Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

Page 346

Hearing the growing commotion from the crowd in the distance, Xun'er's gaze swept towards the red carpet, where a figure dressed in a light white outfit gradually came into view.

As everyone watched, at the end of the red carpet, a young woman with long, azure hair and a light white dress slowly walked towards the stands.

The girl wore a pale white dress that reached her calves. The dress was adorned with tiny, sparkling jade spirit stone fragments, which were not only beautiful but also automatically absorbed the energy circulating in the surrounding air, increasing cultivation speed and calming the mind.

The girl's long, azure hair was completely unadorned, cascading down from her head and fluttering behind her as the breeze blew.

Her slender, jade-like hands hung quietly at her sides, her long, crystalline skin radiating a faint white glow.

The girl had a peaceful face, her flawless cheeks without any extra adornment, but her icy blue eyes seemed to radiate a deep-seated indifference.

On the girl's feet, a string of blue jade beads encircled her right ankle, below which were a pair of silver-white embroidered shoes, with various rare treasures outlined in blue silk thread.

Her strength was unfathomable. With each step she took, she appeared hundreds of meters away, surrounded by a faint spatial aura.

Despite the vast distance, she seemed so close to everyone, their figures clearly visible. Yet, upon closer inspection, no part of her could be discerned. This paradoxical situation left each spectator with a look of surprise.

As Xun'er looked at the figures on the red carpet, her originally cheerful expression suddenly turned gloomy, and a hint of doubt and curiosity appeared on her face.

A sense of foreboding began to rise in my heart.

“Da, da, da…”

The girl's feet lightly tapped the ground, the crisp sound spreading out and resounding in everyone's ears.

All eyes were fixed on her, filled with intense curiosity.

"Is this the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Clan? There was absolutely no information about her before..."

Hun Feng sat on the stands, looking at the girl on the stands, a strange light flashing in his eyes. Behind him, an elder of the Hun Clan nodded slightly.

"Strength, huh..." Soul Wind looked at the figure on the red carpet, a hint of fighting spirit rising in his eyes. He stroked his chin with his right hand and said in a detached tone, "Not bad, at least not as good as those trash in the clan."

After speaking, Hunfeng fell silent, a hint of fighting spirit flashing in his eyes.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the girl finally appeared at the top of the stands at the front, standing next to the old woman from before. Turning around to look at the dense crowd of spectators behind her, a strange blush suddenly rose on the girl's originally cold face. She slightly tugged at her dress with both hands, and a soft sound fell into the ears of the old woman beside her.

"Grandma...Grandma, why...why are there so many people...?"

Hearing the voice beside her, the old woman remained expressionless and whispered to the figure beside her, "It's alright, it's alright. Just stand here for a moment. You don't need to do anything, just stand there."

As soon as her mother-in-law finished speaking, Yueyao stopped moving and stood still like a wooden stake.

His icy blue eyes occasionally swept across the stands surrounding the square, a hint of surprise in them.

When her gaze fell upon the ancient clan, her pupils suddenly contracted, a deep blue light bloomed in her icy blue eyes, a silver-white crescent moon mark appeared on her forehead, and a gentle look appeared in her icy blue eyes.

"Is...is that Xun'er?"

A hint of confusion appeared in Yueyao's eyes as she met Xun'er's concerned gaze. She involuntarily looked towards Xun'er's side, as if searching for something.

Chapter 73 Challenge

Yueyao's gaze swept over Xun'er's back, but seeing no familiar figures among the crowd behind Xun'er, a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

"The investiture ceremony shall begin!"

Just then, her mother-in-law's voice rang out. Upon hearing this, the moon mark on Yueyao's forehead slowly flickered. She raised her head again, her azure pupils filled with icy coldness. Standing on the high platform, she surveyed the scene with a majestic gaze.

"boom!"

A powerful aura erupted directly from Yueyao's body. The moon mark on Yueyao's forehead emitted a faint glow, and a wisp of silver-white energy shot up from her body. Her white dress fluttered without wind, and the pebbles adorning it emitted starlight.

