Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

Chapter 48 Burning Technique

"Don't go, cousin Xiao Yan!!! Mei'er doesn't want you to leave!"

After Xiao Zhan left, Xiao Mei clung to Xiao Yan's back, trying to keep Xiao Yan with tears in her eyes.

However, Xiao Yan, who would usually be the first to comfort Xiao Mei, was unmoved at this moment, with determination in his eyes.

This was a decision he had made before the New Year and it would not change because of anyone.

Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Yan with a complicated expression and asked indifferently.

"Have you really decided?"

"Yes." Xiao Yan nodded and looked at Xiao Yu solemnly, "I must go."

If you want to spread your own righteousness to the whole world, you must first perfect your own righteousness. If your own righteousness has a huge loophole in a certain matter, and even you cannot accept it, how can you spread it?

But thinking alone is far from enough to fill this gap.

You have to experience it yourself and feel it yourself to be able to see it clearly.

"Is it."

Xiao Yu murmured and sighed silently in his heart.

Judging from Xiao Yan's expression, there was no room for negotiation on this matter.

Xiao Yu shrugged lightly and smiled helplessly.

Really, he is so easy-going in normal times, but on certain things he is so firm that he won’t allow anyone to refute him. This is the Xiao Yan she knows.

"Since you've said that, I won't stop you too much." Xiao Yu gently spread out one hand and said slowly, "But can you wait a few more days?"

"Why?" Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, "There shouldn't be anything wrong with the Xiao family anymore, right?"

Xiao Yan had wanted to go out for training as soon as he had recovered his strength, but he was blocked by the Coming of Age Ceremony and the Chinese New Year. Now that he had finished all the things he needed to do, Xiao Yan proposed to leave.

If we have to say something, then the only thing left is the martial arts.

But that didn't matter. Because of Xiao Yan's previous insistence, the Dou Qi Pavilion had already opened up completely. Anyone from the Xiao family could go and learn whenever they wanted, including the martial arts techniques. Xiao Yan had originally planned to pick up a martial arts technique tonight and leave after learning it.

Just when Xiao Yan was confused, Xiao Yu started to explain.

"The Xiao family is fine now, but Canaan College will come here to recruit students in a while. Why don't you participate in the recruitment before leaving?"

"Yes! Canaan College!" Xiao Mei instantly became excited after hearing Xiao Yu's words, "Cousin Xiao Yan, come with us to participate in the enrollment! Maybe you won't leave!"

Hearing Xiao Mei's words, Xiao Xun'er's eyes also showed a glimmer of hope.

But it only lasted for a moment, and then the hope disappeared, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Xiao Yan's decision will not change because of the reputation of Canaan Academy.

And the fact was just as Xiao Xun'er thought. Xiao Yan's first reaction after hearing Xiao Yu's words was to refuse.

Going to college or traveling to perfect one's righteous path, it goes without saying which is more important to Xiao Yan, even if it is the famous Canaan College.

However, just as Xiao Yan was about to open his mouth to reject Xiao Yu's proposal, Yao Chen's voice suddenly sounded in Xiao Yan's mind.

(There is a strange fire in Canaan College. You should definitely go there.)

Hearing Yao Chen's words, Xiao Yan frowned slightly.

To be honest, he was not very eager for the strange fire, nor did he think that the strange fire could play a decisive role in his righteous path.

But no matter what, teacher Yao Chen has already spoken, so Xiao Yan naturally won't act on his own. He looked at Xiao Yu and nodded slightly.

"Okay, I'll leave after I finish the enrollment."

"awesome!!!"

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's answer, Xiao Mei jumped up with joy, but Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun'er sighed helplessly in their hearts.

Instead of considering it after taking the admissions, should we take the admissions and then go?

Xiao Yan's words made the two understand that no matter what the final enrollment result was, Xiao Yan would definitely go.

But it’s not bad.

Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun'er thought in unison.

It would be good if he could stay a few more days.

"I'm going back to my room to pack my things."

Xiao Yan said this, waved goodbye to the three people, returned to his room, closed the door, turned sideways and called softly into the air.

"Senior Yao."

Following Xiao Yan's call, Yao Chen's shadow appeared in the air. Xiao Yan looked at her, saluted with his fists, and asked in a solemn voice.

"Disciple dares to ask, why do you value that strange fire so much?"

These days, Xiao Yan occasionally heard Yao Chen talk about some things about the strange fire, and there was one thing Xiao Yan remembered most clearly.

The same person's body cannot contain two different kinds of fire.

Of course, this is not absolute, but at least Yao Chen said it herself that even with her strength before her death, having a strange fire in her body was already the limit.

In this case, there is no need for Yao Chen to seek the Fallen Heart Flame of Canaan Academy.

Looking at the disciple in front of him, Yao Chen fell silent.

[Because it can greatly improve your strength. ]

If it was before, Yao Chen would definitely answer like this.

This statement is indeed true, but it completely conceals his true intentions.

This is tantamount to cheating.

But after the fireworks yesterday, Yao Chen had already decided in his heart that he would no longer hide anything from Xiao Yan, let alone lie to Xiao Yan again.

Yao Chen knew very well that the strange fire did not bring much help to Xiao Yan's righteous path, not to mention that absorbing the strange fire was a life-threatening act.

In short, there was no reason for Xiao Yan to risk his life to obtain the strange fire.

But, Yao Chen needed it! Yao Chen needed Xiao Yan to risk his life to obtain the strange fire!

