Reaching the pinnacle from Doupo

Chapter 437 Zi Yan's practice, the remaining picture
Under the magma sea, in front of the ancient emperor’s cave.

Lin Yuan, Zi Yan, and Zhu Kun worked on intelligence simultaneously, and with the end of this "family dinner", it was basically completed.

Zhu Kun also has the necessary understanding of the current basic situation of the outside world.

At this moment, Zi Yan stood proudly in the void, with an extremely noble aura lingering around her body. The purple-gold phoenix wings, which were several feet long, flapped gently behind her. As the wings flapped, there was a faint sound of wind and thunder, which was breathtaking.

Zi Yan clenched her fists excitedly, lowered her eyes from midair, and said loudly: "Old man, come and have a good fight with me! Be my punching bag..."

In the past, sparring with Qinglin, Xiao Yixian, and Medusa was her favorite entertainment activity.

But after advancing to the five-star Dou Sheng, she had to stop her hobby of sparring with others - she didn't dare to look for others to spar with, for fear that she would accidentally fail to control her strength and beat others to death.

Although fighting in the game world is very exciting, it is still a fantasy world after all, and it lacks realism. The device is still being improved.

Now that we have the top-notch “sandbags” in the real world, we naturally have to have a few good fights.

"The body of an ancient dragon... the wings of a heavenly phoenix, the supreme dragon phoenix!" Looking at the purple-gold wings behind Zi Yan, Zhu Kun laughed heartily: "Haha, my son is so lucky!"

"Senior, thank you for your trouble!" Lin Yuan bowed and said in a deep voice.

"Humph, I am Zi Yan's father, and I will be the best person to her!" Upon hearing Lin Yuan's request, Zhu Kun's face suddenly darkened. He glared at Lin Yuan and said viciously, "Do I need you to ask me for something good for her?"

But when his gaze turned to Zi Yan, Zhu Kun became gentle and cheerful like a chameleon: "Okay, my dear daughter! Your father will fight with you for a few moves!"

Before he finished speaking, he took a step forward and flashed in front of Zi Yan.

"Zi Yan, don't worry about your father. Go all out! This way, your father can find out your weaknesses and make a suitable training plan for you later..."

When it comes to business, Zhu Kun's tone becomes a little more serious.

For parents in Douqi Continent, the best way most of them can think of to help their children is to try to enhance their strength.

“Take that—”

With a delicate cry, Zi Yan flapped her wings, and a low sound of breaking wind was heard amid the surge of wind and thunder.

Her figure rushed towards Zhu Kun at a speed invisible to the naked eye, as if teleporting, and appeared behind Zhu Kun almost in an instant.

Zi Yan suddenly clenched her fist, and purple-gold energy condensed on it, and slammed it hard at Zhu Kun's head.

"Haha, good time!"

Facing Zi Yan's fierce attack, Zhu Kun laughed out loud.

He stood calmly in the air, and when Zi Ziyan's attack was about to hit him, he stretched out his right hand like lightning and accurately took Zi Yan's fierce fist.

"boom--"

When their fists and palms collided, violent energy ripples spread out like a surging wave, madly spreading in all directions with the two of them as the center.

Under the impact of this terrifying force, the space actually began to distort slightly.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan quickly moved and flashed into a pre-arranged barrier, only then did he calm down and continue watching the battle.

The barrier set up by Zhu Kun is almost indestructible and can block the attacks of high-level Douluo.

On the other side, Zi Yan felt a strong force coming at her from the fist, which made her arm numb and her body involuntarily took several steps back.

"Old man, you are very strong!"

She suddenly spread her phoenix wings, steadied her body, looked at Zhu Kun in surprise, and muttered.

Hearing this, Zhu Kun laughed out loud, his laughter full of joy: "Haha, my dear daughter, this is just the beginning! Without this ability, how can I be qualified to be your father..."

Zi Yan gritted her teeth, her eyes lit with fighting spirit, and she shouted, "Come again!"

Before she finished her words, Zi Yan flapped her purple-gold phoenix wings again, and her body suddenly turned into a stream of purple-gold light, and disappeared from the spot in an instant; Zhu Kun stomped hard on the void, and his body also turned into a purple light dragon, and rushed towards the purple-gold light.

The two men fought again. For a moment, the square in front of the ancient emperor's cave was shining with light, and the sounds of dragons roaring and phoenixes singing were heard everywhere.

The ferocious energy and strength resounded, turning the area around the battle circle into a desperate situation.

