Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

Xiao Fan feigned surprise and said, "Oh, it's nothing. A few days ago, when I was escaping for my life, I heard loud fighting sounds inside. I thought there were some powerful people inside, so I was curious and came in to take a look."

"But unexpectedly, I ran into you here..."

Xiao Fan didn't know what to call her now.

Should he continue calling him "senior"? He felt that although Yun Yun didn't mind, once Xiao Fan recognized him, it would be difficult to continue calling him "senior."

Xiao Fan scratched his head and could only explain, "Um... please don't take offense. It's just that I'm a friend of yours, and I felt a little awkward calling you 'senior' with that name..."

After hearing Xiao Fan's words, Yun Zhi said, "It's alright, a name is just a code."

This was because Xiao Fan had a system-generated favorability rating, which allowed him to discover that Yun Yun's feelings for him weren't that low, and because she was gentle by nature, he dared to push his luck like this.

If it were a powerful stranger, Xiao Fan wouldn't dare to be so reckless. If it were any other powerful person, he wouldn't dare to address them by their name directly upon meeting them. Otherwise, they might slap him against a wall and he'd have to smile apologetically.

Just as Xiao Fan was eating meat, Yun Zhi suddenly stood up and said, "It's too dangerous to stay here. Considering we're both human and you've eaten my meal, I advise you to leave as soon as possible."

Upon hearing Yunzhi's words, Xiao Fan guessed that she wanted to cause trouble for the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

But how can I join her?

Xiao Yan happened to save Yun Yun, who was sealed by the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King. The two stayed in the cave together for a while before Yun Yun took Xiao Yan there.

But right now you're dealing with Yun Yun at full strength. Can you really tell her you're going to help her?

Don't be ridiculous. A nobody like him telling a Dou Zhe (a lowly fighter) that he'll help a Dou Huang (another high-ranking Dou Zhe) is insane.

Moreover, it was their first meeting, and it was hard to say whether Yunzhi would believe the nonsense she had just spouted.

Xiao Fan could only say to Yunzhi, "Yes, I will be careful."

It's the first time we've met, so we can't be too hasty.

Since she couldn't succeed anyway, she decided to stay here a little longer and see if the situation changed.

Not long after Yunzhi left, Xiao Fan also left. He planned to find a secluded cave as his hiding place, otherwise, once Yunyun and the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King started fighting, the Monster Mountain Range would be full of monsters, and he would be doomed if he were discovered.

After searching for a long time, Xiao Fan finally found a secluded valley nearby and a cave inside, where there was foul-smelling excrement from an unknown magical beast.

But it looks like it hasn't returned for a long time; it must have abandoned the nest.

Xiao Fan spent some more time throwing all the excrement out of the cave and even scraping a layer off the rocks.

Otherwise, the cave would be so stinky from the excrement that it would be uninhabitable.

After clearing the cave, Xiao Fan made some simple camouflage around the cave entrance.

Unless you get too close, they won't be able to find it. Then, some magical powder that monsters hate was scattered around the valley, which further reduced the probability of monsters discovering this place.

This is also thanks to absorbing the experience of the old doctor. These medicinal powders were all found in the old doctor's storage ring, and the old doctor also specially categorized and distinguished them for himself.

Having found a place to stay, Xiao Fan was now waiting for the great battle between Yun Yun and the Amethyst Winged Lion King. Unfortunately, for two days in a row, not only was there no great battle, but there was also almost no battle between magical beasts.

Xiao Fan also planned to take this opportunity to hone his fighting skills in the valley.

Below a waterfall in the valley, Xiao Fan, shirtless, held a long spear and precisely thrust it at the pebbles mixed in with the waterfall.

This is a training method that Yao Lao remembers, since there isn't much place to stand when the waterfall flows down.

To accurately pierce a small stone in a rushing waterfall, one must not only stand firmly on the smooth stone, but also have keen insight to observe the stone's position, and the spear must overcome the impact of the waterfall.

If you're not careful, falling stones can even tear your skin apart, which can be said to be an extreme test of a cultivator's willpower and insight.

