Double Rewards, Tier 6 Magical Beast Loyalty

Xiao Chen left the Xiao Clan's rear mountain and returned to his residence.

Just as he closed the door, the system's voice rang out in his mind.

"Ding, calculating rewards."

"Xiao Yan obtained a Tier 5 Magic Core and the flying Dou Technique Purple Cloud Wings."

"The host has received doubled rewards."

"Calculating feedback..."

"Congratulations, host. You have obtained: Tier 6 Magical Beast Amethyst Winged Lion King, 100% loyalty."

"Congratulations, host. You have obtained: Earth Tier high-grade Dou Technique, Three Thousand Lightning Movement."

Upon hearing those two rewards, Xiao Chen was completely stunned.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King?

A Tier 6 Magical Beast?

That was an existence comparable to a Dou Emperor.

Across the entire Jia Ma Empire, the number of experts capable of defeating the Amethyst Winged Lion King could be counted on one hand.

Yet now, the system had directly given him a Tier 6 Magical Beast, and one with 100% loyalty at that.

What did that mean?

It meant that Xiao Chen now had a Dou Emperor-level enforcer under his command.

Xiao Chen took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement in his heart.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King was deep within the Magical Beast Mountain Range. He had to make a trip there and bring that magical beast under his command.

And there was also Three Thousand Lightning Movement.

An Earth Tier high-grade movement Dou Technique, it was considered one of the finest movement techniques on the Dou Qi Continent.

Once mastered, it would grant terrifying speed, as swift and violent as lightning.

A movement Dou Technique of this level was something a sect like the Misty Cloud Sect was not even worthy of laying eyes on, much less possessing.

Xiao Chen sat on the edge of his bed and reviewed what he needed to do next.

First, head to the Magical Beast Mountain Range and subdue the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

Second, cultivate Three Thousand Lightning Movement.

Having made up his mind, Xiao Chen sat cross-legged on the bed and began cultivating Three Thousand Lightning Movement.

He closed his eyes, and the cultivation method of Three Thousand Lightning Movement surfaced in his mind.

"Three Thousand Lightning Movement, an Earth Tier high-grade movement Dou Technique."

"Once mastered, the body transforms into lightning and can travel a thousand miles in an instant."

Following the method, Xiao Chen activated the Dou Qi within his body and circulated it through his meridians.

The Dou Qi flowed along a specific route, continuously circulating through the meridians in his legs.

Once.

Twice.

Three times.

Xiao Chen could clearly feel the meridians in his legs being widened by the Dou Qi.

The sensation was somewhat painful, as though something were tearing at his meridians.

But Xiao Chen gritted his teeth and did not stop.

He knew this was a process that had to be endured when cultivating a movement Dou Technique.

Endure it, and he would succeed.

Fail to endure it, and he could forget about ever mastering it in this lifetime.

Xiao Chen took a deep breath and continued circulating his Dou Qi.

The Dou Qi kept cycling through the meridians in his legs, over and over again.

After an unknown amount of time, the pain gradually faded away.

In its place came a warm sensation.

It was as though something were nourishing his meridians, filling his legs with strength.

Xiao Chen did not stop and continued cultivating.

Time passed bit by bit.

The sky outside the window gradually darkened, then slowly brightened again.

Xiao Chen sat on the bed without moving.

Faint lightning flickered around his body.

The lightning was extremely dim. Without looking closely, it would be impossible to notice.

But if an expert had been present at that moment, they would surely have been too shocked to speak.

He had cultivated lightning in an Earth Tier high-grade Dou Technique in just one night.

Such talent was simply unheard of.

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Chen suddenly opened his eyes.

A sharp glint flashed through his eyes as he rose from the bed.

"Whoosh."

A piercing gust rang out.

Xiao Chen's figure vanished from the bedside and appeared outside the door.

He was incredibly fast, accomplishing it almost instantly.

There was at least five or six meters between the bedside and the doorway.

Yet Xiao Chen crossed it in a single step, so fast that it looked like teleportation.

A smile appeared on Xiao Chen's face.

Three Thousand Lightning Movement had reached the introductory stage.

