Douluo: I am the outer demon

Chapter 244: First Experience of Time Stopping

"Forget it, just let this kid do his thing. Why should an old man like me care so much?"

He has not yet approved of Xiao Yan. This guy's previous personality was too arrogant, so he decided to rub down Xiao Yan's sharpness first, temper his temper, and confirm this kid's character. After all, he can't afford to have another evil disciple like Han Feng.

Suddenly the wind stopped, and the noise outside also stopped. There was silence all around. Xiao Yan and Xiao Mei stood in the room motionless. Even the curtains in the room that were blown up stopped in mid-air.

"What's going on!" Yao Lao felt something was wrong.

This situation was indeed a bit weird. Even with his knowledge, he had never seen it before. He immediately gathered his mental strength and decided to stay in the ring to observe the situation, hoping to reduce his presence.

Unfortunately, a voice broke his fantasy.

"Medicine Venerable Yao Chen, right? Come out and see me."

Shang An's figure appeared in the air, like a ghost. Looking at the two people in front of him who were completely still, he nodded secretly. It seems that the Taiyi version of time stop is quite effective.

There was no movement in the room, which seemed quite awkward.

Shang An raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Yan's ring, "Why, it won't come out?"

Yao Lao in the ring thought to himself that something was not good. It seemed that this man had really discovered him, and his target was very clear.

Just as Shang An was about to become impatient, a figure as illusory as Shang An emerged from the ring.

"I don't know who is this master, Yao Chen from the Medicine Clan is here to pay his respects."

He looked at Shang An with a serious face. The man in front of him seemed to be a soul like himself, but he could not see through him at all. Could he be the legendary emperor soul?

To be honest, he has no feelings towards the Medicine Clan and even has some hatred towards them. However, at this moment, he is relying on the name of the Medicine Clan, hoping that the name of the Medicine Clan can scare away Shang An. It is really ironic.

"Boy, you are Yao Chen." Shang An looked up and down at the white-bearded old man in front of him. It's true that he looked a bit like an immortal, and had a bit of the demeanor of a master. He was a standard old grandfather.

Hearing Shang An's name, Yao Chen's face darkened, but remembering that Shang An might be stronger than him, he endured it. After all, he might be older than him, but just looked younger. Sometimes, that old monster Danta still looked like a boy.

"It is me," he replied, and then asked tentatively, "I wonder what this...senior wants to see me about?"

"Hehehe, very good, come with me." Shang An suddenly grinned. He had just observed carefully and had determined that Yao Chen could only exert the combat power of a Dou Huang at most. It would be no pressure for him to capture him.

Yao Lao's illusory pupils suddenly shrank, and a ray of white flame emerged from his body. The Shang An in front of him reminded him of a certain not-so-good force.

Unfortunately, his soul was too weak at this moment. Facing Shang An, he was like a newborn chick. Shang An's spiritual power turned into a big hand and grabbed Yao Chen tightly with just a light grab. The strange power surged into Yao Chen's body, causing his mental power that was about to explode to fall silent in an instant.

Originally he could exert the power of Douhuang level, but now he can only maintain the visible form of his soul.

"Sure enough, I was found by the Soul Palace after hiding for so long." Yao Lao smiled miserably, feeling sad. Who else could have such a strange way of dealing with souls if not someone from the Soul Palace who studies souls?

"Shut up, kid. I'll deal with you later." Shang An directly sealed Yao Chen's soul into a jade bottle, and then took off the ring containing Yao Chen from Xiao Yan. After all, it was Yao Chen's accumulation over many years, and Xiao Yan couldn't let it get away with it.

"But in this way, Xiao Yan's talent will return." After thinking about it, Shang An decided to continue to temper Xiao Yan's mind and not let this child go astray.

So Shang An injected another devouring rune into Xiao Yan's body. This rune had no other effect except to devour the Dou Qi in Xiao Yan's body and help him maintain the third level of Dou Qi.

Moreover, with Shang An's means, unless a Dou Sheng or an eighth-grade alchemist carefully examined it, it would be impossible to discover the problem in Xiao Yan's body.

Then he condensed a ring exactly like Yao Chen's ring and put it on Xiao Yan, then nodded with satisfaction.

