixteen years old, and his cultivation was only at the two-star Dou Master level. Even after more than three months, even if his cultivation had improved, at most, he would be a five-star Dou Master.

Even if he could surpass levels, could he really bridge the gap between a Dou Master and a Dou Grand Master?

A rare playful smile appeared at the corner of Yun Yun's lips.

Yao Ye sipped her fine wine, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she watched Chen Mo step onto the stage.

Three months ago, he was a Two-Star Dou Master.

And now?