The entire investiture ceremony was incredibly complicated. On Yueyao's head, she wore an incomparably noble crown, and a light blue light shield descended from above, concealing Yueyao's figure within it. Even the eyes of a Dou Sheng powerhouse could not penetrate this shield.

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Yueyao reappeared before everyone. Her long blue hair was now styled into a majestic look and firmly secured by the crown on her head.

She changed into a gorgeous and elegant white dress, revealing her delicate collarbone, and a necklace inlaid with light blue gemstones adorned her swan-like neck.

"It's done!"

After finishing her makeup, Yueyao completed each of the tedious steps under her mother-in-law's guidance. Finally, with a soft sigh from her mother-in-law, Yueyao turned around, looked at the dense crowd outside the square, her eyes indifferent, exuding an air of authority that came from long-held power.

"From this day forward, the Holy Maiden Yueyao of the Spirit Clan shall enter the Cloud Palace and assume the authority of the law."

As the old woman finished speaking, all the living beings in this world, except for those on the high platform of the eight ancient clans, slowly bowed down to the giant tree at the very center, their eyes filled with excitement.

"Very good......."

Standing behind Yueyao, the old woman watched as Yueyao received everyone's worship. Her face showed an undisguised excitement, and her withered arm holding the cane trembled slightly.

After the investiture ceremony, the next part that all races look forward to is the challenge!

After each major event of the ancient eight tribes, the tribes would hold a competition among the eight tribes after the main event was over.

However, since the tribes that hold the event are different each time, generally speaking, it is the host family that has the opportunity to accept challenges from others. This is also a way for each tribe to show their strength to others.

After all, in the eyes of the eight ancient clans, they had one thing to be most proud of compared to the rest of the continent: the blood of a Dou Di powerhouse flowed through their veins.

Although so many years have passed and the bloodline of the Dou Di in many people's bodies has become extremely diluted, this is still the reason why they can remain high above others. It is all because their families once had Dou Di powerhouses.

Therefore, apart from the eight ancient clans, everyone tends to maintain a superior attitude when facing other people from the Dou Qi Continent.

This is both their source of pride and a result of their strength.

Any one of the eight ancient clans would be a dominant force on the Dou Qi Continent, with the number of Dou Sheng within their clans alone being unmatched by any other power on the continent.

As the Spirit Clan guards gradually retreated from the plaza, figures on the high platform of the eight clans revealed a trace of fanatical fighting spirit.

On the high platform where the Soul Clan was located, Soul Wind looked at Yue Yao on the platform, and a strong fighting spirit surged from his body.

Soon, the spacious square was deserted except for Yueyao.

Yueyao, dressed in a long dress, stood in the center of the arena with an indifferent expression. Her gaze swept over the high platforms of the other clans one by one. When she saw the empty Xiao clan's stands, a faint look of doubt appeared on her face. Then she stood with her hands behind her back, looking at the teams of the other clans, her voice indifferent.

"Who...would you like to go first?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Yueyao's eyes were like a thousand-year-old ice, radiating a chilling frost. The icy aura spread directly from Yueyao's feet, instantly enveloping the entire square.

"Hehe, I'll go first!"

As Yueyao finished speaking, there was a brief silence on the Eight Clans' viewing platform. Then, from within the Stone Clan, a young man with incredibly muscular physique stood up and spoke in a cheerful voice.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young man with terrifying muscles leaping high into the air, landing directly on the central square like a giant meteorite.

Many people narrowed their eyes as they watched the Stone Clan youth's movements. He hadn't used any battle qi to leap; he had relied entirely on his physical strength to reach this level. If the Spirit Clan's plaza hadn't been made of extraordinary materials and engraved with numerous defensive formations, the force of his landing would have been enough to shatter the ground.

"I am Shi Potian of the Shi Clan. I humbly request the Holy Maiden's guidance."

