The next morning, when the sky had only just lit up and most places were still cloudy, Ao Fan had already arrived inside the Dragon Valley.
On the way here, Ao Fan did not see Xiao Ling'er, so he could not help but feel a little strange. In the past, as long as he left the main bedchamber, he would be able to meet Xiao Ling'er, as if the two were about to meet, very tacit understanding. This was the first time he hadn't seen Little Spirit!
He didn't know that Little Spirit Child had already been taken by the Dragon Emperor to that temple full of mysteries last night, and was currently cultivating in silence, and would not be able to meet him at all in a short period of time.
Therefore, apart from feeling slightly strange within his heart, he didn't notice much difference.
Seeing the Blood Peak Elder, they didn't have much to say, one of them directly started teaching while the other studied hard.
Time, it was in such days that gradually passed!
As the days passed by, Ao Fan finally realised that something was wrong. He went to the Dragon Valley every day to look for Elder Blood Peak to practice, but he had not seen Little Spirit. It wasn't until his mother, Fang Xue, came to his chambers in the middle of the night one day that he learnt the reason.
Now he will go to the Dragon Valley every day at dawn, and at night it is also dark before coming back, so that Fang Xue came to his chambers numbers, were not able to see him, and thus could not tell him about the little spirit child. Only that day Fang Xue midnight past, only the beginning and end of the matter to inform Ao Fan.
Learning the story, Ao Fan is not good to say the Dragon Emperor's right or wrong, anyway, he and the little spirit child in a short period of time can not meet is doomed. So, after he cultivated with the Blood Peak Elder in the Dragon Valley during the day, he simply didn't come back at night, but stayed in the Dragon Valley, using the sky as a quilt and the ground as a mat, and slept on the ground.
Fang Xue learnt of this and let him be;while the Dragon Emperor would not pay any attention to him at all!
In the beginning, he supported himself for a few days, and even though his physique was strong, he couldn't withstand the hunger, so he had to plan to make a trip back. As a result, the Blood Peak Elder gave him a palm-sized red gourd, which formed a space of its own, containing a kind of nameless strange water.
Ao Fan drank this strange water, immediately felt no longer hungry in the abdomen, as if he had just eaten and drank enough, and his body gave birth to a lot of strength.
Relying on this strange water, he did not have to go back to the Dragon Palace, in the next few days to forget about cultivation, it seems that the rest of the world have nothing to do with him.
A year passed in a flash!
Within a year, many things can happen. During this year, Ao Fan devoted himself to cultivation, and finally his efforts were not in vain. A year later, he was already a first level Mortal Realm Dragon. With a wave of his hand, he was able to break a boulder one person high; between slashes of his palm, his palm wind could scrape the air with a constant piercing sound.
Nowadays, his physique was extremely powerful, unlike in the past!
But even so, he felt as if he was missing something, unable to utilise all his strength. Until this day, Elder Blood Peak approached him.
The yellow earth wall, still standing in the Dragon Valley, was filled with a distant aura. The wind carried some vicissitudes between it and blew by, but it made the dragons even more serene.
Outside that one deep tunnel that led to the sea of flowers, both Elder Blood Peak and Ao Fan sat on the ground.
It had only been a year, and both of their appearances hadn't changed much, as always. What had changed was only their hearts.
"It has been a year since you followed Elder's cultivation." Elder Blood Peak said indifferently.
"Yes, Elder." Ao Fan nodded his head, his not-so-mature face was filled with a mature expression.
"This year, you have learnt a lot, the foundation has been laid very well, it will be of great benefit to your future cultivation." Elder Blood Peak said affirmatively, and after he finished speaking, he paused and then continued, "However, although your Dragon Yuan is abundant nowadays, you don't have much use for it. Now, the old man will teach you some moves, so you must remember them well."
Upon hearing this, although Ao Fan's expression did not change, inwardly he was delighted and responded, "Yes, Elder."
"The moves that Elder is going to teach you are called the 'Seven Styles of Blood Battle', listen carefully." Elder Blood Peak gave a slight pause before speaking to Ao Fan about the moves that were also created by him.
The Seven Stances of Blood Battle were divided into the Blood Claw Stance, the Blood Slaughter Stance, the Blood Shadow Stance, the Blood Explosion Stance, the Blood Sea Stance, the Blood Eye Stance, and the Reverse Blood Stance!
Each of the seven stances had different and wonderful uses. Among them, Ao Fan was only able to immediately learn the Blood Claw Style, Blood Slaughter Style and Blood Shadow Style, and the remaining four stances, he could only learn them when he reached the second level of the Mortal Realm.
However, just three stances already made Ao Fan very excited. At one time, he had never come into contact with stances before.
Therefore, after the Blood Peak Elder spoke to him in detail about the Seven Styles of Blood Battle, he practised them.
The first thing he practiced was the Blood Claw Stance, the Dragon Yuan in his body was mobilised by him and flowed into his hands along his blood veins. In that moment, he felt his hands a little warm and his blood flowed very quickly.
In the next moment, his hands danced, like a hundred flowers flying, with heavy blood shadows, and it was as if the only thing left in the sky and the earth were these slices of claw shadows!
The Blood Peak Elder watched for a while, first nodding, then shaking his head, he called out to Ao Fan and spoke, ''After watching for a while, I found that the Blood Claw Style, when performed by you, is empty of form but not much power, and is unable to hurt anyone at all. However, you have also just learnt the Blood Claw Style, so it is inevitable that there are deficiencies. I'll tell you in the end, what the Blood Claw Style focuses on the most is not power, but rather speed, speed that is one step faster!"
"Speed?" Ao Fan listened and gradually became a little clearer, his hands formed claws and was about to continue practising.
The Blood Peak Elder at this moment, however, called out to him again, saying, "Although the Blood Claw Style is called Blood Claw, it doesn't make it so that you must make your hands form a claw shape. You need to be a little more casual and fluid when you perform it, don't be bound by the claw form."
Ao Fan nodded and his hands moved again.
Immediately after, the space around him was filled with red shadows, so fast that he could not see what was in the red shadows. The air also made a "snorting" cutting sound.
Elder Blood Peak nodded his head in satisfaction, but in his heart, he felt some pity.
Ao Fan, who had such enlightenment and perseverance, was only a lower-ranked Divine Beast, the Red Dragon, which was really envied by the heavens. Although he has been taught by Elder Blood Peak, his future is extraordinary, but in the end, he may not be able to reach Elder Blood Peak's level.
For Elder Blood Peak to be able to achieve what he has today, he relied on more than just the Dharma Decree. There were various other factors as well, which simply couldn't be exhausted in one go. If Ao Fan wanted to become the second Blood Peak Elder, he could only say that it was difficult, difficult, difficult!
A moment later, Ao Fan stopped moving and stood in place quietly thinking, recalling the actions of just now, to see where he didn't do the right thing and where he went wrong.
Seeing this, the Blood Peak Elder was even more satisfied in his heart. Immediately after Ao Fan thought about it, Elder Blood Peak opened his mouth and said, "This place is located at the entrance of the Dragon Valley, and there will often be dragons walking past as they come and go. If you practice your moves here, it would be quite inconvenient to be seen. So in the future, it would be better for you to go to the other side of the sea of flowers to cultivate, and when you have any questions that you don't understand, then come back here to ask Elder Fan."
