Chapter 32 Simple and Unpretentious Cultivation

From that day on, Xiao Miao began a simple and unpretentious life. In the morning, he would spar with Mobas at the martial arts arena, cultivate at noon to recover his battle qi, and go to see Medusa in the afternoon.

Occasionally, you can also take a look at the scenery in the holy city, although there's nothing much to see, and you always get strange looks from the snake people.

In contrast, Mobas was no longer as high-spirited as before. He thought he had gained a lot of treasures, but unexpectedly, with each day of cultivation above, and with the snake people providing a certain amount of cultivation resources, Xiao Miao's Heavenly Fall technique became more and more proficient.

Moreover, despite only having a little time to cultivate battle qi each day, his terrifying talent is something that ordinary people can hardly match.

On the first day, Mobas was able to hold his own against him, but every day after that, Mobas felt that the human body in front of him was like a terrifying little monster cub that was crying for food. Every time they fought, he felt that the other party's strength was increasing. After a month, Mobas was easily knocked to the ground by the other party.

Mobas then regretted his actions, realizing he would be humiliated every day. He immediately consulted with the other seven serpent people, wanting to return the treasure.

But the others were even more reluctant to go up there. Even the strongest in terms of physical strength was like this. If they were allowed to go up, they were afraid that the other party would not be able to hold back their strength and they would be gone.

From then on, Mobas began his 'happy' sparring life. As time went on, Xiao Miao's physical strength became more and more terrifying, prompting Mobas to use his battle qi during sparring. He thought he could turn the tide, but the situation turned out to be exactly the same as on the first day.

At this moment, even if Mobas used all his skills, he could only fight Xiao Miao, who had physical strength, to a draw. From then on, Mobas was filled with despair because he knew that the strength of the person in front of him was increasing every day. He was afraid that soon he would be no longer even a punching bag. He hoped that the other party would replace him then.

Occasionally, the other seven snake people would come over to check on the progress, but after Mobas, who used battle qi, was knocked down by Xiao Miao with a single punch, they never came to the training ground again, for fear that he would think the sand monsters below were not tough enough and call the seven of them down to get beaten up together.

On the other hand, the snake people around him had become accustomed to it. From fighting Mobas to a draw at the beginning, and then crushing Mobas later, if Xiao Miao were not human but a member of the snake people, his prestige would probably be no less than that of the eight snake people leaders.

Even so, a small group of snake people secretly became his fans, going to the training ground every day to watch him hone his skills against Mobas, hoping to learn some essential techniques from the two masters.

Things had come to this point, and Mobas was already like a puppet who had lost all hope, going in standing and going out lying down every day.

Time passed gradually, and Xiao Miao continued to live this life repeatedly. However, seeing his own strength grow, he remained steadfast despite his simple lifestyle.

Looking at Mobas, who had fallen to the ground for the nth time, Xiao Miao couldn't help but think to himself:

"My Heavenly Strike is almost complete, and Mobas is no match for me. Let's see if I can break through tonight."

Xiao Miao glanced at Mobas on the ground. Although it was the same as usual, for some reason, he felt that it was better for him to be dead than alive.

Is it my imagination?

Xiao Miao shook his head, not wanting to think about it any further, and walked towards the temple.

Sigh, I'm afraid I won't be able to spar with him starting tomorrow. Mobas must be lonely, I thought to myself, but the words I said to him the day before we sparred together kept replaying in my mind.

At that time, Mobas was full of vigor and stood in front of Xiao Miao, his whole body surging with passion and fighting spirit. He said to him:

"It's really all thanks to you."

When Xiao Miao heard his opponent say that, he felt his blood boil. He thought he had found a friend who shared the same ideals, even though they were not of the same race. He was convinced that after the opponent helped him cultivate his physical body, he would have a good fight with him. Little did he know that Mobas was just lamenting the bribe he had received.

Today was the last match, and although Mobas's performance was even worse than before, Xiao Miao felt that he had already fulfilled his wish.

However, Xiao Miao did not notice that Mobas, who was lying on the ground behind him, had empty eyes that were gradually filled with mist, which seemed to be similar to someone's appearance in the secret room, but also different.

