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

"Why are you looking at me so surprised?" Xiao Yan smiled helplessly. "It's normal for me to have some peculiar hobbies, isn't it?"

"That's true..."

As the people who were tested by Zhao Wuji yesterday, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing both subconsciously looked at Tang San.

"So what medicines have you concocted so far?" Shao Xin asked Xiao Yan with great interest.

"There are only two or three usable items..."

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yan put down the steamed bun and took out three jade bottles from his Flame Awakening Ring.

"This can speed up the recovery of soul power, but because of the materials, it is very volatile and must be sealed when not in use." Xiao Yan picked up the sealed jade bottle.

"Accelerate soul power recovery? Can I take a look?"

Shao Xin initially thought Xiao Yan had only produced some wound medicine or something similar, but he didn't expect Xiao Yan's first words to be such a bombshell.

"sure."

Xiao Yan casually handed the bottle of medicine to Shao Xin.

Taking the jade bottle from Xiao Yan, Shao Xin opened the cap, took a small sip, and then put the cap back on.

"Oscar!"

"Yes, teacher!"

After closing his eyes and carefully experiencing the effects of the medicine, Shao Xin suddenly called out the name of his disciple.

"Give me one of your big sausages."

"Yes, teacher!" Oscar solemnly recited his soul incantation, "I have a giant sausage!"

Yellow light condensed in Oscar's hand, and two yellow halos rose from beneath his feet. Then, a ten-centimeter-long sausage appeared in his palm.

Apart from Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing, who already knew about Oscar's soul spell, Ning Rongrong and Xiao Yan were somewhat taken aback when they heard about it.

Shao Xin quickly ate Oscar's sausage, but his brows remained furrowed.

"A refreshing little blue candy."

Seven spirit rings rose from beneath Shao Xin's feet, and as he chanted the spirit incantation, a blue candy appeared in his hand.

Shao Xin put the blue candy directly into his mouth.

After a long while, Shao Xin looked at Xiao Yan with a strange expression.

"Rock Owl...you really have developed something extraordinary..."

At this moment, Shao Xin's expression carried an indescribable meaning.

Everyone was waiting for his next words.

Chapter 34 Phoenix?

"When I first drank this medicine, the effect of restoring my soul power was a bit exaggerated, which made me wonder if there was a mistake." Shao Xin placed the Soul Restoration Liquid in front of Xiao Yan.

"So, I asked Xiao Ao for a big sausage. As it turns out, Xiao Ao's sausage had almost no effect on my recovery."

"That's normal. Although he's a food-type, Xiao Ao is only level 29. If his sausages had a very obvious effect on my recovery, that would be too abnormal." Shao Xin smiled gently as he said this.

"Then, I chose my own little candy."

"The effects of a food-type Soul Master's Soul Skills are somewhat reduced. For example, my Little Candy Bean recovers at about 60% of the speed when others eat it."

Shao Xin emphasized the situation of the soul skills of food-type soul masters, and then continued.

“But this potion’s recovery effect on me is about 120 percent of the full effect of Little Candy Bean,” Shao Xin paused. “Little Blue Candy Bean is my fourth soul skill. Unlike Oscar’s big sausage which has a recovery effect, mine only has the effect of restoring soul power.”

Of the students present, only Ning Rongrong stared wide-eyed in shock; everyone else, including Shao Xin's disciple Oscar from the Food Science Department, wore clear expressions of utter bewilderment.

"Hey... Xiao Ao, you really need to pay more attention to your academic studies from now on!!"

Shao Xin sighed helplessly, "Take Xiao Ao's big sausage as an example. Before Xiao Ao becomes a Soul Saint, no, he should be called a Soul Douluo, the effect of his big sausage cannot possibly surpass the potion made by Yan Xiao."

As for the higher-level Title Douluo, Shao Xin is still far from that level and cannot predict what happens at that level.

"Huh?!" Oscar finally understood. "Then my giant sausage is completely useless?"

Just as Oscar was wailing, Dai Mubai and a chubby boy walked into the cafeteria.

