Battle Through the Heavens: Emperor Yan, please restrain yourself; your elder brother is truly hones

After a fierce battle, Xiao Yan defeated Lin Xiuya, a level above him, and became the number one on the Inner Academy's strength list.

No one is too powerful to cross the river. Apart from the mysterious woman who ranked first on the Strongest List, Xiao Yan suppressed the entire Inner Court.

Not only is he powerful enough, but he has also refined pills that can quickly remove fire poison, allowing people to re-enter the Burning Heaven Refining Tower for cultivation more quickly.

As a result, "Yanfu" quickly became the strongest force in the inner courtyard of Canaan Academy. Not to mention many small forces disbanded and joined, several large forces disbanded as well.

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Su Qian, the dean of the inner academy, was utterly speechless, exclaiming, "Has Canaan Academy become the talent training center of Jiuyuan Prefecture?"

Su Qian was very unhappy.

Although Canaan Academy only focuses on cultivating talent, building connections, and expanding influence, regardless of what students do after graduation, he still felt that Jiuyuan Prefecture's blatant "usurpation" was somewhat excessive.

Just then, Xiao Yan took out a sixth-tier Dou weapon spear and a Xuan-tier Nine Abyss Token, and said, "Dean, this is a gift from my cousin. Once you experience the power of the Dou weapon and the benefits of the Nine Abyss Token, you will definitely support me to join the Nine Abyss Palace after graduation."

"Ridiculous!" Su Qian felt that Xiao Yan, no, Xiao Yan's cousin, was questioning his professional ethics.

He was a vice dean highly regarded by the dean, and now he could be called the dean of the college. How could he be so easily bought off?

However, after experiencing the effects of the weapon spear and experimenting with the function of the Nine Abyss Token, Su Qian changed his mind.

He is now considered half a member of the Nine Abyss Mansion.

This was definitely not because he coveted a weapon that could double his combat power, or because he wanted something valuable that the Nine Abyss Guards could trade for.

He is a responsible and good dean who works for the benefit of the students.

First-rate and top-tier forces: Yes, yes, yes!

With Su Qianda opening the door to convenience, the Yan family's development will no longer have any worries.

For the next month or so, Xiao Yan exchanged pills for fire energy and then used the Burning Heaven Refining Tower to rapidly increase his strength.

During this time, he felt that the title of second place on the Strong List was not flattering, and decided to become number one on the Strong List, as it would be more worthy of the "Yan Mansion".

The student ranked first is named Zi Yan. She is said to be a genius that Su Qian brought back from outside. She was already a Dou Wang powerhouse at the age of thirteen or fourteen.

Having defeated a fifth-tier magical beast, Xiao Yan didn't believe he would lose to a mere young girl who was still wet behind the ears.

But reality slapped him in the face.

That was a real slap across the face!

Zi Yan possesses unpredictable speed and brute strength, surpassing even that of ordinary fifth-tier magical beasts, and her defense is also astonishing.

If he didn't use his fighting weapon and Fire Lotus trump card to fight to the death, Xiao Yan found that he was no match for them at all.

In the end, he did not become the number one on the leaderboard, but was instead forced by Zi Yan to call him "Big Sister".

After spending some time together, Xiao Yan finally believed that Zi Yan was a fifth-tier magical beast, and that she was born with the ability to find treasure and travel through space.

Jiuyuan Mansion needs such talent, so Xiao Yan contacted Zhang Yuan immediately.

"Xiao Yanzi, isn't your cousin here yet?"

A little girl sat on a rock, her two short legs swinging happily, occasionally throwing a few "candies" into her mouth.

"My cousin has replied and will be here soon." Xiao Yan laughed heartily, then rubbed his hands together and said, "Did you really find a tomb that you can't even get into?"

Chapter 172 Zi Yan, you can't call me "Dad" like that!

Xiao Yan hadn't originally planned to introduce Zi Yan to Zhang Yuan so soon.

It wasn't that he had any ulterior motives; it was just that he and Zi Yan had only recently become friends, and he felt that doing this was disrespectful to her. He should at least wait until their relationship was better before asking her opinion.

