In Battle Through the Heavens, lying down makes you stronger.

Chapter 11 Earth-Rank Soul Skill, New Mission

Xiao Xun'er looked at Xiao Ran and said seriously,

"Brother Xiao Ran, this is a cultivation technique that can conceal one's cultivation level, called the Breath Concealment Technique."

"It is a mid-level Xuan-rank cultivation technique. After you start practicing it, no one can detect your true cultivation level unless they are two major realms higher than you."

"Oh? This is quite a good thing!"

Xiao Ran nodded happily and took the blue scroll.

My mind was completely absorbed in it.

Concealing Breath Technique: At the initial stage of cultivation, it can conceal a person's true realm, depending on the user.

When one's cultivation reaches its peak, one can silently and stealthily hide in place, undetectable by any soul or battle qi probe.

It is truly an essential fighting skill for going out on adventures, seizing opportunities, training for survival, and traveling at home.

Looking at the description of the cultivation technique, Xiao Ran nodded in satisfaction.

He reached out and gently took Xiao Xun'er's hand in his.

"Xun'er, thank you! This technique is very useful to me!"

Xiao Xun'er chuckled and shook her head.

"Brother Xiao Ran, there's no need to be so polite with Xun'er."

"You helped Xun'er advance her soul power last time, but you didn't make her say thank you, did you?"

Xiao Ran smiled and nodded, then feigned helplessness and said...

"Well, it seems the old saying is true: it's hardest to resist the kindness of a beautiful woman."

"It seems that in the future, I, Brother Xiaoran, will have no choice but to repay Xun'er with my body."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xun'er's pretty face immediately turned bright red, all the way to her ears.

She stood up and pressed the backs of her hands against her burning cheeks, her face flushed.

"Brother Xiao Ran is so mean."

After saying that, he quickly ran out of the reception hall.

Looking at Xiao Xun'er, who seemed like a butterfly fluttering in the air,

Her long, black hair, which swung and swayed in the sunlight, seemed to glow in the light.

"This is youth."

A smile involuntarily crept onto Xiao Ran's lips.

Then, he focused his mind to examine the cultivation technique that his system had previously rewarded him with.

**Soul Shadow:** A low-level Earth-rank combat skill that allows the user to freely condense soul power and unleash a profound soul attack! Possessing immense soul power, it can even directly attack those with weaker soul power, ignoring their battle aura defenses. It can even render enemies senseless or cause their souls to shatter and die!

In short, the technique can be summed up in two words: Soul Skill!

This caused Xiao Ran's pupils to shrink slightly.

A soul skill! This is a low-level (Earth Rank) soul skill!

It is important to know that in ancient times, on the Dou Qi Continent, Dou Qi cultivation, soul cultivation, and various other practices progressed in tandem.

However, over the millennia, apart from the cultivation of fighting spirit, almost all other cultivation techniques have been lost to the annals of history.

Soul-related cultivation techniques and soul skills have survived in scattered fragments due to the presence of alchemists in the battle qi cultivation theme.

In the original storyline, Xiao Yan never had any soul skills or techniques.

During the Dan Tower assessment, he secretly learned a few tricks from the demoness Cao Ying.

That's just a Xuan-level Soul Skill!

Xiao Ran quickly immersed himself in the task and began to study diligently.

Several miles away from the Xiao family residence, Ling Ying, dressed in a black robe, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with lingering fear.

He breathed a long sigh of relief.

He turned his head to look in the direction of the Xiao family.

"Phew! Young Master Xiao Ran's soul power is getting stronger and stronger! He might have reached the Great Perfection of the Mortal Realm, right?"

Speaking of this, Ling Ying felt bitter!

He was originally the young lady's protector.

Previously, I would always keep watch over the young lady from within tens of meters.

Later, with the appearance of Xiao Ran, it gradually became one hundred meters, then two hundred meters!

Just moments before, he was clearly in the Xiao family's martial arts arena when Xiao Ran, who was far away in the reception room, suddenly discovered him with his soul.

How will he be able to protect his young lady at close range in the future?

But the young lady forbids him from revealing his whereabouts, which is really a headache!

After a long while, Xiao Ran slowly stood up and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"As expected of an Earth-rank Soul Skill! Now that I possess a Soul Skill at the Great Perfection of the Mortal Realm, although my Battle Qi Realm is somewhat low, with this Soul Skill, I can now contend with experts at the Battle Spirit level!"

"Give me time to unleash my soul skill, and I can use a powerful memory-erasing technique on the enemy!"

Just then, a system notification sounded in Xiao Ran's mind.

[Ding! The system has issued a new "lie-down" task. Please check it.]

[The new lying-down spot is at the large rock behind the Xiao family's house. The duration of lying down is three hours!]

[Please proceed as soon as possible to complete the mission! Completing the system mission will reward you handsomely.]

Upon hearing the system notification, Xiao Ran's eyes lit up.

How could I have almost forgotten?

Today is not only the day Xiao Yan's engagement was broken off, but also the day he becomes the disciple of the Ring Grandpa.

How could I possibly miss such an important event?

Previously, it was just a famous scene mission with a three-year agreement, but Xiao Ran obtained a Earth-rank Soul Skill, and even his soul realm reached the Great Perfection of the Mortal Realm.

His own battle qi realm also dropped by more than one major realm!

If this happens a few more times, wouldn't I quickly become a Douhuang powerhouse in the Jiama Empire?

It's not impossible for them to even reach the level of Dou Zun, Dou Sheng, or even Dou Di!

Upon realizing this, Xiao Ran stood up without saying a word and rushed out of the reception hall.

It flew towards the back mountain of the Xiao family.

Lying down is certainly a good thing, but lying down with the ability and lying down without the ability are two completely different concepts!

Xiao Ran was very clear about this point!

the other side.

After Xiao Xun'er returned to her room.

He glanced indifferently at the corner.

He slowly began to speak.

"Come out."

A black figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the corner; it was Ling Ying.

He bowed and clasped his hands in greeting to Xiao Xun'er.

"Miss."

Xiao Xun'er frowned slightly and asked,

"I sensed that Elder Ling's aura was somewhat disordered just now. What happened to you then?"

Ling Ying said seriously,

"Miss Qi, just now, Young Master Xiao Ran's soul power suddenly erupted."

"This old servant was caught off guard and seems to have been discovered by Young Master Xiao Ran."

"I have no choice but to flee. I hope you will forgive me, Miss!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xun'er lightly touched her red lips with her slender fingers, frowning as she pondered for a moment.

He then said calmly,

"So, Brother Xiao Ran must have found you."

Ling Ying lowered her head, waiting cautiously and silently for Xiao Xun'er's instructions.

Xiao Xun'er pondered for a moment and said,

"Since Brother Xiao Ran didn't say anything, you can continue as before and pretend you didn't know anything about today's events."

"Yes, Miss, this old servant understands," Ling Ying said respectfully.

"Oh, right."

Xiao Xun'er suddenly spoke up and asked,

"What is Brother Xiao Ran's current soul realm? Can you sense it?"

Previously, she only knew Xiao Ran's Dou Qi realm and did not ask about anything else.

Because she didn't want her brother Xiao Ran to think she was being too inquisitive.
