Yang Shan instinctively prepared to use "Three Thousand Thunder Movement" to make a run for it, Xiao Xun'er laughed and said:

"Junior, don't run away. I had to borrow some help to find you. You've already won."

Xiao Xun'er said softly:

"Let's get ashore first. Look, you're all wet."

When Xiao Xun'er entered the water, she was protected by the Golden Emperor Burning Flame, so there was no way that water could get on Xiao Xun'er.

If any other opponent said "Don't run away" at this moment, Yang Shan wouldn't believe a word of it.

But when Xiao Xun'er says "stop running," it really means there's no need to run anymore.

Could a senior student possibly trick him?

After leaving the river, Yang Shan the Sea Heart Flame to evaporate the water off his body in an instant.

Xiao Xun'er stood to the side, smiling as she looked at Yang Shan, without saying a word.

But Yang Shan saw Spirit Deer stroll over and affectionately nuzzle Xiao Xun'er's arm.

Not far away, many animals that look almost exactly like those in the real world, such as foxes, squirrels, and Nine-Joint Wolf, ran towards Xiao Xun'er.

Yang Shan finally understood how Xiao Xun'er had found him! "Senior, that platypus..."

Xiao Xun'er stroked the neck of the Spirit Deer beside her. "I specially learned a technique that allows me to communicate with small animals."

Back when they were at the Jia Nan Academy, Yang Shan eloped with Xiao Xun'er and they traveled around together.

Xiao Xun'er used to enjoy going into the mountains and forests to find "animals" that weren't even considered magical beasts.

Although Xiao Xun'er had not found the "village," she saw in these small animals the "simple and honest villagers" that Yang Shan had mentioned.

The small animals, like the villagers, lived at the very bottom of society, inconspicuous and unremarkable.

But the little animals are more grateful.

The tabby cat that Xiao Xun'er had fed brought back what it considered the most precious "dead mouse" as a return gift a day later.

Therefore, after leaving Jia Nan Academy, Xiao Xun'er would also take the opportunity to go to some mountains and forests.

If she encounters small animals in danger, she will lend a helping hand.

They even learned special methods for communicating with small animals.

Yang Shan and Xiao Xun'er sat on the ground, surrounded by small animals playing around them.

Xiao Xun'er somehow managed to get all sorts of food and fed it to the small animals.

"Junior, do you know, I thought that after I learned the ' Spirit Language Art ', I would be able to chat smoothly with the animals, but I didn't expect that even if I could communicate, they could only express their thoughts using the simplest words."

Compared to humans, the vast majority of "animals" have very low intelligence.

The animals living at the very bottom of the Dou Qi Continent, which correspond to the real world, should be the same.

Yang Shan: "What words do you often hear the animals say, senior?"

Xiao Xun'er: "Thank you, you're so kind. And the gift... and you're so ugly."

At this point, Xiao Xun'er felt somewhat annoyed:

"Junior, I'm not ugly, am I?"

Yang Shan laughed heartily:

"Of course you're not ugly, senior, but in the eyes of a male monkey, you're definitely not as pretty as a female monkey!"

Xiao Xun'er is not as pretty as the mother monkey. If those "prodigies" of the Ancient Clan heard this, Yang Shan would have died eight hundred times over!

But Xiao Xun'er just laughed along with Yang Shan.

The two felt as if they had returned to their days at the Jia Nan Academy.

Xiao Xun'er always asks questions that are unrelated to cultivation, simple yet seemingly not simple.

"Junior, I think these little animals are really lovable. In their understanding, it seems there is only simple good and bad. They are happy as long as they have food and a place to sleep. They simply cannot think of complicated things."

Yang Shan thought for a moment and replied, "Small animals know too little, so they are simple-minded, easily satisfied, and once they decide on something, they stay committed for life."

Xiao Xun'er tilted her head and looked at Yang Shan:

"So, the villagers in the village that you mentioned, junior, are actually content and simple-minded because they are isolated from the world, know too little, and receive too little?"

Yang Shan nodded. "They have received too little, that's from our perspective. From their own perspective, they have received quite a lot."

Xiao Xun'er nodded:

"I understand, junior. Thank you. If it weren't for you, I probably would never have seen these easily overlooked corners of the world."

