Battle Through The Heavens: Domination of The Ancient God.

Curiously, Xiao Ning circulated his Dou Qi through the black-gold colored Qi Pathway, and the result stunned him. 

As his Dou Qi passed through, it became more refined and potent. His green-gold colored Dou Qi also contained a tinge of black in it. 

Furthermore, Xiao Ning discovered that this Qi Pathway was more durable and could contain twice the amount of Dou Qi that his other Qi Pathways could hold. 

He began to examine the reason for its existence but couldn't find a clue until Xiao Ning noticed that the drop of blood present in his Qi Cyclone disappeared. 

His instinct told him that the change in his Qi Pathway was somehow related to the disappearance of the drop of blood. 

'In any case, I am not at a loss,' Xiao Ning comforted himself; although, he couldn't unveil all the mysteries revolving around the unique Qi Pathway. Still, its role of refining the Dou Qi made Xiao Ning content. 

Shaking his head, Xiao Ning no longer paid attention to his Qi Pathways and examined other changes in his body. 

He became excited after looking at the golden spots in his flesh. Xiao Ning had already tasted the benefits of having a robust physique and looked forward to the changes brought by the transformation of his muscles. 

Xiao Ning's instinct told him that it was not all, and somehow his body had changed. 

His powerful mental strength swept through every cell of his body to determine the change, and the result shocked him. 

Xiao Ning felt that his bones and muscles had changed. The ordinary white skeleton became jade-colored, and his flesh glowed in white sheen.

A name appeared in his mind, 'Ice Muscle Jade Bone,' and his body trembled in excitement. 

'How could I have unique physique?' A question popped up in his mind. Xiao Ning carefully pondered; one after another, the scenes of the last twenty years appeared in his mind. 

 He shook his head, Xiao Ning was sure that he was not born with it and the only variable was 'Bone Chilling Flame.' After arriving at this conclusion, he laughed; even for Xiao Ning, this result was unexpected. 

Xiao Ning couldn't hold back his curiosity and inspired his physique, and his skin glowed with a white sheen. At the same time, his temperament changed. Moreover, his aura disappeared as if Xiao Ning was not present here. 

Instinctively, Xiao Ning tried to absorb the natural energy in his surroundings. 

As he did, natural energy in the surroundings enveloped him and swiftly entered his body. After a moment, Xiao Ning stopped swallowing the energy and opened his eyes. 

The shock in his eyes did not disappear, and he himself began to doubt whether or not what had just happened was real or not. 

Xiao Ning pinched his thigh, and the pain made him realize that everything is real and he is not dreaming. 

The next second, tears appeared in his eyes, and he started laughing loudly. No one knew the bitterness he carried in his heart. 

Xiao Ning couldn't help but recall the past. While he may not be a genius like Xiao Yan but he was not far off. Still, he couldn't break through from 8-star Dou Disciple to 9-star Dou Disciple. 

If Xiao Ning didn't know the plot, he would have doubted whether some old ghost similar to Yao Lao sucked his Dou Qi. After a few years, he gave up. 

It was only after hearing Na Lan Yan Ran's words at Xiao Clan's meeting that Xiao Ning's accumulated anger broke out, and he stood up for Xiao Yan. 

Maybe it was destiny or luck, Xiao Ning broke through 9-star Dou Disciple, and his strength started rising. After that, he relied on the extraordinariness of the mysterious Qi Method 'Battle Budha Art' for his current achievement. 

Even though his efforts were no less than others, yet he was only an ordinary person. Even with the help of 'Battle Budha Art,' Xiao Ning could only helplessly watch Xiao Yan surpassing him in the future. 

It didn't mean that Xiao Ning's 'Battle Budha Art' is inferior to Xiao Yan's 'Flame Mantra;' instead, it is even more mysterious. Only Xiao Ning's qualifications are not enough to let him display its true power. 

Yet, 'Ice Muscle Jade Bone' physique happened to make up for his innate defect. 

After inspiring his physique, Xiao Ning discovered that his speed of swallowing energy was no less than Xiao Yan's. It could only mean one thing that 'Ice Muscle Jade Bone' greatly enhanced his talent. 

Now, Xiao Ning's talent is on par with Xiao Yan's; moreover, with the help of 'Battle Budha Art,' his strength crushes anyone in the same realm. 

How could this change not shock him? 

Even though he knew the plot, Xiao Ning wasn't sure about his future, but now an improvement of his talent gives him enough confidence. 

Xiao Ning's laughter shook the entire valley, and it took him a while to regain his composure. 

'Now that we are on the same starting line, let's see who dominates whom,' Xiao Ning thought in his mind. 

At the same time, he felt refreshed, his senses sharpened; Xiao Ning felt as if an invisible shackle broke, and his mental strength soared. 

"Hahaha! So it turned out to be this," Xiao Ning heartily laughed as he estimated that his mental strength soared to the rank of 4-star alchemist. 

Only now did he understood that unknowingly Xiao Yan had become his heart demon. If it were not for certain coincidences, Xiao Ning would have never known about it, let alone break from it. 

"Fortunately, I realized it early," Xiao Ning wiped off the sweat on his forehead and muttered. 

"What happened?" At this moment, Xiao Ning heard a soft voice. 

He turned around and saw sleepy Xi Yian looking at him like watching a clown. 

Xiao Ning smiled after seeing her awake and ignored her stare. The next moment, he appeared in front of her, and before she could react, Xiao Ning kissed her. 

"Idiot!" Xiao Xi Yian's lovely face turned red; she completely woke up after this sneak attack and pushed him away. She mumbled a few words and turned around to leave quickly. 

Xiao Ning ignored her expressions, and before she could leave, he bent down and picked her up. "Let me make it up to you," he softly whispered in her ear. 

Xi Yian was stunned by his actions, and when she was about to scold him, she felt a warm breath on her ear and heard Xiao Ning's words. 

"Un!" Her eyes turned red, and she softly hummed in response.
