Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

As Yao Lao thought this, he completely forgot that the two of them, who were merely Dou Shi at the time, dared to plot against the strange fire that even Dou Huangs were fighting over in the Tagor Desert.

Xiao Fan paced back and forth in the cave, then carefully considered his trump cards and said to Xiao Yan, "Here's what we'll do, Junior Brother, tonight, after the Snow Demon Ape's strength has decreased, I'll be responsible for holding it off, and you can take the opportunity to sneak into the valley behind and ransack its home!"

"Are you crazy!" Even with Xiao Yan's courage, he felt that Xiao Fan's plan, which he had come up with after thinking for so long, was somewhat unreliable. "Even if the Snow Demon Heavenly Ape is weak, it is still a Dou Wang level expert!"

Although the power of their previous fire lotus explosions was astonishing, even high-level Dou Wangs wouldn't dare to withstand it head-on, there was a prerequisite: you had to be able to hit the other person. In a real battle, the other person wouldn't give you time to prepare your fighting techniques, let alone not dodge.

So even though the two have strong trump cards, in the end they can only survive against a Fighting King; defeating them is basically impossible.

Chapter 190 One-on-One Battle Against the Demonic Ape

"Don't worry." Xiao Fan patted his chest and said confidently to Xiao Yan, "It's unlikely we can defeat it, but I should be able to hold it off for a while."

After all, the Snow Demon Sky Ape is a three-star Dou Wang, and if it is weakened, its strength will probably drop to around two stars. Xiao Fan's current strength is a six-star Dou Ling, plus the Radiant Sun Transformation, so even if he is detected, he can hold out for a while.

"Don't worry, besides, with the Three Thousand Thunderbolts around, even if we can't win, I can still save my life." Seemingly noticing the worry on Xiao Yan's face, Xiao Fan said with a smile.

"Row!"

Seeing Xiao Fan's decisiveness, Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment before agreeing to Xiao Fan's plan. The two then quietly regulated their breathing in the cave, as there was still a great battle to be fought that night.

Seeing that they had finalized their plan in just a few words, the old apothecary's hand, stroking his beard, stiffened slightly. "Has the world really changed? Even a little brat dares to go head-to-head with a Dou Wang."

Shaking his head, the old doctor was also curious about just how much strength his eldest disciple could display.

......

Night fell quietly, and two dark figures swept through the deep forest, landing not far from the valley.

The two exchanged a glance, and one of them changed direction, quietly making his way to the other side of the valley.

After Xiao Yan disappeared from his senses, Xiao Fan flashed a silver light, a black line streaked across the sky, and the Purple Cloud Wings appeared out of thin air on his back, hovering above the valley, exuding a sharp aura.

"Roar!"

Sensing the presence outside, the Snow Demon Ape in the valley roared furiously and leaped its massive body from the valley, landing on the top of a small hill.

"Human! It's you!"

With its crimson eyes fixed on Xiao Fan in mid-air, the Snow Demon Ape's eyes flashed with surprise. It still had some impression of Xiao Fan, who had saved people from its claws during the day. After observing Xiao Fan's back and realizing that he was alone, a human-like disdain appeared on its face.

"You dare to provoke me all by yourself?"

"Hehe." Xiao Fan noticed a dark shadow flash by in the distance and said to the Snow Demon Sky Ape indifferently, "How about we make a deal?"

"A deal?" The Blood Demon Ape sneered. In the next instant, the figure that was standing on the mountaintop flashed and appeared not far from Xiao Fan. Its huge palm struck towards Xiao Fan, and the wind it generated made Xiao Fan's scalp tingle.

With a flash of fire, the blood-red Thousand Flame Spear appeared in Xiao Fan's hand, blocking the Snow Demon Heavenly Ape's palm.

Upon contact, a tremendous force surged along the gun, instantly slamming Xiao Fan's figure down by the demonic ape. He crashed into more than ten large trees before finally coming to a stop.

Xiao Fan raised his head, a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of his mouth. He suppressed the tightness in his chest and shouted, "As expected of a Dou Wang-level power! Even weakened by the awakening of your bloodline, you are still far beyond my ability to stop..."

