Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

"Of course I believe you."

Han Feng smiled.

"Alright, you've just broken through. Take a rest for a bit, then go out and stretch your muscles. I'll also teach you a fighting technique while I'm at it."

Upon hearing that Han Feng was going to teach him fighting techniques, Xiao Yan immediately jumped up.

"Senior brother, I'm full of energy now, I don't need to rest!"

Seeing this, Han Feng stood up and said:

"Okay, let's go."

The two arrived at a grove of trees outside the city and marked out a clearing.

"First, use the Eight Extremes Collapse and Flame Dividing Wave Ruler."

Han Feng said to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan twisted his palm, and his bones cracked and popped.

"Eight Extremes Collapse!"

A surge of fighting spirit condensed in his palm, and Xiao Yan aimed his fist at a boulder not far away.

Click!

The moment the fist touched the boulder, cracks spread across its surface, and then with a loud bang, the boulder shattered into dust.

"The power is decent, but now that you're a Grand Master, you can try releasing your battle aura. This will make the use of this battle technique more flexible."

"Yes!"

Xiao Yan suddenly realized that he could now release his fighting spirit.

Immediately, he gathered the fighting spirit of the "Mysterious Yang Technique" in his hand and once again unleashed the Eight Extremes Collapse, blasting it towards a large tree in the distance.

A fist flew through the air, leaving a fist imprint in the middle of the tree.

Then, a hidden force erupted, and the inside of the tree was blown into dust.

"Next is the Flame Dividing Wave Ruler."

Xiao Yan's storage ring flashed slightly, and a huge black ruler appeared in his hand.

Han Feng had demonstrated this move to him before, and Xiao Yan had been practicing it diligently.

After several months of practice, I have already made considerable progress.

As the amethyst fire ignited, Xiao Yan condensed a Dou Qi armor around his body. He hovered his hand over the ruler, and purple fire surged from his palm.

Intense purple flames spread along the patterns on the ruler's surface, and a scorching heat gathered on its body.

When Yao Chen taught this fighting technique, it was specifically designed to be used in conjunction with the Xuanzhong Ruler, which could maximize the fusion of the power of the flames with the fighting technique.

A purple beam of light shot out and flew into the sky.

The lower-level clouds, after being cut in half by the blade, quickly evaporated and disappeared.

"very good."

Han Feng nodded in satisfaction as he watched Xiao Yan skillfully unleash a level-one fighting technique.

"Your attack techniques are already quite advanced. Even a three-star Grand Master wouldn't be able to withstand that attack just now."

Xiao Yan smiled gently in response to Han Feng's praise.

Having gone through countless trials and tribulations, he naturally knew that he would not let Han Feng down.

"Senior brother, what are you going to teach me this time?"

"The Great Flame Martial Body is a body-refining combat technique."

"What level is it?"

"Low-level Earth Rank".

"what?"

It's only at the low-level Earth Rank...

Xiao Yan sighed, thinking that his senior brother was going to teach him some powerful fighting techniques.

boom!

Han Feng tapped Xiao Yan on the head.

The latter immediately clutched his head and cried out in pain.

"Don't be too ambitious. Earth-rank combat techniques are not something you can use at your level. If the level is too high, you won't even have the chance to use them."

"I see."

Xiao Yan rubbed his head and said.

In the following time, Han Feng taught Xiao Yan the training method of the "Great Yan Martial Body" fighting technique in great detail.

In fact, the complete level of this fighting technique is high-level Earth Rank, but after Han Feng broke it down, the difficulty of the first stage of cultivation is only low-level Earth Rank.

As long as Xiao Yan diligently cultivates this fighting technique, he can use it indefinitely in the future.

Even after he breaks through to the Dou Zun realm, his high-level Earth-rank Dou Techniques are still among the best.

"Alright, I have taught you all the cultivation methods. The rest is up to you."

Han Feng said.

"Don't worry, senior brother, I will master the basics of it!"

Xiao Yan said confidently.

"Ah."

Han Feng nodded and then said, "I will be in seclusion for a while, so I won't be able to attend this year's Inner Court Tournament. You'll have to do your best."

Xiao Yan felt a little disappointed when he heard that Han Feng would not be able to watch his match.

"Okay, senior brother, you wait for me in the inner courtyard!"

Han Feng patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder, then turned and left.

"gone."

Xiao Yan waved goodbye to Han Feng and then continued to study the new fighting techniques he had learned.

