Jia Xingtian's Disgrace

"Mystic Ice Whirlwind Kill? You've really learned all of Old Man Hai's techniques!"

Seeing this scene, Jia Xingtian showed an expression of appreciation, but he was not flustered. He immediately activated his Dou Qi, and then an earthy yellow light appeared, forming a thick shield in front of him.

It can only be said that this is Mysterious Rank Dou Techniques unleashed by Dou Huang expert. In addition, it is earth-attribute Dou Qi, so its defensive power is extremely terrifying. It actually blocked Xiao Yuan's attack.

If it were an ordinary Three-Star Dou Grandmaster, this attack would be enough to defeat him. However, Jia Xingtian cannot be regarded as an ordinary Da Dou Shi. Nevertheless, Jia Xingtian underestimated Xiao Yuan's Dou Qi reserves! The moment the earth-yellow shield dissipated, a deafening dragon roar resounded, and a Mystic Ice Black Dragon was condensed, carrying waves of icy aura, rushing straight towards Jia Xingtian.

"Another Mystic High-Rank Dou Technique?"

Upon seeing the lifelike Mystic Ice Black Dragon, Jia Xingtian's face also showed astonishment. With the amount of Dou Qi reserves of Three-Star Dou Grandmaster, it was truly absurd to release two Mystic High-Rank Dou Technique in succession while supporting the Douqi Transformation Wings.

Moreover, judging from the fact that this Dou Technique seems to be able to slightly cause fluctuations in the Ice Attribute energy in the air, it is clear that this Dou Technique is probably close to the category of Earth Rank Dou Techniques. Needless to say, the amount of Dou Qi consumed is definitely more than that of ordinary Mystic High-Rank Dou Technique!

However, this should be the kid's limit, right? Sensing the weakening of Xiao Yuan's Dou Qi fluctuations, Jia Xingtian breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was a genius, it wasn't so easy for him to defeat a Dou Huang Peak expert like himself with just a Mysterious Rank Dou Techniques! Meanwhile, Xiao Yan below looked puzzled. He felt something was off. Based on his understanding of his Third Brother, two Mysterious Rank Dou Techniques shouldn't have caused his Third Brother's Dou Qi to become so unstable, right?

Watching Xiao Yuan unleash the Mystic Ice Dragon Flight, forming a hand seal with one hand while holding Ya Fei with the other, his robes flowing and his hair fluttering, Hai Bodong's face also showed a look of daze.

His refreshed and spirited demeanor was just like his younger self! He was practically another "me" in this world! While Hai Bodong reminisced about his glorious past, Jia Xingtian was in deep trouble.

He originally thought that Mystic Ice Dragon Flight was a powerful move, so he didn't guard against Xiao Yuan making any other moves.

Unexpectedly, after the Mystic Ice Black Dragon rushed in front of Jia Xingtian, it opened its mouth as if preparing to roar, but instead spat out terrifying flames that were enough to melt the dragon's mouth.

"Heavenly Flames!"

Feeling the terrifying heat wave coming towards him, Jia Xingtian's voice became a few degrees sharper. The next moment, he was completely engulfed by the overwhelming flames.

Boom! Immediately afterwards, the Mystic Ice Black Dragon also crashed into the Heavenly Flames, transforming into pure Dou Qi, which raised the temperature of the flames to an even more terrifying level. Even though the spectators below were hundreds of meters away, they still felt a scorching heat wave suddenly hit them.

"This... is Da Dou Shi???"

A moment later, the Little Princess asked incredulously.

However, the entire arena was deathly silent; clearly, they were also shocked by Xiao Yuan's terrifying combat power.

Even the usually proud Nalan Yanran trembled slightly and felt a chill when she saw the overwhelming flames of destruction.

With her strength, if she had taken such a hit, she probably wouldn't have survived. It would be a testament to Xiao Yuan's exquisite control over the flames that she was able to leave with a complete corpse.

The once useless young master of Wutan City, who had to politely discuss the annulment of the engagement with him and was incapable of cultivation, has now been reborn like a phoenix after its rebirth.

Nalan Yanran's expression was somewhat complicated. Looking at Ya Fei, who was being held in Xiao Yuan's arms like a divine couple, Nalan Yanran bit her red lips and finally realized that her impulsive actions back then were ultimately reckless.

And now, perhaps this is the price of recklessness. "Hiding the Heavenly Flames within the ice dragon, as expected of Third Brother, he has such a wildly imaginative mind!"

