Previously, some people had questioned:
"What use could a master who was merely a remnant soul possibly be?"
"At most, he could impart some knowledge. Could he really protect Xiao Yan?"
Now, they only wanted to say:
That protection... was absolutely perfect!!
We spoke too loudly just now. Sorry!
Douluo World—
Yu Xiaogang's face had already turned livid.
The stronger Xiao Yan became, and the more abilities Yao Lao displayed,
the more painfully Yu Xiaogang's face was slapped.
He had previously declared
that Yao Lao had merely benefited from Xiao Yan's talent.
Now, it seemed
that Yao Lao himself was an unfathomably powerful figure!
If he were in the Douluo World,
even a Limit Douluo could never retain Soul Emperor-level strength with only a soul remaining.
Even surviving as a remnant soul would have been a miracle.
This showed that the level of that world far surpassed Douluo World.
More importantly, Yao Lao was by no means a fraud living off an undeserved reputation.
He truly possessed real skill!
From Eight Extremities Collapse to Flame Splitting Wave-Devouring Ruler,
from alchemy to the Burning Mantra technique...
What Xiao Yan had gained in two years of apprenticeship
was hundreds, even thousands of times greater than what he had given.
Then there was his own teaching of Tang San...
He called himself a theory master, yet had never even noticed that Tang San's Blue Silver Grass could evolve.
He blindly believed that there were no useless martial souls, only useless Spirit Masters,
but had never considered this: if the Blue Silver Grass had not evolved, Tang San would have stopped at Soul Ancestor long ago.
Yet Yu Xiaogang would never admit it.
Matters of the past that should have faded with time
were now brought into contrast by the Teacher of Ten Thousand Worlds footage.
Yao Lao's wholehearted devotion to Xiao Yan
only made Yu Xiaogang's teaching of Tang San appear utterly pale.
It was no different from repeatedly whipping the corpse of his dignity as a teacher!
Tang San beside him felt it as well.
Though he had already become a god, a trace of imbalance still stirred in his heart:
If Yao Lao had been his teacher...
would his path to godhood have been smoother?
All the Heavens and Myriad Worlds envied Xiao Yan for obtaining such a teacher, one who gave everything he had.
Even with only a remnant soul remaining, he could still carve out a world for his disciple!
Such a teacher was rare even across the myriad worlds!
However, displaying Dou Emperor strength was far from Xiao Yan's current limit.
[Xiao Yan joined forces with Hai Bodong and turned the Mo Clan upside down with the might of Dou Emperors!]
[Though they successfully rescued Qing Lin, they were ambushed by two unexpected visitors—experts from the Heavenly Snake Mansion, a top force of the Northwest Continent!]
[They coveted Qing Lin's rare heterochromatic eyes, the "Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils," and two Dou Emperor-level experts arrived together.]
[The Eight-Winged Black Snake Emperor held Xiao Yan and Hai Bodong back while Lv Man seized the opportunity to abduct Qing Lin.]
[As a Six-Star Dou Emperor magical beast, the Eight-Winged Black Snake Emperor relied on his formidable body to withstand both of their attacks with ease.]
[At the critical moment, Xiao Yan decisively fused two Heavenly Flames and created his unique ultimate move—Buddha Fury Fire Lotus!]
[The instant the fire lotus appeared, even the surrounding space trembled!]
[When Xiao Yan hurled the fire lotus, even the mighty Six-Star Dou Emperor Eight-Winged Black Snake Emperor suddenly changed expression!]
[The earth-shaking explosion swept through the Mo Clan. The entire residence was razed to the ground, while the Eight-Winged Black Snake Emperor suffered severe injuries.]
[Though Xiao Yan suffered backlash from using Buddha Fury Fire Lotus for the first time, with Hai Bodong protecting him, the Eight-Winged Black Snake Emperor could only retreat in bitter resentment.]
[After this battle, Yao Lao exhausted his Soul Power protecting his disciple and fell into slumber. Xiao Yan prepared for the Alchemist Grand Meeting while searching for spiritual medicine that could nourish a soul body.]
This battle left the Heavens and Myriad Worlds speechless.
It was not because the spectacle had been particularly grand—far more magnificent scenes were not uncommon across the myriad worlds—
but because this kind of battle across such a vast gap in strength was simply beyond all reason.
A Dou Shi borrowing power to directly clash with a Dou Emperor was already a miracle,
yet he had actually fused Heavenly Flames and heavily injured a Six-Star Dou Emperor.
