Eternal madness

Chapter 226 The King Who Saved the Day
Outside Wutan City,

A boy carrying a huge iron ruler stands on a thick tree, looking at the bustling city where he grew up.

"Sigh~ I'll have to leave eventually, it's really hard to say goodbye," Xiao Yan sighed.

"Little Yanzi, remember this: your path to becoming a strong person is destined to be lonely. This path is long and difficult, and once you embark on it, it will be hard to turn back," Yao Lao said calmly.

"I understand, teacher. Where are we going next?" Xiao Yan asked.

Yao Lao: "Our destination is the Tagor Desert, which requires crossing the Monster Mountain Range. I've looked at the map. You should go to Qingshan Town first, as it's the closest point to the Monster Mountain Range. You need to go there to hone your skills and reach at least a three or four-star Dou Shi level. Then, while you're at it, go find a fifth-tier monster core!"

"Qingshan Town? Okay, I'm here in Qingshan Town! Wait! What did you just say, old man?! Cross the Monster Mountain Range? Am I stupid or are you stupid? I'm only a nine-star Dou Zhe, you want me to feed the monsters?!" Xiao Yan belatedly realized what was happening and then shouted.

"It's in dangerous places that potential is unleashed. I plan to have you advance to the rank of Battle Master in the Magical Beast Mountain Range. Since we're going to look for magic cores anyway, why not take a trip along the way?"

"On the way? Oh well, what can I do? You're my teacher, after all. You can't possibly harm me, right? By the way, teacher, what about the Earth-rank fighting technique you mentioned last time? When are you going to pass it on to your disciple?" Xiao Yan said with a grin.

"Hey, you brat! Isn't the Eight Extremes Collapse enough for you? You haven't even mastered the Eight Extremes Collapse yet, and you still want more? Aren't the Absorbing Palm and the Blowing Fire Palm enough for you?" Old Yao said, blowing his beard and glaring.

"Who would complain about having too few combat techniques? Besides, this is a low-level combat technique; apart from my family, only a handful of forces in the entire Jia Ma Empire possess it. Furthermore, for a disciple of the Medicine Venerable to not even be able to afford a low-level combat technique, isn't that a disgrace to you, Medicine Venerable? Hehe~"

Xiao Yan rubbed his hands together.

"Hey you brat! Trying to provoke me, huh? Fine, when we get to the Monster Mountain Range, I'll teach you a fighting technique that's perfect for pairing with your Xuan Heavy Ruler. If you use it well, its power will be considerable!"

"Alright, thank you, teacher! But should I still be whipped for this Earth-rank combat skill?"

The old doctor chuckled and said, "What? You've gotten addicted to smoking, kid? I'll grant your wish."

"Don't don't!"

in the void,
"The Monster Mountain Range, Green Mountain Town? Little Fairy Doctor? Oh dear~ I wonder if we can meet again, and if they still have such a connection? If Little Fairy Doctor is still willing to risk her life for Xiao Yan, then Xiao Yan, if you don't accept her, I'll break your third leg!"

. . . . . .

"Huh!" Xiao Yan suddenly felt a chill in his lower body and jumped up in surprise.

"What's wrong, Xiao Yanzi? Why are you touching me there? Are you thinking about your fiancée? Or that lover? Or both of them? Young people know what they're doing! Hehe~" Yao Lao teased.

"Irregular old man!"

. . . . . .

Qingshan Town
Xiao Yan carried the Xuanzhong Ruler on his back, had a blade of grass in his mouth, and held his head up with both hands, looking up at the sky.

"The sun shines brightly, the flowers smile at me~ The little birds say good morning! They ask me why I'm carrying the Xuanzhong Ruler, 'Young master wants to...'"

"Stop, stop, stop! What kind of crap are you singing? It was okay at the beginning, but it went wrong at the end!" Yao Lao quickly interrupted Xiao Yan.

"Isn't it just that I'm in the mood? Hehe." Xiao Yan said with a grin.

"Help!!!"

Suddenly a loud voice came from behind, and upon closer listening, it was found to be a woman's voice.

"Hmm? What's that noise? Let's go check it out!" Xiao Yan was immediately attracted by the sound and ran over with the Xuan Heavy Ruler on his shoulder.

