Walking Out of Wutan

[However, the alchemist Liu Xi took the chance to slip away and was taken by members of the Oba Clan, who had been drawn over by the melee.]

[Dealing with the Jia Lie Clan took priority, so you quietly kept this matter in mind. Once everything had settled, you infiltrated the Oba Clan that very night.]

After searching for a while, Xiao Yan looked helplessly at the pretty woman lying unconscious on the bed. She wore only a thin bathing veil, exposing large swathes of tempting, snowy-white skin.

That Liu Xi really had a taste for pleasure. He had barely escaped death before preparing to enjoy himself.

With no time to deal with the woman, Xiao Yan sensed Liu Xi's imminent arrival and swiftly tucked himself into a concealed corner.

The moment Liu Xi entered the room, another change occurred. The tightly shut window suddenly flew open.

Pale moonlight spilled inside. A girl in a golden dress sat eerily on the windowsill, her pair of jade-like, round, snow-white calves drawing alluring arcs through the air beneath her golden robes.

Moonlight fell upon the girl's exquisite little face, making her seem like a goddess under the moon—dazzling and mysterious.

[At the sight of the girl, a name surfaced in your mind in great surprise: Xiao Xun'er!]

[Xiao Xun'er, who had revealed herself, possessed astonishing strength and was already very close to the level of the Great Dou Master elders in the clan.]

[Xiao Xun'er effortlessly killed Liu Xi, a Dou Zhe, before fluttering away.]

[However, Xiao Xun'er was still somewhat young and inexperienced. Liu Xi strangely crawled back to his feet through the Tortoise Breath Pill.]

[You immediately finished him off. As you were leaving, you encountered Xiao Xun'er. After muddling through an explanation, you gave her a bottle of medicinal liquid as a parting gift, allowing her to recover from the weakness caused by forcefully raising her strength with a secret technique.]

[Liu Xi's unexpected death left the Oba Clan swallowing their losses in silence. Having lost their support, they could only watch helplessly as the Xiao Clan grew stronger.]

[With fewer mundane matters to distract you, you devoted yourself to cultivation and learned the three Dou Techniques Medicine Elder had mentioned.]

[With your experience studying the Lava Heaven-Burning Art, the three Dou Techniques—Absorbing Palm, Flame-Blowing Palm, and Eight Extremities Collapse—came almost effortlessly to you. You mastered them as soon as you learned them, greatly shocking Medicine Elder.]

[Before you knew it, it was time for Canaan Academy's recruitment.]

[Through Xiao Yu's connections, you didn't need to queue. After undergoing tests from several officers, you entered the center of the plaza, where you met Xiao Yu's classmate, Xue Ni.]

She was a woman in red. A bright smile graced her fairly pretty face, while her long brown hair was casually tied into a ponytail. Her full breasts were nothing short of magnificent, paired with a slender waist and a plump, perky backside.

Although her looks were slightly inferior to Xiao Yu's, her scorching, devilish figure was enough to make any man drool.

[You passed the test without issue. Senior Luo Bu, jealous of your close relationship with Xiao Yu, intended to use Canaan Academy's rules to put you newcomers through a beating. Naturally, you refused.]

[After a heated exchange, it was decided that the outcome of a spar would determine whether you needed to be beaten.]

[You fiercely wrapped an arm around Xiao Yu's soft waist, pulling her tightly into your embrace and groping her waist twice as interest for being used, before facing the senior.]

[Your opponent, Ge Ci, was a one-star Dou Zhe who had cultivated a high-level Yellow Tier Dou Technique. He was no weakling, and the girls beside Xiao Yu did not think highly of you.]

[After more than a month of cultivation, your strength had soared. A single punch sent Ge Ci flying.]

[Everyone was utterly shocked, staring at you in disbelief!]

[Once the spar ended, Xiao Yu's instructor emerged from the tent.]

She wore a green dress, and a gentle smile rested on her beautiful face. Her eyes drifted across the crowd, her soft gaze like a clear stream silently flowing through one's heart, making people unable to resist becoming intoxicated by her unique grace and liveliness.

