Success, Great Sun Glazed True Fire

Chapter 3: Mastery Achieved, Great Sun Glazed True Fire

For an ordinary person, such immense energy would have been enough to burst all their meridians and dantian. But Xiao Yang possessed a Heaven-Tier Cultivation Technique, and the energy of the Amethyst Accompanying Source was continuously refined into his own Dou Qi.

Supported by this vast energy, Xiao Yang's "Great Sun Glazed Art" finally completed a full cycle smoothly. The originally milky-white vortex also transformed into a brilliant, dazzling gold.

At the center of the vortex, a golden flame appeared as well. It was Xiao Yang's Source Fire—the Great Sun True Fire!

As his cultivation advanced in the future, the Great Sun True Fire would grow ever more powerful. If Xiao Yang could reach the Dou Saint level, its power would not lose to any Heavenly Flame ranked among the top ten!

He circulated the Dou Qi within his body, merging it into his bones, flesh, blood, and skin according to the unique method recorded in the Fighting Skill, "Vajra Glazed Body."

This fusion imposed extremely harsh demands on the physical body. Fortunately, the Dou Qi cultivated through the "Great Sun Glazed Art" was made to complement it. It naturally possessed extraordinary body-strengthening effects, allowing Xiao Yang to bypass this prerequisite.

As his Dou Qi circulated, Xiao Yang's body suddenly erupted with traces of golden light. Amid the blazing radiance, his childlike body abruptly grew to the size of an adult man's. Faint sounds of twisting bones quietly rang out.

Within mere dozens of breaths, Xiao Yang's height more than doubled amid the intense golden light. His fair skin was now tinged with a dark golden hue.

Xiao Yang abruptly opened his eyes. His sandbag-sized fist, seemingly forged from gold, smashed fiercely into the rock wall before him.

Spiderweb-like cracks instantly spread out! A boulder several zhang wide was blasted into pieces!

The point struck by that punch was reduced directly to powder!

But after that punch, the golden light around Xiao Yang rapidly dimmed, and his body swiftly shrank. In the blink of an eye, he had returned to his former appearance.

Xiao Yang clenched his teeth, cold sweat streaming down his forehead. "Damn it! It hurts! I really underestimated this cultivation technique's side effects!"

When "Vajra Glazed Body" was cultivated in the original work, its side effects had been described as: skin torn apart, muscles swollen until they burst, bones shattered by the shock...

Although Xiao Yang's matching Dou Qi cultivation technique had greatly weakened the side effects, that inhuman agony was still not something easily endured.

Furthermore, Xiao Yang's cultivation was currently far too weak. The time he could maintain "Vajra Glazed Body" was extremely limited—probably only enough for a single punch.

However, that one punch alone was enough to blow apart an ordinary Dou Shi and severely injure a Da Dou Shi like his Old Dad, Xiao Zhan.

He slowly sat back down. Golden Dou Qi flowed through his limbs, bones, flesh, internal organs, and skin, gradually repairing and strengthening them beneath its nourishment.

Xiao Yang estimated that if this continued, then at the same level, his physical strength would likely be no weaker than little Zi Yan's.

Moreover, after mastering "Vajra Glazed Body," the glazed golden light and Great Sun True Fire contained within his body would have tremendous killing power against those sinister ghosts from the Soul Hall Protectors.

Thinking about it that way, it was no wonder that the "Great Sun Glazed Art" paired with "Vajra Glazed Body" had been completely lost.

Slowly rising to his feet and stretching a little, Xiao Yang took out the "Avici Dao Three Blades" that the system had just rewarded him with.

As a Heaven-Tier Fighting Skill, "Vajra Glazed Body" consumed far too much energy, and Xiao Yang could not sustain it for long at his current stage. But "Avici Dao Three Blades" was just right.

This blade art had only three forms, yet when used, it was as though it gathered all the evil aura between heaven and earth into the blade. Ghosts wailed and gods howled; heaven grieved and earth mourned. Once the blade light passed, enemies would feel as if they had been thrown into a mountain of blades, sliced apart alive.

As for suffering deviation? What a joke. Did they really think the Heaven-Tier "Great Sun Glazed Art" was just for show?

A body like vajra, a heart like glazed glass. Indestructible and untainted, flawless and pure—how could that be empty talk?

Besides, if he showed mercy to his enemies, was he supposed to wait for them to chop him to death?

Bringing his five fingers together and using his palm as a blade, Xiao Yang immediately began practicing the three blade forms.

Black Blade Aura curled around his palm. With just one downward slash, he effortlessly split a huge bluestone more than ten zhang ahead of him in two.

He slowly exhaled a breath of stale air and circulated his cultivation technique. Xiao Yang's eyes regained their clarity, and the killing intent in his heart faded away.

The power of "Avici Dao Three Blades" was truly remarkable. It had nearly reached the pinnacle of Profound-Rank Fighting Skills in this world. If he could truly master this blade art and subdue the demonic nature within it, its power would definitely not be weaker than an Earth-Rank Fighting Skill!

Slowly rising, Xiao Yang left the Back Mountain and headed toward the Xiao Family.

One month later, a bombshell piece of news spread through Wutan City: Jia Nan Academy's annual recruitment was about to begin.

Xiao Yang rubbed his chin, considering whether he should take advantage of this blank period before the plot began and go to Jia Nan Academy for further study.

The Black-Corner Region map held quite a few good treasures.

Leaving aside everything else, the Life Devouring Pill alone would be an excellent aid.

Xiao Yang still possessed a Rank 6 Magic Core from the Amethyst Winged Lion King. As long as he absorbed it with the Great Sun True Fire and used it to nourish himself, breaking through to Dou Emperor would be a certainty.

The medicinal effects of the Life Devouring Pill would also be resolved along with it.

Therefore, the Life Devouring Pill would bring Xiao Yang nothing but benefits.

If he was lucky, by the time Nalan Yanran came to break off the engagement and the plot began, Xiao Yang might already be a Dou Emperor.

A twelve-year-old Dou Emperor! Just thinking about it was exciting.

In the original work, that arrogantly smug Gu Clan Black-Clad Army Leader Ling Quan had already been in his twenties when he first appeared at Jia Nan Academy, yet he had only been a Dou Emperor.

As the number one academy on the Douqi Continent, Jia Nan Academy was practically a sacred place in the hearts of all young people.

As long as one could graduate from the academy, their future path would be almost completely smooth!

Jia Nan Academy was located in the Black-Corner Region, at the border where the Jia Ma Empire met two nearby great empires. In that lawless region, Jia Nan Academy was not only an independent kingdom, but also a rare patch of pure land.

Yet once outside the academy, the harsh environment of the Black-Corner Region could give every student sufficient experience, ensuring they would not become flowers raised in a greenhouse.

Every year, Jia Nan Academy sent out a large number of instructors to recruit students with exceptional cultivation talent from within the three great empires.

Jia Nan Academy's recruitment valued cultivation talent, not identity or status.
