Battle Through the Heavens: I can solidify the talents of all things

Behind the Xiao family's mountain, in a secluded open space, the air began to distort slightly due to the high temperature, and a scorching heat began to spread.

Xiao Qing stood firmly in place, fully focused on practicing the powerful fighting technique taught by Yao Lao – "Eight Extremes Collapse"!

This advanced Xuan-rank combat skill is incredibly powerful. Its essence lies in its ability to compress immense battle qi to the extreme and unleash it instantly. When the fist is thrown, it not only possesses the obvious force capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks, but also contains layers of hidden force that are increasingly fierce.

When cultivated to its peak, the eight layers of hidden energy combine and explode, and its destructive power is comparable to an ordinary Earth-rank combat skill!

Xiao Qing's internal fighting spirit rapidly circulated according to the profound path of "Eight Extremes Collapse," with a massive amount of fighting spirit frantically converging towards his right fist.

hum!

A dazzling golden-red aura suddenly rose from Xiao Qing's right fist!

This was not ordinary battle aura; it was a terrifying flame containing horrifying power, leaping and burning with a destructive aura that sent chills down one's spine, causing the surrounding air to crackle and pop.

Having accumulated enough power, Xiao Qing's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He twisted his waist and unleashed his right fist like a meteor, striking the giant blue stone in front of him that was harder than steel!

Boom!!!

Wherever the fist passed, the air was compressed to an extreme degree and then exploded violently, producing a sonic boom that made people's eardrums hurt!

The fist, wreathed in golden-red flames, slammed into the boulder with overwhelming force.

The moment of contact—

Bang! ! !

The massive bluestone couldn't even last a moment before it exploded as if it had been blasted from within, turning into countless fragments that scattered in all directions!

However, what is even more terrifying is that before the flying debris even hits the ground, it is instantly engulfed and entangled by the golden-red flames attached to it, as if they were alive!

Wherever the flames passed, regardless of the size of the stones, they were instantly scorched and vaporized by the extreme heat, turning into wisps of smoke and disappearing without a trace, leaving not even a trace of residue!

This punch not only contained the unparalleled power of the Eight Extremes Collapse technique, but also the terrifying characteristic of Xiao Qing that could burn everything!

Its destructive power has already surpassed the scope of a high-level Xuan-rank combat skill!

Xiao Qing slowly withdrew his fist, gently clenched his right hand, and felt the nearly ten percent of his battle qi being instantly consumed.

With the powerful regenerative ability of the innate spiritual body and the high-speed operation of the mid-level Xuan-rank "Burning Technique", it immediately began to frantically absorb the surrounding天地能量 (heaven and earth energy), and replenished the lost fighting qi in just a few breaths.

At this moment, Xiao Qing looked at the empty ground in front of him, where only wisps of scorching blue smoke remained, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

"This 'Eight Extremes Collapse' truly lives up to its reputation as a fighting technique whose power is comparable to that of a high-ranking Earth-level opponent!" Xiao Qing looked at the power of this attack, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes, and couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

"The interplay of overt and covert force, coupled with the annihilating power of flames, would likely leave even a peak Grand Battle Master with no chance of survival without special survival techniques!"

The old man's soul floated out of the ring and hovered to the side.

He gazed at the completely erased trace of the boulder, then at Xiao Qing, whose breathing was steady and who seemed to have struck casually. His somewhat ethereal face was filled with complex emotions, which finally culminated in a long, melancholic sigh:

"Ah! From the time I began teaching you the 'Eight Extremes Collapse' fighting technique until now, it's only been a few short days, yet you've already mastered it to such a profound and comprehensive level!"

The old doctor shook his head, his tone filled with disbelief and a deep sense of helplessness after being deeply shocked: "That's not all! You were able to perfectly integrate the special power of your 'Innate Fire Spirit Body' into the 'Eight Extremes Collapse'!"

"The power of this punch has now truly reached the level of a low-level Earth-rank combat skill!"

"It's even slightly stronger than some ordinary low-level Earth-rank combat techniques! It's no longer just 'comparable' as before!"

"You little rascal! You're a real freak!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qing chuckled, his tone laced with confidence and a hint of teasing, and said, "Teacher, this is called exceptional talent, how can you call me a freak?"

"Hmph, you brat! You're always making fun of your master!" Upon hearing this, the old doctor laughed and scolded helplessly. Although his words were reproachful, his tone was full of undisguised satisfaction and pride.

"I've cultivated enough; I should go back to my clan." Xiao Qing's smile faded as he looked towards his family's direction.

"I haven't seen my aunt in a long time. I wonder how she's been doing lately."

After handing the pills over to Xiao Zhan, Xiao Qing had not seen Yan Qian for a long time.

So much time has passed; Yan Qian must have taken the Grade 4 Qi-Strengthening Pill he refined, and her body must have fully recovered. It's time to go back and visit her!

As he spoke, Xiao Qing's mind stirred, and the battle qi within his body circulated along another profound route—it was a profound-level movement technique taught by Yao Lao.

With a light touch of his toes on the ground, Xiao Qing's figure blurred instantly, like a wisp of green smoke, and swiftly sped towards the Xiao family's territory, leaving a faint afterimage in his wake.

……

Xiao Family, Martial Arts Square—

Xiao Zhan stood with his hands behind his back, watching the young disciples diligently cultivating on the field, a gentle and expectant smile on his face.

At this moment, an old servant dressed in the uniform of the Xiao family, with a respectful expression, quickly walked over, bowed to Xiao Zhan, and whispered, "Clan leader, there is a mysterious guest outside the manor requesting an audience."

"He called himself 'Xiao Yuan' and was accompanied by a little girl named 'Xun'er'."

"Furthermore, this person carries a token from Elder Xiao Lin, saying he has come specifically to pay a visit to you, Elder!"

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Zhan's eyes, which then turned into deeper contemplation.

"Xiao Yuan?" 』

"A mysterious guest carrying his father's keepsake?" Xiao Zhan frowned slightly, a sense of doubt and vigilance rising in his heart once again.

Xiao Zhan quickly searched his past memories, but in the end he could not recall any close friend or relative named "Xiao Yuan" that his father had mentioned before his death.

"Could they be friends Father met during his travels in his early years? Or perhaps some hidden branch of a clan?"

Xiao Zhan secretly pondered the identity of "Xiao Yuan".

"Regardless, he possesses my father's keepsake and specifically requested to see me, so I still need to meet him."

The old servant continued, "However, the clan chief's wife has already invited them to the council hall to wait for their seats."

"Is Qian'er already receiving them?"

Xiao Zhan's mind began to race.

Yan Qian is gentle and considerate, but since her health improved, she has not often taken the initiative to receive visitors, especially mysterious figures whose identities are unknown.

Xiao Zhan remained expressionless, nodded to the old servant, and said in a steady tone, "Madam's actions are very thoughtful. I will go over now."

After saying that, Xiao Zhan didn't linger any longer and quickened his pace as he headed towards the council hall.

At the same time, my heart was filled with doubt and vigilance, but also with a growing desire to investigate.

He wanted to see just who this "Xiao Yuan" was, holding his father's keepsake.

Xiao Zhan vaguely sensed that this unexpected visitor might bring some unusual stories...
