ALL NOVEL Chapter 8.1: Octadic Smash
“Now that you have become my disciple, I should teach you something right away,” said Yao Chen, and Xiao Yan was slightly taken aback upon hearing that.
“Is it alchemy?”
“You’re thinking too much, kid,” Yao Chen shook her head slightly, “To be an alchemist, it would require the support of Dou Qi, and with your current level of Dou Qi, you probably can’t even light up the pill furnace.”
After saying that, Yao Chen floated in front of Xiao Yan and lightly tapped his forehead with her slender finger.
“I’ll teach you a Dou Technique now. This Dou Technique doesn’t require too much support from Dou Qi and is completely suitable for your current situation.”
In an instant, Xiao Yan felt something rush into his mind, and his pupil suddenly dilated.
A high-level Earth-grade Dou Technique: Octadic Smash!
It should be noted that the highest level of Dou Technique in the current Xiao clan is only a high-level Earth-grade Dou Technique!
Moreover, according to the description of the Dou Technique, if it is perfected, its power is comparable to a low-level Heaven-grade Dou Technique!
“Thank you, Senior Yao!” Xiao Yan said gratefully.
“Get up, get up, there’s no need for all those formalities,” Yao Chen raised her hand impatiently, and her eyes showed a hint of sadness, “Formalities are just formalities after all…”
Xiao Yan looked at the sad looking Yao Chen and furrowed his brows tightly.
This teacher of his seems to have a past that she doesn’t want to talk about…
Then, Xiao Yan focused his attention on the Octadic Smash Dou Technique again and murmured slowly.
“Eight layers of Dou Qi, eight layers of accumulation…”
At this point, Yao Chen also snapped out of her melancholy moment and reminded Xiao Yan.
“By the way, although this Dou Technique doesn’t require too much support from Dou Qi, it has extremely harsh requirements for the body, so don’t try to rush to learn it, if you aren’t careful, it can break your bod-”
Bang!!!
Yao Chen’s words were cut off abruptly as she stared dumbfoundedly at Xiao Yan, who had smashed a two-meter-long giant stone boulder into pieces, and she was stunned for a long time.
What the hell is this?
It’s not even a minute yet, and this kid is already using it?
Unnoticed by Xiao Yan, Yao Chen’s face was full of shock while looking at the remnant of the giant boulders.
“Just as Senior Yao said! The power of this Dou Technique is terrifying!”
Before he got this Dou Technique, Xiao Yan had to work hard to smash giant stones just like this one, but now he can easily shatter one in just a single blow!
Xiao Yan then turned to Yao Chen and thanked her again with clasped hands.
“Your disciple Xiao Yan, sincerely thanks Senior Yao for th-”
“Stop, stop, stop!!!”
Yao Chen interrupted Xiao Yan’s expression of gratitude, floating around him and occasionally touching his body with an extremely intense look in her eyes.
“You… clearly only have the strength of a 3 Star Dou Zhi (Battle Disciple, 1st Realm), but your physique is comparable to a Dou Shi (Battle Master, 3rd Realm)!”
Dou Qi can enhance a cultivator’s physical strength, this is something that everyone knows, however, although physical strength can also enhance Dou Qi, the effect is minimal.
Therefore, everyone is trying their best to study Dou Qi because the benefits of practicing Dou Qi are much greater than those of physical training.
However, physical training has an absolute advantage over practicing Dou Qi, and that is the foundation of a cultivator.
Using Dou Qi can indeed grant a cultivator a strong and tough physique, but conversely, when their Dou Qi is insufficient or even exhausted, their body will become extremely weak and vulnerable.
But cultivators who also do physical training have no such worries. The basic strength of the body is there, and even without Dou Qi, their strength will not decrease in the slightest.
“Before meeting senior Yao, Xiao Yan could make no progress in cultivating the Dou Qi in his body at all and could only focus on training his physique, that’s why my body has become as strong as this, It was because this is the last choice left for me if I want to become stronger-”
“Okay, okay! The more you talk about it, the more guilty I feel!”
Yao Chen quickly waved her hand, indicating that Xiao Yan should not continue.
