The Battle Through Heaven
Meeting Old Friends
The familiar gentle laughter caused Liu Qing's body to temporarily stiffen. A moment later, he finally recovered. His face was filled with disbelief as he looked at the unknown young man, ” You .. are you Xiao Yan? ’
Liu Qing's words had just sounded when Liu Fei's beautiful body behind her suddenly shook. Xiao Yan, a name that left an impression in the heart that was difficult to remove. This true genius of the Inner Academy was someone that even his cousin, whom he was proud of, could not pursue …
Her pretty eyes quietly observed the young man in front of her. He was a little surprised when they stopped on a somewhat unfamiliar face. His watchful eyes found some clues and his hands trembled slightly under his sleeves. His eyes began to avoid him. Back then, he had developed a small grudge with Xiao Yan. It was out of grudge that/that Xiao Yan had exchanged blows with Liu Qing. The result, however, had caused the support in his heart to completely collapse. Until now, Liu Fei could not forget the skinny figure that stood proudly in the Battle Arena back then. At that moment, Xiao Yan was merely a young man who had just arrived at the Inner Academy. However, his achievements had attracted the attention of the entire Inner Academy.
” Is ... is he right? ” The back of Liu Fei's teeth bit her red lower lip. Beauties have always loved heroes since ancient times. In this world there were many people stronger than his cousin, whom he considered invincible in his heart. It also caused him to hold back in an orderly manner and learn to treat others gently.
” He looks a bit different, but his voice is still the same .. ” Xiao Yan smiled and waved his hand. His eyes swept over Liu Qing as he spoke with unexpected surprise, ’’ Seven star Dou Huang? Not bad. You are much stronger than Lin Yan. ’
Liu Qing could finally confirm the identity of the person in front after hearing this familiar tone. Excitement surged into his eyes. His eyes also swept over Xiao Yan and his facial expression was a little dull. He laughed bitterly, ” Looks like you have already broken through to the Dou Zong class right? ” He had clearly witnessed Xiao Yan walking in the air earlier.
The faces of the people behind Liu Qing changed slightly after hearing his words. Their eyes were shocked as they swept over Xiao Yan's body. It was rare to find a young expert like a Dou Zong.
” I'm just lucky. ” Xiao Yan slightly smiled, but did not deny it.
’’Ugh, I still can't catch up with you. You are indeed worthy of being the person with the most outstanding talent in the Inner Academy. I have no choice but to admit it .. ’’Liu Qing sighed. Back then, when he was half a foot into the Dou Wang class, Xiao Yan was only a Dou Ling, yet in a few short years, Xiao Yan had already reached a level that only he could see. This extreme change is really a bit hard to accept.
Xiao Yan smiled. His eyes swept over Liu Fei's face behind Liu Qing and smiled as he nodded at her. Under his smile, a bright redness appeared on his face. Her pretty eyes quickly turned around.
’’ You all didn't wait for me when you came home back then. I think something has happened to you. ” Xiao Yan's eyes shifted to Liu Qing as he spoke with a smile.
” Lin Yan said that/that you have already got your revenge and it is useless for us to stay any longer. Therefore, we have formed a group and left the Jia Ma Empire. That's right, why are you here? ’’ Liu Qing speaking with a smile. The greenish color on his face was greatly reduced. Clearly, his heart felt extremely happy about being able to meet Xiao Yan here.
’’ I have to go to Pill Region. Tianhuang City has a Wormhole that leads to the Pill Region, so I came to visit you along the way. ’’Xiao Yan smiled. His eyes swept over the people from the Cheng clan not far away without leaving a trace.
Liu Qing nodded when he heard this. He immediately laughed in an unrestricted way, ’’ After today, Wormhole will be opened once again. I'll help you get everything ready. Leave this little problem to me. ’
’’It is the Cheng clan's turn to manage Wormhole. They have always viewed our Liu clan as a sight-destroying sight. Cousins, they will only be difficult if you show yourself. ” Liu Fei, who was behind Liu Qing, muttered.
Liu Qing's expression sank and Liu Fei stopped talking.
”What has happened? Do you need my help? ” Xiao Yan seems to have not seen Liu Qing's face. His eyes moved to Liu Fei as he asked with a smile.
’’ None, it's just a small matter. Let's go back first. Since you have arrived in Tianhuang City, I must truly accept you no matter what. ’’ Liu Qing waved his hand, pulled Xiao Yan's shoulder, and laughed.
” I never said such words when you followed me to the Jia Ma Empire back then. ” Xiao Yan looked at Liu Qing and softly laughed.
Liu Qing's hand stiffened in the air. His eyes landed on Xiao Yan before he laughed bitterly. He sighed, ‘’This is not the Jia Ma Empire. Only the strength of the Cheng clan was stronger than the Misty Cloud Sect. If you intervene, chances are you will end up pulling some problems. ’
” Ha ha, Liu Qing, you really underestimated Xiao Yan. He had just fought his way out of the Wind Lightning Pavilion. Even the head of the Wind Lightning Northern Pavilion, Fei Tian, could do nothing to him. Just what was that little Cheng clan? ’’Lin Yan by the side curled her mouth as she exclaimed.
Liu Qing and the two Elders behind him were stunned when they heard this. Their faces soon changed slightly. Against the exit of the Wind Lightning Pavilion?
