Although we've never met.
However, Xiao Yan suddenly developed a slight interest in this Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall.
A fighting spirit rose in his eyes, and Xiao Yan turned his gaze away from the notice board and back into the courtyard.
It's impossible for him to jump directly from level 41 to level 50 in just one year.
Unless you consume a whole immortal Immortal Herb.
However, he has already used the Immortal Herb, so even if there were another Immortal Herb, it wouldn't be of much use to him.
Therefore, the increase in Soul Power Level will not be significant.
And besides Soul Power Level...
The only thing he can improve is his Twin Martial Souls.
Previous research showed that Xiao Yan was already able to separate his Soul Division Martial Soul, and in battle, he could use its special spatial attributes to launch surprise attacks.
However, Xiao Yan always felt that the upper limit of the Soul Division Martial Soul was not limited to this.
If he can truly master the connection between the two Martial Soul, his strength will definitely be greatly enhanced.
In addition to that, there are also Dou Technique!
As the only Black Tier Dou Technique that Xiao Yan mastered, the Eight Extremes Collapse was the first time he used it against Yan.
In just one strike, Yan was severely injured; this was undoubtedly a trump card.
Unfortunately, he couldn't use this tactic unless absolutely necessary.
After all, this tactic truly resulted in killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of your own.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan felt a faint pain starting in his right arm again.
"Judging by the time, in just over a month it will be another whole year..."
Xiao Yan's thoughts were in turmoil; it had been almost a year since his last meeting with Battle Through the Heavens Xiao Yan.
From the Shrek Academy Suotuo City, across the Heaven Dou Empire, to the present-day Spirit City.
Less than a year has passed, yet everything around me has changed so much.
"I wonder, how is he doing now that he's become that Yao Lao master's disciple...?"
Shaking his head, Xiao Yan returned to the courtyard.
A year is neither a long nor a short time, but Xiao Yan felt that defeating Hu Liena and others who were at the Soul King level would not be easy.
" Eight Extremes Collapse!"
From behind the Xiao Clan mountain, Xiao Yan let out a cold shout.
He leaped off a boulder and charged toward a giant tree as thick as a person.
"Bang!"
His elbow slammed into the tree, causing leaves to fall and a surge of fighting Dou Qi to erupt, piercing a hole the size of a bowl through it.
"Hiss..."
Xiao Yan felt the pain in his elbow and looked at his reddened elbow. Although he was very satisfied with the power of this move, he was somewhat helpless about this move that had a slight tendency to self-harm.
Moreover, feeling that almost a third of his Dou Qi had been consumed, Xiao Yan felt that he could not use this move lightly.
One wrong move and you could become a lamb to the slaughter.
"Teacher, how is it? Do I consider myself a master?"
A hint of excitement appeared on Xiao Yan's face as he spoke to the floating soul entity not far away.
The Yao Lao's gaze swept over the hole in the tree trunk, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.
To have mastered Black Tier Dou Technique so quickly and so well, my disciple's talent is truly remarkable.
However, hearing Xiao Yan's somewhat smug tone, Yao Lao waved his hand dismissively and said indifferently:
"You're barely there yet. You've only just begun."
For nearly a year, he guided Xiao Yan in his cultivation.
Under the immense pressure of his father's disappearance, Xiao Yan cultivated with extreme diligence, or rather, to the point of risking his life.
Even the Yao Lao couldn't help but be moved by the thirteen-year-old boy before him after just one year.
In just one year, he climbed from the Dou Qi Third Stage to the Ninth Stage of Dou Qi!
Even though he had already walked this path of cultivation once, Xiao Yan's perseverance still moved him.
Perhaps the reason he made such rapid progress is because of his deep affection for his family...
The Yao Lao shifted his gaze from Xiao Yan, and spoke in a gentle tone:
"Alright, continue preparing those medicinal herbs. Your current physical constitution can't withstand too many of these Dou Technique. Releasing them too often will damage your body."
"Also, go buy some more materials today, and I'll concoct some more medicinal liquid for you tonight."
Xiao Yan nodded gently as he listened to Yao Lao's words.
For a whole year, his cultivation followed the instructions of the Yao Lao.
At first, Xiao Yan was somewhat wary of the soul in the ring, but after a year of contact, every time he refined it until his whole body ached and his physical body was damaged.
It was only because the other party expended their Soul Power to refine the soaking and repairing medicine that I was able to fully recover the next day.
In just one year, he went from the Dou Qi Third Stage to the Ninth Stage of Dou Qi!
It wasn't just because he practiced diligently.
What he couldn't do without was the medicinal liquid his teacher prepared for him, which deserves a lot of credit.
Now, he is only one step away from becoming Dou Zhe!
Half a month ago, a letter arrived from the capital, stating that Misty Cloud Sect, the Grand Elder of the Yun Leng Sect, had already read the Nalan Family's letter of recommendation.
The application to recommend Xiao Yan to join the Misty Cloud Sect was approved.
Xiao Yan can go to the Misty Cloud Sect to report at any time.
If it were before the Xiao Clan's misfortune, Xiao Yan might have chosen to go to the Misty Cloud Sect, as it was the strongest force in the entire Jia Ma Empire.
But now, Xiao Yan has a new choice.
Everything is left to the teacher to decide.
The Misty Cloud Sect, whose highest-ranking member is only Dou Emperor, is not enough to be Xiao Yan's support for revenge.
Suppressing the restless Dou Qi within him, Xiao Yan turned and walked out of the Xiao Clan compound.
"Alchemists truly live up to their reputation as the most expensive profession. If it weren't for my title as the young clan leader, I wouldn't even be able to afford these materials..."
Since his teacher was going to concoct a medicinal potion for him that evening, Xiao Yan didn't continue cultivating on the back mountain.
We've almost used up all the materials we bought last time.
Perfect timing, I can also take this opportunity to rest briefly.
Yes, for Xiao Yan now, going shopping to buy medicine for refining at night is a spare time he squeezes out from his cultivation.
During the day, I practice Dou Technique and hone my physical body. In the evening, I return to my room to familiarize myself with the medicinal properties of herbs under the guidance of the Yao Lao, practice controlling the heat, and meditate at night.
This is Xiao Yan's daily routine over the past year.
" Brother Xiao Yan ~"
Just as he left the back mountain, Xiao Yan heard a sweet voice.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan smiled and turned around. A girl in a purple dress stood not far away, her hands behind her back and her head tilted, looking at him with a bright smile.
" Xun'er..."
Xiao Yan raised his head, looked at the girl in front of him, and his tone became more relaxed.
"Is Brother Xiao Yan going to the market again?"
Xun'er stepped forward and looked at Xiao Yan, who had become more robust and weathered after a year of cultivation. A ripple flashed in her eyes, and her heart ached.
"Haha, yeah, wanna go shopping together?"
Xiao Yan spoke, a smile on his face.
"OK!"
The girl responded cheerfully, skipping and hopping to stand beside Xiao Yan, telling him about the interesting things that had happened to her recently. Xiao Yan nodded gently in response, his thin shoulders seeming to lighten a bit as the girl spoke.
