Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 267 Nine-Star Dou Wang?

Looking at the few strands of Dou Qi in his dantian that were so weak that they were almost dissipating, Xiao Yan's mind suddenly buzzed.

Dou Jing is gone!

After three years of hard training, I finally broke through the cyclone and condensed the fighting spirit into crystal, and it was gone just like that?!
Although he had been prepared to pay a huge price long before using a series of secret techniques, when this price was actually reflected, Xiao Yan still found it a little difficult to accept.

"Now, I'm afraid I won't even be able to pass the test at Canaan College."

With a bitter smile, Xiao Yan looked at his skin which was still covered with fine cracks, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He didn't feel any regret.

Even if he had a second chance to choose, Xiao Yan would still choose to kill his enemy with his own hands without any hesitation.

He accepted it calmly, whether he was being arrogant or boastful. He only wished to kill the culprit who kidnapped his father with his own hands.

Great revenge is achieved, and the mind is enlightened.

After all, if he lost his Dou Jing, he could just practice again. But if his father was really kidnapped, the consequences would be far more difficult for him to accept than losing all his Dou Qi.
"In order to save her father, Ruoruo must have paid a lot, right?"

Recalling the awkward look of the girl who had tilted her head and hugged her chest, and told him stiffly, "Don't look so gloomy, I saved your father," Xiao Yan's eyes softened, and his heart was filled with joy.

That slightly awkward thoughtfulness and concern made him feel more lingering and obsessed than any other vows.

I don't have as much elixirs as her, I don't have as much money as her, and I don't have as much strange fire as her.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan sat back with some difficulty, then leaned his center of gravity on the wooden board at the head of the bed and began to think about a solution.

The reason why he found it difficult to accept the disappearance of Dou Jing was not because he was unwilling to bear the price, but because the day of going to Canaan Academy was just around the corner.

Back when they were in Wutan City, Xiao Yan had given Ruoruo the spot for the 'special enrollment', with the intention of allowing her to have a relatively easy life, free from the interference of intrigues and deceptions.

But now, before I could fulfill my promise, I fell behind.

You know, if his cultivation level doesn't meet the standards, even if his physical strength is strong, I'm afraid Canaan College will not easily accept him as a student who has been absent for two years.
After all, even if he wanted to learn something like body training, there probably wouldn't be anyone in Canaan Academy who could teach him.

"It looks like there's only less than a month left until the start of the third year, right?"

Xiao Yan sighed bitterly, "To go from zero to a nine-star fighter in just one month is simply too much."

Fighter Nine Stars is the minimum standard for Canaan Academy to select students. If the cultivation level is lower than this, the training at Canaan Academy will be terminated early after the end of the school year, which is basically the same as being expelled.

Xiao Yan could never have imagined that this title of being the last in the class might one day come back to his head again.

"Hehe, little guy, it looks like you might need some help."

Just as Xiao Yan was frowning, the familiar old man's strange laughter sounded, causing the young man to tremble all over. He couldn't help but say in surprise:
"Teacher, you didn't fall into a deep sleep?"

Xiao Yan's surprised expression almost had 'How could you be eavesdropping here' written all over his face, which immediately caused Yao Lao to raise his eyebrows and said in a playful tone:
"Alas, Ruoruo must have paid a lot to save her father, right?"

"You old man!"

Xiao Yan's face flushed, and he suddenly recalled the scene when he first met the girl.

If he remembered correctly, the unscrupulous old man must have woken up long ago, and would naturally have peeked at Ruoruo imitating his speech!
"Hehe, after all, your master has taken something that can repair his soul. Although the effect of the Seven Illusions Green Spirit Saliva is only moderate, for a soul in the Heavenly Realm, even the slightest bit of recovery is a huge improvement. Naturally, he won't fall into a deep sleep so easily anymore."

Seeing that Xiao Yan's face was no longer gloomy, Yao Lao felt relieved and said with a chuckle:
"Let's not talk about that for now. You're really good. You dared to hug her in front of everyone. Not bad, you have a way!"

Others might not be aware of the ins and outs of this, but Yao Lao, who knew the relationship between the two very well, almost dropped his jaw after seeing Xiao Yan's bold move.

This guy is really brave when encountering problems!
Compared to killing a Dou Wang-level warrior with a Dou Ling body, Yao Lao was certain that the difficulty of this matter was far greater, even to a degree that he had never imagined.
"Uh, I was too excited at that time and couldn't help myself?" Xiao Yan touched his nose and felt uncomfortable all over. He was so embarrassed that he almost wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

"What's the point of making excuses?"

Yao Lao stroked his beard and said in amazement, "The girl didn't resist. At first, she even hugged you back. If you hadn't hugged her for too long, I guess she wouldn't even turn her face—"

"what?!"

Xiao Yan's eyes widened, surprise mixed with excitement made him almost jump out of the bed.

"Teacher said that Ruoruo took the initiative to hug me?"

It was indeed true that Xiao Yan couldn't help but hug the other person before. In his extreme sorrow and joy, even his consciousness became extremely blurred, and naturally he didn't notice the girl's gentle actions.

Seeing Xiao Yan's startled expression, Yao Lao immediately said with a look of dismay:

"You little brat, that's just the beginning. The reason the girl took the initiative to hug you is mostly out of recognition and encouragement. If she was really moved, why would she be so angry as to throw you to the ground?"

At this point, Yao Lao paused and said, "Tsk tsk, the girl has been taking good care of you these past few days, helping you recover from your injuries, but she never wants to stay here for long. I think she's deliberately avoiding you, right?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yan subconsciously touched his throat. The cool and comfortable feeling was exactly the same as when he absorbed the strange fire and fell into meditation. It was obviously the work of the girl.

"Ruoruo."

Xiao Yan's thoughts raced, and he couldn't make up his mind. He could only smile bitterly and said, "Since she was deliberately avoiding me, why did she come all the way to take care of me? This, this doesn't make sense."

"Does avoiding you mean she dislikes you?" Yao Lao rolled his eyes. "You're really too stubborn, aren't you? According to you, the girl's previous concern for you means she has a secret crush on you, right?"

"But even if she doesn't dislike me, I can't do anything about her if she keeps avoiding me like this. I can't even say a word to her."

"Stupid, if that's the case, why not take the girl to a place where we have to see each other every day?"

"Teacher, do you mean Canaan Academy?"

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then said helplessly, "Now that I have no Dou Jing left, my cultivation has returned to its starting point. I'm afraid I won't even be able to pass the Canaan Academy enrollment, let alone take the assessment."

"Just because your Dou Jing is gone doesn't mean your Dou Qi is gone. If you had truly regressed to a level inferior to that of a Dou Zhe, the Burning Technique would have released the strange fire in your body long ago. How could you still be so calm?"

Yao Lao's words caught Xiao Yan off guard: "Teacher, are you saying that my realm hasn't fallen?"

"good."

Yao Lao nodded and said seriously, "The Dou Jing was shattered and condensed into the body. This is not a bad thing at all. On the contrary, it can be called a great opportunity for you."

"You now can perhaps be called the Nine-Star Fighting King!"

The words seemed to fall from the sky, making Xiao Yan's head dizzy and he could hardly believe his ears.

"Nine-Nine Star King?!"

"good."

Yao Lao's words, which sounded quite provocative, came out slowly when Xiao Yan was extremely excited.

"But unfortunately, it's not positive, it's negative."
