A few moments later, Ya Fei regained consciousness; her big eyes blinked as she looked around. A trace of worry flashed on her face after not seeing Xiao Ning, yet smelling the familiar scent from the robe covering her body; her brows relaxed.
Only then did Ya Fei check her condition; a shock appeared on her face, and her mind went blank. Even after inspecting it several times, she still felt like she was dreaming.
While she was still immersed in experiencing the changes, Xiao Ning returned to the cave with a calm expression; there was no trace of the coldness he had emitted earlier.
His face softened after seeing her awake. He chuckled and stared at her seductive body without any politeness. "How are you feeling?"
"Good." A brilliant smile bloomed on her face.
Ya Fei stood up; the robe covering her body slid down. After experiencing the heavenly flame forging, her attractive body became flawless in the true sense.
'Gulp!' Xiao Ning's words stopped in his mouth. He looked forward and felt his throat getting dry.
She slowly stepped forward, and the distance between them reduced. The air within the cave became hot and dry. As Ya Fei got closer, the red lotus tattoo on her forehead started shining.
Xiao Ning stood still; the rising temperature did not affect him in the slightest. His eyes never left the beauty in front of him.
"How long are you going to continue staring?" Ya Fei leaned her body over and whispered in his ear.
Xiao Ning smelled her bodily fragrance and felt hot air blowing in his ear. 'No way, she teased me?' A wry smile appeared on his face as he thought.
He controlled his thoughts and took out the clothes prepared for her from his storage ring.
With a sly smile, Ya Fei took the clothes from his hand and slowly put them on. Her every action and body movement was full of charm.
...
Soon, they walked out of the cave, and instead of returning to the city, they went deeper into the forest. Xiao Ning constantly released his bloodline pressure, and with Hei Du's protection in the dark, no magical creature dared to approach them.
In a few moments, they reached their destination; the top of the mountain. As the wind blew, the sound of leaves rustling, combined with the view from above, made it look like a small paradise.
Of course, only Xiao Ning and Ya Fei thought like this. After all, apart from them, there were few people in the empire who could scare away all magical beasts merely by using their aura.
Pity, they did not come here to admire the view. After a few seconds, Xiao Ning chuckled, "Let's start."
As he spoke, Xiao Ning bent slightly and jumped back, creating a distance between Ya Fei and himself.
Ya Fei nodded, and her dou qi surged; a materialistic, flame-like part of armor enveloped her upper body. At this moment, an aura of a Dou Grandmaster burst from her delicate body.
Xiao Ning's eyes flashed with bright light as he sensed the quality and estimated the quantity of her dou qi. The difference between now and then was as vast as heaven and earth.
Ya Fei rushed forward and attacked while Xiao Ning marveled at her changes.
Even though he was distracted, Xiao Ning reacted swiftly; he raised his arm and blocked her punch.
"Not bad," he commented as he casually blocked her attack.
Ya Fei's response to this was another punch. This time, she attached her dou qi to her fist.
Still, Xiao Ning effortlessly blocked her attack merely by relying on his body.
It would be a joke if Xiao Ning, who stood a realm above Ya Fei, needed to rely on his dou qi to block her attacks. Not to mention, Xiao Ning's dou qi cultivation technique also refined his body and made it unrivaled in the same rank.
In addition, the Dou God's bloodline refined his body and raised it to another rank. Even Xiao Ning himself was not clear about the extent of his physical strength.
...
As the spar continued, Ya Fei became more proficient and adapted to her strength. Xiao Ning, who only blocked and dodged her attacks, became the most suitable sparring partner.
"I am going to use the heavenly flame," Ya Fei smiled lightly. It also meant that the sparring session was coming to an end.
"Bring it on."
Xiao Ning stood in distance with his arms crossed.
The next instant, the tattoo on Ya Fei's forehead glowed, and a small green-reddish flame lotus appeared above her palm. Its appearance raised the surrounding temperature. Even the air became hot and dry.
Xiao Ning immediately noticed the change in the flame's color and instantly thought about many things.
...
As Ya Fei was about to attack directly with the flame, her tattoo flickered, and she stopped in her tracks.
The next instant, her eyes glowed red as if flames were burning in them. The heavenly flame in her hand returned to her body.
Xiao Ning, who stood vigilantly, was at a loss for words. Even with his strength, he needed to guard against the heavenly flame.
Before he could ask, Xiao Ning's senses tingled, and he felt a sense of crisis, and without hesitating, he jumped back.
The next instant, a pillar of fire burst out from the place where he stood. The destructive power within the raging red flame made Xiao Ning's palms sweaty.
Although Xiao Ning was strong, he was still scared of getting caught off guard. When the flame disappeared, he saw a pitch-black hole. Before Xiao Ning could examine it, he jumped back again. Another pillar of fire burst from the ground.
Xiao Ning continued to jump like a monkey, avoiding her attacks. Finally, after looking around, he spoke, "All right, all right, I get it. Fei'er, let's stop now."
After that, without waiting for her response, Xiao Ning rushed forward. He hugged her and darted into the sky.
'Boom!' The next instant, a loud sound attracted their attention. Xiao Ning and Ya Fei both stared at the crumbling mountain.
They both felt speechless after seeing the result of their spar. A casual fight between a Dou Grandmaster and a Dou Spirit destroyed a mountain.
