Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

As a result, Lin Yan's strength as a four-star Dou Huang has remained until now, naturally attracting everyone's attention.

After all, anyone on the field could easily defeat Lin Yan, and it would be difficult for a four-star Dou Huang to stand among a group of high-level Dou Huangs in such a grand event as this without attracting attention.

The remaining people in the square all focused their attention on Lin Yan, including the disciples of the four Venerables, who looked at Lin Yan with surprise.

They never expected that Lin Yan would actually get to this point.

Just as everyone was watching Lin Yan, one of the young men dressed in red took the lead and charged towards Lin Yan's position. The young man in red was an eight-star Dou Huang, and among the remaining people, he was not weak.

Seeing the red-clad youth's actions, the others tacitly refrained from making a move. Clearly, they all wanted to eliminate Lin Yan, the weakest among them, and simply watched coldly.

Lin Yan sensed the aura emanating from the young man in red, and his expression changed slightly.

Although he was able to hold out until now in the chaotic battle thanks to his movement techniques, he mainly relied on his movement skills to take advantage of the confusion.

Now, facing a genuine eight-star Dou Huang prodigy, Lin Yan's weaknesses became apparent.

The young man in red, wielding a large knife, charged directly at Lin Yan, swinging the knife with great force as he repeatedly slashed at Lin Yan.

Lin Yan sensed the opponent's fierce aura, gritted his teeth, raised the spear in his hand, and held it in front of him.

"boom!"

The broadsword slashed down on the spear, and in the blink of an eye, Lin Yan was forced back several steps. The immense force from the blow left him no chance to retaliate...

Realizing the difference in strength between himself and his opponent, Lin Yan decided not to make another move. Instead, he used his movement skills to try and widen the distance between himself and the young man in red.

However, at this moment, the one-on-one situation was confined to the plaza, with other contestants surrounding Lin Yan subtly blocking his position, making it increasingly difficult for him to maneuver...

The young man in red swung his broadsword, slashing at Lin Yan's position time and time again. Although Lin Yan narrowly dodged each attack, he was forced to retreat again and again, constantly being pushed back by the young man in red.

Seeing that his broadsword couldn't hit Lin Yan, the red-clad youth remained calm, simply gradually shrinking the space Lin Yan could maneuver in...

"He wanted to force Lin Yan closer to Wang Chen's location..."

At the top of the silver tree, Xiao Yan frowned as he watched the scene in the square. He could only watch as Lin Yan retreated continuously under the attacks of the red-clothed youth.

Lin Yan also realized the red-clad youth's plan at this moment; he wanted to use someone else to do his dirty work!

However, Lin Yan was helpless at this moment. His movement technique was not omnipotent. Facing the red-clothed youth who was an eight-star Dou Huang, there was only so much Lin Yan could do. Every time he dodged, the red-clothed youth's big knife would stick to him like a leech and slash at him.

Time and again, Lin Yan tried to break through the red-clad youth's blockade, but each time he was stopped by the youth's attacks.

Under pressure from the other side, Lin Yan's figure also approached Wang Chen's location.

Wang Chen watched Lin Yan approach, his eyes narrowing slightly, a hint of excitement flashing in them. He kept his gaze fixed on Lin Yan, remaining on the stage without a chance to make a move. Wang Chen had long been unable to contain his temper, but the others had already deliberately avoided him. If he made the first move, he would probably incur the wrath of the crowd, so Wang Chen restrained himself.

Seeing Lin Yan being forced closer to him by the young man in red, Wang Chen's face showed a hint of excitement.

Finally, the young man in red slashed down, the powerful force sending Lin Yan staggering back several steps, stepping into the circle where Wang Chen was.

"not good!"

Lin Yan turned around as the red-clad youth slashed down with his sword, and then felt the attack aura coming from behind him. A look of surprise appeared on his face. He forcibly twisted his body and then saw a black streak shooting straight towards his throat.

Sensing the ferocity of the attack, Lin Yan knew that none of the remaining people on the field were people he could defeat. He had only participated in this tournament to hone his skills, and he was not about to seek death.

"Stop! I give up!"

Realizing the power of the black ribbon, Lin Yan didn't hesitate to loudly admit defeat.

However............

Hearing Lin Yan admit defeat, Wang Chen's movements did not stop at all, and the black streak he emitted still shot towards Lin Yan's throat.

Wang Chen ignored Lin Yan's words of surrender. He was bloodthirsty and murderous by nature. Since he had already made his move, how could he stop without drawing blood?

"Damn it, you shameless bastard!"

Feeling Wang Chen's relentless attacks, Lin Yan's face showed a hint of annoyance, and he couldn't help but curse at Wang Chen.

Immediately, at the crucial moment, Lin Yan once again used his strange but ugly movement technique. His body moved a little, and the black blade that was originally aimed at his throat ended up hitting his shoulder, bringing a splash of blood. Lin Yan's figure flew backward and landed on the ground, then slid more than ten meters away.

