On the other side, Aofeng did not share Aotian's good fortune. After all, the Transformation Technique within Aotian was an extraordinary power capable of neutralizing the Fire Energy. While this was somewhat astonishing, it was not beyond belief.
However, Aofeng practiced genuine Mystical Energy. Therefore, when the Overbearing Force unleashed by Aotian surged into him, his fate was already sealed!
Aofeng weakly supported himself on the ground with both hands, glaring at Aotian with eyes full of resentment, as if Aotian were his sworn enemy. If Aofeng could move at that moment, Aotian had no doubt he would rush forward to perish alongside him.
Suddenly, a figure in a black robe flew from the stands to Aofeng's side, grabbing his wrist with a firm grip. The figure's eyes were slightly closed, seemingly sensing something.
Suddenly, the figure's eyes snapped open, and the murderous intent within them felt palpable as they spoke with a voice filled with immense rage:
"You little beast, I will kill you!"
As soon as the words left their mouth, a fierce force shot toward Aotian like the scythe of death aimed at his vital points.
At that moment, Aotian was exhausted after his match with Aofeng. Coupled with his meridians being severely burned and distorted by the Fire Energy, he had no strength left to resist this fierce attack and could only watch helplessly as it flew toward him.
Just as the force was about to strike Aotian, a deep voice suddenly rang out:
"Ao Gong, how dare you lay hands on a junior of the family!"
A wave of Mystical Energy shot down from the stands and instantly dispersed Ao Gong's attack aimed at Aotian.
Immediately after, Aotian appeared in front of Aofeng, his eyes glinting coldly as he stared at Ao Gong. It seemed that if Ao Gong did not provide an explanation today, this matter would not end well.
"I have such audacity? Brother, this little beast is unruly; not only did he injure Aofeng, but he also completely wasted years of Aofeng's hard-earned Mystical Energy. At such a young age, his methods are so ruthless; he will surely become a disaster in the future! Shouldn't he be punished?" Ao Gong shouted angrily, his face flushed.
Aotian's expression darkened as his chest heaved with suppressed anger:
"Ao Gong, you keep calling him a little beast; do you even acknowledge me as your elder brother? As the head of this family?"
The surrounding warriors watched in silence as the two "brothers" on the Training Platform argued fiercely. Many couldn't help but feel uneasy and some quietly left the Aojia out of fear of being caught in the crossfire. Of course, there were also those filled with curiosity who stayed behind to see how things would unfold.
Ao Gong waved his sleeve and snorted angrily:
"You and I are not much different in cultivation. If I insist on crippling his abilities, you won't be able to stop me! Therefore, today you must hand over that little brat so I can personally cripple him as a punishment!"
"I want to see how you plan to cripple my son's abilities!" Aotian's Mystical Energy surged within him, accompanied by faint flickers of electricity that resonated deeply.
Ao Gong's pupils constricted as he exclaimed, "Mystical Energy? Have you broken through to the Three Spirits Realm?!"
Although Innate Realm warriors can easily injure others from a distance, they are undoubtedly worlds apart from those in the Three Spirits Realm. A warrior at the Three Spirits Realm can wipe out a large number of Innate Realm warriors with just a wave of their hand. If Aotian has truly broken through to the Three Spirits Realm, then Ao Gong's ambitions would be completely shattered.
Aotian snorted coldly and said, "I'm only at Half-Step Human Spirit. If you think our strengths are still comparable, then feel free to give it a try!"
Ao Gong's face alternated between green and red, and the fear in his eyes was evident. Although Half-Step Human Spirit is not yet a true Three Spirits Realm, it is not far off. With his Innate Nine Levels cultivation, he would likely be taken down in an instant.
Just as Ao Gong was hesitating, Ao Yu stepped onto the stage with a broad smile, though beneath that smile lay an icy chill: "Father, you shouldn't interfere in matters between juniors. Why not let me spar with my cousin Aotian?"
Upon hearing Ao Yu's words, a sinister smile suddenly appeared on Ao Gong's face: "Elder brother, let Aotian compete with Ao Yu. Why must we elders always intervene?"
Just as Aotian was about to speak, a calm and delicate voice slowly rang out: "Uncle makes a valid point. In that case, let me spar with my cousin Ao Yu."
A graceful figure appeared before everyone. The young girl had a somewhat youthful face but was now filled with frost, instilling fear in those who looked upon her. Yet her elegant demeanor was enough to draw countless admirers.
The newcomer was none other than Aoyan!
When Ao Yu saw Aoyan, a flicker of hidden passion flashed in his eyes. However, after witnessing Aoyan's next move, his expression immediately darkened.
Aoyan said she wanted to compete with Ao Yu, then without even glancing at him, she walked straight to Aotian's side, supporting him. The frost on her face quickly melted away as she softly asked,
"Aotian, are you okay?"
A faint fragrance wafted through the air. Looking closely at Aoyan's stunning beauty, Aotian couldn't help but be momentarily stunned.
"Fool, what are you staring at?" Aoyan playfully pouted, her cheeks slightly flushed. She looked just like a little wife.
Beside them, Ao Yu couldn't help but feel a surge of jealousy. He shouted angrily at Aotian,
"Aotian, if you have the guts, let's have a competition. Don't act like a coward!"
"If we’re competing, I’ll compete with you!" Aoyan said coldly, her gaze icy as she stared at Ao Yu.
Ao Yu and Aoyan locked eyes for a moment and instinctively took a step back, fear evident in his eyes.
After all, Ao Yu was only at the First Layer of Innate while Aoyan was truly at the Innate Fivefold.
"It seems you really are just like Aofeng said, hiding behind a woman!" Ao Yu gritted his teeth and said.
"You..." Just as Aoyan was about to retort, Aotian grabbed the girl’s delicate wrist and shot a piercing look at Ao Yu.
"This year’s Annual Meeting, I will personally defeat you!"
Upon hearing this, Ao Yu couldn't help but sneer,
"Fine, with less than ten months until the Annual Meeting, if you can defeat me, I will let you do as you wish. But if you fail, stay away from Aoyan!"
Aotian was slightly taken aback and turned to look at Aoyan. He saw her face flushed red, her hands fidgeting as she didn’t know where to place them.
Aotian smiled faintly in his heart and then looked back at Ao Yu and said,
"As you wish!"
Ao Yu curled his lips into a cold smile. He couldn't believe that someone could break through to the innate level in just ten months. Even if Aotian regained his previous Monster talent, it was impossible. Therefore, in Ao Yu's eyes, this bet was undoubtedly a loss for Aotian!
"Father, let's put this matter aside for now. In ten months, I will seek justice for you!" Ao Yu said to Ao Gong.
Although Ao Gong was very reluctant, he had Aotian and Aoyan protecting him, and there was nothing he could do about it. Thus, he could only glare at Aotian with a sinister look, pick up the unconscious Aofeng from the ground, and disappear from everyone's sight in a flash.
Ao Yu also cast a cold glance at Aotian before slowly walking off the stage.
The first place in this year's Aotian Family Test Tournament was claimed by Aotian! Thus, the Aotian Family Test Tournament finally came to an end.
"Impressive! I didn't expect him to actually win the championship!"
"Did you hear? Aotian and Ao Yu are going to face off at this year's Annual Meeting. Haha, there will be a good show to watch then!"
"Hehe, I think Aotian might be in trouble..."
"How could that be? I believe Young Master Aotian will definitely defeat Ao Yu..."
