Battle Through the Heavens: Reborn into the Xiao Family, Starting with Xiao Xuan's Inheritance

Chapter 44 I'd rather be a martial arts student like Lin Dong than a liberal arts student like Xiao Yan.

Xiao Xuan then looked down again at the fragment of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame Diagram in his hand.

He said in a deep voice, "Little fellow, the Pure Lotus Demon Flame is ranked third on the Strange Flame Ranking, so finding its location won't be easy—"

"It is already an immense stroke of luck that you found this fragment of the map in this cave today—"

"Judging from the residual aura on it, there must be three more fragments of this map. Only by collecting all four fragments should we be able to determine the location of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame."

Xiao Yi also looked at Xiao Xuan and smiled slightly, saying softly, "Ancestor, now that this fragment of the map is in our hands, it means that fortune is on our side. Therefore, we should be able to collect the remaining three fragments in the future."

Xiao Yi was determined to obtain the remaining three fragments of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame map.

Because Xiao Yi clearly remembered that "angel investor" Hai Bodong had one, and Black Corner Domain and Zhongzhou each had one.

Xiao Xuan nodded in agreement: "That's right. The most urgent thing for you right now is to improve your strength—"

"You've been slacking off on your cultivation lately, haven't you—"

"After all this time, I'm still stuck at the early stage of the Flame Induction Realm. Logically speaking, this low-level Earth Rank cultivation technique shouldn't be this difficult to cultivate—"

Xiao Xuan looked down at Xiao Yi, his eyes filled with confusion.

Because the cultivation technique that Xiao Xuan initially practiced was also this [Crimson Sun Burning Heaven Technique].

Unlike Xiao Yi, Xiao Xuan advanced from the "Flame-Attracting Realm" to the "Melting Vein Realm" in just one month.

However, Xiao Yi has been practicing this technique for almost a year, but he is still stuck at the early stage of the "Flame Drawing Realm", which means he has made no progress.

Even without the support of the Dou Di bloodline, Xiao Xuan still felt that this speed was rather slow.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi also showed some difficulty.

He slowly gathered the inner fire within his body, focusing it in his palm.

A tiny flame slowly appeared, a flame that hadn't grown much in a long time.

Xiao Yi was also quite puzzled, as he had clearly followed the steps recorded in the scroll and cultivated wholeheartedly.

However, the inner fire that had been ignited did not grow at all.

Xiao Xuan glanced briefly at the inner fire gathering in Xiao Yi's palm and instantly understood.

She smiled slightly and said softly, "Little one, this really isn't your fault—"

"It was my carelessness on my part—"

"This [Crimson Sun Burning Heaven Technique] is a fire-based cultivation method, which emphasizes resonating with the fire-based energy around the body. However, the fire-based energy in Wutan City seems to be too scarce—"

"Look, the color of the fire you've conjured isn't pure enough—"

"But don't rush it. Just find a place with abundant fire energy, and your improvement will be extremely rapid—"

Xiao Yi nodded upon hearing this.

In this place teeming with fire energy, Xiao Yi had already made his choice.

Perhaps by then, our ancestor Xiao Xuan will be able to see "acquaintances" from a thousand years ago—

As usual, after his heart-to-heart talk with Xiao Xuan, Xiao Yi did not linger there.

Instead, he returned to the guest room prepared for him by Little Fairy Doctor to rest.

The next morning.

"boom--"

Xiao Yi was still fast asleep when the door to his guest room suddenly shattered open.

Dozens of burly mercenaries had surrounded the guest room.

The leader was none other than Mu Li, who had been frightened by Xiao Yi in the street yesterday, and a middle-aged man with an even more burly build and a vicious look.

Without a doubt, it must be Mu She, the leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, Mu Li's father, and a two-star Dou Shi.

"That brat really was hiding here!"

"Father, this is the very boy who insulted our Wolf Head Mercenary Group in the street yesterday!"

Mu Li pointed at Xiao Yi and immediately added fuel to the fire by muttering something.

Xiao Yi merely smiled coldly at Mu Li's framing and did not want to explain.

After all, a dog can't understand an argument.

Upon hearing this, Mu She did not immediately make a move. Instead, he turned to look at Xiao Yi and said softly, "To have reached the Dou Shi realm at such a young age, your talent is quite good—"

"It's just a pity that geniuses are often cut short—"

Xiao Yi merely smiled coldly: "A two-star Dou Shi, what makes you think you can defeat me—"

As soon as Xiao Yi finished speaking, the Dragon Abyss Breaking Formation Spear appeared in his hand.

"Commander Mu, Mr. Xiao Yi is my guest. Aren't you being a little too rude?"

At this moment, Little Fairy Doctor finally appeared, came to Xiao Yi's side, looked in the direction of Mu She and said in a deep voice.

Mu She merely smiled wickedly: "This man insulted my Wolf Head Mercenary Group and should be suppressed here—"

"Since he is Little Fairy Doctor's friend, then spare his life, abolish his fighting spirit, and have him kneel here for the rest of his life to atone for his sins—"

Upon hearing this, a flash of anger crossed Little Fairy Doctor's eyes. Pointing at Mu She, she scolded, "Mu She, don't go too far!"

Xiao Yi, however, didn't react much. He simply took a step forward, shielding Little Fairy Doctor behind him, and said softly, "Don't worry, this kind of trash can't hurt me—"

Before Mushe could speak, Muli, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but speak up first.

His father's presence today gave him courage.

"Insolence! Attack!"

Muli shouted, and the dozens of mercenaries behind him rushed forward.

Together with Mu Li, they charged towards Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi stood still, neither dodging nor flinching.

The Dragon Abyss Breaking Formation Spear in his hand trembled slightly, and immediately a layer of red battle aura appeared on the spear.

"boom--"

A flash of red light appeared, and several streams of red battle qi were unleashed.

Muli and the dozens of mercenaries were instantly thrown to the ground.

"Commander Mu, if you want to take me, why don't you do it yourself?"

"A piece of trash like Dou Zhe probably can't do anything to me!"

As soon as Xiao Yi finished speaking, his figure transformed into several streaks of red light and leaped into the air.

The Dragon Abyss Breaking Formation Spear already contained endless red light, pointing directly at Mu She.

"The Dragon Awakens!"

Xiao Yi didn't want to waste time on idle chatter, because he wasn't a scholar like Xiao Yan, but rather had the style of Lin Dong.

Why waste words when you can just take action?

Seeing Xiao Yi use his fighting technique first, Mu She was not afraid and drew his broadsword from his waist.

A wicked smile curled at the corner of his lips: "Heh heh heh—a one-star Dou Shi dares to be so arrogant!"

"Wind Blade Dance!"

Azure battle aura instantly enveloped the Mu Serpent Greatsword.

He also activated a low-level Xuan-rank fighting technique, attempting to contend with Xiao Yi.

Upon hearing Mu She's extremely familiar laughter, Xiao Yi simply said coldly, "Lacking the strength of the Soul Hall, yet behaving like one—"

The next second, the dragon head appeared on Xiao Yi's spear.

With a swing of the spear, a streak of red light and battle aura ripped through the air, accompanied by a dragon's roar, and flew rapidly toward Mu She.

Only when Xiao Yi unleashed his fighting technique did Mu She realize how terrifying it was.

However, it was too late to dodge, so he could only grit his teeth and swing his broadsword.

Countless afterimages of large swords appeared immediately, colliding with Xiao Yi's dragon-headed light blade—
