People in Doupo: The beginning of the game intercepts the rich woman Xun'er

After completing an initial exploration of Xiao Yanji's ability to control different flames, Xiao Ling followed Xun'er's suggestion and decided to try her most unique ability, which was the technique of fusion with human cultivators.

As a Flame Saint, Little Flame Princess possesses unique talents. Once she merges with a cultivator, she can nourish the possessed one with her own spiritual energy, especially greatly enhancing the power of the other party's fire attribute attacks, helping them achieve a leapfrog increase in combat power in a short period of time during the fusion period.

Although Xiao Yan Ji is still young, with Xun Er's unreserved investment of resources, she has found a shortcut to growth that is difficult for others to follow.

Every day, she has a sufficient amount of high-quality beast fire to refine, and she can absorb the power of rare flames. Her energy intensity increases day by day without ever stopping.

Even more so, Xun'er would often urge the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame to "feed" her with this top-tier exotic fire, helping her to solidify her flame foundation.

This top-tier cultivation treatment she has enjoyed since birth, coupled with her own special cultivation method, has allowed Little Flame Princess to achieve a leapfrog growth in strength even at a young age. In terms of current energy intensity alone, she is already comparable to an eighth-order magical beast.

In addition to her own powerful fire talent and skillful control of the triple strange fire, when it comes to actual combat ability, she would probably be hard to find an opponent even among eighth-order magical beasts.

Xun'er's cultivation level and the increase in combat power after fusing with Little Flame Princess

Xun'er's current cultivation level has firmly reached the peak of the Ninth Revolution Dou Zun.

It should be noted that even looking at the entire history of the Dou Qi Continent, there are very few people who have reached this level at her age.

After all, the Dou Zun realm is already a height that countless cultivators can hardly reach even after a lifetime of effort, and the "Nine Revolutions Peak" is the ceiling of the Dou Zun realm. Such a growth speed and strength can only be described as "terrifying".

Previously, Xun'er had tested her fusion ability with Xiao Yanji, and the test results clearly showed two key enhancements.
First, there is a leap in her own energy intensity. When she is fused with Xiao Yan Ji, Xun'er's overall energy intensity is directly raised to a whole level.

Although she failed to break through the crucial barrier between "Dou Zun" and "Half-Saint" and did not step into the Half-Saint realm, her energy intensity had reached the highest limit of the Dou Zun realm, just one step away from Half-Saint, and was much stronger than the peak of an ordinary Nine-Turn Dou Zun.

The most significant improvement lies in the explosive enhancement of fire attribute attacks.

Compared to the increase in energy intensity, the "fire attribute attack amplification" brought about by Little Flame Princess's flame ability is more significant.

As a Flame Saint, Little Flame Princess can fully integrate her own abilities into Xun'er's fire-attribute fighting techniques, which makes the fire-attribute attacks that Xun'er unleashes in the fused state far more powerful than in normal conditions.

In terms of destructive power alone, Xun'er, in her normal state, is at the peak of the Nine Revolutions Dou Zun realm, and her fire attribute attacks are already powerful enough, but she is ultimately limited by the framework of the Dou Zun realm.

After fusing with Xiao Yan Ji, the fire-attribute fighting techniques she unleashed actually reached the level of a "half-saint".

This fusion effect, which can enhance attack power across borders, is an extremely rare and terrifying boost among all the auxiliary abilities in the entire Dou Qi Continent.

Even among all the top secret techniques passed down by the ancient clans, only those short-duration burst techniques that cause great damage to oneself can barely achieve a similar amplification effect. In fact, most of the time, their amplification is not as significant as that brought by Little Flame Princess.

What's even more remarkable is that the secret techniques used by the ancient clans often come at the cost of overdrawing their own life force, damaging their bloodline power, or dropping their cultivation level. If they are not careful, they will leave behind lifelong hidden dangers.

However, Xiao Yan Ji's possession and fusion will not cause any side effects to the possessor. It does not require the possessor's original power, nor will it leave a period of weakness after the fusion ends. It is a completely safe and secure way to enhance combat power.

It was precisely because of Xiao Yan Ji's unique value of "high amplification and zero damage" that even Gu Yuan, a powerful figure who had reached the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm and stood at the top of the Dou Qi Continent's combat power pyramid, couldn't help but feel gratified that his daughter had such a capable assistant after witnessing Xiao Yan Ji's characteristics firsthand.

With Gu Yuan's insight, he could naturally see through Xiao Yan Ji's extraordinary nature at a glance. She was by no means an ordinary fire monster. Her talent of being able to evolve continuously by being devoured by flames was unparalleled.

