Ability Enhancement

Above the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, Su Qian stood in mid-air, feeling the energy fluctuations emanating from the barrier below. His withered, aged face was filled with shock.

Although he had overestimated Nalan Chenfeng's cultivation speed as much as possible, he was still somewhat incredulous when the day actually arrived.

The Dou Wang marks a watershed moment for powerful figures on the Dou Qi Continent.

Reaching this level allows one to Dou Qi Transformation Wings and soar through the skies. Whether in the Inner Academy, the Black-Corner Region, or the Northwest Continent, one can be considered a powerful figure.

Even in the Central Plains Continent, it cannot be considered too weak.

The ability to fly on its own is already beyond the capabilities of countless people.

A Dou Wang who is not even fifteen years old would be an absolute top genius, not to mention in empires like the Black-Corner Region and the Northwest Continent, even among the top forces in the Central Plains Continent.

"Elder?"

Behind Su Qian came the voice of an elder, who had also sensed the energy fluctuations from the direction of the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.

"It's alright, it's just that little fellow Nalan Chenfeng who broke through."

Su Qian waved his hand, stroked his beard, and his old eyes gleamed with a sharp light.

"Battle... Dou Wang..."

Inside the cultivation room.

Nalan Chenfeng was unaware that the commotion caused by his breakthrough had already been noticed by Su Qian and some of the Inner Academy guarding the tower.

At this moment, Nalan Chenfeng's entire mind was focused on his body.

Within his dantian, Nalan Chenfeng's original rhombus-shaped Dou Qi Sea Urchin had disappeared, or rather, transformed into another form.

It was a surging vortex of dark red energy. At the center of the vortex, strands of Dou Qi flowed from the meridians throughout the body, intertwining and entwining like silk threads, faintly forming a peculiar balance.

After becoming Dou Wang, one no longer needs to store all of their Dou Qi in their Dantian. Instead, they can distribute it throughout their meridians and draw upon the energy of the surrounding world at any time.

This is the biggest difference between Dou Wang expert and someone below Dou Ling.

Similarly, this is why Dou Wang expert can easily condense Dou Qi Wings and truly break free from the constraints of the ground.

"Call..."

Nalan Chenfeng exhaled a long breath and slowly opened his eyes.

Deep within those dark pupils, a dark red light flickered and swirled, only settling down after a long while.

"Dou Wang is no easy feat..."

Nalan Chenfeng raised his right hand, a thought forming in his mind.

Laugh!

Dark red Dou Qi surged from his back, instantly condensing into a pair of illusory wings about half a zhang in length.

Its wings were a dark red color, and flames flickered faintly within its wingspan.

"True Dou Qi Transformation Wings are indeed inferior to the Purple Cloud Wings..."

Nalan Chenfeng smiled slightly, gently clenched his white hands, and the wings behind him immediately dispersed.

After advancing to the Dou Wang and gaining the ability to Dou Qi Transformation Wings, the Purple Cloud Wings could only be used as a means of acceleration, no longer his primary means of flight.

"Um..."

Before Nalan Chenfeng could fully savor the thrill of this breakthrough in strength, a thought suddenly struck him.

In a daze, Nalan Chenfeng could feel that after the energy fluctuations brought about by the breakthrough within his body subsided, a strange feeling spread from the depths of his soul.

"Give it a try."

Nalan Chenfeng composed himself and made a thought.

Deep within a pair of jet-black pupils, a finely woven black halo began to rotate silently.

Everything around was still.

"One breath... two breaths... three breaths..."

Nalan Chenfeng silently calculated the time, but the increase was still the same as before, with no significant difference.

"Four breaths..."

Four breaths later, the Time Stop ended.

"The changes are still based on the same growth logic as before..."

Nalan Chenfeng clicked his tongue, feeling slightly disappointed.

The time it takes to breathe is about fifteen seconds, which is a clear improvement compared to before. However, after breaking through to the Dou Wang, this increase remains the same, which is not what was expected.

"Hmm, it seems like it can still be used..."

In a flash, Nalan Chenfeng's thoughts stirred again, and the black halo in the depths of his pupils began to spin once more.

Everything around them fell silent once more.

"Twice!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Nalan Chenfeng's eyes.

Previously, he could only use this ability once a day, but now he can use it twice in a row.

The implication of two instances of Time Stop in four breaths is self-evident.

Reaching the level of Dou Wang is indeed a qualitative leap.

Not only has their strength increased dramatically, but their special abilities have also undergone a qualitative leap.

"Perhaps this improvement will not stop there in the future..."

Nalan Chenfeng murmured to himself.

He could vaguely sense that this ability had a deeper potential that had not yet been developed.

It's not just that Time Stop, perhaps... there's something else?

After pondering for a moment without any clue, Nalan Chenfeng stopped thinking about it.

He has just broken through to the Dou Wang, and his Dou Qi is somewhat unstable. His realm still needs to be stabilized, so there is no point in delving into things that he has no clue about at the moment.

Two weeks later.

The Ninth Floor the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, a training room.

The stone door slowly opened, Nalan Chenfeng stepped out.

Compared to half a month ago, Nalan Chenfeng's aura had strengthened, and he no longer had the instability he had shown after breaking through.

She wore a moon-white robe, her long black hair was tied back, her facial features were well-defined, and her black eyes were calm as water.

Approaching fifteen, Nalan Chenfeng had shed some of his boyish naiveté and gained more of a youthful vigor.

"It's time to go out."

Nalan Chenfeng smiled slightly and walked up the passage, soon exiting the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.

Outside, the sun was blazing.

Nalan Chenfeng took a deep breath, looked up at the sky, and then, with a thought, a pair of dark red Dou Qi Wings suddenly unfolded.

Its wings were dark red, about half a zhang in size, and from a distance they looked like a pair of burning flames.

The next instant, with a gentle flap of his wings, Nalan Chenfeng's body lifted off the ground and hovered in mid-air.

"This is what it feels like to fly..."

A smile played on Nalan Chenfeng's lips. With a flap of his wings, he streaked across the sky like a dark red streak of light, flying towards the Freshman Area.

"Dou Qi Transformation Wings... then... that person is Nalan Chenfeng?"

"My God, Dou Wang expert who's not even fifteen years old!"

"..."

Freshman Area, Wind Pavilion Headquarters.

In the quiet courtyard, Han Yue sat at the stone table, quietly flipping through the records of the Wind Pavilion's affairs.

Today, Han Yue is still wearing a silver-white dress, which perfectly outlines her slender waist, and her two straight, fair legs are faintly visible under the hem of the dress.

Her long, silvery-white hair reached her waist, gleaming with a cool sheen in the sunlight, adding to her icy and captivating beauty.

"Sister Yue!"

Ziyan's voice came from outside the courtyard, followed by a white figure walking in.

"Ziyan, what's wrong?"

Han Yue put down the book in her hand and looked up at Ziyan.

"Why hasn't that guy come out of seclusion yet? He promised to come with me to the Magical Beast Mountain Range to find medicinal herbs, it's been months already, what a liar."

Ziyan pouted, looking dissatisfied.
