All-Rounder

Having landed a successful blow, Xiao Yan did not continue to conceal himself. Instead, he parted the branches and leaves in front of him, leaped into the air, and revealed himself.

While Xiao Yan certainly toy with this Seventh Grade Magical Beast to death in the shadows, that wouldn't meet his needs—he couldn't always hide in the dark when fighting the younger generation of the Gu Clan.

The Life Spirit Flame, originally used to conceal its aura, has now merged with the Green Lotus Core Flame. The two were originally similar in color, and after merging, it is still green, only a little lighter than the Life Spirit Flame and a little darker than the Green Lotus Core Flame.

The green flames suddenly surged, transforming into a meteor about ten feet in size that fell from the sky and landed directly on the wild boar that had just been hit hard.

"Boom!"

Although the meteor was only composed of flames, it was no less powerful than a real meteorite falling from the sky. It directly smashed the wild boar into the ground, and the exploding flames scattered in all directions. The ground within a radius of a thousand meters trembled violently under this blow. Trees broke and fell, the earth collapsed and caved in, and the lake water was evaporated by the terrifying heat, turning into thick water vapor that rose up.

Xiao Yan flapped his wings, instantly creating a gust of wind that dispersed the water vapor, revealing the scene below.

At this moment, the Savage Fang Wild Boar had lost all its imposing presence as a Seventh Grade Magical Beast. The mane that should have stood up high on its back had disappeared, its extremely defensive skin was charred black, and even one of its ferocious tusks was broken.

If it had used Defense Dou Skill, its condition would have been much better. However, having just been hit by Xiao Yan's Soul Attack, the Savage Fang Wild Boar's soul was unstable, its brain was dizzy, and its body was completely defenseless, which is why its physical body also suffered severe damage.

Xiao Yan confirmed the condition of the Savage Fang Wild Boar, nodded with satisfaction, and then waved his hand. Several balls of green flame reappeared, transforming into wild beasts that surrounded the boar for the final harvest.

As for Xiao Yan himself, he watched from a hundred meters away, exposing himself to their senses, but did not approach.

The Savage Fang Wild Boar with its bright red eyes stared intently at Xiao Yan. In this mountain range, when the intelligence of Fifth Grade Magical Beast was no less than that of a human, it already knew its fate: either to be killed as prey or to be subdued as a servant.

"A mere Dou Emperor..."

A deep voice emanated from the throat of the Savage Fang Wild Boar, causing the earth to tremble. A rich, earthy-yellow light once again enveloped its massive body, forming an incredibly thick layer of armor. The Fire Beast's attacks could only cause cracks to appear on the armor.

At the same time, the armor is connected to the earth and recovers extremely quickly, making it impossible to break through in a short period of time.

However, the Savage Fang Wild Boar did not rely on the power of the earth or Xiao Yan to exhaust itself. Instead, it pushed off with its limbs, causing the surrounding space to distort rapidly. With a flash of silver light, its body covered a distance of a hundred meters, transforming into human form, and punched Xiao Yan in the right chest.

Even after being ambushed and provoked by this young human, the Savage Fang Wild Boar still dared not kill him, only severely injuring him before fleeing—this talent must be backed by someone.

Just as the Savage Fang Wild Boar was lost in thought, a fist enlarging and enveloped in green flames appeared in its field of vision.

"Bang!"

Another burst of flames erupted, Savage Fang Wild Boar flew back at an even faster speed. Xiao Yan, on the other hand, was propelled backward dozens of meters by the recoil of the erupting flames, thus avoiding the Savage Fang Wild Boar's attack.

"Yes, after refining the Green Lotus Core Flame, my physical body was already quite powerful, comparable to those with strong physical bodies of Earth Attribute or Gold Attributes of the same level."

"Now I have refined another Flame of Life Sub-flame, further strengthening my physical body and Cross-Tier Combat... Although the opponent is seriously injured, it is still a Magical Beast with a physical body stronger than a human. I can suppress it. Now I am invincible at the Dou Huang Realm, and I can even fight against an Initial Dou Ancestor."

Xiao Yan roughly summarized his current combat strength, then glanced at the Savage Fang Wild Boar that had burrowed underground to escape, and added, "It seems that I still need to learn two Movement Dou Skills: one agile Movement Dou Skill to move and dodge in battle; and one speed-type Movement Dou Skill to chase enemies or escape."

The Xiao Clan's inherited Dou Technique naturally include corresponding Movement Dou Skill. Xiao Yan quickly found two that suited him: one was the Earth Tier Advanced, Silken Play; the other was the Earth Tier Intermediate technique, Explosive Flame Charge.

These two techniques are not entirely about Movement Dou Skill. The Silken Play combines Soul Power and Dou Qi to form transparent threads that are invisible to the naked eye. It can perform many incredible actions in an instant by "thoughts", and can also interfere with or even control the enemy's actions, and can even tear apart their bones and muscles in an instant.

The Explosive Flame Charge uses the violent energy of Fire Attribute Dou Qi to accelerate an impact. It can be applied to the whole body for a collision, or to the elbows, heels, etc. to increase the power of punches and kicks.

Most importantly, the main difficulty in cultivating the Silken Play lies in the Soul Power, while the difficulty in cultivating the Explosive Flame Charge lies in the Fire Energy, and these two aspects are precisely Xiao Yan's strengths.

Even a Dou Emperor would need to spend several months to gain any progress in cultivating an Earth Tier Dou Technique, and several years of hard work to achieve mastery.

As for why he didn't learn simpler Xuan Tier Dou Skill, it's naturally because the inheritance given by Xiao Xuan didn't contain that kind of trash.

Xiao Yan estimated that he would be lucky to have a few days to cultivate, and that he was just cramming for the last minute. He started his research with the principle of doing his best if he could, and if not, so be it.

Sure enough, after Xiao Yan had roughly learned how to use the Explosive Flame Charge to accelerate his entire body, a familiar person came to his door.

Xiao Yan glanced indifferently at Ling Quan, who had just entered the Dou Emperor and whose aura was weak, and thought to himself, "Why is it this outsider who came here again?"

Could it be that the Gu Clan possess some Secret Technique that allows them to fight beyond their current realm?

That shouldn't be a society for someone outside the clan, right? I, the pampered son of the clan Patriarch, haven't even learned a single Ancient Clan Dou Skill!

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes and stared at Ling Quan. The pressure of Eight Star Dou Huang Peak was released and enveloped Ling Quan, who seemed to want to say something.

"How is this possible?!"

The boastful words that were about to come out were instantly choked back, turning into an incredulous exclamation, and Ling Quan's face involuntarily twisted.

To break through to the Dou Emperor, Ling Quan paid an unknown price, working day and night to complete missions, earn merits, and receive inheritances, all with the goal of one day surpassing Xiao Yan's realm and defeating him.

Now, however, he faces the prospect of being utterly defeated by Xiao Yan.

Looking at Ling Quan, whose face was completely distorted by jealousy, Xiao Yan felt inexplicably better and said calmly, "To be able to break through to Dou Emperor in such a short time, even though your Floating Dou Qi, is already quite remarkable given your talent."
