It seemed Ning Zhiyuan truly wanted to properly train An Ran, unconcerned with the loss of face and the lower ranking. Even he hadn't expected Ning Zhiyuan to go this far; it was truly beyond his expectations. Thinking of this, Jiang Jue no longer felt happy about his victory. After all, the outcome of this competition meant nothing to the other party.

The two looked at each other, but at the same time, they moved. Their hands moved rapidly, forming complex hand seals one after another. As these hand seals appeared, the auras of the two also changed.

Bai Yao attacked An Ran with a fist again, but An Ran stood still without dodging or retreating. The water element turned into ice armor and formed ice on her arms!

The next moment, in front of everyone's horrified gaze, An Ran actually raised his fist and rushed forward!

This was beyond everyone's expectation. There was a gap of three realms between them. Such an approach was like hitting a rock with an egg. Everyone even imagined the scene of An Ran's bloody fist!

Even Bai Yao's eyes showed a hint of doubt. Is this woman really not afraid of death? How can she do such a thing?

"boom"

The two fists collided violently, but there was no instant defeat. On the contrary, both of them took several steps back at the same time!

No one had ever imagined that the result of the collision of fists two levels apart wouldn't be a crushing defeat for one side! According to common sense, this was simply impossible.

An then took three steps back before stabilizing himself. His expression remained calm as he shook his slightly numb right hand. A hint of a smile crossed his eyes. The water elemental evolution had indeed been effective. Compared to Bai Yao's last fight with those monsters, the results were much better.

However, what amazed everyone was her performance, because she actually retreated four steps! One more step than An Ran. Could it be that An Ran had the upper hand in the previous confrontation of strength?

Thinking of this, everyone's eyes were filled with disbelief. This completely overturned their common sense! In the first round of the fight, An Ran had the upper hand? How was this possible?

Bai Yao endured the sharp pain in her hand, a trace of horror in her eyes. How could An Ran's arm be so strong? It felt as if her hand had struck black iron, the pain was excruciating...

A strange look flashed in Ning Zhiyuan's eyes. He had discovered this move when An Ran competed with Wan Yun. Seeing An Ran use this move again today made his eyes light up.

Almost all the elders noticed this. They didn’t expect that someone would think of freezing the water element?

It actually succeeded?!

For a moment, everyone looked at An Ran with a hint of curiosity, and also... relief.

"Try to take my move again!" Bai Yao said with her eyes wide open, but her hands moved without hesitation, and complex seals slowly formed between her hands...

Seeing this, An Ran's hands also moved quickly. In a cross-level battle, time is extremely important. If she is a step late, she may lose. Moreover, Bai Yao's strength is so strong, the martial arts she displays cannot be weak.

When the two were preparing their martial arts, everyone felt a powerful energy bursting out from their bodies, and a terrifying pressure spread towards each other.

Everyone felt their breathing was a bit stifled under the pressure of this energy. Although it wasn't as oppressive as Ling Luochen and the others, it still made people feel very uncomfortable.

As Bai Yao's handprints flipped, a flash of lightning actually formed in her hands! Threads of lightning made a crackling sound and were extremely dazzling.

There was a hint of surprise in An Ran's eyes. She didn't expect that Bai Yao was practicing the rare thunder magic element. The attack power of thunder and lightning was even stronger than the fire magic element. No wonder she had such a great reputation in Guangming Island.

In this case, it would be more difficult for her to deal with Bai Yao. After all, her strength far exceeds that of an ordinary eighth-level emperor.

However, there wasn't a trace of fear in An Ran's eyes; instead, a strong fighting spirit ignited within her. She loved this kind of challenging competition, where she could use all her skills to see how strong she was.

The sky changed color at this moment, and gloomy black clouds instantly appeared above everyone's heads. When the rumbling thunder came, it was accompanied by flashes of lightning. However, this situation did not last long, and lightning struck down one after another.

If someone observes Bai Yao carefully, they will find a shocking scene, because there is also lightning flashing in the light ball in Bai Yao's hand, and the lightning in the outside world is exactly the same as the lightning in his light ball!

Control lightning!

People live in nature, and the power of nature is naturally the most powerful. If humans can control the power of nature, then one can imagine how powerful they are! I never thought that Bai Yao could actually control the power of nature!

Suddenly, everyone was not optimistic about An Ran. Even those who had confidence in An Ran before changed their minds at this moment, because the strength displayed by Bai Yao was too powerful. Even though they were both eighth-level emperors, they were not optimistic about him, let alone An Ran, who was a fifth-level emperor.

"Why is this white medicine so strong?" An Yu's face changed and he screamed in worry.

Xu Errong also looked at An Ran on the competition stage with a worried look, silently thinking about the pills he would use later.

"Ranran will definitely not lose!" Jun Zichen said firmly, "If we all have no confidence in him, who else can stand behind her?!"

However, Jun Zichen's tightly clenched fists behind his back revealed his inner nervousness. He was still worried about this match, wondering how badly Ranran would be injured after the match...

The sky grew darker and darker, with thick black clouds obscuring any light at all, as if it had already become night. Only the flashes of lightning allowed everyone to see everything around them clearly.

The repeated crackling sounds made everyone feel nervous. Even though they were already quite strong, if they were struck by this lightning, the consequences would probably not be any better...

Bai Yao raised a smile at the corner of his mouth and looked at An Ran with disdain, waiting to see how arrogant she would be in front of him!

Although An Ran was surprised, she continued to move her hands. She had never been afraid of anyone since she came to the vast continent!

Vast magical elements were constantly being drawn out, and the fluctuations of the surrounding magical elements became more and more obvious.

As An Ran completed her hand seals one after another, the white mist behind her gradually turned black, making the already dark sky even darker. No one could even see An Ran. She had disappeared into the darkness, or perhaps she was wrapped in a ball of black energy.
