In the arena, Xiao Yang's body, which was suddenly covered in blood, attracted the attention of the crowd on the viewing platform. Immediately, everyone's eyes were filled with astonishment as whispers rang out.
"Is that … Blood Rage …"
"Is this guy crazy? He actually cultivated such a thing. 'Blood Rage' is a secret technique that the clan forbids!"
"Although it's a restriction, it's just an unwritten rule on the surface and won't cause much of an impact. I didn't think that this guy would actually cultivate such a secret technique."
"Depending on the quality of the bloodline, the strength obtained after using 'Blood Rage' will be different. In the past, there were indeed many people who fought to cultivate it. However, ever since they knew that this thing would damage the quality of their bloodline, no one would take the initiative to cultivate it unless it was absolutely necessary."
On the viewing platform, some of the people who had some understanding of the secret technique that Xiao Yang was using could not help but sigh. They did not think that this guy would go to such an extent in order to compete for the position of Crown Prince.
Blood Rage was the top secret technique of the Xiao Clan. At its peak, it even surpassed the strength obtained from activating the bloodline. This also allowed the Xiao Clan to dominate the continent for a period of time. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they looked down on the world and looked down on all heroes.
However, it was also because of the existence of this strange secret technique that the bloodline of the Xiao Clan rapidly thinned out. Even though the clan had forbade its members from cultivating this secret technique for many years, due to its uniqueness, it became a must-have for some of the lower class people in the clan. It was also because of this that this secret technique was not completely sealed away by the clan.
After all, not everyone had the terrifying talent of people like Xiao Feng and Xiao Tian. If they wanted to pursue greater strength while cultivating, Blood Rage was the best choice. Even though it would exhaust their already thin bloodline power, if they could use it to obtain a sufficient position in the clan, it would all be worth it in their eyes.
Without strength, it would be difficult for them to advance even in the clan that was connected by bloodline. From a certain point of view, Blood Rage was the last straw that they could use to make a comeback!
The reason why it was called a last resort was because once they failed, they would lose all chances of making a comeback and would forever be at the bottom of the clan and even the entire continent!
"Sigh … This Xiao Yang, in order to obtain strength, he actually risked it to such an extent."
At this moment, sighs of disappointment could not help but resound from the elders' seating area. Just from the increase in Xiao Yang's strength after using Blood Rage, the bloodline power in the latter's body was already almost completely depleted.
"He knew that he was no match for Xiao with his own strength, so he chose Blood Rage, I have to say … he's really stupid."
Xiao Gan slowly shook his head. On the other hand, when Xiao Yuheng, who was seated at the head of the table, heard this, his heart skipped a beat. His gaze was fixed on Xiao Yang, whose face was filled with malevolence. His fingers tightly gripped the armrest as a complicated expression appeared in his eyes.
Was he really stupid or did he had no other choice?
The clan's strict selection system caused these natural born experts on the stage to have already determined their positions in the clan when they had just grown up. They, who had been chased after by countless people since young, would still be able to sit in the positions of their predecessors in the future. How many accidents like Xiao Feng had occurred in the course of history?
If the entire family continued to live in this foolish "hereditary succession", it would only be a matter of time before the family would decline and fall.
"Huff …"
In the arena, along with Xiao Yang's breathing, even the air was trembling. A powerful force was churning in his body like lava.
The corner of Xiao Yang's mouth involuntarily parted into a ferocious smile as he sensed the vigorous energy flowing unceasingly within his body. He slowly lifted his eyes, which were covered by a blood color, and stared at Xiao Yan with an extremely cold gaze. A hoarse trembling voice spread out, causing everyone present to feel a piercing pain in their eardrums.
"As long as I can win, I can pay the price no matter how big it is!"
With a clench of his hand, the grey mist mixed with scarlet red rocks quickly condensed under his palm. The shattered rocks quickly condensed into a long spear. On it, traces of blood-red energy swam like blood snakes.
With a twist of his wrist, the body of the spear followed suit and turned. The moment it was lifted, the cold tip of the spear was pointed at Xiao Yan on the opposite side. The sharp killing intent gradually became denser in the scarlet eyes that were protruding from the arena.