"Little Oscar, what kind of foul language are you spouting in broad daylight?" Dai Mubai clearly heard Oscar's wails and teased him loudly.

Meanwhile, the chubby boy next to Dai Mubai stared intently at the girls in the cafeteria, swallowing hard without any attempt to hide it.

Dai Mubai glanced at the chubby boy, nudged him with his elbow, and whispered, "You better behave yourself and suppress your lustful desires."

Ma Hongjun angrily said, "Why? Are you going to make a move again? I'm telling you, Boss Dai, even if you're the boss, you should at least leave some for the brothers!"

The two weren't arguing loudly, but everyone present was a Soul Master, so they couldn't possibly miss it, and all eyes immediately turned to the two of them.

Noticing everyone's gaze, Dai Mubai coughed lightly and said, "I see everyone is here. For the next period of time, we will all be living and studying together, so let's get to know each other. Let me introduce you. This fat guy is another student in our academy, named Ma Hongjun. His martial soul is grass, oh no, it's a phoenix."

Upon hearing the word "Phoenix," everyone present, except Oscar and Shao Xin, looked at Ma Hongjun with obvious surprise.

Generally speaking, a martial spirit can change a person's temperament and even appearance to some extent, but Ma Hongjun's case... well, let's just say no one has ever seen such a fat phoenix.

"Alright, you two, if you want breakfast, hurry up and come in and get your own food!" Shao Xin glared at Dai Mubai, who had pushed Ma Hongjun out to take the blame.

"Don't worry too much, at least your big sausage can still fill your stomach." Xiao Yan's words did not bring Oscar any comfort.

"Is there any possibility of improving this potion?" Shao Xin didn't have time to comfort Oscar, who had inexplicably fallen into sadness. Food-type Soul Masters and this kind of herbal potion were clearly not on the same track. He didn't know what was wrong with this guy.

“It’s probably impossible,” Xiao Yan said helplessly, spreading his hands. “This potion has already used the tissue structure of a hundred-year-old plant soul beast. Going any further… I can’t think of any way to improve it.”

This is a finished product made during those two days of travel. It uses some materials that Yao Lao mentioned can be used as a superior alternative. The effect is stronger than that of a third-grade pill, but weaker than that of a fourth-grade Qi-restoring pill. However, judging from Shao Xin's appearance, this grade should also have a good effect on Soul Saints and above.

"A hundred-year-old soul beast?"

Xiao Wu's voice was filled with sorrow and disbelief.

"Huh? Is there a problem?"

Xiao Yan was a little confused by Xiao Wu's reaction—aren't you a rabbit? Why would you empathize with something you eat all the time?

The others looked at Xiao Wu with confusion. It is common knowledge that the older the herbs are, the better the effect. And the older the herbs are, the higher the possibility of them becoming soul beasts. So is it strange that a medicine that can restore soul power to a Soul Saint contains the tissue of a hundred-year-old soul beast?

"Hey, wait, what are you guys talking about? I don't understand at all," Ma Hongjun said, looking at everyone with a confused expression after getting his food.

Xiao Yan, who was very interested in the Phoenix... well, actually the flames of the Phoenix Martial Soul, enthusiastically explained the events that had happened to Ma Hongjun.

"So... Oscar, does that mean I can eat all your giant sausages from now on?"

Eating is one of Ma Hongjun's great hobbies. After hearing what had happened, he looked directly at Oscar. Although he kept saying that the taste was not good, at least Oscar's big sausage was free!

"Don't even think about it!" Oscar almost jumped up. "Besides, Boss Yan, this potion is very difficult to make, isn't it?"

Oscar stared at Xiao Yan, blinking every now and then, as if he was genuinely worried that Xiao Yan would steal his job.

"I guess so," Xiao Yan shrugged.

"Hey? Wait a minute, Oscar, why are you calling this kid 'boss'?" The somewhat dim-witted Ma Hongjun suddenly realized something. "Aren't you afraid Boss Dai will beat you up?"

