The Terrifying Golden Finger

"Each time I obtain a Heavenly Flame, I'll be rewarded with a Lucky Draw Ticket?"

Xiao Han furrowed his brows slightly and muttered, "It seems that if I want to obtain more Heavenly Flames, I'll also need to acquire the Fen Jue, which can fuse more of them?"

On the Battle Qi Continent, if one wished to fuse these Heavenly Flames, the only way was to obtain the Fen Jue, a technique capable of fusing Heavenly Flames.

Of course, throughout the history of the Battle Qi Continent, there had been super experts who possessed more than two kinds of Heavenly Flames within their bodies without cultivating the Fen Jue.

For example, Xiao Han's ancestor, Xiao Xuan, had possessed three Heavenly Flames within his body. With his own overwhelming strength, he had forcibly made the three flames coexist inside him.

However, people capable of achieving such a feat were exceedingly rare. Most who attempted to possess Heavenly Flames could not withstand their terrifying energy and were ultimately burned to ashes by their overwhelming power.

Even Venerable Yao, Yao Chen, had nearly gotten himself killed when he subdued the Bone Spirit Cold Flame. That alone showed how terrifying Heavenly Flames were, let alone possessing more than one.

"I wonder whether the Extraction Divine Ability can extract the Fen Jue technique from Old Man Yao!" Xiao Han muttered inwardly.

Since the Bone Spirit Cold Flame could be extracted from Old Man Yao, then logically, the Fen Jue should be extractable from him as well.

Of course, there was a certain probability involved. Just like the Black Iron Slab, which possessed numerous attributes, whether he could extract the Dou Technique Palm Absorption recorded upon it depended entirely on Xiao Han's luck.

Old Man Yao had already suffered once at Xiao Han's hands and was now wary of him. Trying to extract another treasure from him would be harder than ascending to heaven.

"Ding dong! Master, the Merge Divine Ability can fuse all attributes. No matter how powerful Heavenly Flames are, they are merely an extreme attribute of heaven and earth. With the Merge Divine Ability, Master can fuse them perfectly." Seeing Xiao Han's concern, System Xiao Ai suddenly spoke.

"No way. So that means I don't need to obtain the Fen Jue at all to fuse numerous Heavenly Flames?" This was simply an enormous surprise for Xiao Han.

This was the Battle Qi Continent. The reason Xiao Yan had ultimately risen to power so forcefully was largely because of the Fen Jue.

Now, the Merge Divine Ability had a similar effect to the Fen Jue. How could Xiao Han not be overjoyed?

With the Merge Divine Ability, Xiao Han could also obtain more Heavenly Flames like Xiao Yan.

"It seems I need to begin collecting the Fragments of Tuoshe Ancient Jade."

Being familiar with the Storyline of Battle Through the Heavens, Xiao Han knew very clearly that before the last Dou Di of the Battle Qi Continent, Tou She Ancient God, disappeared, he had left behind a Dou Di's Mansion within the Void Space.

The Dou Di's Mansion contained countless Heavenly Flames.

The key to opening the Dou Di's Mansion was the Tuoshe Ancient Jade. It had been divided into eight pieces, with each of the Eight Ancient Clans possessing one fragment. The Xiao Clan, where Xiao Han resided, was one of them. Furthermore, Xiao Han knew that Xiao Xun'er of the Gu Clan, also one of the Eight Ancient Clans, had come to the Xiao Clan to obtain the Fragment of Tuoshe Ancient Jade.

"Where could the Tuoshe Ancient Jade be?"

In Xiao Han's memories, there was not the slightest information concerning the Tuoshe Ancient Jade. Such an important relic was most likely in the hands of Xiao Zhan, the Xiao Clan's patriarch.

Xiao Han had never heard his grandfather, Xiao Ding Tian, the Third Elder of the Xiao Clan, mention the Tuoshe Ancient Jade. Xiao Han guessed that this treasure had likely become a clan token passed down through the Xiao Clan as history changed.

"Father, Han Er is already fine. I don't think you need to come visit him anymore."

