"Get beaten up?" Xiao Yan turned his head in confusion.
"He went to see his girlfriend," the old doctor said with a smile.
Xiao Yan immediately thought of Xun'er's innocent face, and his body trembled violently.
This was his sister-in-law, who always had a smile on her face but was known for her ruthless beatings; he couldn't afford to offend her.
"Now that my cousin is back, how can little cousin Xun'er still be so arrogant?" Xiao Yan rubbed his nose.
The old doctor subtly pursed his lips.
You speak so confidently, why don't you take a couple more steps forward?
"Teacher, do you know what realm my cousin is at now?" Xiao Yan's eyes flashed.
When Zhang Yuan returned to the Xiao family half a year ago, he broke through to the Great Dou Master level. When he left, he was a four-star Great Dou Master, so he has probably become a seven-star Great Dou Master in just one year. (Xiao Zhan hasn't been able to advance even one star in several years, and Xiao Yanzi's vision is still a bit lacking.)
He can't compare, but he can still get some praise for his progress over the past year, so he can show off a little.
"I know," the old doctor said admiringly, "Two-star Douling."
"So it's a mist grass, a two-star Dou Ling!?" Xiao Yan's eyes widened.
I went from the third stage of Dou Qi to a one-star Dou Zhe, while my cousin went from a four-star Great Dou Shi to a two-star Dou Ling.
The minor realms they advanced to were "exactly the same," "evenly matched," and "indistinguishable."
What a ghost!
"Teacher, is this rate of improvement normal?" Xiao Yan swallowed hard.
Zhang Yuan's rapid promotion made everyone in Wutan City seem like a waste.
No, it's that everyone in the Gama Empire is useless!
"It's not that abnormal." Yao Lao glanced at Xiao Yan and said calmly, "If he were in the Central Plains, where the concentration of Dou Qi is higher, there are more advanced cultivation techniques and Dou skills, and there are more resources, famous teachers, and rare treasures, and he was a core seed who received dedicated training from a second-rate power from a young age, this speed would be about the same."
"If one has exceptional talent and receives top-tier or even elite training, reaching the level of Dou Wang or even Dou Huang at this age is not impossible."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan was once again shocked.
I had long heard that the Central Plains was exceptionally prosperous, while the Northwest Continent was the most barren. I never imagined that the geniuses there would be so formidable. Even though I hadn't been out of school for three years, I was still far behind.
But compared to those geniuses, his cousin was still more powerful. After all, the old doctor had given so many prerequisites. Conversely, Zhang Yuan was in the Northwest Continent, where the concentration of battle qi was lower, there were fewer advanced techniques and skills, and even fewer resources, famous teachers, and rare treasures. He managed to catch up with the core seed who had been nurtured by a second-rate force since childhood.
If my cousin were in Zhongzhou, he would definitely be a Dou Wang, or even a Dou Huang, by now!
"But my cousin really did open it, didn't he?" Xiao Yan murmured.
The old apothecary blinked and asked, "Open what?"
"hang."
"hang?"
"It's like cheating. If the Burning Technique can really devour different flames and evolve, then it's pretty much a cheat."
"Oh~"
"The teacher understands."
"perhaps."
An old man and a young boy stared at each other, one big and one small.
At the same time, Zhang Yuan reached out and knocked on Xun'er's door.
"Xun'er."
Hearing that voice that haunted her dreams, Xun'er's delicate body trembled, her heart filled with both joy and grievance.
But she wasn't one to throw tantrums; she immediately got up, went to the door, and opened it.
As expected, it was Zhang Yuan. He was noticeably taller than a year ago, and he looked more mature, handsome, and resolute. His aura had also become stronger, exuding masculinity.
"Brother Yuan." Xun'er wanted to say something sarcastic.
She hadn't written to herself for six months and was seeing other women. Although she chose to condone and accept this because of her family background and social standing, it didn't mean she had no feelings.
Before she could say anything, Zhang Yuan opened his arms and pulled her into his embrace, saying softly, "I missed you so much."
Today, Xun'er wore a light purple dress, exuding a pure and refined aura, like a fairy untouched by worldly affairs. Her beauty was beyond compare, with a delicate face and a perfect figure, making her incredibly charming. However, it was as if no one dared to entertain any fantasies, for fear of profaning her sacred beauty.
But Zhang Yuan had no such concerns; these were flowers in his own hands.
"."
With her face pressed against Zhang Yuan's strong, warm chest, Xun'er's mind went blank for a moment, her body tense and stiff, but she quickly relaxed and regained her clarity, a slight smile curving her lips.
"Foul." Xun'er reached out and hugged Zhang Yuan's waist, her delicate nose wrinkling slightly.
All the grievances that had been building up in my heart, and all the words I wanted to say, vanished in that hug.
This is the man I've chosen, a choice I'll hold dear for life, so I can only spoil him.
"." Ling Ying silently turned her back in the shadows.
He was a little confused for a moment.
Miss Xun'er is so indulgent towards Young Master Zhang Yuan. Will she really accept her fate after returning to the ancient clan?
Miss wouldn't be the kind of person who cares about background, after all, no one has a more noble birth than her.
Miss wouldn't be the kind of person who despises the poor and loves the rich; after all, no one is richer than the ancient clan that runs the Lingye Chamber of Commerce and controls the Heavenly Tomb.
"This is not my business. Let the clan leader worry about it." Ling Ying felt that she was overthinking things.