"I'm such a good person."

After silently praising himself in his heart, Shang An returned to Xun'er's courtyard with his harvest.

After a while, Xiao Yan and Xiao Mei resumed their actions, completely unaware of the previous period of stillness. The two continued to talk sweet nothings to each other, and Xiao Yan did not notice that his ring had been swapped.

……

After Shang An captured Yao Chen and brought him back to the courtyard, he released him from the jade bottle.

"Damn Soul Palace, what on earth do you want to do!" Yao Chen's mental power was still silent, so he could only stiffen his neck and curse at Shang An.

Snapped!
"Okay, kid, I'm not from the Soul Palace." Shang An slapped Yao Chen in the face to wake him up.

The slap was indeed very effective, allowing Yao Chen to suppress his anger.

"Then who are you and why are you arresting me?" he asked aggrievedly.

Snapped!
"How can a prisoner be so shameless? You deserve a beating." Shang An slapped him again, and then slowly said, "You don't need to know who I am. You just need to know that I have nothing to do with the Soul Palace."

"As for arresting you, it's just that something about you is useful to me."

"Now, take the initiative to hand over the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, and I promise you that I will spare your life for now and refine a body for you in the future."

Shang An still decided to spare Yao Chen's life. After all, he was a technical talent with strong soul power, which could be used to refine a puppet. Anyway, refining a puppet body for Yao Chen would not be considered breaking his promise. Shang An was a man of his words and never lied to anyone.

As for the Burning Technique, Shang An had already found it from Yao Chen's ring. This fighting skill was actually in Yao Chen's ring. Shang An checked it himself and found that there was nothing wrong.

"Don't even think about it!" Yao Chen's eyes widened with anger. He was the dignified Master Yao, the number one alchemist renowned in Zhongzhou, a man of great pride. How could he succumb to this man's tyranny?

Snapped!
"Forget it, I'll take it myself." After the slap, Shang An sighed. Although this might have a little impact on the origin of the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, it was not a big problem.

Seeing Shang An's attitude, Yao Chen was suddenly panicked. No, he was really going to do it! Shouldn't Shang An keep talking, and he keep refusing, and finally he had no choice but to hand over the strange fire?

Why are you going to do it right away? You didn't follow the script! If you had said a few more words, I might have given in.

A pure red flame flew out from Shang An's fingertips and floated towards Yao Chen, making his entire soul feel a great threat. He had a premonition that if he was touched by this fire, he would die! Definitely!
"Senior! Wait a minute, old... I am willing to hand over the strange fire."

Yao Lao immediately spoke from his heart, if he continued to be stubborn his soul would die, he had not lived enough.

Upon hearing this, Shang An raised his lips, stopped the Six Ding Divine Fire, and showed appreciation, "Very good, a man who knows the times is a hero."

He waved his hand to stop the flames, and then waited for Yao Lao.

Looking at the flames that stopped beside him, Yao Lao was both panicked and curious. What kind of flame was this that could make him so scared? You have to know that he was protected by the Bone Spirit Cold Fire. Even ordinary strange fire could not harm his soul. It was with this fire that he was able to escape from the hands of the Soul Palace, but now the strange fire seemed unable to save him.

After a long time, Shang An gently shook the jade bottle, and he opened up a small space inside, and Yao Chen's soul was sealed inside. Although his divine consciousness did not have the strength of a Fighting Saint, his understanding of the way of space was better than that of a so-called Fighting Saint, so it was not difficult for him to open up a small space.

"Yao Chen, please stay inside for now."

He casually threw Yao Chen, who was cursing in his heart, into the ring, and then Shang An looked at the dark white flame in his hand and the Burning Technique he took out from Yao Chen's ring with satisfaction.

There is nothing much to say about the Bone Spirit Cold Fire. Although it contains some rules and is very mysterious, it is far inferior to Shang An's Six Ding Divine Fire. However, the burning technique is different.

This Burning Technique is worthy of being the protagonist's golden finger technique. Even the current Shang An cannot find much room for improvement. The founder of Burning Technique may not be weaker than him.

"I'm back."

Just at this time, Xun'er prepared the supplies and returned to the room.

"Hey, teacher, what's in your hand..."

