A gentle breeze blew through the vast forest.
Suddenly, the forest surged, with waves of giant trees, nearly a hundred feet tall, surging from afar, one after another.
"Teacher, have you figured out any tricks to the Flame Soul Separation Technique? It's too difficult. Even though I've mastered the Heavenly Flame, I can't condense the Fire Spirit. How did Lin Xiu do it?"
On the treetops, Xiao Yan looked at the forest, unable to dispel the annoyance in his heart.
Yao Chen, in the form of a soul, floated beside Xiao Yan, his brow furrowed slightly. "I think the Flame Soul Separation Technique is still not a complete Dou Technique. The person who created it probably hasn't explained everything yet."
It might be that he wants to wait until it's perfected, or maybe he hasn't sorted it out himself yet. Otherwise, how could there be no second person in the entire Jia Nan Academy who has learned it?"
Upon entering the inner courtyard, Xiao Yan intended to consult Senior Brother Lin Xiu about Dou Techniques.
Unexpectedly, after entering the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower for the first time, he encountered Elder Liu, who was guarding the tower.
Because of his Heavenly Flame, Elder Liu appreciated him and directly brought up Lin Xiu's matter.
Xiao Yan just casually asked, and easily obtained the Flame Soul Separation Technique.
It was originally a happy thing, and the master and disciple spent a lot of time researching it, but in the end, they still couldn't make a breakthrough.
According to Old Yao, this Dou Technique is far from being completely perfected.
"But Lin Xiu has clearly mastered it, teacher."
Xiao Yan propped up his chin, murmuring.
"I can't figure it out either," Yao Chen sighed deeply.
After a while,
Xiao Yan stood up, unfurling his Purple Cloud Wings, preparing to leave.
In midair, facing the sea-like forest waves, as if sensing something, he landed on a tree.
His feet, like eagle claws, firmly grasped the treetop, his body swaying with the tree.
It was unknown how much time passed.
Suddenly, Xiao Yan, stiff all over, trembled lightly. His right hand clenched, and a pitch-black giant ruler fell into his palm.
He slowly executed the basic attacks of the Heavy Black Ruler in front of him—slicing, lifting, swinging, and sweeping—extremely slowly.
Accompanied by Xiao Yan's increasing speed, his whole body was surrounded by a black sphere.
In an instant, this sea of trees was baptized by the black sphere, leaves flying, branches falling.
Chi!
At a certain moment, the Heavy Black Ruler in Xiao Yan's hand stagnated, and a fierce gust of wind burst out from the ruler.
With a series of "crack" sounds, the treetop of a tree over ten meters away was completely severed.
"This..."
Xiao Yan's eyes cleared, looking at everything before him with a trace of astonishment.
"No need to be surprised. On the path of cultivation, this is not a coincidence, but an opportunity. You encountered it, and even luckily seized it. This is your fortune."
Old Yao's figure appeared beside Xiao Yan.
"Teacher, does this count as a Dou Technique?"
Xiao Yan scratched his head, curious.
"Not yet, it's too weak. But as long as you hone it well, you will definitely be able to create your own unique Dou Technique in the future."
Old Yao smiled.
His gaze towards Xiao Yan was filled with confidence.
He had witnessed too many miracles happen on this young man before.
"Alright, then I'll rest for a while and practice later."
A hint of subtle excitement flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes.
He had inadvertently almost created a Dou Technique, and it happened to be the spatial Dou Technique he needed the most.
All along, Xiao Yan had been using basic attack techniques with the Heavy Black Ruler.
And his only Dou Technique was the Earth Rank Low Level Flame Devouring Wave Ruler.
With his current Dou Qi reserves, he couldn't use it more than a few times.
Just as he put the Qi replenishing pill into his mouth, Xiao Yan abruptly stood up again.
"Teacher, did you hear that? Such a powerful roar. That sound must be from a Dou King level Magic Beast at least, right?"
