Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

Although Xiao Fan knew these things existed, it was only after seeing them with his own eyes that he truly felt his own insignificance.

In particular, Xiao Fan also took a hit from a nine-star Dou Sheng. Although it was just an energy impact that the opponent unconsciously released, if it weren't for the protection of "Hidden Edge", Xiao Fan probably wouldn't have been able to withstand the opponent's aura and would have died directly.

Under Zang Feng's protection, Xiao Fan personally experienced the terrifying power of a nine-star Dou Sheng. It was a terrifying existence that could suppress the void with a mere turn of its head. For Xiao Fan now, it was no less exciting than an ordinary civilian suddenly standing next to a national leader.

Moreover, when Xiao Fan and Zhu Kun looked at each other during their final escape through the torn space, it was in that one glance that Xiao Fan truly felt his own insignificance.

The reason he didn't die despite being targeted by such a terrifying being was because he was still within the one-second protection time of "Hidden Edge".

Even so, Zhu Kun's terrifying gaze was like a nightmare, directly shattering Xiao Fan's soul power.

It wasn't that Cang Feng failed to protect Xiao Fan, but rather that he suddenly witnessed a terror beyond his comprehension. Xiao Fan's spirit couldn't withstand such an impact and was directly disrupted by that single glance. This was also because Xiao Fan had already undergone the system's soul tempering, so his mental strength and willpower were extremely strong, which allowed him to persevere.

If it were anyone else, with their mental energy in such a state, they would probably have become an idiot by now.

............................

Unable to mobilize his internal energy and with his mental power as stagnant as paste, Xiao Fan was momentarily at a loss as to how to escape this magma world.

If Xiao Fan could mobilize either Dou Qi or Soul Power, he would have a way to do so. Unfortunately, he can't mobilize either of them now. Simply put, he has become a useless eight-star Dou Zong.

After standing there pondering for a while, looking at the Chaos Flame that automatically protected its body, Xiao Fan chose the most primitive method: swimming.

In the magma, Xiao Fan rapidly moved his hands and kicked his feet, trying to push upwards.

Unable to see his own location, Xiao Fan had no idea how long he was still to the surface of the lava. All he could do was thrash around, trying his best to swim towards the surface.

Unable to probe his soul power, Xiao Fan didn't know how far he had swum. All he knew was that as far as the eye could see, there was still an endless expanse of scarlet lava.

The thick lava enveloped him tightly, making him feel incredibly oppressed.

"Damn it, I'm not swimming anymore, whatever!"

After swimming for about half an hour, all Xiao Fan could see was lava. He could only feel the constantly surging lava flowing past him, and he couldn't perceive anything else.

Xiao Fan's face showed a hint of annoyance. He then spread his hands and lay down in the lava, unwilling to move an inch.

Lying flat in the lava, Xiao Fan, whose mental and physical strength had been severely damaged, had nothing to do but lie there in a daze.

As he fell silent, the only sound left in the magma world was the roar of surging magma, which occasionally emitted a deafening explosion.

Silence fell over him, and Xiao Fan's mind began to flash back to everything he had observed in the world at the bottom of the magma.

A colossal spatial gate, tens of thousands of feet in size...

The ancient emperor's cave, stretching across the void, boasts a vast layout and exudes a primal aura...

A colossal dragon emperor, slumbering in the void, whose very power could shatter space with a mere turn of its head, stretched as far as the eye could see...

Images flashed through Xiao Fan's mind, and once again, he had a profound understanding of what a strong person truly was.

The last time Xiao Fan felt this way was when he was captured by the Eagle Protector from the Jia Ma Empire and taken to the Black Corner Region. At that time, he felt powerless in the face of the strong. Originally, Xiao Fan thought that with the improvement of his strength, he was now able to deal with most crises. However, after witnessing the vastness of the underground world, he realized how insignificant he was.

Before a Dou Sheng, he couldn't even withstand the opponent's aura; any means he used were useless against him.

If it weren't for Zangfeng's protection, I would probably have been annihilated by the opponent's attack long ago...

