Battle Through the Heavens: Live Q&a Session - Only I Know the Answers

14: Chapter 14 Breakthrough to Battle MasterThe night passed without incident, and the morning sun began to rise.

Chen Yang and Xiao Yi Xian walked out of the wooden house side by side. A gentle morning breeze blew past, causing Xiao Yi Xian’s hair to dance in the wind. Her face was flushed with a deep red, and her eyes held a shy expression.

Recalling the experience from earlier that morning, her heart rate accelerated, and she couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. She had never done such a thing before, and inwardly, she secretly chided the ”bad guy” beside her.

Xiao Yi Xian tilted her head slightly, her eyes looking at Chen Yang beside her as she asked, ”Chen Yang, what do you plan to cultivate today?”

Chen Yang’s lips curled upward. He slowly raised his hand and took out the flying Dou Technique from his storage ring that they had obtained while exploring for treasure with Xiao Yi Xian the other day.

”Xiao Yi Xian, today I plan to cultivate this Xuan-rank high-grade flying Dou Technique, the Eagle Wings.”

Chen Yang’s voice carried a hint of anticipation and excitement; after all, once he succeeded in cultivating it, he would be able to soar freely across the skies.

”A flying Dou Technique?”

Xiao Yi Xian’s eyebrows arched slightly, her eyes filled with confusion and curiosity.

Chen Yang reached out and gently wrapped his arm around Xiao Yi Xian’s shoulder, smiling as he explained, ”A flying Dou Technique, as the name implies, is a magical Dou Technique that allows one to soar in the sky. Once successfully cultivated, even if one has not yet advanced to Dou King, one can rely on it to break free from the shackles of the earth and gallop freely in the sky.”

”Every flying Dou Technique is incredibly rare and precious, and the success rate of crafting them is extremely low. The value of this particular Dou Technique alone is comparable to an ordinary Earth-rank low-grade Dou Technique.”

After speaking, Chen Yang slowly sat cross-legged on the soft grass. With a solemn expression, he opened the Eagle Wings Dou Technique scroll. On the scroll, a Tier 5 Magical Beast, the Black Flame Purple Cloud Eagle, was depicted. The moment the scroll was unfurled, a black shadow rushed into Chen Yang’s mind, launching a fatal attack at him.

”Hmph!”

However, Chen Yang’s soul realm had long since reached the peak of the Mortal Realm; it was certainly not something this mere remnant soul could shake. Chen Yang let out a cold snort, and his soul power transformed into a giant blade, slashing toward the remnant soul. Under the crushing weight of his soul power, it had no chance to resist and was directly annihilated by Chen Yang, turning into dust.

As the remnant soul of the Black Flame Purple Cloud Eagle dissipated, there were no more obstacles on Chen Yang’s path to cultivating the Eagle Wings. He slowly closed his eyes, sinking all his focus into his body, concentrating on directing the circulation of his Dou Qi.

Chen Yang cautiously practiced according to the methods described on the scroll, guiding his Dou Qi through specific meridians and beginning to attempt to open up two additional branch meridians on his back.

This was the key to cultivating the Purple Cloud Wings; every bit of Dou Qi circulation needed to be incredibly precise, allowing for not even the slightest error.

Time passed quietly, and beads of sweat appeared on Chen Yang’s forehead. Suddenly, there was a muffled sound.

”Puff!”

A large hole suddenly exploded in the clothes on Chen Yang’s back. Purple Dou Qi circulated on his back according to a pattern, gradually forming the shape of a pair of wings.

”Chen Yang, you succeeded!”

Xiao Yi Xian looked at the purple wings that had appeared behind Chen Yang and cheered excitedly, her clear and melodious voice echoing through the valley.

Chen Yang also slowly opened his eyes at this moment, joy flashing in his gaze. He stood up, stretched his body slightly, and after carefully sensing the wings, he flapped them. His entire body shot into the sky like a purple bolt of lightning, at times circling, at times diving, soaring freely in the sky.

Suddenly, Xiao Yi Xian, who was watching Chen Yang fly, felt a pair of hands gently wrap around her waist. She saw her body slowly lift off the ground, and she heard a voice beside her ear.

”Xiao Yi Xian, how is it?”

”In the future, we will also be like this, freely traversing every corner of the Fighting Qi Continent.”