Yang Shan: "When you stand too high, everything looks small when you look down. And because everything looks so small, you can't see anything clearly."

Xiao Xun'er sighed inwardly:

"So my father's problem is that he's at a higher level and has to see too much; I shouldn't blame him."

Yang Shan was still troubled:

"This is already a dream, so how come there are so many small animals here? Otherwise..."

Xiao Xun'er: "Or else? You really want to stab me?"

Yang Shan: "Senior, you didn't say that when you hit me before. It's all a dream, so why not try cutting it to see how it feels? I'm just curious."

Xiao Xun'er looked at Yang Shan with great interest:

"If you're really curious, then I'll grant your wish this time."

Yang Shan quickly waved his hand:

"Never mind, senior, don't take it seriously. I was just teasing you. I would never actually cut you up!"

Xiao Xun'er smiled and said, "I was just kidding, but I'm also a little curious, and I hope you can satisfy my curiosity."

Yang Shan: "What are you curious about?"

Xiao Xun'er: "I'm very curious, what other trump cards does my junior have up his sleeve?"

Yang Shan: "Senior, you can't just reveal your trump card so easily!"

Xiao Xun'er: "My Dou Qi is enough to withstand one more attack. If you can block this attack head-on, I'll give you a Dou Technique."

[Ding! Player, please note that you have successfully passed the Heart Demon Trial. Your opportunity has been triggered: Xiao Xun'er invites you to a direct Dou Technique with her. The better you perform, the stronger the Dou Technique Xiao Xun'er will bestow upon you.]

Yang Shan jumped up abruptly, rolling up his sleeves as he shouted, "Come on, today I'll show you what true dual cultivation of thunder and fire is!"

Seeing Yang Shan Battle Intent spirit, Xiao Xun'er nodded:

"Junior, I knew you! You're cunning and shrewd; you always find a way to hide something!"

When Xiao Xun'er called him "cunning and treacherous," Yang Shan Shanquan took it as a compliment. "Senior, the Dou Qi Continent is as dangerous as a tsunami. If you don't hide more, the ship will easily capsize!"

"That's true, I should be more discreet in the future."

Xiao Xun'er also stood up.

The two of them flew into the sky together.

Xiao Xun'er's demand was that Yang Shan confront her head-on.

To put it simply, it's a matter of each side making a move and seeing whose move is stronger.

The little animals on the ground all looked up to watch the spectacle.

From their perspective, Xiao Xun'er is on the left and Yang Shan is on the right.

Being simple-minded, they naturally thought that Xiao Xun'er on the left would win.

"Senior, come on."

Xiao Xun'er said earnestly:

"Junior brother, I'm using the third seal of the Emperor Seal — the Overturning Earth Seal. This move is extremely powerful, and one must reach the Dou Zong level to practice it."

Yang Shan: "Then why are you still using it?"

Xiao Xun'er said matter-of-factly, "But I've already reached the Dou Zong. I'm just currently suppressed to the Dou Huang Peak, which is still barely usable."

Yang Shan: "."

The Dou Emperor pulled out a move that only Dou Zong could learn.

Yang Shan had a lot of troubles, but he dared not say them!

Xiao Xun'er is already gathering her Dou Qi.

It is unknown what grade of the cultivation technique Xiao Xun'er is currently practicing, but the strength of Xiao Xun'er's Dou Qi Intensity has indeed surpassed that of the five-colored "seven-colored character seal".

Combined with the Golden Emperor Burning Flame, its power was so great that Yang Shan had difficulty breathing! Yang Shan dared not be negligent.

Five hundred points of Dou Qi evaporated instantly.

Then another 500 points of Dou Qi! Another 500, and another 500. In total, Yang Shan consumed 3,000 points of Dou Qi! And none of the Dou Technique Yang Shan had learned consumed such terrifying amounts of battle qi.

It's not over yet! Yang Shan's more than 3,000 points of Soul Strength also disappeared in an instant! Xiao Xun'er raised her right hand.

The subtle, dust-like power of heaven and earth slowly gathered in his palm.

The power of heaven and earth gathered more and more, condensing into clouds above Xiao Xun'er's head.

"Rise!"

