288. Chapter 288: Xiao Ying's Terrifying Learning Ability!

At this moment,

Gu Fei stood proudly on the edge of the massive deep pit, his gaze sweeping across the devastated land before him, a sense of heroic ambition rising in his heart.

Within a radius of several miles, not a blade of grass remained, and the earth was split open, as if the apocalypse had arrived.

Rolling heat waves surged over, and flames leaped and churned within the deep pit, as if they would burn the entire sky to ashes.

Gu Fei was currently standing above this deep pit, admiring his own masterpiece. "With this terrifying Battle Technique, the Buddha Fury Fire Lotus, in this world today, only those few Nine-Star Dou Saints could defeat me!"

Gu Fei whispered to himself, a confident light flickering in his eyes. On this continent, he could now be considered to have officially stepped into the ranks of the elite! This also settled a small knot in Gu Fei's heart.

After all, Gu Fei had long wanted to try out this Buddha Fury Fire Lotus!

This time, Gu Fei had not expected at all that he would complete the creation of this Battle Technique, the Buddha Fury Fire Lotus, so smoothly! "Ying-ying!"

Just at this moment, a childish cry suddenly rang out.

Gu Fei looked toward the sound.

He saw that Xiao Ying's petite figure had appeared on his shoulder at some unknown time.

He saw that an excited light was flickering in Xiao Ying's lava-like eyes.

It seemed to yearn for that earth-shattering scene from just a moment ago.

The next moment, Xiao Ying flew in front of Gu Fei and raised its small hand, flames instantly condensing in its palm.

In Gu Fei's surprised gaze, a fire lotus took shape in its palm at a speed visible to the naked eye.

That fire lotus was multicolored throughout, emitting a terrifying pressure that made one's heart tremble.

It was exactly the same as the Buddha Fury Fire Lotus Gu Fei had just unleashed! "Buddha Fury Fire Lotus!"

Gu Fei laughed out loud, his eyes full of joy.

This Buddha Fury Fire Lotus was a move created by Gu Fei; apart from him, no one could unleash it! Even across the entire continent, one probably could not find another person capable of using it. Yet at this moment, Xiao Ying had condensed it with a casual wave, and the speed was several times faster than when Gu Fei unleashed it himself! This... this was a tremendous stroke of luck! "Ying-ying!"

A look of pride appeared on Xiao Ying's childish face, as if it were seeking Gu Fei's praise.

"Not bad, little one!"

Gu Fei was stunned for a moment, then burst into hearty laughter.

The next moment, Gu Fei reached out and gently stroked Xiao Ying's little head, his eyes full of doting affection.

Xiao Ying was immediately excited, and stars seemed to be twinkling in those lava-like eyes.

"Ying-ying! Ying-ying!"

Xiao Ying called out again, its childish voice filled with excitement.

This little fellow seemed to be acting spoiled toward him. He saw it wave its small hand, and a beautiful fire lotus, half a foot in size, pink all over, and even appearing somewhat dripping with beauty, appeared out of thin air.

This was clearly Gu Fei's strongest move, a fire lotus fused from seven types of Exotic Fire, enough to threaten the existence of an Eight-Star Dou Saint! In an instant, a wave of pressure once again covered the area within a ten-mile radius! "Xiao Ying, this place can't withstand another fire lotus."

Gu Fei said with a smile.

In an instant, the fire lotus in Xiao Ying's small hand gradually dissipated. Gu Fei gasped, almost rendered speechless by the shock of what he had just seen.

This was a finishing move he had spent a great deal of effort to create, and even he needed quite some time to unleash it.

Yet Xiao Ying had condensed it with a casual wave; this ability to control fire had already far exceeded Gu Fei's imagination.

"Ying-ying!"

Xiao Ying seemed very happy at this moment.

Haha, it seems this little fellow is showing off to me. "Good fellow, you always manage to surprise me!"

Gu Fei couldn't help but exclaim, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes. With Xiao Ying as this capable assistant, he would never need others to help him pin down enemies when fighting in the future.

Because, as long as he had a thought, this little thing would be able to condense the fire lotus at the fastest speed.

After all, when it came to the manipulation of flames, Xiao Ying, this Exotic Flame Spirit, was much stronger than him.

Originally, Gu Fei had been troubled by the fact that condensing the fire lotus required some time.

And the process of battle was often fleeting and ever-changing!

Therefore, this move was originally meant to be used in coordination, with someone nearby first pinning down the opponent.

Now it seemed that was completely unnecessary!

Because, as long as Gu Fei had a thought, this little thing would be able to help him condense the fire lotus at the fastest speed. What was even more terrifying was that, in terms of flame manipulation, Xiao Ying, this Exotic Flame Spirit, was even stronger than himself. Just as Gu Fei was immersed in joy, two figures suddenly descended from the sky and landed not far in front of him.

"Hahaha."

"Gu Fei, congratulations on creating such a peerless technique."

A hearty laugh came from the side. The arrivals were none other than Gu Yuan and Gu Lie.

It was likely that these two old fellows had been unable to hold back any longer and wanted to come over to chat with Gu Fei. "Greetings, Clan Leader, Grandfather!"

Gu Fei hurriedly bowed, his attitude becoming very respectful. Gu Yuan and Gu Lie's gazes swept over the massive deep pit, their eyes full of shock.

Observing it from such close range was even more shocking than from afar.

The intensity of that powerful heat wave was felt even more vividly!!! Even with their cultivation, they had not expected this Battle Technique to be so terrifying.

"Not bad, not bad!"

"The power of this Battle Technique of yours has already far exceeded my expectations."

Gu Yuan nodded repeatedly, a gratified smile appearing on his face.

"Indeed, to be able to create such a peerless technique at such an age, our Ancient Clan has a worthy successor!"

Gu Lie was also full of admiration.

"This time, I had once read an ancient book, so I decided to give it a try!"

Facing the praise of the two elders, Gu Fei dared not be arrogant and hurriedly said modestly.

This was not a lie; Gu Fei had indeed read a book! However, it was not an ancient book, but the original novel of *Battle Through the Heavens*.

Now that he had mastered so many Exotic Fires, creating this Battle Technique could be considered a natural result of the circumstances.

"That fire-control technique of yours, I'm afraid even that fellow Yan Jin would be green with envy!"

Gu Yuan suddenly sighed, a complex look flashing through his eyes.

Gu Fei was taken aback upon hearing this, then immediately recalled that Yan Jin was none other than the Yan Clan Clan Leader.

Apart from himself, there was one other person in this world who had fused Exotic Fires together.

That was Yan Jin!!! Speaking of Yan Jin, this Clan Leader of the Yan Clan possessed the cultivation of an Eight-Star Dou Saint in the late stage, and held two types of Exotic Fire: the Nine Nether Gold Ancestor Fire and the Volcano Stone Flame.

The Yan Clan was renowned for its powerful fire-control abilities, and every clansman had a golden flame pattern on their forehead.

Yan Jin was not only the strongest person in the Yan Clan, but also one of the stronger individuals among the entire Ancient Eight Clans, far exceeding the strength of the Clan Leaders of Ancient Races like the Yao Clan and the Spirit Clan.

However, unlike Gu Fei—Gu Fei relied on the advantage of his cultivation technique!

As for Yan Jin, he relied entirely on his control and understanding of flames, combined with his high cultivation, to forcibly fuse two Exotic Fires together. In this regard, Gu Fei actually felt some admiration for Yan Jin. (End of chapter)
