Chapter 79: Five-Star Dou Spirit, Technique Evolution
Xiao Ding gave a wry smile, speaking sincerely.
"Jia Lao, I wasn't lying just now; we really haven't gone down there."
Xiao Li, supporting Xiao Ding, also nodded in agreement.
Indeed, they hadn't lied; it was Brother Zhang who went in, not them.
Jia Xing Tian nodded, his question having been just a casual inquiry.
What was Queen Medusa looking for?
His gaze then shifted back to the cave entrance.
Deciding on his next move, he leaped down in a flash.
Xiao Ding and Xiao Li exchanged a glance. Xiao Li was about to say something but was stopped by a look from Xiao Ding.
Xiao Li realized something with a start.
After years of being honed by Dou Qi, a Dou Emperor's vision and hearing are incredibly sharp.
Saying something inappropriate now, in case Jia Xing Tian hadn't gone far, might be overheard.
Meanwhile, Jia Xing Tian passed through the underground passage, flying over the magma with his Dou Qi wings.
Frowning, he found nothing but endless magma.
Feeling the intense heat, Jia Xing Tian decided not to continue his search.
Even Queen Medusa had returned empty-handed, so there was no need for him to waste more time.
Shaking his head, he returned to the surface, ignoring the Mo Tie Mercenary Group, and flew back to the Jia Ma Empire.
The royal family of the Jia Ma Empire was in a dire state, without even a single Dou King, and his old friend was severely injured.
Unless there was a major event, he usually stayed in the capital.
Having been out for a long time, he needed to return to the capital.
His decision to abandon the magma exploration was also influenced by this need.
Seeing Jia Xing Tian leave, Xiao Ding finally let his guard down completely.
...
At this time, in the system space, Su Yun observed all of Jia Xing Tian's actions.
Raising an eyebrow, if Jia Xing Tian had come, Queen Medusa must have left.
Su Yun didn't rashly leave, still staying within the system space.
After three days and nights of treatment, Su Yun's injuries had healed, and his aura was even more vigorous.
Refining the Green Lotus Core Flame, though extremely painful, brought many benefits.
His aptitude improved further after the ordeal with the heavenly flame, the capacity of his Dou Qi increased significantly, and his body and meridians became stronger after being destroyed and rebuilt.
Su Yun focused his mind on his dantian, drawing out the Green Lotus Core Flame and starting to evolve his technique with the "Frost Flame Mantra"!
Instantly, Su Yun's body was enveloped in green flames.
After half a day of enduring, the "Frost Flame Mantra" successfully absorbed the Green Lotus Core Flame.
Running the technique again, the "Frost Flame Mantra" had a few more meridian pathways.
Earth-tier low-level technique "Frost Flame Mantra"!
At the same time, a massive surge of energy coursed through his meridians!
Su Yun circulated the "Frost Flame Mantra" to refine this energy.
Two more hours passed.
Su Yun's aura surged dramatically!
Five-Star Dou Spirit!
Absorbing this massive energy boosted his strength by four stars in one go!
Feeling the abundant Dou Qi inside him, Su Yun's face showed a look of satisfaction.
He didn't immediately leave, as the situation outside was still unclear.
Survive!
Thus, Su Yun continued cultivating in the system space for two more months.
The cave entrance above the magma remained undisturbed for these two months. It should be safe now, right…
Chapter 80: Five-Star Dou Spirit, Technique Evolution (Second Update!)
Su Yun unfurled his Purple Cloud Wings in the system space and activated both the Phantom Decision and Conceal Flame Decision, silently emerging into the outside world.
Arriving above the magma, he was greeted by a wave of intense heat.
Su Yun extended his soul perception.
No one was around.
Su Yun narrowed his eyes, cautiously approaching the passage, displaying the utmost caution.
After a while, Su Yun flew out into the open.
Nothing happened.
Su Yun felt relieved and didn't consider his careful approach unnecessary.
In this perilous world, one could never be too cautious.
Su Yun headed towards the Mo Tie Mercenary Group.
After all, they were notable supporting characters and Xiao Yan's brothers.
Shortly after Medusa left, Jia Xing Tian appeared; they might have been rescued.
Arriving at the Mo Tie Mercenary Group, Su Yun found Xiao Ding and Xiao Li practicing in a courtyard after some searching.
He deactivated the Phantom Decision, revealing himself.
"Greetings, leaders."
Hearing this, the Xiao brothers looked over, overjoyed.
"Brother Zhang!"
The three of them moved to a secluded room.
Xiao Ding and Xiao Li recounted the events that occurred on the surface after Su Yun entered the cave.
Su Yun also explained his experience of using a secret treasure of his sect for protection, avoiding detection by the two Dou Emperors, and then searching for treasures underground for two months before emerging.
He glossed over the details of his long stay underground.
After some discussion, Su Yun brought out two scrolls.
One was a mid-tier Xuan level technique, and the other, a low-tier Xuan level combat skill.
Though these items were of little interest to him, they were more than sufficient as a reward for the Xiao brothers.
After some polite conversation, Su Yun left.
After Su Yun's departure, Xiao Li held the scroll in his hands, cherishing it.
It was a thunder attribute mid-tier Xuan level technique, perfectly suited for him.
"Alright, enough with that, keep it safe," Xiao Ding teased.
"Heh heh," Xiao Li chuckled, then changed the subject.
"Big brother, how powerful must the treasure that Brother Zhang was searching for be, to even attract Queen Medusa?"
Xiao Ding shook his head, replying to Xiao Li.
"How would I, a mere Dou Master, know? Since Brother Zhang didn't wish to tell us, it's better we don't know. Knowing too much can bring disaster."
...
Su Yun, following the desert map provided by Hai Bo Dong, reached the heart of the desert. After seven days, he finally found the Sand Mandala he was looking for.
Using his Purple Cloud Wings, Su Yun began his return journey, planning to head directly to Shi Mo City.
He felt some regret.
Qing Lin, the owner of the Three-Flower Pupil of the Bi Snake, he had not encountered.
He had asked the Xiao brothers to keep an eye out, and even inquired when visiting the Mo Tie Mercenary Group, but there was no news.
Su Yun shook his head in disappointment.
After a while, as Su Yun neared Shi Mo City, he retracted his Purple Cloud Wings and entered the city.
Upon entering, he headed straight for Hai Bo Dong's map shop.
While on his way, suddenly, the mechanical voice of the system rang out.
"Ding, the host has encountered enough individuals of significant fate, meeting the system upgrade requirements. Upgrading now, duration one day.
All system functions will be disabled during this period.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
Please look forward to System 2.0!"
The voice in his mind left Su Yun momentarily stunned, a hint of intrigue in his expression.
On one hand, he was prepared for the system's upgrade, having speculated about it before.
On the other hand…
Su Yun looked around him.
In his view, the system should upgrade immediately upon encountering enough individuals of significant fate, just as it had when he met Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun Er, with no delay.
So, the question was, who was the person of significant fate nearby?