In his mind, Xiao Fan couldn't help but recall the terrifying body of the Dragon Emperor Zhukun when he faced him directly.

Previously, Xiao Fan always felt that his Dragon Extreme Battle Dance still had a lot of room for improvement, and he couldn't figure out where it was not perfect. But at this moment, in this quiet environment, Xiao Fan suddenly had a moment of enlightenment.

Although his Dragon Extreme Battle Dance looks extremely impressive and powerful, in the end, the giant dragon that is condensed in the Dragon Extreme Battle Dance is nothing but an illusion. Its appearance is nothing more than what Xiao Fan constructed in his mind based on his memories from his previous life.

Despite its imposing appearance, it is actually just a manipulation of energy.

In that instant, recalling Zhu Kun he had seen in the void, Xiao Fan suddenly realized that his Dragon Extreme Battle Dance was missing the most crucial element.

Longwei!

The dragon's imposing aura!

Xiao Fan had never seen a real dragon before. No matter how grand the legends in his previous life were, to Xiao Fan it was just a picture on paper. He had never seen a real dragon, nor had he personally felt the terrifying pressure emanating from a dragon that made ordinary creatures tremble. How could he possibly condense the aura that a dragon should have?

Although Xiao Fan had been with Zi Yan before, Zi Yan relied more on her talent and brute strength, and never exuded the pressure of the Ancient Void Dragon. Xiao Fan always treated her as a little sister.

After facing Zhu Kun directly, Xiao Fan suddenly felt that a dragon should be like this: vast and terrifying strength, an enormous and boundless body, and a terrifying aura that shatters the minds of its enemies...

In his mind, Xiao Fan couldn't help but think of the giant dragon he had condensed during the Dragon Extreme Battle Dance, comparing it with Zhu Kun in his mind.

After a long while, Xiao Fan opened his eyes with a helpless expression, a glint of shrewdness flashing in them.

"Completely worthless, utterly incomparable!"

The more Xiao Fan compared the dragon shadow he had conjured with Zhu Kun, the more clumsy he felt his previous methods had been.

It's like someone confidently cooking a pot of food, thinking they've reached the level of a master chef, and feeling smug. But one day, they suddenly taste the most delicious food at a state banquet, and looking back, they realize that what they made was as bad as excrement.

The more Xiao Fan deduced, the brighter the light in his eyes became.

In his mind, Zhu Kun's body flashed through his mind again and again: his scarlet pupils, each the size of hundreds of people; his scales, each as sturdy as a small town; the sheer oppressive aura emanating from him, even just lying there, could instill fear in other creatures...

Xiao Fan began to ponder the Dragon Extreme Battle Dance, repeatedly overturning its previous core principles, observing the Candle Kun in his mind, and constantly improving his fighting skills.

Two days passed quickly. Xiao Fan looked haggard, but his dark eyes were full of sharp light, and his aura carried a faint sense of pressure.

A faint smile played on Xiao Fan's lips.

"It's finally done..."

Xiao Fan reviewed the methods he had been pondering for the past two days, repeatedly observing the phantom of Zhu Kun in his mind, and made significant modifications to his Dragon Extreme Battle Dance.

At this point, the transformation finally took place.

At this moment, Xiao Fan was absolutely certain that his Dragon Extreme Battle Dance, even with only three different flames infused into it, was still qualified to enter the ranks of Earth-rank battle skills!

Thinking of this, Xiao Fan couldn't help but smile. Creating his own Earth-rank fighting technique was a talent that Xiao Fan was proud of. At least, he hadn't disgraced the army of transmigrators!

P.S. I still have to work, and I only managed to squeeze in some time to update this quickly. I hope everyone will support me! Thank you all for reading this far, thank you for your likes! (No donations are accepted on other sites, only on Migu.)

Chapter 65 Xiao Yan Sharpens His Knife, Xiao Fan Panics [Second Update]

call out!

Amidst the crimson lava, a cyan figure darted through. Upon closer inspection, it was revealed to be a figure enveloped in cyan flames, constantly traversing the lava.