------

In the inner courtyard, Han Feng returned to the small courtyard.

With his junior brother's matter settled, he can now finally go into seclusion with peace of mind.

This time, instead of informing Elder Su Qian, he went to another magma entrance that Zi Yan had previously discovered.

He crossed the waterfall, arrived at the hot underground cave, and jumped down.

Pfft!

The molten lava was full of fire and earth elemental energy, both of which were usable environmental resources for Han Feng.

He searched for a while in the sea of ​​lava and found a suitable hiding place.

"Just here."

Han Feng set up the defensive measures and sat down cross-legged.

Without hesitation, Han Feng took out the Nine Yuan Spirit Water and swallowed it into his stomach in one gulp.

boom!

The rich aroma spread in his mouth, and this time, Han Feng truly felt the wonder of the Nine Yuan Spirit Water.

Last time he only scratched the surface, but today he's going all out!

Under the influence of the Nine Yuan Spirit Water, the fighting spirit within Han Feng's body was rapidly compressed.

The path to sainthood through the Nine Revolutions is not complicated; it simply involves compressing one's battle qi and then accumulating the same amount of battle qi again.

Repeating this process nine times will allow quantitative changes to influence qualitative changes, ultimately leading to a breakthrough to semi-sainthood.

Han Feng closed his eyes and activated the "Burning Technique," focusing all his attention on breaking through to the next realm.

--------

Half a year passed quietly.

The vast majority of the Nine Yuan Spirit Water was absorbed and refined by Han Feng.

His cultivation level also leaped forward to the peak of the eighth-level Dou Zun.

"call!"

A long, drawn-out breath echoed in the sea of ​​lava.

Han Feng, who had been sitting cross-legged for a long time, moved slightly, and the surrounding world instantly erupted with a powerful energy tide.

"Have you reached the eighth level?"

Han Feng sensed the fluctuations in his internal energy level.

He was completely immersed in the refining of the Nine Yuan Spirit Water.

If the time limit hadn't expired, he probably could have cultivated to the ninth level in one go.

However, for him, the eighth and ninth revolutions were actually not much different.

They are all at the level of sweeping through the Dou Zun realm.

However, to defeat a Half-Saint, the cultivation level of a Dou Zun alone is still somewhat insufficient.

Of course, with the support of the eighth level of cultivation, Han Feng is now confident in fighting against a half-saint.

Even if we can't win, we're not without a fighting chance.

Chapter 182 Coming out of seclusion

Emerging from the sea of ​​lava, Han Feng returned to the small courtyard where he used to live.

Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye. It doesn't feel like a long time, but there's still a lot to do.

Han Feng slightly raised his hand, and a puppet dressed in purple appeared in front of him, handing over a scroll containing intelligence gathered over the years.

Zi Yi is a Dou Zun-level puppet in the Soul Slaughter Division, responsible for intelligence gathering for the Soul Palace in Zhongzhou.

Although Han Feng has not inquired about the affairs of Zhongzhou in recent years, the eighth-order puppet will take the initiative to complete these classification and summarization tasks.

Han Feng took the scroll and infused it with his soul power.

A large amount of information flowed into his mind. After a full quarter of an hour, Han Feng opened his eyes and burned the scroll in his hand to ashes.

The locations of the twenty-four Earthly Fiend Palaces have been identified, and twenty of them have already been discovered.

Only four have yet to be found.

The lowest level of Heavenly Venerable in the Soul Palace is a Five-Star Dou Zun, but there are also those who go up to Dou Sheng.

In his previous life, Han Feng had fought against the Great Celestial Venerable of the Soul Palace. His opponent was a two-star Dou Sheng with considerable strength.

Although they were his defeated opponents, he was clearly not yet capable of facing a Dou Sheng directly.

Han Feng fell into deep thought.

The Earthly Fiend Halls are numerous, and destroying them wouldn't truly harm the foundation of the Soul Hall, but the Heavenly Gang Halls are different.

The Human Palace, where the Great Celestial Venerable resides, is one of the three Heavenly Gang Palaces.

It stores the essence of souls collected from various branch halls.

Only by breaking through that point can we achieve a true stage victory.

Not only could it greatly hinder the Soul Palace's plans, but it could also secure a promotion opportunity for oneself.

However, how to confront the Great Celestial Venerable and the Second Celestial Venerable is a question worth considering.

If you lack strength, you have to make up for it with strategy.

Han Feng pondered for a moment and a preliminary plan formed in his mind.