She opened her big eyes and looked at the dark white flame in Shang An's hand, and could feel the restlessness of the Golden Emperor's Burning Sky Flame in her body.

"This is the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, ranked eleventh on the Strange Fire List." Shang An raised the flame in his hand and said temptingly, "How about it, Xiaoxun'er, do you want it?"

Unexpectedly, Xun'er shook her head and said, "Forget it. I can't just replace the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame."

It is common knowledge that the violent strange fires cannot coexist with each other. If it was one of the top three strange fires, she would still consider it, but forget about the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, as it is far inferior to her Golden Emperor Burning Sky Flame.

"Really don't want to?" Shang An asked again.

"...No." Xun'er looked at Shang An for a while before replying firmly. The bad master must have another conspiracy and she must not be fooled by him.

"Well, what a pity." Shang An put away the Bone Spirit Cold Fire with a regretful tone. Although his spiritual power was not strong, he had no problem controlling the Bone Spirit Cold Fire temporarily.

"By the way, teacher, what did you go to get just now? Was it the fire?" Xun'er suddenly asked.

"No, the main purpose is to get a technique for you to practice." Shang An glanced at Xun'er and smiled faintly.

Xun'er's attribute is also fire, although she does not have the wood attribute like Xiao Yan, but Shang An thinks this is better and purer. Besides, who says that alchemy must have wood attribute? This is a heresy, and he, Shang An, opposes it with his real name.

"Martial arts?" Xun'er became interested. Her master always boasted about how great and powerful he was. Even the Dou Emperor was only worthy of being his dog. So what level of martial arts could he be interested in?

Could it be the legendary Heaven-level advanced technique? Or even an Emperor-level technique that no one knew existed.

It is said that fighting skills are easy to obtain, but martial arts are hard to find. Most martial arts of the same level are definitely more precious than fighting skills of the same level. Even their ancient clan does not have many heavenly-level martial arts.

As for the high-level heavenly skills, there is only the "Ancient Emperor's Scripture" passed down by the ancient emperor.

"Yes, this is it."

Shang An raised the "Burning Technique" in his other hand again.

"What kind of martial art is this?" Xun'er walked forward with great interest and took the "Burning Technique" from Shang An.

"How about a low-level yellow-grade martial arts technique? Xiaoxun'er, do you want to practice it?" Shang An said jokingly.

"Low-level yellow rank!" Xun'er looked at the technique in her hand in silence. It gave her the feeling that it was indeed low-level yellow rank. It looked ordinary, and there was no energy fluctuation.

It must be the teacher's bad taste again. She is currently practicing earth-level skills, which are the prerequisites for the Ancient Emperor Scripture. She is not practicing the high-level heaven-level skills, but is practicing the low-level yellow-level skills that even the mercenaries look down upon. "I'm serious." Shang An's expression became more serious.

Xun'er frowned slightly and wanted to ask again, but suddenly her eyes turned, "Teacher, if you say so, there must be something special about this technique."

She didn't believe that Shang An would harm her and force her to practice the crappy yellow-level martial arts.

"I knew I couldn't fool a little girl like you." Shang An touched the little girl's head, paused, and spoke again: "This technique is different from ordinary techniques. It can continue to evolve."

Xun'er's pupils suddenly shrank, and her eyes were fixed on the technique in her hand. Her fingers couldn't help but tighten a little. After a while, she looked at Shang An again, "Is there really a technique in this world that can evolve?"

You know, she had never heard of any martial arts in the ancient clan that could evolve, not even the "Ancient Emperor's Scripture" passed down by the Emperor Ancestor.

"Of course there are. There are all kinds of wonders in this world. Some martial arts even have their own lives." Shang An pinched Xun'er's little face again and said.

Xun'er's face turned slightly red, and she quickly stepped back, shaking her head and said, "Kung Fu is just a method of cultivation, how can it have life?"

This kind of thing is too outrageous, just like a man being able to give birth to a child.

"If heaven and earth have life, why can't martial arts have life too?" Shang An smiled faintly.

Looking at Shang An's expression that didn't seem fake, Xun'er actually believed it a little.

"Then do you have that kind of martial arts?" At the same time, she couldn't help but feel curious about the martial arts with life that Shang An mentioned.

