Chapter 2: The Seven-Year-Old FighterAt the back mountain of the Xiao family, under a hidden cliff, Xiao Yun sat cross-legged in a cave under the cliff. This cliff was the place for training carefully selected by Xiao Yun. He would come here before to practice his fighting spirit. Opposite the cliff, there was fog and mist, in the fog, the dangerous Demon Beast Mountain Range was hidden. Below the cliff, there was an abyss that stretched as far as the eye could see. The only path leading to this place had been covered by weeds and rubble by Xiao Yun. Therefore, Xiao Yun does not have to worry too much about being disturbed by others when he is practicing and breaking through. "I remember that Xiao Yan used pills to assist his breakthrough to the Fighter level the first time. I have the help of the panel, so it should be OK, right?" Breaking through to become a fighter is not a trivial matter. If the breakthrough fails, the cultivation level will decline. Although Xiao Yun's previous breakthroughs were smooth sailing, the so-called semi-digitalization was just his inner guess. Now that he is facing a breakthrough, he can't help but feel nervous. Taking a deep breath slowly, Xiao Yun closed his eyes and quickly formed hand seals to absorb the fighting spirit. His breathing gradually became steady and the faint fighting spirit in his body moved as he wished, flowing rapidly through his meridians. In the small cave, the calm air suddenly shook violently, and traces of pale fighting spirit seeped out from the air and continuously penetrated into Xiao Yun's body. In Xiao Yun's body, the fighting spirit had gradually filled most of the meridians. Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yun changed his hand seals, and his ten fingers formed a strange hand seal. As the hand seals changed, the surging fighting spirit in the body seemed to be attracted by a powerful suction force and rapidly shrank in the lower abdomen. When all the fighting energy gathered in his lower abdomen, Xiao Yun used his own soul perception to compress the fighting energy in his body, pressing all the fighting energy into a liquid state. Driven by soul power, the fighting energy was like a soldier who received an order, and it was quickly compressed together without any feeling of resistance.
Soon, the fighting spirit was compressed to the size of a palm. With the further stimulation of Xiao Yun's soul power, the fighting spirit turned into a cyclone with a "bang", circling around Xiao Yun's lower abdomen. "Hmm? It's successful. It seems that my guess is correct. It's not difficult to break through to the Fighter level." Xiao Yun opened his eyes and touched his head a little bewilderedly. The whole process was very simple. He simply absorbed the fighting spirit in the air, and then used his soul power to compress the fighting spirit in his body. It felt like he didn't even put in any effort, but he broke through. If there wasn't a vortex of energy swirling around his lower abdomen, Xiao Yun would have suspected that he had failed. This was completely different from what he had heard from the elders in the tribe. According to them, breaking through to the Fighter level was extremely dangerous and the process was long, and it was only possible for someone with great perseverance to break through. As a result, when Xiao Yun broke through, he was promoted to a fighter with just a little effort, and the whole process took less than ten minutes. After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yun closed his eyes and his mind gradually sank into his body. This was inner vision, an auxiliary skill that could only be mastered by a fighter. When my mind entered my lower abdomen, I saw a palm-sized milky white cyclone slowly rotating. Although the volume of this cyclone is much smaller than the previous Dou Qi, the energy contained in the two is very different. After all, what was absorbed before was Dou Qi, and what is absorbed now is Dou Qi! “Now that I have broken through to the Fighter level, I can go to the Fighting Skills Hall to find a technique. It’s a pity that I don’t have the opportunity to become Yao Lao’s disciple, otherwise I might be able to practice the Burning Technique.” The fighting qi technique can only be practiced after breaking through to the fighter level. After practicing, the fighting qi will show a color similar to the attributes of the technique. For a fighter like Xiao Yun who has just broken through, the Dou Qi in his body is milky white, which is attributeless Dou Qi. As for practicing the Burning Technique, the best effect is only achieved in the early stages. Besides, the Xiao family now has a collection of fire-attributed techniques that are not much different from the low-level yellow-grade Burning Technique. Xiao Yun stood up and walked out of the cave quickly. He walked out of the cave, climbed up the cliff along the steep path, and looked around to see no signs of anyone passing by. Only then did he feel relieved and walked straight towards his family. I just returned to my family and walked to my yard, only to see four people, a middle-aged man and three old men standing at the gate of my house, staring at each other with hostility and no one giving in to anyone else. Xiao Yun recognized them, the clan leader Xiao Zhan and the three elders of the Xiao family. "Uncle, Great Elder, what are you doing?" Xiao Yun was a little confused. It had been a while since he left the yard and went to the back mountain to break through. Are these four people standing in front of his door waiting for him without finding him? When they saw that the person coming was Xiao Yun, the hostility on the four people's faces immediately disappeared, and was replaced by extremely warm smiles. "Xiao Yun, you're back? I just passed by your house and thought I hadn't come to see you for a few days, so I wanted to see you. I didn't expect you weren't at home, so I waited for you for a while."
