Chapter 2 - Reborn

The moon was like a silver plate and the stars filled the sky.

At the summit of the cliff, Xiao Yan lay on the grass with a smile on his face.

He raised his white palm and put it in front of him, blocking the moon and only letting some moonlight pass through the gaps between his fingers. He looked at the giant circular silver moon in the sky.

Thinking about what happened in the morning, Xiao Yan smilled slightly in his mind. He lazily pulled his hand back and rested both hands on his head. He looked absent-minded.

"Dou Di continent, huh?" a soft voice that suddenly was spat out from the young teen without any warning.

In Xiao Yan's mind, there was a secret that only he himself knew: He wasn't a person from this world. More accurately, his soul wasn't from this world. He was from a deep blue star called Earth after truck kun hit him while doing good deeds his soul got in body of Xiao Yan future Dou Di who had just died today in the morning by depression after losing his cultivation 4 years ago.

As for unexplainable mystery of why he would be here, he think that god want to compensate him. 

Not to mention I am a fan of this series So since I am here why not enjoy the journey to god as I know as long I follow Battle through the heavens Xiao Yan path I will eventually at worst not only will become a God but also get beautiful women and not mention my knowledge of series will make it more easier for me to increase my strength. It will work as foresight although I just remember some of important things that happen.But there is no need to worry.

On this big piece of land, the training of Dou Qi had become commonplace after the hard work of countless individuals who continued to train beyond generations, expanding the knowledge surrounding Dou Qi all the way to the top. Dou Qi and mankind are one and the same in everyday life and as such, Dou Qi is extremely important in the continent. It could be called irreplaceable that's why I want to awake Yao Chen and start my journey to god!Because he will give me better Duo Qi technique that why I am waiting for him to wake up if not because of him I would have already started practicing other techniques. 

Let's talk about Dou Qi technique as the number of levels in Dou Qi kept increasing, so did the number of ways to train it. Some were better than others, as expected.

After going through a system of analysis, the Dou Qi technique rankings in the Dou Qi Continent got split into four different classes – Huang ,Xuan,Di,Tian.

And every class was split further into Beginner, Medium and High ranks!

The Dou Qi techniques you learned also determined how strong you would be. For example, if a person practiced a Xuan class Medium rank technique, he would naturally be stronger than a person who practiced a Huang class High rank technique that why I am waiting.

In the Dou Qi Continent, to differentiate the strong from the weak, there are 3 criterias that need to be looked at.

First, and also the most important, is your natural body strength. If a person only has a 1 star level of strength, even if he practiced the Tian class High rank techniques, he wouldn't be able to beat a Huang class Combat Master.

If two people of the same innate strength were to battle, the one with the better technique will obviously win.

Lastly is Dou Qi Skill.

Dou Qi Skill is a special kind of skill that is used when controlling Dou Qi and in the land of Dou Qi, Dou Technique is also separated into Huang, Xuan, Di, Tian.

Dou Qi in the continent speaks for itself, but Dou qi skill is different. Almost everyone starts off with a Dou Technique class of Huang. If you wanted to learn more advance control skills, you would need to join a sect or enroll in a Dou Technique school.

Of course, there are some who, by chance, managed to learn the skills that others before have left behind, or those who have compatible Dou Techniques. For these people, their combat level might be slightly higher than normal.

Relying on these 3 aspects, you can determine who is strong and who is weak. All in all, if you managed to learn a high level Dou Technique, the benefits in the future would be enormous.

However, high level Dou Techniques are really hard to come by as a commoner. 

Those that are open to the public are normal, Huang class techniques. For those bigger clans or small sects, Xuan class techniques are the norm. 

For example, in Xiao Yan's clan, their highest level technique was only practiced by the clan leader – Lion Wind Strike. It was a wind style Xuan class Medium rank Dou Technique.

Above the Xuan class would be the Di class, but this kind of high-level techniques might only obtainable by a powerful country-like organisation.

As for the Tian class, in a hundred years, it hasn't appeared once.

However, Because of the vastness of the continent it didn't happened here doesn't mean that it haven't happened anywhere , there are bound to be cases of nameless figures who, by chance, happened upon a miracle that made them strong. Or, perhaps, there might be people who are bound by fate to discover strong techniques. In the land of Dou Qi, there is one famous sentence: If you find yourself stuck in a ditch or forsaken by the world, don't panic. Take two steps forward and maybe you'll find yourself stronger than ever before.

Of course, though this line isn't false, in the thousand years of history in the continent, there aren't many stories of people getting strong by random chance.

