Xiao Yan's expression changed. Could it be that Tang Zhen had changed his mind about what he had promised? However, recalling Tang Zhen's previous behavior, Xiao Yan realized that Tang Zhen didn't seem like the type to break his word...
"nothing.........."
Xiao Fan shook his head slightly, his gaze falling on Zi Yan, and said with a serious expression, "Zi Yan, you must promise me that you won't wander around aimlessly in the future."
Thinking of the terrifying strength of the Fire Cloud Ancestor, Xiao Fan felt a sense of helplessness. If it weren't for the fact that they had just helped the Burning Flame Valley refine pills, thus incurring their favor, and that the people of the Burning Flame Valley weren't exactly considered evil, and that the Fire Cloud Ancestor held them in goodwill, perhaps things would be different now...
That's why Xiao Fan was worried that Zi Yan might provoke other powerful figures by recklessly breaking into the barrier in the future. Although his current strength has reached the Dou Zun level, which seems terrifying, only Xiao Fan knows that in this Dou Qi Continent, which well-known power doesn't have a Dou Sheng in charge?
With his current strength, if he were to encounter a Dou Sheng expert, the opponent would probably only need to beckon him with a finger and he would have no ability to resist at all.
"My strength is improving too slowly..."
Xiao Fan shook his head helplessly, then his gaze fell on Zi Yan.
"it is good."
Zi Yan also noticed Xiao Fan's seriousness about the matter, and her face showed a rare solemnity as she made a promise to Xiao Fan.
Seeing Xiao Fan with such an expression was rare for Xiao Yan, and he knew it was probably related to Zi Yan. However, seeing the expression on Xiao Fan's face, Xiao Yan had no intention of asking. If even his senior brother couldn't solve the problem, asking would only add to his troubles.
Leave everything to my senior brother; trust him.
Just then, a series of rapid footsteps approached. Xiao Fan and the other two turned around and saw Tang Zhen leading a group of people toward them.
Seeing the smile on Tang Zhen's face, Xiao Fan knew that the other party probably didn't come to question him.
"Haha, young friends Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan, thank you both!"
Tang Zhen entered the courtyard, looked at Xiao Fan and the other two, and couldn't hide the smile on his face. He said to them, "This is my daughter, named Tang Huo'er."
Tang Zhen waved his hand, and Xiao Fan and the others noticed the beautiful young woman following behind him. Tang Huo'er was wearing a tight leather outfit that accentuated her curvaceous figure. Her gaze shifted slightly, and Xiao Fan and the other man kept their eyes fixed on her.
Tang Huo'er received Tang Zhen's signal and bowed slightly to Xiao Fan and the other person. This time, she also knew that if she hadn't been willful and forcibly absorbed the Nine Dragons Thunderfire, it probably wouldn't have caused so many changes.
Having experienced this life-or-death crisis, her originally unruly nature has become much more restrained.
Seeing Xiao Fan and his companion's unwavering gaze, Tang Huo'er was incredibly surprised. She wasn't unaware of the way the disciples looked at her in the valley, which had made her extremely confident in her figure. But now, noticing Xiao Fan and his companion's actions, a sense of curiosity arose within Tang Huo'er about these two young men whom her father had always praised…
"Fire is so grateful to you both for saving my life..."
Tang Huo'er bowed slightly to Xiao Fan and the other person, and then her playful voice rang out.
"No need for formalities. In the end, this is just a deal between us and Valley Master Tang."
Faced with Tang Huo'er's gratitude, Xiao Fan and his companion did not take credit, but instead focused their attention on Tang Zhen.
Upon hearing this, Tang Zhen's expression remained unchanged. He looked at Xiao Yan and said, "Young friend Xiao Yan, I have already communicated your request with the Elders' Council. You can learn our 'Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Flame'."
At this point, Tang Zhen gestured, and an old man immediately stepped forward from behind him. He approached Xiao Fan and Tang Zhen with a broad smile on his face, wiped his hands on his clothes, and then took out a fiery red scroll from his storage ring and handed it to Xiao Fan.
"Um... Xiao... Young friend, this is the 'Three Transformations of Heavenly Fire' of my Burning Flame Valley. Although it has been handed over to you, we hope that you will keep your promise and not let this fighting technique fall into the hands of others..."
"It's natural."
Xiao Fan nodded slightly, accepted the scroll from the elder, then cupped his hands in thanks to Tang Zhen and the others, and said, "Thank you, senior."
Xiao Fan was familiar with the original work. He knew that simply helping Tang Zhen refine the Fire Bodhi Pill was not enough to obtain the Heavenly Fire Three Transformations. However, from the elder's attitude just now, Xiao Fan could also sense that Tang Zhen had told the elders about his strength, so the elders chose to pass on the Heavenly Fire Three Transformations to them as a way of gaining good karma.