Yao Chen in mid-air waved her jade hand lightly, and a red scroll and a black scroll appeared in front of Xiao Yan respectively.

Afterwards, Yao Chen's beautiful face became serious for a rare time as he looked at Xiao Yan solemnly.

"The red scroll is a low-level earth-level technique with fire attribute, called Fire Repelling Palm."

"The black scroll is a low-level yellow-grade fire-attribute technique called the Burning Technique."

Listening to Yao Chen's introduction, Xiao Yan frowned slightly but did not interrupt.

There are martial arts with such a huge level gap, and the reasons for the medicine sinking will be placed in front of him at the same time.

If this is the case, it can only be that the low-level yellow-grade martial arts technique called Burning Art hides the secret.

Then, Yao Chen spoke again.

"Although the levels of these two techniques are very different, according to the description of the Burning Technique technique, it can be evolved into a Heaven-level technique."

! ! ! ! !

Hearing Yao Chen's words, Xiao Yan's pupils suddenly shrank.

A technique that can evolve? ! Unheard of! ! !

Although he was extremely shocked in his heart, Xiao Yan did not doubt Yao Chen's words at all.

Since Yao Chen said so, then this is what this technique is all about.

At this moment, Xiao Yan suddenly understood something, raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Yao Chen and asked.

"Senior Yao, could it be that the conditions for the evolution of this technique are related to the strange fire?"

"Yes."

Yao Chen nodded, and then uttered a horrifying word.

"The Burning Technique is a technique that evolves by devouring strange fire!"

Chapter 49 Until Forever

Evolving by swallowing strange fire? !

Hearing Yao Chen's words, Xiao Yan's heart suddenly shuddered.

Xiao Yan clearly remembered what Yao Chen had told him, that she had gone through a lot of hardships and barely succeeded in absorbing the Bone Spirit Cold Fire after almost escaping death.

However, practicing this Burning Technique means that one must go through several life-threatening situations before being able to evolve?

Xiao Yan couldn't help but reveal a hint of astonishment in his eyes.

The heavenly grade technique sounded very tempting indeed, even Xiao Yan couldn't help but be tempted.

But this process is too dangerous.

However, the most crucial issue was that Xiao Yan had no reason to risk his life, and Xiao Yan was very clear about this.

But Xiao Yan also understood in his heart that practicing the Burning Technique was not important to him, but it was very important to Yao Chen.

Otherwise, there would be no need for Yao Chen to mention this technique to himself.

In this case, Xiao Yan does not need to hesitate.

“Senior Yao.” Xiao Yan clasped his hands together and saluted Yao Chen solemnly, “Disciple, I am willing to practice the Burning Technique.”

! ! ! ! !

Xiao Yan's words made Yao Chen suddenly stunned, and the unfinished words were choked in his throat.

She believed that with Xiao Yan's personality, there was a great possibility that he would practice the Burning Art for her sake.

But Yao Chen never expected that Xiao Yan would take the initiative to agree before he explained the pros and cons clearly.

"Xiao Yan?! Don't you want to reconsider it?" Yao Chen looked at Xiao Yan in astonishment, his tone becoming somewhat anxious, "The matter of cultivation techniques is extremely important for your early stage cultivation, and according to our estimate, the possibility of successfully cultivating this Burning Technique is less than 20%! It is also accompanied by life-threatening dangers at all times!!!"

Practicing the Burning Technique meant that he would have to endure the pain and danger of absorbing the strange fire several times in the future! Xiao Yan himself could not be unaware of this!

Looking at Yao Chen, whose face was filled with anxiety, in the air, Xiao Yan smiled slightly, a tender look also appeared on his face, and spoke in a gentle but extremely firm tone.

“Senior Yao, you need a disciple to practice the Burning Technique, right?”

"A drop of water should be repaid with a spring of water. Moreover, Senior Yao, you have helped me and the Xiao family so much before. At present, I am not capable enough. The only way to repay your kindness is to fulfill your wish."

“So, Xiao Yan has no choice but to practice the Burning Art! No matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead is, I will do my best to keep going!”

Under Yao Chen's dull gaze, Xiao Yan knelt on the ground, clasped his hands together and spoke in a solemn voice.

"I am your disciple, and you are my mentor. This is only natural!"

Looking at Xiao Yan kneeling in front of him, Yao Chen slowly came back to his senses.

My eyes couldn't help but become moist.

Yes, Xiao Yan is such a person.

He always follows and adheres to the right path, and he knows better than anyone how difficult the road ahead is.

However, Xiao Yan still decided to go forward without hesitation.

Practicing the Burning Technique would undoubtedly make his already difficult future even more difficult.

But so what?

If he didn't repay this favor, Xiao Yan's righteous path would become a falsehood! Xiao Yan himself would look down on himself!

There will never be any regret in his heart about this decision!

"Really? Hurry up and get up!" Yao Chen waved his hands quickly, staring at Xiao Yan with some anger, "How dare you make me cry? You are such an excessive disciple. It seems that I have to find a chance to teach you a lesson later!"

"I hope Senior Yao will show mercy."

Xiao Yan chuckled and slowly stood up. Yao Chen gradually calmed down his excited heart and looked at Xiao Yan seriously and said.

"Although you have agreed to practice the Burning Technique, I still need to explain to you clearly why I want you to practice the Burning Technique."

"Senior Yao, please speak."
