The Transmigrator Who Changed Doupo

“Alright! As you wish, but I have to mention some conditions.” Xiao Xuanyuan had sharp eyes and immediately noticed that Liu Qing’s legs were trembling when he turned around. “You lost. Not only do you have to have your cousin Liu Fei come and serve me tea and water, but you also have to give me all the fire energy in your Fire Crystal Card. Otherwise, I’m afraid you’ll send someone to ambush me.”

"Enough with the nonsense, let's compete, or don't bother me while I'm going back to eat!" Liu Qing was really scared. Although he appeared fierce on the surface, he was actually panicking inside. He wanted to quickly walk back to the backyard.

"Since you're so impatient, then I'll grant your wish. Come on, right here!" Xiao Xuanyuan shouted, and his terrifying aura as a nine-star Dou Wang spread out, crushing the entire scene.

"Is this the aura of the Medicine Alliance leader? It's terrifying!"

For a moment, everyone fell silent. Some students with weaker strength were even struggling to breathe under this overwhelming pressure. Their legs trembled, their bodies shook, and they struggled and resisted with all their might, their faces turning pale!

Feeling the oppressive force that seemed to be crushing him from all directions, Liu Qing tried his best to circulate his battle qi to fight back. However, his whole body was already soaked with sweat and he was trembling uncontrollably. All his usual arrogant and domineering aura had been thrown to the winds. How the hell was he supposed to fight? He was almost crushed by the pressure of others. Liu Qing felt like crying but had no tears in his heart.

"Speak, how do you want to compete?!" Xiao Xuanyuan's voice was calm, but everyone in the arena could hear it clearly. However, due to the powerful Dou Wang aura emanating from him, no one could speak. At this moment, they were all struggling to circulate their Dou Qi to resist this invisible pressure.

"Oh right, I just heard you say that if you can compete, then compete, and if you can't, then get lost, right?! Huh?!" Xiao Xuanyuan slowly walked forward and slapped Liu Qing's handsome face, making him fall to the ground, his head buzzing, and five bright red finger marks appeared.

"You still expect me not to disturb your meal? Huh!" Xiao Xuanyuan stomped hard on his thigh again, making a series of "crunching" sounds as his heel twisted.

Liu Qing's face was contorted in pain, and his eyes were filled with deep fear as he looked at Xiao Xuanyuan. In this extreme pain, his eyeballs bulged and were filled with bloodshot veins. However, under this terrifying pressure, he could not utter a single word, not even a scream. He could only be slaughtered at will. With a crisp, teeth-grinding sound, one of his thigh bones was broken by being stepped on.

"Fine, I'll grant your wish now." Xiao Xuanyuan murmured softly, then raised his foot and stomped hard on Liu Qing's arm, snapping it with a crisp crack.

"Alright, you've already lost!"

Xiao Xuanyuan snapped his thumb against his index finger, and the terrifying pressure that had been overwhelming and weighing on everyone's hearts instantly receded like a tide. Countless students present collapsed to the ground, exhausted and powerless. The pressure of a dignified nine-star Dou Wang was terrifying indeed!

In fact, given Xiao Xuanyuan's strength in being able to fight against Elder Ling, a peak nine-star Dou Huang, his aura and pressure had already surpassed the level of Dou Wang. Even when facing the pressure of a Dou Huang expert, he would not be defeated.

Therefore, to say that he only possesses the pressure of an ordinary Nine-Star Dou Wang is to underestimate him!

"Ah!"

After the oppressive force was removed, Liu Qing immediately let out a shrill scream. His terrifying, desperate scream made everyone present shudder!

It hurts, it hurts so much!

Liu Qing's face was as pale as paper, and cold sweat dripped down his face from the pain.

“Since you’ve lost, you have to keep your promise,” Xiao Xuanyuan said, his gaze falling on Liu Fei, who was slumped on the ground not far away. “Liu Fei, come with me!”

"I'm not going!"

Liu Fei glanced at Xiao Xuanyuan, her body shuddering involuntarily. Then, she avoided his gaze with some fear and looked at her cousin Liu Qing, who was lying on the ground, half-dead, with one arm and one leg broken.

"Cousin!" Liu Fei cried out, her eyes instantly turning red and tears streaming down her face. She scrambled to Liu Qing's side and reached out to help him up.

"Liu Qing, as a man, if you can't even keep your word, I advise you not to stay in the inner courtyard anymore. Nobody will respect you." Xiao Xuanyuan sneered disdainfully. "Also, as the defeated one, I must accept your fire energy. If you don't give it to me, I don't mind crippling your other arm and leg!"

