Xiao Yan Obtains a Dou Technique, Double Reward Feedback!

A mouthful of blood sprayed out as the captain of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group was sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground.

He struggled to get up, but every bone in his body felt as though it had fallen apart, leaving him unable to muster any strength.

"Captain!"

"Captain!"

The remaining mercenaries saw this and were so frightened that their legs went weak.

Their captain was a Dou Shi-level expert, considered one of the strongest fighters around Qingshan Town.

Yet before this young man, he had not even lasted a single move.

Xiao Chen slowly walked over and stepped on his arm.

"Y-you... what are you trying to do?" The captain of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group turned deathly pale as searing pain shot through his arm.

"Sir... Sir, spare my life... Please, spare me..."

Gritting his teeth, he began to beg for mercy.

Though he hated Xiao Chen for killing his son, his own life was now at stake. How could he still care about revenge?

"I... I have Dou Techniques, gold coins, cultivation methods. Whatever you want, I'll give it to you..."

"Just please spare my life..."

Xiao Chen looked down at him, his eyes utterly calm.

"Spare you?"

"I killed your son. If you were strong enough, would you have spared me?"

"N-no, I wouldn't... I swear, as long as you let me go, I'll never seek revenge against you..."

"I... I can leave Qingshan Town and never appear here again..."

His voice trembled as he desperately pleaded for mercy.

"My son... he brought this upon himself. He deserved to die; it wasn't your fault, sir..."

"Please, sir, be merciful and spare my worthless life..."

Xiao Chen ignored his pleas and pressed down with his foot.

Crack.

His arm snapped at once.

"Ahhh!!!"

He let out a miserable scream, cold sweat streaming down his forehead.

After saying that, Xiao Chen raised his hand and struck the captain of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group in the dantian with his palm.

Surging Dou Qi poured into his body and shattered his dantian outright.

"No, I'm begging you, please, I beg you."

Feeling the Dou Qi within his body drain away wildly, he let out a despairing howl.

"My Dou Qi... my strength..."

"Y-you destroyed my Dou Qi?!"

His eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

He had cultivated for decades before finally managing to break through to Dou Shi.

Now it was all gone.

All of it had been destroyed.

"Sir... you... you've crippled my strength. I'm already useless..."

"Please... spare my life..."

"I guarantee I'll never cause you trouble again..."

He knelt on the ground and desperately kowtowed.

His forehead was bleeding from the blows, yet he did not dare stop.

"I'm already useless. I pose no threat to you whatsoever..."

"Please... spare my life..."

Xiao Chen looked at him and said flatly, "I do not take back what I have said."

"I said I would kill you, so I will not let you leave alive."

At those words, his eyes filled with despair.

He knew that he was doomed to die today.

"You..."

Before he could say anything else, Xiao Chen struck his head with a palm.

His voice abruptly stopped, and his entire body collapsed to the ground.

His breath was gone for good.

When the remaining mercenaries saw that their captain was dead, they were terrified out of their wits.

Thud. The mercenaries dropped to their knees in unison and desperately kowtowed.

"Spare us, sir!"

"We were only following orders. We never wanted to cause trouble for you!"

"It was the captain... the captain forced us to come!"

"Please spare our lives, sir!"

"We're willing to serve you like oxen and horses!"

Xiao Chen said nothing more and waved his hand.

Several streams of Dou Qi shot out, piercing straight through the mercenaries' bodies.

Before they could even scream, the mercenaries fell to the ground.

Xiao Chen withdrew his hand.

From beginning to end, there was not the slightest expression on his face.

The Wolf Head Mercenary Group had run rampant through Qingshan Town for so many years that no one had dared provoke them.

Yet in Xiao Chen's hands, they had not even lasted a few minutes.

Xiao Chen prepared to leave Qingshan Town in the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

Now that he had obtained the treasure, he was eager to return to the Xiao Clan and give the cultivation method to Xiao Yan.

Then he could receive the system's feedback reward and improve his own strength.

"Until we meet again."

Xiao Chen turned back to glance at Xiao Yi Xian and spoke indifferently.