’’ Don't listen to this guy's bullshit. I just came down from Lightning Mountain and had a grudge with the Wind Lightning Pavilion. However, it's been resolved. ’’Xiao Yan waved his hand and smiled as he belittled his story. His tone might seem like a gentle breeze, but the danger hidden within was something Liu Qing and the others could vaguely sense.
Liu Fei's eyes contained an unusual flicker as they slowly swept over Xiao Yan.
’’ Why is the Valley of Fire Burning looking for high level alchemists? With their abilities, it was impossible for them to not have alchemists, right? ”Xiao Yan asked with a hint of doubt.
’’I'm not too sure about this. However, it was rumored that/that the Valley Chief of the Burning Fire Valley wanted to refine a medicinal pill that required the help of some high-level alchemists. ’’ Liu Qing shook his head and replied.
Xiao Yan slightly nodded. His eyes suddenly flung onto the proud face of the purple-robed old man, a distance away when he said, ” In other words, as long as you have an alchemist whose level is higher than that of an old man, this Wormhole will be returned to the Liu clan to be managed? ”
Liu Qing nodded. Some hope involuntarily rose in his heart when he saw Xiao Yan. He was aware that/that Xiao Yan was also an alchemist. Moreover, he was already able to refine a tier 5 medicinal pill when he was in the Inner Academy back then. With his talent, it was impossible for Xiao Yan to not experience any improvement. According to his guess, the current Xiao Yan should be a tier 6 alchemist. Although Xiao Yan might not surpass that purple-robed old man, at least he would not be much weaker …
Xiao Yan smiled when he saw this. He slowly stepped forward and cupped his hands towards the red-robed old man. With a smile, he said, ‘’This senior, the Liu clan has yet to admit defeat. Please wait a moment before handing over the Wormhole. ’
Elder Chi Huo had found Xiao Yan by the time he appeared. He was also surprised that/that Xiao Yan was able to reach the Dou Zong class at such an age. Likely among the same generation, there was hardly anyone who could achieve such a feat.
” If the clan has not admitted defeat, please invite the alchemist. Should the alchemist the Liu clan found be stronger than the grandmaster Xiu, the management rights of this Wormhole would belong to the Liu clan. ” Maybe it was because Elder Chi Huo was aware of Xiao Yan's current strength, but his tone was much more polite when he spoke.
Xiao Yan smirked and nodded when he heard this. After which, he turned his gaze to the purple-robed old man, cupped his hands together, and smiled as he said, ” In that case, allow me the little one to compete with this grandmaster Xiu. What did you say?”
” You are the alchemist the Liu clan invited? ” Elder Chi Huo was stunned when he heard this. His eyes slowly swept over Xiao Yan's body. He subconsciously felt some disbelief. Xiao YanStatus as a Dou Zong at his age had already shocked Elder Chi Huo. If he had the status of an alchemist, would he not be too frightening?
Dou Qi training and pill refinement skills were two extremely profound paths. It is very difficult for a person to be exceptional in one of two categories. There were very few who could manage to obtain great achievements on both paths!
These words of Xiao Yan had also started a commotion among the crowd below. However, most people ridiculed Xiao Yan's words. Although this young man was quite strong, it did not mean that/that he had the qualifications to challenge an alchemist like Grandmaster Zeng Xiu …
Being one of the parties involved, Zeng Xiu was shocked as well. However, a cold smile flashed across his wrinkled face. He looked at Xiao Yan and said, ” Maybe the old me might really not be able to compete with you in terms of Dou Qi, but in terms of alchemist skills … I'll say something you probably don't want to hear. You don't have the qualifications! ’’
Xiao Yan ignored Zeng Xiu's cold laughter. His eyes turned to Elder Chi Huo as he smiled and said, ” Can I know how we will compete? Should we refine the medicinal pill on the spot? ’
’’ No need such problem. The old me didn't have much time to waste with you. ” Zeng Xiu replied instead. He coldly laughed and said, ” Since you are also an alchemist, you should also be aware of the importance of one's Spiritual Strength. In that case, we have to compete in terms of Spiritual Strength! Since you are from a younger generation, the old me will let you attack first. As long as you can force me back with your Spiritual Strength, it will be considered your victory! ’
One could not blame Zeng Xiu for this arrogance. The biggest gap between an alchemist and an ordinary Dou Practitioner was their Spiritual Strength. The Spiritual Strength of a tier 6 alchemist was comparable to an expert Dou Zong!
Xiao Yan was initially stunned when he heard Zeng Xiu's words. His expression quickly became a little strange. Competing Spiritual Strength?
Zeng Xiu waved his sleeve and stood with his hands behind him after speaking. His eyes glanced at Xiao Yan indifferently. The conduct of a grandmaster was fully displayed.
”Start.”
Xiao Yan slightly widened his mouth. Soon, it turns into a soft (sensor). He slowly raised his hand in front of countless gazes. After which, he gently swept her over from a distance.
When his hand was swung, a huge and majestic Spiritual Strength immediately swept out from the sky like a storm.
The expression of the calm-faced Elder Chi Huo changed drastically at this moment.
The indifferent expression of Zeng Xiu also paled directly .. If you find any errors (broken links, non-standard content, etc.), Please let us know so that we can fix them as soon as possible.
