Battle Through the Heavens: Bind Xun'er, reward Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame

Several days later.

Xiao Ning's room.

He lay in bed with bandages wrapped around his chest.

Having been severely injured by Xiao Xuan's two palm strikes last time, and having recuperated here for so long, the wounds still ache faintly.

Xiao Ning gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with hatred.

It's all Xiao Xuan's fault.

This caused him to lose face in front of the entire clan.

In front of Xiao Xun'er, he struck him twice, severely injuring him.

How will he ever be able to maintain his standing in the Xiao family again?

Xiao Ning grew angrier the more she thought about it, clenching her fists tightly.

Xiao Yu sat on the edge of the bed, holding a bowl of medicine in her hand.

"Drink your medicine."

Xiao Ning took the bowl of medicine and drank it all in one gulp.

He placed the bowl on the table and looked at Xiao Yu.

"Sister, you told me to be careful that day and not to get hurt by him," Xiao Ning said. "Did you already know his strength?"

Xiao Ning's expression turned extremely ugly.

That day at the martial arts arena, Xiao Xuan stood still, without moving an inch.

One palm strike.

It only took one palm strike.

He didn't even have a chance to react before he was sent flying.

That kind of power is definitely not the third-stage fighting spirit.

"Just what level is his strength?" Xiao Ning asked.

Xiao Yu remained silent for a moment.

"It's highly likely he's a Grand Dou Master."

Xiao Ning froze completely.

Grand Master.

Xiao Xuan is a Great Dou Master.

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

A sixteen-year-old Grandmaster.

In the entire Gama Empire, you probably can't find another one like it.

"Sister, are you sure you haven't made a mistake?" Xiao Ning's voice trembled slightly.

"There's no mistake," Xiao Yu said.

Xiao Ning fell silent.

The scene from that day at the training ground flashed through his mind.

Xiao Xuan stood on the stage, his face expressionless.

When he rushed forward, Xiao Xuan didn't even try to dodge.

One palm strike.

He flew straight out.

He still remembers that power clearly.

It's definitely not something a fighter can achieve.

It is not even the third stage of fighting spirit.

However, it is absolutely impossible for him to be a Grand Master.

Xiao Yu looked at him.

"Xiao Ning, stop targeting Xiao Xuan at every turn."

Xiao Ning suddenly raised his head.

"Sis, what do you mean by that?"

Xiao Yu sighed.

"You are no match for him."

Xiao Ning's face turned bright red.

"Sis, are you saying I can't beat him?"

"You've already fought him," Xiao Yu said. "And you saw the result."

Xiao Ning opened her mouth, wanting to refute, but found herself unable to speak.

Yes.

He has already fought Xiao Xuan.

He didn't even have a chance to fight back.

Xiao Ning's chest heaved violently.

He was not reconciled.

But he had to admit that she was telling the truth.

The door was pushed open.

The Grand Elder walked in.

"Grandpa." Xiao Ning struggled to sit up.

The elder waved his hand, gesturing for him to lie down.

"How are your injuries?"

"Much better," Xiao Ning said.

The elder sat down by the bed, his face grim.

He glanced at Xiao Yu.

"Xiao Yu, you're here too."

Xiao Yu nodded.

The Grand Elder withdrew his gaze and looked at Xiao Ning.

"Just focus on recovering from your injury; don't worry about anything else."

Xiao Ning looked at his grandfather's expression and spoke.

"Grandpa, we must not let Xiao Xuan get away with this."

The elder looked at him.

"rest assured."

Xiao Ning gritted her teeth.

"We must teach him a lesson and kick him out of the Xiao family."

The Grand Elder nodded.

"If it doesn't work last time, there's always next time."

A cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"I'll figure something out next."

Xiao Yu stood aside, listening to her grandfather and younger brother's conversation, a sense of unease rising in her heart.

"Grandpa," she couldn't help but say.

The elder turned to look at her.

"What is it?"

"Xiao Xuan's strength is not simple," Xiao Yu said.

The elder frowned.

"What do you want to say?"

Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment.

"What I mean is, maybe we shouldn't go with..."