With a cough, the purple cloud wings on his back flashed, and Xiao Fan's figure reappeared.

"The First Transformation of the Radiant Sun!"

Realizing that this demonic ape was not to be trifled with, Xiao Fan did not hesitate to use the Nine Transformations of the Radiant Sun.

The golden sun within Xiao Fan's body, not far from the Dou Jing, emitted streams of golden energy as Xiao Fan roared, which then flowed into his body.

With the infusion of golden energy, Xiao Fan's strength gradually increased.

The power that was originally at the peak of the six-star Dou Ling level instantly leaped to the seven-star Dou Ling level, the peak of the seven-star Dou Ling level, and the eight-star Dou Ling level!

However, it was only the power of the first transformation of the Radiant Sun that directly allowed Xiao Fan's strength to leap by two stars, reaching the level of an eight-star Dou Ling.

Sensing the surging battle qi within his body, Xiao Fan's eyes flashed with surprise. This Radiant Sun Transformation is truly powerful!

Without hesitation, Xiao Fan sensed the second sun within his body and exhaled.

"The second of the Nine Transformations of the Radiant Sun!"

His strength, which had stopped rising, began to climb again after Xiao Fan used a secret technique. His strength as an eight-star Dou Ling rose all the way up to the peak of a nine-star Dou Ling before stopping.

Realizing that his strength had stopped increasing, a hint of regret flashed in Xiao Fan's eyes. He was just a hair's breadth away from feeling the strength of a Dou Wang.

Grinning as he looked at the Snow Demon Sky Ape opposite him, Xiao Fan's lips curled into a smile as he launched the first attack.

The dramatic increase in strength gave Xiao Fan the confidence to be arrogant. He originally planned to perform two Xuan-level summons if he really couldn't win, to see if he could summon a Dou Wang-level strength.

However, I didn't expect the improvement of this secret technique to be so great, which also saved me the source coins needed for summoning.

"Roar!"

The Snow Demon Ape on the opposite side also noticed Xiao Fan's rapidly increasing strength. Seeing Xiao Fan attacking it, its scarlet eyes blazed with fury as it roared and charged at Xiao Fan.

A dark glint flashed in Xiao Fan's eyes, and black flames instantly enveloped him as he charged toward the Snow Demon Ape opposite him.

The Thousand Flame Spear in his hand slashed the demonic ape's arm, leaving a bloody gash. Thin streams of blood flowed from the ape's wound and dripped onto the ground.

When the demonic ape's crimson eyes swept over the black flames on Xiao Fan's body, a look of fear flashed in its eyes. The black flames were far less violent than the human's previous blue flames, but they exuded an aura of deathly emptiness, which made the ape even more frightened.

The reason I was injured by this human in that attack was mainly because I sensed that the dark flame on his body was not to be trifled with.

Due to carelessness, and the fact that Xiao Fan's strength has now risen to the peak of the Dou Ling realm through a secret technique, the gap between the two has been continuously narrowed, which is why such a result was achieved.

Xiao Fan looked at the Snow Demon Sky Ape, a glint of fervor flashing in his eyes. Could he now also contend with a Dou Wang level existence?

Despite his burning passion, Xiao Fan's hands didn't stop moving as he blocked the demonic ape's enormous fists.

In the initial attack, Xiao Fan gained a slight advantage thanks to the mystery of the Chaos Fire, but the Demon Ape once again used that mysterious white energy to envelop its fist.

Although the Chaos Fire is powerful, Xiao Fan is currently unable to unleash its full power, so he can only struggle to withstand the attacks of the Demonic Ape.

However, it's probably unlikely that the Demon Ape can defeat Xiao Fan in a short time.

"It can last for about fifteen more minutes..."

Xiao Fan sensed the energy within his body. The strength brought by the Radiant Sun Transformation was not without limitations. In Xiao Fan's current state, even if he activated the second transformation of the Radiant Sun, he could only maintain it for half an hour. After half an hour, the increased strength would disappear.

"I hope everything goes well for Xiao Yan!"

