BTTH: Starting with the Complete Memories of Yao Chen

Chapter 132: The End of the Inner Academy Selection Tournament

Without using any Dou techniques, Su Yun's momentum surged instantly as he charged wildly toward Lin Xiuya!

In just a flash, Su Yun had already appeared in front of Lin Xiuya. With a simple forward motion of his right hand, he swung at Lin Xiuya's flamboyant face.

But this simple action caused cold sweat to break out on Lin Xiuya’s forehead.

So fast! There was no time to react!

Lin Xiuya's Dou Qi frantically surged within him, the Dou Qi crystal in his dantian acting like a fountain, with his meridians as channels, sending Dou Qi continuously throughout his body.

But against absolute speed, Lin Xiuya's actions were futile.

Before Lin Xiuya could even move, Su Yun's fist had already struck.

With just one punch, Lin Xiuya was sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground.

Struggling to stand, Lin Xiuya's handsome and elegant face now bore a large bruise.

At that moment, Su Yun appeared in front of Lin Xiuya again, his fist as large as a sandbag descending once more.

Lin Xiuya's expression changed drastically, but he still couldn't react in time. The fist grew larger in his eyes, closer and closer.

Another bruise appeared on his face.

Su Yun didn't stop, his fists falling again, controlling his strength to avoid accidentally killing him.

"Stop... hitting... can't... take it... anymore..."

A quarter of an hour passed, and Su Yun stood up, stretching his muscles.

Phew.

That was quite satisfying.

The elders at the referee's seat twitched slightly, finding his methods rather cruel.

It was clear that these two had a grudge. Every time Lin Xiuya tried to admit defeat, his throat would receive a well-placed strike, cutting him off.

Slowly getting up from the ground, Lin Xiuya's face was a patchwork of blue and purple bruises, his once dashing face now swollen like a pig's head.

"Su Yun wins!"

As the referee announced the result, a few people outside the arena returned to the field.

Xiao Yixian lightly touched Su Yun's face, smiling mischievously at him.

"Big Brother is so strong."

"Of course."

Su Yun responded without a hint of modesty.

Then, Xiao Yixian issued a challenge to Su Yun, and Su Yun immediately conceded, standing on the side of the challengers.

Everyone else was stunned. You could do that?

The elder in the referee's seat also raised an eyebrow, a slight black line appearing on his face.

Indeed, the rules of this tournament had some loopholes.

But until now, no student had ever been strong enough to exploit them like this.

Everyone exchanged glances, but no one dared to say anything.

True, the girl was only a two-star Dou Master, not particularly powerful among the group, but with a strong brother protecting her, who would dare mess with her?

The rest of the competition continued with the other participants in the attack-and-defend battles.

Su Yun watched from the side, nodding secretly.

These people were undoubtedly the top talents of the Outer Academy.

Both Lin Xiuya and Liu Qing had shown combat power that allowed them to fight across two minor realms despite being at the Dou Master stage.

If not for using this method to help Xiao Yixian, and if she had been targeted as an easy pick and challenged multiple times, she might not have made it into the top ten.

Finally, as the competition neared its end, Su Yun casually picked an opponent and defeated him, securing a spot in the top five.

With only the final moments remaining, the five students who had yet to make it into the top five felt a sense of unwillingness.

This top five spot was more than just an empty title.

Each of the top five in every Inner Academy Selection Tournament was granted access to the Jia Nan Academy's library, where they could choose one of the academy's collections as a reward!

Jia Nan Academy was immensely powerful, and its collections were vast and rich.

Among them were earth-level techniques and Dou skills, as well as various rare treasures. If one were lucky enough to pick something suitable, it would undoubtedly be a great fortune.

At this moment, a three-star Dou Master gritted his teeth and set his sights on Xiao Yixian.

Su Yun glanced over indifferently.

If anyone thought that Xiao Yixian was merely a vase sheltered under his protection, they were gravely mistaken.

Seeing that she had been challenged, Xiao Yixian appeared eager to give it a try.

Even though she had participated in the practical combat courses of the Outer Academy, her battle experience was still somewhat lacking. After all, she had only been training for six months, and the Outer Academy had other courses, not to mention that students needed time for their own cultivation. Therefore, the practical combat classes weren't that frequent.

Once the battle began, the students from the Outer Academy finally witnessed Xiao Yixian's terrifying prowess.

Outside the arena, Lin Xiuya's face, swollen like a pig's head, showed a hint of seriousness.

Originally, he thought that aside from the abnormal Su Yun, he was undoubtedly the top contender in this year's Inner Academy Selection Tournament.

But now, he understood that he was wrong.

This girl, who was only a two-star Dou Master, displayed strength that was not at all inferior to that of a seven-star Dou Master!

The others were equally stunned, finding it hard to believe.

Even Hu Qian and the others let out small exclamations of surprise, feeling a bit astonished.

"This little girl actually possesses such combat power, though it seems she's been overly protected. The Dou techniques she's using are of a high level, but she seems a bit rusty with them," Elder Huo of the Alchemy Department remarked in amazement.

A trace of surprise also flickered across Hu Qian's face.

"This little girl's poison attribute Dou Qi is quite pure, and its toxicity is extremely high. It's strange; poison attribute practitioners generally suffer from the erosion of their bodies by their own poison attribute Dou Qi. This shouldn't be possible."

Elder Huo chuckled after hearing this.

"Old man, just say what you're thinking. There’s no one else around. But indeed, normally, a poison attribute practitioner’s body would be eroded by their own poison Dou Qi, so she shouldn't look so pretty."

After pondering for a moment, Elder Huo continued, "Either this girl has a special constitution with a high resistance to toxins, or she has been using specific medicinal pills to nourish her body. That kid Su Yun is quite generous; even if he's not an alchemist himself, he's clearly wealthy. It's probably the latter."

Hu Qian nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

Although Elder Huo was only at the peak of Dou King, as a fifth-tier alchemist, he had a deep understanding of such matters.

A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Yixian successfully defeated her opponent, a hint of joy flashing across her face.

After the referee announced the result, she quickly ran over to Su Yun, her eyes filled with expectation and pride.

Su Yun lightly tapped Xiao Yixian on the forehead.

Xiao Yixian smiled, then hugged Su Yun's arm.

With that, the Inner Academy Selection Tournament came to an end. Hu Qian gave a brief speech, offering some words of encouragement, and then instructed the top five students to rest well. In three days, they would enter the library.

The group dispersed.

Su Yun and Xiao Yixian approached Ruolin.

It wouldn’t be long before the two of them would head to the Inner Academy.

Ruolin extended her arms and hugged Xiao Yixian.

After the two women separated, Ruolin wore a playful smile.

"Come on, Su Yun, let's have a hug too."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yixian quickly turned around and hugged Su Yun tightly, her delicate and playful face burying itself in his chest like a little cat, nuzzling him.

After a moment, she turned her head, puffing out her cheeks, and looked at Ruolin with an angry pout.