Hearing Xiao Xuanyuan's words, which were full of threat, Liu Qing's body trembled uncontrollably. But in the end, he gritted his teeth and, with his remaining hand trembling, took out the Fire Crystal Card from his storage ring and handed it to Xiao Xuanyuan. He then said to Liu Fei beside him in a hoarse voice, "Go with him!"

"Cousin!" Liu Fei exclaimed anxiously, her face flushed red.

"Go with him? You won't listen to what I say anymore!"

"Liu Qing roared like a severely wounded, dying beast, his voice hoarse and terrifying."

Looking at Liu Qing's ferocious expression and then at Xiao Xuanyuan's indifferent face, Liu Fei gritted her teeth and had no choice but to get up and leave him.

Taking the cyan fire crystal card from the other party, Xiao Xuanyuan swiped the fire energy down to only a "7" and returned it to Liu Qing. "This is just a lesson. I hope you won't have any ulterior motives towards me in the future, or you won't be so lucky next time!"

"Let's go!"

Seeing that the matter was resolved satisfactorily, Xiao Xuanyuan waved his hand and led the Medicine Alliance and Earth Star away in a grand procession, while Liu Fei naturally followed behind Xiao Xuanyuan, turning back every few steps.

Watching Xiao Xuanyuan's departing figure, Liu Qing's eyes were bloodshot, his teeth were almost grinding to powder, and his only remaining intact arm was clenched into a fist so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh, without him even realizing it.

But when he looked at his crippled arm and leg, his eyes darkened.

Chapter Thirty-Two: The Golden Horned Thunder Leopard and the Snow Illusion Golden Eagle's Magic Core

The alchemist's office hall, the top-floor training room.

Countless gold-type magic cores were piled up in front of Xiao Xuanyuan, stacked like a small mountain. There were first, second and third-tier ones, and only a few fourth-tier ones, but no fifth-tier gold-type magic cores.

Fifth-tier magical beasts are equivalent to human powerhouses at the Douhuang level. Obtaining their magical cores is extremely difficult because they have begun to possess intelligence comparable to humans. They are all overlords who occupy a region and are not so easy to kill.

Once, in the Magical Beast Mountain Range of the Gama Empire, Xiao Xuanyuan encountered Yun Yun, the sect leader of the Yunlan Sect. She was a true Dou Huang powerhouse, but even with her strength, she was unable to kill the fifth-tier magical beast, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, and almost fell victim to its clutches. This shows the strength of magical beasts of this tier.

Moreover, in the inner academy, the strongest group of students are those ranked on the Power Ranking. Even Xiao Ziyan, who is ranked first on the Power Ranking, only has a physical body comparable to a Dou Wang (Battle King) expert. With her strength, she is already doing well enough to protect herself. How could she possibly have the ability to confront a fifth-tier magical beast head-on, let alone kill it?

Therefore, no student in the inner courtyard could provide Xiao Xuanyuan with a fifth-order gold-type magic core. Even the few fourth-order gold-type magic cores that were available were contributed privately by the elders.

Time passed slowly.

Inside the training room, Xiao Xuanyuan sat cross-legged. At this moment, he was making the hand seals for cultivating the Golden Cicada Divine Concealment with both hands, his face contorted with rage, as if he were enduring extreme pain. Through his mind, one could see that four golden meridians had already been carved out in his chest, and he was carving out the fifth.

Drops of sweat kept spilling from his forehead and cheeks, sliding down, and then hitting the ground, shattering into pieces.

Not long after, in less than a minute, the power of a first-tier gold-type magic core was exhausted. Xiao Xuanyuan then opened his eyes, took out another first-tier gold-type magic core and swallowed it. Pale yellow flames surged up, enveloping the first-tier gold-type magic core, continuously refining its iron-hard outer shell into nothingness, and then enveloping a little finger-sized golden liquid that rushed into the fifth golden meridian that was being developed.

Faced with the fragile and blocked meridians, the golden liquid began to excavate and wash away various impurities, bringing Xiao Xuanyuan extremely intense pain. His whole body trembled uncontrollably, and sweat poured out continuously, but he still gritted his teeth and endured it, forcing himself to continue to open up the metal meridians.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but for Xiao Xuanyuan, a single breath felt like a day. After carving out a smooth meridian path, his powerful soul perception controlled the remaining golden liquid to envelop and fuse with it, repairing the injured meridians until they shone with a golden luster, consuming the golden liquid.

In no time, another Tier 1 Gold-type Magic Core was used up.

In this almost unbearable pain, constantly opening up his meridians and tempering himself, Xiao Xuanyuan trained day and night, repeatedly going through the steps of swallowing, refining, opening, fusing, and repairing.

The sun and moon revolve, and time flows on.

The mountain of gold-type magic cores in front of Xiao Xuanyuan kept decreasing, being consumed one by one, until three days later, all the gold-type magic cores in front of him were completely used up.

