Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

"Don't worry, even if the sky falls, it won't hit us."

Looking into Xiao Yan's eyes, Xiao Fan knew what Xiao Yan was worried about. He smiled and comforted Xiao Yan.

Xiao Fan had already decided that once he arrived in Zhongzhou, he would first try to curry favor with Venerable Feng, and then he would try to persuade Xiao Yan to stay at Lucky Pavilion as the young master!

Having been familiar with the plot, Xiao Fan naturally knew what the optimal solution was.

If someone without a background learns the Three Thousand Thunder Movements, the Wind and Thunder Pavilion will naturally force them to learn it. However, if the young master of the Starfall Pavilion learns the Three Thousand Thunder Movements, it is called an exchange of learning and a testament to our good friendship.

Moreover, Xiao Fan was also aware that Venerable Feng had been reserving the position of Pavilion Master of the Starfall Pavilion for his teacher. Once the two of them arrived, Venerable Feng would definitely decide on the position of Young Pavilion Master and not let Xiao Yan sit in it. That position would definitely be his.

Xiao Fan didn't want to face a bunch of things all day long; otherwise, he wouldn't have let Xiao Yan take the position of sect leader when the inner courtyard established the Panmen.

Poor Xiao Yan, before he even set foot in Zhongzhou, his future had already been clearly arranged by Xiao Fan.

Riding on griffins, the group estimated it would take about half a month to reach Tianya City.

During this time, Xiao Fan and his group cultivated on the back of the griffin.

Xiao Fan continuously observed the Five-Wheel Fire Technique. The Chaos Fire surged in his hands, and from time to time, the appearances of various beast spirits appeared. The deductions he had made in his mind while recuperating were quickly mastered by Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan became increasingly adept at controlling fire.

When Venerable Tianhuo saw Xiao Fan's rapid progress in the Five-Round Fire Technique, he was extremely surprised. After discovering Xiao Fan's special physique, he could only sigh and say that he was truly blessed by the heavens.

Xiao Fan's physique already had a high affinity for fire, and now that he has obtained the Five-Round Fire Technique, his understanding of fire control has also skyrocketed. Similarly, this means that Xiao Fan's combat power has also been greatly enhanced.

It could be said that the flames that were originally only capable of destroying a single tree could now be used by Xiao Fan to burn down a small hill.

Similarly, Xiao Yan was not idle either. He kept reviewing the Mountain-Opening Seal that Xun'er had given him in his mind. Xiao Yan gradually became familiar with this fighting technique and was able to skillfully apply it in battle.

Moreover, having previously comprehended general ruler techniques and acquired the "Six Harmonies Swimming Ruler" at auction, Xiao Yan had gained profound insights during his time in the inner courtyard. Combining the ruler techniques of the Six Harmonies Swimming Ruler, Xiao Fan gradually developed his own ideas on ruler techniques. Based on the strike he had comprehended earlier, he conceived the idea of ​​creating his own fighting technique.

As everyone continued their cultivation, half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and they finally arrived at the location of Tianya City, the Tianqing Mountains.

After crossing the mountain range, Xiao Fan and his companions had a wider field of vision and soon saw a city standing proudly on the distant horizon.

In the surrounding sky, it was no longer just Xiao Fan and his group; there were also many strange flying magical beasts carrying people, flying towards the location of Tianya City.

However, flying magical beasts as rare as griffins are ultimately few and far between. Apart from a few major powers, very few people can possess such a top-quality flying magical beast.

The passersby were surprised to see that only Xiao Fan and his companions were on the griffin's back, and they wondered which powerful faction Xiao Fan and his group belonged to.

"Land."

Knowing the rules of Tianya City in advance, Xiao Fan controlled the griffin to land at the location where Tianya City managed flying magical beasts, not intending to have any further interaction with Tianya City.

After all, Tianya City was just a stopover for Xiao Fan. He didn't want to get into any trouble, and he didn't intend to go through any boring side quests that he could skip by relying on his familiarity with the plot.

Chapter 86 Leaving

They didn't attract any attention from others in a conspicuous way. Although the griffins that Xiao Fan and his group rode still drew the attention of some people, they were few and far between.

The group landed at the flying magical beast parking area in Tianya City. Xiao Fan then patted the griffin's head and said, "Alright, let's go back."

Seemingly understanding Xiao Fan's words, the griffin affectionately nuzzled Xiao Fan's head before flying back the way it came without looking back.

