"Combine!" The two elders, Gold and Silver, spoke while simultaneously forming hand seals, merging their Battle Qi into one.
Old Man Gold continued to raise his hand and thrust his palm outward. The spiritual energy gathered from heaven and earth shook the space.
A giant hand dozens of feet in size swung down towards Yun Yun, its terrifying crimson aura compressing the surrounding world.
"Battle Master!"
Yun Yun swung her sword, unleashing the extreme meteor wind, releasing countless sword qi that mercilessly attacked the giant palm. However, all her attacks were ruthlessly shattered. She quickly realized that the Gold and Silver Elders were using a secret technique to elevate their power to a level comparable to Dou Ancestor, which she couldn't easily withstand.
In Xiao Ting's Journal, it was mentioned that under the joint governance of the Gold and Silver Elders, even Su Qian, a 3-star Dou Ancestor, could be suppressed for a considerable period.
"This naughty kid, instead of helping me, you're just watching the show."
Yun Yun narrowed her eyes and prepared to use a secret technique to temporarily amplify her power, intending to unleash the intermediate Earth-level battle skill inherited from Yun Po Tian — her ultimate move.
However, before she could move, a hand was placed on her waist. "Yun Er, how did you end up in this situation?"
"You finally made your move!" Yun Yun let out a sigh of relief, then said irritably, "It's because someone has been watching this scene the whole time."
"Did you know I arrived a long time ago?" Xiao Ting asked with a slightly surprised expression.
"I don't know, it was just a guess." Yun Yun raised her head to look at the man's face. He looked much more mature and handsome than three months ago. A smile appeared in her eyes. "It's not like you were in seclusion for so long that I couldn't contact you. When I was attacked after auctioning the 6th-grade spiritual medicine, you happened to come out of seclusion and save me, right?"
"It was really a coincidence. Doesn't this mean we're connected by fate? Don't you think so?" Xiao Ting raised one eyebrow.
Yun Yun glanced at the Journal.
…
[After three months of seclusion, under the pressure of the Purple Beast Flame, the Fallen Heart Flame behaved very well and fully supported my training. My cultivation has reached the peak of the Dou King realm. Breaking through isn't easy, but it's not difficult for me. After coming out of seclusion, I asked Yao Lao to refine the Zong Breaking Pill, and then returned to the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower to break through. After breaking through, I plan to sneak in and seize the opportunity.]
[Thanks to the Fallen Heart Flame and the lightning tempering brought by the Plane's Blessing, I have fully cultivated the first stage of the Thunder-Flame Body Tempering Art. Now my physical body is comparable to a 7th-rank magical beast, at least stronger than an ordinary Dou Ancestor's body. If I have time, I should test it with Cai Lin.]
Cai Lin: It's better to just test physical strength. Don't think about other things. It's impossible for one person to handle alone.
[This also confirms my suspicion that the Plane's Blessing occasionally grants me the ability to cultivate the Thunder-Flame Body Tempering Art. Even without the help of the Ye family's Sun Fire Ancient Altar, I can cultivate it to the second, third, and even fourth and fifth stages. At that time, my body will be able to suppress all Dou Saint.]
Ye Xin Lan: Actually, you can use the Sun Fire Ancient Altar.
[But what I need to improve isn't just the Thunder-Flame Body Tempering Art, but also my cultivation level, soul power, various battle skills and secret techniques, soul battle skills, alchemy, and so on. I will find a way to improve the Thunder-Flame Body Tempering Art and do my best not to miss the opportunity of the Plane's Blessing. I still need to go to the Sun Fire Ancient Altar.]
Ye Xin Lan: That's right. This is the escape route for the Ye family.
[Not only the body, but the soul has also reached the Spirit Realm level. By settling the soul in the body and staying for a long time, it becomes possible to infuse spiritual power into Pills and refine them into 8th-grade Pills. Now that I have obtained the most important factor for refining 8th-grade Pills, reaching the 8th grade within a year shouldn't be difficult.]