After saying that, Dou Qi surged within him, and a pair of wings formed from condensed Dou Qi spread from his back.

"Dou Qi Transformation Wings?!"

Xiao Yi Xian's pupils contracted at the sight.

She had known Xiao Chen was strong, but she had never expected him to be this strong.

Dou Qi Transformation Wings were something only Dou Wang experts could achieve.

"H-he really is a Dou Wang expert..."

Xiao Yi Xian watched Xiao Chen rise into the air and fly into the distance, her heart filled with amazement.

She had suspected it before, but witnessing it with her own eyes was still deeply shocking.

A Dou Wang expert was considered a top-tier existence throughout the Jia Ma Empire.

Ordinarily, she would have struggled even to meet an expert of that level.

Yet today, she had not only met one, but had also spent so long with him.

What was more, he was still so young.

A Dou Wang expert in his teens—truly terrifying.

"The direction he's heading... seems to be Wutan City?"

Xiao Yi Xian murmured as she watched the direction in which Xiao Chen had vanished.

"I wonder whether I'll ever see him again..."

She stood where she was, gazing in the direction Xiao Chen had left for a long time without moving.

Wutan City, the Xiao Clan's rear courtyard.

Xiao Yan sat cross-legged on the ground as the Dou Qi within his body circulated slowly.

He had just consumed the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid and was making the most of his time to cultivate.

Yao Lao floated beside him, offering a few pointers from time to time.

"Not bad. Your cultivation progress this time has been faster than I expected."

Yao Lao looked at Xiao Yan and nodded in satisfaction.

"At this rate, it won't be long before you break through to Dou Zhe."

A trace of delight flashed through Xiao Yan's eyes at his words.

"It is all thanks to Teacher's excellent guidance."

Yao Lao waved his hand. "Stop flattering me and cultivate properly."

Xiao Yan smiled and continued cultivating.

Just then, a series of footsteps sounded outside.

Yao Lao's expression changed, and he slipped into the ring on Xiao Yan's finger.

"Someone's coming. I'll hide first."

Xiao Yan heard the footsteps as well and hurriedly restrained his aura, pretending to be cultivating.

The footsteps drew closer and closer, and a figure appeared at the entrance to the rear courtyard.

"Third Brother?"

Xiao Yan froze when he saw who had come.

Xiao Chen entered the rear courtyard, looked at Xiao Yan, and asked, "How has your cultivation been going?"

He took two items from his robes and handed them to Xiao Yan.

"This is..."

Xiao Yan accepted them and was immediately stunned.

One was a pair of purple wings, violet light flowing across their surface. At a glance, they were clearly no ordinary item.

There was also a Magic Core whose aura made even Xiao Yan's heart tremble.

"This is the Purple Cloud Wings, a flying Dou Technique."

"And a fifth-tier Magic Core."

Xiao Chen spoke flatly.

"A f-fifth-tier Magic Core?!"

Xiao Yan's eyes widened in disbelief.

A fifth-tier Magic Core came from a magical beast equivalent to a Dou Wang expert...

Such an item was considered a rare treasure throughout the Jia Ma Empire.

"Third Brother, where... where did you get such things?"

Even Xiao Yan's voice trembled.

"Third Brother, this... this is far too precious..."

Xiao Yan looked at the Purple Cloud Wings and fifth-tier Magic Core in his hands, not daring to accept them.

"If I'm giving them to you, take them." Xiao Chen said.

"Your strength is still too weak. With these things, your ability to protect yourself will improve considerably."

Xiao Yan's nose stung at his words.

"Alright, cultivate well."

Xiao Chen patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder, then turned and left.

Xiao Yan watched Xiao Chen's departing back and clenched the Purple Cloud Wings and Magic Core in his hands.

"Third Brother, don't worry."

"I definitely won't let you down."

After leaving the clan's back mountain, Xiao Chen returned directly to a Side Courtyard.

He saw the system panel.

"Xiao Yan has obtained a fifth-tier Magic Core and the flying Dou Technique Purple Cloud Wings."

"The host has received double feedback."

"Calculating rewards..."