If there is any limit to Little Flame Princess's growth, there is only one answer: as long as the supply of fire energy continues, her potential is limitless.

Each time she absorbs high-quality flame essence, the quality of her own flame improves, and her potential for growth expands further, seemingly without any ceiling.

Of course, such extraordinary growth comes at a price. As Xiao Yan Ji's cultivation deepens, her "appetite" for flames will become increasingly demanding.

In the future, ordinary beast fire will no longer be of interest to her if we want to help her improve. Only the original beast fire of a ninth-order magical beast, or even rare exotic fire on the Dou Qi Continent, can meet her evolutionary needs.

For this reason, in addition to instructing his people to collect high-quality flames from all over the world, Gu Yuan also harbored a deeper expectation in his heart. He hoped that in the future he could find a strange flame with a complete origin and let Xiao Yanji try to refine it, to see if this ultimate flame could nurture her and allow her to unleash even more amazing potential, and truly grow into a top-notch helper who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Xun'er and even protect her.

When Gu Yuan learned that this powerful assistance was actually a gift from Xiao Ling, the man who had "kidnapped" his daughter years ago, his goodwill towards Xiao Ling inexplicably increased.

Gu Yuan knew perfectly well that Xiao Ling, who mainly cultivated the fire attribute, couldn't possibly be unaware of how amazing Yan Ji's auxiliary value was to fire attribute cultivators, and he understood how important such a partner was.

However, Xiao Ling was willing to give Yan Ji as a gift to his precious daughter. This choice shows how much Xun'er meant to him.

It was precisely because of this sentiment of "knowing its value yet still willing to give it away" that Gu Yuan's resentment towards Xiao Ling for "stealing" his daughter subtly faded.

Of course, it was only a little less intense. For any father, having his carefully nurtured "little cabbage" picked by someone else is not something he can easily let go of.

The fact that Gu Yuan didn't personally confront Xiao Ling to "settle accounts" is already considered exceptionally lenient.

……

Dappled sunlight filtered through the clouds, casting a warm glow on the rolling mountain peaks. Around the clearing on the mountaintop grew waist-high green trees, their branches adorned with scattered white wildflowers that rustled down in the breeze, landing on the flagstone ground and adding a touch of life.

A pale blue mist drifted through the distant valley, occasionally punctuated by the clear chirping of birds, making this place exceptionally serene.

Beneath the old pine tree at the edge of the open space, Xun'er stood quietly, her pale blue skirt gently lifted by the wind.

Her gaze fell on Xiao Ling not far away, a faint smile playing on her lips, her fingertips unconsciously twirling a fallen petal, clearly waiting quietly for the two of them to make their next attempt.

Xiao Ling stood in the center of the open space, his black robe still warm from the sunlight.

Little Flame Princess sat steadily on his shoulder, her chubby little hands holding a dancing orange-red flame. It was a high-quality eighth-order beast fire, with a faint halo around its outer layer, crackling occasionally and emitting a gentle but not scorching heat.

With her round little head drooping, she sipped the beast fire into her mouth. The flames didn't spark when they entered her throat; instead, they were swallowed like melted honey, and even her breath felt warm.

Once the last wisp of flame was completely swallowed, Little Flame Princess lifted her face, her small body swayed gently, and she let out a warm burp. A faint wisp of firelight escaped from the corner of her mouth before turning into white mist and dissipating in the wind.

Xiao Ling turned his head, his fingertips gently touching her soft cheek, his eyes filled with laughter, his voice gentle: "Ling'er, how are you? You should be full now. If you are, let me see your possession skills, how about it?"

Upon hearing Xiao Ling's words, Little Flame Princess immediately stretched out her little hand and gently patted her round belly, looking adorable, clearly responding that she was "full."

The next second, her small figure leaped lightly, like a warm, fiery feather, and landed steadily in front of Xiao Ling. She then nodded vigorously at Xiao Ling, waving her little arms and making soft "ee-yah-yah" sounds. Her bright, watery eyes clearly said, "Ready."

Upon seeing this, Xiao Ling's eyes instantly showed a hint of interest. He quietly withdrew his fighting spirit and slightly adjusted his posture, clearly ready to welcome the fusion.

Just then, dazzling flames suddenly rose around Xiao Yanji. First, the crimson Heaven and Earth Tribulation Flame enveloped her body, followed by the brilliant golden Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame and the fused blue-gold flame. The three flames intertwined and entwined, transforming into a dazzling fire curtain that enveloped her.

