Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, I am your second master

Half a month later,

"Xiao Li! Xiao Li! Make me some pills! I want sweet ones! Ten thousand pills!" Zi Yan said, jumping up and down.

"Ten thousand pills? You're going to eat them like rice?!" Xiao Li exclaimed in shock.

"Hmm! What else?" Zi Yan confirmed. She was using it as food anyway, otherwise why would she ask for it?

Xiao Li: ......

"Xiao Li, Xiao Li, why aren't you saying anything? Give me the pills, give me the pills!" Zi Yan kept shaking Xiao Li's arm, her voice soft and sweet, making Xiao Li's bones almost melt.

"Alright, alright, where did you learn this trick?" Xiao Li quickly shook off Zi Yan's hand. Who could resist the coquettishness of a purple-haired loli?

"Hehe, I saw a female student in the academy use this trick on another male student, and he really enjoyed it," Zi Yan said with a grin. Her strategy was complete!

"Uh..." Xiao Li was speechless, then tapped Zi Yan on the forehead: "Don't learn this kind of nonsense."

"Ugh~" Zi Yan clutched her head, looking like she was in a lot of pain.

In just half a month, Zi Yan had already digested five Battle Spirit Pills. It can only be said that she is indeed a top-level magical beast; her digestive system is amazing. She was able to digest five Battle Spirit Pills.

However, the five Douling Pills only increased Zi Yan's cultivation by a little over one star. Zi Yan's current cultivation level is equivalent to a three-star Dou Wang.

However, Zi Yan's combat strength cannot be judged by her cultivation level. With this punch, even Xiao Li at this moment would have to lie on the ground, but at least he wouldn't have broken any ribs, which can be considered as some progress.

Su Qian sat to the side, watching the two playfully bickering, and took a sip of tea with a smile. For Su Qian, it was a good thing that Zi Yan could make friends, after all, it was too lonely for Zi Yan to always be alone.

Zi Yan's eyes darted around, and with a slight smile, she walked up to Xiao Li, hands on her hips: "Xiao Li, how about I marry you?"

"What?" Xiao Li felt like he was hallucinating; he thought he heard some inappropriate words.

"Pfft—" Su Qian just took a sip of tea and then spat it out.

"I'm saying I want to marry you and become your wife, then I'll have an endless supply of pills!" Zi Yan felt particularly clever because, as far as she knew, most couples in the human world had very close relationships.

If she became Xiao Li's wife, she could consume as many pills as she wanted.

Before Xiao Li could respond, he felt a sense of danger above his head. Then he felt a chill run down his spine. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Elder Su Qian's eyes had turned red.

Su Qian stood up, walked to Xiao Li's side, turned to look at Zi Yan, and said gently, "Girl, I'm taking Xiao Li out for a bit. We'll be back later."

Zi Yan was confused, but she trusted the Grand Elder: "I see, then hurry back!"

"Let's go!" Su Qian grabbed Xiao Li by the back of the neck and walked out.

"Don't....."

About fifteen minutes later

Xiao Li returned with a bruised and swollen face, but Su Qian was not back. Zi Yan curiously approached him: "Xiao Li, what happened to your face?"

"Oh? It's nothing, I just tripped and fell," Xiao Li waved his hand and said.

Zi Yan tilted her head: "Even a Dou Huang can wrestle? How could you be so careless?"

Xiao Li's lips twitched, but the twitching aggravated his wound, making him too painful to speak. So he began to refine pills for Zi Yan, hoping to urge this young lady to leave quickly, or he would suffer terribly.

. . . . . .

Several days later,

Mang Tianchi and Xiao Li embarked on their journey to Zhongzhou to attend the Pill Gathering, while the elders of Canaan Academy watched them depart.

Mang Tianchi looked at Xiao Li, whose face was bruised and swollen. The injuries that had already subsided had now been aggravated by new ones.

"How did you offend Su Qian, kid? This is the first time I've ever seen Su Qian so angry." Mang Tianchi put on a gossipy look.

