Chapter 42: Xiao Yan's Dark History

After physical strength and Dou Qi recovered, Xiao Yan began to counterattack. However, whether it was the long-range attack of the Cloud-Parting Palm or the close-quarters combat of the Eight Extremities Collapse, neither could hurt this giant bear in the slightest. These Dou Techniques could only make this giant bear feel pain.

Of course, it wasn't that Xiao Yan couldn't break this giant bear's defense. If he used the Exotic Fire, he could make this giant bear scream for its mother in minutes.

Xiao Yan was just using it as a sparring partner; this giant bear was thick-skinned and was a very good sandbag.

"Although it's a good sparring partner, it's boring to keep scraping. Like a certain shooter, shooting for a long time and not recovering as fast as others. Do I really have to use the Exotic Fire? Is this too frustrating?"

"So you're stuck? You've mastered so many advanced Dou Techniques, but at the critical moment, they all fail." Just as Xiao Yan was at his wit's end, Yao Lao's voice sounded in Xiao Yan's heart.

"Then why is that? These Dou Techniques of mine are almost all Xuan-tier advanced; logically speaking, they shouldn't be unable to break the defense. Although this black bear's defense is quite good." Xiao Yan asked with confusion.

"Hehe, that's because you've only mastered the fur. Take this Eight Extremities Collapse, for example; you've only mastered the eight layers of bright force, but what about the dark force? If you mastered the dark force, would you still be afraid of not being able to break this black bear's defense?"

"Don't even mention it! I almost lost my life. Since I came to the Magical Beast Mountain Range, I've encountered more than a dozen waves of magical beast attacks in just half a month, and each wave has no fewer than three. The key is that these magical beasts were clearly put together temporarily, and they kept chasing me, as if I had something good on me! I think this is your credit, Teacher?" Xiao Yan rolled his eyes and said indifferently.

"I know you want to train me, but this is too exaggerated! If I don't carry the black giant sword, I can barely deal with two or three first-order magical beasts. Carrying the black giant sword on my back, my Dou Qi and physical strength are all suppressed, and I can only exert half of my strength. Facing five magical beasts at once, I really can't take it! This time was okay, last time there was a snake-shaped magical beast that entangled me, making me face the siege of five magical beasts at the same time. Fortunately, I had the help of the Exotic Fire, otherwise, I would have almost died that time." Xiao Yan complained.

Xiao Yan took this opportunity, regardless of whether the black bear was dead or not, and hit the black bear quickly again. Xiao Yan's fists were like knives, and every punch made the black bear lose more than ten pounds of meat. Even if the black bear's body was huge, it couldn't withstand Xiao Yan's attack, and soon its body lost a circle.

"Do you know how powerful magical beasts are? If your body wasn't hard enough, you would have been dismembered by magical beasts long ago. Now you're just suffering some skin injuries, and you're still not satisfied!" Yao Lao said with contempt.

Finally, under Xiao Yan's another attack, the black bear could no longer bear it and turned to run in pain.

Unfortunately, Xiao Yan was already very careful, but he was still discovered by this ferocious magical beast, and two eyes stared straight at Xiao Yan.

"But aren't you fine now? What was your performance when you first came to the Magical Beast Mountain Range? Don't you know yourself?" Yao Lao said playfully.

Thinking of what happened when he entered the Magical Beast Mountain Range, Xiao Yan's small face turned red. At that time, he was high-spirited and felt that he was invincible.

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to discover it! I thought you would know after another period of time!" Yao Lao said with a smile.

As the saying goes, chaotic punches kill the master. Although this lion was tall, it was only a first-order low-level magical beast after all, and it was not Xiao Yan's opponent at all. Under Xiao Yan's desperate full-force attack, it was soon written off. Finally, it was under Yao Lao's reminder that he knew this lion had been beaten to death by him long ago.

Because Xiao Yan was encountering a magical beast for the first time, seeing the magical beast so ferocious, he couldn't help but feel scared. In his previous life, he would stay far away when encountering a Tibetan Mastiff, fearing that the chain wouldn't be strong enough, and besides, there were many cases of broken chains hurting people. This lion was much more ferocious than a Tibetan Mastiff, and Xiao Yan's two ounces of meat were probably not enough for it to stuff its teeth.

"Yo! Not bad! Killed five magical beasts today, and this one is close to the second order." Yao Lao flew out from the ring on Xiao Yan's hand and said with satisfaction.

The rich bloody smell in the lion's mouth went directly into Xiao Yan's mouth and nose, and Xiao Yan felt nauseous. Xiao Yan was scared out of his wits, stood up immediately, and dodged this fatal blow. However, the lion's claws still scratched Xiao Yan's back, and a wave of pain came, and Xiao Yan couldn't help but gasp.

