Although the Han family was just an insignificant local family in Zhongzhou, even a small family was considered small in a Zhongzhou full of experts.
In Zhongzhou, where strong people were everywhere, the Han family had seen Dou Zun level experts before. Now, after feeling Xiao Yan's terrifying aura, Han Yue finally confirmed that the genius boy who had once caused a stir in Zhongzhou had now stepped into the Dou Zun realm.
A seventeen-year-old Dou Zun. Faced with such heaven-defying talent, Han Yue could only gently cover her rosy lips with her jade hand and didn't know what to do.
Since meeting Xiao Yan, her shock and bewilderment had never stopped, so much so that now, seeing this scene that was impossible even in legends, she was completely blank and didn't know what to do.
In the sky, Xiao Yan's slightly thin body stood tall, like a straight spear that seemed to be able to pierce the sky.
Feeling the vast Dou Qi in his body, even he, who had seen a lot in the world, couldn't help but feel a little excited.
The Dou Zun realm is the watershed between true powerhouses on the continent. Stepping into this realm marks the beginning of a slow journey towards transcendence and sainthood.
For most beings on the continent, Dou Zun experts are legendary figures they may never even see in their lifetime.
In fact, aside from those Dou Zun experts from ancient races who ascended more easily through bloodline power, the life of every wild Dou Zun could truly be written into a magnificent and epic story.
"Rumble!" Within his internal Qi Sea, unheard by the outside world, the surging Dou Qi did not stop growing but continued to rise at a terrifying speed.
Although the Sea Heart Flame was only ranked fifteenth on the Strange Flame Ranking, the terrifying power it contained would not stop merely by helping Xiao Yan break through to Dou Zun.
Under the mysterious cultivation techniques like the Burning Technique and the terrifying energy supply of the Sea Heart Flame, Xiao Yan's aura continued to soar, reaching the peak of the One-Star Dou Zun level without stopping.
However, at this moment, an invisible barrier blocked Xiao Yan's path.
This was clearly the bottleneck leading to a two-star Dou Zun.
Sensing this bottleneck, Xiao Yan didn't hesitate. He let out a low shout and mobilized the terrifying power from refining the Sea Heart Flame, charging directly towards the invisible barrier.
"Thump thump thump!"
Deep, muffled sounds, like a giant splitting a mountain, continuously emanated from Xiao Yan's body, each sound causing Han Yue, watching from afar, to turn pale.
At this moment, a black-clad, aged figure silently appeared in front of Han Yue, circulating Dou Qi to block the terrifying force for her.
However, at this moment, the usually composed Su Qian, looking at the gaunt figure in the sky, had a hint of awe in his old eyes.
A Dou Zun expert—that was a true top-tier expert on the continent. In the entire Black Corner Region, only the Dean possessed such a figure.
Such an expert was practically a true overlord in the Northwest Continent; a single stomp of his foot could make countless empires tremble.
Just as he was gazing at Xiao Yan's towering figure with envy and awe, a sound like shattering glass resounded once more from within Xiao Yan's body.
With this sound, Xiao Yan's aura, which had been slowly stagnating, erupted again like a volcanic eruption.
The overwhelming pressure caused even Su Qian, hundreds of feet away, to slightly change his expression.
"A two-star Dou Zun..." Su Qian's lips twitched slightly as he watched Xiao Yan's terrifyingly rising aura.
He himself had been advancing one star at the Dou Zun level for years or even decades, while Xiao Yan in the sky had advanced another star in a short time. Such a terrifying rate of advancement made him feel as sour as if he had eaten a lemon.
With the barrier of the two-star Dou Zun broken, the energy that had been surging within Xiao Yan's body finally began to slow down, and after continuing its surge for a while, it finally subsided completely.
Thus, the immense benefits brought by refining and devouring the Sea Heart Flame finally ceased to grow.
After sensing that the surging Dou Qi within his body had finally stopped, Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes, which had been tightly closed.
From the depths of his jet-black pupils, a multicolored pillar of flame transformed into a beam of light and shot towards the valley below.
