NOVEL WEB Chapter 26: Sudden Realization on the Battlefield
With a low shout from Xiao Yan, the Flame Seal on his brow suddenly surged with energy.
A bright red light emanated from his brow, and in the blink of an eye, Xiao Yan seemed to be wearing a faint red energy cloak.
The red light flashed and entered Xiao Yan's body, making the red energy cloak appear and disappear, as if it would shatter at any moment.
Pure Dou Qi flowed through his body, and Xiao Yan's weary body was once again filled with a new surge of strength.
His foot stomped heavily on the ground, and a rebounding force surged through his wrist. Using this force, Xiao Yan swung the Black Heavy Ruler with the force of a thousand pounds.
The five mercenaries had not expected Xiao Yan to produce even greater strength after he had exhausted his energy. They were immediately shocked back by this force, as if swept away by a raging storm.
"Dou Qi Armor... a Doushi?!" A middle-aged mercenary stabilized his body and shouted in terror, as if he had seen a ferocious beast.
He Meng was stunned, but having been tricked once, his mind was now much sharper. He slapped the middle-aged mercenary. "Dou Qi Armor is the first thing every Doushi does before a fight. If this kid was a Doushi, he would have used it long ago, why wait until he's at his wit's end? Besides, a Doushi this young? Did he start training in the womb?"
The middle-aged mercenary was completely defenseless after the hit, which was indeed strange.
He Meng analyzed with his experience, "This must be some secret technique that stimulates life force in exchange for power. It won't last long."
"Form up! Wear him down!" He Meng grew more excited. Just how many good things did this black-robed youth have on him?
Old Yao's voice sounded in Xiao Yan's heart at this moment: "Your second Dou Qi Cyclone is truly amazing, instantly restoring the consumed Dou Qi. You're only a Dou Zhe now. If you reach the Doushi, Da Doushi, and other realms in the future and can use it continuously, you'll have a huge advantage in battle."
Having personally put what he created into practice, Xiao Yan wasn't in a rush to attack, instead feeling the difference between theory and practice.
The mercenary had a point. After the Flame Seal released his Dou Qi all at once, he did indeed have a layer of something on him, similar to Dou Qi Armor. Unfortunately, he had too little Dou Qi, and it had almost no power. If his Dou Qi increased in the future, it might even surpass the effects of Dou Qi Armor.
Old Yao finally gave a serious reminder: "The remaining six mercenaries aren't pushovers. Don't capsize at the last moment."
Looking at the six mercenaries, who had formed a vertical line, Xiao Yan roughly understood their intentions. It was indeed a more stable method to deal with the situation.
"Let's give it a try!" Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yan charged out, holding the Black Heavy Ruler.
The figure moved like a ghost, forcing He Meng to rely on his sharp senses to strike first: "Yellow Tier Advanced Dou Technique, Rock Crystal Gauntlets!"
He Meng slowly spread his fists in front of him. His feet tensed, and the hair on his head stood on end. A faint white Dou Qi flashed rapidly in his eyes.
His pale muscles bulged constantly, and a fierce power rapidly gathered in his fists, which were as big as sandbags. Under the influence of the pale Dou Qi, his fists seemed to be covered with a layer of crystal gauntlets.
The instant He Meng finished casting his Dou Technique, Xiao Yan was already within three feet of him. He stomped heavily on the ground, raised the Black Heavy Ruler high above his head, and swung it down at He Meng with all his might.
A sharp gust of wind swept in, and He Meng immediately raised his arms to defend.
He Meng felt an irresistible force transmitted from his fists to his whole body. The ground beneath his feet sank, and cracks spread rapidly in circles.
This force swept in like a gale, giving He Meng's body an unprecedented impact. He gritted his teeth, did his best to steady himself, and clenched his fists, exerting the power of the Rock Crystal Gauntlets to the limit.
Just as the two were locked in a stalemate, the two mercenaries behind He Meng, holding iron spears, thrust them fiercely. The wind-attribute Dou Technique swiftly stabbed towards Xiao Yan's shoulder.
The Black Heavy Ruler in his hand rapidly changed direction, and with two dings, the heavy ruler, like a thick shield, once again blocked a fatal attack for Xiao Yan.
Taking advantage of the two people's attacks, Xiao Yan gracefully retreated more than ten meters.
Looking at the retreating Xiao Yan, He Meng smiled smugly, as if looking at prey about to be captured.
"More than twenty Wolf Head Mercenaries died in your hands, you have reason to be proud. But even if you're a Doushi expert, don't even think about breaking through my formation!"
What a solid Dou Technique! Xiao Yan looked at He Meng's slightly dimmed hands, startled.
"Don't think you're invincible just because you're a favored son of the heavens, this person has been cultivating for twenty or thirty years longer than you." Old Yao chuckled, analyzing, "With this person leading, unless your speed can be fast enough to pass through six people at once and reach their backs, it will be a tough battle."
"No need to be so troublesome." Slowly closing his eyes, Xiao Yan quickly reviewed the fighting experience of the past day, and a glimmer of inspiration in his heart suddenly magnified.
[You inferred the application method of Eight Extremes Soaring Cannon, you have an epiphany, you have comprehended a brand new Dou Technique: Star Transformation: Wolf Fang Break!] [Star Transformation: Eight meridians converge into the Qi vortex, focusing on a single point of force like a mountain. Once activated, it will concentrate all power into one point, erupting in a burst of attack. It will rapidly strike the opponent with sudden, forceful, and continuous attacks, almost completely abandoning defense in favor of all-out offense, emphasizing the initiative.]
Specific moves: Wolf fangs break through the air! ]
Xiao Yan abruptly opened his eyes, his body slightly sinking. His Dou Qi surged forth like a raging sea, his surroundings shimmering like starlight.
The Black Heavy Ruler in his hand instantly became the eye of a storm, gathering Dou Qi and resembling a brilliant constellation in the night.
With countless streams of Dou Qi converging on the Black Heavy Ruler, Xiao Yan's power became intensely concentrated. Whoosh! Like an arrow released from a bowstring, he shot towards He Meng, his form as swift as lightning, leaving behind a lingering afterimage.
"Star Transformation: Wolf Fang Break!"
In the blink of an eye, He Meng only felt his vision blur. Instinctively, he raised his fist to defend.
Yet, in that instant, a formidable force erupted from the Black Heavy Ruler.
It was a radiant surge of energy, as magnificent as a falling star. It tore through the air, leaving behind a long trail as it obliterated everything in its path.
He Meng never imagined that he, who cultivated the most robust rock-based Dou Qi, would meet his end like this! Xiao Yan's attacks had undergone a complete transformation in a matter of breaths!
"This!" Old Yao hadn't even reacted. Six mercenaries... dead in an instant!
Only when the mercenaries' corpses hit the ground did Old Yao recognize the characteristics of the Eight Extremes Soaring Cannon in Xiao Yan's swift, thunderous attack. However, this was even more extreme than the Eight Extremes Soaring Cannon.
For nearly ten years, Xiao Yan had been focused on cultivating Dou Qi. He had only recently begun to learn Dou Techniques.
Yet, in such a short period, he was already capable of drawing parallels and innovating new moves.
His comprehension of Dou Techniques was truly awe-inspiring.
Xiao Yan took a deep breath. This technique was also a heavy consumer of Dou Qi. However, thinking of the spoils from the mercenaries in the camp, he was quite excited. "Let's collect the loot."
