Chapter 196 Advance to Dou Wang!
Deep in the inner courtyard, in a window-facing room of a quiet pavilion, two figures stood one after the other at the window. Su Qian had changed into a brand new robe and had a complicated mood.
Xiao Yuan was still wearing a white robe, and there was a strange fragrance on his body. The owner of this fragrance, Su Qian was very familiar with, was the charming woman who chased and beat up the old man before.
No need for Xiao Yuan to explain, Su Qian could figure out the relationship between him and Queen Medusa. Although the process may be all wrong, the result is almost the same.
"I wonder what the great elder wants from me?"
Xiao Yuan asked with a smile.
"Haha, please pay attention to the students. How far have you developed your strength now? Don't lie to me. If you can act under the pressure of a strong man from the Dou Zong, if you say that you have just been promoted to Dou Ling, even if you are The relationship between the mysterious Dou Zong is very close, so I have to make your kid suffer a lot!"
Su Qian turned around, carefully looked at Xiao Yuan, who was not showing off his appearance, pretending to be dignified, and said with a cold snort.
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan stopped talking nonsense with Su Qian. He coughed dryly, touched his nose, and whispered as if he was muttering: "I have just been promoted to the Nine Star Dou Ling."
"Oh, it turns out that there are already nine-star fighting spirits!"
Su Qian nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, stroking his beard, showing an expression that was indeed the case.
But he quickly reacted. With a shake of his hand, he pulled out a few beards. At the same time, his eyes widened and he looked at Xiao Yuan. His tone rose several degrees: "Huh? How many stars fighting spirits???"
"Nine stars."
Xiao Yuan blinked, looking innocent.
When Su Qian heard this, she thought she might have grown old at the end of the year and had something wrong with her ears.
How many months have you entered the inner court? Just soared directly from the great fighting master to the peak of fighting spirit?
How many abilities does this kid have hidden behind him?
"Great Elder?"
Seeing Su Qian stunned, Xiao Yuan also stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes.
"I didn't expect that your talent is so terrifying. Even if it is... I'm afraid it's not as good as you."
Su Qian's words were a bit confusing, and Xiao Yuan really couldn't understand him this time.
"How high is your current fighting ability to that of a Star Fighter?"
Su Qian ignored Xiao Yuan's doubts and continued to ask.
"Well, I did kill a Snow Demon Sky Ape that was comparable to the Five-Star Fighting King before, but I can't say what level it is at now."
Xiao Yuan said with some uncertainty.
"Five-star Dou King? No wonder he can act under the pressure of Dou Zong. Such fighting power is indeed not easy."
Su Qian nodded when he heard this, but did not continue to ask, but fell into silence.
? ? ?
Why don't you talk again? Nowadays, grandfathers like to tell stories to keep people's appetites?
Xiao Yuan looked at Su Qian with some doubts, his mind was full of doubts.
Su Qian was silent for a long time before he said slowly:
"Looking at you like this, there is no need to participate in the next strong ranking competition. You have just broken through the nine stars, and you still need to settle for a while. When you feel better, come back to me and see if you can break through. The realm of Dou Wang.”
After saying that, Su Qian suddenly added:
"Let me remind you that your brother Xiao Yan's little girlfriend, Gu Xun'er, is about to leave the inner courtyard. Their family has informed the academy and will send someone to pick her up when the time comes. I believe you should treat her very well. You don't know anything, right? But your background is obviously not as big as that clan. I'm afraid there will inevitably be some conflicts, and I won't be able to deal with some juniors. But if we, the students of Canaan College, are attacked by someone in the inner courtyard, Being bullied is not a glorious thing.”
Seeing Su Qian's meaningful expression, Xiao Yuan also raised his eyebrows.
This great elder has something in his words!
"What the Great Elder means is that you want me to break through the Douwang as soon as possible, and then show them the style of our students from the inner courtyard of Canaan College?"
Xiao Yuan asked with a smile.
"Not only that, there is one more thing that I need your help with. You have the strange fire. You must have noticed some potential crises in the inner courtyard, right?"
Su Qian nodded and continued.
"Does the Great Elder refer to Fallen Heart Flame?"
Xiao Yuan said thoughtfully.
During this period of time, although he had been concentrating on training, he could vaguely sense some of the strange movements of the Fallen Heart Flame.
Obviously, it has accumulated strength and is waiting for an opportunity to break out of the tower!
Seeing that Xiao Yuan really knew about this, Su Qian nodded.
