Chapter 447: Young Master of the Earth Spirit Gate, Huang Huang Xiao Yan Makes an Enemy!
Xiao Yan moved forward steadily with the crowd, finally avoiding the chaotic situation he encountered earlier.
This time, the entrance process was highly organized two long, orderly queues formed, leading up the stone path.
Only Dou Masters and above were allowed through after an identity check.
Their age was verified first if they were too old and still wanted to participate, well… they could turn around and go home!
On both sides of the stone path, over a hundred Wind and Thunder Pavilion disciples stood guard.
Leading them were two elders, one male and one female.
Xiao Yan immediately recognized them
They were the Green and Red Elders, who had previously accompanied Feng Qing'er to the Heavenly Mountain Blood Pool.
Now, though…
They were no longer esteemed figures.
They had been demoted to doorman duty!
It was clear that their failure at Heavenly Mountain had angered both the Wind and Thunder Pavilion and the Myriad Sword Pavilion.
After all, Myriad Sword Pavilion had lost two elders as well… permanently.
"Teacher… will I pass their inspection?"
"…"
Yao Chen remained silent.
Deep inside, he wanted to strangle Xiao Yan.
"Even with all my effort, my soul cultivation is only at the peak Dou Ancestor level.
If I had reached Dou Venerate, this idiot would already be a Dou Ancestor!
And now he's asking ME if he'll pass?! What if my Dou Ancestor level soul gets detected?!"
"Damn it! I swear, if the guardian elder here can separate me from him, I'll gladly leave!"
With no response from Yao Chen, Xiao Yan had no choice but to continue forward.
As he approached the two elders, the red robed elder stepped forward, sweeping his gaze across the remaining candidates.
Then, in a calm but commanding voice, he announced:
"The rules of my Wind and Thunder Pavilion are simple.
To participate in this tournament, you must meet three conditions:
You must be at least a Three Star Dou Emperor. You must be under thirty years old. You must withstand at least five moves from me!"
His voice echoed across the mountains, sending a ripple through the crowd.
"Of course," the elder added, "if you're just here to watch the spectacle, you may take the left hand path up the mountain.
A live projection will be available for spectators."
The moment he finished speaking, murmurs of shock and dismay broke out.
"Three Star Dou Emperor or higher?! Wasn't last time's requirement just 'any Dou Emperor'?!"
"They're being way stricter this time… but I suppose it's necessary. With so many people here, they need to filter out the weaklings!"
"Yeah, but still… This is way too harsh!"
Although many grumbled, few truly complained.
They understood this was a high level tournament.
Most of them had no chance anyway.
One by one, many competitors resigned themselves to taking the left path for spectators.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yan stepped toward the right path without hesitation.
Many others followed his example
Young warriors full of confidence and pride, determined to prove their worth.
However…
One by one, they were effortlessly slapped aside.
Most of them had barely reached Three Star Dou Emperor through pills and external power ups.
Their real combat strength was barely Two Star level.
And so, they were mercilessly knocked toward the left path, unable to even last a single move.
Xiao Yan watched carefully.
Despite appearing composed, his situation was no different from theirs
His power had skyrocketed thanks to pills and flames, but his foundation was still shaky.
However
Unlike them, his true strength far exceeded his surface level!
When Xiao Yan finally stepped forward, the red robed elder immediately froze.
His eyes scanned Xiao Yan from head to toe
His expression subtly shifting.
Xiao Yan felt extremely uncomfortable under the elder's intense gaze.
"Damn… If it were a woman, I'd be fine. But getting stared at like this by an old man…?!"
After a brief pause, the elder spoke calmly:
"You meet the requirements. No need for a test. You may enter."
The crowd fell silent.
"Wait, what?! He gets a free pass?!"
A bold young warrior who had just been slapped aside moments ago stood up and protested angrily.
Even the wood robed elder frowned in confusion.
"Why does he get special treatment?"
The red elder sighed and explained:
"When he stepped onto the stone path, the surrounding fire energy reacted.
That only happens when someone possesses extreme fire affinity."
"What?! That has to be a mistake!"
The wood elder shook his head in disbelief
Until his gaze fell upon Xiao Yan's body, which was now surrounded by a deep green aura.
A fiery, turtle like energy radiated outward, distorting the air around him.
The red elder's eyes widened.
"He has an Ancient Heavenly Flame… the Myriad Beast Flame."
"This brat is going to be a dark horse in this tournament."
Hearing this, the previously arrogant young warrior shrank back.
However, despite visibly retreating, he still sneered mockingly:
"Hmph. So what? His flame makes him look like a turtle! How ridiculous!"
His tone was smug his stance defiant.
Clearly, he was someone used to being superior to others.
Xiao Yan's gaze landed on him.
"Who are you?"
The young man straightened up and declared proudly:
"I am Huang Huang, Young Master of the Earth Spirit Gate!"
Xiao Yan chuckled softly.
Then, in a calm yet chilling voice, he said:
"Huang Huang, huh? I'll remember you."
"PFFT !"
"HAHAHAHA!"
"Wait, wait! His name is actually HUANG HUANG?! That's priceless!"
"Damn, man! Even my name sounds better than that!"
The crowd erupted into laughter.
Ever since the Earth Spirit Gate's humiliating defeat at the Heavenly Mountain Blood Pool, their reputation had plummeted.
And now…
Huang Huang was getting roasted in public!
Meanwhile, Xiao Yan ignored the mockery.
"They laugh at my 'Turtle Fire'? Fine.
Soon enough…
They'll learn to fear the 'Yin Yang Green Emperor'!"
With steady steps, he continued toward the mountain's peak.
As he ascended, he took note of the well trained and strategically positioned Wind and Thunder Pavilion disciples.
"Impressive… their discipline is even stricter than I expected."
Just as he reached the final stretch
A blinding thunderbolt struck from the sky!
And from within the lightning
FOUR dazzling figures descended upon the battlefield!!!
