Battle Through the Heavens: Reborn into the Xiao Family, Starting with Xiao Xuan's Inheritance

Chapter 70: A Battle Spirit Master, Condensing Battle Qi into Matter! An Invitation from the Alchemy Department

Xiao Yi increased his speed slightly.

The light emanating from the Dragon Abyss Breaking Formation Spear in his hand grew increasingly dazzling.

Xiao Yi neither dodged nor evaded, but went straight at the water arrow that Fu Ao had unleashed.

Seeing this, Fu Ao's lips curled up slightly, completely assuming that Xiao Yi was a complete fool.

Despite being suppressed by fighting spirit and having his attributes countered, he still dares to fight so head-on!

However, the next second, Fu Ao was completely stunned.

As Xiao Yi faced Fu Ao's water arrow in mid-air, he merely swung his spear a few times casually.

It actually broke Fu Ao's prized water arrows in two!

At the same time, the water arrow just made contact with Xiao Yilong's Dragon Abyss Breaking Formation Spear.

The scene that Fu Ao wanted to see—water overcoming fire—did not happen. Instead, the water arrow instantly evaporated when it dispelled the crimson flames on the spear!

"How is that possible!"

"I possess water-attribute fighting spirit—"

Fu Ao shouted in shock.

However, Xiao Yi's movement speed did not stop; on the contrary, it became even faster.

"I told you, my flames are no ordinary fire!"

Xiao Yi was not using ordinary fire-based battle qi at this moment, but rather the heart fire condensed from his cultivation technique!

Although its power is not as great as that of a strange fire, it is several times stronger than ordinary flames!

How could Fu Ao's ordinary water-based battle qi possibly compete with Xiao Yi's heart fire cultivated using a ground-level technique!

The next second, Fu Ao was still in shock at his water arrow being evaporated!

Xiao Yi, holding a long spear, had already silently arrived behind Fu Ao.

Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Yi exerted force with his right arm and thrust the spear towards Fu Ao's lower back.

"Bang!"

A loud bang was heard, and Xiao Yi's attack was actually blocked by Fu Ao's blue battle qi armor.

At this moment, Fu Ao finally came to his senses and swung his trident again, his fierce attack temporarily forcing Xiao Yi to retreat!

"Silly boy!"

"The defensive power of the battle qi armor condensed by a Battle Spirit expert is different from that of you Great Battle Masters!"

"A sneak attack? It's not that easy!"

Fu Ao looked smug, believing that even if his fighting spirit attribute couldn't be suppressed.

However, the gap in their cultivation levels still existed. As a Dou Ling facing a Da Dou Shi, he didn't believe he would lose.

"So this is what a Battle Spirit expert is like—"

"Battle aura is truly formidable—"

Xiao Yi snorted coldly, gripping the spear tightly as he scrutinized Fu Ao.

This was the first time Xiao Yi had faced a Dou Ling expert alone, and he was starting to regret it.

Xiao Yi should have foreseen this scenario. As an alchemist, he should have followed Xiao Yan's example from the original story and prepared more pills.

"Little guy, is this how you react when you encounter a fighting spirit?!"

Xiao Xuan's voice suddenly rang in Xiao Yi's mind.

The next second, a red mark flashed across Xiao Yi's forehead.

At the same time, Xiao Yi could clearly feel that there was a fighting spirit in his body that did not belong to him.

"Why go through all this trouble for a mere spirit battle?"

"Something that could be solved with a single blow—"

Xiao Xuan's voice then rang out softly.

Xiao Yi instantly understood and activated the powerful battle qi within his body.

The spear in his hand trembled violently at the same time, emitting bursts of light.

"The First Technique of the Sky-Breaking Technique!"

"The Dragon Awakens!"

Xiao Yi let out a low shout, and all his fighting spirit surged toward the tip of the Breaking Formation Spear.

The figure of a five-clawed golden dragon then appeared.

With a dragon's roar resounding through the heavens and earth, Xiao Yi swung his spear, and the five-clawed golden dragon, carrying supreme pressure, charged straight at Fu Ao.

