Battle Through the Heavens: Emperor's Son Xiao Yan

Chapter 41 Come out and fight me one-on-one!

All of you here are renowned second-generation pharmacists, either from families with a long tradition of medicine making or gifted individuals who were discovered and taught by famous teachers from a young age.

Therefore, given their background, they knew some of the secrets of the mainland, but the information Xiao Yan mentioned was something they had never heard of before.

After all, the history clearly recorded on the mainland can only be traced back to about 10,000 years ago at most, and things that happened 50,000 years ago are simply too far in the past.

Ignoring the astonished looks of the crowd, Xiao Yan continued, "After the ancient times, many schools of martial arts disappeared from the continent, leaving only the Dou Qi school and the alchemist school still flourishing. However, during this period, there were still many Dou Di powerhouses on the continent."

This era, during which many martial arts schools declined but powerful Dou Di cultivators still existed, is what is now defined as the ancient era on the continent. It roughly dates back to between 50,000 and 10,000 years ago.

Around ten thousand years ago, a terrifying event occurred on the continent: one after another, powerful Dou Di experts began to slowly disappear from the continent.

From this period onward, the number of Dou Di powerhouses on the continent decreased, and Emperor-grade alchemists gradually disappeared. The last Emperor-grade alchemist was the ancestor of the Medicine Clan, the Medicine Emperor!

With the disappearance of Dou Di powerhouses and Emperor-grade alchemists, the most powerful forces and alchemy techniques on the continent also ceased to exist. Furthermore, with the disappearance of Emperor-grade alchemists, alchemy techniques were no longer at their peak; Ninth-grade alchemists were already the pinnacle of the era.

In other words, the current limit for alchemists is the ninth rank, and in the past thousand years, the more famous ninth-rank alchemists are…

Xiao Yan spoke for about ten minutes, and many people showed expressions of realization or confusion. Some even listened with rapid breathing and great excitement.

Although their backgrounds were not bad, it was only relative; some of the teenagers had never even heard of the Medicine Clan.

What Xiao Yan was talking about were materials that only ancient clans possessed. Although they weren't exactly secrets, they were rarely circulated.

At this moment, many girls looked at Xiao Yan with sparkling eyes, and even Cao Ying and Dan Chen stared intently at him.

"Yes, look at me with that kind of adoring gaze."

Xiao Yan maintained a calm smile, not easily revealing his inner emotions on his face.

"Assistant Song, I'm done speaking," Xiao Yan said, looking at Song Qing.

"Huh? Is it over?"

Song Qing was taken aback at first, then nodded with some lingering interest. Suddenly, he remembered his original purpose and his face darkened when he saw the starry look in Cao Ying's eyes as she looked at Xiao Yan.

"Xiao Yan's explanation is quite good, but we are alchemists, so things like ancient array formations and soul techniques are a bit redundant. Please have a seat."

Song Qing said indifferently.

"Is this son of a bitch starting to cause trouble?" Xiao Yan frowned and sat down without making a sound.

"I hope you don't offer yourself up for me to step on," Xiao Yan thought to himself.

However, Song Qing obviously wouldn't do as Xiao Yan wished. In his eyes, Xiao Yan was now a thorn in his side, someone he wanted to get rid of as soon as possible.

"Xiao Yan, why don't you explain this?"

"What you said is true, but..."

Seeing Xiao Yan's face gradually darken, Dan Chen poked him in fear.

"Are you alright?"

"It's nothing." Xiao Yan smiled and glanced at her, then at Cao Ying, who was still stirring up trouble.

"Xiao Yan, the classroom is a serious setting. I know you are very talented, but I hope..."

Song Qing was smugly pleased with himself for suppressing this unparalleled genius when he heard a faint voice.

"Have you fucking said enough?"

"Huh?" Song Qing's voice stopped abruptly. He never expected that Xiao Yan would dare to insult him directly in class.