He doesn't need to worry about Xun'er's affairs; he just needs to be a good protector for Zhang Yuan.
The young master is also a person with great fortune, who helped him break through to the Dou Zong level through his own strength.
After reporting to the clan, I will receive better treatment. If I can also get the young lady's support, it's not impossible to hope for becoming a Dou Zun.
"Let's go for a stroll in the back mountain."
After a long tender moment, Zhang Yuan naturally took Xun'er's small hand, and with wings formed from the strange fire behind him, he carried her into the sky.
Xun'er's eyes remained expressionless, then she smiled faintly and said, "I've tried to transform into wings with different flames, but I haven't mastered it. Could Brother Yuan teach me?"
"I'd be happy to help Xun'er." Zhang Yuan landed with Xun'er on an open space behind the mountain, then smiled and said, "Show me your strange fire."
Xun'er raised her hand and summoned the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame.
Zhang Yuan sensed that his fighting spirit was being restricted in some way, and it seemed to be dissipating.
The four small silver dragons in the Four Dragons Thunderfire roared as if they were threatened.
"Golden Emperor Burning Sky Flame!"
Xiao Yan, who was honing his fighting skills on the back mountain, was about to descend the mountain when he saw Zhang Yuan appear with Xun'er. Suddenly, Yao Lao's voice echoed in his mind.
"Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame? Is it some kind of strange flame?" Xiao Yan's heart warmed.
"Well, you're ranked fourth on the Strange Flame Ranking. It's best if you don't even think about it right now," said the old doctor.
"Hiss~" Xiao Yan gasped.
Who exactly is Xun'er, that she actually possesses the fourth-ranked Strange Flame on the Strange Flame Ranking?
Although he was afraid of his sister-in-law, he still hoped that she and Zhang Yuan could grow old together.
If Xun'er's background is too terrifying, it will be very difficult for Zhang Yuan to be with her.
"Teacher, do you know Xun'er's background?" Xiao Yan asked.
"I know a little," Yao Lao said in a deep voice. "You'd better not try to learn about it yet. Wait until you become a Dou Zun before you do."
Xiao Yan:?
Holy crap, what kind of background does someone have that's so powerful? Only a Dou Zun (a high-ranking Dou Zun) is qualified to know about it!?
At this moment, the old doctor was also very unsettled.
If he remembered correctly, the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame was known as the ancient clan's inherited fire, and few people could subdue it. It was a terrifying strange fire that could even burn battle qi. Legend has it that the first owner of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame used this fire to burn the space created by a Dou Sheng powerhouse into nothingness.
So Xun'er is actually a member of an ancient clan?
Possessing the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, she holds an extremely high position within the ancient clan.
I, someone who was expelled from the Medicine Clan, am far inferior to them.
But why did such a person stay in the Xiao family for so long, and still end up being won over by that brat Zhang Yuan?
"Could this Xiao be that Xiao?" Yao Lao gasped inwardly.
The master and apprentice instantly transformed into a shocked master and apprentice.
"Battle Qi is burning, could this be the Golden Emperor's Heaven-Burning Flame?" Zhang Yuan deliberately feigned surprise.
On this continent, no one understands different kinds of fire better than him for the time being.
Those who understand the Strange Flames believe there are twenty-three types, but in reality there are only twenty-two. The number one ranked Emperor Flame is formed by the fusion of twenty-two different Strange Flames. It could originally be any one of the Strange Flames, so it doesn't have a specific name. Tuoshe Ancient Emperor was the number one on the Strange Flame Ranking.
From this perspective, the Void Devouring Flame and the Pure Lotus Demon Flame are the first and second on the list of strange flames. These two strange flames are unique and are very likely not native to the Dou Qi Continent. This is why the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe was able to break through to the Dou Di level without source energy.
If the Void Devouring Flame and the Pure Lotus Demon Flame are not native exotic flames, then the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame is the number one native exotic flame, which shows the ancient clan's profound heritage.
"Yes." Xun'er nodded slightly: "It's the Golden Emperor's Burning Heaven Flame."
"You actually possess a Strange Flame ranked fourth on the Strange Flame Ranking." Zhang Yuan's eyes widened in shock. "It seems your background is even more terrifying than I imagined. I need to work even harder."
Xun'er smiled faintly and said, "Brother Yuan, Xun'er will also try her best."
Zhang Yuan didn't say things like "Leave everything to me." Some things can be done without saying them; saying them would make one seem ignorant and unsympathetic.
"I'll teach you how to transform into wings of different flames." Zhang Yuan released his soul power to sense Xun'er's grasp of the Golden Emperor's Burning Heaven Flame.
Well, the number one in the local area is the number one in the local area. Even though it is a young fire that has grown up, it is much stronger than the weakened version of the ninth local fire that he has mastered. Moreover, it has the characteristic of burning battle qi, so it is not easy to transform into wings.
"It seems you can't fly until you break through to the Dou Shi level."
After some attempts, Zhang Yuan came to a conclusion.
Although Xun'er's cultivation technique is extraordinary, she is still only a Seven-Star Dou Zhe, and her Dou Qi is completely insufficient for the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame to expend.
"Alright." Xun'er wasn't disappointed; she had wanted Zhang Yuan to teach her something anyway.
She can't be denied the same treatment that even a little girl like Yao Ye receives, can she?