"Ah, we've finally reached the most important step."

Xiao Xuanyuan slowly opened his eyes. Although his eyes showed extreme fatigue, they still could not hide the bright color that resembled the stars in the sky.

Moving the gaze, it penetrated Xiao Xuanyuan's sweat-soaked clothes, and saw that near his heart on his left chest, there were many distinct and bright golden lines, densely packed like a spider web covering his chest. Among them, several thick golden lines extended out like a nerve network, stretching all the way to his limbs.

These dense, spiderweb-like golden patterns are all centered on the heart, but they do not touch or penetrate into the heart.

Xiao Xuanyuan raised his left hand and looked at a thick golden line, with tiny spiderweb-like tendrils extending outwards, all the way to his palm, and then to the tips of his five fingers. When he stretched out both hands, all ten fingers were like this.

At this moment, Yao Lao floated out from the ring, examined Xiao Xuanyuan's face, limbs, and the golden patterns that appeared on his chest, and couldn't help but stroke his long white beard, nodding and praising, "With my strength back then, it would have taken me at least half a month to open up the golden meridians to this extent. I didn't expect you to complete it in nearly three days, and to be able to endure such great pain in opening up the meridians. You are indeed very persevering and have great potential."

Xiao Xuanyuan nodded, his expression resolute, and said, "I will do anything to successfully cultivate this Heaven-Rank movement technique."

At this moment, seven or eight distinct golden lines extended across Xiao Xuanyuan's face, running from the back of his neck, the back of his ears, and the sides of his face to the top of his head. In particular, the two golden lines on his cheeks were almost symmetrical, finally passing through the space between his eyebrows and spreading across his entire forehead.

The old apothecary looked at Xiao Xuanyuan, whose face was covered in what appeared to be countless golden vines, and nodded. He said, "Your golden meridians are basically all open. Now you just need to put in a little more effort to create a second dantian in your heart, forming a golden sea of ​​qi, and you will reach the minor completion stage. However..."

The old apothecary looked around; it was empty. A gust of wind blew in, stirring up a wisp of dust. "Have all the metal-type magic cores been used up?"

“There are also two fourth-tier gold-type magic cores,” Xiao Xuanyuan said, opening his palm. Two gold-type magic cores of different shapes lay quietly, one being an irregular rhombus shape and the other an irregular oval shape.

"This rhombus-shaped one should be the magic core of a fifth-tier Golden Horned Thunder Leopard, while the other oval one is the magic core of a flying beast, Snow Illusion Golden Jade. Both are quite rare species. Tsk tsk, kid, you're in luck." The old apothecary stroked his long white beard, floated forward lightly, and said with a smile.

"Is there any other explanation for this?" Xiao Xuanyuan asked curiously.

"Yes, I believe you've also seen the scroll of the Golden Cicada's Concealment movement technique. When cultivating the first stage of the Golden Cicada's Concealment to open the second dantian and form the sea of ​​qi, if you use a rare magical beast's gold-type magic core, there's a high chance of refining the original power of the gold-type magic core itself. For example, the Snow Illusion Golden-Patterned Beast is dominated by illusions, used to deceive humans, and its speed isn't top-tier. On the other hand, the Golden Horned Thunder Leopard is dominated by the power of thunder, possessing both the attack power and storage capacity of lightning. If you're lucky enough to refine and extract either of these magical beasts' abilities, it will be a significant stroke of luck and a great help," the old medicine master said with a smile.

"What abilities did you refine, Elder Yao?" Xiao Xuanyuan couldn't help but ask with curiosity.

"Sixth-tier Xuanjinlin, with hardening ability." Yao Lao naturally knew Xiao Xuanyuan's thoughts, so he told him.

"Wow, a sixth-tier magical beast! That's equivalent to a human expert at the Dou Zong level! It's incredibly rare. Mine is only fourth-tier." Xiao Xuanyuan couldn't help but feel a little dejected.

"Kid, don't be greedy. The level only affects the size of your Qi Sea. You can still expand your Qi Sea by absorbing and refining more high-level metal-type magical beast cores." Faced with Xiao Xuanyuan's greed, Yao Lao couldn't help but give him a hard flick on the forehead.

"Moreover, the two fourth-tier magical beast cores you currently possess are extremely rare. If you successfully refine them, you will possess the perfect talent attributes of the Golden Horned Thunder Leopard, the power of golden lightning, and you can even directly devour gold-type minerals and absorb the power of lightning in a rainstorm for cultivation. The illusion technique of Snow Illusion Golden Carving is also extremely rare."

Chapter Thirty-Three: Fierce Battle with Xun'er

Ahh!

