As the Ancient Dragon's Roar resounded, the void shattered, waterfalls flowed backward, and mountain ranges collapsed.

The dragon's roar lasted a full thirty seconds. If not for Xiao Yan's strong Spiritual Strength, merely this spiritual memory of the Ancient Dragon's Roar would have been enough to injure him.

Even though the scene was only imprinted with Spiritual Strength on the scroll, its power remained formidable.

Qi Method and Dou Technique scrolls often contained such scenes to facilitate learning. However, the number of times one could observe them was limited. The scene would disappear once the Spiritual Strength within the scroll was exhausted.

Xiao Yan exhaled deeply and slowly withdrew from the vision, his expression filled with puzzlement. Although he had already grasped the Dou Qi circulation route of the Ancient Dragon Roar, he always felt something was missing. His thoughts raced like lightning, yet he still couldn't find what he needed.

He felt disheartened. Whether it was the Asura Soul Reaping Technique or the Ancient Dragon Roar, he couldn't grasp the essentials at all.

In contrast, his cultivation of the Three Thousand Lightning Movement was progressing very smoothly. Each Dou Technique scroll of the Three Thousand Lightning Movement contained a trace of wind and lightning power sealed by the Pavilion Master, and only by absorbing and assimilating this trace could one truly master the Three Thousand Lightning Movement.

With his body strengthened by the Ten Thousand Beast Flame, the process of tempering his body with wind and lightning felt somewhat like undergoing cupping therapy: slightly painful yet invigorating.

The power of lightning could shock the soul, but his soul was exceedingly powerful and withstood it perfectly.

Now, so long as he practiced diligently each day, achieving entry-level mastery of the Three Thousand Lightning Movement wouldn't be difficult.

"Let's continue. You won't know how good your voice is if you don't shout," Xiao Yan murmured as he rubbed his throat. Feeling that his throat had recovered significantly, he slowly stood up and resumed shouting.

After about ten minutes of shouting, a little girl dressed in white suddenly emerged from the depths of the forest.

"Uh? Little sister, are you lost?" Xiao Yan looked puzzled. This was deep in the mountains with magical beasts roaming about. How could there be a little girl who appeared to be only eleven or twelve years old?

The moment the little girl saw Xiao Yan, her eyes grew gloomy and a hint of cold killing intent appeared. She roared angrily, "What the hell are you howling for?!!!"

Boom!!

A terrifying sound wave instantly spread out with the little girl at its center. The rumbling sound of collapsing trees echoed all around. Xiao Yan's expression changed dramatically as he hurriedly covered his ears, enveloping himself with Spiritual Strength.

The angry roar continued for over ten seconds before finally stopping. Xiao Yan stared

dumbfounded at the girl before him, utterly astonished.

'What kind of little girl is this? How can her roar be so terrifying? And... a Dou King???' Xiao Yan was flabbergasted, his eyes wide open.

A twelve-year-old Dou King? Are you kidding me?

He rubbed his eyes and pinched his cheek, confirming he wasn't hallucinating or dreaming.

Surveying his surroundings, he noticed that the dense forest had become bare. All the surrounding trees had been shattered into splinters by the sound infused with Dou King-level Dou Qi, and large sections of the ground had been torn up.

"Um... little sister, you- "

Before Xiao Yan could finish, the little girl in white suddenly glared at him. Despite her cute appearance, the eerie aura and formidable strength she exuded made Xiao Yan tense up.

The little girl stomped on the ground with a thunderous BANG. Cracks instantly appeared as rubble flew. She transformed into a white shadow and appeared before Xiao Yan in an instant, her small, delicate fist smashing straight toward his face.

'What incredible speed!'

Xiao Yan's heart trembled. He dared not underestimate this mysterious girl. In an instant, he activated the Mad Lion Chant, and a layer of Blood Fury shielded his entire body. Now that he was a Dou Spirit, he no longer needed to use Dou Qi Armor; he directly condensed his Dou Qi into a layer of Blood Fury shield.

Seeing Xiao Yan employ a Dou Technique to defend, the corners of the little girl's mouth curled upward as she sneered coldly. Her small pink fist smashed down, actually penetrating Xiao Yan's defense!

At the critical moment, Xiao Yan crossed his arms to block. That little fist, only half the size of his own, collided with his blocking arms, and an enormous force that made him question his life choices surged through him.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!!

Xiao Yan was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing through countless trees before finally coming to a stop.

The little girl in white then waved her small fist. A cute smile resurfaced on her face as she coldly snorted, "What's with all that wailing? You're disturbing this young lady's sleep. Consider that punch your punishment."

"That won't do."

Xiao Yan's voice came from afar. In the next second, a blazing flame appeared. With a bang that rang out as he activated the Exploding Steps, and with the acceleration provided by his Eagle Wings, he burst forth with a speed not inferior to the little girl's and instantly appeared before her.

"How was I supposed to know you were sleeping? There's no reason for me to take the blame." Xiao Yan had never been one to show mercy to women; he only respected the strong, and this little girl before him was undoubtedly a top-tier expert.

Facing Xiao Yan's punch, the little girl not only showed no fear but grinned instead. Her eyes revealed a hint of battle intent as she raised her hand.

Their fists collided with a tremendous 'bang.' Xiao Yan's heart sank. This punch felt as if he had hit solid ground. He could feel his knuckles and finger bones cracking!

'Octane Blast! Hidden Force Erupt!'

