People are Fighting to Break Their Diaries! They Forced Me to Eat Soft Food

191: Chapter 191 Zi Yan, you’re unreliable! Experimental Subject”You—how can you be this strong!?”

Huo Zhi was certain now: Xiao Ting really did want to hit her. However, it hadn’t reached the point of spanking; they weren’t that close, and Xiao Ting wasn’t the type to do something so frivolous.

After a brief exchange, she discovered that her control over space was actually inferior to Xiao Ting’s. In close-quarters combat, she was completely suppressed, as if facing an early-stage Rank 8 Magic Beast.

Only by using Dou Techniques could she contend with him for a moment, but the Dou Techniques Xiao Ting mastered were not weak either, allowing him to fight her on equal footing.

What left her most speechless and incredulous was that Xiao Ting’s stamina was actually superior to hers; she had originally intended to drag him into a war of attrition.

A dignified Dou Zun being completely suppressed by a Two-Star Dou Zong—no one would believe it if word got out.

Huo Zhi felt that even Xiao Xuan, whom Fairy Huo Ling often mentioned, wasn’t this strong when he was at the same age or cultivation realm as Xiao Ting.

”My strength is my secret. Miss Huo Zhi, it’s better not to pry too much.”

Xiao Ting, currently maintaining his thirty-meter giant form, threw a punch forward.

Space shattered, swallowing the Dou Technique Huo Zhi had unleashed. Countless spatial turbulences flew out, and under Xiao Ting’s guidance, they attacked Huo Zhi from all directions.

”Now, Miss Huo Zhi, please answer: am I a Dou Zong or a Dou Zun?”

Huo Zhi: ”...”

A Two-Star Dou Zong capable of suppressing a One-Star Dou Zun was more of a Dou Zun than an actual Dou Zun.

Furthermore, with such combat power at the Two-Star Dou Zong stage, how formidable would he be once he reached the high-tier Dou Zong ranks?

By the time Xiao Ting broke through to Dou Zun, she feared he could crush her with ease, leaving her unable to even resist.

The gap was too obvious; she had to acknowledge Xiao Ting’s power.

Coincidentally, she also wanted a justifiable reason to let Xiao Ting benefit from her resources.

”You are more of a Dou Zun than a Dou Zun. I’ll count you as a Dou Zun!”

Huo Zhi retreated several hundred meters away and met Xiao Ting’s gaze calmly, her eyes filled with appreciation.

”As you are now, you are somewhat worthy of Xun’er. I admit defeat in our bet.”

”According to our wager, if you could break through to Dou Zong before the age of twenty, I would give you a quasi-Heaven Rank Dou Skill, a quasi-heaven rank Cultivation Method, and a quasi-heaven rank Secret Technique, all of the Thunder-Fire attribute.”

”If you broke through to the Dou Zun level within ten years, I would give you an elementary Heaven Rank Cultivation Method, Dou Skill, and Secret Technique of the Thunder-Fire attribute.”

”Both conditions have been met, and I can fulfill my promise. Do you want them now?”

”Of course.” Xiao Ting nodded slightly.

No one would ever complain about having too many cultivation methods of this grade.

Huo Zhi was also decisive, taking out three jade slips from her storage ring.

”These are Inheritance Jade Slips created by a Dou Sheng of my Yan Clan. They can only be used once. Each contains several cultivation methods, Dou Techniques, and Secret Techniques. You can choose one inheritance from each. There are pure Fire attribute methods, as well as combinations of Fire and other attributes.”

”As for Heaven Rank methods, skills, and techniques, even I cannot carry them around. Accessing them requires authorization.”

”If you are willing, I can take you to the Yan Clan right now to read them.”

”If you’re busy for now, you can find me anytime to fulfill the promise.”

”Fine.” With a thought, Xiao Ting pulled the jade slips into his hand and then said, ”Although I have the combat power of a Dou Zun now, I haven’t actually broken through yet. Learning Heaven Rank Dou Skills too early isn’t a good thing. I’ll go to your Yan Clan to learn them once I break through to Dou Zun.”

”Aren’t you afraid that if you go to my Yan Clan, instead of learning the techniques, you’ll be forced to stay?” Huo Zhi’s tone carried a hint of playfulness.

