Battle Through the Heavens: The Soul Emperor's Only Daughter, I Am the Young Master of the Soul

Chapter 17 Burning Technique, a cultivation method capable of evolution.

Xiao Yan's eyes lit up. "The Burning Technique? Is that a Heaven-rank or Earth-rank technique?"

Yao Chen frowned and shook his head. "That technique is even more bizarre than a Heaven-rank technique, and it's far too dangerous. Let's forget about it."

"Even more bizarre than a Heaven-Rank cultivation technique?" Xiao Yan's interest was instantly piqued, and he asked with bright, sparkling eyes, "What level of cultivation technique is it?"

"Low-level Yellow Rank"

Yao Chen's calm voice immediately froze Xiao Yan's expectant expression.

"Old man, are you kidding me?" Xiao Yan roared angrily, then looked at Hun Qinghao with suppressed rage and complained, "Junior sister, this is the cultivation technique you said was suitable for me? What good is a low-level Yellow Rank?"

Hun Qinghao sat on the tree, looking down at Xiao Yan with disdain. "So what if you're a low-level Yellow Rank? It's because your soul power is too weak right now, and you can't cultivate the Soul-Seizing Technique I gave you."

"Besides, that Burning Technique isn't always a low-level Yellow Rank technique; it can evolve. Otherwise, how could it be said to be even more bizarre than a Heaven Rank technique!"

Upon hearing this, Yao Chen glanced at Hun Qinghao with a strange look. He had never told her about the Burning Technique, so how did this little girl know so much about it?

As for Xiao Yan, his pupils dilated, and he stared intently at Hun Qinghao without blinking. After a long while, he shook his head and affirmed, "Impossible! I've never heard of any cultivation technique that can evolve!"

Just as Hun Qing was about to mock Xiao Yan, Yao Chen spoke up disdainfully, "Tch, you little brat, you've barely even left Wutan City a few times, what could you possibly know?"

"You!" Xiao Yan glared at Yao Chen, who had made sarcastic remarks, then retorted, "Old man, have you ever heard of other cultivation techniques that can evolve?"

Yao Chen's smile froze slightly, and Hun Qinghao chimed in, "Of course! My innate cultivation technique, Black Lotus Sacrifice, can evolve!"

"Your Black Lotus Sacrifice can evolve?" This time it was Yao Chen's turn to be shocked, looking at Hun Qinghao in disbelief.

He originally thought that the only cultivation technique that could evolve on the Dou Qi Continent was the Burning Technique, but he never expected that the technique that the little girl always talked about could also evolve.

"Hmm!" Hun Qing crossed her arms and raised her head arrogantly.

From a first-grade black lotus to a complete twelfth-grade lotus, and with the right opportunity, it can even break through to the twenty-fourth grade. How can this not be considered an evolution?

Xiao Yan looked at the old man in front of him and the girl in the tree, and felt a pang of jealousy.

These guys all have such mysterious backgrounds and origins, while he's just a greenhorn who doesn't know anything!

"Can it really evolve?" Seeing the extremely serious expressions on Hun Qinghao and Yao Chen's faces, Xiao Yan couldn't help but ask again.

"It really can evolve!" The two nodded with great certainty.

"Who has cultivated this technique?" Xiao Yan asked again.

"Uh...no." Yao Laogan shook his head with a smile. He himself thought the technique was too dangerous and didn't practice it. He also refused to give it to his traitorous disciple Han Feng, who wanted it.

As for Qing'er, she has no shortage of good cultivation techniques, and he never thought of letting her cultivate the dangerous Burning Technique.

"No one has ever cultivated it, so how did you two know it could evolve?" Xiao Yan clenched his fists and roared angrily, veins bulging on his forehead.

The old man and the little witch are talking nicely, but they just want to use him as a guinea pig for their experiments, right?