Cao Ying: Terrifying! No wonder you're my master.
Yao Ling: Actually, I can also become a disciple.
[In today's Plane's Blessing, I obtained some information. Yun Yun put up for auction the Soul Purification Trinity Flower, the highest quality 6th-grade spiritual ingredient essential for refining the Soul Purification Pill. On her way back to Jia Nan Academy, she will be stopped by the Gold and Silver Elders, who know that Han Feng is looking for this spiritual ingredient.]
[In the end, Yun Yun used a secret technique to injure the Gold and Silver Elders and dragged her heavily injured body back to Jia Nan Academy.]
[I can't let my maid be bullied. I have to go help her immediately.]
Yun Yun: What perfect timing! That means he appears at the last moment.
That's really... sly!
"It was really great that you showed up at the critical moment." Yun Yun signaled for him to start the performance. "Come on, start the battle."
Yun Yun had become mischievous, but Xiao Ting didn't mind.
This was exactly what his appearance was turning into.
"Condense!"
Xiao Ting didn't even raise his head, simply raising his hand and clenching it toward the sky.
The Purple Beast Flame appeared and transformed into a barrier.
Boom!
The giant palm strike from the two elders Gold and Silver was firmly blocked by this barrier.
"Comparable to Dou Ancestor, but nothing special."
Xiao Ting looked up at the two elders Gold and Silver, slightly narrowing his eyes.
Hearing this, the faces of the two elders Gold and Silver immediately darkened, feeling deep humiliation.
"A mere Dou King, even with a trump card, how dare you look down on us!"
Xiao Ting chuckled lightly and quickly formed hand seals with both hands. The battle qi instantly began to gather.
Supported by the surging spiritual power, the Thunder Flame Cauldron flew out, instantly devouring the energy of heaven and earth. Dark clouds gathered in the sky, covering a range of dozens of miles.
"What's going on!?"
Many practitioners at the Dou King, Dou Emperor, and Dou Ancestor levels could clearly feel the changes in the heaven and earth energy and sensed a connection.
In the nearby Jia Nan Academy, Hu Qian, Wu Hao, Su Qian, and others immediately jumped up and shouted, "This feeling is... Xiao Ting!?"
More than two months ago, when Xiao Ting broke through the soul domain under the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, it also caused changes in the world.
At that time, countless people were discussing and speculating about Xiao Ting's actions. Only a very few knew that his soul realm had reached the Spirit Realm and that his soul battle power was comparable to Dou Ancestor.
The current situation was similar to the past, and the violent changes in thunder and fire energy felt very familiar.
"Who attacked him?"
Su Qian and the others immediately set off.
They couldn't just stand by and watch the alchemy elder invited to Jia Nan Academy get into trouble.
That's right. After breaking through the soul domain, Xiao Ting was invited by Su Qian to become a guest elder of the Alchemy Department.
After all, anyone with even a little knowledge of alchemy knows that the prerequisite for refining Pills at the 8th grade level is having a spirit soul.
In other words, Xiao Ting is an alchemist who will reach the 8th grade in the future, so it's only natural to win him over as an ally as soon as possible.
Besides Su Qian and other Jia Nan Academy personnel, other powerful figures on Jia Nan Academy's enemy also began to move, wanting to witness a spectacular scene.
"Heavenly Thunder Summon!"
However, Xiao Ting unhesitatingly activated his soul skill.
The low-level Earth-grade soul skill released by a Spirit Realm spirit is much more powerful than the low-level Earth-grade battle skill released by an ordinary Dou Ancestor.
Boom!
Countless lightning bolts gathered, moved around, and locked onto the two elders, preventing them from making any rash movements.
"How is this possible!?"
The elders Gold and Silver couldn't believe it.
A Dou King expert was able to unleash a battle skill even more powerful than their combined strongest ultimate moves.
Where did this monster come from?!
