Bab 7: Chapter 7: The Fallen Genius

Chapter 7: The Fallen Genius

Two hours later, Xiao Se successfully transformed the attributeless milky white Dou Qi in his body into Dou Qi unique to the Burning Decision.

He stretched out his white palm, and the Dou Qi in his body circulated. The Dou Qi in the cyclone was transmitted along the acupuncture points on Xiao Se's arm to the palm of his hand. A light yellow light gradually appeared on his white palm.

Xiao Se smiled bitterly, his Burning Technique was only at the lower yellow level. When the Dou Practitioner looked inside, he could see that the attributeless milky white Dou Qi in his body had completely transformed into light yellow Dou Qi.

"The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard." Xiao Se couldn't help but sigh.

After putting away the blurred black scroll, Xiao Se took out the three scrolls.

The first red scroll:

Sword fighting skills, Red Flame Sword. Breaking the limit, grade: Advanced Xuan level.

The fire control technique condenses into a flaming long sword, and the number of swords used depends on the strength of the user. When the skill is highly refined, it can be simplified and merged into a giant sword, which is as powerful as the low-level earth-level fighting skills. If used with strange fire, the power is comparable to that of the middle-level earth level.

The second white scroll:

body movement fighting skills, Misty Smoke Steps, grade: advanced Xuan level.

The steps are like light smoke, making it hard to tell whether they are real or fake. There are two levels. The first level focuses on evasion, and the second level focuses on speed. The former can avoid danger in advance, while the latter can greatly increase the speed of the user. The combination of the two can make it possible to step on the snow without leaving any traces or getting wet in the heavy snow.

The third black scroll:

secret fighting skill, Qi Gathering Technique, grade: unknown.

It can directly hide the cultivation of a level, and at the highest level, it can completely hide the cultivation, making it difficult for people to distinguish the real thing. Unless you encounter a practitioner of the Qi Condensation Technique, otherwise, people below the Dou Zong level cannot see through it.

Looking at these three volumes of fighting skills, a bright smile appeared on Xiao Se's pretty and tender little face.

These three fighting skills books came at the perfect time.

It made up for all the attacking and light fighting skills he lacked.

Especially the last secret fighting skill. He was originally worried that he would not be able to hide his strength after breaking through to the Dou Practitioner level. After all, there is a huge difference between Dou Qi in Dou Disciple and Dou Qi in Dou Practitioner.

Now everything is solved.

Having made up his mind, Xiao Se began to enter into intensive training.

The next morning, the sun was shining brightly with no clouds in the sky.

Inside the stone chamber of the cave, Xiao Se sat cross-legged on a cushion.

The warm sunlight shines through the vents at the top of the stone chamber and shines onto Xiao Se's fair and tender cheeks.

Xiao Se slowly opened his eyes, "My cultivation has been completely consolidated. Next, I can go collect the herbs in Podocarpus's memory and try to refine some hemostatic powder and recovery pills."

Both Hemostatic Powder and Recovery Pill are first-grade medicinal pills, and both have certain healing effects.

The former was prepared by Podocarpus himself. It was viscous and could quickly stop bleeding from wounds. Its effect might not be as good as the blood-clotting powder prepared by the eighth-grade top alchemist in the original novel, but it was not bad.

The latter is an ancient recipe passed down by Master Podocarpus. It is in the form of a pill and can be taken internally to treat internal injuries, or crushed and applied externally to accelerate wound recovery.

Having made up his mind, Xiao Se walked directly out of the cave and headed towards the Xiao family. Before that, he still needed to see Xiao Yu off. Canaan's enrollment ended yesterday, and as expected, Xiao Yu had been admitted.

It is reasonable and logical for Xiao Se to go and see him off today.

Using the Misty Smoke Step, Xiao Se moved very fast and quickly rushed towards the direction of the Xiao family. Although Xiao Se had only cultivated the first level of dodge, it was enough to allow Xiao Se to walk on the winding and rugged mountain road as if it were flat ground.

After returning to the Xiao family, Xiao Se returned to his previous low-key self.

Walking on the bluestone path, Xiao Se heard several young people from the Xiao family in the next courtyard chattering, as if they were talking about something.

The names of Xiao Yu and Xiao Yan could be vaguely heard.

Xiao Se couldn't help but slow down his pace and stretched his ears to listen:

"Hey, have you heard? Canaan College came to Wutan City to recruit students yesterday, and cousin Xiao Yu passed the assessment and officially became a student of Canaan College."

"Wow, cousin Xiao Yu is indeed the second most talented person in the family after Xiao Yan. She broke through the eighth level of Dou Qi at the age of fifteen and was admitted to Canaan College. Canaan College is a famous school in the Dou Qi Continent. It is said that its strength is even stronger than that of the Jia Ma Empire's royal family and the Yun Lan Sect."

"Yes, cousin Xiao Yu is also a well-deserved genius of the Xiao family. But speaking of which, didn't Xiao Yan also participate in the enrollment of Canaan College? Why haven't I heard the news of his admission?"

"Hey, you don't know, yesterday morning I saw Xiao Yan hurriedly run to see the clan leader. Even when I accidentally bumped into him, he was rarely angry. Not long after, the clan leader announced within the clan that Xiao Yan was not allowed to go to Canaan College because he was still young."

"How could this happen? Didn't the clan leader praise Xiao Yan at the clan test ceremony a few days ago: 'My son Xiao Yan has the potential to become a Dou Huang, and he will be able to pass the assessment of Canaan College'?"

Listening to the conversation between the few people gradually fading away, a strange arc appeared in Xiao Se's mouth. As expected, Xiao Yan's Dou Qi "disappeared", which means that Yao Lao has awakened.

Xiao Yan, ah Xiao Yan. I am looking forward to what your life will be like in the next three years. Xiao Yan's residence.

"Why, why did the Dou Qi in my body disappear?" Xiao Yan roared in his heart in the room.

Overnight, his cultivation dropped from the one-star Dou Practitioner to the ninth stage of Dou Disciple. After only two days, it dropped again to the eighth stage of Dou Disciple.

This was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Xiao Yan, and it was also a shame that was difficult to wash away.

I haven't eaten or drunk anything for two days and I haven't slept or rested.

At this moment, his body was already in an extremely weak state, but it no longer mattered.

His spirit was in great torment. One could easily imagine how embarrassing it would be when others found out that his cultivation had regressed.

He seemed to see everyone laughing at him, insulting him, and mocking him. Even the girls who used to fawn over him and revolve around him gradually distanced themselves from him, thinking that he was unworthy of the title of the Xiao family's greatest genius in a hundred years.

"I can't accept it. Why... Why is the Dou Qi in my body getting less and less? Why does every bit of Dou Qi I absorb disappear in my body for no reason?"

He bit his lower lip and let the blood flow out, but he didn't even notice it.

Xiao Yan's extreme unwillingness caused him to fall into an almost pathological state of cultivation. However, no matter how much Dou Qi he absorbed, it would disappear without a trace before he could refine it.