As a result of this, every day, there are countless individuals who try to break through and discover a new skill or technique, but instead only return with a broken hip or leg.

All in all, this continent is full of mysteries and miracles.

To access the vault of secret Dou Qi techniques, you must at least be a full-fledged Dou Zhe to meet the basic requirements. For now Xiao Yan can't do it but Yao Cheng can that why he is waiting for him.

Xiao Yan quickly stood up and made a maniacal face. He faced the sky and thought: "God damn it! Just wait when I become god I will rule this continent "

In his past life, Xiao Yan was a mediocre, average commoner. Wealth, fame and beauty seemed to run parallel to his life, just think of it but never intersecting it.

Then, when he came to this continent, Xiao Yan know that with strength he can get anything in this world .

Because of past Xiao Yan and protagonist life experiences, his spirit became much stronger than the previous Xiao Yan it will easier to become alchemist in future.

It must be known that in the Dou Qi continent, your spirit is decided upon at birth. Maybe, as you grew older, it would strengthen a slight bit, but there is no known technique to train your spirit to be stronger.

It was Xiao Yan's strong spirit that gave him his talent.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Yan finally calmed down and his face turned calm again. No matter what he think, Yao Chen haven't still awaken .His soul was more strong after xiao yan memories and his soul merged and as he aged his absorbtion of Dou Zhi Qi has become very fast. It was faster than the strongest fighter from a few years back. 

Taking another deep breath, Xiao Yan raised his hand. On his finger was a black ring of simple design his mother presented him before she passed away this rong host Yao Chen.He touched and thought" please awake and just bring my talent". 

 

 Xiao Yan quickly stood up and turned around, saying to the black figure from the woods: "Father, why have you come?"

Though his Dou Zhi Qi was only 3rd stage, his spiritual awareness was more better than most of people of his level or perhaps even better. 

"Ah ah, Yan Er. It's already quite late. Why are you still here?" From within the cluster of trees, after a moment of silence, a tender voice sounded.

The trees shaked a little and a middle-aged man jumped out, face smiling widely. His eyes were locked on his son under the moonlight.

The middle-aged man was wearing an expensive looking grey tunic. He walked with pride and dignity and his face showed it. He was the Xiao clan leader, as well as Xiao Yan's father, a 5 star Dou Shi – Xiao Zhan!

"Father, why have you not returned to rest yet?" Facing the middle-aged man, Xiao Yan asked. 

"Yan Er, are you still thinking about what happened this afternoon?" Taking a big step forward, Xiao Zhan smiled again.

"Ha ha, what's there to think about? It's temporary." Xiao Yan shaked his head and said with a smile.

"Ai…" Looking at Xiao Yan's tender face, Xiao Zhan let out a sigh not believing it and thought that he is saying this to console him said: "Yan Er, you're 15 now, aren't you?"

"Yes, father."

"Just one more year… and you have to attend the Adulthood Ceremony…" Xiao Zhan said.

"Yes, father. Only a year left." Xiao Yan replied.Yao Lao will also awaken in few day. He will start his journey to Godhod.

Then Xiao Zhan said while looking at Xiao Yan "Sorry, Yan Er. If you don't reach the Dou Zhi Qi 7th stage by next year, I can't do anything to help you, no matter how much I want to. In this clan, I'm not the sole decision maker. There's also those old geezers waiting for me to make a mistake…" 

"4 stages in 1 year? Don't worry father I will work had to achieve it " said Xiao Yan while thinking what face will father make when he exceed this level in one year because he know with Yao cheng like cheat their is no way that he will not become a Dou zhe in a year. 

Xiao Zhan knowing well Xiao Yan's position, Xiao Zhan could only answer with a sigh. He knew that 4 stages of Dou Zhi Qi in a year was extremely difficult for Xiao Yan as none know when his cultivaton will start again. He gently patted Xiao Yan's head, and smiled, saying: "It's getting quite late, you should go back and get some rest. Tomorrow, the clan has a guest and you shouldn't miss the ceremony."

"Guest? Who?" Xiao Yan asked, curiousity.

"You'll find out tomorrow." Xiao Zhan winked at the restless Xiao Yan, leaving with a big smile on his face. 

"Don't you worry, father. I'll work really hard." Xiao Yan rubbed the simple ring while raising his head and whispering.

Then Xiao Yan remembers than tomorrow Nalan Yanran will come to break their engagement without her family information. Thinking of it Xiao Yan quietly said "tomorrow will be quite dramatic day ".
