407. Heavenly Rank Combat Skill
At this moment, Xiao Yan's words attracted everyone's attention. After Qing Lin and Little Fairy Doctor took turns attacking, coupled with Xiao Yan's previous exchange with Lei Jingxiao, everyone could see that Lei Jingxiao possessed an extremely powerful fighting technique.
When fighting Xiao Yan, Lei Jingxiao wanted to forcefully use that move, but Jiang Yunyan interrupted him. Just now, he wanted to use it again, but was interrupted by Qing Lin's Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupil. Finally, when fighting Little Fairy Doctor, Lei Jingxiao was mindful of Little Fairy Doctor's health and did not actually use it.
However, at this moment, Xiao Yan directly proposed to take Lei Jingxiao's attack. The three women were worried about Xiao Yan's safety, but since he had made the proposal himself, none of them questioned his decision.
"No! If I suppress my battle aura to use that move, it will damage my very essence. Aunt Yan has already scolded me for that."
Xiao Yan smiled slightly and said, "No need for that. Just use your full strength, and I'll take your attack head-on!"
"You're insane!"
"If I accept one of your moves, I'll take your orders for a year!"
Lei Jingxiao's expression also changed at this moment, because he also realized that Xiao Yan seemed to be not joking, but was preparing to truly use the strength of a nine-star Dou Zong to take his Heaven-rank Dou Technique head-on!
"If you can really take this on, what's wrong with me not only following your arrangements, but also acknowledging you as my elder brother?" Lei Jingxiao said seriously.
Xiao Yan smiled slightly: "You've fought two rounds in a row, I'll give you time to recover properly."
They then headed straight into the cave. The three women exchanged glances, still worried about Xiao Yan's safety. In the end, Little Fairy Doctor followed Xiao Yan inside.
"Is it necessary to go to such lengths to suppress his temper?" Little Fairy Doctor asked immediately after catching up with Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan shook his head: "If it's just for Lei Jingxiao, of course it's not worth doing that, but there's something I need to test, so this is a good opportunity!"
What Xiao Yan was referring to was the Soul-Forging Technique he discovered in the ancient cauldron at the auction—Heavenly Thunder Spirit Forging!
This technique essentially uses the power of heavenly lightning to temper one's battle qi and soul power, but ordinary lightning has little effect on Xiao Yan's current level and soul. During his fight with Lei Jingxiao, his battle technique that summoned extraordinary phenomena of heaven and earth left a very deep impression on Xiao Yan. And just now, when Lei Jingxiao used it again against Qing Lin, Xiao Yan was certain: it was definitely a Heaven-rank battle technique that summons lightning!
Therefore, Xiao Yan needs to test whether the lightning energy summoned by Lei Jingxiao can become the source of power for his Heavenly Thunder Spirit Forging! If he can successfully forge it, then with Lei Jingxiao around, the most important part of Heavenly Thunder Spirit Forging can be said to be completely no problem!
"But facing a Heaven-rank combat skill is still far too dangerous, no matter how you look at it!"
Xiao Yan patiently explained to Little Fairy Doctor, "With you and Qing Lin here, there won't be much risk. Even if things really get out of control, I have ways to deal with it!"
Xiao Yan took out another clay puppet from his storage ring. This was Xiao Yan's biggest trump card that made him willing to accept Lei Jingxiao's Heaven-Rank Battle Technique!
Xiao Yan reconstituted his Three Thousand Thunder Illusionary Bodies, and then merged the clay puppet with them once more. An hour had passed quietly. When Xiao Yan emerged from the cave again, he saw that Lei Jingxiao had been waiting for him for a long time.
"How about we settle this with one move?" Xiao Yan knew that if Lei Jingxiao didn't suppress his fighting spirit, he wouldn't be able to win a real fight between them, so he had to make an agreement beforehand.
"If you really want to fight, once a Heaven-Rank Battle Technique is unleashed, I can't control its power at all right now, and I can't stop when you can't hold on any longer!"
"What, you don't want to acknowledge me as your older brother?"
Lei Jingxiao sneered, "I just don't want you to die by my hand!"
Without further ado, Xiao Yan flashed to a spot not far from the mountain range and simply sat down cross-legged. Lei Jingxiao, watching Xiao Yan, finally couldn't resist turning his head and seeing Qing Lin and Little Fairy Doctor staring in Xiao Yan's direction, also flashed into the sky.
"Xiao Yan, you asked for this!"
Lei Jingxiao roared, and the battle qi within his body began to surge rapidly, with violent lightning-attribute battle qi surging wildly.
At this moment, bolts of lightning also condensed and took shape under Lei Jingxiao's guidance. The energy of heaven and earth roared and moved, and the lightning twisted like dragons and surged forward. One after another, the lightning bolts flashing with electricity roared in like giant beasts.
At this moment, Lei Jingxiao stood tall amidst the raging lightning, like a god descending to earth. The battle qi he guided surged like rolling thunder, making the sky increasingly gloomy, as if the end of the world was approaching!
Although there is only a one-word difference between Heaven-rank and Earth-rank combat skills, they are worlds apart. Every Heaven-rank combat skill is capable of invoking the might of heaven and shaking the mortal realm.
Xiao Yan stared intently at Lei Jingxiao, his hands forming hand seals, ready to receive the attack. The creator of the Heavenly Thunder Forging Spirit Technique had already stated that this extraordinary skill was not suitable for those with weak wills. Ordinary lightning could not temper the soul and fighting spirit; any improvement required taking risks!
Xiao Yan was by no means a coward or hesitant person. Once he decided to cultivate, there was no reason for him to back down. He still had the Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Body, and he could withstand several direct hits from the Sound Valley's grand formation without injury. While Heaven-Rank Battle Techniques were indeed powerful, they wouldn't truly put his life in danger!
"In that case, let's go!"
Qing Lin and Little Fairy Doctor were both poised to act, ready to assist Xiao Yan should the situation change!
"Celestial-Rank Combat Technique, Mighty Thunderous Summons!"
After the thunderous power reached its peak, Lei Jingxiao gently guided his fingertips, and the seemingly tangible heavenly lightning bolts surged towards Xiao Yan like raging dragons and snakes. Amidst the deafening roar of thunder, Xiao Yan was completely engulfed and enveloped by the lightning, his entire body flashing with dazzling electric light.
Baptized by lightning, Xiao Yan felt as if his entire body was being torn apart, and low roars continuously erupted from his throat. His injuries were gradually healing, but the energy of the lightning was too violent, and the pain didn't even have time to subside.
Under such stimulation, Xiao Yan continuously guided the lightning into his body, trying to drive this terrifying but considerable energy! His Dou Qi continued to operate along the set route of the Heavenly Thunder Forging Spirit, and the lightning that was absorbed into his body was drawn into the route by a powerful attraction force.
After the lightning traveled through Xiao Yan's body, it also surged into his limbs, bones, and even the very essence of his soul. A tingling and slightly prickly sensation simultaneously assaulted Xiao Yan's consciousness...