If Xiao Yuan knew nothing about this matter, he would be worried. After all, it meant that Xiao Yuan was not skilled enough in controlling the strange fire. If there really was a riot by the Fallen Heart Flame, he would not worry about letting Xiao Yuan. Take action.
"Yes, it is the Fallen Heart Flame. To tell you the truth, the frequency of riots by the Fallen Heart Flame has become more and more frequent these days. I am afraid that soon, that beast will try to attack the seal. By then, it is very likely that the inner courtyard will There will be a catastrophe!”
Su Qian said solemnly.
"One more person means more strength. If you can break through Dou Wang as soon as possible, with your familiarity with strange fire, you might be able to help the inner courtyard survive this disaster. Therefore, I hope you'd better be here Before the strong ranking competition, break through to the King of Fighting. Of course, after breaking through, you will be qualified to become an elder in the inner courtyard, so there is no need to compete with those students. "
After saying that, Su Qian turned his attention to Xiao Yuan.
"Well, then when the time comes, my cultivation resources and so on"
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan frowned.
"No matter what, the elders have more training resources than students. You don't have to worry about this. As long as you can bear it, even if you want to go to the last level to practice, I will give you a try. convenient."
Su Qian waved his hand and said generously.
"Then I have no problem. Don't worry, Great Elder, Xiao Yuan will never let you down!"
Xiao Yuan nodded and said confidently.
Seeing Xiao Yuan's confident assurance, Su Qian nodded with satisfaction.
Although Xiao Yan has good potential and is still a fifth-grade alchemist, if he really has to face the situation where the Fallen Heart Flame attacks the seal, he still needs someone like Xiao Yuan with relatively strong combat power.
After a while, Su Qian first arranged a soundproof Dou Qi mask, and then sent a message and asked:
"The fighting skills that the dean taught you, how are you doing?"
Xiao Yuan was slightly surprised by this double insurance operation.
However, accidents are accidents, and it is not a bad thing for Su Qian to take this matter so seriously.
"It can be regarded as preliminary cultivation. I have been practicing in the back mountains before. I defeated the five-star Snow Demon Sky Ape with the help of the earth-level fighting skills passed down to me by the dean."
Xiao Yuan honestly said.
"Well, that's not bad!"
Su Qian nodded with confidence when he heard this. He was able to practice the earth-level fighting skills to the extent that he could display them while practicing fighting qi. It can be seen that Xiao Yuan was extremely talented and worked extremely hard at the same time.
Such people usually achieve great things!
Moreover, Xiao Yuan's promiscuous prowess was also impressive. It was really amazing that he could make a strong Douzong warrior come to the academy for him.
After so many years of living, Su Qian saw Xiao Yuan act so outrageously for the first time.
"Okay, go ahead. If you can practice so quickly, you naturally don't need the guidance of others for your own practice. If you need it, just come to me and I will try my best to help you."
"Then I'll take my leave!"
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan bowed his hands and then turned and left.
When Xiao Yuan returned to the Lion Heart Club, Xiao Yu was practicing fighting skills in the open space behind the attic.
Xiao Yu does not have as terrifying talent as Xiao Yuan, so while she is practicing fighting spirit to reach the level of a five-star great fighting master, her low-level earth-level technique, Blue Water Condensation Wave, has been successfully transferred to another level, and can be matched with the matching fighting technique of the same name. , but have been unable to get started.
Looking at Xiao Yu who was practicing fighting skills in the open space of the attic, Xiao Yuan subconsciously prepared to walk over, but the strong desire to survive rang alarm bells in his heart, so before Xiao Yu could react and someone was approaching, Xiao Yuan used Three Thousand Thunderbolts. , ran away on the spot.
After Xiao Yuan disappeared, Xiao Yu turned around with some feeling and looked in the direction where Xiao Yuan had been standing before, with a trace of doubt in his eyes.
Illusion?
She shook her head and immediately continued to practice her fighting skills.
After returning to the room, Xiao Yuan directly started the silky small combo. The water attribute fighting energy surged out and washed over his body. The wind attribute fighting energy blew away the strange fragrance on his body. Then he put on a new set of clothes and made sure that he After he no longer smelled of other women, he put away his clothes and walked out of the room.
Coincidentally, just after taking a few steps, she met Xun'er who was coming back from outside, but she seemed a little absent-minded, lowered her head, and didn't see Xiao Yuan not far in front of her.
Seeing this, Xiao Yuan thought for a moment and understood why Xun'er was like this, so he took the initiative to talk to her: "Xun'er, why are you listless?"
"ah?"
