Chapter 258: Xiao Yan practices the Burning Technique
"Xiao Yu, I have left two years of Fallen Heart Flame in your body. It can constantly temper your Dou Qi in your body. I believe that within two years you will be able to cross the Dou Spirit bottleneck from a Great Dou Master and reach the Dou King level. You and Xun'er should practice well in the inner courtyard during these two years. I will come back to see you after I have dealt with some things." Retracting his hand, Xiao Se smiled at Xiao Yu.
Hearing this, Xiao Yu was reluctant but still nodded, "I'll wait for you."
"Xun'er, you are special. The sub-fire of the Fallen Heart Flame is not suitable for you. I don't have anything to give you. It seems that you are still using the advanced Xuan-level skills. This low-level earth-level fire-attributed skill "Nine-Layer Phoenix Fire Art" will be used as an overuse for you first." Xiao Se turned his gaze to Xun'er, smiled slightly, and took out a fiery red scroll from the storage ring.
"Thank you, cousin Xiao Se." Seeing that Xiao Se also prepared something for her, Xun'er's pretty face immediately revealed a gentle smile and she smiled sweetly.
Xiao Se nodded slightly, looked at Medusa and Die, and said, "Die, Shasha, let's go."
As he spoke, Xiao Se took the two of them out.
Looking at the three people's disappearing backs, Xiao Yu's eyes flashed with disbelief. He tilted his head to look at Xun'er and asked uncertainly, "Xun'er, that little pervert seemed to call Queen Medusa "Sasha" just now. Did I hear it right?"
Xun'er shook her head, her expression remaining the same, as if she had expected this.
Gama Empire.
The back mountain of Xiao family in Wutan City.
From within a cold cave, bursts of wild laughter were being heard at this moment.
"Haha. Haha. It's been four years. Four whole years. I've finally returned to being a fighter again."
(ps: Let's sort out the timeline here. Nalan Yanran broke off the engagement after the protagonist attended the Alchemist Conference, when he was fourteen years and a few months old. Xiao Yan was twelve years old when his Dou Qi was sucked away. Now the protagonist and Xiao Yan have just turned sixteen. Because Xiao Yan's Dou Qi was replaced by the protagonist, and he did not have Xun'er's help to break through to the ninth level of Dou Qi, it took him more than a year and a half to break through.)
Lying on the cold stone, laughing for a long time, Xiao Yan slowly breathed, his face filled with undisguised joy, he moved his body, sat cross-legged again, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and sank his mind into his body.
With the help of the fighter's inner vision auxiliary skill, he clearly saw a palm-sized milky white cyclone slowly rotating in his lower abdomen.
After opening his eyes again, Xiao Yan stood up and stretched his numb limbs. He raised his head, grinned, and looked at Yao Lao who was floating like a ghost at the entrance of the cave. He smiled and said, "Teacher, I finally succeeded."
"Well, your talent is better than I thought. It only took you a year and a half to break through from the third stage of fighting spirit to that of a fighter. You have accomplished something that ordinary people would take years or even decades to accomplish." Yao Lao stroked his beard and nodded.
"No, I'm still far from it. There's only one and a half years left before the three-year agreement. I need to work harder than before." Xiao Yan clenched his five fingers and said solemnly. He really didn't want to endure that kind of humiliation again.
"Don't worry, as long as you complete the training tasks I assigned to you, by then, Nalan Yanran will definitely not be your opponent." Yao Lao said with a smile.
"Yes." Xiao Yan nodded heavily, a flattering look suddenly appeared on his face. He stretched out his hand and said tactfully: "Teacher, although I also trust you, but you see that I have already broken through to the Douzhe level, isn't it time to give me a Dou Qi technique?"

Hearing this, Yao Lao's expression became serious: "What kind of skills do you plan to practice?"
"That's it. The one that's even more bizarre than the Heavenly Rank, and can evolve by devouring strange fire." Xiao Yan touched his nose and laughed dryly.
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Yao Lao did not show any surprise, and said in a deep voice: "Have you thought it through? Swallowing the strange fire is a life-or-death situation. If you fail, then your ending may be even more miserable than death, and even your soul will be annihilated by the strange fire."
"Nine deaths and one escape, even the soul will..." Hearing this, Xiao Yan's face turned pale, his voice gradually weakened, and he fell into silence and entanglement.
Looking at the silent Xiao Yan, Yao Lao sighed lightly, and a complicated look passed over his old face. After a long time, he finally spoke: "For this kind of thing, only you can choose, and I can't interfere too much, but I want to ask you a question. You seem to be very interested in that person named Xun'er."
"Huh?" Hearing what Yao Lao said, Xiao Yan's face immediately turned red, and he responded weakly: "I just think of her as my sister."
"Sister Hao? Other people may not know, but I can't understand it. Although I have been sleeping before absorbing your fighting, it is not known to the outside world. According to my observation, it seems that from the age of four or five, you have admired her. Just take her as a sister? "
At this point, Yao Lao glanced at Xiao Yan and smiled faintly: "In other words, if one day she lies in the arms of another man, what will you do?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yan's face froze, he clenched his fists, and said in a deep voice: "It will be very uncomfortable. I want to kill that man and take Xun'er back."
"Having said this, I will not say any more. The red scroll is a low-level earth-grade fire-attributed technique, and the black scroll is the one that is even more bizarre than the heaven-grade technique. I name it the Burning Technique." Yao Lao nodded slightly, and with his palms sucked, two scrolls, one red and one black, flew out from the black storage ring in Xiao Yan's hand and landed on his palm.
Looking at the two scrolls in Yao Lao's hands, Xiao Yan whispered, "Teacher, is it true that only if I practice the Burning Technique can I prevent Xun'er from being snatched away by others?"
"No, if she practices, she may not be snatched away. If she doesn't practice, she will definitely be snatched away." Yao Lao shook his head and sighed, "Not only is that girl stunningly beautiful, but her talent is also rare in the Douqi Continent. Even if I am at my peak, I am afraid that her future achievements will be difficult to match."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan fell silent again. In his mind, he recalled Nalan Yanran's humiliation of him, and imagined Xun'er lying in the arms of another man in the future. His eyes were red with anger. He reached out to take the black scroll from Yao Lao's hand and smiled dumbly, "Although I am afraid of death, I am more afraid of losing my dignity. Whether it is Nalan Yanran's humiliation of me in the past, or watching Xun'er lying in the arms of another man in the future, I can't stand it. Because I don't want to accept my fate, I have to fight hard."
As he spoke, Xiao Yan carefully opened the scroll and took a look.
In an instant, his facial expression became extremely interesting. Why did this action look so familiar?
