Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

Xiao Yan lowered his head and thought for a moment, then asked.

"For future teachers, Xiao Yan really cannot use such an impolite title. Can I respectfully address you as Senior Yao?"

"Well, it's passable. At least it doesn't have the word 'old' on it."

Yao Chen pondered for a moment and nodded slightly, agreeing with Xiao Yan's address.

After all, considering Xiao Yan's personality, this is probably his final retreat.

Chapter 8: Eight Extreme Collapse

"Since you have already accepted me as your master, I should teach you something right away."

Yao Chen said this, and Xiao Yan was slightly stunned.

"Is it refining medicine?"

"You wishful thinking, kid." Yao Chen shook his head slightly, "Refine medicine requires fighting spirit to support it. With the little fighting spirit you have now, I'm afraid you can't even light the furnace."

After saying that, Yao Chen floated in front of Xiao Yan and lightly tapped his brow with his finger.

"I will now teach you a fighting skill that does not require much fighting spirit to support it. It is completely suitable for your current situation."

In an instant, Xiao Yan felt something surge into his mind, and his pupils suddenly dilated.

Xuan-level advanced fighting skill, Baji Collapse!

You should know that the Xiao family’s current highest level of fighting skills is only the intermediate level of the Xuan level!

Moreover, according to the description of the fighting skill, if this fighting skill is practiced to perfection, its power will be comparable to that of low-level earth-level fighting skills!

"Xiao Yan thanks Senior Yao!"

"Get up, get up~ There's no need to go through all that empty formalities for us." Yao Chen raised his hand impatiently, with a hint of sadness in his eyes, "Empty formalities, after all, are just empty formalities."

Xiao Yan looked at the lonely Yao Chen and frowned tightly.

This teacher seems to have a past that he doesn't want to talk about.

Then Xiao Yan turned his attention to the fighting skill Baji Collapse again, muttering slowly.

"Eight levels of strength, eight levels of superposition"

At this time, Yao Chen also came back to his senses from the pain, looked at Xiao Yan and gave instructions.

"By the way, although this fighting skill doesn't require much fighting spirit to support it, it is extremely demanding on the body, so don't rush for success."

Bang! ! !

Yao Chen's words came to an abrupt halt. He stared blankly at Xiao Yan who was blasting the two-meter-long huge stone into pieces. He was unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

What the hell?

This kid is using it right now?

Xiao Yan naturally did not notice Yao Chen's astonishment, and looked excitedly at the broken stones on the ground in front of him.

"It's just as Senior Yao said! The power of this fighting skill is terrifying!"

Before, Xiao Yan was able to smash the stone but it took his continuous efforts, but now he can break the stubborn stone in one go!

Then Xiao Yan turned to Yao Chen and clasped his fists again.

"Junior Xiao Yan, thank you again Yao Qian."

“Stop stop stop stop!!!”

Yao Chen repeatedly stopped Xiao Yan from thanking him a second time. He floated beside Xiao Yan and surrounded him. From time to time, he reached out to touch Xiao Yan's body, with an extremely horrifying look in his eyes.

"You kid, you are only at the third level of fighting power, but your physique is comparable to that of a fighter."

Fighting spirit can strengthen your physical body.

Although physical strength can also enhance fighting spirit, the effect is minimal.

Therefore, everyone is trying their best to practice Dou Qi, because the benefits of practicing Dou Qi are much greater than those of physical training.

However, compared to practicing fighting spirit, physical training has an absolute advantage, and that is the foundation.

Utilizing the bonus of fighting spirit can indeed give you a strong physique, but on the other hand, when the fighting spirit is insufficient or even exhausted, your physique will become extremely weak.

But there is no such worry when exercising the physical body. The basic strength of the physical body is there, and it will not decrease even if the fighting spirit is gone.

"Before, Xiao Yan had no progress in his fighting spirit, so he could only focus on training his physique. This move was also helpless."

"Alright, alright! The more you talk, the more guilty I feel!"

Yao Chen quickly waved his hand to signal Xiao Yan to stop talking.

Why did Xiao Yan's fighting spirit not improve at all? Wasn't it because he had been stealing it in secret?

Although Xiao Yan did not mention a word about the fact that his Dou Qi was stolen by him, this was revealed between the lines all the time, even though Xiao Yan himself did not intend to blame Yao Chen.

"But this way, it will be easier for you to recover your strength." Yao Chen raised a finger and said slowly, "Physical strength and fighting spirit actually complement each other. Although everyone is practicing fighting spirit, in fact, if you can train your physical strength to exceed the limit that fighting spirit can accommodate, it will be quite easy for fighting spirit to catch up."

".Senior Yao, please forgive Xiao Yan for being so stupid."

There was a hint of confusion in Xiao Yan's eyes, and Yao Chen patiently explained.

"To put it simply, we originally expected you to return to the seventh level of fighting power within a year, but now it seems that you can achieve it in three months at most, and there will be no problem in upgrading to a fighter within half a year!"

Yao Chen said confidently, and Xiao Yan's face also showed excitement.

In just half a year, you can return to the realm of fighter!

Just when Xiao Yan was extremely excited, Yao Chen spoke again.

"Of course, you have to find these things on the list first~"

Yao Chen made a list in the void. Looking at the items on the list, Xiao Yan frowned and stared for a moment, then nodded.