The two multicolored pillars were only the thickness of a finger, but the moment they appeared, the surrounding temperature suddenly increased, and the air became incredibly dry.
Then, the two pillars struck the ground, leaving two deep, dark holes nearly ten feet in diameter.
Lava-like flow slowly trickled down the cave walls.
"This is the wondrous power of the Burning Technique,"
Xiao Yan murmured, a look of rapture on his face as he felt the vast, boundless Dou Qi within him.
At that moment, the previously dry and calm sky suddenly whipped up a fierce wind, and thick layers of dark clouds instantly enveloped the surrounding area for hundreds of miles.
"What...what's going on?"
Han Yue and Su Qian, already bewildered, both paled.
The scene before them was clearly a terrifying celestial phenomenon, yet Xiao Yan didn't seem to be refining any seventh-grade pills.
Moreover, judging by the power of this terrifying phenomenon, it was likely far beyond what could be caused by refining ordinary seventh-grade pills.
As for the other reasons that triggered this celestial phenomenon, those were beyond their comprehension.
Only Xiao Yan, still standing in the center of this terrifying phenomenon, knew the cause: the evolution of the Burning Technique.
Through his continuous efforts, Xiao Yan had now collected all five kinds of strange flames, finally pushing the Burning Technique to the quasi-Heavenly Rank.
Unfortunately, he was currently only absorbing the Sea Heart Flame, ranked fifteenth among the strange flames. If he could absorb a Bone Spirit Cold Flame or a strange flame ranked in the top ten, the power of the Burning Technique might break through to the true Heavenly Rank.
Looking at the terrifying phenomenon in the sky, a smile appeared on Xiao Yan's lips, and then he waved his hand.
With a flick of his sleeve, an invisible wave of soul energy emanated from between his brows. Under the sweep of this energy, the thick black cloud in the sky ceased its churning.
Finally, to the astonishment of Su Qian and Han Yue, it slowly dissipated, and as the black cloud vanished, bright sunlight once again shone into the valley.
"Is this the Burning Technique at the Quasi-Heavenly Rank?"
With the black cloud gone, Xiao Yan closed his eyes again, and with a thought, the Burning Technique began to circulate once more.
The instant the Burning Technique was activated, the energy within a hundred feet of Xiao Yan surged violently like boiling water.
Immediately afterwards, streams of immense energy poured into Xiao Yan's body like rivers flowing into the sea.
Although this energy was incredibly mixed, Xiao Yan accepted it all. As the strange fire rose, the mottled and complex energy was instantly refined into the purest form through burning. This refined energy
then transformed into Dou Qi and flowed into Xiao Yan's Qi vortex, making the speed of Dou Qi circulation within his body more than ten times stronger than before.
This power wasn't just in the speed of Dou Qi circulation; it also brought about a dramatic change in the benefits of various techniques.
"Awesome!" After slowly exhaling a breath of turbid air mixed with impurities, Xiao Yan's lips finally couldn't help but slowly curl into a smile.
Finally , he burst into a hearty laugh that shook the very fabric of space.
