"Hehe, you little bastard, today I'll make you regret this foolish decision."

Seeing Xiao Yan accept the challenge, Jia Lie Ao sneered coldly. A faint green Dou Qi rapidly condensed in his palms.

Standing still, without moving his body, Jia Lie Ao suddenly curled his palms into claw-like shapes. At his fingertips, faint green Dou Qi gathered into ten sharp spikes. With a vicious grin, he swung his claws, bringing a sharp whooshing sound as he fiercely attacked Xiao Yan.

In response, Xiao Yan activated the Dou Qi within his body, and without hesitation, the iron rod in his hand shot out like an arrow from a bow, aiming directly at Jia Lie Ao's head.

As the iron rod streaked toward him, Jia Lie Ao sneered with disdain. With a flick of his hand, he clenched his palm coated in green Dou Qi, causing a ripple in the air before him, where several small green whirlwinds appeared out of thin air.

As the iron rod passed through the whirlwinds, the force behind it was easily dissolved.

Without support, the iron rod fell powerlessly to the ground, landing with a crisp clang, less than half a meter away from Jia Lie Ao's head.

Seeing the battle between Xiao Yan and Jia Lie Ao begin, the onlookers all widened their eyes, closely watching the scene.

However, seeing Xiao Yan being pushed to a disadvantage, many in the crowd shook their heads in disappointment.

Xiao Yan's rise had been too brief; he was far from being a match for the older Jia Lie Ao. This challenge seemed like throwing an egg against a rock.

With this thought, their gazes shifted toward Mo Yu, hoping for some kind of surprise.

Unfazed by their expectations, Mo Yu calmly watched Xiao Yan retreat. No one understood Xiao Yan's strength better than he did.

This guy never revealed his full strength unless necessary.

"Hehe, don't bother watching anymore. Your Xiao family members are nothing but blowhards." Seeing Xiao Yan being overwhelmed by Jia Lie Ao, Liu Xi sneered and glanced disdainfully at Mo Yu.

In his view, Mo Yu would end up like Xiao Yan—defeated at his hands.

"You shouldn't be an alchemist; you'd make a better clown since your facial expressions are more impressive than your skills." Mo Yu's gaze, initially calm, now revealed a flicker of disgust as he looked at the mocking Liu Xi.

This kind of guy, who flaunted his little bit of strength, was really annoying.

"Let's hope your strength is as sharp as your tongue!" Liu Xi's eyes darkened as his right fist clenched. Red Dou Qi quickly gathered around it, forming a small vortex.

"Xuan Class, low-tier Dou Technique: Blazing Steel Fist!"

His fist brought with it a sharp wind-breaking sound as it tore through the air, accompanied by a massive wave of fiery pressure.

On the other side, sensing the overwhelming pressure coming toward him, Mo Yu remained calm. The Dou Qi in his body surged, and at the same time, fifteen thunder patterns blazed across his right arm.

"Thunder Body!"

With a serene expression, Mo Yu activated his Thunder Body as effortlessly as eating or drinking. Under the astonished gaze of the crowd, his fist met Jia Lie Ao's in a clash.

At the moment their fists collided, a surge of thunderous Dou Qi erupted from Mo Yu's arm, accompanied by a soft murmur that made Liu Xi's face change dramatically.

"Boom!" A muffled sound like rolling thunder spread from the point of contact.

"Crack!" The sound of bones breaking pierced through the air as Liu Xi's body was sent flying.

"Five-Star Dou Zhe?"

The surrounding mercenaries were stunned into silence as they looked at the fallen Liu Xi and the strength displayed by Mo Yu.

No one could have expected that Liu Xi, who had seemed to have the upper hand, would be sent flying with just one blow.

Even Xiao Yan and Jia Lie Ao paused their fight, both dumbfounded by what they were witnessing.

"Brother Mo Yu is seriously a freak," Xiao Yan muttered to himself.

Xiao Yu, standing nearby with her rosy lips slightly parted, was equally shocked by the sight of Liu Xi being easily defeated. She had believed that Mo Yu wouldn't lose, but she hadn't expected him to win so easily.

And the strength of a Five-Star Dou Zhe… Had his power increased that much?