”...”

Having finished cultivating the Purple Cloud Wings in the morning, Chen Yang decided to cultivate his Dou Qi in the afternoon, striving to break through to Dou Master as soon as possible. He continued to take the bucket of diluted supreme liquid out of his storage ring. He hadn’t absorbed much energy during his last cultivation session, so the energy inside the bucket was still quite sufficient—at least enough for him to cultivate to Dou Ling. Chen Yang jumped directly into the bucket, sat cross-legged, and began to cultivate with his eyes closed.

As the Undying Heavenly Art circulated, it continuously devoured the spiritual energy in the bucket, refining it into Dou Qi!

Watching Chen Yang work hard at his cultivation, Xiao Yi Xian was not to be outdone. She began to concoct poison in the wooden house and ingest it. After refining it into poison Dou Qi via her Calamity Poison Body, she then circulated the Undying Heavenly Art to refine the poison Dou Qi into attribute-less Dou Qi.

In just one afternoon, Xiao Yi Xian directly condensed a Dou Zhi Qi cyclone, becoming a genuine Dou Practitioner.

On the other side, Chen Yang had also broken through to a 9-star Dou Practitioner, just a hair’s breadth away from breaking through to Dou Master.

After telling Xiao Yi Xian, he decided to go to the Magical Beast Mountain Range for training to solidify the floating Dou Qi in his body and to further hone his actual combat ability.

Relying on the Purple Cloud Wings to fly in the sky, Chen Yang continuously searched for prey. With his sharp eyes, he spotted a Tier 2 Magical Beast at a glance—a Heye Ape!

Chen Yang smiled slightly and decided to select this Heye Ape as his target for this time. Taking advantage of the moment when the Heye Ape hadn’t noticed him, he decided to deliver a fist technique descending from the sky.

”Xuan-rank high-grade Dou Technique—Blazing Sun Wind-Breaking Fist!”

Fire-attribute Dou Qi condensed directly on the surface of his fist into tangible flames, burning fiercely. Chen Yang’s eyes shifted slightly, and he thought of an opportunity to increase the lethality.

He turned his entire body to the left, directly transforming into a high-speed spinning top, and struck toward the Heye Ape.

The Heye Ape, which was eating on the ground, had just sensed danger. It raised its head to look, only to feel as if the sky were collapsing; a massive, spiral-shaped flame was crashing toward it.

Its reaction told it that it could dodge, but before it could act, a loud bang was heard.

”Boom!”

The massive shockwave directly knocked down the nearby trees. The Heye Ape, located at the center of the explosion, was left in a dilapidated state, but in Chen Yang’s hand was a glowing Magical Beast Core.

This also meant that this Heye Ape was completely dead.

”Whew, not bad.”

Chen Yang placed the Magical Beast Core into his storage ring, clapped his hands, looked at the corpse of the Heye Ape at his feet, and kicked it away in disgust.

However, this huge sound still attracted the curiosity of other Magical Beasts, who all came over to inspect what was happening.

Watching the gathering Magical Beasts, a smile curled on the corner of Chen Yang’s lips. He continuously executed the Secret of All in his heart. Seeing the corpse of the Heye Ape not far from Chen Yang, these Magical Beasts all dared not step forward.

But Chen Yang couldn’t care less. Once the Secret of All was triggered, he was like a wild horse off the leash, charging directly into the herd of beasts and beginning a massacre.

These ordinary Tier 1 and Tier 2 Magical Beasts were simply no match for Chen Yang. With the Undying Heavenly Art, he didn’t need to worry about his Dou Qi being exhausted and falling into a dangerous situation.

Chen Yang was having a great time, punching one Magical Beast after another. But suddenly, the aura within Chen Yang’s body surged violently, and a gauze-like garment condensed on his body. This was the mark of a Dou Master expert.

This also meant that Chen Yang was already a 1-star Dou Master expert.

Watching the Magical Beasts fleeing in all directions, Chen Yang did not pursue them. Instead, he skillfully took out a dagger and began to check whether there were any Magical Beast Cores inside these Magical Beasts.

The sky gradually grew dark. Chen Yang cleanly rinsed himself off in a stream, then found a Magical Beast with delicious meat from among the dead ones, and brought it back to the valley to enjoy this delivered meal with Xiao Yi Xian.
