In the pitch-black night sky, a crescent moon hung alone. The faint and cold moonlight scattered on the ground.
In the pitch-black forest, a faint bonfire danced lightly, bringing a trace of warm light to the silent night.
Beside the bonfire, two youths leaned against the tree trunk. One of them was holding a fire stick in his hand and playing with the flames in boredom.
Counting today, Xiao Yan and Fang Yu had already left Wu Tan City for five days. During this period of time, Xiao Yan told Fang Yu about Yao Lao's existence. Yao Lao was also extremely interested in Fang Yu. If it was not for the fact that Fang Yu did not have the conditions to become an alchemist, it was likely that Yao Lao would have taken Fang Yu in as a disciple.
Casually putting in a piece of firewood, the bonfire became much brighter. Fang Yu propped his chin on his palm and said lazily,""Hey, Xiao Yan, where are we going?”
"Magical Beast Mountain Range." An old voice was emitted from the ring on Xiao Yan's finger.
"Isn't it possible to enter the Magical Beast Mountain Range near Wu Tan City? Why did you run so far?" Xiao Yan asked doubtfully.
"This is the eastern part of the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts. If we cross it from here, we will reach the Tager Desert. That is our final destination for training.”Yao Lao laughed.
"Crossing the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts?" The corner of Xiao Yan's mouth parted as he laughed dryly,"With my current strength, I should be able to deal with some rank two Magical Beasts. If I want to spread it around, I'm afraid…it is somewhat impossible, right?"”
"Only in a dangerous place can one's potential erupt.”Yao Lao spoke in a faint voice,"I plan to let you reach the Da Dou Shi level in the Magic Beast Mountain Range."”
"Uh…then during this period of time when I'm training, won't I have to spend it in the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts?”Xiao Yan's face immediately became bitter when he heard this.
"My estimated time limit is one year. For the remaining half a year, you need to go to the Tager Desert to cultivate.”
"Tager Desert?" Muttering a few times, Xiao Yan helplessly shook his head. Forget it. In any case, with Yao Lao protecting him by his side, he would not allow himself to be eaten by a Magical Beast, right?
"Haha! Xiao Yan, are you afraid?" Fang Yu slapped his thigh and laughed. "Go, you're the one who's afraid." Xiao Yan curled his lips.
"I'm not afraid. Speaking of which, you should first confirm your strength.”Fang Yu shook his finger and said," Why don't you let me fight you?"”Fang Yu jumped up from the ground, tidied his collar, and waved his hand at Xiao Yan. The provocation was self-evident.
"Oh." Yao Lao floated out from the ring and said with great interest,"Alright then, let me watch the battle between the two of you.”
Xiao Yan also jumped up from the ground. The Dou Qi on his forehead ignited and his vambrace was instantly wrapped in an orange colored Great Sky Flame. He said indifferently,"Fight, Fang Yu!"
Fang Yu smiled and got into a battle stance.
Quiet as a virgin, moving like a rabbit.
Xiao Yan's left hand moved backwards and a powerful flame suddenly erupted. Under the powerful pushing force of the flame, Xiao Yan charged forward like an arrow that had left the bow.
" Wow, his speed is so fast, but just like this…" Fang Yu had yet to finish speaking when he was struck by Xiao Yan's fist that was covered in flames, causing his body to fly backwards.
Xiao Yan took advantage of his victory to chase after him. Both of his hands spat out flames behind him. In an instant, he arrived in front of Fang Yu and threw a punch at his chest.
At this moment, Fang Yu had yet to land on the ground. He praised in his heart that his speed was very fast and that his strength was not bad. The corner of his eyes saw Xiao Yan's fist and his hands used an even faster speed than Xiao Yan's to cross and block in front of him.
"Bang!"
Fang Yu took a few steps back and did not suffer too much damage.
"Catch it, Xiao Yan. It is my turn to attack.”Fang Yu waved his hand and three rays of light flew toward Xiao Yan. Before Xiao Yan, who had just landed, could react, he heard Fang Yu's voice and instinctively dodged to the right. Unfortunately, the speed of the light was too fast. It still managed to cut Xiao Yan's face.
What was this? Xiao Yan did not care about the wound on his face. His eyes stared at the object that Fang Yu threw out. He saw three silver needles stabbed into the ground, one of which was stained with blood.
Silver needles? Right, he said he was a doctor. Was this his weapon? Xiao Yan thought in his heart.
Fang Yu looked at Xiao Yan who was standing by the side. He smiled and said,"Don't be distracted, Xiao Yan." Immediately, five more silver needles flew out of his hand.
Xiao Yan waved his hand and knocked the silver needle to the ground. He calmly said,"As long as you have enough speed, there's nothing to be afraid of.”
"Is that so?" Fang Yu strangely smiled. Xiao Yan's vigilance rose when he saw Fang Yu's smile. His body was just about to retreat when an intense pain was transmitted from his shoulder.
