Battle Through the Heavens: His comprehension is extraordinary, shocking Yao Lao from the very begin

Chapter 15 Eight Extremes Collapse

"Therefore, in future battles, you must be decisive and swift. If you do not move, you will not move at all; but if you do move, you must go all out and finish the battle quickly!" the old doctor advised.

Xiao Yan nodded, but didn't take it too seriously.

The Dou Qi vortex can't store too much Dou Qi, so can't he think of any other way?

"Teacher, you know very well that for so many years, I have devoted myself to cultivating Dou Qi. I don't know anything about Dou Techniques." Xiao Yan frowned and looked at Yao Lao with considerable frustration.

Seeing Xiao Yan's appearance, Yao Lao, who already knew his personality quite well, shook his head helplessly, knowing he was going to have to spend a lot of money again.

After thinking for a moment, Yao Laoda chuckled twice, shook his head, and then said with a smile, "Fine, what can I do? I've been stuck with a poor disciple like you. To prevent you from being crippled, I'll teach you a thing or two."

"Since your strength is not yet strong, I will first teach you a Xuan-rank combat technique known for its offensive power. This combat technique does not have high requirements; even a fifth level of Dou Qi can unleash some power. Given your current situation of scarce Dou Qi, it is extremely suitable."

The old apothecary raised his hand to his brow, tried hard to recall, and muttered, "I remember that this high-level Xuan-rank combat skill was something someone begged me to accept back then, but I'm not very interested in these things. If I hadn't been so annoyed by their entanglement, I wouldn't have helped them refine the pills."

His nonchalant, dismissive manner was as if he were talking about trash on the ground.

Xiao Yan leaned against the wall. His Xuan rank was not weak. With his extraordinary comprehension, he would be able to upgrade to an unimaginable rank sooner or later.

The old apothecary slowly opened his eyes: "If I hadn't encountered your situation today, I would have almost forgotten about it."

"Close your eyes and calm your mind, I will pass it on to you." After Xiao Yan sat up again, Yao Lao pointed his finger and gently touched Xiao Yan's forehead.

A flood of information rushed into his mind, but with his soul power approaching the low level of the mortal realm, Xiao Yan felt no discomfort in the face of this sudden information.

"Eight Extremes Collapse: A high-level Xuan-rank combat skill, a close-combat combat skill renowned for its formidable attack power. When mastered, the attack contains eight layers of internal energy, which, when combined, create a power comparable to a low-level Di-rank combat skill!"

This was indeed Xiao Yan's first time encountering fighting techniques. As the third young master of the Xiao family, he had absolutely no chance of fighting before the age of eleven.

Powerful fighting techniques almost always require terrifying fighting energy, and even if he comprehends them, he doesn't have the corresponding conditions to unleash them.

Therefore, studying combat techniques would undoubtedly be a waste of Xiao Yan's precious time.

For him, studying fighting spirit and soul power was more important.

After carefully studying the information about the Eight Extremes Collapse Fighting Technique, Xiao Yan slowly walked out of the cave. After reading through the entire information, he stared at a tree about the size of a large bowl not far away, eager to try it out.

The old doctor poured cold water on the situation, saying, "Although the Eight Extremes Collapse doesn't require too much fighting spirit, it does require a great deal of physical strength. It's a close-quarters combat technique."

While one can rely on aptitude to cultivate battle qi and achieve terrifying progress, cultivating battle techniques requires diligent practice time and time again.

Thinking about the upcoming training arrangements, the old doctor couldn't help but chuckle jokingly: "Look at your skinny arms and legs, even if you were to use it, it would probably be your muscles that break first, not your opponent. High-level Xuan-rank combat techniques aren't so easy to master..."

"Eight Extremes Collapse!"

A clear, cold shout suddenly rang out among the trees on the mountaintop.

Xiao Yan stomped his foot on the ground and instantly transformed into an incredibly agile shadow.

The shadow abruptly stopped in front of a large tree, as thick as a large bowl. It shifted its feet, leaned slightly, and slammed its elbow into the tree.

With a muffled thud, wood chips flew everywhere, and spiderweb-like cracks spread and extended along the point of the elbow strike.

"Creak..." The large tree, which had been blasted with a large hole by an elbow strike, creaked and shook, and after a moment, it finally collapsed weakly to the ground.

As the tree fell, the nimble figure, as agile as a monkey, stepped back first and then floated lightly backward.

Looking at his achievements, Xiao Yan smiled slightly. This fighting technique was indeed extraordinary in close combat.

Having personally experienced it, Xiao Yan gained a deeper understanding of how powerful this fighting technique could be compared to a level-one fighting skill.

"Teacher, what did you just say?" Xiao Yan turned his head to look at the floating Yao Lao beside him and asked in confusion.

Looking at Xiao Yan's innocent face, Yao Lao exclaimed in his heart: What a prodigy!

The Eight Extremes Collapse is a high-level Xuan-rank combat skill. Even a cultivation genius cannot master it without three months of diligent practice.

Xiao Yan had only received the information about the fighting technique, yet he used it casually. Judging from his speed and power just now, he was in no way inferior to someone who had cultivated for a year.

Such comprehension is truly terrifying!

"Ahem, listen carefully next time." The old doctor coughed lightly and continued, "Don't be so smug just because you just used Eight Extremes Collapse. Its power is truly an insult to its rank as a high-level Xuan-level combat skill. When will you..."

The old man searched the woods for a moment, finally spotting a huge tree that an adult could barely encircle. He pointed at it and said, "Only when you break it will you be considered to have unleashed a high-level Xuan-rank combat skill. If you also master that hidden force, then the Eight Extremes Collapse can unleash power comparable to a Di-rank combat skill."

"This tree..." Xiao Yan slowly walked forward, circled it once, and nodded thoughtfully, "It's worth a try."

"Don't be too cocky, kid!" The old doctor was about to say this when he suddenly stopped. Anyway, this kid had good medicine, so even if he suffered a loss, he could recover quickly.

The old doctor also greatly admired Xiao Yan's talent in medicine and pharmacology.

Although Xiao Yan has not yet become an alchemist, he already has a thorough understanding of all herbs. The pills and powders he can easily make with the skills of a physician are almost as good as those of a first-grade alchemist.

Suffering a loss is a blessing; it's better to let them suffer some losses. The old doctor nodded slightly in his heart and quietly watched from the side.

Xiao Yan took a deep breath, clenched his fist, which was covered with a pale yellow fighting spirit. After a brief silence, he let out a loud shout, as if a thunderbolt had struck out of nowhere, and punched the tree trunk with a loud bang.

"Eight Extremes Collapse!"

With Xiao Yan's current strength, although he couldn't break the tree in two with a single punch, his fist would be deeply embedded in the trunk.

To Xiao Yan's surprise, when he withdrew his fist, the tree that Yao Lao had pointed to, which was so large that it would take an adult to encircle it, was completely undamaged, with not even a crack in the bark.

"You little rascal, are you playing a trick on me?" The old apothecary frowned, but quickly realized something was wrong.

Bang!

A muffled thud suddenly came from inside the tree that Xiao Yan's fist had struck.

"Hidden force!" Yao Lao looked at the big tree in shock, as if he had been struck by lightning, and stood there dumbfounded in mid-air.
