Btth: Second chance of Xiao yan

The years flew by, and Xiao Yan's path of cultivation had become nothing short of extraordinary. From the age of 3 to 11, he had undergone changes that no one had ever imagined. His body had been refined through the Earth Spirit Milk, and his cultivation system, enhanced by the 10-fold cultivation ability, was advancing at an unbelievable rate. By the time he reached the age of 11, Xiao Yan had already broken through the ordinary limits of cultivation and achieved the peak of the Dou Spirit realm.

At the age of 3, Xiao Yan's life had already been marked by destiny. He was no longer the simple child that he appeared to be. His memories of his past life awakened, and with them, the knowledge of cultivation far beyond his years. The tenfold cultivation system gave him an edge that no one could match. His innate potential combined with his newly acquired knowledge allowed him to begin cultivating at a pace that astounded everyone around him.

By the time he reached 4 years old, Xiao Yan had already begun his serious cultivation under the guidance of the academy. His body, strengthened by the Earth Spirit Milk, was like a vessel that could contain vast amounts of Qi without breaking down. The first breakthrough came when he reached the Dou Qi realm, far earlier than anyone could have predicted for someone his age.

At 5, his affinity with fire had deepened, and his flames were more than just tools of destruction—they were manifestations of his will. Xiao Yan's flames could heal, refine, and purify, all with the same power that could reduce anything to ashes. At this point, his control over the Flame Manipulation technique had reached a level far beyond any child, and he had already begun to refine his martial skills, adding strength and precision to his attacks.

Xiao Yan's life from ages 6 to 8 was marked by countless trials. His cultivation continued to grow at an extraordinary rate, and with it, his reputation spread. At the age of 6, Xiao Yan was already capable of taking on missions outside the academy to test his strength. The first of these missions was a rescue mission in a nearby village plagued by rogue cultivators. While most of the senior academy members failed to return from the mission, Xiao Yan, despite his age, took it upon himself to eliminate the threat.

With his mastery of the Flame Manipulation technique and the Earth Spirit Milk-enhanced body, Xiao Yan easily defeated the rogue cultivators and saved the village. His flames, burning with an intensity that could rival the greatest cultivators, made him a figure of awe.

At age 7, Xiao Yan's growth had reached new heights. During a trip to a remote mountain range, he discovered an ancient ruin hidden beneath the earth. Inside, he found a Dragon Crystal, a rare artifact capable of amplifying spiritual energy. With his tenfold cultivation system, Xiao Yan absorbed the power of the crystal in a matter of days, further accelerating his path. This artifact helped him further refine his connection to the fire element, allowing him to call forth flames of immense power and precision.

By age 8, Xiao Yan had mastered the art of spiritual flame fusion. He could create flames infused with spiritual energy, making his attacks not only destructive but also unpredictable and devastating. He was now seen as a prodigy, even among the strongest elders of the academy.

By the time Xiao Yan reached age 9, he had entered a phase where his cultivation surpassed what most would expect of a person his age. The combination of his Earth Spirit Milk-enhanced body and the tenfold cultivation ability allowed him to absorb energy at an astonishing rate. He was now capable of refining his Qi and Dou Qi at a speed that would normally take decades for others to reach.

Xiao Yan's flames had evolved during these years. His signature Skyfire technique had gained unimaginable power, and he could now manipulate multiple flame types simultaneously. His combat prowess had reached a level where he could take on Dou Zun experts without breaking a sweat. But Xiao Yan was not content with just this level of strength. His focus was on advancing further.

At the age of 10, Xiao Yan broke through to the Dou Ling realm, an achievement that most cultivators could only dream of. He continued to meditate and cultivate with single-minded focus, seeking to reach the next level. It was during these years that he encountered his first true test—a battle with an ancient magical beast, the Heavenly Beast.

The creature was powerful, with dark energy that could block Xiao Yan's flames, but Xiao Yan's growth had reached a level where his mastery of the fire element allowed him to counter the beast's magic. He fought relentlessly, using his flames not only to attack but also to forge barriers of protection around himself. After a long and difficult battle, Xiao Yan emerged victorious, and his victory granted him further insights into controlling the most powerful flames.

By the time Xiao Yan turned 11, he was ready for his next breakthrough. With his flames now able to consume and destroy with ease, he turned his focus inward, meditating to strengthen his spiritual energy. For the first time, Xiao Yan felt the Qi in his body align perfectly with his will.

At 11 years old, Xiao Yan broke through to the Dou Spirit realm, a level where the cultivator's flames could now embody their very soul. The process of reaching this level was not easy. It required Xiao Yan to master both the physical and spiritual aspects of cultivation, connecting deeply with the essence of fire and his own Qi.

The breakthrough was an excruciating process, but when Xiao Yan emerged on the other side, his power had grown exponentially. His flames were now not just controlled but woven into his very spirit. This allowed him to do things that were previously unimaginable: he could now create a Spirit Flame—a flame that could purify anything it touched, from enemies to toxins. His spiritual energy had reached a level where he could summon flames capable of altering the environment itself.

Xiao Yan's mastery of flame had reached its pinnacle, and with it, his cultivation was now in the Dou Spirit realm. His physical strength was beyond that of even many Dou Zun experts, and his flames had become an extension of his being. No longer a child, Xiao Yan had transformed into one of the youngest Dou Spirit cultivators in history.
