Nine Flame Fist

Looking at the scraps and leather on the ground, Xiao Yang nodded in satisfaction.

The power of combining all eight layers of Eight Extremes Collapse's Eightfold Hidden Force was indeed formidable now, completely no weaker than some Earth Tier Low-level Dou Techniques.

Just then, Xiao Yang suddenly remembered that he still had an unclaimed reward.

After all, reaching Perfection in Eight Extremes Collapse could earn him a genuine Earth Tier Dou Technique!

At that thought, excitement flashed through Xiao Yang's eyes as he silently spoke in his mind.

"System, claim the reward!"

The next moment, an additional scroll appeared in the System Space.

With a thought, he took it out directly.

It was a dark crimson scroll.

Xiao Yang eagerly opened it.

Three large words came into view—Nine Flame Fist!

Below them was another line.

Earth Tier Mid-grade Dou Technique!

Looking at those words, Xiao Yang's face was full of excitement.

Aside from a few outsiders, no one in the Jia Ma Empire possessed an Earth Tier Mid-grade Dou Technique!

Even in Middle Continent, an Earth Tier Mid-grade Dou Technique was an extremely precious treasure!

It was something that could serve as the Family Treasure of a major clan!

Xiao Yang impatiently continued reading.

Nine Flame Fist could condense flames onto the hand and strike them into an opponent's body.

From that first line of description alone, Xiao Yang understood the terror of this Dou Skill.

Strike flames into an enemy's body?

The Dark Force of Eight Extremes Collapse could already potentially kill an enemy instantly once it entered the body.

If it were flames instead, wouldn't it directly burn someone into nothingness?

Just thinking about that power sent chills down Xiao Yang's spine.

He continued reading.

As its name suggested, Nine Flame Fist could condense nine layers of flames and strike them into an enemy's body!

Xiao Yang realized that perhaps because this Nine Flame Fist had been obtained through the Eight Extremes Collapse Proficiency mission—

some parts of it were actually somewhat similar to Eight Extremes Collapse.

When cultivated to the extreme, Nine Flame Fist could merge all nine layers of flames into one, giving it power comparable to an Earth Tier High-level Dou Technique!

Moreover, the flames condensed by Nine Flame Fist did not necessarily have to come from Dou Qi; they could also be Heavenly Flames!

As long as Heavenly Flames were incorporated, it could directly rival an Earth Tier High-level Dou Technique.

If more than three Heavenly Flames were incorporated, it could even rival a Heaven Tier Dou Technique!

If nine Heavenly Flames were incorporated, it could even rival a Heaven Tier High-level Dou Technique!

Even Xiao Yang felt a little speechless as he read the description.

Nonsense. Did he not know how powerful the fusion of nine Heavenly Flames would be?

As long as nine Heavenly Flames could be fused, wouldn't their power be terrifying even without using a Dou Skill?

One only needed to look at a certain Flame Emperor's fire lotus to know.

Nine Heavenly Flames—who could possibly gather that many?

Even with the help of others and Tou She Ancient God's inheritance later on, Xiao Yan had not obtained nine Heavenly Flames!

Even as the protagonist of the Dou Qi Continent, Xiao Yan only had six Heavenly Flames.

Although Xiao Yang had transmigrated here, he only knew the whereabouts of the six Heavenly Flames Xiao Yan obtained.

As for the rest, although he knew where they were, they all had owners!

He could not exactly go to their doors and kill them to seize their flames, could he?

Still, even without Heavenly Flames, Xiao Yang could try fusing nine high-grade Beast Fires.

That would be much easier.

Perhaps that could also rival a Heaven Tier Dou Technique.

But that was all for the future.

For now, he should just cultivate properly.

Looking at the contents of the scroll, he began trying it carefully.

He transformed the Dou Qi in his body into the Fire Attribute and circulated it throughout his body.

