Chapter 330: Miss, Young Master Has Gone to Yunlan Sect for His Three-Year Appointment.
With a Sixth-grade Fire Crystal Core, Xiao Yan could easily use the energy from the crystal core, which was comparable to an ordinary Dou Wang, to temporarily boost his Dou Qi level by several stars, until his body could no longer bear it. However, Xiao Yan didn't do that. On one hand, he couldn't achieve what Jiang Lin did, being physically invincible and handling the full load of the crystal core's Dou Qi. On the other hand, he didn't want to rely on his level to defeat Nalan Yanran.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"Hahaha! Nalan Yanran! Now you understand why I hurt your Feathershell Wings? Because the times have changed!" Xiao Yan laughed loudly while continuously forming the Xuan Heavy Cannon, shooting it towards the panicked Nalan Yanran, who was hiding on the ground, desperately trying to shield herself.
Looking at Nalan Yanran, who was desperately dodging and trying to stabilize the chaotic energy in her Feathershell Wings that had been disturbed by the power of the Eight Extremes Collapse, trying to recover her flying energy faster, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel a bit amused.
He used to think that he would hate this woman, but now, as he stood at this height, he realized that Nalan Yanran was actually a rare normal person. His own pride wasn't any less than hers. The only difference was that she was more straightforward, while Xiao Yan's pride was in his bones.
"Perhaps… if it weren't for that three-year low point, I might have been the next Nalan Yanran," Xiao Yan sighed inwardly, feeling as if he saw his former self in Nalan Yanran.
"I see now… the anger I felt for her back then was because I, too, am a proud person. And a proud person naturally cannot tolerate being humiliated in public." Xiao Yan understood Nalan Yanran's mentality now, but understanding didn't mean he wouldn't slap her face. After all, this woman had once shown him no respect.
But Xiao Yan's mentality had completely changed. Now, Nalan Yanran was just a stepping stone on his path to strength. Of course, if he still held the previous mentality, Xiao Yan would want to pay her back in kind. But now, all Xiao Yan wanted was an apology—a public apology to his father, Xiao Zhan.
As for Xiao Yan himself, he didn't care about the opinions of others, except when it came to preserving his father's face.
"If I had to say why I came for this three-year appointment, my answer might have been to prove my strength."
"But now, when I step on the steps of Yunlan Sect, I realize that I no longer need to prove anything. I'm here simply because you were unlucky enough to humiliate my father in public. That's it."
"If you were lucky enough to humiliate someone who could tolerate it, then this matter would have ended right there, and you would not have lost anything."
"But I'm sorry. You met me, a young man who refuses to tolerate it. I came here today to tell you: Thirty years of east river, thirty years of west river—don't bully the poor youth!"
With the support of the Fire Crystal Core, Xiao Yan could form the Xuan Heavy Cannon, a strike comparable to a full-force blow from a Great Dou Shi, in just one or two seconds. In contrast to his ease, Nalan Yanran, who was being bombarded on the ground, was in a sorry state. Although Nalan Yanran could have taken the light cannon head-on, she dared not touch the strange fire because of the power of the Qing Lotus Earth Core Fire. She could only desperately retreat.
"Well said! This is the kind of ambition a young person should have!"
"A youth should have aspirations as high as the skies! No regrets for the mountains or the future!"
"Good job! Hit him hard! Wait… what are you looking at me for?"
Xiao Yan's words sparked cheers and applause from the crowd around the square. Although this battle seemed strange, it was quite satisfying. The great sect's Holy Maiden was being suppressed on the ground by a common boy, bombarded with cannons. Just thinking about it made everyone feel their blood boil with excitement.
"The transformable Dou Qi weapon... although I expected this, it's still quite impressive to see it in action," Yuan Bao said, watching Xiao Yan continuously gathering and firing the Strange Fire Heavy Cannon.
Nearby, Hai Bodong, who was slightly confused, looked at the constantly dodging green-armored girl and asked, "Master Yuan, from this perspective, doesn't Nalan Yanran have no chance of winning? Does she plan to wait until Xiao Yan's Dou Qi runs out? That seems a bit unlikely, right? Xiao Yan's Dou Qi seems almost inhuman. The energy cannon he's firing is comparable to a Dou Shi's long-range attack and seems to never run out."
"The Fourth-Grade Feathershell Wings aren't that fragile. Xiao Yan didn't directly strike the Qinglan Wings, but it seems he's using some special hidden force to disturb the energy. Once Nalan Yanran repairs her wings, she will be able to fly again. However, she's still not familiar enough with the Feathershell Wings. If she were a Refiner, as long as you don't completely break the Feathershell Wings, they won't affect her flight," Yuan Bao shook his head, explaining why Nalan Yanran preferred to keep dodging rather than give up.
"Do you think the Nalan girl can win?" Hai Bodong nodded and asked.
"Ah, that weapon Xiao Yan has is a bit over the top," Yuan Bao said, looking at the Strange Fire Heavy Cannon continuously firing blue light columns. He couldn't help but shake his head.
"Is it because it can unleash even greater power?"
"No, they won't explode into that scale of battle. The output limit of that weapon is tied to the user's current state, and the strength of the weapon isn't just about its power. You'll see later, even under the same power limits, Xiao Yan's equipment is far ahead," Yuan Bao had to admit that Jiang Lin had really taken Dou Qi weapons to a new level.
"Miss, the young master has gone to Yunlan Sect for his three-year appointment to challenge his former fiancée," someone in the shadows was silently recording everything, preparing to report everything Xiao Yan did at Yunlan Sect to their young mistress. But... are you sure that phrasing won't cause trouble?
"Hahaha! Feels good!" Xiao Yan didn't expect that he would actually be able to go to Yunlan Sect to bombard Nalan Yanran—uh, not bombard, but attack her in front of so many people. However, his accuracy wasn't quite as "bugged" as Jiang Lin's, but he didn't mind, since his Dou Qi was ample.
Xiao Yan was immensely grateful that he had asked Jiang Lin to remove the restrictions on the Strange Fire Heavy Cannon. Thanks to the weapon spirit, Yao Chen, the optimization process was very easy. Xiao Yan simply asked if he could use the Strange Fire Heavy Cannon as a permanent technique, and Jiang Lin made adjustments to the cannon's output template.
Thus, the Strange Fire Heavy Cannon in Xiao Yan's hands had three forms:
Xuan Heavy Cannon: Permanent Dou Technique.
Small Fire Lotus Cannon: Purple Fire + Qing Lotus Earth Core Fire.
Buddha's Wrath Fire Lotus Cannon: Strange Fire Fusion!
