Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, who was kidnapped to another world

After changing the subject without batting an eye, Xiao Yan asked with concern.

"The Iceflame Wolf... its primary attribute is actually ice..."

"The main attribute is ice?"

"That's very abnormal, isn't it?" Lin Dong smiled helplessly.

It was Xiao Diao who told him this. At the beginning, the two of them even set their sights on a hundred-year-old Ice Flame Wolf as their first spirit ring.

That was before Lin Dong reached the ninth level of Body Tempering. At that time, in order to determine whether his natal talisman could absorb a soul ring, Lin Dong went to the Soul Hunting Forest with his school teacher. While confirming that he could absorb a soul ring, Little Marten also discovered an Ice Flame Wolf and a Yin Sha object near the Ice Flame Wolf's den in the Soul Hunting Forest.

Although the Yin energy was only at the fifth or sixth level, it was still quite rare on this continent.

However, when they found the place again later, the Ice Flame Wolf had transformed into another soul beast, a soul beast with Yin Sha Qi of level nine or higher.

"The main attribute is ice? Is that why it's called the Ice Flame Wolf?" Xiao Yan was somewhat surprised.

At the same time, Xiao Yan became even more convinced that Lin Dong was a member of a 'hidden family' on this continent. He even made a point of distinguishing the main attributes of the soul beasts, which must be to ensure that his descendants would not make any mistakes when absorbing soul rings!

"Perhaps so..."

Lin Dong was somewhat uninterested in this, but he was certain that Xiao Yan's talent lay solely in his spiritual power. Even he, who didn't care much about soul beasts, knew the origin of the name Ice Flame Wolf!

—Initially, before the true nature of the Ice Flame Wolf was known, some people froze to death, so it was initially named Silver Ice Wolf. Later, when its true nature was discovered to be fire, the word "silver" was removed and the word "flame" was added after "ice" to commemorate the unfortunate soul who froze to death at the beginning.

"So, Lin Dong, your requirement for your third spirit ring is that its main attribute is fire, right?"

From Lin Dong's previous answers, Xiao Yan felt that he seemed to understand the requirements for the spirit ring that Lin Dong's martial soul absorbed.

“Yes, fire as the main attribute is fine,” Lin Dong nodded and continued, “At first, my target was a Blazing Roaring Tiger on the other side, but then I sensed the commotion when you broke through, so I came over to check the situation.”

'Actually, it's because there's a spiritual creature with Yang energy near the Blazing Roaring Tiger's lair.'

Of course, Lin Dong didn't reveal this crucial information.

"Blazing Roaring Tiger..."

Xiao Yan knew the distribution of the soul beasts in the vicinity like the back of his hand. The nearest group of Blazing Roaring Tigers was more than ten kilometers away, with a total of four. Among the two adults, one was over 40,000 years old and the other was over 20,000 years old, and there were also two cubs around 1,000 years old.

The reason I can remember them is because there are quite a few yang-attribute herbs near this group. I don't know their specific medicinal properties, but they are at least third- or even fourth-tier herbs.

"If the Blazing Roaring Tiger is acceptable, what about the Azure Flame Dragon Beast? I know there is a 15,000-year-old Azure Flame Dragon Beast nearby."

"Azure Flame Dragon Beast? Let me think..." Lin Dong hesitated.

'What's there to think about? At least it has the word "dragon" in its name; it's better than a tiger.'

The little sable's voice came from the stone talisman. Although its tone was not much different from usual, it was clear that it was feeling guilty. Lin Dong felt that the little sable was using the stone talisman as a shield.

'Furthermore, a fire-attribute sub-dragon must possess organs imbued with Yang energy, and the Yang energy contained within such organs could not possibly be lower than level eight.'

After uttering those two sentences, Xiao Diao fell silent again. It seems that the mental power of a Heavenly Talisman Master was putting a lot of pressure on Xiao Diao, who was not even at the Yuan Dan realm yet.

"The Azure Flame Dragon Beast is perfectly fine, then thank you very much for the information you provided, Xiao Yan!" Lin Dong cupped his hands in thanks.

"Intelligence? What, Lin Dong, are you planning to hunt that Azure Flame Dragon Beast alone?"

"I can handle a soul beast that's 15,000 years old all by myself."

Lin Dong was quite confident in the face of Xiao Yan's doubts. No matter how strong a 15,000-year-old soul beast was, it couldn't reach the Lesser Yuan Dan realm. With his spiritual power as a four-seal talisman master, he could take it down without taking any damage.