"That won't do. In my lifetime, I, Xiao Ding Tian, have produced a descendant who reached the Four-star Dou Zhe before even coming of age. Nothing must happen to him!"

"Father, I gave birth to him. He's only your grandson."

"Nonsense. Without me, where would you have come from?"

Just as Xiao Han was planning for the future, three people entered the courtyard outside his door. They were his grandfather, Xiao Ding Tian, the Third Elder of the Xiao Clan; his father, Xiao Hao; and his mother.

The Xiao Clan was one of Wutan City's three great clans and possessed immense wealth and influence. To better cultivate the independence of its direct descendants, every direct descendant was given an independent courtyard residence after turning twelve.

Xiao Han waved his hand, and a stream of Dou Qi transformed into a breeze that opened the door. Only then did he rise and say, "Grandfather, Father, Mother, you're here!"

"Mm."

Xiao Ding Tian nodded and looked Xiao Han up and down. Then, his gaze turned blank, as though a sharp glint flashed through his eyes.

For a moment, under Xiao Ding Tian's scrutiny, Xiao Han had the illusion that he was completely naked.

"Five-star Fighter!" The glint in Xiao Ding Tian's eyes grew brighter as he exclaimed in delight, "You've advanced again?"

"Mm." Xiao Han nodded.

Xiao Han knew that before Xiao Ding Tian, a Da Dou Shi, he could not hide his cultivation realm at all. Fortunately, although Xiao Ding Tian could detect Xiao Han's realm, he could not sense the existence of System Xiao Ai.

"What?" At the side, Xiao Han's father, Xiao Hao, was so shocked that his mouth hung open, the smile on his face freezing. "Han Er, are you saying you've risen another minor realm?"

"Yes, Father." Xiao Han nodded.

After receiving Xiao Han's confirmation, Xiao Hao rejoiced. "You little brat, the speed at which your realm is improving makes even me jealous. How many days has it been? How many days? You've gone from the Seventh Stage of Dou Qi to the realm of a Five-star Fighter. Now I even suspect whether you're really my son!"

"Uh..."

"Uh..."

Xiao Ding Tian and Xiao Han both rolled their eyes at Xiao Hao speechlessly. As for Xiao Han's mother, she scolded, "Master, what are you saying? If Han Er isn't your son, then whose son could he be? That nose, those eyes—if he doesn't look like you, who does he look like?"

"Hehe..." Xiao Hao was simply too happy. With an awkward laugh, he asked, "Little brat, hurry up and tell me, how exactly did you do it?"

"Do what?" Xiao Han asked despite knowing the answer.

"Stop playing dumb. How did your realm improve? I didn't give you much money, and I certainly didn't give you any extra medicinal pills." Xiao Hao looked at Xiao Han curiously.

Before becoming a Dou Zhe, cultivation progressed slowly. But after becoming a Dou Zhe, one's cultivation would advance by leaps and bounds.

In merely three days, Xiao Han had crossed from the Seventh Stage of Dou Qi into the Dou Zhe realm, then risen five more stars afterward. Such terrifying speed had never appeared in the Xiao Clan's known history.

Of course, due to the passage of time and the Xiao Clan's decline, Xiao Xuan, that peerless genius of the past, had been selectively forgotten by the Xiao Clan's ancestors. The reason was simple: Xiao Xuan had exhausted the Xiao Clan's Emperor Dou Bloodline.

A monster!

The talent Xiao Han displayed had already far surpassed the scope of genius. He could be called an unprecedented, peerless monster.

"My realm?" Xiao Han rubbed his nose and said smugly, "Your son doesn't know what happened either. Today, while I was walking with my cousin Xiao Mei, I suddenly advanced."

"You little brat..." Seeing Xiao Han so smug, Xiao Hao laughed as he scolded him, though his heart was filled with indescribable pride.

With such an outstanding son, even a father felt honored.

Now, Xiao Hao was simply waiting for the day Xiao Han came of age, when he would shine brilliantly.
