The pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth, transforming into a surge of pure, powerful energy that rushed down his throat and into Xiao Lei's meridians.
Xiao Lei's hands moved, forming cultivation hand seals, and he activated his Dou Qi technique, Thunderclap Technique, focusing all his efforts on refining and absorbing the vast and pure energy.
As Xiao Lei refined and absorbed the energy, the total amount of Dou Qi within his body continuously increased.
His cultivation level also quickly improved, breaking through from a one-star Dou Shi to a two-star Dou Shi.
And his improvement continued...
When the last wisp of pure energy was completely refined and absorbed, Xiao Lei's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, a flash of brilliance appearing in them!
"Hoo!"
Xiao Lei's mouth opened slightly, and he exhaled a long breath of turbid air, instantly feeling refreshed and in high spirits.
His palms clenched slightly, and a powerful sense of strength caused a smile to appear on Xiao Lei's lips.
A four-star Dou Shi, a direct leap to three levels! The feeling of becoming stronger is truly impressive!
Sensing the many times stronger Dou Qi within his body, Xiao Lei was quite satisfied.
After finishing his cultivation, Xiao Lei took out the scroll containing the "Raging Lion's Fury" technique from his system space and began to carefully study it.
With the blessing of his heaven-defying comprehension, Xiao Lei had already completely mastered it after just one reading.
If Xiao Zhan and the rest of the Xiao family knew that Xiao Lei had so easily mastered the Xiao family's clan-protecting technique, they would probably be astonished!
However, Xiao Lei was somewhat dissatisfied.
He had failed to create a Ground-Rank technique by combining the Wind Sweep Technique and the Raging Lion's Fury.
"It seems I still need more accumulation to create higher-level techniques," Xiao Lei thought to himself, quickly realizing his mistake.
Currently, he still lacked sufficient Dou Qi techniques and was deficient in the accumulation of knowledge and foundation.
When he previously deduced and created his fighting techniques, he combined hundreds of techniques to create two high-level Xuan-rank techniques. "
Tomorrow I'll go to the Dou Qi Pavilion to study all the family's Dou Qi cultivation methods. With more accumulation, perhaps I can even deduce my Thunder Technique to the Heavenly rank in the future!"
Xiao Lei's mind raced, and he quickly made up his mind.
...
The next day, Xiao Lei found Xiao Zhan again, returned the Angry Lion's Fury, and expressed his desire to go to the Dou Qi Pavilion.
The Dou Qi Pavilion was the most important place in the Xiao family.
All the Dou Qi cultivation methods collected by the family over hundreds of years were stored there, and the defense was extremely tight, basically a forbidden area.
Normally, the Dou Qi Pavilion was only temporarily opened after the coming-of-age ceremony.
However, when Xiao Zhan learned that Xiao Lei wanted to go to the Dou Qi Pavilion to study cultivation methods, he agreed without hesitation.
Not only Xiao Zhan, but even the three elders of the Xiao family had no objections.
The main reason was that Xiao Lei had contributed a high-level Xuan-rank cultivation method to the family!
It's important to know that before this, the highest-level cultivation technique in the Xiao family was only at the mid-level of the Profound Rank!
Xiao Zhan and the three elders personally led Xiao Lei to the location of the Dou Qi Pavilion.
"Xiao Lei, these cultivation techniques are the foundation of the family. After you go in, choose some techniques that interest you, but don't take too many out at once. It wouldn't be good if they were lost or damaged,"
the First Elder suddenly spoke up after they arrived at the entrance of the Dou Qi Pavilion, instructing Xiao Lei.
Xiao Lei smiled and said, "Thank you for the reminder, First Elder. However, I plan to study them directly in the Dou Qi Pavilion. Is that alright?"
"That would be even better," Xiao Zhan and the other three exchanged glances, all having no objections.
Afterwards, Xiao Zhan gave Xiao Lei some instructions, then opened the Dou Qi Pavilion and let Xiao Lei in.
Once inside, Xiao Lei didn't waste any time, immediately taking out a cultivation scroll from the outermost shelf and beginning to study it.
Before long, Xiao Lei had mastered the scroll, then moved on to the second, the third…
As time passed, Xiao Lei studied more and more cultivation techniques, and the protective shield of the scrolls had absolutely no effect on him. After most of the day had passed
, Xiao Lei had finished studying all the cultivation techniques in the Dou Qi Pavilion.
In the evening, Xiao Lei rubbed his temples wearily and stepped out of the Dou Qi Pavilion.
"How was it? Did you gain anything?" Xiao Zhan and the three elders, who had been waiting outside, hurriedly asked as soon as they saw Xiao Lei emerge.
Xiao Lei smiled and said, "Hmm, not bad."
Xiao Zhan smiled and said, "That's good. It's getting late today, let's continue tomorrow."
The three elders also said, "The clan leader is right, there are many cultivation techniques in the Dou Qi Pavilion, take your time, no rush."
"Thank you, clan leader and three elders, but I have selected some useful cultivation techniques and have already finished comprehending them. As for the others, we'll see how things go later," Xiao Lei shook his head and said.
"That's fine then. Comprehending cultivation techniques takes a lot of mental energy, you should go back and rest," Xiao Zhan nodded and said.
"Okay, then I'll go back first," Xiao Lei bowed to Xiao Zhan and the three elders, then turned and returned to his residence.
After returning to his room, Xiao Lei sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes slightly, emptied his mind for a while, and then began to try to combine the essence of various Dou Qi cultivation techniques to deduce and create new techniques.
[You began to delve deeply into different types of Dou Qi techniques, such as Wind Sweep Technique, Raging Lion's Fury, and Refining Fire, comprehending the characteristics of each!]
[You attempted to refine and distill the essence of these Dou Qi techniques, blending them together to create a more powerful technique. With your extraordinary comprehension, you suddenly had a flash of inspiration!]
[You concentrated intently, hoping to use this as a springboard to create a new Dou Qi technique. Suddenly, you had an epiphany!]
[Combining hundreds of Dou Qi techniques, including Wind Sweep Technique, Raging Lion's Fury, and Refining Fire, and drawing on the characteristics of the high-level Earth-rank technique Thunder Technique, you deduced and created the low-level Earth-rank Dou Qi technique Storm Technique!]
A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Lei opened his tightly closed eyes, a faint joy appearing within them.
Finally, it was done! This also served as valuable experience for creating my own unique techniques in the future!
This was also a major reason why Xiao Lei had been so enthusiastic about creating techniques these past two days.
Xiao Lei was not satisfied with his current technique, which was only at the high-level Earth-rank.
After completing the deduction and creation of the cultivation technique, Xiao Lei adjusted his mind and then rested.
Perhaps due to excessive mental exertion, when Xiao Lei awoke again, it was already the afternoon of a new day.
According to the information Xiao Lei had overheard using his super-hearing ability, today was the day Liu Xi would arrive in Jialiebi.
After waking up, Xiao Lei went out to Wutan City and found a restaurant to eat at.
Then, he wandered around the city alone, waiting for nightfall.
Before he knew it, the sky over Wutan City had completely darkened.
A dark and windy night—the perfect opportunity to kill and wipe out an entire family! Xiao Lei
found a secluded spot, put on his invisibility cloak, and then slowly made his way towards the Jialie family. Tonight, he would be sending the Jialie family to their grave! (End of Chapter)
