Battle Through the Heavens: Reborn into the Xiao Clan, Starting with Xiao Xuan's Inheritance — Chapter 11

[Third Art: Deep Abyss Assault Art. Infuse one's Dou Qi into the earth, causing both wielder and spear to vanish instantly. In the next moment, they can burst forth from beneath the opponent's feet, the spear tip carrying endless Dou Qi, like a dragon launching a surprise attack from the depths of an abyss. Its killing power is extremely formidable and can be used to slay an enemy in a single strike!]

[Fourth Art: Dragon-Breath Mountain-Shaking Art. Raise the spear tip upward, transforming the Dou Qi within the body into endless dragon breath that erupts from the spear tip. The dragon breath takes the form of a pillar and possesses immense impact force and corrosive power, capable of instantly flattening the mountains ahead. Should an opponent be struck, even their Dou Qi meridians will be corroded by the dragon breath.]

[Fifth Art: Ten Thousand Dragons Returning as One Art. Mobilize all the Dou Qi throughout the body, using the Dragon Abyss Formation-Breaking Spear as a catalyst to summon countless illusory little dragons. They circle and spiral around the opponent before finally merging into a gigantic golden dragon. Carrying a heaven-destroying, earth-shattering momentum, it sweeps the opponent into the sky before smashing them viciously into the ground, triggering a massive explosion. It could be considered a large-scale ultimate move!]

Only after the introduction to all five arts of the Dragon Abyss Sky-Breaking Art had ended did Xiao Yi's consciousness return to reality.

"As expected of a mid-tier Earth-rank Dou Technique. From the looks of it, its power is terrifying..."

Recalling the demonstrations and descriptions of the Dragon Abyss Five Arts, Xiao Yi could not help praising them repeatedly.

Yet when Xiao Xuan saw Xiao Yi's expression, he merely smiled helplessly.

This brat really had never seen anything good.

"Little fellow, although this Dou Technique is merely mid-tier Earth-rank, it still has requirements for its practitioner..."

"First, you must use the Dragon Abyss Formation-Breaking Spear that I forged in order to cultivate it!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi nodded.

He met that requirement now, since Xiao Xuan had just gifted the Dragon Abyss Formation-Breaking Spear to him.

"Second, the practitioner must reach the Dou King level before they can cultivate it... and even then, a Dou King can only cultivate the first art..."

"As for the second art, it requires a Dou Emperor. The third requires a Dou Zong, the fourth requires a Dou Zun, and the fifth requires at least the Half-Saint level..."

Hearing Xiao Xuan's words, Xiao Yi froze on the spot.

"Ancestor, have you forgotten that I'm only a two-star Dou Practitioner right now? How am I supposed to cultivate it? Even if you give it to me, I can't practice it..."

"You got me excited for nothing..."

Hearing Xiao Yi's complaint, Xiao Xuan merely glanced at him.

"Brat, steady your heart!"

"You're so impatient whenever something happens. How will you accomplish great things in the future!"

"Let me ask you, who created this Dou Technique?"

Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Xuan and said softly, "Naturally, it was you, Ancestor. I doubt anyone else had that kind of ability..."

Xiao Xuan immediately continued, "Since I created this Dou Technique, there must be a reason why I'm giving it to you now..."

"As long as I wish to change the various restrictions within this Dou Technique, I can alter them at any time!"

"I can remove all restrictions and let you immediately cultivate all five Dragon Abyss Arts, but does the Dou Qi in your body support that?"

"This Dou Technique is powerful, but it requires an enormous amount of Dou Qi to activate..."

"Your Dou Qi is far too weak right now, though you can still barely cultivate the first art. You may not be able to unleash its full power, but it will be more than enough for you at present..."

"As for the other four arts, we can talk about them once you reach the Dou Emperor realm..."

Xiao Xuan spoke solemnly. Then, with a slight raise of his hand, he casually altered the restrictions of the first art, the Dragon Abyss First Awakening Art.

"Practice according to the scroll. The Dragon Abyss First Awakening Art alone is comparable to a high-tier Profound-rank Dou Technique..."

"Once you reach the Dou Saint realm and master all five arts, you will be able to comprehend this Dou Technique's ultimate profundity—Dragon Abyss Sky-Breaking!"

"At that point, calling it a low-tier Heaven-rank Dou Technique would not be an exaggeration..."

Xiao Xuan spoke solemnly, his face full of pride. Clearly, he was extremely satisfied with the Dou Technique he had created.

A glimmer of light flashed from Xiao Yi's storage ring, and the Dragon Abyss Formation-Breaking Spear appeared in his hand.

