One Star Dou Shi

One Star Dou Shi

"Miss, these things of his don't look like something he could just casually run into in the Magical Beast Mountain Range. The medicinal herbs could barely be chalked up to luck, but battle technique scrolls? This old servant has lived more than half his life and has never picked one up."

Only the voice could be heard; no one could be seen.

A Dark Attribute Guard was all about appearing and disappearing like a ghost.

Xun Er had long since gotten used to it. Hearing the sudden voice, her steps did not pause in the slightest.

"Old Ling, could you have forgotten that widely circulated saying? No matter how Big Brother Chen Xiao obtained them, it has nothing to do with us."

On the Dou Qi Continent, there was such a saying.

If one day you fell off a cliff and dropped into a cave, do not panic. Take two steps forward, and perhaps you would become a mighty expert!

After all, the world was vast, and nothing was too strange to exist.

The guard hidden in the shadows paused slightly, then smiled in relief.

Inside the small hut.

Chen Xiao forcefully suppressed the urge to swallow the Ice Spirit Flame Grass right away and first went to look for a Xiao Family Elder.

Showing his face to indicate that he had already returned was one reason.

On the other hand, he also wanted to completely put aside the unnecessary daily chores.

In the past, he had had no choice. He had to exchange labor for food. Now, the situation was different. He was already able to support himself.

Therefore, there was no need to waste at least an hour every day anymore.

Using that time to cultivate, read, and broaden his knowledge were all better choices.

"As for meals, do as you wish and handle them yourself. The rent for the house can be waived. My Xiao Family is not lacking this palm-sized patch of land. Also, you are gradually growing up. Whether you leave or stay in the future, you need to think it over more."

"I understand. Many thanks, Elder."

After giving his thanks, Chen Xiao finally left.

This elder named Xiao Shi Yi was the Xiao Family member who had interacted with him the most over the years, and he was quite humane.

That evening.

Quite a few Xiao Family youths gathered on the training ground, excitedly discussing Jia Nan Academy.

The annual Jia Nan recruitment was considered an extremely grand event in Wu Tan City. The young men and women of every clan also took pride in being able to enter Jia Nan Academy.

"Did you all see those students in the recruitment team? They're clearly not that much older, but every single one of them is terrifyingly strong. If I can enter Jia Nan Academy, will I become as strong as them too?"

"That instructor is the truly amazing one. I feel like she's even stronger than the Clan Leader."

"What a pity. Jia Nan Academy's recruitment threshold is too high. I'm only at the fifth stage of Dou Zhi Li right now. I don't even know if I'll be able to meet the requirements in the future."

"Stop dreaming. Among us, probably only Cousin Xiao Yan will be able to meet the requirements within two or three years!"

Listening to the pink-dressed girl's flattery, Xiao Yan, who was sitting in the center, felt that it was somewhat childish, yet he still could not help raising the corners of his mouth.

Those words sounded good! He loved hearing them!

Only, two or three years?

Why would he need that long?

Xiao Yan, who was already at the seventh stage of Dou Zhi Li, sneered inwardly. Within a year, he would definitely be qualified to enter Jia Nan Academy.

However, whether he would go when the time came, he had not yet decided.

At present, no one from the Xiao Family had ever entered Jia Nan Academy. This left Xiao Yan with very little understanding of this rather famous institution.

Elsewhere.

Chen Xiao, who held Jia Nan Academy in rather high regard, was currently sitting cross-legged on his bed with his eyes closed.

The Ice Emperor Scripture circulated through several cycles. Only when he felt that his own condition had already reached its best did Chen Xiao slowly open his eyes.

Looking at the Ice Spirit Flame Grass beside him, which had already been washed clean, Chen Xiao no longer hesitated. He picked it up and swallowed it all down as if eating a snack.

He had already specially flipped through the Ancient Texts Xun Er had left behind. Just as Xun Er had said, there was not the slightest falsehood.

The slightly bitter taste entered his stomach, and Chen Xiao immediately felt an icy chill spread from within his body to his entire frame.

However, thanks to the advantage of his Ice Attribute, Chen Xiao not only felt no pain at all, he instead felt a refreshing comfort that pierced straight through him.

In just a few breaths, the energy contained within the Ice Spirit Flame Grass began to take effect, causing the meridians around Chen Xiao's body to swell slightly.

Seeing this, Chen Xiao did not dare let himself be distracted. His hands swiftly formed a cultivation seal, then he sank his mind into his body and circulated his technique to refine this heaven-sent fortune.

As Chen Xiao entered his cultivation state, the energy surging through the surrounding heaven and earth also faintly quickened. As if attracted, it continuously gathered toward the small hut.

The energy contained within the Ice Spirit Flame Grass and the Heaven and Earth Energy constantly surging over, under the support of both, left Chen Xiao so busy he could hardly tell up from down. He could only do his utmost to circulate the Ice Emperor Scripture to its limit, refining and absorbing it.

After this energy was refined by the technique, it slowly transformed into pure Dou Qi, and was finally poured by Chen Xiao into the Ice Blue Cyclone within his body.

As streams of vigorous Dou Qi poured in, the cyclone that had originally been rotating at an easy pace suddenly began spinning at high speed, like a glutton who had tasted something sweet, greedily absorbing the unceasingly injected Dou Qi.

Faster, faster, even faster...

It seemed to say just that.

He had no idea how much time had passed, and Chen Xiao did not know how much newly refined and transformed Dou Qi he had poured into that Ice Blue Cyclone.

Finally, at a certain moment, Quantitative change triggered qualitative change!

Looking inward, Chen Xiao could clearly see that within the Ice Blue Cyclone, some liquid-like things had appeared. They were like dewdrops on blades of grass in the early morning, quietly gathered there.

One drop, two drops, three drops...

As the Ice Blue Cyclone absorbed more and more Dou Qi, the number of those dewdrop-like liquids rapidly increased as well.

This state continued until the twenty-fifth "dewdrop" appeared. Only then did it slowly return to calm, and the cyclone's rotation gradually came to a stop at that moment.

Chen Xiao suddenly opened his eyes. In an instant, the hair behind him moved without wind, and his clothes billowed without wind. An aura several times stronger than before burst violently from within his body!

Exhaling a mouthful of pale-blue cold air, Chen Xiao leaped down from the bed.

He clenched his fist slightly, and at once felt the fullness of the power within him—unprecedented!

After sensing it for a short while, Chen Xiao put strength into his fist while his thoughts shifted.

In an instant, dazzling ice-blue Dou Qi tinged with cold abruptly emerged. Under Chen Xiao's mental control, it opened and closed, slowly clinging to the outside of the clothes on his body.

Viewed from the front now, it was as if he had put on an ice-blue gauze garment, extremely mysterious.

"This is Dou Qi Gauze?"

As if he had obtained some novel toy, Chen Xiao examined it over and over, constantly moving his limbs as he sensed the changes in himself.

On this continent, every realm of cultivation was sharply distinct.

For example, condensing a Dou Qi Cyclone was the sign of becoming a Dou Zhe.

And Dou Qi Gauze was the signature skill of a Dou Shi!

It not only changed one's appearance, but was also extremely practical.

After merely sensing it for a moment, Chen Xiao detected that with the enhancement of Dou Qi Gauze, his speed, defense, attacks, and so on had all received an all-around boost!

He opened the door. The starry sky was brilliant with countless stars, and the Xiao Family was utterly silent.

Feeling that seemingly inexhaustible strength inside him, Chen Xiao turned back into the room, took out "Roar of the Mad Lion", and headed straight for Back Mountain.
