Dimension Demon's Chat Group

Chapter 245 The next day
At dawn, just as the sun rose, the sound of rushing air echoed through the secluded valley.

Following the sound, one could see a black-haired boy holding a heavy black ruler, sweating profusely in the energy-rich environment on a flat area in the valley.

Sunlight filtered through the thin mist above the valley, illuminating the boy's resolute face.

A pale purple aura burst forth from the boy's body, condensing into a purple protective shield on his skin.

Without a doubt, this protective shield of battle aura, which rises like purple flames on its surface, is the battle aura veil that only a Battle Master can possess!
Before absorbing the purple flame, Xiao Yan's Burning Technique was only at the low-level Yellow Rank, so his Dou Qi Gauze Robe was only at the lowest level, and its enhancement to strength and speed was pitifully small.

Now, the Burning Technique, having absorbed the purple flame, has undergone a qualitative change.

Although its level is still mid-level Yellow Rank, it possesses all the characteristics of Purple Flame.

Both the most basic defensive capabilities and the various enhancements to Xiao Yan himself have been greatly strengthened, making it far less useless than before.

Unfortunately, the level of the Fighter was still a bit low, and the amplification from the gauze robe was far less than that from the power armor.

This led to Xiao Yan's reaction not being as surprised as in the original novel.

What pleased him even more was the change in the energy vortex within his body.

The originally pale yellow cyclone turned purple under the influence of the purple flames, and its volume nearly doubled.

As for the liquid fighting spirit in the cyclone, it did not increase; instead, it condensed from more than 500 drops of pale yellow liquid to more than 200 drops of pale purple liquid.

The reduction in quantity leads to an improvement in quality.

The amount of battle qi contained in this drop of pale purple liquid was at least three times that of the original pale yellow liquid.

It can be said that Xiao Yan's strength has increased at least several times. Under the same realm, he can definitely defeat his previous self easily after absorbing the Purple Flame!

"call--"

The jet-black Xuanzhong Ruler drew heavy arcs in the air.

Xiao Yan gritted his teeth and endured the muscle soreness as he swung the black ruler.

Judging from his movements, it was by no means a simple and crude swinging motion. Every gesture had a profound and unique rhythm, as if each movement could draw upon the power of the whole body.

Indeed, that was the case; he was currently practicing an extremely sophisticated greatsword technique.

This sword technique was taught to him by Lin Yu yesterday. It is said to come from a ninth-rank swordsman in the neighboring world of "Joy of Life" who was once famous for his greatsword.

Since true qi also exists in the world of Joy of Life, this sword technique can also be infused with fighting qi and used as a fighting skill.

However, Xiao Yan cultivated this sword technique not because it could be used as a fighting skill, but because of the exquisite techniques it contained and the effect of tempering the body during cultivation.

The former goes without saying, as it falls under the category of basic martial arts, while the latter is what Xiao Yan currently lacks the most.

After all, both devouring the strange fire and releasing the Buddha's Wrath Lotus in the future require extremely high physical qualities from him.

If Xiao Yan doesn't want to face life-or-death situations like in the original story, he must start improving himself in all aspects from now on.

About an hour later, Xiao Yan finished his morning practice, looking slightly tired.

Back in the cabin in the valley, a purple figure suddenly flew from the side, its heavy body, nearly two meters long, unsurprisingly knocking Xiao Yan to the ground.

"Roar!"

With a low growl, the purple demonic beast opened its blood-red maw, lowered its enormous head, and seemed about to swallow Xiao Yan whole.

Looking at the sharp fangs so close at hand, Xiao Yan showed no fear, but instead revealed a helpless smile.

"Alright, Little Purple, stop fooling around!"

"I'm not feeling well right now, I don't have the energy to play with you..."

Without a doubt, this purple magical beast is the cub of the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

Since bringing it back yesterday, Lin Yu has placed it next to Xiao Yan so that the two of them can develop a relationship.

Xiao Yan was initially quite troubled by this, after all, he had broken into the lair of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King yesterday, stolen the companion Purple Crystal Source, and had some unpleasantness with the little guy.

In his mind, the little guy must be quite hostile towards him.

To his surprise, the other party did not seem to recognize him and was mostly curious about him, not hostile as he had imagined.

After a moment's thought, Xiao Yan realized it must be due to the power armor.

To guard against high-level magical beasts, he wore full-body power armor yesterday, and his appearance and scent were vastly different from when he took off the armor.

Having figured this out, Xiao Yan felt relieved and began to play with the little beast.

Children are always playful, so Xiao Yan played with it for a while and personally fed it some of its companion amethyst source, easily raising its favorability and making the little guy accept him.

However, this little guy seems to have stayed in the nest because he is guarding the Amethyst Source, and has never had any playmates.

Seeing that Xiao Yan was willing to play with it, it immediately clung to him, and whenever it had a spare moment, it would pester Xiao Yan to play with it.