"My foundation is laid. From now on, I can roam freely across the Dou Qi Continent." At this moment, Xiao Yan's aura was no longer the frivolous and wicked one of the past; instead, it exuded a domineering presence rarely seen on him. Now he finally understood why Xiao Xuan had sent him out to train alone after he reached the Dou Zun level. At this level, he was already considered one of the top experts on the continent. If he didn't undergo a life-or-death trial, he would inevitably become a Dou Sheng. Then, only his own clansmen could defeat him; what was the point of training then? "With my current strength, even without using my trump cards, I can easily handle opponents below the four-star Dou Zun level simply by relying on the amplification from the Burning Technique and the Strange Fire. If I were to use my clan mark and the Three Transformations of Heavenly Fire, I could even fight a five-star Dou Zun. And if I were to unleash various Heavenly Rank Dou Techniques or even the Buddha's Wrath Lotus..." Thinking of this, Xiao Yan's smile grew even more unrestrained. "It's just a training trip. Without a Dou Sheng, who can harm this Imperial Prince! " "This boy's talent and opportunities are truly unprecedented," Su Qian thought to himself, watching Xiao Yan's arrogant and unrestrained expression in the sky. "If this guy were born in ancient times, he might have a chance to reach the legendary Dou Di realm." Compared to Su Qian's amazement, Han Yue's usually cool and aloof eyes were now fixed on Xiao Yan in the sky. No matter how cold she was, seeing Xiao Yan now made her heart tremble. A seventeen-year-old Dou Zun—what youthful vigor and heroism! No matter how calm Han Yue's mind was, she was still a twenty-year-old young woman. Under Xiao Yan's dazzling, spirited brilliance, no young girl could escape his gaze. A faint blush crept onto Han Yue's face, her clear eyes sparkling. *Whoosh whoosh whoosh!* Just then, many black dots appeared in the distant sky. As the dots drew closer, Xiao Yan finally recognized them. These were none other than some elders from the academy. There was no way around it; the commotion Xiao Yan had just caused was simply too great. Even though Su Qian had sealed off an area of a hundred miles, the terrifying fluctuations had still been faintly detected by some of the academy's elders. However, upon seeing the young figure standing in the sky, they couldn't help but stop, looking at Xiao Yan with astonishment. "Elder Xiao Yan, was that commotion you caused?" Seeing Xiao Yan, the group of elders breathed a slight sigh of relief. Xiao Yan had changed his true identity after killing Han Feng and returning to Canaan Academy. Aside from changing his name and revealing his Dou Zong strength, he hadn't said much else. Even so, these elders held Xiao Yan in extremely high esteem. The strength of a Dou Zong combined with the terrifying alchemy skills of a seventh-grade alchemist—such an existence was practically top-tier in a place like the Black Corner Region. Even on the entire Northwest Continent, he was among the most esteemed individuals below the Dou Zun level. However, for some reason, these elders now felt a strange sense of awe when facing Xiao Yan again. This awe wasn't heartfelt, but rather physiological. While Xiao Yan had previously instilled a sense of pressure in them, they could bear it. But now, the aura emanating from Xiao Yan made them feel as if they were facing a giant dragon. "Elder Xiao Yan...you've broken through again?" Amidst the crowd's astonishment, Elder Hao was the first to step forward and ask. "Sort of," Xiao Yan replied with a mysterious smile, refusing to elaborate. He didn't want to explain for their own good, fearing they might not be able to handle it. Just then, a familiar flame indeed rose from Xiao Yan's body. "Damn, it's back again!" Xiao Yan's expression changed slightly, but his gaze suddenly caught sight of Han Yue watching him not far away. "Thank you all for your concern today for my breakthrough," Xiao Yan said with a smile to the group of elders. "You should all go back now. I need to consolidate my cultivation. After I come out of seclusion, I'll take some time to refine some pills for you." Xiao Yan cupped his hands in greeting to the elders, who all wore excited smiles. If they needed some pills, with Xiao Yan's skill, it was almost impossible for him to make a mistake. So, these people all gave Xiao Yan fawning smiles and left one after another. After the elders had all left, Xiao Yan took a step and appeared in front of Su Qian and Han Yue. "Hehehe, Elder Xiao Yan, congratulations!" Before Su Qian could finish speaking, Xiao Yan put his hand on her shoulder. "Elder, you've been waiting here for so long, you must be tired." Xiao Yan looked at Su Qian with a smile. "Not tired, not at all." Su Qian was smiling, but when she saw Xiao Yan's eyes, she suddenly paused, then smiled again. "Hehehe, yes, yes, this old man is indeed a bit tired. I'll go back and rest first. Farewell!" Su Qian chuckled, then vanished from the spot. After Su Qian left, only Xiao Yan and Han Yue remained. They exchanged a glance, each seeing a spark in the other's eyes. "Yue'er," Xiao Yan gently leaned close to Han Yue's face, his voice low and deep. "I need your help in my cultivation!"