Xiao Xuanyuan let out a series of heart-wrenching roars. His eyes had turned completely golden, and two golden rays that seemed capable of piercing the void shot out, piercing through the eaves above his head and shooting into the pitch-black night.

Those near the alchemist's office only need to tilt their heads slightly to see two golden beams of light piercing through the roof from the top, tearing through the void, and strikingly soaring into the heavens.

Xiao Xuanyuan gritted his teeth and endured it. At this moment, his heart was completely filled with two thick, dense golden liquids, which were constantly washing over the fragile blood vessels and tendons of his heart.

"The Golden Cicada vanishes, seizing the power of creation; it takes metal from the five elements, using only its most resilient heart as a sea to connect to the heavens; the golden veins guide the way, piercing the long barrier."

As he recited the mantras and incantations, Xiao Xuanyuan desperately held onto the last shred of clarity in his mind, letting the two scalding, dense golden liquids wash over his fragile heart, like spoonfuls of boiling oil being repeatedly poured onto it. The excruciating pain was unimaginable.

In this extreme pain, Xiao Xuanyuan slowly closed his eyes, as if he had lost consciousness, hearing, and all senses. On his skin, countless golden patterns flickered, as if they had been activated, flowing with a scalding golden aura.

In this extreme pain, Xiao Xuanyuan didn't know how long he gritted his teeth and endured it. He felt as if his heart was being fried in boiling oil, and his body was as if it were bound by red-hot iron chains, constantly being scalded. In this endless repetition, his consciousness was almost tormented into a blur.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but it felt like several hours or even centuries to him. Suddenly, a loud bang exploded in his heart. Just when Xiao Xuanyuan felt he was about to give up, his consciousness returned to his body, and his mind was instantly pulled back into his heart.

At this moment, the heart, no longer appearing blood-red, radiated a golden light, illuminating the entire atrium and chest cavity. The golden heart pounded powerfully, guiding the blood flow through the limbs and bones, forming an internal circulation.

As expected, within his heart, Xiao Xuanyuan saw a massive golden sea of ​​qi, and at its center, a golden vortex of fighting qi slowly rotated.

Golden patterns all over the body, the second dantian, the vast sea of ​​qi, the vortex of fighting qi.

"That's right, this is the manifestation of the Golden Cicada's Concealment reaching the minor completion stage." Xiao Xuanyuan was overjoyed. His powerful soul perception surged up, and with a thought, the slowly rotating golden vortex began to mobilize golden battle qi, rushing towards the golden patterns and tendons that had been carved out earlier. Faintly, Xiao Xuanyuan heard a buzzing sound that seemed to be the sound of metal clashing.

The golden energy flowed like a rushing river, circulating through the meridians using the Golden Cicada Divine Concealment Technique. With each completed cycle, the golden energy flow grew stronger. Finally, like a vast ocean embracing all rivers, countless streams of golden energy returned to the Golden Qi Sea, only to surge forth again, thus repeating the cycle endlessly.

"I've already created my second dantian and golden energy vortex, I need to test its power!" Xiao Xuanyuan stood up abruptly, walked to the window, and let out a long howl at the clear sky after the night rain.

"What's with all that howling and wailing so early in the morning? Are you crazy?!"

The passersby were all dissatisfied and looked up, searching for the source of the sound. One student even started cursing, but like the others, he immediately shrank back in fear after realizing that the sound was coming from the top floor of the Alchemist's Office. But it was too late; Xiao Xuanyuan had already heard his loud curse.

"Golden Cicada vanishes! Transform!"

A golden light flashed in Xiao Xuanyuan's eyes, and then his figure disappeared directly from the top-floor window. The next moment, he appeared directly in front of the person who had just cursed him seventy or eighty feet away. He grabbed the student by the neck with one hand and kicked him in the buttocks, instantly turning him into a black dot and disappearing in a flash. He gave him a free plane ticket, doing a good deed without leaving his name.

With another flash of golden light, Xiao Xuanyuan vanished from the spot, startling the nearby pedestrians who turned pale with fright. If it weren't for the fact that it was broad daylight, they would have thought they had encountered a ghost. They searched around in confusion, only to find that Xiao Xuanyuan's figure was already seventy or eighty feet away in the sky.

"Change, change, change!"

"

Xiao Xuanyuan called out repeatedly, and his figure appeared in the distance with a flash of golden light. In another flash of golden light, he completely disappeared and became a tiny black dot.

A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Xuanyuan stood calmly suspended in mid-air, quietly leaning against the window of Xun'er's boudoir, his gaze searching inside. But as soon as he poked his head in, a teacup was smashed down, shattering into pieces in his face.

"Which pervert is spying again!" A delicate shout followed, accompanied by a graceful figure rushing towards Xiao Xuanyuan.
