"Sect Master, what is that?"
As another aura appeared, people from the Heavenly Serpent Mansion immediately came to Yang Yue to inquire about the situation.
"The young sect leader has emerged from seclusion, there's no need to be nervous," Yang Yue said, waving his hand.
He then turned to Xiao Yan and the others and said, "Young friend Xiao Yan, why don't you go and see how your other companion at this grand event is doing?"
Xiao Yan nodded in response. Although he hadn't met the person who had emerged from seclusion, he knew who it was. His group wasn't originally part of the Heavenly Serpent Manor's plan, and Qing Lin wasn't on Yang Yue's list either. Xu Yingwu had also mentioned to Xiao Yan the representative figure of the younger generation of the Heavenly Serpent Manor, the young sect leader Yang Lingyan!
Judging from this aura, he is undoubtedly a Dou Huang powerhouse. Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. Although the competitiveness of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion has decreased a lot in recent decades, it is still one of the leading forces in the Northwest Region, and it can still put together a team of not weak members.
The group followed Yang Yue to the source of the aura. Clearly, Yang Lingyan's breakthrough had taken much less time than Zi Yan's. When they arrived, they saw a similarly slender man, somewhat resembling Yang Yue, already flying in the air. Upon seeing Yang Yue, the man immediately bowed and said, "Father!"
Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan noticed that Yang Lingyan, like Yang Yue, was thin but possessed an indescribable softness in his movements, as if all the bones in his body had been removed. Qing Lin had explained to him that this was a side effect of practicing the most important technique of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion.
Seeing his son, Yang Yue, who was usually stern and unsmiling, also broke into a smile and asked, "How was your seclusion this time?"
"I have lived up to expectations and have broken through to the four-star Dou Huang realm." As he spoke, Yang Lingyan's face showed a hint of pride. Breaking through to the four-star Dou Huang realm before the age of thirty would earn him the title of genius anywhere.
Then, noticing Xiao Yan and the others behind Yang Yue, he asked, "Who are these people?"
"Oh, these must be Qinglin's friends. They'll be representing our Heavenly Serpent Palace in the Beast Tournament. Will they be your partners from now on?"
"Qinglin's friend? Could it be Xiao Yan?" Yang Lingyan's tone changed, and his eyes revealed a hint of hostility.
Xiao Yan also bowed slightly and said, "It is indeed I."
He clearly sensed the ill intent emanating from Yang Lingyan, so naturally he didn't hold back.
Yang Lingyan glanced at Xiao Yan, sensing Xiao Yan's strength as a two-star Dou Huang, and said casually, "Two-star Dou Huang, not bad. Just don't hold me back. The Ten Thousand Beasts Gathering is no ordinary organization. Listen to my commands then."
"You're just a mere four-star Dou Huang, who's dragging whom down?" Zi Yan's disdainful tone came through. Xiao Yan could remain calm, but she had always disliked this kind of person.
Yang Lingyan looked at Zi Yan and said, "And who are you? Do you have any right to interrupt?"
After Zi Yan broke through, her aura became more concealed, and her true strength could not be discerned from her appearance.
"Come fight me, and if you lose, you'll do as I say, okay?" Zi Yan said with a malicious smile.
Yang Lingyan first looked at Yang Yue, who remained silent, and then said with relief, "It would be too troublesome for you to come one by one. Why don't the three of you come together?"
Yang Lingyan's pride was not without reason. Xiao Yan learned from Xu Yingwu that all the prodigies from the powerful families of the Northwest Region underwent extremely rigorous training from a young age, making them virtually invincible among their peers, and challenging those of higher levels was commonplace. Yang Lingyan recognized the three as experts above the Dou Wang level, but he also possessed his own pride. He was a potential heir to the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, not someone that Yang Yue could easily deal with.
At this moment, Yang Yue tacitly approved his actions. It seems that these people must be the touchstones that Yang Yue has chosen. He wants to prove to his father that the Heavenly Serpent Mansion can be handed over to him.