Secondly, he thought Zi Yan's ability to find rare and precious materials was very useful, and he wanted her to cooperate with him to refine a bunch of pills, so that he could give Zhang Yuan a big surprise.

But this morning, Zi Yan found him and said dejectedly, "Xiao Yanzi, your big sister smelled something good, but I was blocked by a barrier. I'm so annoyed."

Zi Yan's ability to temporarily teleport is something that only high-level Dou Zong (a high-ranking martial arts master) could master in a human, so the barrier that blocked her must be extraordinary.

Xiao Yan asked Zi Yan to lead the way to the location of the barrier, but she refused because she had already asked Old Man Su Qian to look at the location of the barrier. The latter said that it was the tomb of a powerful person, and unless the barrier disappeared naturally, no one below the Dou Zun level could open it.

If it cannot be opened by those below the Dou Zun level, doesn't that mean this is at least a Dou Zun's tomb?

Xiao Yan immediately decided to trouble his teacher and Elder Feng.

“If you don’t believe me, you can ask Old Man Su.” Zi Yan wrinkled her nose and snorted, “Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. You’re trying to trick me into revealing the location of the tomb, aren’t you?”

"There's something really appealing in there, so don't even think about getting your hands on it, you little punk."

"If your cousin's abilities satisfy me, then we can cooperate, hmph."

Zi Yan waved her little fist as a threat.

Xiao Yan's lips twitched, and he said, "My cousin will definitely satisfy you. Opening the tomb is a piece of cake. I asked because I was afraid you would say something wrong and make my cousin's trip go to waste."

His cousin is omnipotent!

"Xiao Yanzi, you've really gone too far." Zi Yan picked at her ear and said disdainfully, "They're right, you're just a cousin-braggart."

Nowadays, everyone at Canaan College knows Zhang Yuan.

Because from the outer academy onwards, every time Xiao Yan defeated someone, he would say, "You call yourself a genius? You can't even compare to me. You're nothing in front of my cousin."

Sometimes people will ask, "Who's your cousin?"

What they mean is, "I don't even know your cousin, how can you compare me to him?"

Xiao Yan would then reply, "My cousin Zhang Yuan is the master of Jiuyuan Prefecture."

At first, everyone was speechless.

However, after Xiao Yan fought his way up to second place on the Strong Ranking and demonstrated his strength as a fifth-grade alchemist, everyone began to be curious about "Zhang Yuan".

Just how talented must one be to earn Xiao Yan's such admiration?

"What do you mean by 'bragging'?" Xiao Yan scoffed. "Bragging means exaggerating. My cousin has many hidden cards, and I don't have the ability to know where his limit is. I'm talking about a weakened version."

“Oh right, right, right.” Zi Yan looked at him with disgust: “When your cousin comes, I want to see if he has an extra head.”

“When the time comes, you’ll definitely want to have a cousin like that too,” Xiao Yan said seriously.

My cousin is not only the most outstanding person in the world, but also the best person in the world.

He was only willing to be second to his cousin, and once he reached the peak of his strength, he would defeat Zi Yan in the Battle Spirit Realm.

"I would never want someone else's cousin," Zi Yan scoffed.

Just then, a spatial portal opened not far away, and Venerable Feng and Zhang Yuan stepped out silently.

However, Zi Yan was extremely sensitive to spatial perception and instinctively looked towards the location where the spatial portal had disappeared.

Before their eyes were a handsome middle-aged man and a young man who looked like an immortal. He was dressed in white, with an elegant demeanor and a transcendent temperament. His dark eyes were as bright as stars.

But good looks and temperament were not what Zi Yan was focusing on. She felt an extremely close power in the young man, a power that came from the depths of his bloodline, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

Xiao Yan noticed Zi Yan's unusual behavior and followed her gaze, where he saw Venerable Feng and Zhang Yuan.

"Elder Feng, Cousin!" Xiao Yan immediately stood up and waved to the two of them.

"Little Yanzi, you've made a lot of progress in the past six months."

Feng Xian and Zhang Yuan took a step forward and stood in front of Xiao Yan, their faces beaming with smiles.