With Xiao Xun'er's soft shout, the Golden Emperor Burning Flame ignited from her palm.

The clouds were like oil that ignites instantly, causing the golden flames to spread in a flash.

The golden flames seemed to rival the sun in brilliance! And Yang Shan's side was equally impressive.

Behind him, hundreds of phantom images of demonic beasts materialized.

It blotted out the sky and was even more magnificent than the golden clouds.

After "The Lingering Spirit Hundred Howls" reached its peak, Yang Shan was troubled because he had no other Dou Technique that could be used in conjunction with it to unleash the strongest burst of power, the Dou Skill Overload.

However, Yang Shan, who holds an authoritative position in "Overload research", has never given up his research on Overload techniques.

With a flexible mind, Yang Shan racked his brains and finally came up with a new research and development idea:

Since it can consume additional Dou Qi and Soul Strength to make the phantom of the demon beast spew out Sea Heart Flame.

If the Dou Skill Overload, why bother combining two Dou Technique?

Behind Yang Shan, energy began to gather in the mouths of the hundred phantom demonic beasts.

Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning and Sea Heart Flame each account for fifty percent!

Xiao Xun'er is very lucky.

This move, which is truly his "secret weapon," was something Yang Shan had only recently mastered.

Due to the unique calculation formula of "The Lingering Spirit Hundred Howls".

Yang Shan sacrificed several times the amount of Dou Qi and Soul Strength to integrate this Dou Technique with the Sea Heart Flame and the Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning.

When Overload is triggered, the fifty phantoms of both Sea Heart Flame and Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning will be based on the damage of "Lingering Spirit Hundred Howls" under the condition of "fifty phantoms".

(Character's base attack power + Dou Qi Intensity + Sea Heart Flame) × (1 + 5) × 2.

Fifty Phantom Sea Heart Flame: (Base Attack 4483 + Dou Qi Intensity 3088) × (1 + 500 ÷ 100) × 2 = 90852!

Fifty Phantom Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning: (Base Attack 4833 + Dou Qi Intensity 3284) × (1 + 500 ÷ 100) × 2 = 97402!

The damage from Dou Skill Overload is three times the sum of the two! In addition, we also need to take into account the 35% amplification from Blood Roar and the 30% amplification from the Extreme Lightning Mystic Classic "Anger Lightning".

Yang Shan nearly exhausted his Dou Qi again this time.

So he simply activated the "Extreme Lightning Way" in the "Extreme Lightning Mystic Classic", which further increased the damage amplification of his Dou Technique by 50%!

(90852+97402)×(3+1+0.35+0.3+0.5)! Final result: 969508.1!

We were so close to breaking a million!

With just that number, one shot would be enough to cripple Little Zi Yan, that Ancient Void Dragon of the Void!

Xiao Xun'er didn't think anything of it at first.

After all, the power fluctuations accumulated by the hundred phantom demonic beasts were far less than her Overturning Earth Seal.

But seeing Yang Shan's confident expression, Xiao Xun'er understood that there must be something fishy about this move!

"Junior, watch out!"

"Senior, bring it on!"

Xiao Xun'er's eyebrows furrowed, and above her head, the golden clouds of the Golden Emperor Burning Flame descended as her hand touched the ground.

Meanwhile, the hundred illusory demonic beasts behind Yang Shan simultaneously spewed out Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning and Sea Heart Flame! To prevent the triggering of the Overload from being interfered with by the Golden Emperor Burning Flame, Yang Shan deliberately moved the detonation point forward! Fifty Sea Heart Flame and fifty Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning converged at one point.

In that instant, the world lost its color.

Xiao Xun'er was deafened by the explosion.

She watched as her invincible Golden Emperor Burning Flame was gradually devoured by intertwined azure flames and Crimson Thunder!

The explosion spread to an increasingly wider area, evaporating the surging waterfall with its terrifying energy, and drying up and cracking the riverbed.

Xiao Xun'er felt herself being embraced and rapidly moved away from the terrifying explosion.

"Senior, how dare you daydream at a time like this? Are you out of your mind?"

Xiao Xun'er in Yang Shan, showed no sign of struggle. Instead, she looked at Yang Shan earnestly and smiled with satisfaction, "My junior brother is truly amazing!"