Because flying is not allowed in the airspace above Tianya City, the landing point for these flying magical beasts is built outside Tianya City.

Before they even entered the city, they could hear the hustle and bustle emanating from within. Such a prosperous city was extremely rare, even in the Black Corner Region. More importantly, Tianya City was not a chaotic place like the Black Corner Region; fighting was not allowed here.

The reason why such good order exists is inseparable from the power of Tianya City and the Luo family.

The Luo family is the most powerful force in Tianya City. Similarly, the space wormhole in Tianya City is naturally under the control of the Luo family. Relying on the existence of this space wormhole, the Luo family's daily income is an astronomical figure.

The space wormhole in Tianya City was built by an ancestor of the Luo family who invited a friend to build it, and it has been more than a hundred years since then.

After entering Tianya City, Xiao Fan and his group began to inquire about the spatial wormhole, but to their surprise, it was under repair.

"Protagonist halo?"

Hearing that the space wormhole was under repair, Xiao Fan frowned slightly.

The time they left the Black Corner Region now is different from that in the original story, but even so, they still happened to encounter the time when the space wormhole was damaged. Although this space wormhole has been used for hundreds of years, Xiao Fan did not believe that it would be so easy to be under repair. In the end, Xiao Fan could only attribute it to the effect of Xiao Yan's protagonist halo, and he encountered such a melodramatic plot.

Knowing the plot well, Xiao Fan led Xiao Yan and his group straight toward the center of Tianya City.

"Senior brother, are you going to help the Luo family repair this spatial wormhole?"

Looking in the direction Xiao Fan was heading, Yi Pan sensed that Xiao Yan had spoken to Xiao Fan, and his face showed a hint of surprise. If it were him, he would probably choose to observe the situation first.

"Ah."

Xiao Fan nodded slightly and said to everyone, "Since we have nothing to do here anyway, why not take this opportunity to see the spatial wormhole?"

Soon after, Xiao Fan and his group arrived at the center of Tianya City.

In the center of Tianya City, there is an extremely vast square, which is guarded by layers of Luo family guards. In the middle of the square, there is a huge, dark void about ten zhang in diameter, which slowly rotates. As the dark void rotates, streams of spatial power constantly spread around it.

Within the dark wormhole, specks of silver light occasionally emanated, creating a peculiar sight.

When Xiao Fan and his group arrived, there were still a few figures in the square. Two of the figures looked somewhat old, and the strength they exuded was no secret to Xiao Fan; they were both only two-star Dou Zong level cultivators.

"These must be the so-called Han elders, right?"

Xiao Fan's gaze swept over the two arrogant old men, then fell on another old man in a blue robe. The old man's aura had reached the level of a five-star Dou Zong. He was frowning as he approached the spatial wormhole, a hint of disappointment on his face.

"It's still not fixed. It seems we'll have to wait a while longer..."

Looking at the spatial wormhole before him, Luo Cheng's face showed disappointment. Even though he had summoned the two elders of the Han family and spent a great deal of money, the spatial wormhole was still not repaired. Every day that was delayed meant that the Luo family would lose a large amount of income.

Thinking of this, Luo Cheng felt even more heartbroken.

"What are you doing!"

Just then, Luo Cheng heard the voice of the guards behind him. He frowned and looked back, his already unpleasant mood becoming even more depressed.

What came into Luo Cheng's view was none other than Xiao Fan and his group. He was about to say something when he was interrupted by the terrifying aura emanating from Xiao Fan.

"Eight...Eight-Star Dou Zong!"

Sensing the terrifying power emanating from Xiao Fan, both Luo Cheng and the so-called Han elders were filled with astonishment, cautiously scrutinizing Xiao Fan.

"Young friend, what brings you here?"

Luo Cheng looked at Xiao Fan, a hint of doubt flashing across his face at first, then he seemed to understand, his eyes lighting up as he asked, "You've also come for the spatial wormhole?"

Xiao Fan didn't mince words with him. He nodded and said directly, "I heard that you are gathering powerful experts to repair the spatial wormhole. I happen to have some experience in the field of space, so I came to give it a try."

As he spoke, Xiao Fan reached out and leaped into the space, appearing from an open area ten meters away.

This technique was something Xiao Fan had been forced to use when he was in the magma world, forced upon him by those fire lizardmen. He had become extremely proficient in the use of space techniques after only a short time using them.