To be honest, if Lin Yu hadn't had the mother beast warn him, Xiao Yan's cultivation would probably have been disturbed.

Xiao Yan felt a bittersweet mix of pain and joy. He was both exasperated by the little beast's persistent pestering and delighted to have gained another companion. Looking at the red horn pressed against his face, Xiao Yan sighed, raised his hand to brush the horn away, and pressed it against Xiao Zi's cheek, intending to push it aside.

Unfortunately, he has just swallowed the pill and has not yet fully recovered.

In terms of strength, they are no match for this third-tier magical beast.

Left with no other option, Xiao Yan took out the companion amethyst source from his storage ring, stroking its head while feeding it.

Only when the amethyst winged lion cub was satisfied did it finally break free from under it and regain its freedom.

"Don't rush, let me rest for a while, then I'll play with you properly."

Xiao Yan stroked the warm mane around Xiao Zi's neck and said with a smile, "As for now, I need to go and report to my teacher and older brother first. Do you want to come with me?"

"..."

Upon hearing Xiao Yan mention his elder brother, a hint of awe appeared in Xiao Zi's beastly eyes.

But soon, it nodded, let out a low growl, and its body rapidly shrank in the purple light, transforming into a small purple cat that leaped onto Xiao Yan's shoulder.

This ability to change size is not an innate talent of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, but a gift bestowed upon them by Lin Yu after they entered the Bai Ze Myriad Spirits Diagram.

Of course, the only one that truly entered the Bai Ze Myriad Spirits Diagram was the sixth-tier Amethyst Winged Lion King.

The power of transformation in this little beast was actually passed down to it by its mother in a strange way through the magic core and bloodline.

Even Lin Yu was quite surprised by this, never expecting that the magical beasts of this world would have such a legacy ability.

But regardless, inheriting power from their mother is ultimately a good thing for Xiao Yan and the little beast...

"As expected, I still prefer your current form!"

While sighing, Xiao Yan couldn't help but reach out and stroke the head of the little purple kitten on his shoulder.

At this time, it was only the size of a kitten, and the amethyst covering its body had turned into purple fur. The horn on its forehead and the purple wings on its back had also become small and exquisite, just like the kind of decorations specially made for pets, and it looked extremely cute.

Unfortunately, this form is only cute in appearance; in terms of power, it is not weakened in the slightest.

Seeing that Xiao Yan was so fond of it and kept touching it, the little purple cat wrinkled its nose, suddenly slapped his wrist with its paw, and meowed in dissatisfaction.

Xiao Yan quickly withdrew his arm and looked closely. He saw that there was a red mark like a cat's claw on his wrist.

"Not bad, at least you know to hold back compared to yesterday..."

Xiao Yan smiled, ignoring the red mark on his wrist. He then reached out and, disregarding the little purple cat's objections, stroked its soft mane again before turning and stepping into the hut.

At this moment, the small house was quiet, with no sign of Lin Yu or Yao Lao.

Xiao Yan didn't take it seriously, turned around, and walked towards a landscape painting hanging on the wall.

The moment he approached the landscape painting, silver light burst forth, rippling like waves, as if a hidden portal within the painting had swallowed Xiao Yan whole.

In an instant, the world before my eyes underwent a dramatic transformation.

The once peaceful and tranquil valley cabin has been transformed into a magnificent and spacious plaza.

The plaza is built on a mountain peak that has been cut in half, surrounded by not only mountains and dense forests, but also many magnificent palaces, making it a self-contained little world.

"...Is this the portable abode in the mall, the world within the painting?"

Xiao Yan gazed enviously at the plaza before him. Although it wasn't his first time here, he couldn't help but marvel at it every time he saw it, wondering when he would establish his own faction and buy one to play with.

Of course, the portable cave dwellings in the group mall are also divided into different tiers.

The lowest-grade cave dwellings are extremely small and inexpensive, making them affordable for Xiao Yan.

However, the world in the painting that Lin Yu took out was quite expensive. Even without the mountains and palaces, it would cost at least three thousand points.

Three thousand points is a huge sum of money for the earliest members of the group.

Xiao Yan is currently training alone in the outside world, so there's no need for him to waste his points on something like this.

With that thought in mind, Xiao Yan took a step and walked towards the palace outside the square.

There, an extremely rich fragrance of elixirs filled the air, indicating that Lin Yu or the old apothecary were refining pills.

Arriving at the palace gate, Xiao Yan was invigorated by the refreshing fragrance of the pills. Just as he was about to go and find the two, he suddenly heard Xiao Zi on his shoulder let out a cheerful cry and transformed into a purple afterimage, flying into the side hall.

"Little purple?"

Xiao Yan was startled upon seeing this and quickly chased after them.

Upon entering the side hall, a colossal beast, over ten zhang long and with wings on its back, came into view.

Without a doubt, this is Xiao Zi's mother, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King who entered the Bai Ze Myriad Spirits Diagram!