(I originally wanted to choose a terrifying name, but I realized that the karmic consequences were too great and I dared not get involved, so I named it Breaking the Sky.)

Shi Potian landed in front of Yueyao, cupped his hands slightly towards her, and looked sharp.

Yueyao didn't speak, but nodded gently. With a flick of her wrist, a sharp sword, as white as jade, appeared in her hand.

"This sword is named Frostbite; a single point of green blade, half an inch of frost."

Yueyao held her longsword, gently twirling it into a beautiful sword flourish. With a slight movement, the tip of her sword pointed directly at Shi Potian.

"Yueyao can use a sword?"

Among the ancient clans, Xun'er looked at Yueyao's actions with a hint of doubt on her face. She had never known that Yueyao was knowledgeable about swordsmanship, even after spending so much time at Canaan Academy.

"Zheng!"

As Yueyao finished her movement, a sword's cry rang out. A faint white sword aura condensed on the Frost Sword in Yueyao's hand, and with a flick of her arm, it slashed directly towards Shi Potian.

Shi Potian sensed the sharp aura emanating from Yueyao's longsword, and his eyes narrowed. Although it seemed to be just a casual strike from her, Shi Potian could feel that the sword energy contained an extremely terrifying sword intent. It would be difficult for someone who hadn't been immersed in swordsmanship for decades to have such a high level of understanding of the sword.

Swish!

Shi Potian held his breath and concentrated, his meridians bulging like a coiled dragon, and his muscles radiating faint halos. Shi Potian's already robust body became even larger, looking extremely terrifying, and the aura emanating from his body surged instantly.

"boom!"

Seeing the approaching sword energy, Shi Potian gathered his strength in both fists, and his internal fighting spirit spread upwards to his fists. With the support of Shi Potian's fighting spirit, his fists transformed into two golden fist shadows, which he swung towards the sword energy in front of him.

However, the outcome of the battle was beyond everyone's expectations.

Despite his seemingly formidable strength, Shi Potian was sent flying by Yue Yao's sword energy with a single strike, leaving a scarlet sword mark a finger's width on his chest.

"hiss!"

Everyone stared in shock as Shi Potian fell to the ground and landed off the stage.

The aura that Shi Potian just unleashed had already reached the mid-stage of the Dou Zong realm. Moreover, the Shi clan members possess extremely terrifying physical bodies. Although the Dou Di bloodline within them has gradually withered away, their physical bodies are comparable to those of demonic beasts, making them extremely troublesome.

However, the shock in everyone's eyes remained when they looked at the sword wound on Shi Potian's chest.

All eyes of the six clans were focused on Yueyao, their gazes filled with intense inquiry.

"interesting........"

Among the Soul Clan, Soul Wind looked at Yue Yao on the field with a hint of fighting spirit in his eyes. Then, his gaze gradually swept over the other clans, revealing a hint of disdain in his eyes. He slowly said, "I didn't expect that the Soul Clan would have such a big surprise on this trip to the Spirit Realm. The Holy Maiden of the Soul Clan... I'm afraid that among the younger generation, only Gu Xun'er can fight her."

"So strong?"

Behind Hun Feng, the old man heard Hun Feng's words and showed a hint of surprise on his face. He said, "Young Master seems to think highly of Yue Yao."

It should be noted that among the eight ancient clans, the Soul, Xiao, and Gu clans were the strongest. If the three clans had been able to unite completely, the other five clans would have been wiped out long ago.

With the destruction of the Xiao Clan, the strength of the Ancient Clan and the Soul Clan has become increasingly terrifying. When the old man heard that Soul Wind had actually connected Yue Yao and Gu Xun'er, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

"Hehe, her aura is far from simple."

Hunfeng nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over Xun'er, who was watching from the side of the viewing platform, before returning to the arena.

After Shi Potian's defeat, many younger disciples of the Shi Clan tried to regain face from Yue Yao, but without exception, they all fell to Yue Yao's sword.
