Suction Palm

Suction Palm

At this point, even Yao Lao himself felt it was no longer appropriate to stubbornly believe she was coveting Xiao Yan or something on him.

Even if she was after the Flame Mantra, there had been no need for her to go this far.

Besides, at this point, she had not mentioned a single word about the Flame Mantra.

Sigh... could it be that that brat really had stumbled into some incredible luck and picked up such a good helper for nothing?

Yao Lao frowned almost imperceptibly, yet he was still somewhat unwilling to believe it. After all, he was someone who had suffered a huge loss from exactly this sort of thing before.

Still, thinking about it, she probably would not make a move against them right now...

Having settled on this point in his heart, Yao Lao took out his Medicine Cauldron and began to Open the Furnace to refine pills.

Yao Lao's side could not be disturbed, so Yao Wan's gaze fell onto Xiao Yan.

The Dou Techniques on Xiao Yan were rather interesting.

After training until he was a little tired, Xiao Yan stopped and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead.

"What is Wan Guniang doing?"

"Yao Lao is refining pills, and I can't help, so I came to take a look at you."

Yao Wan folded her arms across her chest and looked at Xiao Yan with great interest.

"But the Dou Technique you're using seems a little strange. It doesn't look like an ordinary Dou Technique... do you want me to teach you a few moves?"

"Uh? Wan Guniang?"

Xiao Yan hurriedly waved his hands. "You're a Dou Wang. There's no need to bully a tiny Dou Zhe like me, is there?"

"Hmph, when did I say I was going to bully the weak with the strong?"

Yao Wan smiled, then placed both hands behind her back and said, "I won't use Dou Qi Wings, and I won't use Dou Qi Armor. I'll only use a Dou Zhe's level to exchange a couple moves with you. How about it?"

Xiao Yan frowned. Although she put it that way, Wan Guniang fighting him could not really be considered giving him leeway.

After all, the gap between them was far too great.

Although his physical strength could be considered fierce among those of the same realm, Xiao Yan had not forgotten who had trained this body of steel and iron for him.

"What is it? Don't dare?"

Beneath the bamboo hat, the corners of that devastatingly beautiful Pretty Face lifted slightly.

"What's there to be afraid of!"

Xiao Yan took a deep breath. He knew very well that he probably could not avoid this fight today, but this was still his first time sparring with someone like Wan Guniang...

If he said he felt no pressure at all, even Xiao Yan himself would not believe it.

But hesitation and shrinking back were, in the end, not colors that belonged to a young man.

As Xiao Yan suddenly stomped hard on the ground, stirred his Dou Qi, and cupped his fists, he said, "Then Wan Guniang, be careful!"

"Whether I need to be careful or not depends on your own performance."

Yao Wan finally drew out the left hand she had kept behind her back and spoke.

Xiao Yan took a deep breath, then rushed toward Yao Wan in a few quick strides.

"Eight Extremities Collapse!"

"Oh my, in such a hurry to use your trump card?"

Yao Wan teased him, then circulated her Dou Qi and directly collided with the charging Xiao Yan.

Although from the outside she looked no more than a delicate woman hiding her face, Xiao Yan knew especially well just how powerful Wan Guniang's fists were when facing an enemy.

They even shook his hands until they ached.

But what shocked Xiao Yan even more was not this. It was that the young girl before him was clearly also using a Dou Technique, and it seemed to be exactly the same Dou Technique he was using!

What was going on?

Did Wan Guniang already know this Dou Technique?

Or had she secretly learned it at some unknown time?

Xiao Yan subconsciously widened his eyes, but very soon, he vaguely discovered something was off...

Wan Guniang's Dou Qi circulation... was so strange...

"Oh, so this Dou Technique circulates like this...?"

Yao Wan's murmur to herself instantly made Xiao Yan's pupils shrink sharply, and then he guessed at a nearly impossible possibility.

"Wan Guniang, the Dou Technique you're using is..."

"Eight Extremities Collapse. I just learned it. You can treat it as a crude version of yours."

However, Yao Wan's answer undoubtedly confirmed the idea in Xiao Yan's heart that could be called both insane and terrifying.

"Circulating Dou Qi after just one look really is a little reckless. Looks like next time, I'll need to make more targeted improvements for this move."

As Yao Wan spoke, her surging Dou Qi pressed down over Xiao Yan's.

Xiao Yan was not surprised by this part at all. After all, Wan Guniang was a Dou Wang expert. For a Dou Zhe like him to compete with her in the thickness of Dou Qi was no different from seeking death.

But the move Wan Guniang had inadvertently displayed just now truly gave Xiao Yan a fright.

With only a single glance, she had roughly learned the Dou Qi circulation method of Eight Extremities Collapse?

How was that possible? Dou Qi circulated inside the body. How had Wan Guniang seen it?

Perhaps the shock Yao Wan's strike had brought him just now was simply too great, to the point that Xiao Yan did not immediately react to the fact that he had already been sent flying.

Only when he came back to himself and was already prepared to take a heavy fall on his back did he see the young girl growing farther and farther away from him merely stretch out a hand. It was as if a whirlwind had formed in her palm and pushed outward, directly sucking him back.

"Xiao Yan, are you all right?"

After Yao Wan raised her hand and sucked Xiao Yan back, she gently set him down.

"I'm fine... but Wan Guniang, the Dou Technique you used was...?"

"Suction Palm. I rubbed it together myself for fun. Wait, you don't know Suction Palm?"

Yao Wan seemed quite interested, but halfway through speaking, she seemed to realize something and looked at Xiao Yan with some confusion.

"I'd love to learn this kind of strange and unusual Dou Technique."

Xiao Yan shook his head. He had now vaguely realized that Wan Guniang was probably the sort of unparalleled genius who could casually create Dou Techniques. Comparing himself with her was nothing but asking for suffering.

"You didn't get that thing? A pitch-black iron piece or something..."

Yao Wan pondered for a moment, hesitated, then only just realized that the timing seemed a little off. It seemed quite normal that he could not have gotten it.

"Iron piece? No."

Xiao Yan shook his head.

"Ah, then forget it. If you don't have it, you don't have it. It's fine. It's the same if I teach you."

As she spoke, Yao Wan circulated her Dou Qi and concentrated her Spiritual Strength, extracting from her mind the set of Suction Palm she had created herself. Then her jade-like finger lightly tapped Xiao Yan between the brows.

Xiao Yan immediately felt as if enlightenment had been poured into him, and afterward, a cultivation method for Suction Palm appeared in his mind.

"Suction Palm, seizing people and retrieving objects...?"

Xiao Yan murmured.

"This can't be considered any powerful Dou Technique, but as a functional Dou Technique, it's qualified."

Yao Wan beckoned, and a branch by her feet flew over and fell into her hand.

"See? Just like this."

"At the very start, you might only be able to produce a tiny bit of suction force, but as your training gradually improves, pulling on branches, stones, or your own weapon, even enemies, won't be a problem."

Yao Wan tossed the branch in her hand and smiled. "How is it? Impressive, right?"

"Did you really figure out this Dou Technique yourself? Wan Guniang?"

Recalling the cultivation method for Suction Palm, Xiao Yan subconsciously touched the spot between his brows and could not help asking.
