"Hmm??"
"Hahaha..."
Elder Yao was floating at the entrance of the cave, gazing into the distance and reflecting on his failed past, when he suddenly felt a surge of Fighting Qi fluctuation coming from behind him.
He turned his head and saw that Xiao Yan had emerged from the wooden tub, staring at him with a confused look.
Elder Yao immediately let out a hearty laugh.
Gradually, a smile appeared on the determined young face of Xiao Yan, who had finally reacted. The smile widened, turning into a burst of laughter, then wild laughter... As he laughed, tears streamed uncontrollably from Xiao Yan's eyes. Three years of decadence, three years of being a waste, three years of humiliation—all vanished into thin air today.

At this moment, Xiao Yan, soaking naked in the wooden tub, no longer held any obsession regarding the so-called Three-Year Agreement.
The words Chen Yang had spoken to him half a year ago were still vague to him, but now, having returned to the Dou Practitioner realm, he suddenly understood their true meaning.
"Good kid, you truly didn't disappoint me!"
Elder Yao looked at Xiao Yan, whose eyes were filled with tears, and spoke with emotion.
Perhaps Xiao Yan himself believed that his ability to Breakthrough to Dou Practitioner within half a year relied on the body tempering pill and foundation establishment divine liquid refined by Chen Yang.
But only Elder Yao, who personally struck Xiao Yan with a whip, knew what Xiao Yan had truly endured over the past six months.
Every whip mark imprinted on his body was a medal on Xiao Yan's path to growth!
"Old... old geezer, I... I succeeded!!!"
Xiao Yan sobbed, laughing and crying as he looked at Elder Yao, cursing playfully.
"Brat, you have no respect! Do you still want to learn that Di-rank Dou Technique?"
Elder Yao rolled his eyes at Xiao Yan.
"Heh... hehe..."
Tears still clung to Xiao Yan's eyes, but his face held a flattering expression, making Elder Yao unable to suppress the smile on his lips.
This time, he shouldn't be mistaken again, right?
Thinking of this, Elder Yao suddenly sighed deeply, slowly floated down a little, and met Xiao Yan's gaze.
"Condensing the Dou Zhi Qi Vortex in half a year, although partly due to that kid Chen Yang's Medicinal Pills, your efforts over these past six months have not escaped your master's notice!"
"Now, your master asks you one more time: Do you truly want to Cultivate that strange Cultivation Technique?"
"No one has ever successfully Cultivated that thing. Only the technique's introduction mentions that it can evolve, and it requires devouring terrifying Strange Flames to evolve!"
"Cultivating this Cultivation Technique is extremely perilous. Furthermore, in the early stages, you will be slower than others in all aspects. Are you certain you truly want to Cultivate it?"
Elder Yao stared intently at Xiao Yan, asking with a serious expression.
"Teacher, if I Cultivate a Profound RankIntermediateCultivation Technique, can I become a Dou Zun in this lifetime?" Xiao Yan fell silent for a moment, then suddenly asked.
"Cultivating a Profound RankIntermediateCultivation Technique, with your talent, reaching high-level Dou Huang shouldn't be a problem, but Dou Zun..." Elder Yao shook his head.
"Then, by Cultivating an Earth-rank Cultivation Method, can I become a Dou Di?" Xiao Yan knew that Elder Yao possessed Earth Rank Cultivation Techniques.
"Dou Di... Heh heh..." Elder Yao shook his head bitterly. "The Fighting Qi Continent hasn't seen a Dou Di for ten thousand years. Forget Earth-rank Cultivation Methods, even Heaven RankCultivation Techniques probably can't lead to becoming a Dou Di!"
Hearing this, Xiao Yan was silent for a moment, then asked again: "Teacher, you said before that Xun'er's Family is very mysterious, right?"
Elder Yao hesitated for two and a half seconds, then nodded: "Let me put it this way: If your talent is nothing but a fart in front of your Brother Yang, then your Brother Yang is also nothing but a fart in front of Xun'er's Family. Can you understand what I mean?"
Xiao Yan nodded, a wry smile forming at the corner of his mouth.
That girl Xun'er, the strength she displays now is probably far from being as simple as it seems, right?
Elder Yao watched Xiao Yan's silence and did not pressure him.
He really wanted to tell Xiao Yan that if Xiao Yan succeeded in Cultivating the Burning Technique, he would have a way to resurrect himself, but after hesitating several times, he still kept silent.
The current Xiao Yan is capable of making his own decisions, so let him decide for himself.