"Amazing, you're just as good as me!"

Xiao Yan's praise was heartfelt. Although he had killed the Ice Flame Wolf in two moves, the Ice Flame Wolf was only a little over 12,000 years old, and his soul power had reached the mid-level of the mortal realm. Even a simple soul impact might have been enough to kill it.

Lin Dong's soul power had not reached the middle stage of the mortal realm, and was weaker than Xiao Yan's, yet he was confident in killing a 15,000-year-old soul beast, fully deserving the title of "no less than me".

"To be able to kill the Ice Flame Wolf without causing much damage to the surrounding environment, Xiao Yan, your strength is also quite formidable."

His martial soul was the Xuan Heavy Ruler, a weapon-type martial soul that seemed unrelated to mental power. At a similar age to me, his mental power had reached the level of a Heavenly Talisman Master. Moreover, judging from the way the Ice Flame Wolf died, he probably used his mental power to directly and brutally shatter its brain to achieve the kill...

"Whether it's talent or ability, Xiao Yan, you are much stronger than me!" Lin Dong gave the highest praise to Xiao Yan, who was able to shatter the hard wolf's head despite not understanding the use of mental power.

"...Ahem, don't be so polite. Here, the Lightning Rabbit is ready too. After we eat, I'll go with you to cause trouble for that Azure Flame Dragon Beast!"

Xiao Yan blushed slightly at being praised by a "genius native" like Lin Dong. He quickly picked up the roasted lightning rabbit, roughly cut it in half, and handed one to Lin Dong.

"Thank you very much then," Lin Dong said, since Xiao Yan was willing to help, he didn't mind saving himself some trouble, however—

"Are you sure this lightning rabbit is done baking? You've only been baking it for a few minutes, right?"

"Don't worry, I'm pretty good at roasting rabbits, and this isn't ordinary fire. I've been using my fighting spirit... I've been controlling it with my soul power. A few minutes will be enough!"

"Really?"

"It's definitely true! Why would I lie to you?"

"...Seasoning, you didn't add any seasoning!"

"Ah, I knew I'd forgotten something..."

The two, who had known each other for less than ten minutes, sat down on the ground and began to share the lightning rabbit that had been forgotten to be seasoned.

Chapter 14 Azure Flame Dragon Beast (Part 2)

The Azure Flame Dragon Beast, a sub-dragon type soul beast, is the only known fire-attribute soul beast that nests its lairs beneath lakes or rivers.

Because of this characteristic, Soul Masters with Water-attribute Martial Souls will not disturb it, and the cost for Soul Masters with Fire-attribute Martial Souls to hunt it is too high. This has resulted in very few people possessing the Azure Flame Dragon Beast's Soul Rings, even though it is a sub-dragon type Soul Beast.

"I've heard that the Azure Flame Dragon Beast near its lair is far more powerful than other soul beasts of similar age. I wonder if that's true or not."

Hidden in the shadows, Xiao Yan kept an eye on the Azure Flame Dragon Beast in the distance while chatting with Lin Dong.

“It should be true,” Lin Dong replied, pursing his lips. “I was a bit too confident before. If I were alone, I might not have been able to deal with it.”

Under Lin Dong's mental observation, the Azure Flame Dragon Beast in the distance was almost one with the lake, giving him the feeling that if he wanted to kill the Azure Flame Dragon Beast, he would have to destroy the water source or drag the Azure Flame Dragon Beast out of the lake.

"Will you transfer your second soul skill to this Azure Flame Dragon Beast?" Xiao Yan had the same feeling as Lin Dong, and after hesitating for a moment, he asked.

While sharing the Lightning Rabbit, the two gained a general understanding of each other's soul skills. Xiao Yan learned that Lin Dong's two soul skills were manipulating dark elements and manipulating spatial elements, while Lin Dong also learned that the effects of Xiao Yan's three soul skills were armor penetration, speed enhancement, and the flames of the Ice Flame Wolf.

"I can't do it," Lin shook his head. His mental strength was still a bit low. If he were a spirit talisman master now, he could easily transfer the Azure Flame Dragon Beast.

"However, I can guarantee that the two of us can sneak up to it without being detected, and that we will not be sensed by it before we attack or harm it."

After saying this, Lin Dong stared straight at Xiao Yan.

"My... self-created soul skill should be able to cut it in half at the waist. Even if it isn't cut in half, its body will definitely be severely injured, and it will be too late to escape." After assessing the power of the Flame Dividing Wave Ruler, Xiao Yan said this.

