Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

After what happened with Yun Yun, Yao Chen swore in his heart that he would never mess around with such things again. Even though Yun Yun and Xiao Yan were willing, it had caused him such a headache. If what happened to Xiao Yan and Cai Lin was because of him, Yao Chen would feel ashamed to continue following Xiao Yan.

Fortunately, Xiao Yan shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice.

"It has nothing to do with you, Senior Yao. It was my disciple who was blinded by the Fallen Heart Flame at that time."

Hearing Xiao Yan say this, Yao Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

Phew~ It’s okay, it’s okay, as long as it has nothing to do with us.

Knowing that it was not his fault, Yao Chen suddenly stood up and looked at Xiao Yan teasingly.

"Of course, Xiao Yanzi~ Even the famous Queen Medusa was conquered by you." Yao Chen came to Xiao Yan's side, raised his hand to hold his shoulders and teased, "Master, you know that the snake people have always had strong desires in that aspect. Once they start, they will never stop until they are satisfied."

"Come on, come on, tell me, how long have you been doing this?"

Hearing Yao Chen's question, Xiao Yan's whole face twisted.

Would an average teacher ask his or her students this kind of question?

But considering Yao Chen's gangster-like personality, Xiao Yan didn't find it strange at all.

As for this teacher whose moral integrity can be said to be questionable, it is not surprising that she would say any dirty words, even though she herself is as beautiful as a fairy.

The most terrifying thing is that such vulgar words came out of the mouth of such a beautiful woman who is as beautiful as a fairy, but others did not feel it was inappropriate at all.

"Tell me, Master. I'm very interested."

Xiao Yan originally did not want to say anything, but he could not resist Yao Chen's coquettish words and soft persuasion in his ear. For a normal man, it was really a torture to have such a peerless beauty constantly harassing him with seductive words in his ear.

Finally, Xiao Yan couldn't stand the torture any longer, and he helplessly and silently raised his two index fingers, crossing them to indicate a number.

"Ten hours? Xiao Yanzi, you are pretty amazing~"

Yao Chen laughed and patted Xiao Yan on the back. Xiao Yan turned his eyes slightly and corrected him in a faint voice.

"It's ten days and ten nights."

"Forehead?"

Yao Chen was suddenly stunned, and floated in front of Xiao Yan, staring at him closely, making Xiao Yan feel embarrassed.

After a long time, Yao Chen slowly revealed.

"Xiao Yanzi, you really have been holding it in for too long, haven't you?" Yao Chen pinched his chin lightly and said seriously, "Ten days and ten nights, this is really a bit outrageous. I guess most people can't take one-fifth of the amount of pills you do. Is your kidney okay?"

"."

Xiao Yan lowered his head and covered his face with his hands, looking extremely ashamed.

It was precisely because Xiao Yan knew that his teacher had this kind of personality that he didn't want to tell her.

When Yao Chen saw Xiao Yan in this state he hadn't seen for a long time, he immediately became playful.

In the past two years, Xiao Yan has become more and more mature. His previous understanding of him and all the teasings towards him did not cause any fluctuations in his heart, which made Yao Chen quite disappointed. Now that he finally got the chance, how could he let it go?

"Xiao Yanzi, do you know how many men will envy you if you tell them this?"

"Don't even mention men. If women knew about this, they would probably line up to get close to you. You have a lot of money to spend~"

"No wonder Cai Lin is pregnant. Ten days and ten nights, who can endure that?"

"Come, tell me how it feels. Do you feel like you are ascending to heaven?"

"But it's fortunate that it's Cai Lin. If it was Yun Yun, she would definitely not be able to bear it. Ten days and ten nights. Yun Yun is just a Little Dou Huang, let alone a day. I'm afraid she would be tormented by you for a whole night."

Yao Chen surrounded Xiao Yan and teased him with words, which made Yao Tianhuo who was standing beside him stunned.

To be honest, Yao Tianhuo himself is a very tough person, but even so, he still couldn't believe the scene before him.

Although she had probably guessed from their previous interactions that Yao Chen and she had the same unconventional, leisurely and carefree personality, she had never expected it to be so unbearable.

Not only is such a beautiful woman full of dirty jokes, but the person she tells them to is her own disciple, and it seems like she enjoys it?

She is so beautiful, how can her personality be so bad?

"Senior Yao!"

Xiao Yan couldn't stand being teased any more and couldn't help but growl. Yao Chen then retreated with a smile, a look of satisfaction on his face.

Ha~ That's exactly the feeling. I haven't teased my apprentice for two years, and now I've made up for it all.

Just two words, comfortable~

Xiao Yan also knew his teacher's character a long time ago. He let out a long sigh and looked up at Yao Chen.

Yao Chen looked at Xiao Yan's serious expression and also became serious, knowing that Xiao Yan had something important to tell her next.

"Senior Yao, how are your and Senior Tianhuo's souls recovering now?"

