Chapter 157: Passing on the *Burning Mantra*! Combat honing

"Someone is fighting outside, we have to be quick."

"This cave won't last long."

After Xu Qi'an said this, he walked quickly to the stone table, looking at the three boxes locked by special metal before him, he waved lightly, and the layer on the boxes aged and decayed rapidly.

With a sweep of the scholar's fan in his hand, the dust scattered, and the things inside the three boxes were revealed.

An ancient scroll emitting seven-colored light, a black scroll, and an earthy yellow scroll.

The Little Doctor Fairy also leaned over at this time, looking at the three scrolls in the box with curiosity.

Xu Qi'an glanced at the Little Doctor Fairy, and seeing her restrained appearance, a smile couldn't help but appear on his face.

He grabbed the seven-colored ancient scroll, took a look, and muttered: "Seven-Colored Poison Scripture, I don't need it, I'll give it to you!"

Taking the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture, the Little Doctor Fairy flipped through it casually, a flash of brilliance appearing in her eyes.

This was exactly what she needed!

"Xuan-tier high-grade Dou Skill: Roaring Lion, this is useless to me too, I'll give it to you."

"Xuan-tier high-grade flying Dou Skill: Eagle Wings..." Xu Qi'an put it into his storage ring casually, "I'll keep this one."

He didn't practice Dou Qi, so accepting this Dou Skill was just to avoid pulling back and forth with the Little Doctor Fairy again.

"*Boom!! *"

The cave began to shake again, and seeing it was about to collapse, Xu Qi'an urged hurriedly: "Go, get out quickly!"

The Little Doctor Fairy didn't doubt him and turned to run toward the outside of the cave. When Xu Qi'an was leaving, his peripheral vision looked at the white skeleton beside him, he reached out and pulled, tearing off a piece of the skeleton's arm bone and stuffing it into his storage ring.

Afterward, he chased after the Little Doctor Fairy quickly.

After the two ran out of the cave, they saw a youth of fourteen or fifteen with a pair of fire-thunder wings on his back on the cliff to their left, fighting a purple flame lion seven or eight meters long in the air.

The youth gestured, vast Origin Power surging, sometimes turning into half a finger, sometimes with dragon roars.

Looking at the lion king opposite him, it was being beaten back steadily, being hammered against the cliff by the youth.

"Lin Dong!"

A look of confusion appeared on Xu Qi's face; how come he was here in the Magical Beast Mountain Range hammering the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King after not seeing him for a few days.

"Do you know that youth?" The Little Doctor Fairy looked at Xu Qi'an's surprised eyes and asked.

Xu Qi'an nodded, "He is a very good friend of mine; you stay here properly. I'll go help him!"

Seeing the Little Doctor Fairy nod, Xu Qi'an drove the bamboo dragonfly and flew toward the place where Lin Dong and the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King were fighting.

"*Roar!! *"

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King roared, "Human, you have successfully angered me!"

It roared, and the purple light on its body became even more intense.

"Purple Crystal Seal!!" As the purple light flickered, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's low roar also echoed throughout the entire Magical Beast Mountain Range.

In front of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, a huge deep purple light pillar suddenly appeared.

The moment the deep purple light pillar was about to seal toward Lin Dong, a snapping sound suddenly came out.

"*Snap! *"

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King and its purple crystal light pillar were actually frozen directly.

Xu Qi'an flew over relying on the bamboo dragonfly on his head, ignored the frozen Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, and asked curiously: "Lin Dong, aren't you with Xiao Yan in Wutan City?"

"How come you ran to the Magical Beast Mountain Range to hammer the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King after only a few days?"

The original Ye Ming could forcibly control all his clones, but the memories between clones would not be shared without his permission.

Lin Dong saw Xu Qi'an come over, but his gaze looked at the Little Doctor Fairy standing on the cliff in the distance.

A strange smile appeared on his face.

"I have already obtained the *Burning Mantra*, but it is not suitable for me. Xiao Yan's current enemies are not enough to support the plot for me to increase roleplay progress, so I came out first to hone my strength."

"As for his side, let him grow freely first. I have already buried the seeds, and I will go see him when needed."

After Lin Dong finished speaking, he looked at the Little Doctor Fairy again, frowned, and asked Xu Qi'an: "I say, didn't the original ask you to build a force and gather information?"

"You are here to pick up girls?"

"Daring to ignore the original's orders, do you want to be recycled?"

Several consecutive rhetorical questions were enough to show how ruthless the original Ye Ming was in Lin Dong's heart.

"*Cough, cough, cough! *"

Xu Qi'an coughed and whispered: "I am doing the task given by the original!"

"That is the Little Doctor Fairy, the Disaster Poison Body! Her growth speed is very fast, and she is also a rare talent!"

