Chapter 44: Mysterious Clan Mark

"What are you looking at with the mirror?" Yao Lao felt somewhat speechless when he saw Xiao Yan looking around with the mirror.

"Looking for the mark you mentioned!" Xiao Yan said as a matter of course.

"You haven't triggered the mark, how can you see it?" Yao Lao couldn't help but laugh.

"Uh... how to trigger it?" Xiao Yan scratched his head and asked with a blank face.

"Cough... this is the method to trigger the mark." Yao Lao felt somewhat embarrassed and pointed his right finger lightly at Xiao Yan's forehead.

Xiao Yan followed the method given by Yao Lao and triggered the mark, finding that there were two more flame marks on his forehead, one black and one white, and the two flame marks were intertwined.

"Bang!" The flame hit Xiao Yan's body fiercely, causing a huge hole to be burned in the clothes on Xiao Yan's chest, and his chest was also burned red.

"It seems to be really fine!" Xiao Yan listened to Yao Lao's words, closed the clan mark, and then felt his body again, finding that there was no discomfort.

The youth kept looking around, paying attention to every move around him.

"Uh... but I feel like I can keep it open!" Xiao Yan spread his hands and said helplessly.

Yao Lao felt somewhat speechless when he saw Xiao Yan playing there, and his face turned blue with anger, and he gave him another chestnut.

Suddenly, a sound of breaking wind came from all around, and magical beasts kept rushing out from every corner of the forest. The powerful aura emanating from them seemed to draw invisible ripples in the air. Now a total of three magical beasts appeared, namely a flame dog, a rock-armored giant elephant, and a gray wolf. They besieged Xiao Yan in unison, and their sharp eyes and sharp claws showed their danger.

"Moo!"

"Hmm! My goal for you is to be able to defeat the siege of ten first-order magical beasts without taking off the black giant sword, and that's without using the kite-flying tactic."

In a dense forest, a youth was carrying a huge black sword. He was wearing a black shirt, and his eyebrows were full of firmness and decisiveness. Behind him, the black giant sword was as steady as a mountain, emitting a faint cold light.

Xiao Yan naturally knew why Yao Lao was angry. At the beginning, it was because Yao Lao's talent bloodline was too thin, so he couldn't open the clan mark, which also made his childhood very miserable.

"Hehe, who told you it was a joke? Try it tomorrow and you'll know!" Yao Lao seemed to be looking forward to Xiao Yan's performance.

Xiao Yan didn't take off the black giant sword. He wanted to try the feeling of close-quarters combat directly. A real man should be like this.

"Damn! This dog can actually attack from a distance? Fortunately, the flame temperature is not very high, otherwise, wouldn't it be skin-torn? However, the body defense has indeed increased a lot, and there is no blood. Since that's the case, I'll play with you properly!" Xiao Yan said with surprise.

"Why are you still hitting me!" Xiao Yan covered his head, howling in pain.

"Stinky boy, you are still not satisfied with improving one star! And this is not the end, it will improve in the future." Xiao Yan's words made Yao Lao speechless instantly.

"Then you should close the clan mark first! See if there is any discomfort in your body!" Yao Lao shook his head helplessly. If the clan mark could be kept open, it would be too weird.

"I'll find a few more powerful magical beasts for you tomorrow, let you show off in front of me." Yao Lao thought to himself.

"I am a three-star Dou Zhe now? But only improving one star of strength is a bit weak!" Xiao Yan felt the changes in his body and then opened his mouth.

Xiao Yan sat on the ground cross-legged, feeling the changes inside his body again, and found that the speed of Dou Qi running in his body had accelerated a lot, and his meridians had become much tougher and thicker.

A huge rock-armored giant elephant, its skin covered with hard rock armor, and two huge tusks emitting metallic luster.

Just when Xiao Yan was distracted, a flame dog opened its big mouth and sprayed a scorching flame at Xiao Yan.

Hearing Xiao Yan's somewhat pretentious words, Yao Lao gave Xiao Yan a chestnut directly.

Yao Lao felt that he had received ten thousand points of critical damage, his mentality collapsed instantly, but he still said somewhat unwillingly: "Then try again to see if you can open it?"

Xiao Yan found that the flame mark on his forehead was quite good-looking, so he opened and closed it for a while, playing with it happily.

The rock-armored giant elephant waved its strong and powerful tusks, making a deafening roar. It covered its whole body with hard, rock-like skin, which seemed to be unbreakable by any attack.

"After being tempered by the Exotic Fire for so long, the benefits you got are more than just opening the mark, right?" Yao Lao hit Xiao Yan, his anger almost gone, looking at Xiao Yan and saying.

Xiao Yan felt the changes in his body and found that his strength seemed to have increased a lot, and the injuries on his body seemed to be all healed. The surface of his skin was smooth, and his defense was clearly enhanced.

Xiao Yan scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly. He also felt that he was too greedy.

"How is this possible? This kind of mark is called a clan mark. Clan marks are a sign of bloodline inheritance in some ancient families. Generally speaking, the stronger the bloodline, the higher the level of the clan mark, and the more strength it can improve. But no matter how it improves, it is only temporary, and it will fall into a weak state after use, so the clan mark is generally only used as a life-saving means..." Yao Lao said with surprise.

"Sigh! Carrying this giant sword has a great suppression on strength! If there wasn't one, this blow of the magic wolf could be perfectly dodged." Xiao Yan sighed in his heart.

Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes and said happily: "I feel that my strength has improved a lot! Now let me face the siege of five magical beasts alone, and I will definitely not be as embarrassed as before."

First was a violent magic wolf. It roared and pounced on Xiao Yan with its bloody mouth. Xiao Yan hurriedly dodged, but was still grabbed by the corner of his clothes, and a big hole was torn in his clothes.

As the mark was triggered, Xiao Yan's momentum became stronger and stronger. Until all the marks were triggered, Xiao Yan opened his eyes suddenly, and the black and white light flickered in his pupils.

"Ah! Teacher, aren't you joking? Although my strength has improved a lot, it's good enough to face the siege of three magical beasts now. Ten? Are you afraid that I won't die fast enough!"

Xiao Yan listened to Yao Lao's words and sensibly triggered the clan mark again. Suddenly, the black and white flame mark on his forehead appeared again, and then it lit up, and Xiao Yan's strength reached three stars again.

"Why do I feel like I can keep this mark open all the time?" Xiao Yan found that after opening the mark on his forehead, his strength improved, but he didn't feel any discomfort in his body.

Xiao Yan took a deep breath, and his whole body's muscles tightened. He moved his steps quickly, rushing toward the roar of the rock-armored giant elephant. He grabbed the two tusks of the rock-armored giant elephant with both hands, and a powerful force erupted from Xiao Yan's body, throwing it to the ground with force.

After the rock-armored giant elephant was thrown to the ground by Xiao Yan, it kept struggling, wanting to stand up. However, because the rock-armored giant elephant was too heavy, it couldn't stand up at all.