"Ahem, no." Shang An quickly pinched both sides of Xun'er's face to stop her from continuing.

Shang An had only seen that kind of martial arts in a novel and was just bragging about it in front of his little disciple. He had never seen it before.

"Tsk, I knew you were a big liar." Xun'er puffed up her cheeks and forcibly broke free from Shang An's hand, looking at him angrily. He just knew how to pinch other people's faces. When he pinched other people's faces too big, it would not look good anymore.

"Who made Xiaoxun'er so cute and easy to deceive?" Shang An smiled lightly, and then continued without waiting for Xun'er to get angry:
"Alright, alright. A technique that has life in it may not necessarily be a good thing. Let's just say you want to practice the "Burning Technique" or not."

"Practice, of course." Xun'er immediately grasped the "Burning Technique" in her hand. This is a martial art that can lead to evolution, and there may be only one such copy in the whole world.

The little girl never doubted whether Shang An would lie to her.

"Okay, then, change your cultivation. I'll protect you." Shang An said, gently tapping Xun'er's forehead.

"Okay." Xun'er did not hesitate and placed the Burning Technique directly on her forehead. A large amount of information entered her mind, allowing her to understand the specific effect of this technique.

Swallow the strange fire to advance!

In just a moment, Xiao Xun'er felt the teacher's deep malice. No wonder he used the Bone Spirit Cold Fire to seduce her. He must have known that she would regret it and wanted to laugh at her.

After her mind became slightly clearer, Xun'er looked at Shang An with resentment, pouted her cherry lips at him, then sat cross-legged and began to change her skills. Shang An also temporarily covered this place with the Taiyi Dharma Domain.

The cultivation techniques cannot be changed at will. The higher the level of cultivation and the more advanced the technique, the greater the price to pay for the change. However, Xiaoxun'er has just reached the fighter level, the first step in the cultivation of fighting spirit, so it is still very easy for her to change the technique.

Most of the day passed while she was sitting there. Suddenly, Xun'er's aura weakened, her cultivation dropped to the five-star fighter level, and her skills were also replaced.

Immediately afterwards, her cultivation began to skyrocket!
Fighter six stars, Fighter seven stars,
In an instant her strength was fully restored, but that was not the end.

The golden flames burned on Xun'er's body, and the fragile clothes were blown away by the wind and turned into ashes.

In the reflection of the golden fire, Xun'er looked noble and sacred, like a young queen.

Although the Golden Emperor's Burning Sky Flame was in Xun'er's body, she had only gained preliminary control over it. With her cultivation level at that time, it was impossible for her to refine the Golden Emperor's Burning Sky Flame. It was Gu Yuan who put it into her body through a special method, and she had not completely refined it.

But now the Golden Emperor's Burning Sky Flame is actually being refined.

Because of her previous connection with the Golden Emperor's Burning Sky Flame, and the fact that the Golden Emperor's Burning Sky Flame had been tamed for thousands of years by the ancient clan as the inherited imperial fire, Xun'er was able to refine this strange fire surprisingly smoothly at this moment. Apart from the side effect of burning a little bit of her clothes, she did not experience the danger and pain that other people experienced when absorbing the strange fire.

The fighting spirit in Xun'er's body gradually became thicker and more concentrated, and her aura gradually became stronger. Suddenly, a golden line appeared on her snow-white forehead, which made her look even more sacred, like a goddess from heaven.

"Let's help her suppress it." After thinking it over, Shang An decided to suppress Xun'er's cultivation.

The Golden Emperor's Burning Sky Flame is too powerful. If it is not suppressed, Xun'er might directly rise to the level of Dou Ling Dou Wang in an instant.

In that case, without the polishing of the previous realm, the foundation would inevitably be somewhat unstable. Xun'er just did what she wanted to do. Her momentum of rapid progress was suddenly suppressed by Shang An.

After another half day, when it was already dark, Xun'er slowly opened her eyes.
"So comfortable." She stood up and stretched, feeling refreshed all over, as if the shackles of the past were finally released.

She felt the energy in her body again, and was surprised to find that she had now reached the ninth star of the Fighting Master level. She immediately rushed over happily to tell Shang An the good news.

