Battle Through the Heavens: The Inner Struggle of Cultivation Brings Xiao Yan to Tears

"Stop thinking about anything else," Xiao Yang silently told himself.

"System, claim your reward!"

The next moment, a familiar, cool energy spread throughout my body.

Chapter 20 The Terrifying Effects of the Foundation Building Elixir

Xiao Yang's physique and physical constitution have grown again.

His current physical fitness level is 18, and his bone density level is 28.

If these two attributes are increased by just two points, there will be a dramatic change.

Xiao Yang also knew that every time his attributes increased by a multiple of ten, his talent would undergo a qualitative change.

As for those within multiples of ten, although there has been some improvement, it is not as significant.

After absorbing some battle qi from the Foundation Establishment Elixir, Xiao Yang recovered to his peak condition.

He immediately created a new task.

[Task: Practice Eight Extremes Collapse 1200 times while wearing the special arm guards. Reward: Eight Extremes Collapse Proficiency +1]

Looking at the number 1200 on the task panel, Xiao Yang couldn't help but give a wry smile.

Even now that he has mastered the Eight Extremes Collapse technique and his proficiency has greatly improved, he can still execute it quickly every time. 1200 times.

Even with specially designed arm guards, it's the same.

However, after reaching its peak, the power of the Eight Extremes Collapse increases significantly.

Similarly, the amount of battle energy consumed has also increased.

In other words, he can now use the Eight Extremes Collapse technique less often than before, due to the amount of fighting energy within him.

Previously, it might have been possible to use it twenty times, but now it might only be possible to use it seventeen or eighteen times.

Even with the Foundation Establishment Elixir, it would take him at least four to five months to complete ten proficiency tasks.

"Ugh--"

Thinking of this, Xiao Yang couldn't help but sigh.

However, he quickly adjusted his mindset.

Although it will take another four to five months to perfect the Bajiquan technique.

This speed is probably very slow compared to his previous progress in cultivating combat skills.

However, if someone else were to cultivate the Eight Extremes Collapse, it would take an unknown amount of time to develop eight layers of hidden strength and unleash the power of a low-level Earth-rank combat skill.

Even Xiao Yan achieved this level after a very long period of cultivation.

It's important to know that Xiao Yan's most terrifying quality isn't his Dou Qi talent.

His talent for fighting spirit was only so-so; he relied on drugs and chance to advance along the way.

In Xiao Yang's opinion, his most terrifying talent was his comprehension!

In the original novel, Yao Lao was not by Xiao Yan's side for a long time.

However, even without any formal instruction, Xiao Yan's alchemy skills improved at an astonishingly fast pace, relying solely on the experience left by Yao Lao and his own exploration.

To improve one's alchemy skills quickly, one must rely on one's own comprehension.

Xiao Yan's terrifying rate of improvement is the strongest.

After venturing into the vast world, he directly created the Endless Fire Domain, becoming famous for his alchemy.

It's important to understand that back then, Xiao Yan had to figure out how to refine medicine in the Great Thousand World on his own.

This is enough to show how terrifying the other party's comprehension is.

The fighting techniques acquired in the original work can be learned very quickly.

Even so, it took Xiao Yan a long time to develop the eighth level of internal strength.

It can be said that Xiao Yang's ability to cultivate the Eight Extremes Collapse to perfection from scratch in just half a year is already quite short.

After figuring it out, his mindset improved a lot.

After putting on the special boxing gloves, Xiao Yang continued to practice the Eight Extremes Collapse.

Time flies by during cultivation.

Several days passed, and things unfolded exactly as Xiao Yang had predicted.

The Foundation Building Elixir was completely used up, and the water in the bathtub was now clear and transparent.

Although Xiao Yang didn't know why the water was still clear and transparent after soaking for more than half a month.

All I can say is that this is the magic of elixirs.

Surely it's not that you're inhaling all that sweat, impurities, and secreted oils?

