Chapter 2 Fighting Continent
The moon is like a silver plate, and the sky is filled with stars.
On the top of the cliff, Xiao Yan was lying on the grass, holding a piece of grass in his mouth, chewing it slightly, letting the faint bitterness spread in his mouth...
He raised his somewhat fair palms to cover his eyes, looking through the gaps between his fingers at the huge silver moon in the sky.
"Alas..." Thinking of the test in the afternoon, Xiao Yan sighed softly, lazily withdrew his palms, rested his head on his hands, and looked a little dazed...
"It's been fifteen years..." A low murmur suddenly came out of the young man's mouth without any boundaries.
In Xiao Yan's heart, there is a secret that only he knows: he is not from this world, or in other words, Xiao Yan's soul does not belong to this world. He comes from a blue planet called Earth. As for why He couldn't explain this bizarre experience of coming here, but after living for a while, he finally understood: He had traveled through time!
As he grew older, Xiao Yan also had some vague understanding of this continent...
The continent is called the Dou Qi Continent. There are no magics commonly seen in novels on the continent, but Dou Qi is the only main theme of the continent!
On this continent, the cultivation of fighting spirit has almost reached its peak due to the efforts of countless generations. Moreover, due to the continuous reproduction of fighting spirit, it finally spread to the people. This also led to the conflict between fighting spirit and human beings. Daily life has become closely related, so the importance of fighting spirit in the mainland has become irreplaceable!
Because of the extreme proliferation of Dou Qi, countless Dou Qi cultivation methods have also been differentiated from this main line. As the saying goes, hands have different lengths, and the differentiated Dou Qi cultivation methods are naturally strong and weak.
After comprehensive statistics, Dou Qi Continent divided the levels of Dou Qi skills into four and twelve levels from high to low: Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang!
And each level is divided into three levels: Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced!
The level of the fighting qi skills practiced is also the key to determining the level of future achievements. For example, people who practice Xuan-level intermediate skills are naturally better than people of the same level who practice yellow-level advanced skills.
In Dou Qi Continent, the distinction between strength and weakness depends on three conditions.
First of all, the most important thing is, of course, your own strength. If your strength is only at the level of a one-star fighter, then even if you practice a rare and advanced heaven-level technique, it will be difficult to defeat a fighter who practices a yellow-level technique.
Secondly, it’s the exercises! Among experts of the same level, if your skill level is much higher than that of your opponent, then during the competition, you will know all the advantages at a glance.
The last one is called fighting skills!
As the name suggests, this is a special skill for exerting fighting spirit. Fighting skills are also divided into levels on the mainland. Generally speaking, they are also divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Xuanhuang.
There are countless fighting skills in the Dou Qi continent, but most of the popular fighting skills that are generally circulated are only around the yellow level. If you want to obtain more advanced fighting skills, you must join a sect or a Dou Qi academy on the mainland.
Of course, some rely on unexpected encounters to obtain the skills left by their predecessors, or have their own matching fighting skills. Such fighting skills evolved from the skills, when combined with each other, will be more powerful.
Only by relying on these three conditions can we determine which one is strong and which one is weak. Generally speaking, if you can have a higher-level Dou Qi skill, the benefits in the future are self-evident...
However, it is difficult for ordinary people to obtain advanced fighting qi cultivation techniques. The techniques spread among the ordinary classes are at most yellow-level techniques. Some relatively powerful families or small and medium-sized sects should have Xuan-level cultivation techniques, such as Xiao Yan's family. The top-level skill is one that only the clan leader is qualified to practice: Wild Lion Fury Gang, which is a wind attribute and is an intermediate-level fighting qi skill at the Xuan level.
Above the Xuan level is the Earth level, but perhaps only those transcendent forces and great empires can possess this kind of advanced technique...
As for the heavenly level...it has not appeared for hundreds of years.
Theoretically speaking, it is basically as difficult as climbing to the sky for ordinary people to obtain advanced skills. However, there are no absolutes. The Dou Qi Continent is vast and filled with thousands of races. In the north of the continent, there is a person who is said to be extremely powerful and can merge with the soul of a beast. There are barbarians in the south of the continent, and there are also various high-level Warcraft families with extremely high IQs, as well as the dark races that are famous for their weirdness and cruelty, etc...
Due to the vastness of the territory, there are also many nameless hermits who are unknown to the public. After their lives come to an end, they may hide the skills they have created in their lives somewhere, waiting for someone who is destined to take them. On the Dou Qi Continent, There is a popular saying: If one day, you fall off a cliff or into a cave, don't panic, just take two steps forward, maybe you will become a strong person!
This statement is not false. In the history of the mainland for nearly a thousand years, this kind of story of becoming a strong man by relying on chance encounters is not common.
The consequence of this story is that it has created a large number of people with dreams who wait at the edge of the cliff every day, preparing to jump off the cliff to obtain peerless skills. Of course, most of these people return with broken arms and legs...
In short, this is a continent full of miracles and miracles!
Of course, if you want to practice fighting qi secrets, you must at least become a real fighter before you are qualified, and Xiao Yan seems to be far away from that distance now...
"Bah." spitting out the grass roots in his mouth, Xiao Yan suddenly jumped up, with a ferocious face, and growled glumly at the night sky: "You are using labor and capital to play like trash? Fuck!"
In his previous life, Xiao Yan was just an extremely ordinary member of the ordinary beings. Money and beauty were two parallel lines with him, and they would never intersect. However, when he came to this Dou Qi continent, Xiao Yan was He was pleasantly surprised to find that because of his two lifetimes of experience, his soul was actually much stronger than ordinary people!
