Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

"Disciple Grand Competition?"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, this competition was only recently arranged, and it's meant to be a friendly exchange of skills."

As the number of disciples in the Starfall Pavilion increased, the competition among them intensified. For example, there were occasional quarrels between disciples, infighting among small groups, and all sorts of other things that happened one after another.

As it turns out, when there are a lot of people, unexpected problems are more likely to arise.

Therefore, providing appropriate occasions for them to vent their emotional desires is a good thing.

"Is that so? By the way, Uncle-Master, are we still going to the Four Directions Pavilion Grand Competition?"

Han Feng asked.

"Go! Why wouldn't you go?"

Feng Xian said matter-of-factly.

"We let Fenglei Pavilion win last time, we have to get our revenge this time!"

Han Feng smiled and said, "Okay, I'll visit then."

"That would be great. If you come too, this year's Four Directions Pavilion Competition will be really exciting."

Feng Xian said with a smile.

"Senior Uncle, I'll go find Junior Brother now."

"Well, let's go."

Feng Xian waved and watched Han Feng leave.

Star Tower.

The highest level.

The star power here is the most concentrated. Xiao Yan sat cross-legged on the star stone slab, circulating the Xuan Yang Dou Qi within his body.

In his dantian, a small, colorless flame burned continuously, refining the impurities in his battle qi and increasing the speed of his cultivation.

The Fallen Heart Flame is Xiao Yan's biggest cheat right now.

With the aid of the Fallen Heart Flame and various cultivation resources, Xiao Yan's cultivation level rose rapidly, and he is now a powerful expert at the Nine-Star Dou Wang realm!

Just one step away from breaking through to the Dou Huang level!

Xiao Yan changed his hand seals, calming down the fighting spirit he controlled with the "Mysterious Yang Technique".

Choosing this cultivation technique back then made Xiao Yan realize how wise he had been.

The neutral nature of the "Mysterious Yang Technique" allows it to accept Yang-attribute energies that are different from the power of the fire element.

For example, stellar energy.

Stellar energy can heal human injuries and is a type of yang energy.

Over the years, a significant portion of the external energy Xiao Yan has absorbed has come from stellar energy.

If I had chosen one of the other two cultivation techniques, I wouldn't have been able to experience the profound effects of the power of the stars.

Although one can still heal with the power of the stars, it is obviously unrealistic to incorporate it into one's own battle aura.

Once I break through to the Douhuang Empress level this time, I should probably change my cultivation method.

Xiao Yan thought to himself.

Although the low-level Earth Rank "Mysterious Yang Technique" was easy to use, it had already shown its disadvantage in battles against other geniuses in the Central Continent.

Even if it's just a mid-level Earth Rank, it should be much better.

The quality and quantity of battle qi are closely linked to the cultivation technique.

No matter how high Xiao Yan's comprehension was, he could not make a low-level Earth Rank technique achieve the same effect as a high-level Earth Rank technique.

Fortunately, the "Mysterious Yang Technique" is a transitional cultivation method specifically for those transitioning to a new cultivation path.

He can be replaced at any time if Xiao Yan wants.

There are quite a few high-level Earth-rank cultivation techniques within the sect for him to choose from.

The appeal of a semi-saint is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

If Xiao Yan's cultivation level weren't currently insufficient, he could have chosen to cultivate Heaven-rank techniques and fighting skills.

However, the conditions for cultivating to the Heavenly Rank are extremely demanding, and Xiao Yan currently does not meet the requirements.

Han Feng's figure quietly appeared on the top floor of the Star Tower.

He glanced at Xiao Yan, who was sitting cross-legged on the star stone cultivating, and immediately understood his current cultivation level.

Peak of Nine-Star Dou Wang.

The speed is not slow.

After all, not everyone has a special physique that allows them to advance rapidly without reason.

Xiao Yan was just an ordinary person with exceptional talent and comprehension.

He could have been a descendant of a Dou Di family, but now that advantage is gone.

Three years and nine stars, still at the Dou Wang level.

That's already pretty good.

Han Feng didn't have high expectations for Xiao Yan.

As long as you don't slack off in your practice, that's enough.

As for the rest, no matter the weather, Han Feng could shield him from it.

Xiao Yan, who was cultivating, felt a slight stirring in his heart, as if he sensed the changes in the Fallen Heart Flame within his body.

Why the sudden enthusiasm?

Xiao Yan muttered to himself.

He looked inward at the "elated" Fallen Heart Flame, then opened his eyes in confusion.