Instruct the servants to empty the water from the bathtub, rinse it again, and refill it with fresh water.

After the servants left, Xiao Yang closed the courtyard gate and went inside.

He retrieved the Foundation Establishment Elixir he had previously obtained from the system space.

The Foundation Building Elixir was golden in color, and Xiao Yang carefully opened the lid.

A unique fragrance wafted out.

Just smelling it makes me feel refreshed.

Without hesitation, Xiao Yang carefully dripped a drop of Foundation Building Elixir into the bathtub.

After doing all this, he quickly put the bottle cap back on.

This elixir can be used many times.

Just one drop is enough for him to use during the Battle Qi stage.

Inside the bathtub, a drop of Foundation Building Elixir dripped down.

The originally clear and transparent water was instantly dyed gold.

At this moment, it even reflected specks of golden light.

Looking at the spiritual liquid shimmering with golden light inside the bucket, Xiao Yang felt something was off.

This was the first time he had ever seen golden liquid.

However, his powerful soul force allowed him to sense the immense energy contained within the Foundation Establishment Divine Liquid.

Without further hesitation, he took off his clothes and went straight inside.

In an instant, Xiao Yang sensed the difference between Foundation Establishment Elixir and Foundation Establishment Divine Elixir.

From the moment he entered the bathtub and his body was enveloped in the spiritual liquid, energy began to flow into his body without him even needing to absorb it himself.

Xiao Yang formed hand seals and circulated his Dou Qi, causing the energy to flow in even faster!

At that moment, his face was filled with shock.

That's incredibly fast!

If in the past, several horse-drawn carriages would gradually draw external energy into his body and transform it into his own fighting spirit...

Right now, it's like several hundred-ton trucks carrying massive amounts of energy are rampaging through my body, rapidly transporting the energy to my dantian!

He originally estimated that even with the Foundation Establishment Elixir, and the daily process of exhausting and recovering his Battle Qi, it would still take him three or four more months to break through to the ninth level of Battle Qi.

But now, he feels that he might be able to break through to the ninth level of Dou Qi in one or two months!

To prevent himself from accidentally breaking through to the next level, Xiao Yang quickly created a mission.

[Task: Break through to the ninth level of Dou Qi. Reward: Constitution +1, Root Bone +1, Foundation Establishment Divine Liquid]

It's Foundation Establishment Elixir again!

Having experienced the effects of the Foundation Building Elixir, Xiao Yang now longed to obtain it again.

After all, the Foundation Establishment Divine Liquid can be used by more than just those at the Battle Qi stage.

Now, as long as you break through to the ninth level of Battle Qi, you can get another one!

Xiao Yang immediately focused all his efforts on cultivation, striving to break through as soon as possible!

……

Time flies, and soon a month and a half has passed.

Xiao Yang hadn't stepped out of his courtyard during this period.

During this time, the other younger members of the Xiao family were also working hard to cultivate in preparation for their coming-of-age ceremony next year.

Apart from Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhan occasionally coming to see him, basically no one else comes.

Xiao Yan came by once in the middle and discovered that Xiao Yang's Eight Extremes Collapse could already unleash five levels of hidden force, so he never came again.

Spurred on by Xiao Yang, he cultivated even more diligently.

He was whipped by the old doctor all day long in the back mountain, emitting violent howls.

If it weren't for the fact that almost no one goes to the back mountain, the Xiao family might have a new ghost story.

Xiao Yang also made great progress in a month and a half.

My mastery of the Eight Extremes Collapse skill has reached 3/10 of the highest level.

A few days ago, his fighting spirit also reached the eighth level limit.

He's ready to try again today, and in one fell swoop, break through to the ninth dan!

Chapter 21: Ninth Stage of Battle Qi! (Please continue reading!)

In the past few days, Xiao Yang has tried to break through several times.

Unfortunately, none of them succeeded.

Today, he's going to give it another try.