Xiao Zhan spoke first. He was the one closest to Xiao Yun among the four. He was Xiao Yun's uncle, and a real uncle at that! The three elders also nodded, indicating that they, like Xiao Zhan, were passing by and came to see Xiao Yun. Xiao Yun looked at the old faces smiling like chrysanthemums, and his heart was very calm. He knew the purpose of their coming here, probably to win over Xiao Yun and join their camp. After all, for the Xiao family who could only hide in Wutan City, Xiao Yun, who was destined to have an extraordinary future, had a lot of say in the Xiao family. After Xiao Yun invited a few people to sit in the courtyard, Xiao Zhan couldn't help but say to Xiao Yun: "Xiao Yun, you kept saying you wouldn't go to the Demon Stone Tablet for training a few times before, but I didn't expect you to make such a big splash this time. Everyone in the family was scared by you. And from your aura, you have already broken through to the Fighter level, right?" "Yes, uncle, after the test, I went to the back mountain to break through. I didn't expect to break through to the fighter level directly." “Hiss, a seven-year-old fighter, God bless our Xiao family, in the future our Xiao family will surely rise and return to the Holy City of Gama!” Several elders took a breath and contributed to the future global warming of the Douqi Continent. …… Xiao Yun saw that several people were reluctant to state their purpose, so he took the initiative to raise his own questions. "I wonder what Uncle and the elders want to talk to me about?" Xiao Zhan glanced at the Great Elder and found that the Great Elder had no intention of speaking, so he took the initiative to speak. "It's nothing, actually. I just wanted to ask about your future plans." “You also know that our Xiao family is not a big family. For a genius like you, staying in the family will bury your talent. The family can't provide you with any natural resources, so we want to ask you what plans you have for the future." After Xiao Zhan finished speaking, the great elder beside him also smiled and said: "At present, there are only two places we can think of. One is Yunlan Sect. Yunlan Sect is the first sect in our Jiama Empire. There are countless masters in the sect. I think with your talent, if you join Yunlan Sect, you may be accepted as a personal disciple by the sect master of Yunlan Sect. Another one is Canaan Academy, which gathers talented disciples from all over the world. I believe that in that environment, your progress will be faster than that of Yunlan Sect. I also heard that there are Dou Zong masters in the academy. But Canaan College is far away, far away in the Black Horn Region, and if you encounter any problems, the family will not be able to give you any help. " "Of course, the decision is still in your hands. We old guys are just giving you advice." Hearing this, Xiao Zhan looked at the Great Elder with some dissatisfaction. What old guy? I am still in my prime, and you guys are the old guys! What? Yunlan Sect? No, no, not even a dog would go. Xiao Yun almost didn't think twice and said to Xiao Zhan and the three elders directly: "I want to go to Canaan College to practice." Xiao Yun is not stupid. He knows that Yunlan Sect has Soul Palace guardians. He joins Yunlan Sect as a genius of the Xiao family. Isn't this a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth? The Soul Palace guardians must slice him up for research, right? Of course, it was useless to say this to Xiao Zhan and the others. They didn't know about the dealings of Yunlan Sect's old leader Yunshan and the Soul Palace, so it would be useless to say anything. "I prefer places with pressure. Canaan College gathers talented people. I believe I will improve faster there." Xiao Yun said that anyone who wants to go to Yunlan Sect can go, but he will not go in anyway. "Well, with your talent, I believe that even if you go to Canaan College, it will be hard for anyone to match you. Canaan College will come to Wutan City to recruit students in a while, and we will notify you then." "In fact, the Yunlan Sect is not bad either. But since you have made up your mind, then go to Canaan College. This way you won't have to ask the elders to escort you." Xiao Zhan said. In fact, he wanted Xiao Yun to join the Yun Lan Sect. Joining the Yun Lan Sect would be very beneficial to the Xiao family. At least it could provide the Xiao family with a strong backer. After all, the Yun Lan Sect had Dou Huang strongmen! Xiao Zhan sighed and took out a black card from his arms. "It's definitely inconvenient to go out without money. There are 100,000 gold coins on this card. Although it's not much, it's a little support from the family." Xiao Yun hesitated when he saw this and glanced at the other elders. After all, he was not really a child. One hundred thousand gold coins might not seem like a lot, but for the Xiao family it was a big deal. Seeing Xiao Yun's hesitation, the Great Elder stroked his gray beard and explained with a smile: "Take it. These 100,000 gold coins are what we gathered together after discussing it. It's just a small token of our appreciation." After hearing what the Great Elder said, Xiao Yun quickly stepped forward and took the black card from Xiao Zhan's hand. "Thank you, uncle and the elders."
"No need to thank me so quickly, there are still some things I haven't taken..." (End of this chapter)