"Shua …"
Just as Xiao Yan was sizing up the latter, Xiao Yan's figure suddenly flashed. The moment the sound of something tearing through the air rang out, the expression on Xiao Yan's calm face slightly tightened. At the same time, his footsteps changed, and he immediately used the Sky Extinction Steps, his figure instantly disappearing from his original spot.
At the same time, a human figure suddenly rushed out in a ghost-like manner. A long spear that was wrapped in a blood-colored color violently penetrated the afterimage that Xiao Yan had left behind. The fierce spear wind on it pierced through the empty space over a hundred feet wide. The powerful strength caused one's pores to stand on end.
At this moment, the battle that had suddenly erupted in the arena caused the expressions of quite a number of people in the viewing gallery to change. At this moment, the speed of the two people on the battle stage had already exceeded the knowledge of most of them. Once both parties unleashed their speed, all they could see was two blurry rays of light.
"What astonishing speed!"
Following a wave of exclamations, Xiao Yan's footsteps slowly stepped out from the empty space on the other side of the fighting stage. His expression was somewhat surprised as he looked at Xiao Yang. From the looks of the agility that the latter had displayed, he was indeed not weaker than Xiao Lei and the others.
"Humph!"
After his attack missed, Xiao Yang slowly turned around with a gloomy face. Looking at Xiao Yan who was not far away, the body of his spear shook, and he said in a cold voice:
"Do you only know how to dodge?!"
Hearing this, the corners of Xiao Yan's mouth slowly curled into an arc. He took half a step back and slowly raised the giant ruler in his hand, facing the latter like the long spear.
"Bang!"
With a flick of the spear, a piece of rock under his feet immediately flew through the air and shot towards Xiao Yan like a meteor.
The giant ruler slashed through the air, and an invisible wind formed under the tip of the ruler. Immediately after, it fiercely swung down, blasting the rock that was shot towards him into powder that filled the air.
"Chi!"
In the instant that the powder filled the air, a red light suddenly flashed within the dust cloud. The blood-colored long spear pierced through the powder that filled the air and split it into two. With a fierce killing intent, it directly aimed at Xiao Yan's vital points.
Xiao Yan's expression did not change at all. The giant ruler in his hand once again rotated, and the tip of the ruler swung down. Numerous ruler lights shot out and continuously collided with the latter.
"Ding ding ding ding!"
As the sparks shot out, a clear collision sound once again rang out. The collision between the two of them also became increasingly intense. Every time the long spear and heavy ruler came into contact, the footsteps of the two of them would swiftly retreat. Their feet landed on the already shattered battle stage, leaving behind many eye-catching holes. The surrounding shattered cracks also became increasingly large.
"Bang!"
An explosive sound appeared. The two swiftly flashing figures once again faced each other. Each of them took a hundred steps back. The ground under their feet completely collapsed at the spot where their feet landed. A fierce flame shrouded over the enormous ruler. Following the wave of Xiao Yan's hands, it carried a majestic ruler glow as it slashed out in a manner that connected the sky and the ground. It heavily smashed toward the blood-colored mountain forest that rose from the ground in front of him!
"Seven Layer Sky Breaking Ruler!"
"Rock Howl!"
"Buzz!"
In this collision, Xiao Yan did not hold back at all. The full force strike of the ruler caused the stage beneath his feet to be completely cut apart. The ground swiftly melted under the burning of the Heavenly Flame, and torrential magma scattered down like a waterfall. The attack between the two of them completely dissipated under this mutual destruction.
As the magma scattered, Xiao Yan raised his eyes and looked over. At this moment, Xiao Yang was staring at him with a crazy expression. The ferocious smile on his face became increasingly terrifying.
Immediately after, in the next moment …
"Rock Whale!"
As Xiao Yang's words sounded out, the ground beneath Xiao Yan's feet suddenly caved in. The surrounding ground was swiftly uprooted, faintly forming a large bloody mouth. In the blink of an eye, it actually swallowed Xiao Yan on the spot.
In an instant, the faces of everyone present froze.
