Douluo Continent Chat Group: Building My Academy

Where did the fire effects in Chapter 112 come from?

As they watched the two players on the field, everyone around the training ground quickly turned their attention to them.

"Let's see what it's really like," Xiao Zhan and the three elders on the high platform also turned their gazes, their hearts filled with unease.

The three elders hoped it was false, so everything would continue as before; Xiao Zhan hoped it was true, for no reason.

"It's absolutely fake!" At the edge of the square, Xiao Ke licked his dry lips and muttered fiercely in a low voice. It was both a form of pre-battle trash talk and a way to encourage himself.

"What did you say?"

Having just completed the pre-fight etiquette, Xiao Yan looked up in confusion, flames already burning on his palm.

The dazzling light attracted the attention of most people, but upon closer inspection, it seemed to be just a faint wisp of fighting spirit.

"What is that?"

Xiao Ke, who also had his fighting spirit swirling around his hands, was stunned to find that there were no flame effects at all. The difference between his friend and his foe seemed to be quite large.

Theoretically speaking, low-level combat doesn't feel dazzling at all; it's just like the simplest clashes, no different from hand-to-hand combat in an octagon.

So, strengthening one's body can indeed turn defeat into victory. However, looking at the flames in Xiao Yan's hand, Xiao Ke felt that they were not from the same style.

Where did you get those special effects from?!

No, I can't think about it anymore!

"Mountain-Splitting Palm!"

With a loud roar, Xiao Ke swiftly closed in on Xiao Yan, his right palm, imbued with Dou Qi, slashing diagonally towards Xiao Yan's chest.

Mountain-Splitting Palm, a mid-level Yellow Rank combat skill, is only worthy of being learned by clansmen with a Dou Qi level of five or above!

It's not worthy of the name; it's impossible for it to actually split a mountain, but it's possible for it to split a rockery in a garden.

Looking at Xiao Ke who was rushing towards him like a gorilla, Xiao Yan's eyes remained completely calm.

Was this guy always this slow?

Just as his palm was about to reach Xiao Yan's shoulder, he did not move at all. He simply raised his hand calmly, and the burning flame-like fighting spirit solidified slightly.

Fire Fist!

Fire Fist, a basic attack from the Flame-Flame Fruit, can be activated as long as one can move normally.

"boom!"

A thick pillar of fire rose up, engulfing Xiao Ke's raised hand head-on, and then enveloping his entire body.

Xiao Ke, who was hit, couldn't even utter a word, and his body was lifted into the air along with the flames.

There was no burning sound, but the light and heat still illuminated most of the training ground.

Xiao Yan calculated the time, then snapped his fingers crisply, casually extinguishing the flames on Xiao Ke's body, revealing a corpse lying there, its fate unknown.

There was a slight burnt brown tint, which made Xiao Ke's skin tone several shades darker, but his clothes were intact and there was no exposure.

Xiao Ke was only unconscious due to lack of oxygen; he was still breathing through his nose, and his chest was rising and falling intermittently.

Before losing consciousness, Xiao Ke had only one thought in his mind: the flames were real!

The entire arena fell silent. Xiao Ke's defeat perfectly confirmed certain facts, or rather, Xiao Yan's casually unleashed special effects shocked everyone.

Xiao Yan felt nothing after defeating his opponent with a single punch. He was not even as good as the big tree on the back mountain. I'm afraid I'll forget about you after dinner.

Unlike Xiao Yan's indifference, most people outside the arena fell silent.

Whether Xiao Yan faked it or not is no longer important. What's important is how the special effects of his punch were created!

"Brother Xiao Yan————"

Even Xun'er looked at Xiao Yan in surprise, her eyes filled with doubt. Could it be that the Xiao family—no, isn't this better!

Thinking about the future, Xun'er's smile blossomed even more.

Without a doubt, Xiao Yan's recovery is now a certainty, and it's even more terrifying than the fact that he's recovered!

On the high platform, Xiao Zhan let out a heavy sigh of relief, the huge weight in his heart lifted, but another huge weight followed.

Where does Yan'er's flame come from? Could it be that her ancestors have appeared to her?

"Xiao Yan—Cousin—"

Looking at the charred brown marks on Xiao Ke's body, Xiao Mei slowly covered her red lips with her small hand and murmured in a low voice, as if the distance between them had become even greater.

"Nephew Xiao Ke failed the challenge; I hope he will strive to improve his skills in the future!"

Finally, Xiao Zhan delivered his verdict from the high platform, thus ending the challenge.

Even though Xiao Ke could no longer hear, everyone else could hear it clearly.

Xiao Yan not only recovered successfully, but he is even more terrifying than before!

Nodding indifferently, Xiao Yan was still thinking about where to eat and what to eat with Xun'er later.

He walked slowly off the stage, occasionally making eye contact with people in the audience, but anyone who met his dark eyes would look away in fear.

No one, at least not at this moment, dared to step forward and challenge Xiao Yan's special effects.

After sitting down next to Xun'er, the challenge officially began a while later.

Looking at Xiao Yan sitting down beside her, Xun'er smiled sweetly, wanting to say a lot, but in the end only one sentence came out.

"Brother Xiao Yan, you have so many secrets~"

The others are irrelevant; Xun'er wants to talk about some personal matters now.

"My secret? How can that compare to Xun'er?" Xiao Yan touched his nose, not knowing why he said such a thing. Perhaps it was because of his teacher's reminder, otherwise he would always keep it to himself.

"Then—now that I've seen Brother Xiao Yan's secret, does Brother Xiao Yan also want to see mine?" Xun'er blinked her bright, watery eyes playfully.

"Your secret?"

Xiao Yan was taken aback. His gaze met Xun'er's smiling eyes, and he suddenly realized something.

Ruffled Xun'er's hair and said with a light laugh, "As long as you're willing, Xun'er."

"Well then, tonight—"

Xun'er opened her pink lips, leaned close to Xiao Yan's ear, and began to speak, word by word.

Xiao Yan blinked, seemingly understanding but not quite.

Those who witnessed this scene instinctively looked away; the two were in love, and it was none of their business.

Even Xiao Ning temporarily ignored Xun'er, staring intently at Xiao Yan with a mixture of fear, jealousy, and apprehension, his breath coming in ragged gasps.

In the end, Xiao Ning looked away and closed her eyes with a hint of sadness.

The ninth level of Dou Qi, even though he is only at the eighth level now, this difference, coupled with Xiao Yan's flames that are enough to shock him.

What exactly did that kid go through in those eleven months?!

In the end, only two people, relying on their skilled fighting techniques and a bit of luck, managed to defeat their opponents and successfully enter the qualifying area.

Xiao Yan watched, lost in thought. He remembered his teacher saying that body cultivation was also a path, so the training of the Eight Extremes Collapse technique was truly—

We cannot fall behind.

Looking at the training ground that was gradually calming down, Xiao Zhan, with a big smile on his face, stood up and loudly announced the end of the test, as well as some things to pay attention to at the coming-of-age ceremony a month later.

Slowly standing up, Xiao Yan nodded slightly to Xiao Zhan, who was beaming with pride on the high platform. Xiao Zhan smiled back, but then looked puzzled.

Let's have a long-awaited father-son talk with Yan'er tonight.