Xiao Yan ran for a few hundred meters and saw several burly men with fierce faces blocking a girl in a white dress. Although the girl's appearance was not stunning, she was still a rare beauty. Her serene smile exuded a fresh and ethereal temperament.

The most eye-catching feature of the girl was her slender waist, bound by a green ribbon. Gazing at that waist, so small it could be encircled with one's hand, was captivating.

At this moment, the girl was blocked by several burly men and leaned against the tree trunk with a look of fear on her face.

"Hehe, Little Fairy Doctor, why don't you submit to me and become my wife? I certainly won't mistreat you, provided you serve me well!" the burly man at the head of the group chuckled. "No!" Little Fairy Doctor said stubbornly, her right hand clenched tightly as if she were holding onto something.

"Brother, why waste your breath on her! Let's try something new first!" A burly man reached out to put his hand on Little Fairy Doctor's shoulder!
"Baji collapse!"

Suddenly, a figure rushed over and punched the burly man directly.

Peng——

The tall, burly man was actually knocked away, flying more than ten meters, and lay on the ground, his life hanging in the balance.

"How could such filth occur in broad daylight? This young master will not stand idly by and draw his sword to help those in need!" Xiao Yan made what he considered a very cool entrance.

"You dare offend our Fierce Tiger Gang, you little brat! You're asking for death!" The burly leader brandished his knife and slashed.

Xiao Yan drew the Xuanzhong Ruler from his back and slashed it horizontally at the burly man.

Dang clang——

Although Xiao Yan looks very thin, he is incredibly strong. He has been carefully trained by Xiao Li since childhood, and Xiao Yan has been provided with things like the One Beginning Pill and the bone marrow of a Dou Sheng.

Afterwards, Yao Lao personally taught Xiao Yan. Even Yao Lao was amazed that Xiao Yan's physique far surpassed that of the geniuses of Zhongzhou. With just his physical strength, he could beat up several mediocre Dou Zhe.

"What strength! Come help me!" The burly man at the head of the group felt his arm go numb and his hand split open, and immediately called for help.

How could Xiao Yan give them a chance? These burly men looked intimidating, but in reality, only the leader was a Dou Zhe, while the rest were just guys around the eighth or ninth level of Dou Qi. They were nothing but paper tigers.

Xiao Yan quickly dealt with that group of people.

Xiao Yan put the Xuan Heavy Ruler back on his back and looked at the girl leaning against the tree.

"Are you alright?" As Xiao Yan approached the girl, her body seemed to react, and she waved her right hand, scattering a lot of medicinal powder!
Xiao Yan was hit squarely by the powder and immediately felt dizzy.

"This is... a drug..." Xiao Yan collapsed to the ground.

"Ah! I'm sorry!" The girl then realized she had done something wrong, but it was too late!

The girl was slumped on the ground. After an unknown amount of time, she seemed to hear some other noise. Her heart skipped a beat, so she pulled Xiao Yan up, carried him on her back, and led him away from the place.

At this moment, the Xuanzhong Ruler on Xiao Yan's back inexplicably disappeared, making Xiao Yixian feel much lighter.

Ten minutes later,

"Huh? Where is Little Fairy Doctor? I was just about to play the hero and save the beauty. Where is she? Who told me that Little Fairy Doctor would be here?" The leader was a rather handsome young man holding a long spear.

"Young Commander Mu Li, I don't know either. Little Fairy Doctor should be here!"

"Find it for me!"

"Yes!"

A large group of people set off to search for the person with great fanfare, but unfortunately, they were destined not to find him.

in the void,
"Tsk, such good luck? How come this guy always does things at the perfect time? He's been completely smitten by a little girl. Hehe, I'll record this for later fun. Hehe, this guy really has a way with women."

But you're bound to have plenty of chaotic situations in the future, hehe, I really want to see them!

Xiao Li covered his mouth and chuckled, then accepted a recording stone.

　Just to clarify, Xiao Li himself is a Yan Xian shipper. He's a real person, and naturally he has his own favorite pairings when reading Battle Through the Heavens, so please understand. As for the author himself, he's an Xiao Yan Yao shipper, hehehe, or to be even more abstract, a Yan Chi shipper!
