BATTLE THROUGH THE HEAVEN
the dou zhe's progress

Although Xiao Yan had obtained the Qi Gathering Pill, he did not consume it immediately. Instead, he sighed deeply as he forcefully suppressed his impatience and made himself climb onto the bed to rest.

Xiao Yan knew that if he started the process to become a Dou Zhe under his current condition, the chances of his failure were over 70%. Although Yao Lao could easily concoct another Qi Gathering pill, Xiao Yan did not wish to take any unnecessary risks that could be easily avoided.

Seeing that Xiao Yan was able to resist the temptation to immediately break through the Dou Zhe level, Yao Lao nodded with a satisfied feeling. With a satisfied expression on his face, his body dazzled as he turned into a ray of light and disappeared into the ring.

……

After completing the Qi Gathering Pill, Xiao Yan's training speed slowly slowed to a steady rhythm. Every day, he conducted an hour of Dou Qi training before going to the mountains behind the Xiao Clan to practice his Dou Skills. If he had the time, Xiao Yan would accompany Xun Er on a walk around Wu Tang City. All in all, a very satisfying relaxing life.

When these five days of leisurely life had passed, Xiao Yan finally felt that he was in peak condition. Now is the best time to try to become a Dou Zhe.

……

In the mountains behind the Xiao Clan plantation, there was a cave hidden under the cliff. This cave was about a meter wide and was specially chosen by Xiao Yan as his training ground. On the other side of the cliff was a misty cloud while further under the fog was the Devil Beast Mountain Range, filled with many ferocious beasts. Under the cliff there is a cliff so deep that you cannot see the depth. The only entrance to the cave was a narrow path that Xiao Yan had hidden using branches and stones. So Xiao Yan was very confident that if he chose this place to make a breakthrough, he would not be bothered by anyone.

Slowly breathing, Xiao Yan took out a jade bottle. Tilting the bottle, the bluish green pill was launched.

Gazing at the shiny and smooth Qi Gathering Pill, a small smile formed on Xiao Yan's face. He once again inhaled a scent that would lighten one's heart. Licking his lips, Xiao Yan unhesitatingly stuffed the pill into his mouth.

When the Qi Gathering Pill entered his mouth, an ice-cold sensation could be felt transmitting from his mouth. A split second later, the warm-warm pure energy essence began to transfer from his mouth into his body, giving rise to the violent jolt of Xiao Yan's body.

With a calm face, Xiao Yan used both hands to quickly form a hand seal that absorbed Dou Qi. His breathing slowly subsided as the Dou Qi within his body responded to his thoughts and began to quickly tangle with the powerful and pure essence of the pill to quickly refine it.

Inside the small cave, the originally calm air suddenly rose as white streaks of Dou Zi Qi gathered from the air and surged continuously into Xiao Yan's body.

Biting his lips in pain, the two energies collided within his body and caused waves of pain to radiate from channels all over his body. Fortunately, Xiao Yan's channel was much more difficult than an ordinary person and hence although it was painful, it would not cause him too much damage.

Within his body, Dou Qi surrounded the pure green energy essence, rapidly refining it. The green energy was constantly being transformed into white Dou Qi and with the newly formed Dou Qi to drive the process, the, The Dou Qi within Xiao Yan's body quickly expanded to the point where he could be seen growing with the naked eye.

Although the pure essence of the pill was being refined endlessly, the essence continued to flow nonstop. Every time a Dou Qi managed to refine a certain amount of essence, new and greater green energy would flow forward.

With both Dou Qi being refined within his body and absorbed from the outside, the Dou Qi within Xiao Yan's body gradually filled most of his body's channels.

As before, the purification process continues. When the essence of the pill finally started to diminish, Xiao Yan who was drunk on the rapid growth of his strength suddenly realized that the Dou Qi in his body had swelled to a critical point and could no longer be increased.

"Quick! Solve cyclone Dou Qi! Before exploding! ”Yao Lao's shout was like a clap of thunder, exploding in Xiao Yan's heart.

Breathing in a deep cold air, Xiao Yan's hand seal suddenly changed in a flash of understanding. Touching his thumb and middle finger in the same place, the ten fingers on his hand formed a strange hand seal.

Xiao Yan had taken this step many years before and therefore when he used it once again, it flowed like water, smooth and unperturbed.

Following the change of the hand seal, the surging Dou Qi within Xiao Yan's body suddenly flooded down under the wild and ferocious sucking force of the stomach.

When all the Dou Qi had gathered in the abdominal area, the white Dou Qi started to turn into a milky white color.

“Quick compress Dou Qi! Use the perception of your soul to compress it, if the Dou Qi fails to be condensed into a typhoon, you will once again fall to 8 Duan Qi! ”Yao Lao's shout echoed once again in Xiao Yan's heart.

Slightly nodding his head, Xiao Yan focused his mind on the task. In an instant, his overwhelming perception of his soul gained control over Dou Qi. Compression quickly begins ……

The milky white Dou Zi Qi rejected the guidance of the soul perception, violently spinning about.

Although that resistance was not at all weak, Xiao Yan's soul perception had shocked even Yao Lao. Thus the Dou Qi resistance was similar to the praying mantis trying to block the car, only slightly resisting before reluctantly pulling back.

When the Dou Qi was compressed to the size of a palm, it froze and stopped moving.

"Compress again!" Shouted Yao Lao.

Gritting his teeth, Xiao Yan closed his eyes. The spiritual perception surrounding the white Dou Qi suddenly culminated in power before suppressing viciously!

"Bang!"

The sound of muffled light slowly rang out within Xiao Yan's body ……

After this, the resistance of the Dou Qi finally disappeared, leaving the drained Xiao Yan.

******* weight came out when Xiao Yan helplessly fell to the ground, his chest rising and falling rapidly due to exhaustion.

As he lay on the cold floor of the cave, Xiao Yan again experienced the abundant energy he had not felt for four years. A smile floated on his lips, growing wider and wider until it finally became a laugh, a warm laugh, a howling laugh …