Xiao Yan turned his head around and saw a silver needle inserted into his shoulder. How was that possible? When? Xiao Yan was greatly shocked in his heart. However, he discovered that there was an extremely thin line at the end of the silver needle. This line was extremely thin. Adding on the fact that it was night, it was understandable that Xiao Yan did not notice it.
Xiao Yan pulled out the silver needle. The Great Space Flame instantly incinerated it completely. He said indifferently,"I see. You tied the thin thread to the tail of the silver needle and mixed it into three needles to let me lower my guard when I realized that it was just a needle. Then, you used five more silver needles to attract my attention and finally controlled the silver needle to shoot at my shoulder, right?”
"Yes, that's right." Fang Yu clapped his hands and said," What's next?”Fang Yu jumped into the sky and waved his hand again. Immediately, the sky was filled with tiny silver needles that emitted a dark green light.
The number was too shocking! A drop of cold sweat flowed down Xiao Yan's forehead. His orange eyes were filled with solemness. However, the corner of Xiao Yan's mouth curled up. He opened his palm and aimed it at the needle rain. The Great Space Flame spread out like the wind, instantly turning the silver needles in front of him into powder.
"As long as you continue to burn like this, no matter how many needles you have, it will be useless.”Xiao Yan confidently said.
"Humph." Fang Yu snorted and said,"Look behind you."”Xiao Yan leaned back. He wouldn't know if he didn't look, but when he saw it, he was so scared that cold sweat flowed down his forehead. It was as if he wanted to extinguish the Dou Qi on his forehead.
There was also a rain of needles behind him, and the number was no less than the ones in front. Eyeing the stunned face of Xiao Yan, Fang Yu smiled faintly and said,"How about it? Do you choose to be stabbed like a hedgehog in the back or in the front?”
In fact, this kind of attack could still be blocked. As long as one covered their entire body with battle energy, they could block it. However, the death aura flame was different.
Dou Qi. Even if Xiao Yan's strength had reached the Dou Shi level, he was unable to gather Dou Qi clothes like a Dou Shi. The Death Qi flame emphasized control. Life energy was the foundation of the Death Qi flame. Awareness and Mental Energy determined the quantity and quality of the Death Qi flame. Xiao Yan, who had only possessed the Death Qi flame for a few days, was unable to cover his entire body with the Death Qi flame.
"I…" Xiao Yan opened his mouth but could only helplessly say: "I lost."
"Haha." Fang Yu smiled and waved his hand. All the silver needles disappeared without a trace. He walked to the side of Xiao Yan, who had withdrawn from the Super Death Qi mode, and said,"How is it? Looks like I'm still the stronger one.”
Seeing Xiao Yan nod his head, Fang Yu sat down and said,"You are not bad. Your strength is probably comparable to a five or six star Dou Shi. That move just now wasn't bad, right? If it wasn't for the fact that you couldn't produce the battle qi cloak, this battle would have lasted even longer.”
"Damn it, how should I defend against that move of yours?”Xiao Yan scratched his head, trying to think of a solution. "Haha, if you can turn the deathly flames into a shield, you might be able to defend against it." Fang Yu laughed.”
"How is that possible? "Turning the flame into a shield…" As he spoke, a bright light suddenly flashed in Xiao Yan's mind.!
Xiao Yan mused. There were undoubtedly only a few ways to attack a flame. The vibration, rotation, explosion of the flame…
But could this weak flame do it?
Wait a minute! Spinning…
Xiao Yan seemed to have caught onto something. He suddenly stood up and instantly entered the Super Death Qi mode.
He stretched his left hand forward and slowly released the fire. He controlled it with his mind to form a shield-like object.
Xiao Yan tried it and his eyes lit up.
"Yes, it is precisely because of this weak flame that it can be flexible and controllable.”
[Flame Shield: XI-DEFENER!] (XI-Defender)
Xiao Yan's left hand shook and the shield instantly disappeared. With a low shout, the fire formed a shield again.
"Looks like," Xiao Yan's voice was filled with joy,"I can completely control it. The rotating characteristics of the flame…Hmm?" Spinning…"
Rotation…defense…if he rotated on the spot and spread the flames all over his body, wouldn't it be a full-range defense?
The more Xiao Yan thought about it, the more excited he became. He laughed out loud.
"What are you laughing at? You have a stroke and you want me to treat it.”Fang Yu couldn't stand it anymore. "I'm fine." After his excitement, Xiao Yan calmed down and said to Fang Yu,"Fang Yu, let's fight again. I definitely won't lose this time.”
"It's better not to come. I'm afraid you'll lose again.”
"What do you mean?"
"It means what it says."
"What?!"
The Drug Lord looked at the fight between the two of them with relief. This was the embodiment of friendship.
(Please think of some new moves for the protagonist. I will be very grateful to you.)