"I don't want to talk."

Xiao Li really didn't want to talk anymore. Just yesterday, Zi Yan once again spoke recklessly, and Xiao Li turned around and was met with Elder Su Qian's fist. Ouch! It really hurt! Is this the true value of a Dou Zong?

No, no, no, this should be considered the quality of a parent.

"If you don't want to talk about it, then don't. Kid, the journey to Zhongzhou is long. We need to take a space wormhole to Tianya City in the Tianqing Mountains. It's the only city within a thousand miles that has a space wormhole leading to Zhongzhou."

Mang Tianchi explained the spatial wormhole to Xiao Li.

Spatial wormholes are unique to Zhongzhou, and are two spatial points connected by the spatial power exerted by Dou Zun powerhouses.

The distance between the Black Corner Region and the Central Continent would take even a Dou Zong expert at least half a year to cross, but if one travels through a spatial wormhole, it would only take a month.

However, constructing a space wormhole is quite difficult, and it requires frequent maintenance. The strength of the maintenance personnel alone must be at least around the Dou Zong level.

Therefore, apart from places like Zhongzhou, it rarely appears in other regions.

"Um, Dean, why don't you build a spatial wormhole in the academy?" Xiao Li asked.

"Do you think constructing a spatial wormhole is simple? Spatial wormholes need to be guarded. Placing a spatial wormhole at Canaan Academy is an option."

What about the other location? It needs someone to guard it, right? And the guard must be a Dou Zong, because only a Dou Zong can repair it when the space wormhole malfunctions.

Space is not static; a spatial wormhole could cause a spatial explosion, the power of which could be even greater than the eruption of the Fallen Heart Flame.

"Canaan Academy is my life's work, and I would never casually place such a time bomb within it. However, if one of Qianmu Bailie were to break through to the Dou Zun realm, then perhaps we could give it a try."

Mang Tianchi explained to Xiao Li why he didn't construct a spatial wormhole in the inner courtyard.

Actually, all of the above are Mang Tianchi's reasons; he simply often forgets about this matter.

As for where in the Central Plains it should be built? Please, Canaan Academy has been established for so long, there must be too many students, right? Surely some of them are from Dou Zong families, so what's wrong with building it in their family's territory?

Mang Tianchi is simply lazy. Constructing a spatial wormhole is a time-consuming and laborious technical task. He would rather use that time to cultivate.

Mang Tianchi and Xiao Li quickly arrived at Tianya City. With Mang Tianchi's speed, he carried Xiao Li through the air with ease.

Xiao Li's body is strong enough. He has almost mastered the Heavenly Burning Flame Demon Body, so there are no problems with his physical body. He is very resilient!

The spatial wormhole is controlled by the Luo family of Tianya City, who have also stipulated when it can be used. However, these stipulations are all meaningless in front of Mang Tianchi.

When Mang Tianchi, a powerful Dou Zun, arrived, the Luo family patriarch came running over eagerly.

Rules? The rules are the rules for Dou Zun powerhouses, so this space wormhole is Xiao Li and Mang Tianchi's private shuttle.

This was Xiao Li's first time entering a spatial wormhole. It was a spatial passage with no end in sight. On both sides of the passage were faint silver spatial barriers, and within the spatial barriers was a passage about ten feet long.

At the end of the passage was a deep darkness, and the same kind of unsettling darkness extended both vertically and horizontally. Faintly, dense spatial fluctuations permeated from it. The entire passage was extremely silent, without the slightest sound.

Mang Tianchi was familiar with how to enter a spatial wormhole. He took out a spaceship, and the two of them boarded the spaceship and moved forward.

Mang Tianchi's spaceship is an eighth-level spaceship, extremely fast, and can reach Zhongzhou in about a few days.

In fact, with Mang Tianchi's cultivation level, he didn't need to use a spaceship. He could fly much faster than a spaceship. However, Xiao Li was holding him back, so he had no choice but to bring out his long-dormant spaceship.
