After his body reached a saturation point with the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, Xiao Yan, gazing inward at the over a hundred drops of liquid inner strength within his dantian, smiled with satisfaction. He exhaled a breath of turbid air and slowly awoke.
"Battles are indeed the best way to grow stronger. This improvement is far greater than a month's worth of daily training."
His Six Meridians Divine Sword and Waterfall Fury Tide had both improved significantly from the battle against Tang Hao. Now, his inner strength had also experienced a small increase. His gains were truly abundant.
As Xiao Yan woke up, Xiao Yi, kneeling beside him, gently fluttered her long eyelashes and slowly closed her eyes, entering a state of cultivation.
After the fight with Tang Hao, she felt that her own strength was about to break through as well.
Sensing the increasingly dense Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi around them, Xiao Yan couldn't help but laugh, "Is she about to break through too?"
Tang Hao's appearance tonight was truly... fantastic!
He had triggered the injuries within his body again, but it also caused his strength to increase greatly. Now, Xiao Yi's strength was also going to improve.
"It's a pity, Tang Hao ran too fast. If I could have fought him a few more times, I wonder how quickly my strength would have improved?"
Thinking of that giant hammer, Xiao Yan shook his head. "Forget it, that big hammer is still difficult to deal with for now. Next time."
After using Martial Soul True Body, Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer was excessively large, and its force was also incredibly overbearing.
If he wasn't fighting alone, and didn't have top-tier life-saving skills like teleportation and the Invincible Golden Body, it would be difficult to escape the hammer's range.
Even if he barely escaped, the residual force wasn't something an ordinary person could withstand.
Overall, the hundred years of inner strength still had a significant gap compared to Tang Hao, a Title Douluo's soul power.
If his inner strength was more profound, and the power of the Six Meridians Divine Sword was thus enhanced, the silent, combined strike of the six meridians wouldn't necessarily only be able to barely alter the direction of Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer's attack.
In terms of the power of the techniques, the Six Meridians Divine Sword's only advantage against a Title Douluo was its invisibility and elusiveness. It didn't have any special effects in terms of power, and was even at a disadvantage.
Compared to a Title Douluo's soul skills, it wasn't even in the same league.
Xiao Yan touched his nose, then looked at Xiao Yi with concentration.
Although Tang Hao was very powerful, he didn't lose confidence because of it.
Even Title Douluos were different.
Level 91 was a Title Douluo, and Level 99 was also a Title Douluo.
The fact that Tang Hao could escape from Spirit Hall's encirclement meant his strength was definitely not as simple as a Level 91 Title Douluo.
As Xiao Yi entered her cultivation state, the energy surging between the heavens and the earth immediately became turbulent. In the end, her body seemed to possess an endless swallowing power, continuously absorbing the natural energy that crazily drilled into her body.
Xiao Yi delved into her body, systematically guiding the heaven and earth energy that had entered her. The Mysterious Heaven Skill rapidly circulated, refining the mottled energy.
Countless energies converged, and a powerful aura erupted from Xiao Yi, her elegant purple hair flowing without any wind.
"This aura?" Xiao Yan raised his hand and touched his nose, his black eyes fixed on Xiao Yi.
Seeing Xiao Yan's solemn expression, Xiao Xue shook his arm. "Brother Xiao Yan, what's wrong? Is there a problem with Sister Xiao Yi's breakthrough?"
Xiao Yan shook his head. "No, it just reminds me of some past events."
"What past events? Does Xiao Xue know?" Xiao Xue blinked her big, watery eyes playfully.
Affectionately ruffling Xiao Xue's head, Xiao Yan didn't answer, just shook his head.
The past events he was referring to were none other than the day Xiao Wu died. After merging with Xiao Wu's hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring and Soul Bone, his inner energy had undergone a qualitative change. Xiao Yi was currently undergoing a similar advancement.
Xiao Yi and Xiao Xue learned the Mysterious Heaven Skill, but there wasn't any immediately apparent, magical effect after they started practicing it.
Neither of Xiao Yan's previous guesses had been correct.
The internal energy they cultivated accumulated entirely within their own dantian.
Of course, this was when they were in human form.
When they reverted to their Soul Ring forms, this powerful internal energy was then carried within the Soul Rings.
The manifestation of this was that their original, crimson ten-thousand-year Soul Rings deepened slightly after they practiced.
After two years of cultivation, their Soul Rings already showed some differences compared to their initial ten-thousand-year levels.
Simply put, their cultivation could increase the lifespan of their Soul Rings.
This strange effect, though not as powerful as Xiao Yan had guessed, was still significant. In the Douluo Continent, a soul master's common knowledge dictated that once a Soul Ring was absorbed, it couldn't be changed. Therefore, soul masters who pursued strength would strive to absorb Soul Rings with the best possible age.
The ability to increase a Soul Ring's age was something of a dream for soul masters in the Douluo Continent.
Under the impact of the vast heaven and earth elemental energy, the inner force within Xiao Yi's meridians, already extremely viscous, became even more so, gradually transforming from a mist into a tangible liquid.
Kneeling on the ground, Xiao Yi's eyebrows furrowed slightly. This inner force cleansing was not pleasant. She could only push the Mysterious Heaven Skill to its limit.
The inner force increased, and the Mysterious Heaven Skill was also driven to its limit.
Finally, when the two reached a certain threshold.
The misty inner force was compressed into droplets of pure liquid, falling like a gentle rain within her meridians.
While her mind was exploring her body, Xiao Yi could clearly feel her strength rapidly increasing due to this transformation of inner force.
This almost euphoric sensation made her feel so good that she almost couldn't help but let out a sound of embarrassment.
When all the inner energy had transformed into liquid, Xiao Yi slowly opened her eyes, as if she were a sleeping beauty who had just woken up, and slowly stood up.
Two streams of dark blue light rose from her feet, and her clothing changed accordingly.
The white embroidered shoes on her feet turned purple. Following that, the white silk stockings that tightly wrapped her plump, jade-like legs transformed into mysterious purple.
Her plain white Taoist robe-style dress also changed, with some purple decorations and two purple-black belts added.
Xiao Yan carefully watched Xiao Yi. Except for the lack of decorations on her back, Xiao Yi looked very much like the mysterious Shao Siming.
"Sister Xiao Yi seems to have grown up?"
Xiao Xue glanced at the newly dressed Xiao Yi, her movements agile as she arrived behind her. She embraced Xiao Yi's slender waist, which was barely able to be grasped, with both hands, and gently lifted it.
"It does seem like she's grown up," Xiao Yan agreed, nodding.
In the past, Xiao Yi seemed like a mysterious girl. Now, she had a bit of an older woman's charm.
Xiao Xue's delicate, fair hands were all over him, and even though her stunning face was always hidden behind a veil, he could still see the blush on her cheeks through the thin fabric.