The woman appeared only a little older than Xiao Yu and the others. Her full, delicate figure exuded the mature charm tempered by time, a natural allure far beyond what inexperienced girls like Xiao Yu could compare to.

[Using her water-attributed Dou Qi, which possessed healing effects, Instructor Ruo Lin woke the unconscious Ge Ci.]

[During the potential assessment, Xiao Xun'er, who had reached the ninth star of the Dou Zhe level, surpassed the highest S-grade rating. You, having reached the eighth star of the Dou Zhe level, also exceeded S-grade.]

[Instructor Ruo Lin's beautiful eyes shone repeatedly. From Xiao Xun'er's account, she learned that you had restarted cultivation from the third stage of Dou Qi and that this was the result of less than two years of training.]

[Under everyone's gaze, you pretended to glare fiercely at Xun'er, who covered her mouth and giggled after exposing your past. Your ability to progress so quickly owed enormous credit to the effects of the eighth-grade medicinal pill, the Primordial Origin Pill.]

[Amid everyone's incredulous stares, you asked Instructor Ruo Lin for more than a year of leave because of the Three-Year Pact.]

[Though Instructor Ruo Lin was gentle and alluring, you had long since made up your mind. In the end, Ruo Lin demanded that you endure twenty exchanges under her; otherwise, there would be no leave.]

[Facing Instructor Ruo Lin, a Great Dou Master, you pushed every Dou Technique you knew to its limit.]

[Infinite Void-Sinking Force could greatly dissipate the power behind Instructor Ruo Lin's attacks. Void Vortex Force could deflect her attacks and disrupt Ruo Lin's footing. Star-Surging Heaven Qi occasionally combined with Infinite Void-Sinking Force to launch counterattacks.]

[Heaven-Earth Yin-Yang Flow greatly redirected force into heaven and earth, while Cosmic Life-and-Death Way continuously dissolved the power of Ruo Lin's attacks.]

[Most of these techniques focused on guiding and neutralizing attacks, placing little burden on your body.]

[Unable to defeat you for a long time, Instructor Ruo Lin finally used a mid-level Profound Tier Dou Technique, Water Mandala.]

[Seeing this, everyone thought you were about to suffer terribly and cast sympathetic looks your way.]

[You finally used Lava Heaven-Breaking Force, bending your fingers into a bow and using Dou Qi as the string. A droplet of fire-attributed Dou Qi condensed, then shot toward Ruo Lin with the force of an armor-piercing round.]

[Sensing danger, Ruo Lin hurriedly withdrew her Dou Technique, swung her whip back to defend herself, and summoned Dou Qi armor over her body.]

[Even so, a thin crack appeared on the startlingly prominent area of Instructor Ruo Lin's water-blue Dou Qi armor.]

[If Instructor Ruo Lin had only been a Dou Shi, then even with the soft cushioning, she would have been seriously injured if not dead.]

[Instructor Ruo Lin stared at you in disbelief. Medicine Elder, who had been preparing to intervene, was also greatly shocked by your use of Dou Qi. Perhaps in the future, like the blacksmith who created Flame-Blowing Palm, you might create Dou Techniques of your own.]

[Your Dou Qi was completely exhausted. You remained silent. This was not a method of using Dou Qi that you had comprehended.]

[After this real battle, you gained a deeper understanding of the six techniques.]

[The outcome had been decided, and Instructor Ruo Lin reluctantly agreed to your leave.]

[Xiao Yu invited Instructor Ruo Lin and the others to the Xiao Clan, while you silently began preparing to leave home.]

[You bought supplies at the Mittel Auction House and hoped that, after you left, the Mittel Auction House would take good care of the Xiao Clan. Ya Fei agreed with a light laugh.]

[You held Ya Fei's alluring, water-snake waist in your arms for a long while before parting from her.]

[Once your preparations were complete, you bade farewell to your father and left Wutan City.]

[Xiao Zhan told you that, if you had the chance, you could visit Stone Desert City. Your two older brothers were developing there and had established the Desert Iron Mercenary Corps.]
