Yao Tianhuo Tests His Skills, an Unstoppable New Talisman

Just then, Yao Tianhuo and Yao Lao arrived at the Small Mountain Valley.

The two elders had come at the perfect time. Xiao Yan was about to test his new Talisman.

He, too, was curious how strong Xiao Yan had become—and what new trick he had up his sleeve.

"Yao Lao, please don't hold back. Use your full strength. You don't need to worry about hurting me," Xiao Yan