Though he had only just begun, his speed had increased by an unknown number of times compared to before.

Previously, he had already been quite fast when using Dou Qi to propel himself.

But now that he had Three Thousand Lightning Movement, his speed had increased by at least several times.

Xiao Chen did not stop and continued cultivating.

Again and again, his figure flickered continuously throughout the room.

The sound of rushing wind rang out constantly as Xiao Chen's figure left behind streaks of afterimages in the room.

If someone had entered at that moment, they would not have been able to see him clearly. They would only have seen flashes of lightning flickering through the room.

Xiao Chen came to a stop and took a deep breath.

Three Thousand Lightning Movement had reached the minor success stage.

Just as he was about to leave, he saw a figure enter from outside the courtyard.

It was Xiao Xun'er.

She wore a pale green long dress that day, her jet-black hair draped over her shoulders. Her face was breathtakingly beautiful.

When she saw Xiao Chen in the courtyard, Xiao Xun'er quickened her pace and walked over.

"Xiao Chen, you're up so early?" Xiao Xun'er asked.

Xiao Chen nodded. "What is it?"

"I want you to accompany me to the Xiao Clan's market," Xiao Xun'er said. "I want to take a look tomorrow."

Xiao Chen looked at her and said calmly, "When?"

"Tomorrow morning," Xiao Xun'er said. "If you don't have time, I can go by myself."

"I have time," Xiao Chen said.

At his words, a smile appeared on Xiao Xun'er's face.

"Then I'll come find you tomorrow morning."

Xiao Chen gave a brief response.

Xiao Xun'er turned and left. After taking a few steps, she looked back once more.

She looked at Xiao Chen, and a trace of curiosity flashed through her eyes.

She was finding it increasingly difficult to see through Xiao Chen's strength.

He activated the Dou Qi within his body, and Dou Qi Wings spread from behind his back.

With a tap of his toes, he shot into the sky and flew toward the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

Deep within the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

Xiao Chen withdrew his Dou Qi Wings and landed atop a large tree.

He raised his head and looked into the distance.

In the sky, a figure was engaged in a fierce battle with a gigantic magical beast.

It was a woman dressed in a moon-white long gown. She was breathtakingly beautiful, with a cold and elegant temperament.

A pair of Dou Qi Wings spread behind her back. The long sword in her hand swung continuously, sending streams of sword qi slashing toward the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

Yun Yun.

The sect leader of the Misty Cloud Sect in the Jia Ma Empire, an expert at the Dou Emperor level.

Her opponent was a massive purple lion, four or five meters tall, radiating a terrifying aura from its entire body.

A Tier 6 Magical Beast, the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

Yun Yun's sword qi struck the Amethyst Winged Lion King, but it only left a shallow mark on its body.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King's defenses were far too powerful. Ordinary attacks could not break through them at all.

Yun Yun gritted her teeth and slashed out with her sword once more.

She put all her strength into this strike. The sword qi carried a fierce edge as it cleaved toward the Amethyst Winged Lion King's head.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King let out an angry roar and opened its maw, spewing a wave of purple flames that swept toward Yun Yun.

The sword qi collided with the purple flames and dissipated instantly.

The purple flames did not stop and continued surging toward Yun Yun.

Yun Yun's expression changed as she hurriedly dodged.

But the flames came too quickly. She could not evade them in time, and her left arm was grazed by the fire.

"Hiss."

Yun Yun sucked in a breath. Part of the clothing on her left arm was scorched away, and the exposed skin had turned bright red.

Her body swayed, and she nearly fell from the sky.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King did not give her a chance to catch her breath and pounced again.

Its enormous claw struck Yun Yun, sending her crashing down from the sky.

"Bang."

Yun Yun let out a muffled groan, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.

Her body plummeted rapidly, and she was about to hit the ground.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King roared angrily, opened its maw, and spewed another wave of purple flames toward Yun Yun.

Yun Yun wanted to dodge, but her injuries were too severe for her to exert any strength.

She gritted her teeth, a trace of despair flashing through her eyes.

At that moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her.

Xiao Chen raised his hand and struck out with his palm.