However, Fu Ao remained calm and unhurried when he saw Xiao Yi activate his fighting technique.

"Then today I'll show you the true power of a Battle Spirit expert!"

"Condensing Battle Qi!"

As soon as Fu Ao finished speaking, he raised the trident in his hand.

The water-attribute fighting energy within his body rapidly surged into the trident.

In an instant, battle aura rapidly condensed on the trident.

It actually formed an energy shark made of condensed fighting spirit.

The fighting shark's giant mouth was wide open.

The sharp teeth reflected a cold, eerie luster against the backdrop of blue battle aura.

However, Fu Ao did not stop; his fighting spirit continued to gather on the trident.

The next second, four blue sharks appeared out of thin air.

Under Fu Ao's control, they all rushed towards Xiao Yi.

Suddenly, a five-clawed golden dragon collided with four giant sharks in the air.

Fu Ao was quite confident in his abilities, and the corners of his mouth had already turned up in a smile, believing that victory was already his.

However, Fu Ao was quickly proven wrong in the next second.

"boom--"

The moment the aerial dragon collided with the sharks, the four sharks were completely powerless to resist.

The giant dragon formed by Xiao Yi's fighting technique immediately crashed into the air and dissipated.

Upon seeing this, Fu Ao was greatly shocked.

In his panic, he kept swinging his trident, trying to unleash a fighting technique.

However, the dragon had already arrived in front of him.

"No!"

Fu Ao let out a desperate shout.

"boom!"

A dragon's roar was heard, and the giant dragon exploded in front of Fu Ao.

Instantly, countless dust particles were raised!

The group of White Gang underlings were now dumbfounded, staring in disbelief at the dust rising from the ground.

"How is that possible!"

"Brother Fu is a powerful Dou Ling expert, how could he possibly lose to this kid!"

"Don't just stand there! Go find Brother Bai Cheng right now! If you're any slower, the Bai Gang will lose face!"

Upon hearing this, the henchmen around him quickly fled, wanting to find reinforcements.

However, the next second, an old voice was heard from the dust.

"Stop! That's enough of today's fuss!"

As the dust settled, a white-haired old man stood before Fu Ao, having shielded him from Xiao Yi's attack.

"You White Gang members, remember this: Xiao Yi is a member of my Alchemy Department. Do not cause him any more trouble in the future!"

Although Fu Ao escaped with his life, he was still resentful.

However, he couldn't retaliate because of the white-haired old man in front of him.

He had no choice but to quickly get up and leave in a sorry state.

Xiao Yi looked at the white-haired old man who had suddenly appeared with a puzzled expression, and asked softly, "I wonder, Elder—"

The white-haired old man sized up Xiao Yi and nodded with satisfaction: "Old Liu really didn't lie to me!"

"Your soul power truly surpasses that of others; you're a once-in-a-million alchemy prodigy!"

"I am the Fire Department Head of the Inner Court's Alchemy Department. I have heard of Xiao Yi's outstanding talent, and I have come today specifically to invite him to join my Alchemy Department. I wonder if he would be willing—"

Old Man Huo looked at Xiao Yi with a smile, anticipating Xiao Yi's answer.

"Alchemy Department—"

Xiao Yi muttered something to himself, but did not immediately agree.

Seeing this, Elder Huo continued, "Joining the Alchemy Department not only allows you to learn alchemy knowledge, but the monthly fire energy rewards are also extremely generous!"

Upon hearing the words "fire energy," a glint flashed in Xiao Yi's eyes: "May I ask, Elder, how much fire energy do students in the Alchemy Department receive each month?"

Elder Huo was quite satisfied with Xiao Yi's reaction: "In addition to the pill subsidy, alchemy students receive an extra two hundred days of fire energy reward every month!"

"Two hundred days of fire energy, and I can even learn alchemy!"

"Elder, I'd like to join the Alchemy Department!"

Xiao Yi agreed without hesitation.

After all, further studying alchemy now, coupled with the power of two hundred Heavenly Fires, would be entirely beneficial to him.
