After saying this, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King turned and flew away, leaving Xiao Yan deep in thought.
"Kid, don't think so much right now. What he can do isn't necessarily something you can do. Don't aim too high—just follow things step by step. I don't want to see you get yourself killed playing around."
"Yes, Teacher, I understand. Even if I want to innovate and explore, I need sufficient strength first.
"Still, Teacher, I really do have an idea I can try."
With that, he flew toward the outskirts of the city. Hai Bodong said nothing about Yao Chen's soul and followed after him.
Xiao Yan spent a great deal of effort before finally managing to form a Buddha Rage Fire Lotus fused from Wind Fury Dragon Flame and beast fire.
Although it was merely a Buddha Rage Fire Lotus formed from a Heavenly Flame and beast fire, the power unleashed by its explosion still made even Hai Bodong, a Dou Huang, take notice.
"I got the idea after seeing that flower Senior made by fusing Heavenly Flames. Sure enough, I can do it too, though its power still falls far short."
"You really are full of surprises, kid. To think you developed a move like this—the power is much stronger than an Earth-tier Dou Technique, isn't it?"
Hai Bodong did not hold back his praise for Xiao Yan, but Yao Chen said, "Its power is indeed immense, but its stability is poor. It's extremely dangerous, and it takes far too long to unleash."
"Mm, Teacher, I'll improve it. Where are we going next?"
"Your strength is still far too weak. But since you've already subdued a Heavenly Flame, your foundation is solid enough.
"From here on, using pills to increase your strength won't leave your foundation unstable.