Zhu Kun gradually increased his strength and at the same time carefully instructed Zi Yan: "Zi Yan, although you are very fast, your attacks are too direct and lack variety. When facing a strong opponent, it is easy for the opponent to catch your flaws."

"Remember, the speed of the phoenix wings and the power of the dragon body, the combination of the two, plus the powerful dragon-phoenix bloodline, will give you the upper hand in battle."

"Your speed can advance or retreat, and your strength has the power to surpass your level."

"And what you need to learn next is to overcome your instincts."

"You must learn to get rid of your reliance on speed and strength, and use your advantages more flexibly and tactically! Only in this way can you give full play to your advantages and win in battles of the same level or in battles of higher levels..."

Hearing this, Zi Yan's heart moved. Recalling the training in the illusion, she began to try not to be so straightforward.

Feeling the change in her movements, Zhu Kun couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

As time went by and the sparring progressed, Zi Yan's attacks became more fierce, and her movements became more natural - her improvement was so fast that it was almost visible to the naked eye!
This battle, or rather teaching, lasted for a long, long time.

In the square in front of the Ancient Emperor's Cave, two figures stood side by side.

Not far in front of the two of them, a silver "cocoon" about ten feet in size stood quietly. Zi Yan was sleeping inside it with an excited smile on her lips, as if she was experiencing something interesting in her dream.

A beam of silver light shot out from the "giant cocoon", projecting an interesting picture in the void.

In the picture, Zi Yan was fighting fiercely with "Hunxuzi". As their fighting spirits collided, the space was shattered and the avenue was erased. The scene was extremely shocking.

"In short, this is how to make and adjust the 'Game Crystal'!"

Lin Yuan withdrew his gaze from the picture in the void, glanced at the crystal in his hand, and after a moment of thought, handed it to Zhu Kun, "Uncle, I'll trouble you to make the 'game crystal' that Zi Yan will use for combat training in the future..."

"Whether it's soul power or the number of opponents you've fought, you're far superior to me. You should be able to create an illusion that's closer to actual combat!"

"I'll trouble you to continue improving this 'immersive simulation training device'..."

He took out a storage ring and handed it to Zhu Kun, saying in a deep voice: "There are many materials in this storage ring, which should be useful when modifying the device!" "Leave it to me!" Zhu Kun took the crystal and the storage ring, and sighed softly: "Your strength is not that good, but you are really smart! Using casting and illusion in this way... It's really ingenious, and it makes me a little enlightened!"

With Zhu Kun's vision, he naturally understood the potential of this device and its practical significance to Zi Yan.

With the help of this device, it won’t take long for him to solve Zi Yan’s biggest shortcoming - lack of combat experience!
Once his daughter has gained enough combat experience and completed the rest of the Dragon Emperor's inheritance, she will be able to fully master her own strength. Combined with her extremely powerful dragon-phoenix body, she will definitely be an absolute powerhouse among her peers.

Even in the Holy Realm, where every star is a chasm, it is not impossible for her to overcome the enemy's level!

After imagining for a moment, she shifted her gaze slightly and looked at the calm young man in front of her with admiration. She couldn't help but nod secretly in her heart - his wisdom, talent, and ability were all top-notch, and he really lived up to the title of Zhongzhou's number one genius, and was worthy of his own daughter.

After spending a few days together, Zhu Kun unknowingly began to accept and accept Lin Yuan as his son-in-law little by little in his heart.

Because of this, Lin Yuan's way of addressing Zhu Kun changed from "senior" to the more intimate "uncle".

Of course, let’s not call him “father-in-law” for now.

"Oh, right," Lin Yuan frowned as if he remembered something, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you need me to inform the elders of Donglong Island about the news that my uncle is trapped in the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion?"

"Forget it. My news must be kept secret from the outside world."

Zhu Kun waved his hand, glanced at Zi Yan, and said seriously: "The matter of the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion is of great importance. The fewer people who know about it, the better, even if it is Zi Yan's and my clansmen..."

The fact that the ancient dragon clan was split made him more vigilant.

"Besides," Zhu Kun paused for a moment and added, "With Zi Yan's current strength, she is already strong enough to unify the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, and she doesn't need my help! If my existence is exposed, it will weaken her prestige as the Dragon King!"

"I am an old dragon from the old era, and she is the Dragon King of the new era... and the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan also needs a new Dragon King!"

As he spoke later, there was a hint of loneliness in his calm voice.

Thousands of years have passed, and most of the past friends and enemies have passed away in time. Even if one can escape from the ancient emperor's cave, there will probably be few people he recognizes.