Xun Er also looked at Mo Yu in surprise. This cousin, it seemed, had more secrets than just apprenticing under a mysterious weapon craftsman…

"Hmph, don't think you've won just yet!"

At that moment, Liu Xi, who had slowly stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with unquenchable hatred as he glared venomously at Mo Yu. Suddenly, with a wave of his right hand, a dark green flame appeared in his palm.

As soon as the flame appeared, the atmosphere in the arena grew tense. Some mercenaries, sensing the terrifying aura of the flame, retreated several steps.

"Is that… Beast Flame?" Mo Yu speculated, noticing the faint beastly aura emanating from the flame.

"Seems you know a bit," Liu Xi sneered. "This is 'Dark Wolf Flame,' a Beast Flame my master gave me when I advanced to a first-tier alchemist. Among Beast Flames, it's considered quite powerful. Today, dying under it is a privilege."

Though Liu Xi was in a sorry state, the hatred in his eyes burned even more fiercely.

Hearing Liu Xi boast so proudly, Mo Yu smiled faintly, a trace of contempt flashing across his face.

Even a common Heavenly Flame wouldn't faze him much, let alone this ordinary Beast Flame. Judging by its color and aura, it was barely notable among Beast Flames.

"Well, let's see what your Beast Flame can do," Mo Yu replied indifferently.

Seeing that Mo Yu didn't take his Dark Wolf Flame seriously, Liu Xi, who prided himself on the flame, was infuriated.

"Die, you damned bastard!"

With a roar, Liu Xi frantically drew upon the Dou Qi in his body, channeling it into the Dark Wolf Flame in his hand. As he did so, the flame became even darker and more menacing.

"Haha, die!"

Feeling the terrifying power of the flame in his palm, Liu Xi let out a maniacal laugh as he hurled the Beast Flame toward Mo Yu.

This man, who had humiliated him so thoroughly, had to die for him to quench the hatred in his heart.

As Liu Xi's ferocious attack approached, Mo Yu had to admit that when this lustful man fought for his life, he had some momentum. But that was all.

Seeing the dark green Beast Flame, a sudden desire welled up within Mo Yu—a desire to devour it.

"Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder!"

With a thought, a crimson lightning bolt flickered in Mo Yu's palm, and under his control, it shot straight toward the Dark Wolf Flame.

Seeing Mo Yu not dodge, but instead charge toward him, Liu Xi couldn't help but burst into maniacal laughter.

"Good! Come and die!"

As the master of the Dark Wolf Flame, no one knew better than him its terrifying power. Even a Dou Shi wouldn't dare face it head-on, so in his eyes, Mo Yu was simply seeking death.

As for the faint crimson lightning in Mo Yu's palm, he arrogantly ignored it.

However, before Liu Xi could laugh for long, as the Dark Wolf Flame collided with the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder, a sense of dread surged through him. He was horrified to feel a powerful force pulling the Beast Flame out of his control!

"Devour!"

The moment the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder clashed with the Beast Flame, Mo Yu commanded it to devour the flame.

Although the Thunder Soul was in its infancy, its power still surpassed that of an ordinary Beast Flame. Just as a high-level magical beast exerts dominance over lower-level ones, the Thunder Soul held a similar superiority over the Beast Flame.

Thus, under Mo Yu's control, the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder greedily devoured the Dark Wolf Flame bit by bit.

Initially, Mo Yu had thought he would need to use the Divine Might Black Thunder Spear from his ring to handle Liu Xi's attack. However, the Thunder Soul within him had signaled that it could devour the Beast Flame.

Delighted by this, Mo Yu immediately summoned the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder.

He could feel that the Thunder Soul had a ravenous desire for the Beast Flame, even more intense than its usual craving for magical cores.

Liu Xi also noticed this, and as his face turned pale, he desperately tried to pull the Beast Flame back. However, the situation had already spiraled out of his control. He could only stare at Mo Yu with eyes full of fear, as if he were seeing a demon.

"Haha, thank you for the gift, Liu Xi." Moments later, after fully devouring the Dark Wolf Flame and leaving a trace of hidden Thunder Soul within Liu Xi's body, Mo Yu retracted his Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder and smiled smugly at his opponent.