Xiao Fan jumped aside from the rocks, and seeing that more rocks were about to hit him, he immediately used his fighting spirit to escape from under the waterfall.

"Oh shit!"

"This training method is terrible, it hurts so much."

Looking at the bruises all over his body, Xiao Fan roared to the sky.

If it weren't for the restorative pills in the old medicine master's ring, Xiao Fan would have given up long ago.

I want to cultivate, but I don't want to risk my life!

After applying the medicinal liquid prepared by the old apothecary and resting for a while, Xiao Fan placed the prepared stones upstream of the waterfall and returned to the bottom of the waterfall to be beaten again.

Before long, the boy's curses and shouts of being beaten could be heard again from the waterfall.

On a mountaintop not far from the valley, Yun Yun, dressed in a black robe, was watching the boy being beaten under the waterfall.

Xiao Fan's strange attitude when they met that day made Yun Yun more wary.

This trip to retrieve the Purple Spirit Crystal was already important, and she had to be on guard if someone tried to sabotage it. However, after observing for several days, she discovered that Xiao Fan was indeed a genuine Seven-Star Dou Zhe.

Yun Yun felt a sense of admiration for him because of his cultivation methods.

She thought she was hardworking enough, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to advance to Dou Huang at such a young age and take over the position of sect master of Yunlan Sect. But after observing him for a few days, she developed a sense of respect for this hardworking young man.

Despite his young age, he has already become a Seven-Star Dou Zhe. He remains humble and self-disciplined. Moreover, when Xiao Fan practices herbal medicine on his own, Yun Yun has noticed that he can refine basic medicinal liquids. Although the required level of herbal medicine is not high, it shows that Xiao Fan has a talent for herbal medicine.

Yunyun realized that she seemed to have discovered a promising talent.

Thinking of this, Yun Yun's lips seemed to curl up slightly, but unfortunately, no one could see it under the cover of her black robe.

Since there's nothing here specifically targeting me, I need to get on the lookout for the Purple Spirit Crystal as soon as possible.

With this thought in mind, Yun Yun glanced once more at the young man cultivating under the waterfall, her azure battle wings slowly activating behind her, before flashing away into the distance.

Chapter 24 Clash of Dou Huang Levels

The next day, while Xiao Fan was still cultivating, he was suddenly awakened by a loud roar.

Xiao Fan suddenly opened his eyes. In the past two days, Xiao Fan had made full preparations to prevent Yun Zhi from suddenly fighting with the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.

Upon hearing the roaring sound, Xiao Fan knew that Yunzhi and the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King had failed to reach an agreement and were now fighting.

Retrieving the Shadowless Mask from his system space and skillfully putting it on, Xiao Fan immediately rushed towards the location where the battle had broken out.

The journey was smooth and unobstructed, which was normal. Ordinary magical beasts wouldn't dare to show themselves in a battle between Douhuang-level beings. Moreover, in the Lion King's territory, no magical beast would dare to trespass on a normal day. After all, magical beasts have a very strong sense of territory, and casually stepping into the territory of a high-level magical beast would be considered a provocation.

Although there are few magical beasts in the Lion King's territory, Xiao Fan still encountered many scattered magical beasts along the way. Some of these were the Lion King's minions, while others were magical beasts that had panicked and fled due to the aftermath of the battle.

But none of the magical beasts that can survive in this place are ones that Xiao Fan can defeat.

Fortunately, he had the Shadowless Mask to conceal his presence; otherwise, Xiao Fan wouldn't have been able to get past these magical beasts alone, let alone reach the center of the battle.

Having progressed to a certain point, Xiao Fan could no longer go any further.

The terror of a Dou Huang powerhouse is no joke. If it weren't for the strong physique provided by the system and the concealment of the mask, Xiao Fan would have to run as far away as possible in such a battle.

Xiao Fan climbed to the top of a towering tree, hiding among the lush branches, and observed the battle between the two Dou Huang level figures through the gaps.

Yunzhi, clad in black robes, now revealed her exquisite face, her graceful figure appearing and disappearing amidst the battle.