Eight muffled explosions sounded. The little girl's brows furrowed as she took two steps back and waved her hand, directly dissolving the hidden force of the Octane Blast! "Interesting, your Dou Technique is quite something." The little girl revealed an innocent

smile.

Xiao Yan stood in place, eyeing the eleven- or twelve-year-old Dou King. His eyes narrowed as he murmured to himself, "She isn't using any Dou Techniques; she's relying solely on her incredibly powerful body! What kind of monster is this!"

He felt numb-not just his hands, but his entire being felt numb. A twelve-year-old Dou King was unbelievable enough, yet this was the first time he had met someone whose physical strength surpassed his own!

Even without using the Ten Thousand Beast Flame to strengthen himself, his physical

strength was equivalent to that of a Rank 4 magical beast. But this time, even though he had used the Octane Blast, his opponent merely took two steps back while his own hand bones

were fractured.

"Hey, can you still fight?" The little girl waved her fist at Xiao Yan and asked. She could naturally sense that he was injured.

When she had sent him flying earlier, she had controlled her strength to avoid injuring him, yet when Xiao Yan counterattacked, he ended up breaking his own bones.

Xiao Yan was momentarily stunned. The last time he had fought seriously seemed to be against Nalan Yanran. Since entering the Inner Academy, he hadn't encountered anyone whose talent surpassed hers. Even with that Yao Sheng, Xiao Yan estimated that Nalan Yanran could defeat him instantly once she reached the 7-star Dou Spirit stage.

But this little girl before him-Xiao Yan was one hundred percent certain that even if Nalan Yanran reached the Dou King realm, she wouldn't be a match for her.

Apart from Xun Er, this was the first person Xiao Yan believed had combat strength surpassing

Nalan Yanran.

"You're underestimating me too much."

A small white carp appeared with a buzz. The Life Flame spat out a ball of fire that enveloped his fist, and within a few seconds, his fractured bones had actually healed.

The little girl in white blinked as she curiously looked at the little white fish and laughed,

"Wow, you have quite a few novel and interesting things."

Xiao Yan smiled, "Not many, but enough to defeat you."

His eyes narrowed as he spoke, and it was evident he was itching for a fight. Actual combat was, after all, the best way to cultivate Dou Techniques. This was a principle he had always

upheld.

"With just your Dou Spirit strength? Forget it, I don't want to injure you and have those old geezers nagging at me." The little girl waved her hand, not particularly interested in fighting.

How could Xiao Yan let go of such a great 'training opportunity'? Black flames and red flames slowly surged from his body.

In his heart, he shouted, 'Skyfire Three Mysterious Change-Black Flame Change!'

'Ten Thousand Beast Flame-Beast Transformation!'

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!

Xiao Yan's body was enveloped in black flames as his Dou Qi instantly soared to the peak of

Dou Spirit, even reaching the half-step Dou King stage.

And that wasn't all. He fused the Ten Thousand Beast Flame into his flesh and blood,

elevating his physical strength another level to match that of a Rank 5 magical beast.

"Don't worry, I'll go easy on you."

Hearing Xiao Yan's provocative words, a hint of battle intent lit in the little girl's eyes. It had been a long time since she had met an opponent with whom she could have a good fight. Energy surged as a gentle breeze rustled the leaves. The little girl in white moved like a true dragon emerging from the sea. In that instant, she stepped forward, her speed several times faster than before; with one move, she shook the ground and space followed in her wake. With a single punch striking downward, the world seemed to flip upside down. This little girl didn't use any fancy Dou Techniques when she attacked, nor did she have any powerful movement techniques. It was just a very simple straight punch.

Yet this simple straight punch generated a howling wind that rang in Xiao Yan's ears.

The most direct punch, yet it possessed absolute power-strong, domineering, destructive-

a single punch designed to defeat the enemy.

'Good!' Facing such a punch, Xiao Yan couldn't help but praise inwardly. Equally straightforward, he

once again met fist with fist. He didn't use any Dou Techniques or movement techniques either; he simply threw an ordinary punch.

True mastery appears effortless; simplicity hides brilliance.

Their fists collided with a loud clang and actually produced sparks upon impact. The bodies of

these two had been tempered to the point of being even harder than steel. The sound was as

ear-piercing as a volcanic eruption.

Bang! Bang! Bang!!

This time, not only did Xiao Yan unleash the Skyfire Three Mysterious Change to boost his

strength, but he also employed the Ten Thousand Beast Flame. Beneath the seemingly simple

punch lay unimaginable power. Even an ordinary Rank 5 magical beast might be sent flying by such a strike.

However, neither could overpower the other in this exchange of fists. They continuously exerted force, their terrifying strength generating shockwaves that spread from their fists and uprooted the surrounding grass.

"Ha!" The little girl let out a shout as she took a step forward, and Xiao Yan's eyes widened in surprise as he was forced to retreat repeatedly by her immense strength! Even after strengthening himself with the Ten Thousand Beast Flame, his physique still wasn't as strong as the little girl's. This greatly astonished him; it was the first time he had encountered someone so terrifying.

He couldn't help but draw a sharp breath. He had cultivated step by step, beginning with the

entry-level techniques of the Octane Blast and tempering his body from the age of four. His foundation was extremely solid.

In terms of physical confrontations, he had never feared anyone. But today, not only had he failed to shake this little girl, she actually pushed him back.

However, he wasn't discouraged. While he excelled in close combat, it wasn't solely due to his

physical strength. Although he had lost in physical strength, he still had powerful Dou Techniques at his disposal.

'Octane Blast-Ten Thousand Beast Collapsing Fist!'