Gripping the Dragon Abyss Formation-Breaking Spear tightly, Xiao Yi took a deep breath.

"Then let's start training!"

As Xiao Yi circulated the Dou Qi within his body, the Dragon Abyss Formation-Breaking Spear in his hand seemed to resonate with him and began trembling faintly.

"Ancestor, this spear seems to be resonating with me?"

A trace of delight flickered through Xiao Yi's eyes. It was clear that he was extremely satisfied with the Dragon Abyss Formation-Breaking Spear in his hand.

Xiao Xuan merely glanced at him. "Of course. Your Dou Qi attribute is very similar to mine, and I forged the Dragon Abyss Formation-Breaking Spear with my own hands. A little resonance is perfectly normal..."

"The Dragon Abyss Sky-Breaking Art is the exclusive Dou Technique of the Dragon Abyss Formation-Breaking Spear..."

"If you want to learn this Dou Technique, the first thing you need to do is practice your spear techniques properly!"

"Judging by how clumsy you are, I assume you've never touched this weapon before..."

Xiao Xuan said solemnly.

At his words, Xiao Yi revealed a somewhat embarrassed expression.

Indeed, he had never practiced or studied the spear before.

Ever since transmigrating, Xiao Yi had spent all these years tempering his Dou Qi, as well as being a good-for-nothing for several years.

Today was truly his first time learning spear techniques.

Seeing Xiao Yi's expression, Xiao Xuan more or less understood.

To be honest, Xiao Xuan had never seen such a "clumsy" member of the Xiao Clan.

But there was nothing he could do about it. Xiao Yi was his descendant, after all. What else could he do but indulge him...

Under the moonlight, Xiao Yi held the Dragon Abyss Formation-Breaking Spear and began laboriously learning spear techniques from scratch.

"The spear is the king of all weapons!"

"Power rises from the ground, vigor pierces the rainbow!"

"With such a flimsy stance, how are you supposed to face an enemy?"

Xiao Xuan continued floating in midair, tirelessly instructing the still-unfamiliar Xiao Yi.

"Remember, a spear moves in straight lines; only then can it smash through all obstacles!"

"Thrust, lift, stab, sweep! Every strike of the spear must carry an indomitable ferocity!"

As Xiao Xuan spoke, whenever he saw even the slightest flaw in Xiao Yi's movements, he would personally help adjust them.

And so, under Xiao Xuan's one-on-one guidance, Xiao Yi's handling of the Dragon Abyss Formation-Breaking Spear gradually improved.

Beneath the moonlight, he even looked rather dashing.

Seeing this, Xiao Xuan could not help nodding.

"This brat may be somewhat lacking in cultivation talent, but his ability to learn isn't bad..."

"He's becoming more and more like me in my younger days..."

After an unknown amount of time had passed, Xiao Yi's black training clothes were already soaked through with sweat.

"Ancestor, with spear techniques like mine, I can learn the Sky-Breaking Art now, right?"

Xiao Yi asked between heavy breaths.

Seeing the sweat covering Xiao Yi's head, Xiao Xuan could not help teasing him.

"You're so young, yet you're already this weak?"

"When you have nothing to do, think more about cultivation. Stop doing things that harm your body all the time..."

Xiao Yi rolled his eyes slightly.

"Ancestor, you make it sound easy..."

"Do you even know how heavy the Dragon Abyss Formation-Breaking Spear you made is?"

"The fact that I can wield it like this is already pretty impressive..."

Xiao Xuan said solemnly, "In the end, you're still too weak. When I was your age, I could wield countless spears like this one..."

Xiao Yi sighed. "Ancestor, I'm only barely a two-star Dou Practitioner right now. How can I compare to you?"

Xiao Xuan did not refute him and merely smiled faintly.

"Alright, alright. You look tired tonight, so we'll stop here..."

After saying that, Xiao Xuan waved his hand and prepared to return to the storage ring.

However, Xiao Yi suddenly stopped him.

"Ancestor, wait!"

"It's still early. Why not strike while the iron is hot and learn the first art of the Sky-Breaking Art tonight? It'll count as another way to protect myself..."

Xiao Xuan smiled kindly. "Brat, you're dreaming big. Do you think a mid-tier Earth-rank Dou Technique is something you can learn in a single night?"

The corners of Xiao Yi's lips curled slightly upward. "Still, getting familiar with it beforehand can only be a good thing..."

Xiao Xuan nodded upon hearing this. After all, Xiao Yi's words did make some sense.