Within the curtain of fire, Little Flame Princess's figure gradually became blurred. The scorching temperature spread outwards from her, instantly evaporating the moisture in the air, and even leaving faint scorch marks on the bluestone ground.

The next moment, the intertwined flames suddenly transformed into a stream of light, rushing straight towards Xiao Ling.

Without the slightest hesitation, the flames, upon touching Xiao Ling's robes, seemed to find their home, rapidly spreading along his limbs and bones, eventually surging into his body.

Xiao Ling felt a warm energy spread through his body in an instant, and Xiao Yan Ji's flame spirit quickly met his own battle qi.

To his surprise, this foreign energy did not cause any rejection. On the contrary, it was particularly close to his main fire-attribute battle qi, as if they were born from the same source. It flowed slowly along his meridians and gradually merged with his own battle qi.

The originally somewhat fierce fire-attribute battle aura, after being infused with Xiao Yan Ji's spiritual essence, became more agile and gentle, yet it still harbored an even more intense and scorching power deep within, as if it could burst forth at any moment.

As Xiao Yanji's energy was completely integrated into his body, Xiao Ling's aura changed drastically. His long hair, which had been hanging down, was now tinged with fiery red, as if flames were quietly burning in his hair. When the mountain breeze blew gently, it even shimmered with tiny sparkles.

In those azure eyes, flames flickered incessantly, as if two leaping flames were hidden in their depths. When they gazed into the void, even the air seemed to ripple with a faint heat.

Each wisp of flame left a faint fire mark in the air, as if he could gather all the fire power of the entire world into his palm with a casual gesture. The fiery pressure emanating from within was even more agile and domineering than when he had activated the strange fire alone before.

Xiao Ling slowly raised his hands, his fingers gently clenching into fists and then relaxing, feeling the surging power within him. A low sigh escaped his throat, his tone full of amazement: "The feeling of this fusion of powers is truly wondrous..."

He could clearly sense that the fighting spirit within his body had not only become more profound, but also possessed a unique spiritual charm unique to Little Flame Princess. Its circulation was smoother than ever before, and even his perception seemed to be broadened by the flames, allowing him to vaguely touch the fire attribute energy scattered throughout the surrounding world.

"The current situation is actually better than I expected," Xiao Ling muttered to himself, the fire in his eyes growing even brighter.

He is now a half-saint, far surpassing Xiao Yanji, but after the fusion, he was able to advance even further on the original basis. This improvement was enough to surprise him.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Ling no longer hesitated. He clenched his fists, and the three-colored flames in his palms suddenly surged. The red, gold, and blue flames intertwined and condensed into a giant flaming sword that was tens of feet long.

Flame patterns danced across the sword's blade as if alive, emanating a scorching heat that even made Xun'er, who was watching from afar, subconsciously frown and raise her hand to gather the battle aura barrier in front of her.

"Drink!" Xiao Ling shouted, exerting force in his arm, and swung the flaming greatsword. In an instant, blazing flames burst forth from the blade, transforming into a flaming slash hundreds of feet long, which cleaved straight into the void in front of him.

With a deafening roar, the void was cleaved open by the strike, creating a dark rift. Terrifying flames spread outwards, turning half the sky crimson. Even the distant clouds were instantly evaporated, and the trees at the foot of the mountain rustled in the heat, as if they were about to burst into flames at any moment.

If he hadn't controlled it just now, and had allowed the full power of this attack to fall on the mountain range in front of him, large areas of the mountain range would have collapsed in the flames, swathes of forest would have been instantly burned to ashes, and even the rock layers would have been melted. At that time, this quiet mountain area would probably have been completely turned into a sea of ​​fire and ruins.

Under the old pine tree not far away, Xun'er stared at the fiery strike that cleaved through the void, her eyes filled with undisguised astonishment. Although she already knew that Xiao Ling had broken through to the half-saint level, seeing such terrifying power with her own eyes still made her heart flutter.

However, this shock didn't last long. Xun'er's lips quickly curled up slightly, and a glint of defiance flashed in her eyes. She thought to herself, "As expected of Brother Xiao Ling, he has already far surpassed me in such a short time. This kind of progress is truly unbelievable..."

She gently raised her hand, her fingertips brushing against the strands of hair at her temple, her tone tinged with excitement and determination, "But I won't let you fall behind so easily. With Ling'er's help in the future, I'm sure I can catch up with you, and maybe... even try to surpass you." (End of Chapter)