Xiao Miao had been with the snake people for almost a year, and as he walked along the road, he thought about what he had gained in the past year.

The improvement in his physical body is the most obvious. Now he should be able to fight at the mid-stage of the Battle Emperor level when he uses the Heavenly Fall technique. He just doesn't know if he can spar with his master. As he controls the Strange Fire of Medusa, his control over the Strange Fire has become stronger. He can even subdivide it into minute details. In contrast, his previous progress in cultivating Battle Qi was slow, and he only reached the peak of Battle King.

It wasn't just because he was channeling Dou Qi into Xiao; Xiao Miao also spent far less time cultivating Dou Qi than the other two. He also needed to consolidate the breakthrough in strength brought about by absorbing the strange fire and prevent his foundation from becoming unstable. This is why he only reached the peak of Dou Wang. Even so, if outsiders were to see such a young peak Dou Wang, they would probably be so shocked that their jaws would drop.

Now that he has seen Medusa again, the pressure emanating from her is not as terrifying or astonishing as it was when they first met.

Firstly, it was because Xiao Miao's strength had improved. Secondly, the two had been providing each other with training for nearly a year. Moreover, Xiao Miao had been using a different kind of fire in her body for so long without any abnormalities, which meant that she probably considered Xiao Miao as a half-ally. Xiao Miao seemed to sense this from Medusa's slightly softened tone.

The two nodded slightly and then began their usual cultivation.

After this incident, Xiao Miao thought it best to tell Medusa about the method of tempering the body with strange fire. If she agreed, he could use her as a test subject first. If it worked, he could do the same thing in the future.

Hearing Xiao Miao's words, Medusa, who was lying on the ground, couldn't help but analyze the situation in her mind. She found that the method of the person in front of her seemed to be much better than her own. Suddenly, her breathing became slightly rapid. If that was the case, what had she been doing for almost a year?

Thinking of this, her originally pale face flushed slightly, and she couldn't help but say to Xiao Miao, though her tone carried a hint of anger.

"Since you had a better way, why didn't you say so earlier? Are you happy to see me like this?"

To be honest, Xiao Miao was afraid that Medusa, who was already covered in blood and on the verge of death, would collapse and die from exhaustion as she spoke angrily.

Chapter 33 Happy Together

"Well, there's a reason for that."

Despite being severely injured and lying on the ground, Medusa's phoenix eyes remained fixed on Xiao Miao, as if she would not be able to resist attacking him if he did not provide a reasonable explanation.

"I'm new here too, you might not even believe me if I make this suggestion. Besides, this is just an experiment for me, I haven't tried it yet."

~

Xiao Miao, who was being stared at by Medusa's phoenix eyes, was not nervous. Instead, he spoke slowly and leisurely.

It can only be said that strength is a very good thing. In the past, Xiao Miao would not have dared to be so carefree.

"Wait here for me to recover, and we'll try it in a bit."

Xiao Miao did not refuse when he heard this, after all, he also wanted to know if this method was feasible, it was just a matter of waiting a few more hours.

Xiao Miao looked at the pill in Medusa's hand. He had never taken a fourth-grade recovery pill before, and before he could even examine it carefully, Medusa had already taken it. Seeing this, he couldn't help but feel a little jealous, and he muttered to himself:

"Tch, using fourth-grade pills, how extravagant. Unlike me, I use third-grade ones."

How could Medusa, who was sitting cross-legged recovering from her injuries, not hear these words?

Medusa's lips twitched slightly, and she opened her phoenix eyes to glance at him sideways. This guy really takes advantage of a little bit of face. But she quickly closed her eyes again and focused on recovering from her injuries.

Seeing that Medusa ignored him, Xiao Miao sat cross-legged beside her and quietly watched her recover from her injuries.

Xiao Miao had to admit that although the snake-woman in front of him was cold-hearted, she was extremely beautiful.

Previously, I thought that my master was already stunningly beautiful, but the woman in front of me was no less beautiful, only their styles were different, one was elegant and refined, and the other was gorgeous.

