Chapter 256: Overwhelming Power!

Chapter 256: Overwhelming Power!

Hearing this voice, the crowd, puzzled, turned their gaze towards Zi Yan. When they realized the speaker was just a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, except for those who knew Zi Yan, the others who were unaware were completely dumbfounded. Who was this little girl who dared to speak to the Great Elder in such a manner, and even more audaciously, claimed she wanted everyone to come at her together?

Even some of the elders were quite surprised.

Although Zi Yan indeed held an advantage among the students, the remaining dozens of people on the strength leaderboard were not pushovers. Zi Yan's wish to defeat everyone at once seemed overly arrogant.

At this moment, Su Qian on the high platform chuckled bitterly and shook his head. He had noticed some changes in Zi Yan's strength, but he only knew that Zi Yan had recently broken through to the Dou King realm, unaware that her real realm had reached the peak of Dou King.

"Zi Yan, are you sure you want to fight them all at once?" Su Qian asked thoughtfully.

"Of course!" Zi Yan placed her hands on her hips and nodded vigorously, looking quite mature for her age.

"Since that's the case, I'll make an exception and let you try today. However, I have two conditions."

"Speak!" Zi Yan shrugged, indifferently.

Hearing the Great Elder actually agreed to the little girl's request, the vast majority of the audience was somewhat astonished.

The strength ranking competition had turned into a group of elites attacking a little girl.

The strongest reaction came from those who were about to become Zi Yan's opponents. Even Lin Xiuya, Liu Qing, and Yan Hao, who knew of Zi Yan's identity, couldn't help but frown.

"Strong as Zi Yan is, she shouldn't completely disregard us, right?"

"Yeah, she actually said she wanted to challenge everyone, as if we were ants?"

"Fellows, make sure not to hold back. If we lose this time, we'll lose all face."

Amidst a noisy buzz of discussion, Su Qian announced his two conditions for Zi Yan: "First, remember not to take lives; second, if you fail in your challenge, no matter what rank you end up with, there will be no rewards for you."

"Alright, hurry up and announce the start!" Zi Yan impatiently flicked her purple ponytail, grinding her neat and cute teeth against each other.

"Attention, all students on the strength leaderboard. You can now all join forces against Zi Yan. If you manage to defeat her together, then this ranking will have nothing to do with Zi Yan!" Su Qian's words reached every student's ears.

Hearing Su Qian's words, those on the strength leaderboard, especially those ranked higher, were even more excited.

If they could push Zi Yan down, the rewards they could get would definitely be much better than before.

Especially Lin Xiuya, who had always been overshadowed by Zi Yan. Now, with such an opportunity to push Zi Yan aside, the top reward could potentially be his.

With that thought, Lin Xiuya casually brushed his sleeve, discarding the bamboo stick he had drawn, as faint green Dou Qi circulated around his body.

Not far away, Liu Qing also looked serious as he raised his domineering spear.

Following these two, the others also took out their weapons.

On the field, Han Yue, wearing a silver dress, quietly retreated to the outskirts as everyone prepared to make their move.

Knowing Zi Yan's strength, even if she couldn't beat everyone, it wouldn't be a problem, but since Zi Yan was Gu He's disciple, and Han Yue might become Gu He's disciple in the future, Zi Yan would be her senior sister. Therefore, she had no intention of joining the battle.

"Come on!"

Zi Yan beckoned to the strong leaderboard experts with a hook of her finger, lightly lifted her foot, and then violently stomped on the dark floor.

Immediately, a crack half a foot wide spread towards the crowd on the hard floor.

Some of the weaker students, who had just broken through to the Dou Spirit realm, were directly blown away by the huge impact of the crack, shattering their Dou Qi armor, and flew backwards one after another.

Seeing Zi Yan take down three or four people with just one move, everyone felt a pang of panic.

Who could have imagined that a seemingly harmless little girl could strike with such fierceness? Moreover, many could tell that Zi Yan's kick did not use any Dou Qi, relying solely on her physical strength.

Lin Xiuya, though equally shocked by Zi Yan's strength, was not yet afraid. Smiling at Zi Yan, he said, "Senior Sister Zi Yan, it looks like you'll have to give up the first-place reward this time."

As his words fell, Lin Xiuya, along with Liu Qing and three other strong students, launched an attack on Zi Yan simultaneously.

Their attacks nearly covered all directions around Zi Yan, leaving her no room to dodge.

Just when Lin Xiuya was sure Zi Yan had to take at least one or two of the attacks, a scene that utterly shocked him unfolded.

A pair of faint purple wings sprouted from Zi Yan's back. Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, she flew directly into the air, and those terrifying attacks merely passed underneath her.

"Dou Qi wings, she's a Dou King powerhouse."

"Zi Yan has already broken through to the Dou King realm!"

Seeing Zi Yan fly into the air with purple wings on her back, everyone momentarily forgot to attack.

Zi Yan in the air didn't care about their hesitation. Swinging her small fists, she flew next to Lin Xiuya and, after holding back some of her strength, quickly struck him in the chest.

With just one punch, Lin Xiuya's Dou Qi armor instantly shattered, and he let out a scream before flying backward.

"Heh, and you thought you could take the first-place reward from me!" Laughing, Zi Yan didn't look at Lin Xiuya, who had been sent flying. Instead, she turned her gaze towards Liu Qing, who was holding a domineering black spear, and then gestured with her hand.

Just being glanced at by Zi Yan made Liu Qing's hand, holding the black spear, tremble uncontrollably.

"Senior Sister Zi Yan, please don't hit my face!"

Seeing Zi Yan flying towards him, Liu Qing prayed in his heart. Then, the originally upright and tough Liu Qing actually threw away his spear and covered his face with both hands in front of everyone.

Flying close, Zi Yan extended a finger and lightly flicked Liu Qing's forehead, immediately causing a quail egg-sized lump to appear.

"Ah!..."

In an instant, Liu Qing let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.

"How is this possible!"

"Zi Yan is already at the Dou King realm. Do these students still need to continue comparing themselves with her?"

Upon realizing Zi Yan's strength, several elders couldn't help but bitterly smile.