After all, according to Tang Zhen, Xiao Fan had not only reached the Dou Zun realm at a young age, but his talent in alchemy was also unmatched. The elders of Burning Flame Valley were not fools and were naturally willing to befriend such a genius.
"Valley Master Tang, I don't know about the request I made earlier..."
Xiao Fan handed the Heavenly Fire Three Transformations to Xiao Yan behind him, then turned his gaze to Tang Zhen and asked with some curiosity.
"this.........."
Upon hearing this, Tang Zhen was slightly taken aback, and said to Xiao Fan, "Young friend, it's not that I don't want to give you a chance, but the Nine Dragons Thunderfire is truly the foundation of my Burning Flame Valley. Exposing its core is such a thing..."
"I understand, it was my rudeness!"
Xiao Fan was not surprised at all upon hearing this. After all, if he put himself in Tang Zhen's shoes, he could understand Tang Zhen's apprehension.
Exposing the Nine Dragons Thunderfire essence, which had been enslaved by the Burning Flame Valley for generations, to a Dou Zun powerhouse was an act that, if Xiao Fan hadn't given him a lot of help beforehand, and if Tang Zhen hadn't gotten to know Xiao Fan a little better after their brief time together, he probably would have treated Xiao Fan as someone who was trying to cause trouble.
Tang Zhen looked at Xiao Fan's expression, a hint of hesitation on his face, before continuing, "Young friend, although I cannot let you experience the true essence of the Nine Dragons Thunderfire, if you wish, I can unleash its full power and unleash its might, allowing you to experience it firsthand..."
"can!"
Upon hearing Tang Zhen's words, Xiao Fan did not hesitate. Even if he could not access the origin of the Nine Dragons Thunderfire, he could still carefully sense this strange fire.
Seeing Xiao Fan nod, Tang Zhen no longer hesitated. He waved his hand slightly, and Tang Huo'er and the elders behind him immediately stepped back and landed on the wall surrounding the courtyard, watching the two of them.
"boom!"
With no one else around, Tang Zhen waved his hand, and the raging thunder dragon of Crimson Fire roared out instantly, enveloping the entire courtyard in the blink of an eye. The scorching heat continuously assaulted the people on the surrounding walls.
"Such terrifying power..."
On the wall, Xiao Yan shielded Zi Yan behind him, feeling the terrifying aura and scorching energy in the air, and the strange fire within his body began to stir.
Xiao Yan took a deep breath to suppress the strange fire within his body...
Looking again, one could see Xiao Fan sitting cross-legged in the middle of the courtyard, surrounded by roaring fire dragons. The intense heat he generated distorted and burned even the space itself...
Chapter 140: Out of the Valley
In the courtyard, feeling the terrifying power of the Nine Dragons Thunderfire, Xiao Fan not only did not retreat, but also moved closer to the center point where the energy was most concentrated. In an instant, the surrounding天地能量 (heaven and earth energy) was filled with only the concentrated fire attribute power.
Under Tang Zhen's control, the Nine Dragons Thunderfire emitted terrifying energy fluctuations, yet it was confined to this small courtyard by his powerful strength.
The crowd standing on the outer wall of the courtyard watched as Xiao Fan, amidst the Nine Dragons Thunderfire, moved without any restriction and even approached the most terrifying area of fluctuation. Except for Xiao Yan and Zi Yan, everyone showed expressions of surprise.
The elders of Burning Flame Valley exchanged glances, their regard for Xiao Fan and his companion growing even stronger.
The power that Xiao Fan displayed had indeed reached the Dou Zun level.
Moreover, the fact that the opponent could withstand the Valley Master's Nine Dragons Thunderfire without any pressure suggests that their strength is likely far more terrifying than the Valley Master described...
Similarly, Tang Zhen, who was manipulating the Nine Dragons Thunderfire, understood Xiao Fan's meaning as he watched Xiao Fan's actions. He had been worried about hurting Xiao Fan, since Xiao Fan had made great contributions to refining the Fire Bodhi Pill. It wouldn't sound good if he accidentally hurt him.
However, sensing the aura emanating from Xiao Fan, Tang Zhen also showed a hint of surprise on his face, wanting to see just how monstrous Xiao Fan, who had broken through to the Dou Zun realm at such a young age, truly was.
"Shh!"
With a thought, Tang Zhen's aura surged instantly.
The people who were originally standing on the walled mountain felt the sudden surge of heat, their brows furrowed, and in the end they could only move further away, watching Tang Zhen and Xiao Fan from a distance.
After all, even the aftershocks of a Dou Zun expert's attack are extremely troublesome for them. Furthermore, while releasing the power of the Nine Dragons Thunderfire, Tang Zhen also had to keep an eye on Xiao Fan within the sea of fire, leaving him with little energy to protect them. He could only urge them to stay away from the area.
