Battle Through the Heavens: Inward Cultivation, Crying Xiao Yan

There's also a stream there, so if you're all sweaty after training, you can take a bath.

Just as Xiao Yang was about to arrive there, he heard several cries of pain from afar.

"hiss--"

"what!"

"it hurts!"

He recognized the voice; it was Xiao Yan's voice.

……

After acquiring the Fire-Blowing Palm and the Absorbing Palm, Xiao Yan originally wanted to go to the Fighting Hall to see what suitable fighting techniques were available.

After all, although the Absorbing Palm and the Flaming Palm are Xuan-level fighting techniques, they are not very powerful.

Unfortunately, the fighting hall was full of Yellow Rank fighting techniques.

In the end, he still managed to obtain the Eight Extremes Collapse from the old medicine master.

However, practicing the Eight Extremes Collapse requires a very high level of physical strength.

At that time, Xiao Yan's physical strength and cultivation were not high enough, so he was easily injured when practicing the Eight Extremes Collapse.

So, during this time, he stayed in the back mountain where the old doctor was training his body.

The old doctor then condensed his spiritual power into a whip, lashing it repeatedly at Xiao Yan.

"hiss--"

"what!"

"it hurts!"

Xiao Yan was grimacing and crying out in pain from Yao Lao's slaps.

However, his eyes were full of determination, showing no intention of stopping.

Just then, the old man who was smoking medicine suddenly stopped.

"Why all of a sudden..."

Just as Xiao Yan was filled with doubt and about to ask Yao Lao why he had suddenly stopped, Yao Lao directly transmitted his voice to him.

"Someone is coming."

The next moment, Yao Lao instantly returned to the ring.

Before long, Xiao Yang's figure appeared in Xiao Yan's sight.

He also knew why the old doctor had gone into hiding.

"Little Yanzi, you're here too?"

Xiao Yang greeted Xiao Yan when he saw him.

"Brother Yang, what brings you here?"

He also replied to Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang glanced at Xiao Yan, whose entire body was flushed, with a strange expression.

"I came to the back mountain to test out my newly learned fighting techniques."

"What is this...?"

"Why is your whole body all red, like a cooked shrimp? Are you alright?"

He didn't intend to hide it; it was just a mid-level Xuan-rank fighting technique.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan quickly made up an excuse.

"Ahem, I'm tempering my body."

"It's just that the workout took a long time, so my muscles got congested."

Xiao Yang nodded with a strange expression.

This isn't about tempering the body; it's more like being beaten on one side.

He also knew that it must have been Yao Lao who made it.

"You need to be careful not to leave any hidden injuries."

"I've been working out hard lately and bought a lot of medicinal bath ingredients. I'll bring some over to you later."

Because he had been soaking in the Rejuvenating Elixir, he hadn't used any of the medicinal bath ingredients he had bought before.

Moreover, since it was purchased from the Xiao family at the original price, it's not appropriate to sell it directly.

So, I might as well just give it to Xiao Yan.

As for Xiao Yan not needing it, that's none of his business.

Xiao Yan felt somewhat embarrassed upon hearing this.

He hadn't expected anyone to come from the back of the mountain, so he quickly changed the subject.

"Thank you, Brother Yang."

"Brother Yang, what new fighting technique have you learned? Why don't you go to the fighting hall and spar with someone?"

Xiao Yang waved his hand.

"I acquired this fighting skill myself, not from the Xiao family's fighting hall."

"That's why I came to the back mountain to conduct my own experiment."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's heart stirred.

He had previously learned to blow fire with his palm and suck in his palm.

However, he has never fought anyone yet.

So he began to speak.

"Brother Yang, how about we have a friendly spar?"

"I just recently acquired two fighting techniques."

Xiao Yang's expression turned somewhat strange upon hearing this.

Are you sure?

"Then I will suppress my cultivation to around the third level of Dou Qi and spar with you."

Since Xiao Yan had taken the initiative to offer himself up, he did not refuse.

He directly created the mission.

[Task: Defeat Xiao Yan in a sparring match. Reward: Qi +10, Comprehension +10, and one Foundation Establishment Elixir]

A look of surprise flashed across Xiao Yang's face as he saw the mission reward.

As expected of Qi Lie Ying, the rewards are truly generous!

Chapter 13 The Power of the Fierce Mountain Fist

A slight smile appeared on Xiao Yan's lips.

"No need, Brother Yang, I have already broken through to the fourth level of Dou Qi."

"Moreover, the fighting techniques I've acquired are more powerful, so you don't need to suppress your strength."

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Yao Lao, who was inside the ring, shook his head.

With his spiritual strength, he could certainly sense Xiao Yang's current realm.

"Fine, let him learn a lesson he'll get from this."

"At least for now, there won't be any real loss from taking a loss."

"If we suffer a loss at the hands of the enemy in the future, it could be fatal."

"However... I noticed this Xiao Yang before. His soul power seems to be quite extraordinary, actually reaching the mid-stage of the mortal realm."

The old doctor looked at Xiao Yang outside with some surprise.

He never expected that a mere boy at the Dou Qi stage would possess a soul realm at the mid-mortal stage.

……

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yang, though he already knew, still feigned surprise.

"Really?"

"Your talent has finally been restored!"

"Great!"

A hint of emotion appeared on Xiao Yan's face.

"Yes, it's finally recovered."

"Brother Yang, just go all out. I want to see your strength too."

Come on!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yang said nothing more and immediately assumed a fighting stance.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan's expression also became more serious.

He launched the first attack.

Xiao Yang's cultivation level was higher than his. Although he possessed a Xuan-level fighting technique, he still attacked first to see if he could gain the upper hand.

Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Yan immediately unleashed his Absorption Palm technique.

The next moment, a suction force emanated from my hand.

Xiao Yang also felt the suction force at this moment.

"Is this the palm-attracting potion he obtained in the market?"

He thought to himself.

The suction force wasn't actually very strong for him.

However, he did not resist, but instead used the suction force to rush towards Xiao Yan.

During this process, the fighting spirit within his body surged and entered his right hand.

The fighting spirit skillfully entered the meridians and acupoints corresponding to the Fierce Mountain Fist.

Xiao Yang's right hand was immediately enveloped by a fighting spirit.

Xiao Yan saw Xiao Yang approaching and was preparing to unleash his Fire-Blowing Palm technique.

At that moment, the mutation occurred.

Upon reaching Xiao Yan, Xiao Yang threw a punch directly at him.

He could feel that the original suction force had turned into a thrust force.

However, his Fierce Mountain Fist was still very powerful, and this punch directly hit Xiao Yan with the force of the impact.

"boom!"

The punch landed squarely on Xiao Yan's chest.

However, he withdrew his power before striking Xiao Yan.

Even so, Xiao Yan was still knocked to the ground by his punch.

At the same time, the system's voice also came into his mind.

[Quest: Defeat Xiao Yan in a sparring match. Reward: Qi +10, Comprehension +10, one Foundation Establishment Elixir. Completed. Claim now?]

"hiss--"

"Brother Yang, what kind of fighting technique is that?"

"How can it be so powerful?"

Xiao Yang gave an embarrassed smile and stepped forward to help Xiao Yan up.
