Fights Break Sphere: The Fire Rekindles

Chapter 29: Strange Fire Devouring Burning Decision
"Have you had enough fun? I really don't know where your luck comes from! I was almost burned to ashes by the strange fire, but you were born with the strange fire. It's really frustrating to compare yourself with others!" Seeing that Xiao Yan was having a lot of fun, Yao Lao couldn't help but tease him.

"Teacher, I have now entered the fighter stage. Isn't it time for you to give me the skills?" Xiao Yan said with a smile.

"What kind of martial arts?" A strange smile appeared on Yao Lao's lips.

"Of course it's the technique that surpasses the heavenly level!" Xiao Yan said anxiously.

“Haha, this technique can indeed surpass the Heaven Level, because it can evolve!” Yao Lao emphasized the word ‘evolution’.

"Then what are you waiting for? Give it to me right now!" Xiao Yan certainly knew what Yao Lao was talking about. Now that he possessed the Strange Fire, wouldn't he be stupid if he didn't practice the Burning Technique?

“Listen to me first. This kind of technique is extremely dangerous to practice, and it requires absorbing strange fire to evolve. Now that you also possess strange fire, you should know their power. Even if a Douhuang strongman accidentally touches it, it will be a big trouble.” Seeing Xiao Yan’s anxious face, Yao Lao said speechlessly.

"Strange Fire? I have a Strange Fire! It's like it was tailor-made for me. If I have a Strange Fire but don't practice it, wouldn't that be a waste of the opportunity God has given me?" Xiao Yan said with a big laugh.

"Well, this... But even if you have a strange fire, the success rate is only 30%. " Yao Lao was speechless. Although he also wanted Xiao Yan to practice the Burning Art, he knew very well how dangerous the Burning Art was. Even if Xiao Yan had a strange fire, the success rate would not be high.

"Thirty percent? That's enough! I thought it was ten percent! Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Xiao Yan really couldn't wait.

Yao Lao took a deep breath. He had prepared a lot of reasons to persuade Xiao Yan to practice the Burning Technique, because it was related to his resurrection. But now it seemed that Yao Lao's worries were unnecessary, and Xiao Yan didn't need any reasons at all.

Yao Lao naturally wanted Xiao Yan to practice the Burning Technique, but in the year he spent with Xiao Yan, Yao Lao also admired Xiao Yan more and more. With Xiao Yan's talent for cultivation and his strong character, he could become a strong man without relying on dangerous techniques like the Burning Technique, so he didn't want Xiao Yan to take this risk.

"Alas! Since you insist again and again, I will give it to you! This technique is called 'Burning Technique'. I got it accidentally. It had no name originally, but I gave it the name Burning Technique. In fact, I also want you to practice the Burning Technique. You have seen my current state. I am neither a human nor a ghost. In fact, I should have died long ago. Those dark days were too hard to endure. It was only because I accidentally saw that there was a method to resurrect people in the Burning Technique that I persisted until now." Yao Lao said with emotion.

"I am lucky to have met you, but I still give you two choices! This black scroll is the Burning Art. After practicing the Burning Art, you will be on a path of no return. However, this path is very dangerous. It is possible that you have paid for everything, but in the end you find that it was a dream. Moreover, the Burning Art is only a low-level yellow-grade technique in the early stage, so you have to think clearly. This red scroll is an earth-grade technique. Even the children of large families rarely have such treatment to practice earth-grade techniques in the early stage, and your achievements in the future will not be too low. So make your own choice! Whichever one you choose, I will train you wholeheartedly." Yao Lao stretched out his dry palms, shook his hands slightly, and two somewhat illusory scrolls, one black and one red, appeared in his palms respectively.

Xiao Yan stared at the black scroll with his eyes fixed on it. He had a very strong feeling in his heart, telling himself that he must get it. The strange fire in his lower abdomen suddenly started to riot, and a yin-yang pattern appeared in Xiao Yan's pupils.

Xiao Yan stretched out his right hand and quickly grabbed the black scroll. But just when Xiao Yan's hand touched the black scroll, something strange happened, and the black scroll suddenly disappeared.

Looking at his empty hands, Xiao Yan stood there in a daze as if he had been struck by lightning. "The Burning Art! It's gone! How can I become stronger without the Burning Art?" Xiao Yan collapsed to the ground.

“Is this what it means the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment? I worked hard for more than ten years, but in the end it was all just a dream!” Xiao Yan felt very devastated at this moment.

"Calm down! The Burning Technique will not disappear without a reason. First, calm down and check your body to see what happened?" Yao Lao suddenly shouted.

Hearing Yao Lao's roar, Xiao Yan finally came to his senses. He slapped his head and cursed himself for being stupid. He took a deep breath and calmed his mind. After his mind was completely calmed, Xiao Yan slowly closed his eyes and sank his mind into his lower abdomen.

The fire of the Yin-Yang flame, the Dou Qi cyclone, and the Dou Qi surrounding the cyclone all began to rotate. As the speed increased, a strand of Dou Qi separated from the cyclone and began to automatically circulate along a specific route in Xiao Yan's meridians. When these Dou Qi filled these routes, Xiao Yan felt that the energy of heaven and earth around his body suddenly increased, and was constantly refined into pure Dou Qi, entering the cyclone along a specific route.

As the speed of the fire and Dou Qi increased, the speed of refining Dou Qi also gradually increased. However, after reaching a certain level, the speed seemed to have reached its limit and could not be accelerated any further, so it began to rotate at a constant speed.

"What does this mean? I haven't even started practicing the Burning Art yet! How come the technique started to work on its own? Could it be that the strange fire devoured the Burning Art and was able to practice on its own? Isn't this just an idle game? Doesn't this mean I won't be able to actively practice in the future? What's the point!" Xiao Yan opened his eyes helplessly.

"Do you know what happened? And why do you feel that the energy of heaven and earth around you has suddenly increased?" Yao Lao asked with some confusion.

"Do you believe me if I tell you that my martial arts technique works on its own?" Xiao Yan scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

"What? Let me see!" Yao Lao was shocked. What a joke. He quickly grabbed Xiao Yan's arm and started to check. After checking, Yao Lao was dumbfounded.

“You are not the reincarnation of a Dou Di! Although the Burning Art can evolve, it is only at the low-level Huang level in the early stage. This is also one of the defects of the Burning Art. But now it is at least at the low-level Xuan level and can operate on its own. The Burning Art itself is one level higher than other skills, so it is not an exaggeration to say that it is at the high-level Xuan level now. Your luck is too good!” Yao Lao looked at the smiling Xiao Yan and felt uncomfortable in his heart. At this moment, he really wanted to beat Xiao Yan up to vent his grievances.

"Well! I'm going to practice fighting skills first!" Xiao Yan looked at Yao Lao's unfriendly eyes, and felt a chill in his heart. He sucked the iron chain on the cliff with his right hand, and the iron chain instantly appeared in his hand. Xiao Yan grabbed the iron chain and climbed up quickly. He was afraid that if he was a step slower, he would be beaten.

Looking at Xiao Yan who was fleeing quickly, Yao Lao shook his head helplessly. Although he was envious of his disciple's good luck, he was not jealous.

Xiao Yan reached the top of the mountain, took a deep breath, and looked up at the light blue sky. It was just beginning to get light. It was already late at night when the Qi Gathering Powder was refined, but Xiao Yan didn't feel sleepy at all at that time, and he was very energetic.