Unfortunately, Xiao Fan's eyesight couldn't keep up with the two fighting figures. He could only catch a glimpse of the moment when they clashed, but he couldn't appreciate the details.

Just as Xiao Fan was about to get closer, he suddenly realized that the commotion caused by their battle had already driven away the low-level magical beasts in the area. At this moment, only three fifth-level magical beasts remained around, which was equivalent to the strength of three human Dou Wang level warriors.

Xiao Fan broke out in a cold sweat. He had been so focused on the powerful figures that he had almost forgotten that the Lion King's forces couldn't all be Earth-rank magical beasts. It seemed that these three fifth-rank magical beasts were the powerful figures under its command.

With three fifth-tier magical beasts, Xiao Fan gave up any thoughts of causing trouble. Without Yun Zhi's delay, he wouldn't be able to handle even one of them.

Xiao Fan had no choice but to continue hiding in the tree, hoping that no miracle would happen.

The two fought from noon until sunset. Xiao Fan noticed that the flames on the Amethyst Winged Lion King's body were not as powerful as before. It seemed that the news that the Amethyst Winged Lion King absorbed the sun's flames through the amethyst on its body to increase its combat power was true.

Just then, the roar of the Amethyst Winged Lion King rang out in the sky.

"Human woman, you've worn down my already dwindling patience!!"

Yunzhi looked at the Amethyst Winged Lion King in front of her and said softly, "Lion King, as long as you are willing to exchange the Amethyst Crystal for me, I will never bother you again."

The voice was different from the cold and aloof one Xiao Fan had heard before. This time, the voice carried a hint of elegance and nobility, and her calm tone even conveyed a touch of urgency.

"If you don't know what's good for you, then don't blame me!" A roar filled with rage erupted from the giant maw, ripples spreading through the air. The purple light behind the Amethyst Winged Lion King grew stronger and stronger, and after a moment, the intense purple light even obscured the light of the setting sun.

"He's unleashing his ultimate move..." Seeing the Lion King's state, Xiao Fan had already guessed that this battle was about to come to an end.

Seeing the posture of the Amethyst Winged Lion King in the sky, the several magical beasts that had been watching the battle immediately scattered, as if they knew how terrifying this move was and were afraid that if they were too slow, they would become the unlucky targets in the battle.

Yunzhi also sensed the sudden surge of fierce aura emanating from the Amethyst Winged Lion King, and the fire elemental power in the world also rose sharply. Her gaze gradually became serious, and she slightly raised her hands, causing the surrounding gale to howl even more fiercely.

Before long, the attack that the Amethyst Winged Lion King had been preparing was completed. The purple light surrounding its body compressed into a beam of light that was only about half a foot long in the blink of an eye.

"Amethyst Seal!"

A purple beam of light flashed rapidly, appearing in an instant not far from Yunzhi. The roar of the Amethyst Winged Lion King also rang out at that moment.

Yunzhi sensed the sudden appearance of the pillar of light, her expression changed, and the powerful fighting technique she had been preparing was quickly unleashed.

"Rift Dance!"

As Yunzhi's soft shout rang out, the space in front of her rippled slightly, and countless deep blue wind blades appeared out of thin air. They then intertwined with each other, forming a huge spherical blade of light that spiraled out at high speed.

"Boom!"

As the purple beam of light came into contact with the deep blue wind blade, a tremendous roar resounded through the sky.

The moment the two made contact, the deep blue wind blade gradually collapsed under the onslaught of the purple light pillar. It then swiftly shattered the dozens of wind shields that Yunzhi had hastily erected in front of her, finally piercing into Yunzhi's body.

As soon as the purple beam of light touched Yunzhi's body, the massive body of the Amethyst Winged Lion King appeared directly in front of Yunzhi, its huge claws reaching out to grab her body, its five sharp nails even showing signs of tearing through space.

"The extreme wind, kill!"

In that critical moment, Yunzhi's longsword trembled violently, and a faint, profound ray of light shot out instantly, slashing towards the head of the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King sensed the terror of the attack and realized that the woman before him had deliberately created an opening. It roared and narrowly avoided the fatal blow, but its head still struck its hard red horn.
