Battle Through the Heavens: The Rock King Emperor's Leisurely Wanderings in the Mortal World

Chapter 33 Two women form a bond, and their bodies are tempered by strange lightning.

Xiao Xun'er's gaze was involuntarily drawn to the Little Fairy Doctor before her. In terms of beauty, she was confident that she far surpassed all the women in the Xiao family, including Xiao Mei, who had once been close to Xiao Yan. However, in front of the Little Fairy Doctor at this moment, Xiao Xun'er's eyes became somewhat dazed.

"Sister Xun'er?" Little Fairy Doctor called out to Xiao Xun'er again with a smile.

"Oh, Little Fairy Doctor, how are you? I've been so rude. I never imagined you would be so beautiful. Please come in, please come in and have a seat."

A blush crept onto Little Fairy Doctor's cheeks, and then she slowly stepped into the room, softly laughing, "Haha, Sister Xun'er, you flatter me."

Led by Xiao Xun'er, Little Fairy Doctor sat side by side with her on the bed.

"Has Fairy Sister ever met Brother Xiao Yan?"

Xiao Xun'er leaned forward slightly and gently grasped the little fairy doctor's hand, which seemed a little nervous and unsure of where to put it.

Xiao Xun'er's actions gradually calmed down Little Fairy Doctor's slightly tense emotions.

"I haven't met him yet. After Master took me to pay my respects to Clan Chief Xiao Zhan, he instructed Steward Mo to take me to arrange a room."

"Oh? Since you call Brother Xiao Yan 'Senior Brother,' then you were only recently accepted as a disciple by Mr. Zhongli?"

"Yes, I was taken in by my master in Qingshan Town."

Little Fairy Doctor felt a little uneasy, after all, this was the first time she had the concept of "home" and the first time she had felt the warmth of "home".

"Don't be afraid. Zi Yunyi and I are the foundation for your standing in this family."

Zhongli's voice suddenly echoed in Xiaoyixian's mind. She couldn't tell if it was Zhongli's real voice or her own hallucination. However, after this sound, Xiaoyixian's previously slightly trembling tone became full of confidence.

Little Fairy Doctor gently grasped Xiao Xun'er's wrist, turned it over, and placed her other hand on Xiao Xun'er's palm. As the ring at the base of her finger flickered slightly, a light blue butterfly hair clip appeared in Xiao Xun'er's palm.

"Since we've just met, I don't have anything of value. I also know that Sister Xun'er has everything she needs. This hair clip was carefully crafted from the magic core of a first-tier Azure Flame Flying Bird Beast. It's just a small token of my appreciation, and I hope Sister Xun'er won't find it offensive."

Little Fairy Doctor's actions surprised Xiao Xun'er slightly. She thought to herself, "If Zhongli truly came from one of the other six clans, why would he accept such a naive and inexperienced disciple?"

"If he is not one of the other six clans, then we can still control everything concerning Zhongli. After all, apart from those six clans, which have the strength to rival our ancient clan, no other force is worth fearing."

Xiao Xun'er smiled with relief, realizing that she had been too sensitive to Zhong Li before.

Then, she slowly released Little Fairy Doctor's hand from her wrist and said with a smile, "Why are you being so formal, Fairy Sister? You are Zhongli Keqing's precious disciple, so naturally you are a member of our Xiao family. Why should we talk about disliking or not disliking each other when we are family?"

"Hmm." Little Fairy Doctor looked at Xiao Xun'er with eyes that revealed seven parts gratitude and three parts appreciation.

"However, Sister Xian'er, although Mr. Zhongli is a guest elder of our Xiao family, he is actually quite taciturn. He usually only talks to Uncle Xiao Zhan and Brother Xiao Yan. To be honest, my sisters and I are quite curious about Guest Elder Zhongli. Why don't you tell me about Guest Elder Zhongli, Sister Xian'er? That way, when I chat with my sisters Xiao Mei and Xiao Ling'er in a couple of days, it will be easier for you to join in, won't it?"

"Okay, sure." As soon as Zhongli was mentioned, Little Fairy Doctor became very talkative, as if she had opened a floodgate, and kept telling the stories that Zhongli had told her on their walk back to Wutan City these past few days.

……

……

Utan City, behind the mountain.

At this moment, Xiao Yan remained firmly seated atop the boulder. Beads of sweat, as large as soybeans, covered his entire body like fine raindrops, clinging his clothes tightly to his skin. The violent power of the Crimson Flame Lightning coursed through his body like an untamed beast, constantly assaulting and imprinting itself upon him.

With each step forward, the pain Xiao Yan endured instantly doubled like a tidal wave, bringing him to the brink of collapse.

As the imprinting process slowly passed the halfway mark, most of the power of the strange lightning had been absorbed and refined by the "Eternal Thunder Technique" within Xiao Yan's body.

At this moment, Xiao Yan not only had to struggle against the extreme pain deep within his body and soul, but also had to spare some of his mind to carefully deal with the large amount of Dou Qi generated by the Eternal Thunder Technique.

These fighting energies, like a surging torrent, possess immense pressure from their recent birth and could break through Xiao Yan's cultivation level at any moment. If they get out of control, not only will the level of fighting energies within Xiao Yan's body become unstable and unreliable, but the consequences will be irreversible.

If he cannot control it properly this time, his battle qi level will be even more unstable when he devours the strange lightning next time, and it will be even more difficult to control.

"Xiao Yan, you must hold on! Get through this and remember this feeling. In the future, when you absorb the strange lightning, you will be able to better control the situation. At that time, your fighting spirit will be more condensed and abundant than that of cultivators at the same level. In this way, the problem of insufficient fighting spirit reserves caused by the Eternal Thunder Technique being only a Yellow-rank technique in the early stage will be greatly improved."

The latest novel is first published here!

Xiao Yan nodded slightly with difficulty. At this moment, there were not only crackling sounds from the strange lightning within his body, as if lightning was shuttling between his bones, but also muffled groans as he gritted his teeth and endured the torment, as if telling the story of how difficult this ordeal was.

……

……

Time slipped by silently, each minute and second passing by quietly. Beside Xiao Yan, Zhong Li and Yao Chen stared intently at the child before them, who was filled with an endless thirst for power.

"The perseverance that Xiao Yan has shown is truly beyond my imagination. I thought that the difficulty of cultivating the Eternal Thunder Technique was already high enough, but I did not expect that I still underestimated it. What surprised me even more was that I underestimated Xiao Yan's determination to become stronger."

Zhong Li nodded slightly, his eyes filled with admiration for Xiao Yan. Yao Chen, upon hearing this, showed a look of satisfaction on his face, slowly stroked his beard, and nodded in agreement.

He secretly wondered if he, like Zhongli, had underestimated the difficulty of the Eternal Thunder Technique in absorbing the strange thunder, and underestimated the immense pain brought about by the Burning Technique when absorbing the strange fire.

However, when Yao Chen saw Xiao Yan clenching his teeth, even breaking off a small piece of his tooth, he seemed to have made up his mind.