Amidst the sea of fire, feeling the surging power of the Nine Dragons Thunderfire, Xiao Fan was not surprised at all. A golden glint flashed in his eyes as, under the vision of his Golden Eyes, Xiao Fan's gaze fell upon the strange fire swirling in mid-air.
"Ang~"
It let out an invisible roar, and the surrounding flames surged even more.
Xiao Fan's expression remained unchanged. The movements of the Nine Dragons Thunderfire were continuously broken down in his eyes, transforming into streams of pure energy. The flow of this energy became traceable in his vision...
The originally terrifying and raging Nine Dragons Thunderfire seemed to transform into streams of energy in Xiao Fan's vision. Xiao Fan's gaze swept over these dense fire-attribute energies and then landed on one of the areas that had been reinforced in layers.
"This must be the core of the Nine Dragons Thunderfire..."
Xiao Fan's eyes shone even brighter as he examined the core of the Nine Dragons Thunderfire. However, he discovered that terrifying energy shackles were constantly sealing the core of the Nine Dragons Thunderfire, tightly restricting it. The aura of the markings emanating from it was clearly the method of the Burning Flame Valley.
"laugh!"
Xiao Fan moved with a whooshing sound of wind and thunder, instantly appearing in front of the Nine Dragons Thunderfire. Spatial power enveloped the Nine Dragons Thunderfire, causing it to suddenly stop moving and be sealed in place by the spatial power.
"Ok?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Tang Zhen's eyes, but he did not stop. With a gentle wave, the Nine Dragons Thunderfire, which had been imprisoned by spatial power, broke through Xiao Fan's blockade. After all, Xiao Fan had only just entered the Dou Zun realm, and his research on spatial power was naturally inferior to that of Tang Zhen, who was at the five-star Dou Zun realm.
However, in that brief moment of stagnation, Xiao Fan had already achieved his goal. With the help of his Golden Eyes' ability to detect weaknesses, he sensed the existence of the Nine Dragons Thunderfire core. He had used the power of space to catch them off guard and cause a slight stagnation, which allowed him to briefly observe the core of the Nine Dragons Thunderfire. Unfortunately, due to the secret techniques of the Burning Flame Valley, Xiao Fan did not have the opportunity to come into contact with the core of the Nine Dragons Thunderfire.
After all, if he were to make contact under these circumstances, Tang Zhen would definitely be able to detect his actions, which could lead to misunderstandings. This is not the time to antagonize Burning Flame Valley.
Although he didn't get to the core of the Nine Dragons Thunderfire, today's gains have already exceeded Xiao Fan's expectations.
As he continued to devour different flames and improve the grade of the Chaos Flame, his control over the Chaos Flame had become extremely profound, and his application of the Chaos Flame was far beyond what he had done before. He also had some new plans in mind regarding the fact that the Chaos Flame could transform into different flames after devouring other flames.
Returning to his original position, Xiao Fan's gaze fell upon the still roaring Nine Dragons Thunderfire. The heat in his eyes had vanished, and he turned to look at Tang Zhen beside him, nodding slightly.
Tang Zhen was slightly surprised when he saw Xiao Fan's actions, but he didn't investigate further. He reached out and the Nine Dragons Thunderfire that had been swirling in the courtyard instantly returned to Tang Zhen's hand, then merged into his body and disappeared.
"Is this the end?"
High in the distance, the crowd that had been forced to retreat due to the outburst between the two looked at Xiao Fan, who had only been gone for a few minutes, with a look of astonishment on their faces.
The elders of Burning Flame Valley exchanged glances, and Tang Zhen's previous evaluation of Xiao Fan came to mind again.
No, a Dou Zun level expert, in just a few minutes?
I was just about to delve into the details and watch the intense battle between the Dou Zun powerhouses, and it's over already?
For a moment, the expressions on the faces of many spectators were quite strange.
"Wow, that's fast..."
Zi Yan's childish voice rang out, tinged with a hint of regret.
The childish voice sounded quite abrupt in the quiet environment. Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. After all, this was a rare opportunity for a Dou Zun expert to make a move, and there was no danger to them. It would be a pity to miss such a precious opportunity to observe.
"Boom!"
Just then, a crisp sound came from Zi Yan's head, and Xiao Fan appeared in front of her. Looking at Zi Yan, whose eyes were filled with tears and who was rubbing her head, Xiao Fan reached out and rubbed her head. Then he looked at Tang Zhen and said, "Senior Tang, your control over the Nine Dragons Thunderfire is indeed impressive!"
"Hehe, don't call me senior. If you don't mind, just call me brother!"