Xiao Yan, who was below, slapped his thigh and said excitedly.

"Hmm, this method is quite ingenious, but if one doesn't have enough control over the Heavenly Flames, it will be difficult to complete this move. In addition, I think that the Heavenly Flames the sky is also a kind of fire attribute Dou Technique. Otherwise, with his current soul power and Dou Qi, if he were to directly unleash the Heavenly Flames like this, he probably wouldn't be able to sustain it for long before his Dou Qi is exhausted!"

The Yao Lao had a keen eye and immediately pointed out the advantages and disadvantages.

"It seems I also need to study this Heavenly Flames more thoroughly. It would be a waste to have such a treasure but ignore it!"

Xiao Yan said thoughtfully upon hearing this.

After all, he's quite confident in his ability to play with fire!

Boom! At this moment, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted in the sky, and the sea of fire was directly blasted back by this aura!

Xiao Yuan and Ya Fei, who were standing in the air, were the first to be hit! Obviously, faced with this crisis, Jia Xingtian could no longer hold back and could only restore his strength Dou Emperor to ensure that he would not be injured.

Not good!

Upon seeing this, Hai Bodong immediately realized something was wrong. With his keen eyesight, he could naturally tell that the sea of fire was no longer under Xiao Yuan's control.

Just as he was about to rush up and grab Xiao Yuan, he was astonished to see that Xiao Yuan's figure, holding Ya Fei, was slowly dissipating from the spot, while Xiao Yuan himself, with Ya Fei in his arms, floated away like a drifting catkin. His elegant appearance, combined with his white robes, truly exuded a touch of ethereal charm, leaving the Little Princess and Nalan Yanran below in awe.

But then, a look of doubt appeared in Nalan Yanran's eyes. Why did this movement technique look so familiar? It was so similar to her Flying Willow Body Technique, yet it was more advanced. How strange! Could it be that Xiao Yuan had another opportunity?

"Whoosh!"

Hai Bodong still appeared beside Xiao Yuan, and after confirming that Xiao Yuan was alright, he nodded with relief.

"To be honest, I really don't have anything left to teach you now. You've graduated, kid. I'd like to learn that trick of hiding Heavenly Flames in the dragon's mouth from you!"

Hai Bodong said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan's expression became more serious. He said, "Hai Lao is joking. With your understanding of the Mystic Ice Dragon Flight Technique, you will probably be able to figure it out sooner or later. I just gave Hai Lao this idea in advance."

"Hehe, you're really arrogant, but you're also quite humble. In short, you did a great job!"

Hai Bodong shook his head speechlessly upon hearing this, patted Xiao Yuan on the shoulder, and then looked at Jia Xingtian with a hint of schadenfreude.

Although Jia Xingtian was not seriously injured, his hemp robe was charred black, some of his beard was singed off, and there was some black ash from his clothes on his face, making him look quite disheveled.

"Hehe, Old Monster, isn't my disciple quite good?"

Hai Bodong asked with a smile.

"Hmph, he almost killed this old man, Hai Bodong, your disciple is really something!"

Upon hearing this, Jia Xingtian snorted coldly, wiped the black ash from his face, but his face was still very dark as he spoke.

Just now he thought that Xiao Yuan, a Three-Star Dou Grandmaster, couldn't do anything to him. Now he thinks that, let alone a Da Dou Shi, even if he found a Dou Ling, he would probably be burned half to death if he suddenly took such a hit.

This kid's fighting style is too unpredictable; it's really hard to keep up with.

However, he was not one to back down from a loss, so he didn't hold it against Xiao Yuan. He dusted off his robes, then flashed to the side of the Little Princess below, said a few words, and took her back to the Imperial Palace.

"Everyone, let's call it a day."

Clearly, given his appearance, it was no longer appropriate for him to linger in front of others.

"Hey!"

Seeing this, Hai Bodong smiled, then glanced at Mittel Tengshan not far away, gave him a wink, and then said to Xiao Yuan, "Let's go."

"Okay! Could you please give Xiao Yan a ride, Hai Lao?"

Xiao Yuan said with a smile.

"Um."

Hai Bodong nodded upon hearing this, then went down and pulled Xiao Yan out. The four of them then flew directly towards the Xiao Residence.