"After all, I am now the Lord of the Flame Clan of the Nine Abyss Prefecture." Xiao Yan rubbed his nose, overjoyed.

This is approval from my cousin, hahaha.

"Is this Zi Yan?" Zhang Yuan looked at the little girl in purple next to Xiao Yan.

Despite being called a "loli," she actually looks like a girl of thirteen or fourteen, in the prime of her youth.

"Yes, cousin, this is Zi Yan, whom I mentioned to you. She's from Canaan."

Xiao Yan scratched his head and immediately began to introduce Zhang Yuan.

But before he could finish speaking, Zi Yan rushed forward and hugged Zhang Yuan tightly, her eyes brimming with tears, and said in a pitiful voice, "You, are you my father?"

The current Zi Yan is not the Zi Yan who has grown up alongside Xiao Yan and even become the new Dragon Emperor, but a child searching for something.

Xiao Yan:?

You don't want someone else's cousin, yet you call him "Dad"?

Feng Xian: "."

Where is ethics? Where is morality? Where is Yao Chen? Come out and join the fun!

Zhang Yuan's expression froze: "Little sister, you can't call me that."

If the old Dragon Emperor of Canaan Academy were to witness this scene, he would undoubtedly say, "You have already chosen your own death."

On this Dou Qi Continent today, excluding the Bodhi Ancient Tree, which is suspected to be at the Dou Di level, the Emperor-grade embryonic pill in the tomb of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor, and the Burning Flame Valley Ancestor who is in seclusion and whose fate is unknown, the strongest should be the Old Dragon Emperor Zhu Kun, the Soul Emperor, Gu Yuan, and the Void Devouring Flame, all of whom are nine-star Dou Sheng.

There may be debate about whether Gu Yuan or Hun Tiandi is stronger, but Zhu Kun is definitely the strongest in terms of individual strength among the four, while Xu Wu Tun Yan is the weakest in terms of individual strength.

Zhu Kun's attack was so powerful that it caused Xiao Yanzi, who had refined numerous strange flames and possessed the strength of a Seven-Star Dou Sheng plus the soul of an Emperor Realm expert, to self-destruct. Even Hun Tiandi and Gu Yuan were clearly suppressed when facing him.

This incredibly powerful super monster is suspected to have been a peak Battle Saint since the time of Emperor Tuoshe, and is also a complete doting father.

Gu Yuan is also very good to Xun'er. If he were within the Gu Clan, he would definitely value his daughter the most. However, when faced with the overall interests of the Gu Clan, Gu Yuan would consider and make choices.

But Zhu Kun was different. He was completely obedient to his daughter Zi Yan, and would even pluck the stars from the sky for her if she asked for them.

Zi Yan said that if the Soul Emperor were to die, Zhu Kun would scatter the ashes of the entire Soul Clan.

Zi Yan said she wanted to eat the Heavenly Demon Phoenix, so Zhu Kun had to help the Heavenly Demon Phoenix evolve into the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix before feeding it to his daughter, so that it wouldn't taste too bad.

If you dare make Zi Yan call you "Dad," Zhu Kun will definitely fight you to the death!

"No?" Zi Yan asked in confusion, "Then why do you smell so good? I feel like you are family to me."

"Oh?" Zhang Yuan's eyes flickered slightly.

If you were to say he had any connection with Zi Yan, it would probably be the dragon energy within the Taixu Mirage Dragon Pearl.

However, the Taixu Mirage Dragon Pearl is not a complete seventh-tier treasure. The Taixu Ancient Dragon bloodline within it has not evolved to a perfect level. It is possible for him to refine some dragon energy and get close to her, but he is not worthy of being related to the daughter of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Emperor.

Unless, of course, that mirage fish possesses a trace of the bloodline of the Ancient Dragon of the Void, and that it originates from Zhukun.

Over the past few years, he has been using Thunderfire to temper his dragon energy and bloodline, just like Xun'er used the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame to temper her bloodline, making it increasingly pure.

Therefore, Zi Yan must have sensed that faint trace of Zhu Kun's aura.

“I am human, and you are a magical beast. We are definitely not in that kind of relationship.” Zhang Yuan reached out and patted Zi Yan’s head.
