229. A contest of agility
Xiao Yan's commonly used movement technique is not the Explosive Step, but the low-level Earth Rank technique - Three Thousand Thunder Movement!
Faced with Lin Yan's tricky movement techniques, even with his soul power and richer combat experience, Xiao Yan was still unable to catch Lin Yan after compressing his strength to a low-star Dou Huang.
"Watch out!"
So, as the thunder roared, Xiao Yan also transformed into a silver afterimage and disappeared from the spot.
Lin Yan's eyes widened instantly, and in the blink of an eye, he twisted his body twice, dodging Xiao Yan's two sudden attacks!
"So fast!"
The same thought crossed their minds: Xiao Yan lamented that even after using the Three Thousand Thunderbolts technique, he still failed to attack Lin Yan, while Lin Yan was amazed by Xiao Yan's speed.
Xiao Yan did not stop; instead, he increased his speed to an even higher level, leaving behind only afterimages throughout the entire training ground.
Lin Yan also opened his mouth and continuously released deep sound waves to determine Xiao Yan's location.
The next moment, something surprising happened to Lin Yan: he discovered that the echo was somewhat chaotic!
Xiao Yan was consciously interfering with the sound waves he was releasing, using the speed of the Three Thousand Thunderbolts to constantly appear in multiple locations around him. The return of the sound waves was no longer precise, and for the first time in battle, Lin Yan hesitated!
I don't know how to hide!
Lin Yan, as expected of an outstanding student cultivated by the inner court of Canaan Academy, immediately thought of a way to break the deadlock under Xiao Yan's pressure!
He moved towards a safe location, not seeking to precisely dodge Xiao Yan's attacks, but only hoping that Xiao Yan's attacks would not land on him.
Then a comical scene unfolded on the martial arts stage, with Lin Yan resembling a fat duck that had fallen into a mud pit, constantly rubbing and writhing on the floor.
It looked extremely ugly, and Xiao Yan's afterimages kept following Lin Yan, making it seem as if several identical Xiao Yans were chasing a giant duck at the same time!
At this moment, Lin Yan was also helpless. Under such high speed, he dared not stop to fight Xiao Yan. After all, although the Bat Duck Fire-Avoiding Step was of a higher level, its focus was on dodging.
If Lin Yan were to go head-to-head with Xiao Yan, the one who would truly suffer would be Lin Yan!
At this moment, Han Yue and Yan Zhi, the Dou Huang of the Han family, were almost stunned, because even they found that they could not keep up with the two on the stage after Xiao Yan used the Three Thousand Thunderbolts!
It's not that I can't keep up with the fight, it's that I can't even follow it with my eyes anymore!
Han Yue couldn't help but wonder to herself how many moves she could withstand against Xiao Yan like this.
I'm afraid not even one move will work!
Han Yue looked at Xiao Yan on the martial arts stage with mixed feelings. As expected of the genius who was able to take Senior Sister Zi Yan away just a few years ago! Xiao Yan lives up to the name of genius he created.
Han Chi also appeared on the sidelines at this time, watching the fierce battle on the stage.
Han Yue and Yan Zhi immediately bowed to Han Chi, but Han Chi simply waved casually, his eyes fixed on Xiao Yan and Lin Yan on the stands.
"What's wrong with Father?" Han Yue, being perceptive, immediately noticed that something was off about her father's expression.
"Why does Xiao Yan's movement technique look so familiar?" Han Chi murmured unconsciously.
The battle on the stands was drawing to a close. Blocked by Xiao Yan's numerous afterimages, Lin Yan constantly dodged and weaved. Finally, under Xiao Yan's relentless pressure, he moved in one direction and ultimately fell off the martial arts stage.
Lin Yan and Xiao Yan stopped fighting at the same time, and Lin Yan let out a long sigh of relief. He then clasped his hands in a fist salute to Xiao Yan and said, "A bet is a bet, and Brother Xiao Yan is indeed beyond my reach!"
In their exchange just now, both of them tacitly refrained from using offensive tactics, opting instead to purely test their speed, agility, and fighting skills.
Lin Yan knew that the first attack he faced was Xiao Yan's true strength. If Xiao Yan hadn't actively suppressed his strength, even with his mid-level Earth-rank movement and fighting techniques, he wouldn't have been able to withstand three moves from Xiao Yan.
No matter how powerful a fighting technique is, it still requires the support of one's own strength. In the face of Xiao Yan's soul power, which is as vast as a giant wave and a mountain, he would have no chance.
The situation just now proved that even though Xiao Yan was also a Dou Huang, his speed was in no way inferior to his own. He had been constantly pressured by Xiao Yan, and in the end, he had no choice but to fall off the martial arts stage.
Xiao Yan replied with a smile, "I never managed to touch you from beginning to end, so it can only be considered a draw."
Just now, Xiao Yan had almost exhausted all his strength at the level of a low-star Dou Huang to unleash the Three Thousand Thunderclaps. Although it looked intimidating, he actually couldn't touch Lin Yan. A mid-level Earth-rank movement technique still has its special features. Its versatility may not be as good as the Three Thousand Thunderclaps, but its role in battle is still stronger.
Han Yue clapped and said, "Wonderful! This competition has truly broadened my horizons!"
Han Yue and Yan Zhi had both suffered greatly at Lin Yan's hands, and now seeing Xiao Yan using his speed to force Lin Yan to his feet, they felt a sense of satisfaction that someone had finally gotten revenge.
Han Chi then asked Xiao Yan, "Brother Xiao Yan, was that movement technique you just used the Three Thousand Thunder Movement?"
"good."
Upon seeing Xiao Yan admit it, Han Yue and Yan Zhi looked at him with surprise. They had only thought Xiao Yan's movement technique was quite mysterious, but they did not expect it to be the signature movement technique of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, the Three Thousand Thunder Movement.
Han Chi said with concern, "From now on, Brother Xiao Yan must remember not to use this technique carelessly again."
Seeing Xiao Yan's confusion, Han Chi patiently explained, "The Three Thousand Thunder Movements has always been a closely guarded secret of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, and there were rumors recently that the Three Thousand Thunder Movements of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion were stolen."
Xiao Yan helplessly spread his hands and said, "I obtained these Three Thousand Thunderbolts at an auction, and that was several years ago."
Han Chi nodded and said, "I naturally believe you, but the four pavilions of Wind and Thunder are extremely careful in keeping the Three Thousand Thunder Movements safe, so it's best to use this skill in front of others as little as possible."
At the same time, Han Chi warned Han Yue and Yan Zhi, "You must not spread rumors at this time."
The two who had witnessed everything nodded, clearly understanding the seriousness of the matter.
Xiao Yan also expressed his gratitude to Han Chi, after all, he didn't know before that he couldn't use this skill indiscriminately.
Yao Lao didn't emphasize the matter of fighting skills to Xiao Yan either, which is understandable. After all, given Yao Lao's extraordinary status as an alchemist, even if the Wind and Thunder Pavilion knew that Yao Lao possessed the Three Thousand Thunder Techniques, they wouldn't blame him in any way.
No force would willingly offend a grandmaster of alchemy like Master Yao without a good reason.