"Tomorrow, Xiao Yan will immediately go and buy the items listed on the list."

"That's all for today." Yao Chen looked up at the starry sky, "It's getting late, you should go back and rest, so as not to worry your family."

During the time when Yao Chen woke up but did not show up, she, who was hiding in the ring, also got to know Xiao Yan's family deeply through Xiao Yan.

In the remote Wutan City, the small Xiao family is no different from a speck of dust in Yao Chen's eyes.

However, it is such a weak family that no one would care about even if it suddenly disappeared one day, but it possesses something that even a strong man like Yao Chen envies.

That is, emotion.

This continent has long been eroded by the idea of ​​the survival of the fittest.

No matter who you are, you have believed in this idea deep down since you were born.

But the Xiao family is different. They do not pursue powerful strength too much. Instead, they pay more attention to family affection. Although this family is as weak as dust, its cohesion is so strong that even Yao Chen feels scared.

And this was all because of Xiao Yan in front of him.

Yao Chen lowered his head and looked at Xiao Yan, his ruby-like pupils flickering with light.

Does this child really want to change the entire continent?

With such doubts in mind, Yao Chen returned to the ring on Xiao Yan's chest. Xiao Yan also slowly left the back mountain and walked towards the Xiao family.

On the way, Xiao Yan seemed to remember something and asked Yao Chen in the ring.

"Senior Yao, can you please tell others about the Eight Extreme Collapse that you taught me?"

When Yao Chen heard what Xiao Yan said, he immediately understood what he meant.

"It's up to you. It's not a big deal."

"Xiao Yan thanks Senior Yao!"

"Come on, could you please stop being so respectful to me?"

"How can we be disrespectful to our teachers?!"

"."

After returning to the Xiao family, just as Yao Chen had expected, Xiao Yan found a scroll in his room and wrote down the practice essentials and usage conditions of Baji Collapse on it without reservation, but he did not write down the fighting skill level of Baji Collapse.

Xiao Yan also gave an explanation for this.

“Perhaps for Senior Yao, this fighting skill is not a rare thing.” Xiao Yan put away the scroll after writing it, and said slowly: “But in our Wutan City, a high-level Xuan-level fighting skill is enough to make people jealous, and even do something that is detrimental to the Xiao family, so Xiao Yan must do his best to avoid it.”

"You kid."

Yao Chen was deeply shocked, and his evaluation of Xiao Yan went up another level.

He treats his family members with all his heart and is generous, while making every effort to avoid his contributions bringing disaster to the family.

If it were someone else, it would be difficult to teach such a precious thing to others, and they would not even consider whether this thing would bring disaster to others.

From a normal person's perspective, giving a favor is already a great gift, and other subsequent bad consequences have nothing to do with oneself.

(Maybe. We really found a good disciple this time.)

Yao Chen thought so in his heart.

Chapter 9 Going Further

The next morning, sunlight poured into the room from the window. Xiao Yan woke up slowly and stared blankly at the ring hanging on his chest. He did not move for a long time.

"What's wrong, kid? Are you confused?"

The sudden voice in his mind brought Xiao Yan back to his senses, and he smiled awkwardly.

"No, I just thought what happened last night was just a dream."

Indeed, no matter who you ask, what happened last night would seem unrealistic.

When I was at my lowest point in life, a beautiful woman suddenly appeared, took me in as her disciple, helped me improve my strength, and was ready to teach me the art of alchemy. It was impossible not to feel unreal.

"Hmph~" Yao Chen snorted and urged, "Now that you're awake, go get some herbs."

"Yes!"

Xiao Yan responded and stood up to put on his clothes.

While getting dressed, Xiao Yan seemed to remember something and asked awkwardly.

"Um, Senior Yao, can you see outside when you are in the ring?"

"I can see it~ I saw it clearly, including the incident where your cousin dragged you to Ningchun Tower the day before yesterday." At this point, Yao Chen suddenly became interested and started to tease him, "It seems like you're still a virgin? How can this be possible? If you're not used to women, you'll probably be cheated out of everything in the future~"

"Well"

Xiao Yan's face turned slightly red and he asked back awkwardly.

"What about Senior Yao?"

"Me? There were so many men who wanted to pursue me at that time, but I just didn't like any of them."

Yao Chen said this very proudly, and Xiao Yan didn't think he was lying.

Yao Chen's appearance is like that of a goddess from heaven, and he is also a pharmacist. His original strength should be pretty good, so he must have no shortage of suitors.

Although her personality is really hard to describe, she is just like a female hooligan.

But this was not what Xiao Yan wanted to ask.

"The disciple actually wanted to ask Senior Yao if he had forgotten about it, but the disciple didn't say anything."

"If you have anything to say, just ask. Don't waste time here!"

Yao Chen cursed impatiently, but then he thought of his previous words and immediately understood what Xiao Yan wanted to ask, and scolded him harshly.

"You traitor! How dare you offend your own teacher?!"

"Disciple knows his mistake!"

Xiao Yan was also very clear and straightforward in apologizing to Yao Chen.

Yao Chen snorted coldly and there was no more sound.

At this point, Xiao Yan still didn't know.

Is this teacher of mine?

Xiao Yan immediately shook his head, put aside the rude thoughts in his mind, took the scroll he had written yesterday and left the room. He happened to meet Xiao Mei and Xiao Xun'er who came to wake him up.