"It has recovered about 50% to 60%." Yao Chen squeezed his hands lightly and said calmly: "If you want to recover more, you need more precious medicinal herbs. Those medicinal herbs are not so easy to find. It is enough for now."

"Yes." Xiao Yan nodded slightly, and then said: "There is one more thing. Before going to Zhongzhou, I want to practice another extremely deterrent fighting skill. I want to ask Senior Yao if there is anything similar."

"Ah? Aren't the ones I gave you enough?"

Yao Tianhuo looked at Xiao Yan in confusion, and Xiao Yan replied with a chuckle.

“The three fighting skills that Senior Tianhuo gave me are very powerful. They can really help me improve my combat power.” Xiao Yan paused, then continued, “But what I want is a fighting skill that doesn’t need to be proven by use, but is enough to make the opponent retreat just by showing it.”

"If you want to talk about powerful fighting skills, there are a few, but your requirements are not good enough."

Yao Chen was troubled, Xiao Yan looked at her and said.

“In fact, I have had an idea these days.” Xiao Yan glanced at Yao Tianhuo and said, “I heard earlier that Senior Tianhuo wanted to break through through the energy generated by the collision of two independent strange fires, but he failed and was seriously injured.”

"Although the explosion took place inside the body, it also proves that the power was quite strong, and it was able to severely injure Senior Tianhuo, who was a semi-saint in his lifetime."

"If different kinds of fire converge and collide, the power will definitely be much greater than expected. It can even deter the enemy without using them, thus avoiding many unnecessary disputes."

As Xiao Yan said this, Yao Chen's eyes became more and more shocked.

She seemed to have guessed what Xiao Yan wanted to do.

Chapter 535 How did I end up with you as my husband?

On a plain thousands of miles away from the Black Horn Region, Xiao Yan sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes slightly closed, and his whole body showed an extremely relaxed posture.

In front of him, there appeared a gorgeous lotus flower the size of a palm. The three colors on the lotus flower changed alternately, which looked very beautiful. However, no matter who stared at the lotus flower, an uncontrollable sense of fear would emerge in their hearts.

Even without seeing it with one's own eyes, one can clearly understand how terrifyingly powerful this lotus is.

A thousand meters behind Xiao Yan, Cai Lin and the others were watching silently. Yao Tianhuo, whose body was fire, pinched his chin lightly, his eyes revealing deep admiration.

"This kid is really capable. He actually combined the three kinds of strange fire together, and he was able to ensure that they would not lose control."

"That's right, this is our disciple~"

The illusory Yao Chen on the side raised his chin proudly, looking at the lotus with his ruby-like eyes, with a hint of fear in his eyes.

To be honest, given her current condition, if she were affected by this lotus, she would most likely be killed.

At this time, Xiao Yan also slowly opened his eyes. His black eyes looked at the gorgeous lotus in front of him. He smiled slightly, and his eyes revealed a deep sense of luck.

Three different kinds of strange fire not only need to be kept independent of each other but also must be combined together, and they must also remain stable. This requires a very high level of control over the soul. The fact that he was able to complete it so safely is also thanks to the guidance of Yao Chen, the number one alchemist on the continent, and Yao Tianhuo, a man with abnormal fire control ability.

Even though this lotus is only the size of a palm, it actually took Xiao Yan a whole day to gather it together and maintain stability. Of course, this was only difficult the first time he tried. Once he completed it once and mastered the trick, it would be much easier to perform it again.

To be honest, Xiao Yan was really on edge during the process of condensing this lotus and did not dare to relax at all. If something unexpected happened to this thing, he would probably be dead or disabled, so he specifically asked Cai Lin to help watch over it.

With the presence of Dou Zun Cai Lin, even if he couldn't control himself for the moment, she could use her spatial ability to help him escape from danger.

Cai Lin looked at the lotus in front of Xiao Yan. The fear of the monster made her body tremble. Her nerves were tense and she was ready to drag Xiao Yan over at any time, cursing inwardly.

"This guy never does anything that makes us feel at ease!"

Cai Lin understood in her heart that she would have to worry a lot if she followed him to Zhongzhou. At the same time, she was glad that she had made up her mind to follow him. She didn't think that Xiao Yan would not do such a thing just because she was not there as a safety precaution.

“Cai Lin.” Xiao Yan used his soul power to drag the lotus, slowly stood up, turned his head and looked at her, “I will throw this lotus in the air in a while, please drag me over.”

"understood."

Cai Lin curled her lips slightly and responded softly. Xiao Yan nodded and threw the lotus in his hand into the sky. Then Cai Lin clenched her palms, and in the blink of an eye, Xiao Yan crossed a distance of a thousand meters and stood beside Cai Lin.

"Thank you."

Xiao Yan thanked him with a smile, and couldn't help but feel emotional in his heart.

Dou Zun's ability to control space is really convenient. If it were him, he would probably have to go to great lengths to fly to a height of more than a thousand meters before he could drop the lotus.