"Hahaha, you can beat me, we'll all listen to you!" Zi Yan said disdainfully, hands on her hips. Yang Lingyan looked at Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er, and both of them nodded with light smiles.
Yang Lingyan felt a chill run down his spine. This little girl must be quite capable to be so arrogant, and he immediately put away his complacency.
"Then I'll make my move," Yang Lingyan prompted Zi Yan. After all, he didn't want to be branded as a sneak attacker in his own home.
Come on, come on.
As soon as Zi Yan finished speaking, a snake-shaped phantom appeared behind Yang Lingyan. Yang Lingyan's pupils changed color, and his whole body began to move rhythmically as if he had no bones at all.
Yang Lingyan unconsciously stuck out his tongue, which was sharp and probably more than half a meter long.
Yang Lingyan pointed his left hand with fingers together, sharp as a knife, and slashed directly at Zi Yan.
Zi Yan's figure changed, and she disappeared from the spot in an instant, appearing behind Yang Lingyan the next moment.
"The ability to control space," Yao Lao, who was inside Xiao Yan's body, exclaimed in surprise.
"Teacher, spatial abilities can only be controlled by Dou Zong, right?"
"That's right, this little girl is really amazing. I saw that she already had some initial control over space before, but I didn't expect that she can use it freely this time. I'm afraid that the young man from the Heavenly Serpent Mansion has no chance at all."
The old doctor's judgment was incredibly astute. Although Zi Yan was still somewhat inexperienced, she used her control over space to teleport continuously within this area, and Yang Lingyan had not yet been able to touch her.
"Zi Yan's growth rate is truly enviable," Xiao Yan said in a low voice.
Beside her, Xiao Xun'er smiled and said, "It's even more astonishing that Brother Xiao Yan reached the Dou Huang level in just three years."
"I just don't know if Zi Yan will be accepted by that Beast Realm..."
Others may not know, but Su Qian and Xiao Yan have mentioned that Zi Yan's true form is probably quite old, but because magical beasts have long lifespans, she ate the Transformation Grass and is now in the form of a child.
For Xiao Yan, Zi Yan, who has now broken through to the Dou Huang level, is a crucial trump card at the Ten Thousand Beasts Gathering.
While Xiao Yan was pondering, Yang Lingyan, whose attacks had repeatedly missed, looked rather grim. He gritted his teeth as he looked at Zi Yan, who was grinning at him as if he were a fool, and his pupils slowly widened from round.
A strange, crimson-purple light slowly emanated from Yang Lingyan's eyes, then enveloped the entire space like gas.
Zi Yan tried to dodge, but the red and purple light was incredibly fast. Even with teleportation, she was still caught by it. A feeling of being secretly watched by the python arose in Zi Yan's heart.
"You can't escape it now, can you?" Yang Lingyan smiled coldly.
The serpentine phantom reappeared, and Yang Lingyan's hands gathered battle qi.
"Demon Serpent's Bloodthirsty Strike!"
Yang Lingyan clasped his hands together, and an incomparably sharp sensation came from his hands, like a serpentine monster lurking in the grass, waiting for a chance to attack.
Seeing this, Zi Yan was not surprised but delighted. She had used her spatial abilities to dodge left and right before mainly to tease this arrogant guy. Now that he had locked onto her directly, Zi Yan was never afraid of a contest of brute force.
Zi Yan smiled sweetly on her exquisitely beautiful face, her purple hair moving without wind, and she threw a simple, unadorned punch.
Even Xiao Yan, who was standing nearby, could sense the overwhelming force of this brute power with just a slight application of his soul power. The essence blood not only enhanced Zi Yan's battle qi, but also amplified her innate, terrifying brute strength by three points.
Fist and fingertips clashed, and a cracking sound of bones breaking rang out. Yang Lingyan was sent flying hundreds of feet through the air by Zi Yan's punch.
Zi Yan waved her little fist excitedly and said, "Hehe, the boss is mine now!"