Moreover, his opponent had been a magical beast famed for its defenses!
What kind of absurd ability to fight above one's level was that?
Was this the privilege of a Child of Destiny?
Although the price had been Yao Lao falling asleep,
there was still a chance that he would awaken.
The scene of master and disciple parting moved the myriad worlds even more.
Though they had not spent much time together,
Yao Lao had imparted all the knowledge of his life without reserve.
He was truly worthy of the title of a famed teacher of the myriad worlds!
Douluo World, Heaven Dou City was silent.
Though Yu Xiaogang tried his best to remain calm, he could not conceal the gloom between his brows.
The more he compared himself, the more defeated he felt inside.
Seeing how another man's teacher gave so much,
then looking at what he himself had done?
Other than teaching theoretical knowledge, he had achieved almost nothing.
Training content? If running in circles counted as cultivation, it would truly be laughable.
Meanwhile, Yao Lao had prepared Foundation Building Spirit Liquid, body-tempering medicinal baths, high-level techniques, and more for Xiao Yan...
Protecting his disciple? During their first spirit beast hunt, they had nearly been wiped out.
A year later, he had completely failed to keep pace with his disciple's growth.
How could he speak of protection?
Compared to Yao Lao, what a derelict teacher he had been!
It felt as if his pride had been thrown to the ground and trampled over and over.
This Exposure System...
Could it have been created specifically to humiliate him?
Tang San was silent as well.
Xiao Yan's Buddha Fury Fire Lotus and his Buddha Fury Tang Lotus did not merely have similar names.
Even their forms were nearly identical.
Though the materials they were made from were worlds apart—
he relied on gunpowder, while Xiao Yan commanded Heavenly Flames born of heaven and earth.
But what truly suffocated him
was that Buddha Fury Fire Lotus was more than ten times as powerful as Buddha Fury Tang Lotus!
The Tang Sect's supreme hidden weapon had actually lost to an identically named technique from another world.
That was the most piercing blow of all.
[Even after losing Yao Lao's protection, Xiao Yan still carved out a place for himself through his own strength!]
[In the end, he stood on his own and claimed the championship of the Jia Ma Empire Alchemist Grand Meeting!]
[Afterward, he went to fulfill the Three Year Agreement as promised, using a resounding victory to honor his vow: "Do not look down on the poor young man!"]
[When Xiao Yan defeated Nalan Yanran, who had cultivated since childhood, Misty Cloud Sect elder Yun Leng suddenly made his move!]
[He accused Xiao Yan of being the culprit behind the destruction of the Mo Clan!]
[After Xiao Yan's identity as the alchemy champion was exposed, Misty Cloud Sect leader Yun Shan personally arrived, intending to capture him.]
[At the critical moment, Queen Medusa appeared gracefully and shielded Xiao Yan!]
[At the same time, the peak Dou Emperor guard Xun Er had placed beside Xiao Yan also struck without warning!]
[Faced with the deterrence of two experts approaching the Dou Zong level, Yun Shan could only allow Xiao Yan to leave in the end.]
[This agreement that had lasted three years came to a close with Xiao Yan's victory and carefree departure!]
Xiao Yan's actions once again left the Heavens and Myriad Worlds stunned.
Originally, everyone had believed
that after losing Yao Lao's protection, Xiao Yan would be unable to retreat unscathed even if he won after entering the Misty Cloud Sect alone.
Among the spectators were many who held power,
and they asked themselves: if their own sect encountered such a provocation,
would they truly let the intruder go so easily?
Though right and wrong had been on the side of Misty Cloud Sect,
this world often did not judge right from wrong, only strength!
Only those with comparable strength had the right to speak as equals.
Thus, regardless of whether Xiao Yan won or lost, this journey had been filled with extreme danger!
Sure enough, the Misty Cloud Sect eventually tore away all pretense.
But what no one had expected was that Xiao Yan still had hidden cards in hand.
Aside from Hai Bodong,
Xun Er's personal guard and Medusa had both come to his aid!
He truly had benefactors everywhere!
A crisis brimming with murderous intent thus vanished into nothing!
Shrouding Heavens World—
Watching this scene, Ye Fan could not help but think of his own experiences.
"So this is the treatment enjoyed by a Child of Destiny?"
"So long as one has not reached absolute desperation, one can always turn disaster into fortune at a critical moment."
"But in the end, such opportunities still require the person involved to have the ability to seize them."
"Not everyone can withstand such immense fortune."
