944. Two major fighting techniques
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan also showed a surprised expression. Yan Jin had always demonstrated strength at the late stage of an eight-star Dou Sheng, and he hadn't expected him to break through the bottleneck of a nine-star Dou Sheng during this period. This was naturally a great joy for the alliance. Although the late stage of an eight-star Dou Sheng and a nine-star Dou Sheng might seem similar, they were actually worlds apart.
With Yan Jin reaching the Nine Stars level, he now has the potential to fight the patriarch of the Soul Clan.
"In that case, I must congratulate Clan Chief Yan Jin on breaking through to the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm."
Yan Jin smiled slightly: "In the end, I still have to thank you for your help to the Yan Clan. If it weren't for you and Elder Huo Zhen refining that life-saving ninth-grade pill, I wouldn't have been able to advance any further after recovering."
On the day of the surprise attack, the Flame Clan was initially extremely passive, with its members constantly being killed in the attacks. However, Yan Jin managed to stabilize the situation for a short period thanks to his own strength and the Flame Clan's inherent resources. Although the Flame Clan ultimately could not defeat the Soul Clan, they made them pay a considerable price.
During his life-or-death battle with several Soul Clan experts, Yan Jin's bottleneck, which had bound him for many years as a Nine-Star Dou Sheng, finally loosened, allowing him to successfully advance to the next level. Such an opportunity only occurs after such a life-or-death battle.
"With Chief Yanjin's strength, our alliance will only grow stronger!"
"There are still twelve people with the strength of Dou Zun left, but if we are to fight against the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan, the help they can provide is relatively limited."
"Since I've said I'm willing to join, you can rest assured. I'll act immediately as soon as I get word! After you become the leader, I'll follow your orders!"
After saying this, Yan Jin also sent out a warm and smooth jade slip: "This jade slip contains a trace of my soul. If you need it, you can crush the jade slip, and I will arrive in a short time."
Xiao Yan put away the spatial jade slip, feeling much more at ease. This jade slip represented the Yan Clan's absolute support for the alliance. With Yan Jin as a top-tier combatant, the alliance formed by the Starfall Pavilion finally had the strength to challenge other Dou Di descendant families.
At the same time, Yan Jin's attitude was so good that Xiao Yan could hardly believe it. This was a peerless expert at the level of a nine-star Dou Sheng!
……
After Xiao Yan left Yan Jin, his two newly accepted disciples took him to the residence arranged by the Yan Clan and paid their respects to their teacher with great solemnity.
Xiao Yan grew up under Yao Lao's tutelage, so their master-disciple relationship was naturally very harmonious. Therefore, Xiao Yan had no airs at all and didn't demand such trivial formalities. Instead, he began to inquire about their strengths. After learning that Huo Fan possessed fire-attribute Dou Qi with wood-attribute attributes, making him suitable for learning alchemy, Xiao Yan began to consider what he should teach these two.
This really stumped Xiao Yan, since many of his own skills were difficult to replicate, but these two were from the Yan Clan and would never look down on ordinary techniques and fighting skills.
Fortunately, the Yan Clan had no other requirements besides the apprenticeship. Teaching is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Xiao Yan also thought that he could consult with Yao Lao and others after returning to Xingyun Pavilion.
However, the two Heavenly Rank Battle Techniques that were originally intended for him were simply handed over to him by the two. Their reason was that they were too difficult, and they needed Xiao Yan to help them simplify the content so they could begin basic practice. This request was quite reasonable; it was clear that someone had already instructed them beforehand.
Xiao Yan didn't stand on ceremony and put away the two fighting techniques, saying he would study them first and then return them to the two of them.
Xiao Yan then began to study the fighting techniques in detail. Both techniques were at the initial stage of the Heaven Rank, and in terms of quality alone, they were probably even stronger than Xiao Yan's Ninefold Crimson Tide.
The fire-glazed animal-shaped vessel can condense the spirit of a fire beast to aid its host in battle. The more precious and powerful the flame, the stronger the fire beast's power. Records state that if condensed using rare and wondrous fire from heaven and earth, the fire beast possesses the domineering ability to boil the sea and burn the sky.
When Xiao Yan saw the effect of this fighting technique, he immediately understood why the Yan Clan had given it to him. Who could compare to him, who possessed multiple different kinds of strange flames, when a fire beast was condensed from the wondrous flames of heaven and earth?
Xiao Yan liked the fighting technique more and more as he looked at it. He unconsciously began to imagine whether his strange fire should be condensed separately or fused into the Eight Desolate Star Lotus Flame and then condensed into one. He also wondered what level of combat power the strange fire would reach after it transformed into a fire beast.
However, these Heavenly Rank Battle Techniques were quite difficult to master. At first, Xiao Yan couldn't find a way to use them, and he couldn't even condense the simplest fire beast. Xiao Yan could only give up for the time being and take out another scroll of Heavenly Rank Battle Techniques to study carefully.
Compared to the fire-glazed animal-shaped body, the Crimson Flame Piercing the Sun effect is much simpler. It is the simplest and most direct attack and combat technique. When used, the user transforms into a stream of fire, unstoppable, with the power to pierce the heavens and the sun.
After carefully studying this Heaven-Rank Battle Technique, Xiao Yan discovered that it subtly incorporated movement techniques into the battle technique itself. However, he hadn't mastered it yet and didn't know what the final effect would be. He wondered if he could achieve the speed of a Heaven-Rank movement technique when unleashed at full power.
After learning about these two fighting techniques, Xiao Yan subconsciously exclaimed, "What powerful fighting techniques, what profound foundations!"
Even after advancing to the Dou Sheng level, Xiao Yan still felt that his combat strength was not outstanding enough, and that he didn't have enough trump cards to use against Dou Sheng opponents.
During this trip, Yao Lao helped Xiao Yan fill the gaps in his soul skills, and the Yan Clan also resolved the issues of clan markings and fighting techniques. Once he is fully familiar with all these abilities, Xiao Yan is confident that he will become a top performer among his peers.
Good fighting techniques are extremely attractive, especially for someone like Xiao Yan. Although he thought he could just take a look and be done with it, three days passed in the blink of an eye after he studied the two fighting techniques.
Because of the complexity of Heavenly Rank Battle Techniques, Xiao Yan hasn't quite grasped them yet. This all takes time, just like alchemy; it can't be rushed.
Therefore, Xiao Yan also had the idea of returning to the Starfall Pavilion. Although his negotiations on the alliance had generally gone smoothly, he still needed to find out the attitudes of the other families towards the alliance and to compete for the position of alliance leader according to the agreement between himself and the Yan Clan.
Since Xiao Yan had decided to leave, the Yan Clan didn't try to stop him. Yan Jin personally came to see him off, giving him a few instructions. He told Xiao Yan that if there were any unexpected situations, he could crush the jade slip and let Yan Jin take action, and that he should notify the Soul Clan immediately if he discovered any unusual movements. After that, Xiao Yan left the Yan Clan with the two disciples from the Yan Clan.
