Successive Breakthroughs

At this moment, the arena was packed to the brim. Many well-informed students had come, and even some elders were present.

All because this was a rare battle between two Dou Wang experts in the Inner Academy.

Moreover, these two had often fought before they broke through to the Dou Wang realm.

Back then, due to the restraint of their fighting styles, Lin Xiuya had always held Liu Qing firmly at a disadvantage.

Now that they had both broken through to Dou Wang, would that situation change?

The two flew down into the arena one after the other, spreading a pair of Dou Qi Wings behind them—one cyan, one yellow.

Their gazes met, and the next moment, they moved.

Boom!!!

The natural energy within the Inner Academy suddenly erupted into turmoil. In the sky, a powerful energy fluctuation spread from the Tianfen Qi Refining Tower throughout the entire Inner Academy.

The two men, who had been about to fight, acted at the same time, helping the students in the arena withstand the impact brought by that energy fluctuation.

"What was that?"

"Did that look like someone breaking through to Dou Emperor?"

"Are they still going to fight or not?"

All sorts of voices rose one after another from the arena below, filled with curiosity over the sudden energy fluctuation.

However, even more people remained focused on the battle before them. It was not easy to witness a fight between Dou Wang experts, and they did not want to miss it.

As though they had heard the cries of the spectators below, Lin Xiuya and Liu Qing quickly began their battle.

Elsewhere, a pale purple figure with an overwhelmingly powerful aura flew out of the Tianfen Qi Refining Tower and headed straight for a certain place within the Inner Academy.

Above the rooftop, a figure stood suspended in the air, slowly spreading his arms and opening his embrace.

The next moment, the beauty rushed into his arms, and the two returned to the room.

"So Little Fairy had been preparing to break through to Dou Emperor all this time." Wu Yong held Xiao Yi Xian tightly, closed his eyes, and gently inhaled the fragrance of her hair.

Once one reached the Dou Wang realm, one could survive without food or water, relying solely on natural energy. Even if she went more than half a month without bathing, she would still smell sweet.

Xiao Yi Xian lay in Wu Yong's embrace, sensing his unique scent and feeling an immense satisfaction fill both her body and heart.

Like a kitten that had inhaled catnip, she lazily clung to him.

Xiao Yi Xian said nothing, merely letting out a comfortable sound.

"Mmm~"

Only after the sun set and night fell did Xiao Yi Xian, having had her fill of Wu Yong's unique scent, slowly poke her head out from his embrace.

She slapped away the large hand pinching her nose and wrinkled it. "A Yong, stop fooling around..."

"Hehe, Little Fairy, do you want me to sleep with you tonight?"

"Sure. Then it's settled." Xiao Yi Xian raised her head and kissed that devastatingly handsome face, using it as payment for his company tonight.

Seeing Wu Yong's widened eyes, Xiao Yi Xian tilted her head with a smile.

Wu Yong lowered his head, intending to collect another payment from Xiao Yi Xian, when a burst of purple light suddenly filled both their vision.

It was not just this two-story building; the entire Inner Academy could see the dazzling purple light.

A curvaceous purple figure slowly emerged, then transformed into a naked little girl the next instant.

"Boss!"

Zi Yan passed straight through the spatial barrier and charged over. Wu Yong turned his head and rolled his eyes.

Xiao Yi Xian hurriedly condensed a set of clothes for Zi Yan. Seeing Wu Yong's expression, she covered her mouth and laughed.

Wu Yong turned back to look at Zi Yan, who had now advanced to Dou Emperor yet still looked exactly the same as before.

"How does it feel after advancing?"

"Wonderful! I feel like my whole body is overflowing with strength!" Zi Yan beamed as she excitedly swung her fists.

It seemed as if she could hammer a Fifth-Rank Magical Beast to death the very next moment.

"Thank you, Boss. If you hadn't replenished so much energy for me during this time, I might have needed another half a year to advance."

"It's nothing. Just help me find a few more treasures later, and we'll be even. Why don't you go see the Great Elder first and report this good news to him?"

Wu Yong blinked, feeling that Zi Yan had completed her breakthrough at a truly terrible time.

Zi Yan waved her hand and took out a Communication Crystal, giving it a shake. "Boss, did you forget this? Telling the old man directly through this is the same."

Wu Yong smacked his forehead, feeling that he had truly brought this upon himself.

Beside him, Xiao Yi Xian watched the scene with a bright smile.

"Exactly, A Yong. Did you forget about this?"

"..."

Wu Yong helplessly reached out a hand, put on a fierce expression, and pinched Xiao Yi Xian's cheek.

After reporting the situation to the Great Elder, Zi Yan looked at Wu Yong with a serious expression. "Boss, are we going somewhere farther away to rob people next?"

After advancing, she no longer had many medicinal ingredients left on her and urgently needed more.

Speaking of serious matters, Wu Yong gave it some thought. "No rush. Get used to your current strength first. I still have a Dou Technique on hand. Once I've mastered it, we'll set out."

The Dou Technique Wu Yong meant was that low-level Earth Tier movement technique, Three Thousand Lightning Movement.

Previously, because he had needed to guard Zi Yan during her breakthrough, Wu Yong had set this Earth Tier Dou Technique aside.

Now that Zi Yan had completed her breakthrough and Little Fairy had also reached the Dou Emperor realm, he could finally relax and begin cultivating this Dou Technique.

Naturally, Zi Yan had no objections to Wu Yong's arrangements. If anything, she felt a little embarrassed.

She was the one advancing, yet her boss was the one spending generously. So many medicinal ingredients had turned into energy and "soaked" her in it until she was nearly dizzy from all that energy.

And to look after her, he had remained by her side without leaving even a single step, not even going to cultivate his Dou Technique.

Under such circumstances, how could Zi Yan possibly be embarrassed enough to raise a different opinion?

Besides, Wu Yong happened to have sunflower seeds here. She and Xiao Yi Xian ate sunflower seeds and drank tea together, living a very leisurely life.

While the two beauties, one grown and one small, ate sunflower seeds and drank tea, Wu Yong used the wind to sense the weather conditions within a thousand li.

He searched for a region of surging winds and clouds, flashing lightning, and roaring thunder that would be suitable for cultivating Three Thousand Lightning Movement.

A few minutes later, Wu Yong opened his eyes with a toothache.

Perhaps his luck was bad. There was no area within a thousand li that met his requirements.

But that did not stump Wu Yong. Since there was nothing ready-made, he would create it himself!

"Come with me."

Leaving behind those words, Wu Yong spread his Dou Qi Wings and flew toward the Magic Beast Forest outside the academy.

After briefly packing their things, Xiao Yi Xian and Zi Yan followed him.

High above the academy, the aged figure who had just received the report watched the three young people fly out of the academy. He revealed a gratified smile, not worrying in the slightest about their safety.

"Youth truly is wonderful!"

Su Qian's gaze seemed to pass through the Tianfen Qi Refining Tower, seeing the students inside diligently cultivating.

Especially when he thought of those older students on the Strong Ranking, his expression became somewhat complicated.

Was such a huge gap perhaps a little too much...