"Without a few talents under my command, how can I build a force?" Xu Qi'an laughed awkwardly: "After all, a single tree is hard to support."

Lin Dong shook his head, "Since you know it in your heart, I won't say much more."

He reached out and tossed a black scroll directly to Xu Qi'an, saying: "This is the imprinted version of the *Burning Mantra*, I'll give it to you."

"Your combat power still has limitations relying only on time power. The Dou Qi system is very suitable for you. With this thing, it's enough even if you rush to the Great Thousand World."

"Relying on your time power, practicing the *Burning Mantra* shouldn't be a problem."

Xu Qi'an held the black scroll in his hand, a look of joy appearing on his face, "Good brother, thank you!"

"However, practicing this thing, I have to go collect Strange Fires. It's not difficult to obtain the few in my memory. But Xiao Yan's path is not easy to walk; will it affect you?"

Lin Dong shook his head, "He is the darling of this world; even if you absorb all twenty-three Strange Fires on the Strange Fire Ranking, a twenty-fourth or twenty-fifth Strange Fire can emerge for him to absorb."

"Xiao Yan is much stronger than Tang San; just like this, it can't stop him."

Xu Qi'an nodded in agreement. "Alright, then I won't disturb your honing."

He drove the bamboo dragonfly and flew far away, then lifted the time freeze on the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.

"Purple Crystal Seal... *Ah!! *"

Before the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King could finish speaking, a sudden giant pain came out.

"Damned human, my horn!!"

Just as it was howling, Lin Dong's fist swung over again.

The Little Doctor Fairy watched Xu Qi'an fly over leisurely, and then looked at the sixth-rank magical beast being beaten in mid-air, her face full of surprise.

"What are you dazed for? Let's go back." Xu Qi'an walked to the Little Doctor Fairy, hugged her waist very naturally, and drove the bamboo dragonfly to fly upward. The Little Doctor Fairy was still immersed in that scene just now and hadn't buffered yet.

A youth of fourteen or fifteen was actually so powerful, and was still Young Master Xu's good brother...

"So we're just leaving like this? Not caring about your good brother?" The Little Doctor Fairy turned her head and looked, asking Xu Qi'an curiously.

"He is honing himself, so my intervention would make him uncomfortable instead."

Xu Qi'an drove the bamboo dragonfly while saying: "Let's find a hidden place first and see the treasures we obtained this time!"

"*Mm! *" The Little Doctor Fairy nodded lightly, "I know a place, let's go there!"

Under the Little Doctor Fairy's guidance, the two came to a basin with extremely abundant energy, where low-rank herbs grew everywhere.

This was discovered by the Little Doctor Fairy by accident when picking herbs before, covered by thick fog in the sky, and it was difficult for ordinary people to enter.

"It is indeed a good place." Xu Qi'an put the Little Doctor Fairy down very naturally and nodded.

The various herbs growing in the valley permeated with medicinal fragrance, mixed in the fog, giving people a feeling of refreshment.

"Shall we stay here for a while? I need to configure some herbs for the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture I just read, and it just so happens that there are..." The Little Doctor Fairy looked at Xu Qi'an, her face slightly red, her tone having a sense of discussion.

After seeing Xu Qi'an's mysterious methods many times over the past few days, the Little Doctor Fairy's curiosity about him grew stronger and stronger.

Now when doing things, she subconsciously wanted to ask for the other party's opinion.

"Of course." Xu Qi'an nodded; this place could be considered a good place, just right for him to refine the beast fire and study the *Burning Mantra*.

Seeing Xu Qi'an agree, the Little Doctor Fairy nodded with a smile, leading him to a corner of the valley, her delicate fingers pointing to a thatched shed there, smiling: "This is what I built before. We will live in it for this period of time."

"With you by my side, let alone a thatched shed, even if the sky is the quilt and the earth is the bed, and we roam the world from now on, I am willing." Looking at the thatched shed, Xu Qi'an looked at the Little Doctor Fairy and teased.

The Little Doctor Fairy's little face turned red instantly, and even the tips of her ears became crimson.

She lowered her head, kicked a stone below with her little feet, and muttered: "After I completely master the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture this time, I will accompany you to the Central Plains to do your things, okay."

Xu Qi'an lowered his head and took her little hand, "Thank you, Little Doctor Fairy."

Looking at Xu Qi'an's pair of eyes, the Little Doctor Fairy was suddenly a bit flustered. She didn't answer, broke free from the big hand, ran toward the distance, her face full of shyness: "I'll go pick herbs first."

Xu Qi'an watched the Little Doctor Fairy run away, smiled, found a thatched hut, took out the *Burning Mantra*, and studied it carefully.

