The two-month vacation is now halfway over.
However, the situation regarding the Battle Through the Heavens World that had been weighing on Xiao Yan's mind was temporarily put at ease.
It's unclear whether the " Yao Lao " was acting out of kindness or had ulterior motives.
However, at least based on the current situation, it seems that he doesn't have any ill intentions towards Xiao Yan from the Battle Through the Heavens World for the time being.
Moreover, I just obtained a high-level Black Tier Dou Technique.
Now, Xiao Yan is focusing all his attention on figuring out this Dou Technique.
It took a full ten days.
Xiao Yan had just finished smoothing and moisturizing the meridians in his body that were circulating the Eight Extremes Collapse technique.
This also made Xiao Yan realize the difficulty of Black Tier Dou Technique; compared to Yellow Tier, it was a qualitative leap.
After finally warming and nourishing the meridians, the real practice of the Eight Extremes Collapse begins!
" Eight Extremes Collapse!"
"Bang!"
"Hiss~"
In the grove.
Xiao Yan gave a cold shout, followed by a dull thud.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yan revealed a pained expression, rubbing his already reddened elbow.
"Strangeness..."
Xiao Yan's brows furrowed tightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
This is already the fifth day since he finished nourishing his meridians during his cultivation!
For five whole days, he made no progress whatsoever in his cultivation of the Eight Extremes Collapse.
"There's nothing wrong..."
Xiao Yan closed his eyes, and fragments of what he had received from Battle Through the Heavens Xiao Yan the Heavens kept flashing through his mind.
The most important factor in cultivating the Eight Extremes Collapse technique is, of course, the user's own physical fitness.
After all, if the user's own body is not strong enough, then this is a Dou Technique that will hurt the enemy a thousand times but also hurt yourself eight hundred times!
But no matter what, shouldn't it be possible that I haven't even reached the basics of this Dou Technique in five days?
There must be something wrong!
Xiao Yan frowned, recalling his cultivation of the Eight Extremes Collapse.
Everything should be proceeding according to plan, without the slightest abnormality.
"Tap tap..."
Just as Xiao Yan was pondering, several voices came from not far away, and Xiao Yan stopped thinking.
Zhu Zhuqing held the food in her hands and skillfully handed it to Xiao Yan.
This period of two weeks.
Xiao Yan often missed breakfast because of his cultivation, and Zhu Zhuqing would always bring him food.
Thank you, Zhu Zhuqing.
Xiao Yan took the steamed bun from Zhu Zhuqing and wolfed it down.
"Slow down, no one's going to take it from you."
Zhu Zhuqing gave Xiao Yan Xiao Yan a rare sidelong glance, stood in front of him, looked down at him sitting on the ground eating a steamed Xiao Yan, and asked:
"You... have encountered a bottleneck in your cultivation?"
"Is it that obvious?" Xiao Yan asked in surprise.
Zhu Zhuqing nodded gently and said:
You've been frowning for days.
"You don't need to work so hard."
Zhu Zhuqing suddenly looked down at Xiao Yan's swollen and bruised elbow, which was hidden beneath his rolled-up sleeve, and spoke earnestly:
"Among the eight of us, we estimate that only Dai Mubai and Tang San can rival your strength."
Compared to your peers, your abilities are undoubtedly top-tier, so why make things so difficult for yourself?
Xiao Yan was surprised that Zhu Zhuqing, who was usually quiet, would suddenly say so much.
Startled, she looked up and saw a hint of concern in Zhu Zhuqing's dark eyes.
Sensing this slight unease, Xiao Yan, feeling guilty, was the first to avert his gaze.
Looking down, he caught sight of Zhu Zhuqing's long, slender legs, which appeared even more voluptuous under her tight black combat suit.
"It's nothing, it's just a necessary step in cultivating a kind of... Soul Skill, it won't have any impact."
Xiao Yan did not answer Zhu Zhuqing, but simply waved his hand casually and said with a smile.
He always remembered that faint killing intent he felt when his Martial Soul Awakening.
As a transmigrator, he had no sense of belonging to this world, and that hint of killing intent made Xiao Yan always wary of it.
Even if... he later became an apprentice of Grandmaster, it would still be the same.
Therefore, Xiao Yan has never slacked off in his cultivation.
"Fool..."
Seeing Xiao Yan's nonchalant attitude, Zhu Zhuqing muttered something under her breath, then took out a jade bottle from her bosom and handed it to Xiao Yan:
"This is a type of ointment I use; it's most effective for sprains and bruises."
After handing the jade bottle to Xiao Yan, Zhu Zhuqing turned and walked into the forest, beginning her own cultivation.
She escaped from the Star Luo Empire.
That was her path of escape, and also her path of slaughter.
She also has her reasons for wanting to become stronger at all costs.
Xiao Yan looked at the jade bottle in his hand, which still retained a trace of warmth. The dark purple jade bottle had a cute cat-shaped pattern on its surface.
"The ointment smells wonderful."
"Smack!"
A small pebble was kicked from behind Xiao Yan, and Zhu Zhuqing's slightly annoyed voice rang out:
"That ointment has no smell!"
That afternoon, during lunch, Tang San, who had been locked in the forging room for forty-nine days, emerged from seclusion.
The iron blocks that were originally piled up with supplies were all transformed into exquisite Hidden Weapon weapons under Tang San's forging.
"What good stuff have you gotten your hands on this time, Little San?"
Xiao Wu clung to Tang San and asked curiously.
"Hehe, actually, not many things have been truly forged, but this time, I've prepared something quite practical for everyone."
Tang San Tang San spoke, and after they finished eating, everyone followed him to the center of the playground.
Tang San smiled slightly, took out a cylindrical object from the Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges, and, under everyone's watchful eyes, put it completely over his left arm.
At both the front and back ends of this item, there are specially designed elastic cords.
With Tang San's adjustment, it quickly and perfectly fitted onto his left arm.
"This thing is called the Flying God Claw!"
As soon as Tang San finished speaking, he gently flicked his left hand, and five rings appeared in front of him, which he then slipped onto his fingers.
"This Flying God Claw was forged using a special technique, and its power is considerable."
As Tang San spoke, he picked up a fist-sized stone. With the help of his index finger and the ring that stopped the pulling, five sharp metal claws shot out from it, just covering the length of his palm.
"Click!"
The fist-sized stone was crushed instantly by that claw.
"Such sharp claws!"
Ma Hongjun spoke up in surprise.
"Hehe, this is just a side effect." Tang San shook his head and continued speaking to the group:
"It's called the Flying God Claw, but its true function lies in the word 'flying,' serving a purpose similar to flying."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang San looked at a large tree at the edge of the playground, raised his left hand, and then hooked his ring finger.
"Call out!"
The five sharp metal claws on the Flying God Claw instantly shot out into the air, flying directly towards the tree and firmly gripping its trunk.
The group also discovered that Mina was attached to an extremely strong rope behind the claw.
Then, the rope of the Flying God Claw retracted, and Tang San's figure flew directly towards the big tree.
Tang San circled around the trees, leaped a few times, and returned to his original position. He then addressed the group:
"Although the Flying God Claw cannot actually make you fly, they can be quite effective in certain specific environments."
"The rope inside this Flying God Claw is thirty meters long, and it can easily withstand a pulling force of no more than three hundred kilograms."