After hearing this, Xun'er came back to her senses and looked at Xiao Yuan in front of her. She was stunned for a moment, and then shook her head in a panic: "No, I'm fine."
After that, she subconsciously walked around Xiao Yuan, preparing to avoid Xiao Yuan's inquiry, but as soon as she walked around, she stopped, turned her back to Xiao Yuan, lowered her eyes slightly, and asked with a sigh: "Xiao Yuan Brother Yuan, can we talk?”
"certainly."
Xiao Yuan nodded and said loudly.
Seeing that Xiao Yuan agreed, Xun'er seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and then took Xiao Yuan to a room in the attic specially designed for discussion.
"Brother Xiao Yuan, I might have to leave."
After closing the door, Xun'er looked at Xiao Yuan sitting opposite and said with a hint of helplessness in her tone.
"Go? Where are you going?"
Xiao Yuan couldn't directly say that he knew that Xun'er was one of the eight ancient tribes. The people from the ancient tribe had to look serious and ask seriously.
"Brother Xiao Yuan must have already guessed that I have been away from the clan for many years and have postponed my return several times. This time, it seems that I really can't put it off. However, I don't know what to do with this news. I'm worried that he won't be able to accept it, but our clan is too big to reveal it to you right now, so I don't know what to do.
After much deliberation, Brother Xiao Yan usually listens to Brother Xiao Yuan the most. Brother Xiao Yuan should also be able to guess Xun'er's intentions, right? "
Xun'er could see that Xiao Yuan was not surprised by what he said, and he said with a wry smile at the moment.
"Don't worry, Xiao Yan will be fine as long as I'm here. Besides, you should also believe in that kid. He's not someone who can't get back up after being hit!"
Xiao Yuan nodded and comforted softly.
"Sure enough, brother Xiao Yuan can always see further. In this case, I feel a lot better after telling this matter. Brother Xiao Yan, I'll leave it to you."
Seeing this, Xun'er was completely relieved, stood up, and bowed slightly to Xiao Yuan to express her gratitude.
"You girl, you are so polite to me, but I still hope to hear you call me third brother when we meet in the future. As for the power behind you, no matter how powerful it is, I will not have the slightest fear. Believe me, there may be some resistance between you and Xiaoyan, but the final result will definitely be wonderful. As for those who stand in front of you, I, as a brother, will naturally take action. "
Xiao Yuan waved his hand and said with a slight smile.
"Thank you so much, Third Brother!"
Hearing this, Xun'er's eyebrows curved, and a bright smile appeared on her face again.
"Haha, okay, don't look so sad, otherwise Xiaoyan will be able to tell that there is something wrong with you before you even say anything."
Seeing Xun'er finally showing a smile, Xiao Yuan also said with a smile.
"okay!"
Xun'er nodded obediently when he heard this, then blinked his eyes playfully and waved his hand: "Goodbye, Brother Xiao Yuan!"
After that, he ran out of the door jumping up and down.
"Tsk, it's a good thing that this girl came to the Xiao family, otherwise it would be great fun if my name was her biological brother."
After Xiao Yuan sensed Xun'er leaving, he said to himself with a slightly weird expression.
"Hey! I forgot about Sister Xiao Yu!"
After a moment, Xiao Yuan came back to his senses, patted his head and muttered in annoyance, before the cyan lightning flashed and his figure disappeared directly into the room.
In the next month, Xiao Yuan's time was evenly distributed between helping Xiao Yu practice fighting skills, practicing fighting skills himself, and studying medicine refining techniques.
Cultivation goes by without knowing how long it takes, and soon, a month passed by in a hurry, and Xiao Yuan finally completed the task of this stage for the time being. The fighting spirit in his body has also been solidified, and he is ready to advance!
Therefore, after notifying Elder Su Qian in advance, Xiao Yuan entered the Tianfen Qi Refining Tower after it closed that night.
Entering the Tianfen Qi Refining Tower, Su Qian didn't waste any time. He immediately grabbed Xiao Yuan's shoulders, and then disappeared in a flash.
What made Xiao Yuan feel amazing was that what Su Qian took him was not the usual route down the tower layer by layer, but directly into the core area blocked by the iron gate.
Although it is a huge deep cave, there are also spiral downward roads around it.
However, because the road was very wide, the two of them were walking on the outer part closest to the edge iron gate, so they were quite far away from the deep cave in the center. However, even so, Xiao Yuan also felt an extremely hot temperature.
Under this temperature, the yin and yang inflammation in the body is also quite active.
