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

Chapter 26 Sudden Enlightenment in the Face of Battle

With a low shout from Xiao Yan, the flame mark between his eyebrows suddenly surged with spiritual power.

A fiery red light emanated from between his eyebrows, and in the blink of an eye, Xiao Yan seemed to be draped in a faint red energy cloak.

A flash of red light entered Xiao Yan's body, and the red energy coat became faintly visible, as if it would shatter at any moment.

Pure battle qi flowed through his body, and Xiao Yan's exhausted body was once again filled with a renewed power.

With a heavy stomp of his foot on the ground, a recoil force surged through his wrist. Relying on this force, Xiao Yan unleashed the Xuan Heavy Ruler with immense power.

The five mercenaries had no idea that Xiao Yan, having exhausted his strength, had generated an even stronger new force. This force was immediately violently pushed back, as if swept away by a raging storm.

"A martial arts gauze robe, a martial arts master?!" A middle-aged mercenary steadied himself and shouted in terror as if he had seen a savage monster.

Hermon was taken aback, but having just been tricked, his mind sharpened considerably. He slapped the middle-aged mercenary across the face and roared:

"The Battle Qi Veil is the first move every Battle Master makes before battle. If this kid were a Battle Master, he would have used it long ago; why wait until he's at his wit's end? Besides, is such a young Battle Master something he cultivated from the womb?"

Something was definitely wrong that the middle-aged mercenary was beaten so badly that he had no chance to fight back.

Hermon analyzed based on his own knowledge: "This must be some kind of secret method to stimulate life force in exchange for power, it can't last long."

"Form ranks! Wear him down!" Hermon became increasingly excited. Just how many good things did this black-robed youth have on him?

Yao Lao's voice echoed in Xiao Yan's mind: "Your second Dou Qi vortex is indeed powerful. The Dou Qi you consumed was instantly restored. You are currently only a Dou Zhe, but if you can use it continuously when you reach the Dou Shi or Da Dou Shi realms in the future, it will be a great advantage in battle."

Having personally demonstrated what he had created, Xiao Yan did not rush to attack, but instead experienced the difference between theory and practice.

The mercenary had a point. After the Flame Seal released all his battle qi at once, he did indeed have a layer of something resembling a battle qi veil on his body. Unfortunately, the amount of battle qi was too small, so it had almost no power. If his battle qi increased in the future, it might be able to produce an effect that surpassed the battle qi veil.

The old doctor gave a final, serious reminder: "The remaining six mercenaries are not useless either. Don't let them capsize at the last moment."

Looking at the six mercenaries who had formed a vertical line, Xiao Yan roughly understood their intentions; it was indeed a relatively safe approach at the moment.

"Let's give it a try!" Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yan charged out with the Xuan Heavy Ruler in hand.

His figure moved with ghostly speed, forcing Hermon to rely on his keen senses to anticipate his attack: "High-level Yellow Rank Combat Technique, Rock Crystal Gauntlets!"

He slowly spread his fists in front of him, his legs tensed, and the strands of hair on his head stood up straight. A faint white aura flashed rapidly in his eyes.

His pale muscles throbbed continuously, and a fierce power rapidly condensed into his two fists, which were as big as sandbags. Under the influence of the pale battle aura, his fists seemed to be wearing a layer of crystal gauntlets.

The instant Hemon finished unleashing his fighting technique, Xiao Yan was already three feet away from him. He stomped heavily on the ground, raised the Xuanzhong Ruler high above his head, and slashed at Hemon with all his might.

A sharp gust of wind swept in, and Hermon immediately swung his arm to block it.

Hermon felt an irresistible force travel from his fists to his entire body, and the ground beneath his feet sank, with cracks rapidly spreading outwards.

The force swept over him like a whirlwind, causing Hermon's body to feel an unprecedented impact. He gritted his teeth, trying his best to steady himself, clenching his fists and unleashing the full power of the crystal gauntlets.

Just as the two were locked in a stalemate, two mercenaries behind Hermon, wielding iron spears, swung their spears and thrust fiercely, their wind-attribute fighting techniques swiftly aimed at Xiao Yan's shoulder.

With a swift turn of his Xuanzhong Ruler, the heavy ruler, like a thick shield, once again blocked a fatal attack for Xiao Yan.

With the help of the two attacks, Xiao Yan gracefully retreated more than ten meters away.

Seeing Xiao Yan forced back, He Meng smiled smugly, as if he were looking at prey he was about to catch.

"You've killed over twenty wolf-headed mercenaries; you have every reason to be proud. But no matter how powerful you are, you won't break through my formation!"

What a solid fighting technique! Xiao Yan was surprised when he saw He Meng's slightly dim hands.

"Don't think you're invincible just because you're a chosen one. He's cultivated for twenty or thirty years longer than you." The old doctor smiled and analyzed, "With him leading the way, unless you're fast enough to pass through all six people at once and get behind them, it will be a tough battle."

"No need for such trouble." Slowly closing his eyes, Xiao Yan quickly reviewed his battle experiences over the past day, and a flash of inspiration suddenly amplified in his mind.

[Through your experience and deduction of the Eight Extremes Sky-Piercing Cannon's power generation method, you've had an epiphany! You've mastered a completely new fighting technique: Stellar Transformation - Wolf Fang Sky-Piercing!]

【Stellar Transformation: The eight meridians converge into a vortex of energy, focusing the mind on a single thought with the power of a mountain. Once activated, it will concentrate all its power into a single point, launching an explosive attack. It will strike the opponent quickly with sudden, powerful, and uninterrupted attacks, almost completely abandoning defense and focusing on offense, emphasizing preemptive strikes.

Specific move: Wolf Fang Pierces the Sky!

Xiao Yan suddenly opened his eyes, his body sank slightly, and his fighting spirit surged out like waves, making his body as dazzling as starlight.

The Xuanzhong Ruler in his hand instantly became the center of the storm, with battle qi gathering like brilliant stars in the night.

Countless battle qi converged into the Xuan Heavy Ruler. Xiao Yan's power was highly concentrated, and with a whoosh, he shot towards He Meng like an arrow released from a bow. His figure was as fast as lightning, leaving behind an afterimage.

"Stellar Transformation - Wolf Fang Pierces the Sky!"

In the blink of an eye, Hermon only felt a blur before his eyes and instinctively raised his fist to block.

However, at that instant, a powerful force was released from the Xuanzhong Ruler.

It was a dazzling burst of energy, as spectacular as a falling star. It tore through the air, leaving a long trail that destroyed all obstacles in its path.

Hermon never imagined that Xiao Yan's attack would undergo such a dramatic change in just a few breaths, even though he cultivated the strongest defensive rock-based Dou Qi!

"This!" Before the old doctor could react, all six mercenaries... were dead in an instant!

Only after the mercenary's corpse fell completely to the ground did Yao Lao realize from Xiao Yan's fighting technique that the Eight Extremes Sky-Piercing Cannon was a lightning-fast, charged attack, but even more extreme than the Eight Extremes Sky-Piercing Cannon.

Xiao Yan has been cultivating Dou Qi for the past ten years, and he only recently came into contact with Dou Techniques.

Having only been exposed to it for such a short time, they were able to apply their knowledge to other situations and come up with new ideas.

His comprehension in combat skills training is truly astonishing.

Xiao Yan took a deep breath; he was also a heavy consumer of battle qi. However, thinking of the spoils of war that the mercenaries in the camp had amassed, he said excitedly, "We've collected the spoils."
