"Let the duel begin!"
With the elder's command, the three members of Aotian shot towards the center of the Dueling Platform simultaneously. In an instant, they collided fiercely.
"Boom!"
A terrifying wave of energy spread out from the center of the Dueling Platform, causing dust on the stage to be blown away, revealing a smooth surface beneath.
Meanwhile, the Dueling Platform beneath Aotian's feet began to crack slowly.
Then, the three launched their attacks, targeting each other's vital points. Fists, feet, palms, elbows, and fingers transformed into the sharpest weapons imaginable, clashing against one another.
From a distance, the scene appeared chaotic. Sometimes Aotian would strike Luo Yiqiang, who would then retaliate against Han Kong, while Han Kong targeted Aotian in return.
The positions of attack and defense shifted rapidly, leaving spectators dazzled.
Even so, those watching were filled with excitement, eager to jump into the fray themselves.
The three members of Aotian could truly be called "Dragons and Tigers." Although their battle was somewhat chaotic, it was a genuine Dragon-Tiger Contest.
As a result, everyone watched intently, seemingly afraid to miss any detail.
Suddenly, Aotian let out a fierce shout and evaded Luo Yiqiang's whip kick and Han Kong's knife hand with a mysterious maneuver.
Then, Aotian infused power into his legs and delivered a powerful kick towards both Luo Yiqiang and Han Kong.
In a moment of urgency, the two could only cross their arms in defense, directing their crossed arms towards Aotian's fierce kick.
"Thud thud!"
Two dull thuds echoed, and everyone saw Luo Yiqiang and Han Kong being kicked back a few steps by Aotian, dissipating the force of Aotian's attack.
Of course, at the point where Luo Yiqiang's hands crossed, there was also a rebound force directed at Aotian. However, Aotian executed a beautiful aerial flip and landed steadily on the Dueling Platform.
The entire movement was fluid and graceful, prompting cheers from the students below.
The "big shots" on the high platform couldn't help but express their admiration. It was clear to anyone that Aotian had gained a significant advantage against both Luo Yiqiang and Han Kong simultaneously.
This outcome was indeed somewhat unexpected. However, this did not mean that Aotian could easily defeat Luo Yiqiang and Han Kong; it was mainly because they were caught off guard that Aotian had the upper hand. Moving forward, Luo Yiqiang and Han Kong would certainly be more cautious, making it much harder for Aotian to maintain his advantage.
After retreating several steps, Luo Yiqiang and Han Kong steadied themselves, their faces alternating between pale and flushed.
Considering that they were the two strongest among the Inner Academy Students, finding themselves at a disadvantage against Aotian's attack was naturally embarrassing. This made both of them extremely frustrated.
Subsequently, Luo Yiqiang and Han Kong exchanged glances and simultaneously charged at Aotian, clearly intending to diminish his momentum.
Originally, the three were in a competitive struggle with one another, but Aotian's sudden advantage prompted Luo Yiqiang and Han Kong to unite against him, seeking to redeem their honor.
If Aotian knew that his momentary victory had caused both Luo Yiqiang and Han Kong to target him together, he would likely have mixed feelings.
Regardless of what Aotian thought, he had to counterattack now. Luo Yiqiang and Han Kong were already close; if he remained passive any longer, he would likely be kicked off the platform.
Just narrowly avoiding a gust from Luo Yiqiang's palm strike, Aotian threw a punch at the approaching Han Kong.
As their fists collided, both Aotian and Han Kong staggered back from the force of their mutual attacks.
At that moment, Luo Yiqiang's Mystical Energy had already enveloped his palm as he struck fiercely toward Aotian's shoulder.
At this moment, Aotian had not yet stabilized his footing when he was struck by Luo Yiqiang. Instantly, his face turned pale.
Then, Aotian endured the pain surging from his shoulder and executed a sweeping kick, forcing Luo Yiqiang to retreat helplessly.
At that moment, Han Kong followed up, but instead of attacking Aotian, he unleashed a fierce gust of wind aimed at the side of Luo Yiqiang.
Before Luo Yiqiang could regain his balance after retreating, he was hit by Han Kong. Immediately, his face also turned visibly pale, and he staggered back several steps.
In the end, the three stood firm once again, returning to their previous "horned formation."
The spectators below were mesmerized; the battle among Aotian and the others on the Dueling Platform had indeed left them in awe.
Meanwhile, the three on stage were filled with complex thoughts. In their eyes, the strength of the other two was truly formidable.
Especially Aotian, who realized through their exchanges that both Luo Yiqiang and Han Kong were extraordinary. These two were merely a step away from the late stage of the Human Spirit Realm, making it quite difficult for him to defeat them.
Of course, it would not be easy for them to defeat him either. Thus, the three fell into a stalemate.
Time passed quietly. Suddenly, a glint flashed in the eyes of all three simultaneously, followed by a long howl.
Instantly, three howls echoed like rolling thunder. Then, three terrifying pillars of energy shot into the sky at once, releasing a heavy pressure that spread outwards. The ground of the Dueling Platform began to crack under the immense pressure.
"Boom boom boom"
Suddenly, the three energy pillars crashed toward the center of the Dueling Platform at an astonishing speed. Even the surrounding air erupted with explosive sounds that resonated deeply.
"Bang"
In an instant, three beams of energy collided violently, and a blinding light radiated from the point of impact, causing everyone in the Duel Arena to involuntarily close their eyes slightly.
The strength of Aotian and his two companions was already extremely formidable, and the energy beams they unleashed with all their might were terrifyingly powerful.
As the three energy beams collided, the stone in the center of the Dueling Platform shattered explosively, revealing a deep pit that caught everyone's attention.
Although Aotian had the lowest strength among the three, his Transformation Technique was exceptionally peculiar. Therefore, when the energy beams first collided, Aotian seemed to be at a disadvantage. However, as time passed, the other two beams were gradually assimilated, and eventually, Aotian's beam began to overpower both of them.
"Shatter!"
Suddenly, Aotian let out a furious roar. Instantly, the other two energy beams exploded violently, turning into countless specks of light.
Luo Yiqiang and Han Kong could not help but spit out mouthfuls of blood, their faces turning pale rapidly.
Meanwhile, the energy beam emitted by Aotian slowly returned to his body under the astonished gazes of everyone.
The entire Duel Arena fell into a momentary silence before erupting into sounds of disbelief.