You know, in Dou Qi Continent, the soul is born, and maybe it can become slightly stronger with age, but there has never been any technique that can cultivate the soul alone, even the heaven-level techniques are impossible! This is common sense in Dou Qi Continent.
The strengthening of the soul also created Xiao Yan's talent for cultivation, and also created his reputation as a genius.
When an ordinary mediocre person knows that he has the ability to attract the attention of countless people, if he does not have enough determination, it will be difficult to grasp his true intention. Obviously, Xiao Yan, who was just an ordinary person in his previous life, does not have this kind of ability. He has superhuman concentration, so after he started practicing Dou Qi, he chose the path of becoming a noticed genius instead of growing up quietly!
If no accidents had happened, Xiao Yan might have been able to grow bigger and bigger with the reputation of a genius. However, it is a pity that at the age of eleven, the reputation of a genius was gradually taken away by sudden changes, and the genius , and also overnight, he became a trash that was ridiculed by passers-by!
…
After roaring for a few times, Xiao Yan's mood slowly calmed down, and his face once again returned to its usual loneliness. At this point, no matter how furious he was, he could not restore the vortex of fighting that he had cultivated through hard work.
He shook his head bitterly. Xiao Yan actually felt a little aggrieved. After all, he had no idea what was happening to his body. During daily inspections, he found nothing wrong. His soul was getting worse with age. The stronger he is, and the speed at which he absorbs fighting spirit is much stronger than his peak state a few years ago. All these conditions show that his talent has never weakened, but the fighting spirit that enters his body has never been weakened. Without exception, they disappeared completely. The strange situation made Xiao Yan feel sad...
With a sad sigh, Xiao Yan raised his palm. There was a black ring on his finger. The ring was very simple and made of unknown materials. It also had some vague lines painted on it. It was given to him by his mother before she died. The only gift, he has been wearing it for ten years since he was four years old. It was his mother's relic, which made Xiao Yan feel attached to it. He gently touched the ring with his fingers, and Xiao Yan said with a wry smile: "In the past few years, I have been very fond of it. I really failed my mother’s expectations..."
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yan suddenly turned his head and smiled warmly at the dark woods: "Father, are you here?"
Although he only has the third level of fighting spirit, Xiao Yan's soul perception is much sharper than that of a five-star fighter. When he talked about his mother earlier, he noticed a movement in the woods.
"Haha, Yan'er, it's so late, why are you still up here?" In the woods, after a moment of silence, the man's concerned laughter came out.
The branches swayed, and a middle-aged man jumped out, with a smile on his face, staring at his son standing in the moonlight.
The middle-aged man is dressed in luxurious gray clothes. He is quite majestic in his steps. The thick eyebrows on his face add a bit of heroism. He is the current patriarch of the Xiao family and the father of Xiao Yan. Five-star great fighting master, Xiao Zhan!
"Father, haven't you rested yet?" Looking at the middle-aged man, the smile on Xiao Yan's face became even thicker. Although he had memories of his previous life, since he was born, the father in front of him had been treating him. He was pampered in every possible way, and after his downfall, his love only increased instead of decreasing. Such behavior made Xiao Yan willing to call him father.
"Yan'er, are you still thinking about the test this afternoon?" Xiao Zhan strode forward and said with a smile.
"Haha, what's there to think about? It's just expected." Xiao Yan shook his head maturely, but his smile was a little forced.
"Alas..." Looking at Xiao Yan's pretty face that was still a little immature, Xiao Zhan sighed, was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "Yan'er, are you fifteen years old?"
"Yes, father."
"In one more year, it seems...it's time for the coming-of-age ceremony..." Xiao Zhan said with a bitter smile.
"Yes, father, there is still one year!" Xiao Yan replied calmly as his palms tightened slightly. He naturally knew very well what the coming-of-age ceremony represented. As long as he passed the coming-of-age ceremony, he, who had no cultivation potential, would He was disqualified from entering the Dou Qi Pavilion to search for Dou Qi skills, and was assigned to various properties of the family to take care of some ordinary things for the family. This is the family's rule. Even if his father is the clan leader, it is impossible. Change!
After all, if you don't become a fighter before the age of twenty-five, you won't be recognized by your family!
"I'm sorry, Yan'er, if your fighting spirit does not reach the seventh level in one year, then my father will have to bear the pain and assign you to the family's property. After all, my father is not the only one who controls this family. After all, those old guys are always waiting for their father to make mistakes..." Looking at the calm Xiao Yan, Xiao Zhan sighed apologetically.
"Father, I will work hard. In one year, I will definitely reach the seventh stage of fighting spirit!" Xiao Yan comforted with a smile.
"One year, four levels? Haha, if it was in the past, it might still be possible, but now... there is basically no chance..." Although Xiao Yan was comforting his father, Xiao Yan was laughing bitterly at himself.
Xiao Zhan, who also knew the details of Xiao Yan very well, could only sigh and responded. He knew how difficult it was to practice the fourth level of Dou Qi in a year. He patted his head and suddenly smiled: "It's late, go back. Rest. Tomorrow, there will be distinguished guests in the family, so don’t be rude."
"Dignified guest? Who is it?" Xiao Yan asked curiously.
"We'll know tomorrow." Xiao Zhan winked at Xiao Yan, laughed and left, leaving Xiao Yan helpless.
"Don't worry, father, I will try my best!" Xiao Yan raised his head and murmured while stroking the simple ring on his finger.
The moment Xiao Yan raised his head, the black ancient ring in his finger suddenly lit up with an extremely weak and strange light. The light disappeared in the blink of an eye without anyone noticing...
