Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

boom!

The two quickly engaged in battle, and a loud roar emanated from their clash.

"Hmph! So you've advanced to a five-star Grand Dou Master. No wonder you dare to cause trouble in my Flame Mercenary Group." Zhu Yan's voice rang out from the battle. "But don't think that just because you've advanced to a five-star Grand Dou Master you can defeat me."

As he spoke, Zhu Yan increased the power of the flames in his palm by three points. A hint of fear flashed in Han Jue's eyes, and he had no choice but to temporarily evade.

The remaining Grand Masters and Battle Masters from both sides also engaged in battle, and the entire battlefield was enveloped in the roar of numerous battle techniques.

Snapped!

Xiao Fan casually repelled a fighter from the Flame Mercenary Group. The fighter was stunned when he saw Xiao Fan defeat him so easily, and then he intentionally or unintentionally attacked in a direction away from Xiao Fan.

In a battle between two armies, it's not a matter of foolishly rushing in. If you know you can't win but still go in, that's stupid and irresponsible towards your own life, the mercenary thought to himself.

Xiao Fan didn't pay him any attention. In this battle, the only thing he needed to do was to take advantage of the battle between Han Jue and Zhu Yan to find an opportunity to kill Zhu Yan, or at least severely injure him. Otherwise, no matter how many low-level combatants were killed or wounded, as long as Zhu Yan was still alive, the Flame Mercenary Group could still make a comeback.

Amidst the chaos of the battlefield, Xiao Fan quietly moved closer to the battlefield where Han Jue and Zhu Yan were located.

Guo Pu and the other fighters of the Iron Cavalry Mercenary Group, intentionally or unintentionally, drew the other combatants of the Flame Mercenary Group away from their respective battle groups.

Although they couldn't intervene in the battle between Grand Masters, the Flame Mercenary Group didn't notice that gradually, there were no more high-ranking members of the Flame Mercenary Group around Zhu Yan, leaving him alone to continue fighting Han Jue.

This change was quietly caused by the combat masters and grand combat masters of many Iron Cavalry mercenary groups, and the others did not notice anything amiss.

Seeing that the time was right, Xiao Fan quietly took out his previous Great Dou Master combat power card and chose to use it.

The Great Dou Master Battle Power Card can raise Xiao Fan's realm to whatever extent, depending entirely on how much Xiao Fan can accept.

Five-star Dou Master... Six-star Dou Master... One-star Great Dou Master... Two-star Great Dou Master... Three-star Great Dou Master... Five-star Great Dou Master.

Having reached the level of a five-star Grand Dou Master, Xiao Fan felt that he was about to reach his limit and there was no point in continuing to force himself to do so, so he chose to accept the challenge.

hum!

Xiao Fan suddenly realized that his realm had reached a new level of Great Dou Master.

Five-Star Grandmaster!

Xiao Fan felt that the fighting spirit within his body was stronger than ever before.

The appearance of Xiao Fan's aura also startled Zhu Yan.

"Another five-star Grand Dou Master!" Zhu Yan exclaimed in surprise.

Then, Zhu Yan realized that all the combat forces around him had been drawn away by the Iron Cavalry Mercenary Group. Thinking that he was going to fight two Great Battle Masters of the same level, Zhu Yan was not confident and began to think about his escape route.

However, Han Jue, who was facing him, was no novice. He immediately noticed that Zhu Yan's momentum had weakened by three points. Subsequently, Han Jue increased his output. Today, he was determined to leave Zhu Yan here no matter what.

Xiao Fan adapted to the fighting spirit within his body, then summoned the Thousand Flame Spear and launched a fierce attack on Zhu Yan.

Since he began cultivating, Zhu Yan has mainly relied on his own techniques, using both palms to fight. He was originally evenly matched with Han Jue, but now with Xiao Fan's intervention and the presence of the Thousand Flame Spear, he has become more hesitant.

But now, with Han Jue and Xiao Fan sandwiching Zhu Yan between them, he can't leave even if he wants to.

Knowing his current predicament, Zhu Yan realized that once his fighting spirit was depleted, it would be truly the end. A hint of madness flashed in his eyes.

"You forced me to do this! Fire Tornado!"

With Zhu Yan's roar, his fighting spirit was unleashed with reckless abandon, and a powerful aura surrounded him.

Taking the opportunity, Han Jue said to Xiao Fan, "This is his killing move, a high-grade Xuan-level combat skill. He's going all out!"

Han Jue also used his ultimate move, a high-grade Xuan-level metal-attribute killing move.

"Ten thousand swords return to the clan!"

Metal-elemental battle qi surged around Han Jue, and countless sharp swords swirled around him.

Watching the duel between the two, Xiao Fan took a step back. He didn't think Zhu Yan would be so stupid. With Xiao Fan and Han Jue both blocking his killing move, he would definitely lose. And once a large amount of fighting spirit was released, he wouldn't be able to leave even if he wanted to.

As expected, a hint of surprise flashed in Zhu Yan's eyes when he saw that Xiao Fan did not make a move.

The red light in his hand shot out towards Han Jue, while his body quickly retreated.

Noticing Zhu Yan's movements, Xiao Fan flashed and stood in front of Zhu Yan.

"you wanna die!"

Seeing that his path to survival was blocked by Xiao Fan, Zhu Yan had no choice but to strike Xiao Fan with a palm.