But when he got in front of Shang An, Shang An pressed his forehead with his finger.

"Hmph, if you don't want me to hold you, then I won't." Xun'er stopped angrily.

"Little girl, you should put on your clothes first." Shang An looked at her jokingly.

"what!"

As expected, screaming seems to be a woman's instinct.

Fortunately, Shang An used the Taiyi Dharma Domain to cover this place, otherwise the sound would have spread throughout the Xiao family.

After a while, Xun'er put on her clothes and looked at Shang An with gritted teeth and blushing face.

"Okay, you think I like to watch? I have nothing. I can't even tell the front from the back." Shang An raised his lips and said provocatively.

Seeing Shang An taking advantage of her and still acting like a good boy, Xun'er immediately turned into a steamy girl, her face red as if blood was about to drip out.

"Ah! Bad teacher, bad teacher, I'll beat you to death!!!"

From the room could be heard Xun'er's angry shouts, the sound of her punching the sheets, and Shang An's cheering.

While feeling ashamed and angry, Xun Er was actually feeling lucky that it was the teacher who saw it, otherwise her innocence would be gone. The teacher said that it should be fine, yeah, that's it.

In the end, somehow, Xun'er was pressed down on the bed by Shang An with one hand.

"Let me go, you stinky teacher."

Xun'er looked fiercely at Shang An who was standing in front of the bed.

"Tsk tsk, Xiaoxun'er, didn't I tell you that if a disciple doesn't obey, he will be spanked?"

Shang An smiled, and his words made Xun'er tremble all over.

Spanking?
This is too embarrassing. According to the common age in Douqi Continent, she is a grown-up girl. How can she still act like a child?

"Teacher, I was wrong." She immediately gave in, trying to get away with it.

But this time Shang An didn't buy it. He directly pulled down her panties and placed her little buttocks on his legs.

Snapped!
Snapped!
After giving him two symbolic slaps, Shang An withdrew his hand and asked, "Are you going to hit the teacher again?"

"No more hitting, no more hitting." Xun'er hurriedly grabbed Shang An's hand, "Oh, oh, oh, teacher, please forgive me this time, okay~"

This soft and cute tone made Shang An's heart melt a little. Cuteness and coquettishness are indeed the most lethal weapons.

"Forget it, get up." Shang An waved his hand. He didn't intend to punish her or anything. He just wanted to tease Xiaoxun'er.

"Then teacher, Bone Spirit Cold Fire..." Xun'er said halfway and blinked her big watery eyes again.

Shang An raised his eyebrows. Wow, this girl has learned to take advantage of the situation.

"Didn't you say no at the time?"

"Oh, it's because I didn't know about the "Burning Art" at that time." Xun'er hugged Shang An's somewhat illusory arm tightly. Although Shang An was only a divine thought, he could be touched by others as long as he wanted.

"Okay, stop pretending. I can't give you the Bone Spirit Cold Fire now." Shang An stretched out his other hand and tapped Xun'er's forehead.

"Ah." Xun'er covered her forehead and pretended to be in pain.

Shang An was stunned by such acting skills.

"You little girl." Shang An pinched Xun'er's face and said helplessly: "It's not that I won't give it to you, but you have just improved your cultivation and need to stabilize it. You can't refine the strange fire anymore."

Xun'er immediately put down her hand and smiled, "I knew you were the best to me, Teacher."

There is no trace of the crying and shouting look from before.

Shang An smiled helplessly and pinched Xun'er's face several times. Petting a cat can never be compared to petting an apprentice.

On the second day, at daybreak, Xun'er and Xiao Yu said goodbye and set off on their journey.

As for Xiao Zhan, Xun'er had already made an agreement with him when they were preparing supplies yesterday. Xiao Zhan also asked Xun'er if she wanted the family to prepare funds, but Xun'er refused. She really didn't think highly of the little money the Xiao family had.

"Teacher, where are we going now?" Xun'er seemed a little excited as she walked out of the Xiao family's house, jumping with every step.

Shang An said: "Let's go to Qingshan Town first. Your junior sister is there."

"Junior sister!" Xun'er felt something was wrong when she heard the word, and she became jealous: "What junior sister? When did you, a stinky teacher, secretly accept a disciple behind my back?"
