68: Chapter 68 Combat Skills

After returning the Fallen Heart Flame to Xiao Yan and communicating for a while, Xiao Yan understood the plight of Venerable Skyfire and promised to repair his Soul and refine a body for him.

As compensation, he received a scroll of fire control techniques and a promise; as for the technique, it was the Five Round Li Fire Method!

"The method is divided into five levels, distinguished by beasts: wolf, leopard, lion, tiger, and jiao. Each level possesses its own fire spirit. When the five rounds gather, they have the power to evaporate oceans and incinerate the heavens. If four of these five beasts are condensed from Exotic Fire, it possesses the power of a Heaven Rank Dou Skill!"

Taking the pale white scroll, Xiao Yan stored it in his storage ring, then placed another small Fallen Heart Flame into a prepared empty storage ring.

"Those Flame Lizardmen are extremely sensitive to the flow of magma; they can detect even the slightest movement in the magma..." Venerable Skyfire reminded him from the side. Now that he had to rely on Xiao Yan to repair his Soul, he naturally had to look out for Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan nodded slightly, indicating he understood. He would not go out of his way to provoke these Flame Lizardmen; he did not want to be reckless, as attracting Flame Lizardmen he could not handle would be no joke.

Seeing this, Venerable Skyfire moved his hand Seals slightly, and the white storage ring in his hand automatically slipped onto Xiao Yan's finger, while his blurred body also entered the ring.

The journey was without danger; following the aura of the Bone Chilling Flame Origin on Yao Chen, he swam quickly and without stopping.

"Splash!"

Xiao Yan's figure emerged from the endless magma, stepped onto the ground, and arrived before Yao Chen, who had been waiting for a long time.

Glancing at Yao Chen, then at the white storage ring on his left hand, Xiao Yan suddenly felt amused; he had gained another old grandpa on his person.

"Finally seeing the world outside the magma again, I truly miss it... Eh? You are also a Soul entity?" Venerable Skyfire had just finished expressing his sentiment when he noticed Yao Chen in front of Xiao Yan.

"Yao Tianhuo..."

"Hmm?"

Two gazes looked at Xiao Yan simultaneously.

"Uh, Teacher, this is a Soul entity I picked up at the bottom of the magma, named Yao Tianhuo, known as Venerable Skyfire," Xiao Yan explained to Yao Chen.

Venerable Skyfire nodded slightly towards Yao Chen to offer a greeting.

"My name is Yao Chen, and I am Xiao Yan's teacher," Yao Chen said with a smile.

"Known as Venerable Yao," Xiao Yan added.

Xiao Yan took out a jade bottle and tossed it toward Venerable Skyfire, saying, "Soul Nourishing Saliva, a concoction I refined earlier; it should be able to repair your Soul. As for a physical body, that will have to wait for some time before I can refine it."

Venerable Skyfire looked at the jade bottle in his hand in surprise, and heard Xiao Yan continue, "Yao Tianhuo, you can stay here to repair your Soul for the next few days. I am going out for a day; I have some matters to attend to."

Hearing this, Venerable Skyfire nodded and laughed heartily, "Hehe, regarding the matter of repairing my Soul, such great kindness cannot be repaid with mere words; consider it a debt I owe you... Very well, go handle your affairs, I will stay here and repair my Soul first."

Venerable Skyfire had not expected that this little fellow would actually have a Medicinal Pill to repair a Soul in his possession; he was naturally extremely pleasantly surprised.

Xiao Yan naturally knew that Venerable Skyfire needed to repair his Soul, so during those two months in the Black-Corner Region, he had prepared various medicinal herbs in advance and refined several Medicinal Pills to repair Soul Power.

Leaving this magma world and arriving at the place of the Seal, he called out to the Academy Elders.

Before long, several old men appeared, one of whom was Su Qian.

Seeing Xiao Yan, the expressions of the group immediately turned joyful. Not having seen a trace of Xiao Yan for the past two days, they had almost thought that Xiao Yan had been swallowed by the Fallen Heart Flame!

Su Qian formed Seals with his hands and opened the Seal.

"Xiao Yan, it's great that you're okay. What about the Fallen Heart Flame?" Elder Hao, who was beside Su Qian, asked.

"Hehe..." Xiao Yan did not answer, but simply handed a storage ring to Elder Hao.

Elder Hao curiously took the storage ring, then took out the only item inside, a small Fallen Heart Flame.

"You! You beat it into this state?"

Seeing the Fallen Heart Flame, which was clearly much smaller than before, Elder Hao was full of shock.

Xiao Yan's smiling expression froze instantly.

"This is another Fallen Heart Flame; the previous one has already been refined by me," Xiao Yan said, and a mass of Fallen Heart Flame instantly appeared in his hand.