This person was none other than Xiao Yan, who had been waiting for Xiao Fan for a long time but had not been able to find him, because something had happened to Xiao Fan.

"Senior brother, where are you?"

Xiao Yan's figure swept through the magma, his vast soul power constantly sweeping through the surrounding magma, a faint sense of helplessness on his face.

"Senior brother, with all this commotion, where on earth have you been?"

Xiao Yan recalled that even the six-star Dou Zun, Tianhuo Zun, had perished here, and the depths of the magma that had terrified him. Although there was no evidence, Xiao Yan had a strange feeling that his restless senior brother had probably really plunged into the depths of the magma world.

Unfortunately, Xiao Yan's current strength is too weak to venture too deep into the magma world. Not to mention the lizardmen with the strength of Dou Zun, even if they were at the Dou Zong level, Xiao Yan would not dare to linger in battle. If he were to be held back by them, with endless lizardmen chasing after him, he would probably never return.

With a sigh, Xiao Yan aimlessly searched through the lava. If he found nothing, he would have to leave temporarily and return to the inner courtyard to wait.

"Ok?"

Just as Xiao Yan was about to leave, the Fallen Heart Flame that he had just subdued emitted a faint fluctuation, attracting Xiao Yan's attention.

"What else in this magma could attract the Fallen Heart Flame?"

As Xiao Yan sensed the movement of the Fallen Heart Flame, a hint of doubt and excitement appeared on his face. Anything that could trigger the response of a strange fire must be extraordinary, especially in this bizarre magma world.

However, Xiao Yan didn't rush over blindly. Instead, he hesitated for a moment before carefully exploring the place indicated by the Fallen Heart Flame.

The power of wind and thunder within his body was poised to be unleashed. At the slightest disturbance, he would flee immediately. No matter how great the opportunity, if he lost his life, it would all be for naught.

"Kid, don't worry. This is a shallow layer of magma. Those lizardmen can only live in magma. Once they leave the magma, they will die naturally. So they almost never set foot in this shallow layer of magma."

An aged voice entered Xiao Yan's ears from within the storage ring in his hand, carrying a hint of curiosity. Even Venerable Heavenly Flame did not know what was attracting the Fallen Heart Flame.

With the help of Venerable Heavenly Flame, Xiao Yan became much bolder and soon arrived at another place under the guidance of the Fallen Heart Flame.

There's nothing special here.

Xiao Yan released his spiritual power, scanning through the magma, but found nothing under the probe, and a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.

"Indeed not." Just then, Venerable Heavenly Fire's voice also rang in Xiao Yan's mind.

"I haven't found anything special around here either. As for small spaces, there aren't any here either. However, something that can attract the Fallen Heart Flame must be extremely special. Search around carefully."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan slowly nodded. Even if Venerable Tianhuo hadn't said anything, having come this far, Xiao Yan wouldn't go back so easily.

Xiao Yan released his soul power, carefully sensing the unusual activity within the magma, and then began searching the surrounding area.

"Ok?"

As Xiao Yan searched, he glanced back casually and seemed to catch a glimpse of a bright, dark color in his eyes, which were covered by the strange fire.

Amidst this crimson magma, Xiao Yan had never seen a color other than red. At this moment, he caught a glimpse of darkness, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes. Recalling the strange movements of the Fallen Heart Flame, Xiao Yan was 80% certain that the source of this anomaly was the darkness that had just flashed by.

Xiao Yan released his soul power and probed the spot he had just glanced at, but found nothing unusual. In his soul perception, there was nothing there except magma.

"I also checked that direction, and there was nothing special about it."

The voice of Venerable Heavenly Fire rang in Xiao Yan's mind, making him wonder if he had seen it wrong.

But clinging to a sliver of hope, Xiao Yan cautiously searched in the direction he had just caught a glimpse of.

"What is this thing......."

After a while, Xiao Yan looked at the dark flames burning quietly in front of him, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

His soul power swept over the strange flame, but he found nothing, as if it didn't exist at all. However, the pitch blackness that met his eyes reminded Xiao Yan of the extraordinary nature of this thing.