"Need to reach the Dou Zhe level to learn cultivation techniques and convert the Dou Qi in the body..."

Murmuring a sentence, Xu Qi'an released his suppression and absorbed the Dou Qi drifting between heaven and earth crazily.

He kept using time power, accelerating, decelerating, and driving it repeatedly, and the Dou Qi in his body began to grow rapidly, and his control over time power also became more and more proficient.

Elsewhere, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King had been beaten by Lin Dong until it had no temper left.

The aura on its body became very withered, and it begged the youth before it weakly: "Human, I have purple spirit crystals, and there is associated purple crystal source in the cave dwelling, all for you!"

"Let me go..."

Lin Dong frowned, "You are a sixth-rank magical beast, how can you be so unable to fight!"

"I haven't even warmed up yet!"

"Put those things aside first, hurry up and recover, let's continue fighting!"

He wasn't lying; with this battle against the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, he touched the edge of the Great Desolate Imprisoning Heaven Finger, able to drive "Half-finger shakes the heavens" at will.

He was about to master "One finger imprisons the heavens," but this Purple Crystal Winged Lion King wilted first.

Even his Green Heaven Transforming Dragon Art and the Devouring Ancestral Symbol hadn't been forced out.

Now he was in high spirits, and his progress in mastering his own abilities was becoming more and more rapid, so how could he let this sixth-rank magical beast go so easily.

"*Ouch*, little ancestor!"

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King howled, rolled its big eyeballs, and whispered to Lin Dong: "Little ancestor, how about this, you don't look down on my strength, I'll take you deeper into the Magical Beast Mountain Range."

"I know there is a seventh-rank elderly Ancient War Bear King there, just right to be your opponent!"

Lin Dong patted its head, "Magical beasts of the same level are originally much stronger than humans."

"You aren't trying to take me to die, are you?"

The lifespan of magical beasts is different from humans; that old Bear King's combat power is probably even higher! The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King wailed: "It's really not, that Ancient War Bear King, ever since coming to this Magical Beast Mountain Range, fought a great battle with another seventh-rank magical beast, barely killing the other party, but also suffered not small injuries itself."

"It was already elderly, plus the injuries, I estimate its strength is about the same as a Soul Douluo."

"Just right for you, little ancestor, to hone yourself!"

It was now determined to shake Lin Dong off. After all, if the other party continued to fight, it probably wouldn't even have the chance to go back and see its children.

Who would have thought that Lin Dong would jump onto the back of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King directly, "You take me to find that Ancient War Bear King; if I find out you lied to me, I'll kill you first!"

Lin Dong also understood that even if the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King recovered its state and fought him again, it couldn't force out his true strength.

Wanting to master his own soaring strength as soon as possible, only in such a life-and-death crisis could it be the fastest method.

"*Ah? * I take you?"

"*Bang! *"

Lin Dong slapped the top of its head, "Hurry up!"

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King hung its head instantly, carrying Lin Dong toward the depths of the Magical Beast Mountain Range very reluctantly.

On this journey, just the pressure released from the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King made the magical beasts along the way not dare to move.

In just a few cups of tea time, the man and the lion arrived at the center of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, on a mountain peak spewing flames.

"Little ancestor, that great person is below; if I go down again, I will definitely be liquidated." The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King begged: "I have old ones above and young ones below, little ancestor, just let me go!"

Lin Dong had already sensed the terrifying aura hidden in the volcano below, narrowed his eyes, and the Origin Power in his body also mobilized on its own.

Getting up from the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, he forced his aura toward the volcano below.

Such naked provocation immediately caused a counterattack from below.

"Disturbing this King's slumber, human, you deserve to die!"

A strong man, two meters tall, wearing black clothes and covered in vigorous muscles, rushed out of the volcano, his pitch-black eyes locked on Lin Dong, emitting a terrifying aura.

On his chest, there were seven silver hairs, exceptionally dazzling.

"Soul Douluo peak!"

Lin Dong sensed the aura on the other party and glared fiercely at the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.

This was no elderly Ancient War Bear; this was a transformed magical beast about to touch the Soul King level!

"Human, eat my punch!"

After the Ancient War Bear King was awakened, it rushed toward Lin Dong, swinging its fists directly. Wherever its iron fists passed, the space vibrated, and the vast Dou Qi condensed into a giant flame fist, killing with rolling flames.

(End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 158 =====

This was no aged ancient war bear; this was a shapeshifting magical beast on the verge of touching the Dou Zun level!

"Human, take my punch!"

After being startled awake, the Ancient War Bear King swung his fist directly at Lin Dong. Wherever his iron fists passed, the space vibrated, and the vast Dou Qi condensed into a massive flame fist, sweeping forward with rolling fire to kill.