"arrive!"
As a strong Douzong expert, Su Qian was naturally very fast. Before Xiao Yuan could fully digest what he saw, he felt his body stop moving.
At the same time, the originally dark environment was suddenly brightened by the dazzling light. Xiao Yuan covered his eyes with strange fire like a conditioned reflex, and scanned the surroundings with his eyes.
This is an extremely spacious and empty space in the tower. It occupies a very large area. From a visual inspection, it is almost wider than any of the floors above. And since there are not many practice rooms here, at a glance, there is a sense of The feeling of emptiness.
Xiao Yuan's eyes moved around, and after a moment, they stopped in the center in front of him. There was a huge hole about dozens of meters wide. His eyes slowly moved up, and Xiao Yuan's eyes suddenly narrowed. I saw an equally huge hole at the top of the nearly 100-meter-high floor, pointing very accurately at the deep hole below. Apparently, every floor of the Burning Qi Tower today seemed to have such a hole, and, These holes are still connected to each other.
Su Qian on the side waved his hand, and two figures suddenly flashed out from nowhere, and finally stopped about ten meters away from the entrance of the cave.
Xiao Yuan glanced at the two figures. They were obviously elders of the inner courtyard, but they didn't seem to show up often, so he had never seen them.
"sit down!"
Su Qian pointed to the ground aside, where there was a special jade platform that exuded an emerald green luster and looked a bit strange.
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan took a step forward, and then sat down. Suddenly, a faint feeling of warmth and coolness penetrated in. Sitting here, it seemed that even the hot temperature of the outside world was isolated. .
Seeing Xiao Yuan sitting on the jade platform, Su Qian turned around and whispered a few words to the elder. Then, the two elders slowly approached the entrance of the deep cave, made hand seals with their hands like lightning, and finally whispered Shen drank.
As the two men stopped shouting, a wave of fluctuations suddenly surged around the empty deep cave, and then a layer of somewhat illusory energy ripples slowly appeared in Xiao Yuan's gaze.
"It looks like a special energy blockade. It seems that the inner courtyard is very tightly guarded against the Fallen Heart Flame." Looking at the energy ripples that seemed illusory but actually extremely solid, Xiao Yuan suddenly said in his heart.
After the energy ripple shield emerged, the two elders moved their hands. Suddenly, a pale white light shield the size of a human head slowly floated out from the deep hole. Finally, the energy ripples penetrated and floated two meters above the ground. The position is up and down.
Xiao Yuan already knew what he was going to do, and there was a look of expectation in his eyes.
Seeing Xiao Yuan's face, Su Qian smiled faintly and waved her sleeves. Suddenly, the color of the light white mask quickly became transparent, and then, a strange mass appeared that seemed invisible but could be seen with the naked eye. Flame appeared in front of Xiao Yuan.
"This is the Origin Heart Flame." Su Qian stared at the invisible flame, and then explained to Xiao Yuan: "This kind of Origin Heart Flame is extremely difficult to obtain. We spend a lot of manpower every year to get three of them. To about four groups, and it depends on luck. This thing is not of much use to people above the level of Dou Wang, but below it, it can pave the way for them to be promoted to Dou Wang. Of course, this There are also considerable risks, and the pain of physical exercise is extremely difficult to endure. If you are not careful, you will not only fail, but also cause considerable harm to yourself. "
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan showed no sign of flinching, but rather looked forward to it.
"Haha, I know I can't scare you, so just close your eyes and concentrate, don't be distracted, and try to take this opportunity to break through the Dou Wang!"
Seeing Xiao Yuan's expectant look, Su Qian nodded with satisfaction. Then with a wave of his hand, the light ball flew to the top of Xiao Yuan's head. Finally, under his intense gaze, it burst with a bang. , the invisible flame fell straight down and penetrated from the top of his head.
As the invisible flame penetrated Xiao Yuan's head, his body suddenly trembled slightly. Then, his face turned red like coals, and there was even a trace of white mist. It seeped out from his forehead.
"Great Elder, can Xiao Yuan really succeed?"
The two elders looked at Xiao Yuan's young face with some worry and asked in a low voice.
"Haha, although this Xinyan body training is successful, it can generally only make it easier for him to be promoted to Dou Wang in the future. It cannot achieve the effect of directly promoting them to Dou Wang. However, with his talent, as long as he steps through At this level, it’s not difficult to advance to the Fighting King level!”
Hearing this, Su Qian smiled, stroked his beard, and said confidently.