Although this Dou Skill was called Nine Flame Fist, it required the involvement of Meridians throughout many parts of the body and was extremely complicated.

Moreover, it also required some tiny Meridians.

Dou Qi did not normally flow through these tiny Meridians.

Yet many high-tier Dou Skills made use of them.

For ordinary people, learning Nine Flame Fist would require them to slowly open up these Meridians.

But Xiao Yang did not need to.

Because of the Myriad Laws Incantation, most of the Meridians in Xiao Yang's body had already been opened.

That included those rarely used tiny Meridians.

After all, to fuse cultivation methods, one had to first open up a large number of Meridians.

Many cultivation methods also had their own unique tiny Meridians that needed to be opened.

The higher the tier of the cultivation method, the more so this was the case.

Before long, Xiao Yang had memorized all the Meridians required for Nine Flame Fist.

He discovered that at some unknown point, the Proficiency of Nine Flame Fist on the System Panel had actually increased by one on its own.

Without hesitation, he immediately created a mission.

[Mission: Practice Nine Flame Fist ninety times. Reward: Nine Flame Fist Proficiency +1]

Looking at the difficulty of this mission, Xiao Yang could not help drawing in a sharp breath.

As expected of an Earth Tier Mid-grade Dou Technique. The difficulty of its Proficiency mission was about the same as Eight Extremes Collapse's Minor Accomplishment Proficiency mission.

One had to know that this was merely Beginner Proficiency.

There was no helping it. He could only practice.

Just as Xiao Yang was preparing to begin cultivating Nine Flame Fist, a slip of paper was pushed through the crack in the door.

He picked it up and saw that someone from the Miter Auction House had come to notify him that his Medicinal Materials had arrived.

Because he often refined medicine and could not be disturbed during such times—

whenever someone wanted to see him, they would generally have a servant slip a note inside. Once he saw it, he would take the initiative to have a servant call them in.

Given Xiao Yang's current status in the Xiao Clan, no one dared disturb him.

Although those juniors did not know the reason—

several Dou Zhe guards were stationed around Xiao Yang's courtyard.

Thus, they also did not dare make noise nearby.

Xiao Yang directly instructed a servant to have the Miter Auction House's people deliver the Medicinal Materials to the Xiao Clan.

As for the payment, he would pay for everything once the Medicinal Materials arrived.

After all, he only needed to swipe the Gold Coin Card.

Then he had a servant come over to clean up the broken sandbag.

Looking at the leather and scraps all over the ground, Xiao Yang felt somewhat troubled.

There would be no more sandbags for him to punch in the future.

After all, sandbags capable of withstanding a Dou Master's attacks were still rare in Wutan City.

Mainly because hardly anyone bought them.

In small places, a Dou Master was already considered an expert.

For example, in Qingshan Town, a Dou Master could be considered the local overlord.

For a Dou Master, rather than spend a large sum on a sandbag, it was better to buy some pills.

In any case, if they wanted a sandbag, they could simply find rocks or ancient trees out in the wilderness.

The Dou Qi Continent had no environmental protection laws.

Fortunately, Xiao Yang would find it difficult to use Nine Flame Fist for a Short Time.

Even Eight Extremes Collapse was difficult to use before reaching Minor Accomplishment.

Much less Nine Flame Fist, which was even harder.

By the time he could use it, he might already be in the Monster Beast Mountain Range.

Before long, several people from the Miter Auction House delivered the Medicinal Materials to the Xiao Clan.

Xiao Yang simply took out his Gold Coin Card and had them swipe it.

After collecting the payment, the men respectfully departed.

After putting away the Medicinal Materials and returning to the Small Courtyard, Xiao Yang looked at the several Proficiency entries on the System Panel.

Fire Control (Minor Accomplishment 9/10)

First-grade Pill (Major Accomplishment 9/10)

During this period, the Proficiency of Fire Control and First-grade Pills had nearly reached the point of advancement.

Xiao Yang planned to raise them both today!
