In Battle Through the Heavens, lying down makes you stronger.

Chapter 174 That fighting spirit stuff isn't like diarrhea.

Xiao Ran gave Xiao Yan a thumbs up as he turned and waved.

Xiao Yan smiled smugly and quickly followed after him.

Watching Xiao Yan walk away,

Xiao Ran then turned around and went back into the shop.

This was also something he had agreed upon with Hai Bodong beforehand, after he gave Hai Bodong the Breaking Pill.

Hai Bodong first gave him the map, and then he protected Hai Bodong's safety while he took the Breaking Pill to break the seal.

Perhaps because of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, Hai Bodong was noticeably less evasive towards Xiao Ran than he was towards Xiao Yan in the original story.

Without saying a word, he handed the remaining half of the incomplete map to Xiao Ran.

He excitedly took the pills and went into the secret room to take them.

What puzzled Xiao Ran was how Xiao Yan managed to hook up with a beautiful girl in such a short time.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Ran shook his head helplessly.

Young and impetuous, young and infatuated, that's it, right?

Upon entering the shop, it was discovered that Hai Bodong had gone into seclusion.

So, inside the shop, only Xiao Ran and Xiao Qing remained.

Meanwhile, the Amethyst Winged Lion King stood guard outside.

Xiao Ran casually flipped through the maps on the shelf at the counter.

It must be said that Hai Bodong's skills are indeed quite good.

The map depicts almost every city in the Empire.

Xiao Ran selected a few useful maps and put them into his storage ring.

He then said to Xiaoqing,

"Xiao Qing, take whatever you like, don't be shy. Anyway, once Elder Hai recovers, he's not planning to stay here anymore."

Like a busy little bee, Xiao Qing was constantly on the go, currently boiling water to prepare tea for Xiao Ran.

Hearing Xiao Ran's words,

Turning to look at Xiao Ran, she smiled sweetly and said...

"No need, Xiaoqing has everything she needs as she stays by the young master's side."

Xiao Ran laughed heartily.

He gave Xiaoqing a thumbs up and praised her.

"clever!"

Xiaoqing gave a charming smile and then turned around to get busy again.

Xiao Ran then found several more maps of the Jiama Empire and began to examine them carefully.

Time flies, and the sun is about to set.

Suddenly, there was a "buzzing" sound.

An invisible aura of battle energy instantly emanated from the shop's secret chamber.

In the shop,

The maps, whether on the counter or on the shelf, were all shaken and flung into the air by this invisible wave.

Even tables and chairs were lifted up.

Xiao Ran frowned, put down a map in his hand, and waved his hand.

An invisible aura emanated, protecting Xiao Qing, who was sleeping soundly on his lap.

A slight smile played on his lips. He then picked up his teacup and began to sip it slowly.

He seemed completely oblivious to everything happening around him.

With a loud "boom".

A large, human-shaped hole was blasted through the air above the sealed room.

A figure enveloped in a dazzling pale blue battle aura shot directly into the sky.

The powerful aura of a second-star Douhuang was unleashed.

Above the sky, Hai Bodong, dressed in coarse linen clothes, with a pair of light blue wings on his back and a scar on his face, laughed heartily.

"Hahaha! I, the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, am back again!"

"From this day forward, I shall fly freely in this sky! I shall tread freely on this earth!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Just then, an angry roar rang out.

"Roar! Little Ice, you're asking for it!"

"How dare you disturb my sleep! You'll die!"

Hai Bodong, who was originally radiating the aura of a Dou Huang and displaying the glory of a returning emperor, was now in a state of constant aura.

It felt as if someone had suddenly grabbed my neck.

The hearty laughter abruptly stopped.

That powerful aura of a Dou Huang vanished in an instant.

Hai Bodong awkwardly cupped his hands in greeting to the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

"Um, Lion King, I'm so sorry!"

"My battle qi has been sealed for too long. Suddenly the seal was broken and my battle qi was restored. I was unable to control the battle qi in my body for a moment. Please forgive me, Lion King."

The Amethyst Winged Lion King scoffed at Hai Bodong's words.

"Bullshit! You've been a Dou Huang for decades, and you're telling me you can't control yourself?"

"That fighting spirit isn't like diarrhea, what's so uncontrollable about it?"

Hai Bodong's face flushed red and then turned pale.

To be honest, I had just recovered.

Having broken the seal within his body, thanks to the high quality of the Breaking Calamity Pill provided by Xiao Ran, he retained much of his strength and recovered to the level of a second-star Dou Huang.

Having recovered his Douhuang realm, Hai Bodong suddenly realized that he had been too subservient and even overly obsequious towards Xiao Ran.

It feels like I've lost face as a Dou Huang powerhouse.

Only then did it release its aura.

My intention wasn't to recall any conflict; I just wanted to remind them that I was, after all, a Dou Huang powerhouse.

They deserve the respect they are given.

But no sooner had he released his aura than he was scolded by the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

Only now did Hai Bodong realize that after not seeing him for many years, he was only at the second level of Douhuang.

He's not even close to the level of the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

He felt even more respect for Xiao Ran.

Facing the amethyst winged lion king that pounced on him.

While flapping its wings to dodge, it said helplessly,

"That lion king, let me explain, I can explain!"

"roar!"

"Whatever you want to say, let me beat you up first!"

……

at the same time,

Above the sky thirty miles from Mo City.

A large black serpent with eight wings flapped its wings and complained.

"Green Barbarian, you slut, are you mistaken?"

Beside them stood a woman dressed in blue, with a human body and a snake's tail, and a pair of blue wings on her back.

Hearing the eight-winged serpent's complaints, it immediately turned its head and roared angrily.

"White Fang, if you dare say another word against me, I'll break all your wings!"

White Fang, also known as the Eight-Winged Black Serpent, gave an awkward smile.

"I was just saying it offhand. It's called a nickname. Don't you understand what a nickname is?"

"Look at your attitude!"

The snake-man named Green Barbarian cursed angrily.

"Screw your damn lightning-fast, roundabout, dog-like fart!"

"This time, my aunt is carrying a secret treasure given to her by the lord of the manor, which is specifically designed to sense things."

"A month ago, while I was still on the border, I sensed that unique aura. It must be in the Tagh Desert!"

Suddenly, a powerful aura flashed by!

Both Baiya and Lüman frowned.

"A Dou Huang level expert?"

They exchanged a glance, both seeing the seriousness in each other's eyes.

Green Barbarian immediately frowned and glanced at White Teeth.

"Where did this Dou Huang level expert come from on the edge of the Tagor Desert? Could he be a powerful member of the Snake-People tribe?"

Upon hearing this, White Fang was overjoyed, his two enormous snake eyes seeming to glow with delight as he exclaimed.

"Excellent, excellent! Perfect timing to go see my Queen Medusa!"