Pain, pain that goes deep into the bone marrow! Refining the Earth Core Body Tempering Milk before was never so painful!
This is how Xiao Yuan felt at this time. After the invisible flame entered his body, his whole person felt as if he had been thrown into a furnace. Moreover, this fire still burned from within his body, with blazing fire, hot temperature, and momentum. , as if it won’t stop until people are burned to ashes.
White mist seeped out from the top of his head, and the meridians, bones, and even blood in Xiao Yuan's body seemed to turn into a transparent color at this moment. Invisible flames seeped out from everywhere in the body, and then like maggots in the tarsus, Burning anything in the body that can be burned. Even the fighting spirit hidden in the Qi Mansion could not escape this disaster. He could almost clearly feel that the fighting spirit in the Qi Mansion was like boiling water, constantly churning.
In this kind of burning pain that penetrates into the bone marrow, every minute and second feels like a year. Even Xiao Yuan has the urge to fall into coma on the spot, but in the burning of the invisible flame, his sensory organs, It seems that it has become more sensitive, and this is constantly aggravating the pain. This kind of exercise is simply a kind of torture.
After these years of practice and experience, Xiao Yuan is quite confident in the resilience of his will, and because he has successfully refined the Yin and Yang dual flames, he has some adaptability to strange fires, but even so, he can It is so painful to be subjected to this Heart Flame exercise. It is hard to imagine how terrible the burning pain would be for those who had not adapted in the past.
The tormenting time always passed extremely slowly. However, as the severe pain lasted, Xiao Yuan gradually became numb. After paying less attention to the pain in his heart, he was finally able to separate his mind. I feel the slight changes in my body caused by the original heart inflammation.
In his Qi Mansion, the fighting spirit became more and more condensed. The fighting spirit that was originally consolidated was now compressed even more tightly. And this will be the most fundamental foundation for him to successfully advance to the Fighting King!
Bones, meridians, and even muscles are like the fine steel in the fire. They are tempered at a slow but clearly perceptible speed, making them even tougher and full of explosive power.
Exercising the body with Origin Heart Flame is a time-consuming matter. Although Xiao Yuan has endured the most difficult period, he spent the next three days undergoing the calcining of Heart Flame, and in this During the calcining time, he could clearly feel that the inside of the body, including the meridians, bones, etc., were greatly strengthened.
When the time reached the third day, Xiao Yuan's Heart Flame exercise was finally coming to an end. The flush on his face was slowly fading away. A condensed breath rose from his body. Although this There is not much difference in strength between the aura and before undergoing physical training. However, Xiao Yuan clearly knows that now he is truly one step away from the King of Dou!
Uh-huh!
As Xiao Yuan opened his eyes, a ray of light burst out, and the two elders waiting on the side were also startled!
Just now, they even had the illusion that if Xiao Yuan attacked them, even they would not be Xiao Yuan's opponent!
This little guy is just as the great elder said, he is not simple!
But before the two elders could say anything, Xiao Yuan prepared the elixir from Najie that Xiao Yan had taken the time to help him refine in the past month, and swallowed it in one gulp!
Wow!
Accompanied by the "Ice Spirit Pill" made from the fifth-level ice-attribute magic core of the Snow Demon Sky Ape and the various medicinal materials that Yao Lao had researched to be most suitable for compatibility, Xiao Yuan was sent into his mouth, and a cold ice storm swept through Xiao Yuan's body, wreaking havoc everywhere!
Xiao Yuan, who had experienced several times, was not panicked at all. He immediately mobilized the Yin and Yang double flames and refined the ice storm into drops of pure, cold energy water drops, which fell into the Black Water Qi Palace.
At the same time, frost condensed on Xiao Yuan's body surface, but in a moment, Xiao Yuan turned into an ice sculpture!
The two elders looked at this scene and were also a little surprised.
Is this little guy really going to take this opportunity to break through the Dou Wang?
At this time, Xiao Yuan was refining the energy in the pill with all his strength to advance!
In the Black Water Qi Palace, the black Dou Qi sometimes became Qi and sometimes became water, absorbing and assimilating all the energy injected into it, and transforming it into the most fundamental water-attribute energy, strengthening the Qi Palace.
As the Qi Palace strengthened, black light also emerged above the kidneys, and then spread to various parts of the body, wrapping it up.
A warm feeling like spring rain flowed through Xiao Yuan's limbs and bones. At the same time, Xiao Yuan's aura was also steadily improving.
Time passed unknowingly, and the white-robed boy under the ice was also transforming into a strong man step by step!