Reaching out to touch his back, he accidentally touched the wound, and Xiao Yan felt a wave of severe pain. His back was scratched with several large openings by the lion's sharp claws, and blood flowed constantly.

This matter had always been Xiao Yan's dark history, and he didn't know how many times he had been mocked by Yao Lao. But having said that, it wasn't just that he was scared at the time, who wasn't scared the first time, was it worth mentioning all the time?

"Hmph! Don't even mention it! Didn't you say my physical strength is comparable to a magical beast? But I feel it's just so-so, it doesn't seem to be of much use!" Xiao Yan pointed to the wound scratched by the magical beast on his back and questioned.

Xiao Yan hit for a long time, seeing that the black bear had no reaction, and knowing that it was really dead, he finally sat on the ground powerlessly, panting heavily.

Xiao Yan was also blushing with shame. After all, although he beat this first-order magical beast to death, he also suffered a lot of injuries, which was truly embarrassing.

Seeing that the attack was effective, Xiao Yan pursued the victory, or elbowed, or punched, every time he hit the black bear's body, it would make it lose a piece of meat.

"Right!"

Taking advantage of the time when this lion was eating, Xiao Yan slipped away quickly.

Thus, Xiao Yan fought with the giant bear while studying the dark force of the Eight Extremities Collapse.

Not only that, but in the injured part of the black bear, blood flowed out like money, looking very scary. After a while, the blood in the black bear's body flowed out cleanly. After losing blood, the black bear lost all its strength, and its body was sucked and flew backward toward Xiao Yan.

On the way to escape, Xiao Yan looked back. This look almost scared Xiao Yan to death. The lion didn't know when it had run behind Xiao Yan, opened its huge mouth, and prepared to bite Xiao Yan's neck. And Xiao Yan turned around and saw the lion's mouth directly.

Xiao Yan saw the lion's two copper-bell-like eyes staring at him, and he didn't dare to delay any longer, turning around and running. Seeing Xiao Yan running away, the lion couldn't care about eating anymore, roared, and chased Xiao Yan quickly.

But Xiao Yan was slapped in the face soon, because he accidentally ran into a lion. The lion was taller than Xiao Yan, covered with thick golden mane, and its eyes flashed with dangerous light, looking very ferocious. At that time, it was tearing at the corpse of a cow-like magical beast, tearing off pieces of meat, and then swallowing them in large gulps.

Xiao Yan slapped his thigh, thinking he was too stupid. Yao Lao had long told him the content related to the Eight Extremities Collapse dark force, but Xiao Yan never had the opportunity to study it, and now was the right time.

Seeing the black bear running away, Xiao Yan smiled slightly, crossed his hands, and a powerful suction force was generated in his palm. This suction force made the giant bear constantly slip on the ground, and no matter how hard its four giant bear paws tried, it couldn't advance in the slightest.

Facing Xiao Yan's fist, the black bear showed a look of disdain. The previous attacks only made it feel pain for a few times, and its thick-skinned body could make it fear no attack from Xiao Yan. However, this time it was wrong. The part attacked by Xiao Yan first hurt for a moment, then "bang," it suddenly exploded, as if a grenade exploded in its body, blowing its injured part into bloody mess, screaming constantly.

"Novels are harmful! They all say that the protagonist goes out for training, killing magical beasts is simpler than killing chickens, and they are not afraid at all! I just want to say that novels are all lies. With the ferocious appearance of magical beasts, who dares to go up and fight them!"

Seeing the blood on his hands, Xiao Yan's gaze gradually became fierce, overcoming the fear in his heart. After all, this was a life-and-death struggle, fear was useless, fear would only lead to death faster.

Although the lion was beaten to death, it was laughed at by Yao Lao for a long time. After all, Xiao Yan had boasted that he was very powerful, and two or three magical beasts were not a problem, but one magical beast almost turned Xiao Yan into feces.

After Xiao Yan studied the dark force of the Eight Extremities Collapse, he hit the black bear fiercely again.

Xiao Yan first used a Cloud-Parting Palm to repel the lion, and taking advantage of the lion's retreat, he instantly approached and used all the Dou Techniques he had learned.

"Can you make the body strength go a step further, can you really fight with magical beasts?" Xiao Yan asked embarrassedly.

In fact, Xiao Yan also knew that what Yao Lao said was a fact. With his current strength as a two-star Dou Zhe, if his body wasn't hard enough, he would have died after being scratched by a magical beast.