The elder's face darkened.

"Are you siding with outsiders and disobeying your own grandfather?"

Xiao Yu lowered her head.

"I did not mean that."

"Then what do you mean?" the elder said coldly.

Xiao Yu bit her lip.

"I just feel that Xiao Xuan is very strong, and continuing to target him will probably not bring any benefits."

The elder stared at her for a moment.

"Xiao Yu, you are my granddaughter," the elder said. "Your brother was seriously injured, and instead of standing up for him, you spoke up for the person who beat him."

"Grandpa, I'm not speaking up for him," Xiao Yu quickly said.

Xiao Yu opened her mouth, but swallowed the words that were about to come out.

That's it.

She said it was no use.

She knew her grandfather's temper; once he made up his mind, no one could dissuade him.

Xiao Yu sighed inwardly.

"Xiao Yu, you may leave," the First Elder said.

Xiao Yu glanced at Xiao Ning, then turned and walked out of the room.

……

Xiao Yu left Xiao Ning's room and headed towards the back mountain.

Walking down the street, she felt somewhat heavy-hearted.

Grandpa is going to make a move against Xiao Xuan.

But she knew in her heart that Xiao Xuan's strength was far more than it appeared on the surface.

That day on the back mountain, she couldn't even withstand one of Xiao Xuan's palm strikes.

That kind of power is definitely at the level of a Great Dou Master.

Even higher.

As Xiao Yu thought to herself, her pace gradually slowed down.

……

The back mountain.

When Xiao Yu reached the halfway point of the mountain, she suddenly stopped.

In the open space in front, Xiao Xuan was sitting cross-legged on the ground.

Several medicinal herbs were placed in front of him.

Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment.

She took a few steps back and hid behind a tree.

Xiao Xuan raised his right hand.

Golden flames surged from his palm.

He threw a medicinal herb into the flames.

Xiao Yu's pupils suddenly contracted.

Alchemy.

Is Xiao Xuan refining pills?

Her breathing quickened.

Although the Xiao family is one of the three major families in Wutan City, there are no alchemists in the family.

In the entire city of Utan, only Master Nico of the Mittel Auction House is an alchemist.

She knew better than anyone how prestigious the status of an alchemist was.

Even the Yunlan Sect, the strongest power in the Jia Ma Empire, has to show deference to alchemists.

If the Xiao family produces an alchemist, their status will immediately rise.

But how could Xiao Xuan be an alchemist?

Xiao Yu suppressed her shock and continued watching.

Xiao Xuan threw the medicinal herbs into the flames one by one.

His movements were very steady.

The flames danced in his palms as if they were his own arms.

Although Xiao Yu didn't understand alchemy, she could tell that Xiao Xuan's technique was extremely skilled.

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Xuan withdrew the flames from his hand.

A perfectly round pill floated in mid-air.

The pill had a faint pattern on its surface and emitted a medicinal fragrance.

Although Xiao Yu couldn't recognize what kind of pill it was, she could sense that it was of a high grade.

Xiao Xuan put the pills into a jade bottle and stood up.

Xiao Yu took a deep breath and stepped out from behind the tree.

"Xiao Xuan".

Xiao Xuan turned his head to look at her.

"Sister Xiao Yu."

Xiao Yu walked up to him, her face showing no unusual expression.

Her heart was churning with turmoil, but she showed no sign of it on her face.

Xiao Xuan is skilled in alchemy.

If this news gets out, the entire city of Wutan will be shaken.

"Sister Xiao Yu, what brings you here?" Xiao Xuan asked.

Xiao Yu snapped out of her thoughts.

"I've come to see you because there's something I need to tell you."

Xiao Xuan looked at her.

"You defeated Xiao Ning last time, making him lose face, and he holds a grudge against you."

Xiao Xuan remained silent.

"He will definitely do something bad to you next," Xiao Yu said. "You should prepare in advance."

"I know," Xiao Xuan said.

Looking at his indifferent expression, Xiao Yu swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

"Sister Xiao Yu, you came to see me just to talk about this?" Xiao Xuan asked.

Xiao Yu remained silent for a moment.