As he spoke, Ma Hongjun subconsciously glanced at Dai Mubai, who was sitting opposite Zhu Zhuqing and fawning over her.

"Fatty, what are you looking at? Look again and I'll beat you up!"

Zhu Zhuqing, who was already annoyed by Dai Mubai's attentiveness, frowned when she noticed that everyone's attention had turned to her because of Ma Hongjun's words. She got up and left, while Dai Mubai, who was still sitting there, turned pale and threatened her.

"Huh? Boss Dai, are you sure you're not mistaken? It's clearly Oscar's problem..." Ma Hongjun still didn't realize the seriousness of the matter.

Oscar, who knew Dai Mubai's petty nature and how many times Dai Mubai had been humiliated in the past two days, chuckled to himself and sat there without saying a word.

"Fine, you still say that, right? Come on, let's go outside and practice!" Dai Mubai stopped eating breakfast and got up to walk towards Ma Hongjun.

"Alright, alright, Ma Hongjun didn't do it on purpose."

Xiao Yan sighed helplessly upon discovering that these people were even more naive than himself, and stood up to stop Dai Mubai.

"Alright, Yan Xiao, I'll give you face this time."

Looking at Xiao Yan blocking the way between him and Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai thought of the scene of being instantly killed yesterday, and subconsciously shuddered before saying this.

"Hey Oscar, stop playing dead and tell me what happened."

Having narrowly escaped disaster, Ma Hongjun sat down next to Oscar and quietly inquired about what had happened yesterday.

"Mu Bai, we are all new here. Could you tell us about the rules and courses in the academy?"

Xiao Yan admired Ma Hongjun's persistent and reckless behavior, but in order to keep breakfast going, he had no choice but to speak up and calm Dai Mubai down first.

He himself handed over the remaining two jade bottles to Shao Xin for appraisal—in order not to show off too much, the two bottles only contained low-grade wound medicine and antidote.

Chapter 35 Rules

“The academy doesn’t have any special rules, except for the simplest one: no looting,” Dai Mubai paused, then continued, “but combat and gambling are encouraged.”

Xiao Yan's expression turned strange. Fighting was one thing, but what did supporting gambling mean? Was the academy's dean a gambling addict?

As if sensing Xiao Yan's confusion, Shao Xin casually explained, "We are all self-taught Soul Masters. We are not good at the academic teaching methods, so we simply chose the simplest way to teach."

"Combat is the best way to familiarize yourself with your own martial spirit and enhance your combat experience, which is extremely important."

"Gambling is a psychological game, which is very beneficial for improving mental resilience, observation, and judgment. Of course, everything should be done in moderation. Simply put, you can't kill people in a fight, and you'll be fine as long as you don't lose your pants in gambling."

Having his job stolen by Shao Xin, Dai Mubai could only stand there nodding repeatedly.

"The courses aren't the most crucial thing, or rather, the five of us teachers can only be responsible for a few courses," Shao Xin continued.

"Old Li is in charge of teaching one-on-one combat, while Old Lu is in charge of regular cultural lessons on weapon spirits, as well as countermeasures when encountering special weapon spirits in actual combat."

"I'll be in charge of teaching the cultural courses for food-type and plant-type weapon spirits, while Lao Zhao will be responsible for improving your physical fitness and occasionally, together with Flander, will be in charge of your team battle training."

"Two people are here to teach team battles?" Tang San was somewhat surprised.

"What? Isn't that enough?" Shao Xin said helplessly. "A combination of a Great Soul Master and a Soul Venerable, Old Zhao could easily swat one away with one hand. You don't really think Old Zhao couldn't do anything to you yesterday, do you?"

Tang San, who lacked understanding of the power of a Soul Saint, was clearly somewhat unconvinced.

“Old Zhao’s maximum gravity amplification is five times. Under five times gravity, do you think you still have a speed advantage?” Shao Xin naturally saw Tang San’s dissatisfaction and continued to explain, “Yesterday, the maximum gravity amplification he applied to you was no more than 1.5 times.”

"..."

Tang San opened his mouth, but ultimately couldn't utter any words of rebuttal.