Shaking his head, Xiao Fan licked his lips, wiping away a trace of crimson blood from the corner of his mouth. He tightened his grip on the Thousand Flame Spear, and with a flap of his Purple Cloud Wings, he nimbly dodged the demonic ape's chilling fist.

Chapter 191 Acquisition of the Precious Elixir

While Xiao Fan was fighting the demonic ape, Xiao Yan had already quietly sneaked into the valley.

The valley, which was originally a very spacious area, was devoid of any life. As far as the eye could see, the ground was covered with stark white bones.

“This…” Xiao Yan sighed as he looked at the countless skeletons in the valley. “It seems that not only humans, but also many magical beasts covet the Earth Core Tempering Milk.”

"The Earth Core Tempering Milk has the miraculous effect of cleansing the marrow and refining the body. If magical beasts drink it for a long time, it can not only cleanse their marrow and physical constitution, but also make it easier for them to cultivate into human form. Its appeal to magical beasts far exceeds that to humans."

The old man's calm voice echoed in Xiao Yan's ears.

A wisp of fire appeared in Xiao Yan's hand. With the help of the dim light, Xiao Yan carefully surveyed the environment in the valley.

Frowning, Xiao Yan said softly, "The environment in this valley is complex; finding the Earth Core Tempering Milk will probably take some time..."

"Hurry up, it should be deep in the valley. Your senior brother probably can't hold off that Snow Demon Ape for long, at most half an hour. We have to get out."

"Hmm." Xiao Yan nodded, glanced back at the roar of battle coming from behind, and sped towards the depths of the valley.

A moment later, a pitch-black cave came into Xiao Yan's view, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face.

"It seems like this is it."

Retracting the Thunder Bat Wings on his back, Xiao Yan flashed into the cave.

"This looks like the lair of the Snow Demon Ape."

Xiao Yan looked at a spot in the cave where a lot of white fur was scattered on the ground, and the ground was a darker color than other places, which seemed to be where the demonic ape often lay.

Where is the Earth Core Tempering Milk?

Xiao Yan frowned, looked around, but couldn't find any place to hide anything. Then he focused his gaze on the ground surrounded by fur, where the color of the sand was distinctly different from the surrounding area.

Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes slightly. He reached out and inhaled at that spot, raising a cloud of dust, and then a dark hole appeared.

"So that's where the entrance was hidden." Xiao Yan smiled with delight, then leaped into the dark pit.

After landing in the pit, Xiao Yan discovered a very spacious underground space with numerous stalactites hanging down from above, creating a truly awe-inspiring sight.

"teacher?"

"The Earth Core Tempering Milk is formed from the condensed energy of the earth. Just follow the place where the earth energy is most concentrated," the old medicine master said calmly, then pointed out a direction with his soul.

"This way."

Following the instructions of the old apothecary, Xiao Fan searched the underground space for a few minutes, and then an enormous stalactite came into view, which even Xiao Yan, with his experience, couldn't help but marvel at.

In front of Xiao Yan, an enormous stalactite hung down from the space above his head. It was about a hundred meters long and so wide that it would take two people to encircle it. It was surrounded by a faint white light and looked like a crystal pillar, dazzlingly bright.

Following the stalactite downwards, below it was a huge blue stone. At the top of the stone was a groove less than half a foot deep, in which a milky white liquid about two inches deep was piled up, with a faint white mist emanating from above it.

Looking at the milky white liquid, Xiao Yan felt a faint, sweet fragrance lingering around him. With a gentle sniff, he felt as if he were floating on air, his whole body instantly feeling incredibly comfortable.

"This... must be the Earth Core Tempering Milk!"

Xiao Yan licked his lips, his eyes fixed on the milky white liquid in the groove of the blue stone, and said softly.

Just as Xiao Yan was staring blankly at the milky white liquid, the white light surrounding the stalactite above his head intensified. Then, a drop of milky white liquid slowly flowed down from the top of the stalactite, finally dripping into the groove in Xiao Yan's eyes, rippling outwards.

"Ding dong!"

The sound of lotion dripping awakened Xiao Yan from his daze, and he swallowed hard.