Xiao Yan looked surprised, gazing towards the direction the sound came from.
"Yes, indeed it's a Dou King level Magic Beast. Within its range, there are also some equally formidable auras. They should be engaged in a battle."
Old Yao's senses were more detailed than Xiao Yan's.
"Someone is fighting a Dou King level Magic Beast, huh?"
A flicker of surprise crossed Xiao Yan's face, unable to suppress his inner curiosity. "Teacher, shall we go and take a look?"
"As you wish."
Old Yao was indifferent to this.
At the same time.
In a small valley near the edge of a mountain.
At the mouth of the gourd-shaped valley, a robust white giant ape, about three to four meters in size, stood upright.
The white ape exuded a chilling breath, and thick breaths were exhaled from its huge nostrils, forming two white smokes.
Its arms were long, and its claws were the size of an adult's head.
Its bloodshot eyes contained ferocity and murderous intent, glaring fiercely at several figures around it.
"Han Yue, Lin Xiu, stay back. If this guy goes crazy, we won't have time to take care of you."
Yan Hao wielded a huge iron hammer, its body emitting a black color that reflected a thick, glossy sheen in the sunlight.
"Senior Brother Yan Hao, rest assured, I won't play with my life."
Han Yue responded, while stepping back, she also pulled Lin Xiu along.
"Speaking of which, is there really Core Quenching Body Milk here? This big guy is not easy to deal with. In terms of solo combat, none of us here can match it."
A student from the inner courtyard couldn't help but question.
"Don't worry, I won't joke about this kind of thing. If there are any mistakes later, you can come and hold me accountable. I, Han Yue, won't shirk responsibility."
Han Yue said firmly.
"Senior Sister, I trust you."
Lin Xiu, the only one who knew the truth, naturally sided with Han Yue.
"Everyone, don't be suspicious. The inner courtyard competition is only four months away. If we can really get that thing, it will be enough to further improve our strength during this period. The position of elder will be within our grasp soon."
Lin Xiu Ya let out a clear laughter, soothing everyone's emotions.
Snow Demon Sky Ape is ahead. This is not the right time to have conflicts.
Only by uniting can we have a chance to defeat it.
"Lin Xiu Ya, you make it sound easy. This Magic Beast is comparable to a Dou King-level expert. With our strength, one wrong move could cost us our lives. It's only right to confirm."
A man with a dark complexion rolled his eyes.
In the distance,
Hidden behind a tree, Xiao Yan listened to the conversation of several people, his mouth slightly open, feeling surprised.
"Teacher, there is Core Quenching Body Milk here? That's the essence of the earth!"
He had heard his teacher mention it before.
This kind of thing belongs to the pure power of the earth, condensed through the years of pressure.
After a hundred years, it becomes mist, called Earth Mist, with solid effects.
After a thousand years of condensation, it becomes liquid.
If the quality is higher, it becomes Core Quenching Body Milk, with the miraculous effect of cleansing the marrow and refining the bones.
Moreover, Core Quenching Body Milk contains extremely pure earth power, which can even help some individuals at the peak of their ranks to break through the barriers between advancements.
"Teacher, is there any way to sneak in?"
Xiao Yan asked, looking at that area.
"It's difficult. Whether you fly or sneak, you might be discovered. I suggest you wait.
If I'm not mistaken, this Snow Demon Sky Ape harbors a raging bloodline. With just them, once it's provoked, they may not be able to handle it."
Yao Chen analyzed.
They would wait for these people to suffer losses and leave, then they would have a chance to pick up the pieces.
"Teacher, the problem is Senior Brother Lin Xiu is also there. If he takes action, the Snow Demon Sky Ape probably won't be able to withstand it."
That's what Xiao Yan was truly worried about.
"You can only pray that Lin Xiu doesn't want to reveal his true strength in front of these people."
With a hint of helplessness in his tone, Yao Chen's words echoed in Xiao Yan's mind.
