• Xu Haoyu went to the second floor of the Dou Technique Pavilion and decided to select a powerful technique for each of his seven attributes.
• Xu Haoyu chose Golden Wheel Slash, Thorn Killing Array, Water Dragon Bite, Earth Crack Lava Surge, and Earth Separation and Union Art.

• Xu Haoyu told Xu Tianlong that he would focus on Heaven Splitting Palm and Thousandfold Strike while using the other techniques to broaden his options, and Xu Tianlong accepted his reasoning.

• Xu Tianlong and Xu Haoyu chose the peak sixth-order Blazing Heavenly Flame Tiger as their target.
• The Blazing Heavenly Flame Tiger refused to give up its Origin Flame, so Xu Tianlong threatened to take its Magical Core and use it to refine a Pure Yang Pill.

After learning that the Pure Yang Pill could strengthen his body, Xu Haoyu considered using it to prepare for absorbing a Heavenly Flame and resolved to seek the other required materials.

• Xu Tianlong blocked the Blazing Heavenly Flame Tiger's attack and crushed it with the Xu Family's Heaven Splitting Divine Palm.

• Xu Haoyu subdued the Beast Flame and left a Soul Imprint in it, gaining control of the flame.
• He infused the flame with his Fire Wood Dou Qi and told Xu Tianlong that he expected to refine Rank 4 Pills.
• Xu Haoyu swallowed the flame, and its energy stirred the vortex in his dantian, prompting him to ask Xu Tianlong to guard him as he began to break through.
• Xu Tianlong guarded Xu Haoyu while the vortex compressed its liquid energy and drew Heaven and Earth Energy into his body.
• Xu Haoyu endured the vortex’s explosive surge until his Seven-Colored Dou Crystal formed, advancing him to Da Dou Shi and granting him Dou Qi Emission and Dou Qi Armor.

After refining the Beast Flame and advancing to Da Dou Shi, Xu Haoyu stayed in the Ten Thousand Mountains to cultivate and practice his Dou Techniques. He strengthened the flame with the Blazing Heavenly Flame Tiger's Heart Blood Essence while Xu Tianlong looked ahead to settling old grudges and changing the Tianxin Empire's ruler.

• Xu Haoyu suppressed the Beast Flame's aura to keep his newly formed Dou Crystal from expelling it, then tested his Dou Qi Emission and Dou Qi Armor.
• Xu Haoyu persuaded Xu Tianlong to let him remain in the mountains and train, and the two found a cave where Xu Tianlong butchered the Blazing Heavenly Flame Tiger.
• Xu Haoyu cooked the tiger's meat with its own flame, then cultivated through the night as Xu Tianlong predicted he would surpass him and one day settle old grudges and take over the Tianxin Empire.
• The next day, Xu Haoyu practiced Golden Wheel Slash, cutting through ancient trees and boulders, and planned to train in several other Dou Techniques.
• Xu Haoyu drank the Blazing Heavenly Flame Tiger's Heart Blood Essence, refined it, and used its energy to strengthen his Beast Flame.
