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

Chapter 18 Sudden Enlightenment and Upgrade: Eight Extremes Sky-Piercing Cannon

The old apothecary added, "Once you enter this Monster Mountain Range, besides searching for medicinal herbs and magic cores, I will remind you to acquire them as well."

"Everything else depends on yourself. I won't help you unless you're in a life-or-death situation."

After stretching his wrists, Xiao Yan wasn't surprised at all; he knew this would happen. Helplessly, he walked towards a forest ahead.

In the forest, there was a large clearing where a huge leopard, its body entirely fiery red, lay crouching.

This leopard was massive, its fiery red fur gleaming like a burning flame in the sunlight, its bulging muscles showcasing the beast's formidable strength.

"You just came straight here like that?" Yao Lao asked in surprise upon returning to the Bone Inflame Ring.

"It's just a small leopard, I prefer to get it right the first time!" Xiao Yan glanced around and quickly found the two medicinal herbs that Yao Lao had mentioned.

"Blazing Grass and Blazing Sun Flower, these two herbs look like they've been around for thirty to fifty years. If they were in the market, they could sell for at least one or two thousand gold coins. And these are just two of them. If I really had to spend money to buy the materials, I couldn't afford it."

Having a thorough understanding of medicinal herbs, Xiao Yan recognized the value of the two herbs at a glance and shook his head with a wry smile.

"Roar~" Sensing that an uninvited guest was criticizing its precious pet, the Fiery Leopard angrily opened its eyes, which seemed to be burning with raging fire.

"Good luck to you. These Blazing Leopards are extremely fast, and a few of them even possess the ability to go berserk. Once they unleash it, not only will their already incredibly fast speed increase further, but their strength will also increase."

After the old apothecary chuckled, the Bone Inflame Ring that had been possessing him remained silent.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yan stomped his foot hard on the ground, the immense force causing the ground to sink three inches, and cracks rapidly spreading outwards.

With a deafening roar, Xiao Yan shot out like a cannonball, instantly transforming into a black shadow as he charged towards the Crimson Flame Leopard, which was several times his size. His fist glowed with a dense yellow light: "Eight Extremes Collapse!"

Yao Lao didn't really abandon Xiao Yan. Although he was inside the Bone Flame Ring, he was constantly observing Xiao Yan's situation outside.

Such speed! If it weren't for the Xuanzhong Ruler suppressing his speed, this Blazing Leopard probably wouldn't even know how he died.

Having just stood up, the Fiery Leopard had no idea that a tiny human could unleash such speed.

However, it was no weakling. Flames rose all over its body again, and as the red light flowed, its muscles swelled to an exaggerated degree.

The massive body suddenly turned ninety degrees, and as the Fiery Leopard dodged Xiao Yan's attack, its thick tail, like a flaming whip, lashed fiercely at Xiao Yan's face with a series of whooshing sounds.

Xiao Yan's keen soul perception spread all around, and he could see almost every move of the Blazing Leopard.

Xiao Yan's soul power has always been far superior to that of ordinary people since childhood. After cultivating techniques to enhance his soul power, he has almost reached the low level of the mortal realm.

Don't underestimate the Mortal Realm, which is only the most basic soul realm; it is already more than 90% of the alchemists in the Dou Qi Continent.

Many alchemists never learn about the realm of the soul in their entire lives.

Xiao Yan spun around with uncanny speed, his right elbow striking out with a sharp, whistling sound: "Dark Force!"

It slammed heavily onto the fiery red body of the Blazing Leopard, the sound like muffled thunder echoing through the forest.

An immense force, like a tidal wave, was unleashed, instantly sending the Fiery Leopard flying and kicking up a cloud of dust.

Bang!Bang!

Two muffled thuds suddenly rang out from the smoke and dust, originating from the body of the Blazing Leopard, before crashing heavily into a towering ancient tree.

For a moment, the entire forest seemed to tremble, and the air was filled with the smell of fire.

Bang!

Immediately following was another muffled thud, though this one was much quieter than the previous two, yet it still caused the ancient tree to sway unsteadily.

The old doctor was startled: his understanding of the Eight Extremes Collapse had deepened again, with three hidden forces!

However, it was slightly lacking; the time interval was too large, giving the Blazing Flame Leopard time to recover. Yao Lao was slightly disappointed, but at this point, Xiao Yan had only been learning the Eight Extremes Collapse technique for a day, already making him an extraordinary figure.

"Hoo~" Xiao Yan exhaled a breath of turbid air. This low-level Yellow Rank Burning Technique really has very little Dou Qi.

He has some ideas on how to solve this problem, but it will take some time before he can actually put them into practice.

The air suddenly trembled, and a blinding flash of fire suddenly appeared from the smoke and dust, followed by a wave of heat that dispersed the dust.

"Be careful, it's gone berserk!" Yao Lao warned.

At this moment, the flames on the Blazing Leopard's body were even more intense, as if it had set itself ablaze. Its eyes were like two bright red lanterns, and its breath was spitting out flames.

It can be clearly seen that the Fiery Leopard's left hind leg is covered in blood, revealing its stark white bones. Cracks have appeared on the bones, as if they are about to shatter at any moment. This is clearly an injury caused by Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan nodded slightly. His attack just now hit the blazing leopard's hind leg, and its power was indeed extraordinary, but it was not fatal, especially against a magical beast with terrifying physical strength.

Based on your experience in using the Eight Extremes Collapsing Dark Force, you had an epiphany; you had an epiphany about the combat technique "Eight Extremes Sky-Piercing Cannon."

[The Eight Extremes Sky-Piercing Cannon unleashes all the hidden power of the Eight Extremes Collapse in one go, condensing it into a single line. The eight hidden forces combine into one, and its power is comparable to a low-level combat skill.]

Xiao Yan's lips slowly curled up. His extraordinary comprehension was not only limited to thinking-based enlightenment; practical experience could also make his extraordinary comprehension come into play.

He had already used the Eight Extremes Collapse technique several times. With his strong comprehension, he was able to achieve this minor breakthrough and resolve the issue of the gaps between the internal forces.

Having suffered such a severe injury for the first time, the Fiery Leopard was not only physically berserk, but also mentally.

Enrage overshadowed the excruciating pain in the Fiery Leopard's body, and it immediately launched a fierce attack.

Despite its severely injured hind legs, its speed was still several times faster than before thanks to the berserk boost.

A burst of fiery red lightning flashed, leaving behind a series of afterimages.

Xiao Yan felt a wave of heat wash over him. His dark eyes locked onto the Blazing Flame Leopard's location, and he suddenly threw a punch, slamming it hard into the leopard's jaws: "Eight Extremes... Skyward Cannon!"

Three streams of hidden energy converged into a single line, and all of Xiao Yan's fighting spirit surged forth like a tidal wave.

The Fiery Leopard's eyes widened in disbelief. It had already unleashed its berserk mode and increased its speed, so why was this human's attack still a step ahead?