"This... there are actually two Fallen Heart Flames?" Su Qian stared at the Exotic Fire in Xiao Yan's hand and exclaimed.

"That young Fallen Heart Flame was discovered by me unintentionally in the underground magma; it was truly a coincidence," Xiao Yan shook his head, indicating that he was also surprised.

After handing over this much more docile Fallen Heart Flame, Xiao Yan left the place with Elder Su Qian and the others.

After reporting his safety to Xun'er and staying at the Academy for another day, Xiao Yan returned to the underground magma world once more and began his secluded Cultivation.

Afterward, he would go out once every seven days to spend a day cuddling with Xun'er, refine "Candy Pills" for Zi Yan, and then continue returning to the magma world to Cultivate.

Time quickly passed to two months later.

Xiao Yan sat cross-legged in the Void Realm above the endless magma; his majestic aura caused the surrounding magma to ripple slightly, as if something was about to erupt from the magma sea the next moment.

He slowly opened his eyes; a purple light flashed, and thunder rumbled!

Xiao Yan's figure, which had been sitting cross-legged in the Void Realm, had vanished. Shifting his gaze, one would find that Xiao Yan had appeared on the magma shore several thousand meters away!

Earth Rank Low-level movement Dou Technique: Three Thousand Lightning Movement!

The last time he went out, he encountered a rainstorm, which allowed him to refine the Wind-Lightning force within the scroll and successfully learn the movement Dou Technique, Three Thousand Lightning Movement.

"Three Thousand Lightning Movement: still as a rock, moving like a thunderbolt; it does not seek flashiness, only surprise..."

What surprised Xiao Yan about Cultivating this Dou Technique was that after successfully refining the Wind-Lightning force, the Taixuan Purple Lightning actually refined that trace of Wind-Lightning force, causing the Taixuan Purple Lightning to mutate and contain a trace of Wind-Lightning force, which in turn increased Xiao Yan's speed significantly.

Standing on the shore, Xiao Yan pondered for a moment, then raised his palm and struck fiercely toward the front.

"Sea Flipping Seal!"

Massive Dou Qi energy gathered continuously, and then a gigantic energy palm appeared out of thin air, sweeping toward this sea of magma!

"Whoosh!!!"

The gigantic palm struck into the distance, stirring up massive waves of magma along the way, until it left his line of sight and turned into a small black dot.

This Dou Technique was gifted by Xun'er, the Emperor Seal Skill, an Earth Rank Advanced technique created by some ancient Dou Di expert, consisting of five forms.

Mountain Opening Seal, Sea Flipping Seal, Earth Covering Seal, Sky Annihilating Seal, and Ancient Emperor Seal. When the five Seals reach Major Achievement, they can overturn rivers and seas, swallow the heavens and devour the earth; at their Peak, they approach a Heaven Rank Dou Skill!

Just Cultivating the first level, the Mountain Opening Seal, requires the Dou Wang Realm, while the Sea Flipping Seal requires the Dou Huang Realm. Even Xun'er only possesses the first two levels.

As for the Five Round Li Fire Method he recently learned, he has naturally already condensed three forms: the wolf, leopard, lion, and tiger, four types of fire spirits!

Its power is much greater than the Sea Flipping Seal, reaching the threshold of a Heaven Rank Dou Skill!

It can be said to be the second most powerful Dou Technique Xiao Yan currently possesses!

As for the strongest Dou Technique, it is naturally still the Exotic Fire Bead, only it has now become a Four-Colored Exotic Fire Bead...

And that Three-Colored Exotic Fire Bead had not yet demonstrated its power on an enemy before it had to be retired. One must know that a Three-Colored Exotic Fire Bead, only the size of an egg, rivals the power of the Five Round Li Fire Method with its four fire spirits, and Xiao Yan can condense dozens of these Exotic Fire Beads in an instant.

As long as Xiao Yan is given a little time, condensing hundreds or thousands is not a problem!

The monstrous aspect of the Exotic Fire Bead does not lie in the magnitude of its power, but in the fact that it can be condensed quickly and consumes very little Dou Qi!

Therefore, even a Dou Zun expert, when facing the current Xiao Yan, can only flee at the sight of him!

The Three-Colored Exotic Fire Bead was already so monstrous; it is hard to imagine the power of the Four-Colored Exotic Fire Bead. Xiao Yan has not yet tested the power of the Four-Colored Exotic Fire Bead; he just wants to wait until after he has swallowed the Fallen Heart Flame, then find an uninhabited area to test it.

As for why he does not test it in the underground magma sea, Xiao Yan is afraid that it might cause the ground above his head to collapse...