Among the crowd below, Liu Ling's expression was rather unpleasant. He had initially thought that Xiao Yan's talent in refining Medicinal Herbs was merely a matter of luck, which was why he had won first place in the internal test. But now it seemed that Xiao Yan had a Dou Huang expert standing behind him—his teacher, a super strong expert whom even Gu He treated with respect! This instantly shattered his sense of superiority, leaving him somewhat unable to accept it.

As for Nalan Jie, Nalan Su, and Nalan Yanran, the first two were filled with regret, while the latter's mind was in complete chaos.

She simply couldn't figure out whether her rash decision to break off the engagement back then was right or wrong.

If she's right, why does seeing Ya Fei and Xiao Yuan Yuandeng together make her feel uncomfortable? If she's wrong, does she still have a chance to make amends?

She herself was confused.

"Hehe, that old guy is obviously a bit wary of your talent, otherwise, given his nature of always trying to get me to spar with him as soon as he sees me come back, he would never have let you off so easily like he did just now."

After returning to the Xiao Residence, Hai Bodong sneered and said with some disdain.

"Really? I think Jia Lao is quite kind!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan smiled and said.

"Hmph, forget it. He only said that because I'm here with you today. If it were any other time, you would only have two choices: either marry that Imperial Family princess and Jia Ma Imperial Family, or become Imperial Family retainer and join the Imperial Family. There is no third way!"

Hai Bodong and Jia Xingtian were from the same era, so he naturally knew what Jia Xingtian would do for the sake of the Imperial Family's stability.

"Tsk, so you just have to join the Imperial Family, or you'll die?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile.

"Hehe, otherwise, do you think that old guy Jia Xingtian is an easy person to talk to?"

Hai Bodong rolled his eyes at Xiao Yuan and said indifferently.

Then, he saw Xiao Yan standing to the side and said with a smile, "However, if that old guy really makes a move, your brother is no pushover."

Hearing that he had something to say about himself, Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly. "Hai Lao, it's best if I don't use this power."

Then, he changed the subject. "However, if Jia Lao really has other ideas about Third Brother, I wouldn't mind letting the Imperial Family of the Jia Ma Empire change hands again!"

Hearing these cold words, Hai Bodong felt a sense of relief. Fortunately, these two brothers had sided with the Mittel Family; otherwise, he would have been truly uneasy. After all, the Xiao Clan family members were all ruthless to the core! "Speaking of which, that old guy was only on par with me back then, but now he's already Nine-Star Dou Emperor. Sigh!"

Hai Bodong suddenly said with some regret.

"Hehe, Hai Lao, you want the Rejuvenating Spirit Purple Pill, right? Great Elder Teng Shan has already given me the Medicinal Herbs. I'll give Medicinal Herbs to Xiao Yan later, and he'll refine it for you as soon as possible!"

Xiao Yuan immediately understood Hai Bodong's implied meaning and said with a faint smile.

"Haha, it has to be you! This matter depends on you two brothers. I'm done here, you two chat!"

After saying that, Hai Bodong waved his hand and walked out, following the maid to a courtyard that had been specially prepared for him in the mansion.

"Brother, perfect timing, I have something I need to discuss with you."

Seeing Hai Bodong leave, Xiao Yan's expression became more serious, and he said softly.

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan looked at Xiao Yan with some confusion.

"The prize for the champion of this Alchemist Convention is a recipe for a Sixth Grade Pill called the Spirit Fusion Spirit Fusion Pill. It is a pill that can fuse the soul and the body. Its effects are somewhat unorthodox, but it is an excellent medicine for the soul body because it can not only make the soul power recover quickly, but also completely repair the damage that the soul has suffered. Therefore, I plan to get it for my teacher."

Xiao Yan said in a serious tone.

"Oh? That's a good thing!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan smiled and said.

"Well, I'm confident I can win the championship, but when it comes to finding the Medicinal Herbs, I'll need you to talk to Sister Ya Fei. But I estimate that these Medicinal Herbs will be hard to find even in the Imperial Capital, since it's a pill to restore soul power, and the Medicinal Herbs are probably mostly related to soul power."

Xiao Yan said seriously.

"Hehe, I see. Don't worry about that. Even if we can't find it in the Imperial Capital, we can continue searching when we get to the academy. As long as we can find it and help our teacher completely heal the wounds in his soul and restore some of his soul power, we should be able to consider helping him revive!"

Xiao Yuan was also quite looking forward to it, and said with a smile.

A master at the Dou Zun level! If Yao Lao could advance another step, he might be able to roam freely throughout the Central State!