A series of soft boos came from the sidelines as Wang Chen attacked.

Lin Yan's strength was already weaker than Wang Chen's. Faced with the red-clothed youth's coercion, he entered Wang Chen's attack range. Not only did Wang Chen take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, but even after Lin Yan realized the situation and took the initiative to admit defeat, Wang Chen still relentlessly tried to kill Lin Yan. Such despicable methods naturally made everyone feel that he was somewhat despicable.

On the plaza, Wang Chen watched as Lin Yan collapsed to the ground, coughing up blood. Perhaps because of Lin Yan's outburst of curses, Wang Chen's killing intent was aroused. He had no intention of stopping there. With a swift movement, two black daggers slid from his sleeves, fell into his hands, and he gripped them tightly. He then approached Lin Yan on the ground again, and swung the daggers directly at Lin Yan's chest.

"That bastard Wang Chen has utterly disgraced the Yellow Springs Pavilion! Everyone else has already admitted defeat, yet he still insists on killing them!"

Even though Lin Yan had just conceded defeat, Wang Chen still went for the kill, which only drew boos from the crowd. Now, Wang Chen's renewed attack on Lin Yan clearly enraged the crowd, and some hot-tempered onlookers even started cursing.

This was not a life-or-death battle, just a competition. Lin Yan's perseverance with his weak strength had already earned him everyone's admiration. Seeing Wang Chen's behavior at this moment, they were naturally furious.

Ignoring the curses from the sidelines, Wang Chen appeared not far from Lin Yan, his dagger poised to strike Lin Yan's chest, who was completely defenseless.

"Am I going to die here...?"

Sensing Wang Chen's killing intent, Lin Yan's face showed a hint of regret. He wanted to dodge again, but Wang Chen's previous attack had already severely injured him, and he had no time to mobilize his battle qi to evade Wang Chen's attack...

Lin Yan murmured to himself. Just as he was about to close his eyes and await death, he felt a suction force coming from behind him. Immediately, Lin Yan's body was pulled back involuntarily. Then, Lin Yan felt a warm hand on his shoulder.

Just as Lin Yan was wondering, a voice that was both strange and familiar came from behind him, pulling him back to his senses.

"Hey, why are you getting involved in a place like this all the time..."

P.S. Eighth update! No need to say anything else, brothers, you have to support me! This is all written on the fly. At the end of the last chapter, I'll post today's writing log in the comments section. No backlog, no backlog, every chapter is written and posted immediately!!!

Chapter 105 Entrance [Nine Updates]

Hearing the familiar voice behind him, Lin Yan turned his head slightly and saw Xiao Yan's signature smile.

Upon seeing this, Lin Yan's face showed a hint of excitement, and he asked in surprise, "You... how did you end up here?"

Then, Lin Yan looked behind Xiao Yan and asked, "Are you alone?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan shook his head slightly, glanced at the audience seats in the distance with a pout, and Lin Yan also spotted Xiao Fan and Zi Yan in the distance, a hint of excitement on his face.

"I didn't expect you to bring that brute force king along..."

Xiao Yan intervened because he had received Xiao Fan's approval. His senior brother had just said that no matter what trouble he caused, he would protect him during the assembly...

Xiao Yan's sudden intervention surprised everyone. Everyone could see that Xiao Yan had rushed out from the stands and rescued Lin Yan from Wang Chen with lightning speed. The Fenglei Pavilion disciples around the square hadn't reacted yet, but now they all surrounded him, their wings on their backs forming a tight circle around him, their eyes coldly fixed on Xiao Yan.

"Boy, who are you, and why are you disrupting the Four Directions Pavilion gathering?"

Hearing the Fenglei Pavilion disciples' questioning, Xiao Yan remained calm, shielding Lin Yan behind him, and said loudly, "The Four Directions Pavilion Tournament has long had rules: once someone admits defeat, they are not allowed to make another move. However, after my friend admitted defeat, Wang Chen disregarded everything and made repeated attacks, each one aimed at killing. In my opinion, it is Wang Chen who is breaking the rules of the Fenglei Pavilion! Why are you all asking me instead of questioning Wang Chen?"

Faced with Xiao Yan's questioning, the disciples of Fenglei Pavilion who had surrounded him were also at a loss. They exchanged glances, unsure of what to do.

After all, Xiao Yan's words were true. To be honest, Wang Chen, by disregarding the rules of the Four Directions Pavilion Tournament and attacking someone who had already conceded defeat, was the one who disrupted the tournament. However, the other party was a disciple of Venerable Huangquan; how could he be treated like an ordinary person? But at this point, they couldn't refute him, otherwise it would completely confirm the fact that the Wind and Thunder Pavilion was biased…

"What, aren't you all going to arrest Wang Chen yet?"

