Emotionlessly leaving the main hall, the frustrated Xiao Yan followed his daily routine and slowly climbed to the top of the mountain behind the clan building. Sitting at the top of the mountain, Xiao Yan calmly watched the distant steep mountain peak shrouded in mist. There, within the fog, was the famous Magic Beast Mountain Range of the Jia Ma Empire.
“Hehe, power ah.. In this world, without power, you are not even worth it. At least, no one tried to trample the dirt. ” With shoulders waving up and down, the gentle voice of the self-mocking young man echoed on the mountain peak, filling the air with grief.
Pulling his hair, Xiao Yan bit his lips, allowing a bloody taste to spread in his mouth. Although he did not let his emotions approach him in the main hall, Nalan Yanran's words pierced his heart like a knife.
“I will never be insulted like this again!” Opening his left hand, which still had a bloody scar from the events of the day, Xiao Yan's voice was hoarse but firm.
“Hehe, Son, it looks like you need help.”
Just when Xiao Yan uttered his vow, a wrinkled and strange laughter entered his ears.
Xiao Yan's face changed and he immediately turned around. With an eagle-like gaze, he scanned his surroundings but did not even find a shadow…
“Hehe, stop looking, I'm in your hands.”
Just when Xiao Yan thought he was hallucinating, that strange laughter aimlessly rang out again.
Xiao Yan's eyes contracted and his gaze was fixed on the black ring of his right hand.
You were talking? Holding back his heartbeat, Xiao Yan tried to keep his voice calm.
“Nak, you are calm enough, not to be afraid of stupid.” From the ring, a mocking voice sounded.
“Who are you? Why are you in my ring? What's it trying to do? ”
After calming himself down, Xiao Yan asked an important question.
“Who am I? You don't need to know, I won't hurt you. Hahaha, after all these years, I finally found someone with a pretty strong soul. What luck! Hehe, I must thank you for your offerings for the past three years, otherwise I might still be sleeping. ”
“Embration?” Xiao Yan blinked his eyes in confusion. After a while, his face darkened and cold words came out of his teeth with great difficulty: “Dou My Qi disappeared ... You did that?”
“Hehe, I have to do that, son, don't be mad at me.”
“You F *CKER!”
The usually calm and calm Xiao Yan became furious like a madman. His little face was filled with savagery, and without caring that the ring was the only memento of his mother, he tore the ring off his finger and threw it over the cliff with all his might.
The moment the ring escaped from his hand, Xiao Yan's mind finally cleared. In a hurry he tried to catch the flying ring but the ring had already passed through the cliff, falling freely down the mountain…
Gazing at the ring that disappeared into the mist, Xiao Yan was stunned for a long time. Eventually, his face lost its savagery and calmness. He hit his forehead, annoyed: “Idiot it was too reckless, too reckless!”
To realize that the cause of his humiliation for the past three years was the ring he had always worn, it was no wonder that Xiao Yan reacted so violently.
After sitting on the edge of the cliff for a long time, Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly. Standing up, he prepared to return but his eyes widened and his finger trembled with a point toward the object in front of him.
“Hehe, son, you don't need to be so angry right? I only need three years of your Dou Qi. ” The transparent elder smiled at the stunned Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan's mouth twitched and he suppressed his anger. He said: “Geezer, since you are hiding inside the ring, then you should know how much pain you caused since you took my Dou Qi right?”
“But with these three years of humiliation, you have grown up right? Did you think three years ago you would have this kind of tolerance and mindset? ”
Xiao Yan furrowed his brows but his emotions started to calm down. After anger, a hint of happiness took over Xiao Yan. Since he knew why his Dou Qi had disappeared, his talent had returned!
Thinking about the opportunity to unleash the title of a cripple that countless others had bestowed on him, Xiao Yan felt as if he had been reborn. The disgusting elder in front of him did not look as annoying as before.
Some things, after disappearing, will make one start appreciating its value! After losing and getting it back, one appreciates it more!
Lightly twisting his wrist, Xiao Yan let out a long sigh and said: “Although I don't know who you are, I wonder if you plan to remain in the ring to steal my Dou Qi. If that's the case then I'll ask you to find a new owner, I can't afford to continue raising you. ”
“Hehe, others do not have a Soul Perception as strong as you.” Elder stroked his beard: “Since I have already chosen to appear, then before you give permission, I will not take your Dou Qi.”
Xiao Yan rolled his eyes and sneered without saying anything. He had already decided, whatever the elder said, he would not keep the ring by his side.
“Son, do you want to be strong? Do you want to be respected by others? ” Although Xiao Yan had already decided not to do anything more with that elder, his heart started to beat violently upon hearing those words.
“I already know why my Dou Qi is disappearing and with my talent, why do I need you to be strong?” Sighing in a small breath, Xiao Yan smoothly said. He knew that there was no free lunch in the world. Being indebted to a mysterious person, is not a smart move.
“Son, although your talent is quite good, you should know that you are already 15 years old but your Dou Qi is only at 3 Duan. I think I heard that your adult ceremony is next year right? Do you think that in a year, by using your talent and hard work, you can reach 7 Duan Qi? Moreover, the girl you promised to fight three years from now also has no shabby talent. You want to chase and surpass him? It's not gonna be easy.” The elder's face full of wrinkles blossomed like chrysanthemums.
“If you don't take my Dou Qi, do you think all of this will happen? You dick! ” After his greatest weakness was revealed, Xiao Yan's face darkened once again and he began to curse.
After cursing, Xiao Yan felt a hint of despair. In his current situation, no matter how much he cursed, there would be no effect. The practice of Dou Qi required a solid foundation. Back when he was four years old, it took him 6 years to reach 9 Duan Dou Qi. Even with his talent, reaching 7 Duan Qi in just one year was hopeless.
Sighing with depression, Xiao Yan glanced at the pretentious elder. The tip of his mouth curved and he asked: “Do you have a solution?”
“Maybe.” The elder replied faintly.
“If you help me reach 7 Duan Qi in just one year, then I will forgive you for taking my Dou Qi for three years. How about that?” Xiao Yan asked.
“Hehe, wishful thinking nak.”
“If you can't help me, why should I hold you, someone useless, by my side? You should look for another unfortunate person. ”Xiao Yan knows that transparent elders cannot randomly pick up Dou Qi from others so he knows that he has leverage in negotiations.
“You're not even close to a 15-year-old young man. This three-year cycle has helped you grow tremendously. Did my plan backfire? ” Seeing the clever Xiao Yan, the elder stopped and then dumbfoundedly shook his head.
Xiao Yan shrugged his shoulders and lightly said: “If you want me to keep you by my side then you should at least have sincerity, right?”
“Sharp-mouthed child. Alright, alright, after all, I really need your help. ” With no other choice, the elder nodded and slowly descended to the ground. After examining Xiao Yan for a bit, a dangerous smile spread across his face. But as soon as it appeared, it went and the elder pondered for a moment before unwilling to ask: “Do you want to become an alchemist?”