The next second, his eyes widened suddenly.

"Brother!"

Chapter 286 Sparring

"Now that we've reached the critical point for a breakthrough, why not go out and explore? Simply burying ourselves in hard work won't do."

Han Feng approached with a smile.

Xiao Yan jumped up and looked at Han Feng with surprise.

"I heard from my senior uncle that you've been in seclusion in the Star Tower for half a year?"

Han Feng said.

"Yes, after the teacher went into seclusion, I also went into seclusion."

Xiao Yan replied.

"Senior brother, when did you arrive?"

"I just arrived today."

Han Feng asked, "How are you doing? Are you settling in well at Starfall Pavilion?"

Xiao Yan nodded: "It's great. The cultivation environment here is very suitable for me."

"Then why have I heard that quite a few disciples in the pavilion are not very convinced of your worth?"

Han Feng smiled.

Xiao Yan, as Yao Chen's disciple, held a high position, but his cultivation level did not reach the level expected by everyone.

There are many disciples in the pavilion whose cultivation surpasses that of Xiao Yan. The youngest of them is about the same age as Xiao Yan, but he is already a two-star Dou Huang.

Xiao Yan touched his nose.

"It's just a minor conflict, nothing to worry about."

Although he might say it's nothing, Xiao Yan actually cultivates diligently every day. His current advancement to the level of a nine-star Dou Wang is something that cannot be achieved by slacking off on ordinary days.

Han Feng saw through the other party's thoughts at a glance, but this was a conflict between disciples, and indeed a minor one.

As a Battle Saint, it's inconvenient for him to interfere.

Han Feng smiled slightly and chose to avoid the topic.

"Come on, let's go outside and practice. Let's see if you've improved in combat skills over the years, besides your cultivation level."

Xiao Yan paused for a moment, then nodded.

It's such a rare opportunity to spar with my senior brother.

The next moment, Han Feng brought Xiao Yan to the outside of the Star Tower.

In a clearing in the mountains, Han Feng and Xiao Yan stood facing each other.

"Take action."

Han Feng said to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan took a deep breath and circulated all the Dou Qi within his body.

He knew that beating his senior brother was out of the question; the purpose of this sparring session was to let his senior brother know his current strength.

"Mysterious Yang Technique!"

Xiao Yan let out a low shout, and a layer of powerful fire-attribute fighting qi appeared around his body.

As a Battle King, he already possessed the ability to communicate with heaven and earth in a preliminary way.

Swish!

Xiao Yan closed in at full speed, arriving in front of Han Feng in the blink of an eye. His fiery battle qi followed each move, striking Han Feng.

boom!

Han Feng neither dodged nor evaded, but only used his fists and feet to defend against Xiao Yan's attacks.

After a few rounds, Xiao Yan, having gained no advantage, retreated to his original spot to begin recuperating.

Han Feng commented, "This skill is quite well practiced."

The Xuan Yang Technique is moderate and balanced. Although its power is not the strongest, its strength lies in its solid foundation.

In just a few seconds, Xiao Yan had almost finished regulating his breathing.

"Great Flame Martial Body, activate!"

Xiao Yan's arms trembled, and his muscles instantly swelled, making his body at least half again as large.

In the past two years, he has also focused on body tempering with flames.

A streak of fire flew over, and Xiao Yan's current form, with every punch and kick possessing the power to split mountains and shatter rocks, combined with the continuous flames, turned the surrounding leaves red.

Han Feng stretched out his hand, and two of his fingers turned white.

Tengen Finger!

Two fingers can transform mountains and rivers.

Han Feng used his fingers to counter Xiao Yan's fist, and each move precisely targeted the weak points in Xiao Yan's attack.

If it were a battle between equals, these weaknesses would naturally be masked by speed and strength. However, from Han Feng's perspective, Xiao Yan's speed and strength had completely lost their advantage, leaving only the flaws in his moves.

After Xiao Yan's initial surge of arrogance was exhausted, he felt increasingly passive. Compared to his senior brother, he realized that although he had used all his strength in every punch, they were still easily broken.

Even though Senior Brother Mingming is using power now, it's not much stronger than his.

Xiao Yan knew that if Han Feng intended to retaliate, any move he made could defeat him.

After finishing a set of fighting techniques, Xiao Yan, panting heavily, dispelled his Great Yan Martial Body.

He has become acutely aware of his own weakness.

However, the flaws in the moves are being patched up little by little.

This is why sparring with others is necessary, especially sparring with experts.