Xiao Yan looked at the disciples of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion with an indifferent tone.

"Heh, just a piece of trash who got to where he is today by luck. Killing him is no big deal."

Wang Chen looked at Xiao Yan, his two black daggers rubbing together, making a grating sound. He suddenly spoke, interrupting Xiao Yan.

Upon hearing Wang Chen's words, Xiao Yan stared at him with a chilling gaze, a hint of disdain on his lips, and said, "Heh, so this is all the people from the Yellow Springs Pavilion are capable of... If you didn't have the name of the Yellow Springs Pavilion, you'd probably be dead by now..."

Hearing Xiao Yan's undisguised contempt, Wang Chen exuded a strong killing intent, staring at Xiao Yan with a cold and sinister gaze.

The other contestants remaining in the square looked at Xiao Yan with some surprise upon hearing his words, but then shook their heads.

Although Wang Chen was indeed in the wrong, Xiao Yan was not a wise person to openly provoke the Yellow Springs Pavilion here.

At this moment, Xiao Yan's displayed strength was only at the peak of the Dou Huang realm. Looking at Xiao Yan's strength, everyone realized his talent was comparable to Wang Chen and the others; it was just a pity that his temperament...

"Hehe, kid, what about the Yellow Springs Pavilion is none of your business as a junior. I wonder who your teacher is? Since he was able to teach such an arrogant disciple as you, he must have some skill!" At this moment, the Yellow Springs Venerable spoke in a sinister tone from the seat above, questioning Xiao Yan with a hint of chill in his voice.

Meanwhile, Venerable Huangquan was probing Xiao Yan's aura when he discovered that Xiao Yan's strength was enveloped by a ball of scorching energy, which even he could not fully discern.

Not only Venerable Huangquan, but also Venerable Lei, Venerable Jian, and Venerable Feng felt the same way at this moment, and for a moment, a sense of curiosity about Xiao Yan arose in their hearts.

"I'm just stating the facts. Wang Chen disrupted the rules of the conference in full view of everyone, and the other three Venerables also witnessed it. As for who is right and who is wrong, I believe everyone can make their own judgment."

Faced with the questioning from Venerable Huangquan, Xiao Yan remained neither humble nor arrogant, and spoke in front of everyone. In an instant, everyone couldn't help but admire Xiao Yan more.

Daring to face a Dou Zun powerhouse in such a setting, neither humble nor arrogant, and confronting a Dou Zun for the sake of his friend, coupled with the fact that Wang Chen's previous actions had already angered everyone, Xiao Yan's goodwill towards the crowd increased dramatically.

"Humph."

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Venerable Huangquan waved his sleeve and said to Venerable Lei, "Venerable Lei, you're sharp-tongued. Let's deal with these minor troubles and not let them affect the proceedings of the conference."

Upon hearing Venerable Huangquan's words, Venerable Lei tapped the armrest lightly with his fingers, then turned his gaze to Venerable Jian and Venerable Feng, and asked, "Gentlemen, what are your thoughts?"

Lei Zun Zhe did not want to antagonize Huang Quan Zun Zhe, but if he did not punish him, wouldn't that be telling everyone that Feng Lei Ge was unfair? So he turned the conversation to Feng Zun Zhe and Jian Zun Zhe.

Upon hearing Lei Zun Zhe's question, Feng Zun Zhe and Jian Zun Zhe exchanged a glance and were about to speak when Huang Quan Zun Zhe said, "This person is lawless. In my opinion, he should be given fifty strokes of the cane and thrown off Lei Mountain."

"Heh, are you trying to tarnish Venerable Lei's reputation for being unfair?"

Upon hearing this, Venerable Wind spoke up directly, blocking Venerable Yellow Springs' suggestion, and his face revealed a perfectly timed hint of disdain.

Upon hearing this, Venerable Huangquan's face stiffened.

"In my opinion, although this person broke into the conference, he did have a reason for it. It was Wang Chen who violated the rules of the conference first, and this person was also eager to save people. Why don't we each take a step back, let him leave with his friends, and let the conference continue?"

Lei Zunzhe listened to the two men's words and a smile appeared on his face. These two were clearly trying to kick the Yellow Springs Pavilion while it was down...

However, this was Wang Chen's fault to begin with. Unlike the Yellow Springs Pavilion, his Wind and Thunder Pavilion still paid great attention to his reputation. Thunder Venerable showed a hint of apology to Yellow Springs Venerable and was about to speak.

"Since that's the case..."

Seeing Lei Zunzhe's expression, Huang Quan Zunzhe's face darkened. He then spoke before Lei Zunzhe could, looking at Xiao Yan below, "Since you say Wang Chen has only persisted this long because of Huang Quan Pavilion's name, why don't you have a match with Wang Chen? If you win, you can leave with your friends, how about that?"