Xiao Yan remained silent, got up and stepped out of the bathtub, wiped his body clean, and then changed into a black robe. Today, he rarely wore the tight combat attire.
After changing clothes, Xiao Yan walked out of the cave and raised his head to look up at the scorching sun in the sky.
He suddenly recalled something a great man had said when he was on Earth: "You young people, full of vigor and vitality, are in your prime, like the sun at eight or nine in the morning."
Xiao Yan murmured: "The world belongs to you, and it also belongs to us..."
He suddenly smiled faintly, a confident smile curving his lips:
"I am the Disciple of that Gentleman, how can I shrink back just because of difficulties?"
"If there is no path ahead, then I will carve one out!"
"That Gentleman didn't have anyone guiding him back then either!"
The thoughts flashed through Xiao Yan's mind, strengthening his conviction.
He turned his head to look at Elder Yao, and nodded resolutely: "Teacher, I will Cultivate that technique!"
...In the afternoon, at the Mittel Auction House, Chen Yang finished refining a batch of Medicinal Pills and got up, ready to stretch.
As soon as he stepped out, he saw Xiao Yan standing at the entrance wearing a black robe, and beside him was a pretty girl dressed in a purple skirt.
"I must be doing well, actually having the future Lord of the Endless Fire Territory and the Young Miss of the Ancient Clan waiting for me at the door!" Chen Yang smiled faintly, this thought flashed through his mind, and then he welcomed the two inside.
"A Dou Practitioner?" Chen Yang suddenly asked, looking at Xiao Yan.
"Hehe, I was just practicing this morning, and I luckily Broke through!" Xiao Yan scratched his head and said shyly.
"Not bad. Next, do you have any plans for Cultivation at the Dou Practitioner rank?" Chen Yang sat on the chair with his leg crossed, pointing to the round table opposite, signaling Xun'er and Xiao Yan to sit down.
Xun'er remained silent, sitting next to Xiao Yan, while Xiao Yan revealed a bitter smile.
Only after choosing the Burning Technique did he realize that it was initially a Yellow RankLow-levelCultivation Technique. Just now, back at the Xiao Family, he had been severely lectured by Xun'er.
Only after knowing that Xiao Yan had made his own decision did Xun'er stop being angry, but upon hearing Xiao Yan was coming to Mittel, she followed along.
What if Brother Yang found out he was Cultivating a Yellow RankLow-levelCultivation Technique? He was probably going to be disappointed in him, right?
Seeing Xiao Yan silent, Chen Yang knew the kid was afraid to tell him because he was Cultivating the Burning Technique, so he didn't press the matter and changed the subject:
"Since you don't have a plan, let me give you an idea!"
"How about continuing to temper your Physical Body while Cultivating your Fighting Qi?"
"If you can Cultivate your Physical Body to a level comparable to a Demonic Beast of the same rank, then fighting above your rank won't be a problem!"
The moment Chen Yang said this, Xiao Yan was instantly stunned, and immediately his mouth twitched. He recalled his experiences over the past six months; it was truly... hard to describe.
"Kid, agree to him. Given your current Fighting Qi intensity and Endurance, if your Fighting Qi runs out, you'll be a sitting duck waiting to be slaughtered. Furthermore, increasing your Physical Body strength will also benefit you when devouring Strange Flames!"
Elder Yao's voice suddenly rang out in Xiao Yan's mind.
After Xiao Yan nodded almost imperceptibly, he raised his head and looked at Chen Yang: "Brother Yang, I'll listen to you, but specifically, what should I do?"
Chen Yang smiled faintly upon hearing this, and said with a chuckle: "After you advanced to Dou Practitioner, the body tempering pill is no longer suitable. I have the third-grade pillMuscle Strengthening Bone Reinforcement Pill here. Take one every three days for half a year, and I guarantee you will possess Physical Quality comparable to at least a Third-Tier Magical Beast!"
Xun'er looked at Chen Yang curiously upon hearing this. How had she never heard of such a miraculous Medicinal Pill? "Mr. Chen Yang, does Brother Xiao Yan just need to keep taking this Medicinal Pill?"
Chen Yang glanced at Xun'er and shook his head: "If gaining the Physical Quality of a Third-Tier Magical Beast were this simple, I would have become the Richest Man on the Continent long ago."
After speaking, he turned and looked at Xiao Yan playfully: "After consuming this Medicinal Pill, the most crucial step is... getting beaten up, and severely at that!"
Hearing this, Xiao Yan fiercely swallowed a mouthful of saliva!
"Again... I have to get beaten up again???"