"After being cut in half, the Azure Flame Dragon Beast will not die immediately. During that time, it will definitely unleash its innate soul skill, Azure Flame Meteor Shower. My Ice Gold Flame can perfectly block the meteor shower."

"So, I need to kill the Azure Flame Dragon Beast before its meteor shower stops?"

Despite having overestimated Xiao Yan as much as possible, Lin Dong was still somewhat shocked when he learned that Xiao Yan might possess a self-created soul skill capable of severing the Azure Flame Dragon Beast in half with a single blow, and that he was confident he could withstand the Azure Flame Dragon Beast's meteor shower.

"This only takes about ten seconds. Can you do it?"

"No problem. If it's a severely injured Azure Flame Dragon Beast, Spatial Cutting can kill it." Lin Dong nodded, very confident.

"Spatial Slicing... Why didn't you just use it while you were sneaking over there?"

Xiao Yan licked his lips. He knew he could only use spatial power when he reached the Dou Zong stage, and he deeply envied Lin Dong, who could use spatial power right now.

"It consumes a lot of energy, and I can't guarantee that I can kill the Azure Flame Dragon Beast directly if it is not injured."

Lin Dong was also somewhat helpless. Even with his spiritual power as a fourth-level talisman master, he could not mobilize his Yuan power, which was not even at the Heavenly Origin Realm level. That was not enough to support him in releasing a spatial cut that could kill the intact Azure Flame Dragon Beast.

"The most crucial thing is... if the spatial element fluctuations are obvious, the Azure Flame Dragon Beast might discover us."

"Uh... what if it's a fluctuation in the energy of heaven and earth?"

The first two points were fine, but when he heard that the fluctuations in spatial elements might lead to their discovery, Xiao Yan asked somewhat awkwardly.

"Your self-created soul skill will cause fluctuations in the energy of heaven and earth?"

"To be precise, it's about using the energy of heaven and earth as my attack," Xiao Yan corrected Lin Dong. "That's why I'm confident I can cut the Azure Flame Dragon Beast in half or severely injure it."

"Is that so..." Lin Dong was once again amazed by Xiao Yan's talent, "As for the energy of heaven and earth, it's no problem at all!"

"That……"

"Let's begin."

They exchanged a glance, and the shadow beneath Lin Dong's feet swallowed them both.

·

The Azure Flame Dragon Beast was a bit agitated today. It felt as if something was watching it, just like it had before it was chased by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

That's why it hasn't left its happy old home yet; it suspects that once it leaves, the tiger will appear beside it.

It seems a bit hot?

The Azure Flame Dragon Beast's tail slapped against the lake's surface, splashing water everywhere. It was growing increasingly agitated, feeling as if a tiger had stealthily crept up to its side.

Thinking of this, the Azure Flame Dragon Beast suddenly turned around.

Then, before it could even see what was behind it, a giant red ruler, crackling with intense heat, slammed into its tail.

The Azure Flame Dragon Beast is three meters long and one meter tall at the shoulder. Compared to ordinary people, it is a behemoth. However, even such a behemoth still let out a miserable howl when its tail was attacked, and the attack was powerful enough to tear its body apart.

Chirp-!

Accompanied by the painful roar of the Azure Flame Dragon Beast, countless cyan fireballs, each thirty centimeters in diameter, suddenly appeared in mid-air. The next moment, these countless fireballs attacked the figure who was staring blankly at the giant ruler in his hand.

"Hey……"

Thinking that Xiao Yan hadn't reacted, Lin Dong hurriedly called out.

"I know."

Looking at the terrifying wound on the Azure Flame Dragon Beast that started from its tail and ran across half of its body, Xiao Yan's eyes were somewhat dead. Now he felt that the Xuan Heavy Ruler in his hand was covered with strange objects that emitted a foul stench.

"I don't want this martial soul anymore..."

As Xiao Yan muttered to himself, purple flames surged from his body, forming a fire shield large enough to envelop both of them in less than a second.

No matter how fiercely the falling blue meteor shower struck the fire shield, the purple flames remained unmoved, standing calmly on the water's surface.

Well--

Lin Dong pursed his lips, trying his best to appear as if he was gathering his strength. He had heard Xiao Yan's resentful words clearly, but the timing was not right. No matter how funny the situation was, he had to hold back now.

"The meteor shower is fast..."

"Space cutting!"