Xiao Fan thrust the Thousand Flame Spear toward Zhu Yan, forcing Zhu Yan to change direction. The chilling aura emanating from the Thousand Flame Spear forced Zhu Yan to dodge. Seeing that Han Jue was about to surround him again, if Han Jue and Xiao Fan joined forces, he would truly perish here today.

"Fire tornado!"

This time, Zhu Yan's fighting skills were no longer a test. He planned to defeat Xiao Fan even if it meant enduring Han Jue's attacks from behind. Only in this way could he have a chance to survive today.

Sensing the terrifying aura surrounding Zhu Yan, Xiao Fan didn't hesitate any longer. "Crane Shadow in the Clouds!"

Battle energy flowed through Xiao Fan's hands and into the Thousand Flame Spear. Fiery red cracks gradually appeared on the Thousand Flame Spear, and a chilling aura surged around Xiao Fan.

Upon sensing Xiao Fan's presence, a hint of surprise flashed in Zhu Yan's eyes!

"This aura... it's a Tier 1 Battle Technique!"

Zhu Yan never expected that the seemingly unremarkable Xiao Fan would actually possess an Earth-rank battle technique. Unable to stop his technique, Zhu Yan roared, "I refuse to believe you can master an Earth-rank battle technique!"

Zhu Yan finished preparing his fighting technique and swung it towards Xiao Fan. Xiao Fan calmly watched Zhu Yan, and with a fierce swing of his Thousand Flame Spear glowing red, a pale red crane shadow rushed towards him.

"Wow!"

boom!

The collision of the two fighting techniques unleashed an astonishing explosion.

A small mushroom cloud rose from the epicenter of the explosion, and countless flames shot out from the blast center to both sides, igniting the surrounding debris. The entire battlefield was brought to a standstill by this sudden explosion.

A flicker of shock crossed Han Jue's eyes. "Young Master!"

Then they sped off in Xiao Fan's direction.

Smoke and dust filled the air at the epicenter of the explosion. As the smoke and dust dissipated, a figure gradually came into view.

Xiao Fan stood firmly in place, leaning on his spear. At the center of the explosion, a crater more than ten feet in diameter was formed. Zhu Yan lay in the crater, his clothes torn and his eyes flashing with despair, before he slowly lost his breath.

Xiao Fan relied on Earth-rank Dou Techniques, making him a five-star Great Dou Master. Naturally, his power surpassed Zhu Yan's, and the explosion was closer to Zhu Yan. In addition, Xiao Fan was able to withstand the attack of the explosion thanks to the Sea Heart Soft Armor. Zhu Yan, of course, could not withstand it.

With Zhu Yan's death, this battle is nearing its end.

Chapter 55 Finally Obtaining Battle King-Level Strength

Inside a secret room of the Iron Cavalry Mercenary Group.

Xiao Fan sat cross-legged on the bed, his hands forming a strange hand seal in front of his chest. His internal fighting spirit circulated slowly, and his body exuded a powerful aura.

Before long, Xiao Fan slowly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in his deep eyes. He exhaled a breath of turbid air, and his aura gradually calmed down.

"This time, I helped the Iron Cavalry Mercenary Group unify Mo City. I never expected that my final battle with Zhu Yan would deepen my understanding of Yun Zhongheying."

Xiao Fan hadn't expected that during his final duel with Zhu Yan, after unleashing the Cloud Crane Shadow technique, this clash of their skills would give him a deeper understanding of the move, which was quite a significant gain.

Furthermore, with Zhu Yan dead, the Flame Mercenary Group was doomed and unable to resist the Iron Cavalry Mercenary Group's power. Therefore, Xiao Fan returned to the Iron Cavalry Mercenary Group ahead of schedule to digest his insights.

"System, view the panel!"

Xiao Fan's proficiency with the Cloud Crane Shadow has improved from beginner to expert. Although it's only a one-level improvement, it means that his understanding of Earth-rank combat skills has deepened, and his future use of this combat skill will be more powerful.

It's like an infant holding a large knife; although it's powerful, it can't unleash its full potential. Now, the infant has grown into a teenager, and can use this powerful weapon much better.

There was also the task of unifying Mo City. Through this battle, he helped the Iron Cavalry Mercenary Group to unify the city. Han Jue, the leader of the Iron Cavalry Mercenary Group, was also firmly controlled by Xiao Fan through his mental imprint. Combined with the help that Tun Baicao gave to Han Jue, Han Jue was now one of Xiao Fan's own people. Mo City was now under Xiao Fan's control.

The first task I received has been completed.

Looking at the generous reward for completing the mission, Xiao Fan felt a surge of excitement.

"System, collect the reward."

As Xiao Fan finished speaking, he felt the total amount of fighting spirit in his body slowly increasing once again. The system's strength enhancement was increasing Xiao Fan's cultivation in an inconceivable way. Even after so long, Xiao Fan still didn't understand where this power came from.

This is completely inconsistent with what he learned in his previous life: "Energy cannot be created out of thin air, nor can it disappear out of thin air." However, looking at this world where powerful beings can move mountains and fill seas, Xiao Fan also felt that his knowledge from his previous life could not be fully applied.

Xiao Fan quickly closed his eyes and regulated his breathing to receive this power.

Xiao Fan's aura quickly rose from a four-star Dou Shi to the peak of a four-star Dou Shi, and then, as if by natural course, he broke through to the level of a five-star Dou Shi.

Xiao Fan opened his eyes, a hint of joy flashing in them.
