Xiao Yao radiated a dazzling golden light, so intense that it was impossible to look directly at him.
The students who came to cause trouble all looked at Xiao Yao with fear in their eyes.
Those students who followed the burly man were especially terrified, their legs trembling, fearing that Xiao Yao would attack them.
After all, in their eyes, that was a very powerful and strong man who had already advanced to the Dou Ling, yet he was defeated in one blow by Xiao Yao.
If they were to be targeted by Xiao Yao, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Xiao Yao felt the boiling Dou Qi within his body, and the feeling of fullness and power made Xiao Yao extremely satisfied.
Compared to his stagnant progress in cultivating the Earth Tier Dou Technique Brilliant Meteor, Xiao Yao was quite adept at cultivating the Blood-Burning Qi-Combustion Secret Art.
This secret technique can be strictly divided into two parts: the Blood-Burning Chapter and the Qi-Combustion Chapter.
"Burning Blood" refers to burning blood energy, while "Burning Qi" refers to burning Dou Qi.
After truly beginning his cultivation, Xiao Yao became certain that this secret technique was extremely compatible with his own.
Xiao Yao actually has two abilities that he has never fully developed: his physical recovery speed and his Dou Qi recovery speed.
No matter how severe the injury, it can be quickly healed simply by basking in the sunlight, and the same applies to the depletion of Dou Qi.
Under these circumstances, Xiao Yao failed to utilize these two abilities in the battle.
At this moment Blood-Burning Qi-Combustion Secret Art fully activated these two abilities.
Whether it's burning blood energy or burning Dou Qi, both abilities can quickly restore Xiao Yao's condition.
It can be said that Xiao Yao is using the Blood-Burning Qi-Combustion Secret Art without any side effects, which is unimaginable for other practitioners of secret techniques.
This time, he chose to burn his Dou Qi and unleash his power, defeating the newcomer to the Dou Ling in one fell swoop.
Burning Yang-Attribute Dou Qi emanated from Xiao Yao's body in a blazing manner.
This is what created the scene in other people's eyes where Xiao Yao was surrounded by blazing golden light.
"Roll!"
Xiao Yao a low shout, and the others quickly helped the burly man up and fled in panic.
"It's a pity. If we went into the arena with him, we could steal a lot of Fire Energy from him, which would make this guy suffer both physically and mentally."
Xiao Yao said with some regret.
He was only thinking about resolving these problems as quickly as possible and hadn't considered this aspect.
It seems that if I encounter any troublemakers in the future, I'll invite them to the arena for a match.
For more than three months, Xiao Yao has almost never missed a day of cultivation at the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.
The fourth level requires 4 Fire Energy per day, and with only energy entering and not leaving, it has almost consumed half of the Fire Energy that Xiao Yao had previously accumulated.
In fact, Xiao Yao had quite a few ways to earn Fire Energy: hunting magical beasts, participating in arenas, and even helping people refine medicine.
However, Xiao Yao was so engrossed in cultivation that he had no time to earn Fire Energy.
In addition, since we still have plenty of Fire Energy, we haven't paid much attention to the issue of Fire Energy.
The thought flashed through Xiao Yao's mind, but he kept it in mind.
If there's an opportunity to earn Fire Energy later, I'll make a profit from it.
He then sensed his own condition and found that his fighting Dou Qi had been fully restored.
There are actually different types of secret methods to enhance strength, one of which involves relying on external forces.
The Heavenly Fire Three Mysterious Transformations, for example, utilizes the power of Beast Flame and Heavenly Flames.
Another type is based on oneself; the Blood-Burning Qi-Combustion Secret Art belongs to this category.
By "burning" one's own Dou Qi in a special way, one can enhance their strength.
However, secret techniques based on oneself always have a drawback: one's own strength is limited to a certain level, and if one wants to obtain power at a higher level for a long time, one will inevitably overdraw one's strength.
In other words, a short-term outbreak is not a problem.
This is like a person using all their Dou Qi to unleash a high-level Dou Technique; the power they can unleash can far exceed their current level.
Just like when Xiao Yan was being chased by Mu She in Qingshan Town, he forcibly used an Earth Tier Dou Technique, which unleashed power far exceeding his level at that time, injuring Mu She despite being of a higher rank.
This kind of self-based secret technique works similarly, but if you don't have enough Dou Qi when performing high-level Dou Technique, you might get stuck halfway through.
However, secret techniques are different. Even if Dou Qi is exhausted, a secret technique can continue to extract energy until it is completely depleted.
Just like Xiao Yao, who is currently Seven-Star Great Dou Master, the power he unleashed earlier was already approaching that of Dou Ling.
The price to pay is burning more than 70% of one's own Dou Qi.
If others want to maintain this power that is close to that of Dou Ling, they must continue to burn their Dou Qi, which will lead to a depletion of their Dou Qi.
The energy within the Dou Crystal was excessively extracted, ultimately leading to a drop in cultivation level.
However, Xiao Yao was able to quickly recover his Dou Qi when bathed in sunlight.
The power he gained, approaching that of Dou Ling, by burning 70% of his Dou Qi, can be maintained indefinitely.
As for the Blood-Burning Chapter, Xiao Yao also tried it. It consumed a great deal of blood energy, but the improvement was also significant.
Most importantly, whether it's the Blood-Burning Chapter or the Qi-Combustion Chapter, the power gained from burning can be freely allocated, choosing to enhance the physical body or the Dou Qi.
This may also be what makes the Blood-Burning Qi-Combustion Secret Art unique.
This right to choose freely seems rather useless.
However, that's only because Xiao Yao's physical body and Dou Qi are currently at the same level, so no matter which aspect he chooses to enhance, the improvement will be about the same.
However, if Xiao Yao breaks through to the Dou Ling later, but his physical body remains at the third-tier strength.
The enhancement chosen to be applied to Dou Qi will be even more significant.
Alternatively, one could choose to focus on physical enhancements to compensate for their own shortcomings.
Now, Xiao Yao can simultaneously burn his Dou Qi and blood qi, raising his strength to around the level of Two-Star Dou Ling, and he can maintain this level for a long time.
If he only pursues explosive power, burning his blood and Dou Qi to the limit, without pursuing sustained combat, he can probably raise his strength to around Five-Star Dou Ling, which is close to advancing to a major realm.
With such strength, Xiao Yao didn't have much time to make a move; he even had to wait for his battle Dou Qi to recover before he could use Dou Techniques.
However, having already reached the Five-Star Dou Ling level, whether or not they engage in Dou Techniques is irrelevant. With a single punch, their power far surpasses that of Seven-Star Great Dou Master when unleashing Dou Technique.
Xiao Yao was very satisfied with the Blood-Burning Qi-Combustion Secret Art. He had a premonition that this technique would be his reliance for a long time to come.
Xiao Yao assessed his own strength. If he didn't have to fight in the arena or be confined to a small space, and if he had enough space and time to fight, he wouldn't fear anyone in the top ten of the Strong Rankings except for Zi Yan, the Dou Wang.
Even a prolonged battle can wear down the opponent.
After all, although Xiao Yao used a secret technique to burn to the limit, the Five-Star Dou Ling he had forcibly enhanced did not last long.
However, he can unleash a powerful attack, then dispel the secret technique, use the Purple Cloud Wings to maneuver, and wait for his strength to return to normal.
With this repeated process, almost no one at the Dou Ling level could outlast him.
