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

Chapter 19 Refining the Magic Core, Fireball

Of the three elements—battle qi, physical strength, and soul power—Xiao Yan's battle qi strength is the weakest, while his soul power is the strongest.

Even if the Blazing Flame Leopard had advanced to the second-tier magical beast level, it would still be difficult for it to escape Xiao Yan's senses.

Xiao Yan's powerful soul perception gives him the ability to anticipate his enemies' moves.

The Fiery Leopard was similar in strength to Xiao Yan, who was under the suppression of the Xuan Heavy Ruler, but Xiao Yan could see through its attacks at any time, which widened the gap immediately.

The hidden energy converged into a single point, and a dark yellow light surged out from the body of the Blazing Flame Leopard. With a loud bang, the Blazing Flame Leopard's body exploded completely, and flesh, blood, and broken bones scattered everywhere.

Only one fiery red magic core was spinning on the grass.

"This is!" Yao Lao suddenly burst out of the Bone Flame Ring, looking at the once tranquil forest now shrouded in a layer of blood, and was horrified.

If Xiao Yan weren't just a two-star Dou Zhe with scarce Dou Qi, it would be hard to imagine how immense this power would be!

Xiao Yan plopped down on the grass, panting heavily: "Eight Extremes Sky-Piercing Cannon, connect the hidden force of the Eight Extremes Collapse into a straight line, and resolve the time difference between the hidden force intervals."

Xiao Yan stared in horror at the pile of flesh and blood, now devoid of any remains: "Its power is truly terrifying. The beast's fur, bones, and flesh are all destroyed, leaving only a demonic core."

Pressing down the spinning demonic core, Xiao Yan held it in his hand, the warmth making his slightly numb palm feel very comfortable.

This move not only has strict requirements for fighting spirit, but also has higher requirements for physical fitness than the Eight Extremes Collapse.

"To be able to cultivate the Eight Extremes Collapse to this level in such a short time, what a terrifying little fellow!" Yao Lao exclaimed in astonishment.

This is a high-level Xuan-rank combat skill. The Eight Extremes Collapse has extremely high requirements for the physical body, and it is difficult for ordinary people to meet the requirements for cultivation.

Although the requirements for battle qi are not high, it is only the simplest Eight Extremes Collapse. To use hidden force and perform the complete Eight Extremes Collapse, the requirements for battle qi are not low.

The so-called "not high" is only relative to other powerful fighting techniques.

Otherwise, high-level Xuan-rank combat skills, or combat skills comparable to Di-rank skills, would be like wild potatoes by the roadside, which anyone could cultivate and use.

Xiao Yan not only mastered the extremely difficult-to-cultivate Dark Force in a short period of time, but also made other breakthroughs and creations. This kind of genius was a first for Yao Lao.

Ordinary geniuses can at most quickly master existing techniques and fighting skills. Those who can innovate upon what they have learned are all beings whose strength has advanced to a terrifying level.

Xiao Yan had only just begun to fight and cultivate, and within a single day he had already made significant progress, his comprehension was truly heaven-defying!

As a teacher, while Yao Lao was delighted for him, he also solemnly warned him: "Your battle qi consumption is even greater. After you use it, you will have no more battle qi to use."

Xiao Yan blinked. Even if one reaches the Dou Shi level, if one's cultivation technique does not advance, it would probably be difficult to perfectly demonstrate the Eight Extremes Sky-Piercing Break, where eight streams of hidden energy converge into one line.

It should be noted that what he just used was only a barely condensed three streams.

To further enhance internal strength on this foundation, the required battle qi will increase significantly.

With a soft "hmm," Xiao Yan carefully put away the two medicinal herbs, took the first-tier fire-attribute magic core, and quickly left the area.

The strong stench of blood here will attract countless magical beasts, and he currently has no battle aura to fight them.

After walking for more than twenty minutes, Xiao Yan found a secluded place and used the Burning Technique to restore his Dou Qi.

This time it was serious cultivation. After carefully observing Xiao Yan absorbing the energy of heaven and earth and confirming that his speed was comparable to that of a high-level Yellow Rank cultivation technique, Yao Lao was once again shocked by Xiao Yan's terrifying talent.

If it weren't for the hindrance of this Burning Technique, Xiao Yan could have easily switched to a Profound-Rank technique, and with his talent, his cultivation speed would have been even more terrifying.

After quickly restoring his Dou Qi to full strength, Xiao Yan felt that his strength had been significantly enhanced after the battle.

It seems this battle isn't just about honing combat skills; it's also incredibly beneficial for cultivation. The saying "destruction precedes construction" suggests that life-or-death crises can ignite one's cultivation.

Xiao Yan slowly opened his dark eyes and took out one of his spoils from this battle: the fire-attribute magic core of the Blazing Flame Leopard.

Xiao Yan was no stranger to magic cores; he had practically been playing with them since childhood.

He even created magic core puppets when he was a child to make Xun'er and the others happy.

Unfortunately, at that time he only possessed Dou Qi, and the Xiao family's strength was limited, so they could not provide higher-grade materials, and the research speed reached a bottleneck.

Comprehension and resources are both indispensable for cultivation.

[With your years of experience researching puppets and using magic cores, and your fire-attribute battle aura, you've had an epiphany; you've mastered the method for creating fireballs.]

The method for creating a Flame Bullet involves activating fire-attribute battle qi to connect with the energy within a fire-attribute magic core, drawing runes, and guiding the raging energy.

The creation of this fireball requires extremely high spiritual power; otherwise, there is a risk of self-immolation.

Once the fireball is completed and activated, it will explode violently shortly afterward.

Xiao Yan knew that his internal fighting spirit was too scarce due to his cultivation technique, so the more trump cards he had, the better.

Slowly closing his eyes, Xiao Yan carefully sensed the energy of the demon core with his soul power, and a wisp of pale yellow battle qi was slowly transmitted out.

He had done the task of drawing communication energy patterns many times on puppet bodies when he was a child, and now that he was doing it on the magic core, his strength had increased, so it was not too difficult.

After a full meal's time, Xiao Yan's intense concentration caused beads of sweat the size of soybeans to appear on his forehead.

Looking at Xiao Yan, who seemed quite tense at the moment, Yao Lao murmured in confusion, "What's this kid doing instead of cultivating?"

However, the old doctor did not disturb him rashly.

When all the patterns on the demon core merged into one, the round demon core burst forth with a dazzling red light. At this moment, Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.

Looking at the shimmering magic core in his hand, Xiao Yan smiled with satisfaction. Killing a Dou Shi might be difficult, but if a Dou Zhe gets hit, he will definitely die.

At this moment, the old alchemist spoke up: "Don't even think about using the magic core for cultivation. The energy of this thing is extremely violent, unless you have mastered the methods of an alchemist."

"Teacher, just wait and see the show." Xiao Yan stood up with a smile, pulling out the Xuan Heavy Ruler from the side: "Let's continue searching for medicinal herbs. We've only found two so far."

Xiao Yan has extremely high comprehension. Yao Lao didn't say much, but pointed to the nearest location of usable medicinal herbs: "You're quite lucky this time. Those are unclaimed herbs, so you don't need to fight. This will speed up your gathering process."