"Xiao Yan, are you talking about me?" Song Qing's face darkened further. As someone who had been working in the upper echelons of the Pill Tower for a long time, he still had an imposing and dignified appearance, which made many naive young men feel a sense of fear.

"I'm fucking talking about you, you son of a bitch, where did all this trouble come from?" Unfortunately, this expression was definitely not enough to scare Xiao Yan. He stood up and cursed, "Who are you trying to fool with that big sullen face? Do you want to wipe my insoles?"

"What are you looking at? Are you looking at your father?"

"You, you!" Song Qing's face turned pale and then red as Xiao Yan publicly insulted him. It wasn't that he hadn't received reprimands from the higher-ups of the Pill Tower before, but which higher-up would curse him like a thug in the street?

"You are an insult to civilization! You are a disgrace to the world of alchemy!!" Song Qing pointed at Xiao Yan for a long time, but couldn't come up with any swear words.

"I'll insult your mother, you idiot! What the hell are you looking at? If you're not happy, come out and fight me one-on-one."

Xiao Yan's mastery of C programming was unparalleled. He not only made Song Qing's face tremble with anger, but also left a group of geniuses in the junior class dumbfounded, their eyes filled with fear as they looked at Xiao Yan.

This person is not only strong and talented, but also shameless. He can turn on you like flipping through a book, and he'll start cursing without warning. It looks like he's going to start a fight.

"You said it was a one-on-one fight, are you serious?!" Song Qing, who had been speechless after being scolded by Xiao Yan, suddenly lit up when she heard about the one-on-one fight.

"Of course it's true! If you dare to come out, I'll beat you so badly your own mother wouldn't recognize you." Xiao Yan sneered.

"Alright, Xiao Yan, I accept the challenge! Let's go outside and have a one-on-one fight!!" Song Qing was overjoyed. Xiao Yan was only a two-star Dou Huang, while he was an eight-star Dou Huang. Once they started fighting, Song Qing didn't believe he would lose.

If he wins, he can thoroughly humiliate this brat in front of Cao Ying.

"One-on-one it is, I'm not afraid of you!" Xiao Yan roared fiercely, but a hint of panic flashed in his eyes.

"This kid's scared!" Seeing Xiao Yan's unnatural expression, Song Qing was overjoyed.

He strode towards the outside, glancing back at Xiao Yan as he said, "If you're a man, don't just talk the talk."

"I'm a man of my word!" Xiao Yan seemed to hesitate for a moment, then snorted coldly.

"Hehe, watch me humiliate you in front of Ying'er today." Song Qing sneered, flapped his battle qi wings and flew away.

"Xiao Yan, you are no match for Senior Brother Song!" Cao Ying tugged at Xiao Yan, a hint of worry finally appearing on her face. She realized that things seemed to have gotten a bit out of hand!

"Hmph, I'll deal with you after I've dealt with him." Xiao Yan sneered, sending a chill down Cao Ying's spine.

"No, don't go." A small hand tugged at Xiao Yan's sleeve.

Xiao Yan, who had been in a fit of rage, paused, reached out and patted Dan Chen's head, giving her a gentle smile and saying, "Don't worry, it's alright!"

After saying that, he transformed his fighting spirit into wings and flew away.

"Hurry up, go outside and see!" A group of teenagers, clearly eager for a good show, ran outside one by one.

The class bully getting into a fight with the teacher is incredibly exciting for teenagers of that age.

"If Xiao Yan can beat Teacher Song, I'll follow him from now on," a boy said excitedly.

"Heh, if Xiao Yan wins, he won't need Cao Ying anymore; I can warm his bed myself," a girl said.

"You guys really know how to stir up trouble," Ye Zhong said with a worried expression, realizing that being a class monitor was not an easy task at all.

Seeing the boys and girls watching the spectacle while holding watermelons and drinking animal milk, he suddenly gritted his teeth and ran towards Director Xuan Kongzi's office.