Apart from those spiritual creatures of heaven and earth, Dragon Emperor Zhu Kun is the oldest life in the Douqi Continent.

During the era when he dominated the continent, there were far more than eight Dou Di clans. The two strongest Hun Gu clans today were not considered to be very powerful clans at that time.

"Oh! I understand. Zi Yan and I will keep this matter a secret!" Lin Yuan nodded in agreement.

Then, as if he had thought of something, he slowly lowered his head and fell into a brief silence. His deep eyes were emitting a flickering brilliance at this moment, as if he was thinking about something or hesitating about something.

At a certain moment, the scattered rays of light in his eyes finally converged into one, and he made the final decision in his heart.

With Zhu Kun protecting me by my side, it would be a shame not to try such a great opportunity. It's time... to do something I've been thinking about for a long time.

Lin Yuan no longer hesitated after making up his mind. He turned to look at the old Dragon King beside him and said solemnly, "Uncle, I need your assistance with something! It involves a peak warrior, and only you can help me accomplish it..."

"It's related to a peak powerhouse?! Interesting!" A strange color flashed in Zhu Kun's eyes, and he said with interest: "Tell me, Lin boy, what's the matter?"

"Uncle, please look!" Lin Yuan snapped his fingers steadily, and three yellowed ancient maps flashed out from the Dark Sea Ring and hovered in front of the two of them.

"These fragments of pictures are what I have collected over the years!"

"According to my investigation, these three fragments of the map were left by the Pure Lotus Demon Saint ten thousand years ago."

"Over the years, I have been trying to explore the secrets of this incomplete map, but I have never succeeded. Each of the three incomplete maps contains a special spiritual power. Even with my spiritual cultivation of the Half-Step Heaven Realm, I am completely unable to see through it!"

After a pause, his eyes showed a little more expectation: "Uncle's soul cultivation has reached the emperor level. Can he see through the secrets of these three fragments of the map?"

As for Zhu Kun, his expression had completely changed from relaxed to solemn.

"Pure Lotus Demon Saint!"

His eyes were solemn, his golden pupils staring at the three fragments of the pictures in front of him, and he repeated the name word by word.

Zhu Kun was not completely ignorant of the Pure Lotus Demon Saint.

Although he was not a contemporary of the Pure Lotus Demon Saint, as a living fossil of the Dou Qi Continent, he was older than Lin Yuan had expected. The era in which he was born was not too far away from the era when the Pure Lotus Demon Saint dominated the continent.

The Pure Lotus Demon Saint was extremely famous ten thousand years ago, and among all the top warriors of that era, he was also recognized as the strongest who was closest to the Dou Emperor.

It can be said that the Pure Lotus Demon Saint is the footnote of that millennium.

Zhu Kun has always been fond of exploring the continent. Naturally, he had heard of this famous and powerful man, and even inquired about the deeds of the Pure Lotus Demon Saint.

He would naturally pay corresponding attention to the means left behind by such a powerful person.

Without any hesitation, Zhu Kun suddenly clenched his palms, and the space instantly twisted, turning into a spatial cage that wrapped the three incomplete pictures. Purple energy lingered on it, and as it flowed, it exuded an indestructible and strange texture.

After completing the preliminary preparations, he walked into the space cage with a hint of excitement in his eyes - such an interesting thing must be studied carefully.

With just a glance, Zhu Kun could confirm that these three incomplete pictures did contain some important secrets.

"Interesting, you're not coming out? Then please forgive me for being rude!"

After the initial exploration, Zhu Kun narrowed his eyes slightly, and then, a soul power as if he was the master of heaven and earth slowly flowed out from between his eyebrows, and then spread to and eroded the three incomplete pictures floating in front of him.

The moment they came into contact, the three incomplete pictures trembled slightly, and their qi connected together. A mysterious soul fluctuation spread from the three incomplete pictures.

Afterwards, a milky white mist escaped from the damaged picture and enveloped it.

"Nightmare Sky Mist?!"

Seeing this, Zhu Kun smiled even more and chuckled, "Friends inside, please show yourself! Although this move is ingenious, it is absolutely impossible for you to stop me with only a few remaining souls..."

Before he finished speaking, his eyes flashed, and the vast soul power of the emperor realm surged out, instantly covering this blocked space.

However, Zhu Kun did not try to break through the milky white mist, but just watched quietly.

At a certain moment, a faint sigh suddenly came from the milky white mist, "God does not always fulfill our wishes. This backup plan eventually went wrong..."