"Okay!"

Seeing Xiao Fan's actions, Luo Cheng's face flashed with excitement. With Xiao Fan's strength as an eight-star Dou Zong, coupled with his familiarity with the Dao of Space, Luo Cheng knew in his heart that as long as Xiao Fan took action, this spatial wormhole could definitely be repaired.

However, Luo Cheng soon realized that getting a powerful expert like Xiao Fan to help would likely come at a considerable cost.

"Have I not yet asked your name, young friend?"

"Just call me Xiao Fan."

Upon hearing this, Luo Cheng smiled warmly and said, "Since that's the case, then I won't stand on ceremony. Young friend Xiao Fan, this spatial wormhole is currently in chaos. If you help us repair it, I will definitely give you a satisfactory reward. How about that?"

"My Luo family is skilled in selling magical beast cores. Just ask, and we will give you any seventh-tier magical core that we have. What do you say?"

Xiao Fan nodded slightly when he heard about the reward Luo Cheng mentioned. The seventh-tier magic core was just a small prize. In fact, Xiao Fan also wanted to experience the structure of the space wormhole up close and see what was so amazing about it.

Seeing Xiao Fan agree, Luo Cheng was overjoyed and quickly went to greet them. When he saw Zi Yan and Xiao Yan standing to the side, a hint of surprise flashed across Luo Cheng's face. Such a talented young man must have a powerful force behind him!

If I handle things well, the Luo family's power might double again in the future.

"This spatial wormhole was built by my ancestor Luo family with the help of a friend. It has been used for many years. The problem this time is probably because the imprint between the two spatial nodes has faded a bit. Young friend, you just need to deepen these imprints, and there should be no problem."

As Luo Cheng led Xiao Fan toward the spatial wormhole, he explained to Xiao Fan. Then, the two elders of the Han family returned to the vicinity of the spatial wormhole, and the four of them sat cross-legged.

Although Xiao Fan's strength had reached the eight-star Dou Zong level, and with the power of space, he was quite confident in repairing the body, Luo Cheng and the two elders of the Han family did not sit idle for the sake of safety.

After listening to Luo Cheng's explanation, Xiao Fan roughly knew what to do. He probed the spatial wormhole with his soul power and sensed the chaotic energy and spatial power within.

Similarly, Xiao Fan also sensed that a complex mark had solidified on the spatial node in front of him. However, due to prolonged use, it had been tainted with a lot of chaotic spatial power, and the mark had been worn away and dimmed considerably.

Xiao Fan extended his soul power, continuously sorting out the surrounding spatial energy, gradually calming the originally chaotic power. Then, he used his soul power to deepen the mark on the spatial node, and the repair was completed.

During this process, having come into such close contact with the power of space, Xiao Fan gained a clearer understanding of it and felt that his cultivation level seemed to have subtly improved.

Finally, an hour later, Xiao Fan and the others opened their eyes again. The spatial wormhole in front of them had been repaired and was slowly rotating. Streams of silver linear light surged continuously within the dark wormhole.

"The repair is finally complete."

Looking at the restored spatial wormhole before him, Luo Cheng's face lit up with joy. He looked at Xiao Fan, took out a box from his storage ring, handed it to Xiao Fan, and said with a smile, "Young friend Xiao Fan, this is the seventh-tier magic core I promised you. This time, I must thank you for your help."

Immediately afterward, Luo Cheng took out a uniquely made token from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Fan, saying, "Also, if you ever need to use our spatial wormhole in the future, just let me know. If I'm not around, you can use it for free with this token."

Hearing Luo Cheng's words, Xiao Fan hesitated for a moment but did not refuse. At least from their current interactions, there was no conflict between them.

Moreover, as the only city within a thousand miles of Tianya City that possesses a spatial wormhole, befriending it in advance would also be of great benefit.

"Hehe, then thank you very much, Brother Luo Cheng."

Xiao Fan reached out and took Luo Cheng's jade token, and the way they addressed each other subtly changed.

"Hahahahaha."

Hearing Xiao Fan's words, Luo Cheng laughed heartily, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes. He said to Xiao Fan, "I wonder if you two have any free time? If you're not in a hurry, since you're already here, why don't you come to my residence to rest for a while?"

Hearing Luo Cheng's invitation, Xiao Fan shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Luo, we have to go to Zhongzhou this time, so we won't bother you any longer."