”I’m not afraid,” Xiao Ting replied calmly. ”When the time comes for me to go, if your Yan Clan dares to try and keep me, I’ll respect them for having some guts.”

”Oh?” Huo Zhi was so amused she laughed.

If Xiao Ting were a Dou Sheng or even stronger when he went to the Yan Clan, such words might be appropriate.

But going as a Dou Zun? Her Yan Clan was presided over by an Eight-Star late-stage Dou Sheng; what would they not dare to do?

Did he think the Gu Clan would stand up for him, or that Gu Yuan could be his backer?

Ridiculous. When the time came, she would have her aunt intentionally keep Xiao Ting for a while to teach him a lesson.

You are very impressive, and we indeed wouldn’t dare to harm you, but don’t be too arrogant on the surface.

[Huo Zhi asked me if I’m afraid of being kept in the Yan Realm.]

[I’d like to be afraid, but I simply can’t.]

[According to my current growth rate, by the time I break through to Dou Zun, my soul realm will definitely have reached the Heaven Realm, comparable to a Seven-Star to Nine-Star Dou Sheng peak. I might even reach the Middle Stage of the Heaven Realm, comparable to a Peak Dou Zun from the first to Ninth Change.]

[If I wait until I’m a Nine-Star Dou Zun to go to the Yan Clan, my soul realm could grow to the Late Stage of the Heaven Realm, comparable to a semi-Saint or even capable of contending with a One-Star Dou Sheng.]

[If I wait until my soul reaches the Great Circle of the Heaven Realm, there’s even less to fear.]

[And as long as my soul realm reaches the Middle Stage of the Heaven Realm, I can rescue the Old Dragon Emperor without any pressure.]

[With a Nine-Star late-stage Dou Sheng who is stronger than Hun Tiandi and Gu Yuan—and a more domineering, violent existence at that—backing me, I hope the Yan Clan acts tough.]

Huo Zhi: ”...”

So that’s where your confidence comes from.

Never mind then.

”Hmph, I’ll see then if your bones are as hard as your mouth!”

Huo Zhi gave a very displeased snort, turned around, and left the area.

[Huo Zhi]: This is bullying, absolute bullying.

[Zi Yan]: Why don’t you suck up to me? The old guy will definitely listen to me.

[Huo Zhi]: That’s a good idea. When Xiao Ting tries to threaten me, you step in and persuade Senior Old Dragon Emperor to leave. He’ll definitely be at a loss, jie jie jie.

[Cai Li]: Then at that time, both of you will get your butts spanked together.

[Zi Yan]: No way, no way! I don’t want to be spanked. Forget it.

The girls: ?

Changing her mind so fast—could it be that her butt is her weakness?

[Huo Zhi]: Good thing I found out early, otherwise I would have been led into a trap by Zi Yan.

[Huo Zhi]: It seems no one can keep Xiao Ting in check.

Meanwhile, Xiao Ting was traveling through the Lava World.

His goal was not the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor’s Cave Abode; that wasn’t a place he could go right now.

In front of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor’s Cave Abode, there was the Flame Lizardman race guarding it. The strongest among them had reached the semi-Saint level, and their birth was likely related to the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor.

Xiao Ting’s target was these Flame Lizardman; he wanted to verify a suspicion in his heart.

”They’re here!”

After venturing deep into the Lava World for a while, Xiao Ting released his soul power and soon accurately captured a group of lifeforms surging toward his position at high speed.

Before long, a dense crowd of Flame Lizardman appeared before him, surrounding him completely. They were all crimson red, the same color as the surrounding magma. If his soul power hadn’t been strong enough to lock onto the targets in advance, it would have been truly difficult to spot them with the naked eye.

These Flame Lizardman stood upright on two legs. Their feet were exceptionally wide, their heads were round and covered in small scales, and their pair of tiny pupils held an undisguised ferocity.

Their crimson bodies were covered in red scales, and a red scaled tail about one and a half meters long flicked slightly. A rather large mouth was slightly agape, revealing rows of dense, sharp teeth.

”I hope my guess is correct. If it is, I’ll be able to level up to Peak Dou Zun at rocket speed!”