Hun Qinghao frowned, clearly displeased with Xiao Yan's attitude. She flew down and slapped Xiao Yan on the head, saying, "Why are you being so fierce? That's how it's described in the manual. Take it or leave it!"

"Why did you hit me again?" Xiao Yan held his head, feeling very aggrieved.

In this world, can't he even question the authenticity? The little witch is too domineering.

"You deserve a beating! I was just trying to be kind, and you dared to contradict me! Who else should I hit but you?!"

After Hun Qing finished speaking, he raised his hand as if to strike again. Seeing this, Xiao Yan quickly covered his head and ran away, saying, "One hit is fine, but hitting me again is going too far!"

After letting out a soft hum, Hun Qinghao reluctantly withdrew his hand.

Watching the boy and girl interacting affectionately, Yao Chen stroked his beard and revealed a maternal smile.

It's so good to be young!

A young girl in the prime of her youth and a spirited young man—they are a perfect match no matter how you look at them!

But the little girl is still young and doesn't seem to have figured things out yet. If Xiao Yan really has feelings for her, then he'll have to wait a long time!

"Such a technique really exists?" Seeing how angry Hun Qing was, Xiao Yan leaned closer and asked, "Can I take a look?"

Hun Qinghao sneered, "Tch, you want it now, but I'm not willing to give it to you!"

"..."

Xiao Yan's face stiffened, and he muttered softly, "That's not your cultivation technique..."

"You little brat, Xiao Yan, you've only just joined the Soul Palace and you're already showing disrespect to your young master, huh? Let me show you my Heavenly Soul Lock!" Soul Qinghao immediately flew into a rage and threw out the Soul Lock to whip Xiao Yan.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan quickly ran away, shouting as he dodged, "That's right! That's my teacher's technique. He can give it to whomever he wants."

"Shut up! Yao Chen is my alchemist. Don't think that just because you've become his disciple you can get whatever you want. What's his is mine. Without my permission, you can forget about getting anything from him!"

It was the first time Hun Qinghao had shared something with someone, and she was already very unwilling. She hadn't gotten over it even after half a year. Xiao Yan's words were like adding fuel to the fire, instantly igniting the anger in her heart. She chased after Xiao Yan with the Heavenly Soul Lock and lashed out at him.

"You didn't want it when I offered it to you, and now that I'm not happy to give it to you, you're trying to snatch it away!"

"Ah!" Xiao Yan cried out in pain, touching the spot where the Soul Lock had struck him. Although there was no wound, it really hurt.

"Old man, can't you do something about her...?"

Xiao Yan shouted and hid behind Yao Chen.

Seeing this, Hun Qinghao quickly stopped the soul lock, pointed at Xiao Yan, and angrily said, "You come out here! If you have the guts, don't hide, don't force me to get serious!"

Xiao Yan peered around to check on Hun Qinghao's condition, and seeing that she had indeed stopped, he breathed a long sigh of relief.

"You, put down your weapon and I'll leave!"

Hun Qing clenched her fists, her chest heaving violently, and gritted her teeth, saying, "Fine, fine, you insist on making me use spatial magic to capture you!"

"Just you wait, once I catch you, I'll skin you alive, pull out your tendons, fry you in oil, and then feed you to the dogs!"

Xiao Yan: "...Hiss!"

That little witch is so cruel! I should have known better than to talk back to her; she reacted so strongly.

"Little Qing'er, this boy also got whipped, why don't we just let it go?"

Seeing Xiao Yan's pitiful state, Yao Chen couldn't help but plead for him, "If you keep striking him, a mere Dou Zhe like him can't withstand your Soul Lock!"

Xiao Yan nodded frantically behind him, "That's right, that's right..."

"Hmm?" Before Hun Qinghao could say he would let Xiao Yan go, Yao Chen sensed Xiao Xun'er approaching, so he quickly entered the Bone Flame Ring.

Xiao Yan's expression changed drastically.

No! If you leave, who will be able to stop the little witch? He'll really be skinned alive by her!