Medusa felt Xiao Miao's gaze but didn't care at all, simply recovering peacefully. Xiao Miao, disregarding his own actions, quietly watched the person in front of him, waiting for her to recover.

"I've recovered 80%, let's get started."

As Xiao Miao looked at Medusa standing up in front of him and said this, he couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness in his heart again.

"Fourth-grade pills are really good; the recovery is so fast. It only took two hours to recover."

However, now was the crucial moment of the experiment, so Xiao Miao calmed himself down and condensed the strange fire in his palm.

What should you do?

Medusa couldn't help but wonder as she watched Xiao Miao control the strange fire.

"It's very simple. I will use the strange fire to condense needles and stimulate the acupoints."

Xiao Miao thought about the cultivation method of the Heavenly Fall, and realized that it was just a matter of replacing the battle qi with a strange fire.

Medusa, upon hearing Xiao Miao's words, couldn't help but feel a little skeptical. It wasn't that she doubted his method, but rather that the condensation of the strange fire into a needle was something that Medusa, despite not possessing a strange fire herself, knew. She knew that to condense it into a needle required precise control; otherwise, if it exploded, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Medusa's question was swallowed back down before she could even voice it, because at some point, the strange fire in Xiao Miao's hand had already condensed and split into hundreds of hair-thin strange fire needles.

"Are you ready?"

Xiao Miao was also a little nervous at this moment, as this was the first time he had tried this method.

Medusa nodded without saying a word.

"Let's start with the acupoints on the upper body. Relax and don't resist."

As soon as Xiao Miao finished speaking, the strange fire needle in his hand pierced Medusa's body. Although Tian Xingzhui was only a hair's breadth away from reaching the Great Perfection Realm, he had already memorized all the acupoints on his body.

"uh-huh."

As the strange fire needles were inserted into her body, Medusa couldn't help but let out a soft groan, clearly indicating that the sensation was extremely painful, but despite this, she still persevered.

Compared to the previous strange fire entering from the inside, this stimulation, although still very painful, is much more bearable than before.

Moreover, as time went on, Medusa felt the physical strength of her upper body constantly increasing, and she felt a greater affinity for the strange fire. You should know that she had endured more than half a year of being burned by the fire before she gained that affinity, but now it was so easy. If she had started cultivating like this before, she could probably have tried to transform by now.

Two hours later, Xiao Miao withdrew the strange fire from Medusa's body, though her face was slightly flushed.

Medusa's clothes were burned to ashes by the strange fire during the cultivation process, but fortunately she had exceptional willpower.

Xiao Miao shook off the unhealthy thoughts in his mind. Looking at Medusa, whose face was flushed and who was glaring at him, Xiao Miao could only helplessly shrug and indicate that there was nothing he could do.

Medusa, however, was helpless. Although she felt ashamed of this kind of training, the results were too fast. This one training session alone was equivalent to a week of training before.

If things continue like this, in another six months—no, not even six months, just two months—I will be able to use the strange fire to undergo a transformation and break through to the Dou Zong realm.

Seeing the awkward situation, Xiao Miao took his leave. He was afraid that Medusa would lose control of her emotions and attack him if he stayed any longer.

"But she has a great figure."

Back in the side room, Xiao Miao, for some reason, had the scene from earlier replay in her mind, and murmured softly to herself.

The next morning.

Looking at Mobas in front of him, Xiao Miao thought that he must have come to find him today because I didn't go to the training ground. He couldn't help but sigh. Without me as his sparring partner, he would probably be lonely in the future.

But he had already broken through to the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Journey Fall technique last night, so there was no point in continuing to cultivate it. He had no choice but to reluctantly refuse.

"You've trained with me for so long now. Although it was your queen's order, we share the same goals. But I've already mastered my skills and no longer need to spar with you. You don't need to look for me anymore."

Looking at Mobas, who was staring blankly at him, Xiao Miao seemed unable to bear the thought of him showing his sad face in a few seconds, so he immediately slipped away from him.

Little did he know the joy that Mobas was feeling while he stood there, stunned. It was the most joyful day of his entire snake-man life, even more so than when he received treasures from the other snake-man leaders.