At this moment, the lotus that Xiao Yan threw up slowly fell to the ground. The moment the lotus touched the wasteland, brilliant flashes of light burst out from the inside of the lotus, blinding everyone so that they could not open their eyes.

Then, it was as if the whole world lost all sound for a few seconds and became extremely quiet, yet the ears continued to ring.

Then there was a burst of white light that enveloped the entire field of vision, deafening, as if the sound of the world being destroyed suddenly erupted, and the earth also began to tremble violently.

boom! ! !

In the Black Horn Region, Old Man Yingshan was leisurely tasting the freshly bought fragrant tea in his residence.

At this moment, he was sitting on the sofa, holding the teacup in both hands, smelling the faint fragrance, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

People always have to have some hobbies. Old Man Yingshan used to be a person with no hobbies. He only thought about how to become stronger. But after he went to Zhongzhou and came back, he stopped doing that forever. He no longer focused on becoming stronger and instead became interested in tea.

Now collecting various kinds of tea and studying which kind of tea is the best to brew has become an indispensable task for the old man in Yingshan.

There is no way. The gap between people is sometimes even bigger than the gap between people and dogs. Some things are destined to happen, and no matter how much you complain, nothing will change.

In this case, it is better to just give up, which is also a way of letting yourself go.

Old Man Yingshan is quite lucky, as he is one of those people who can be open-minded. In his life, he has seen many poor people who have become half-human and half-ghost because of their broken Taoist hearts. In the end, these people really live their whole lives like walking corpses, and they don't know why they worked so hard until they die.

This kind of person is a tragedy. They can't even be considered alive. At best, they are just not dead.

Some people are born in that position, and you can't replace them by working hard.

You work hard, so won’t others work hard too?

You have to accept your fate.

If a person wants to achieve his or her ideals, hard work is important, but luck certainly plays a large role.

Family background, resources, talent, timing, location, and even the harmony among people brought about by these factors all fall into the realm of luck and cannot be obtained through hard work alone.

If you cannot compare with those who are at the top, it’s not because you don’t work hard enough, but because those people are born in a position where they have the opportunity to reach the top. It’s not your fault, so there’s no need to blame yourself too much.

But unfortunately, some people just can't understand this point. Either they powerlessly denounce the unfairness of fate and still live every day with complaints, or they clamor that they never believe in fate and fight to the end until they beat themselves to pieces.

Life is supposed to be fun, but you're just killing yourself. What's the point?

Maybe some people are really lucky and have achieved their dreams, but to put it bluntly, there may not be only one such person among tens of millions of people.

On the other hand, old man Yingshan himself is quite satisfied with his current life. He no longer has to guard against attacks from nowhere every day, nor does he have to worry so much that he can't sleep well. He can also concentrate on his hobby of tea.

As for the top of the world, he would not even think about it anymore. He was already living a good life now, so why should he set an unattainable goal for himself and torture himself.

"Ha~~~Good tea~"

Old Man Yingshan drank the cup of tea, nodded with satisfaction, and took out his notebook to write it down.

[Qinghe scented tea has a light and elegant taste but a long aftertaste. It is a rare treasure and is very suitable for relieving fatigue. ]

Old Man Yingshan wrote this down in his notebook. Looking forward, he saw that half of the notebook was already filled with dense notes, and every page was a description of various kinds of tea.

Anyway, he would settle down in Black Horn Region in the future, so he had nothing to do. Recently, he happened to hear Yuan Yi say that Black Horn Region was going to vigorously attract investment, and Old Man Yingshan was also thinking about buying a shop specializing in selling tea. For him, it was a very happy thing to have a hobby to pass the time.

"Speaking of which, I really have to thank Xiao Yan."

Old man Yingshan closed his notebook and looked at the empty teacup on the table, his old eyes flickering slightly.

A year ago, he would never have thought of selling tea in the Black Horn Region, something that had nothing to do with cultivation.

But now, I can really imagine this small and stable future.

The old man Yingshan has already determined in his heart that as long as Xiao Yan is not dead, this continent will surely slowly undergo earth-shaking changes, including the Zhongzhou area where there are many powerful people.

"It's still early, let's make another pot."

The old man from Yingshan stood up slowly, hunched over, holding a kettle in his hand. Just looking at his appearance, you couldn't tell that he was a Dou Zong warrior, but an old man in his twilight years who couldn't even lift a table.

Old Man Yingshan poured the remaining tea in the kettle into a container beside the table, then went to the sink to clean the teapot and took out a bag of obviously different tea leaves. Just as he opened it and was about to put it into the teapot, a sudden vibration caused the teapot on the table to fall to the ground. His old eyes suddenly widened, and he suddenly turned his head to look in one direction, his eyes filled with astonishment.

Is this a fighting skill? How could it be so powerful?!

Old Man Yingshan could clearly feel that the place where the fighting skills were performed was far away from the Black Horn Region, but it still caused such a shock to the Black Horn Region.

Earth level fighting skills?
