Chapter 144: Perfecting His Own Combat Technique! Extreme Yang Pill!

Although Xiao Ze left the empire's capital, Ya Fei remained with the Mittel family. She became very popular, to the point where even the elders greeted her with a smile. After all, if she could attract a powerful Dou Huang and a fifth-level alchemist, claiming to be an old friend, the relationship couldn't be simple.

The elders envied her, thinking that with such support, Ya Fei would quickly rise within the Mittel family. Additionally, Ya Fei was already quite capable on her own. With a combination of relationships and abilities, how could she not rise rapidly?

Ya Fei did not become complacent and continued to strive to develop her own power. She also began to focus on collecting items for alchemists, such as herbs and pill recipes... All of this could help Xiao Ze.

After some time, a dark blue beam of light descended among the mountains, its presence causing nearby magical beasts to retreat in fear. After several days of travel, Xiao Ze was somewhat dusty.

"I'll take this time to perfect the combat technique I created earlier: the Great Ocean Palm."

"Although I created it hastily in combat, with the ocean's power as its core and using energy structure and condensation, the idea is correct."

As he spoke, Xiao Ze's combat energy concentrated in his palm. Over time, a dark blue palm mark began to grow in his hand. When it grew over a meter, the energy became unstable. Xiao Ze's face changed slightly, and he quickly stopped the flow of energy.

It seems that even a combat technique based on pure force has a limit. You can't just introduce as much ocean power as you want. The crucial point is energy condensation and structure. As the ocean's power increases, the demands for energy condensation and structure also increase. If you try to increase the energy uncontrollably, the energy will disperse, and the resulting attack will be less effective than a normal one.

Xiao Ze suppressed the uncontrolled energy and launched it against the mountain. With a deafening crash, cracks appeared on the mountain wall. Looking at the half-collapsed mountain, Xiao Ze nodded in satisfaction. The power wasn't bad.

"To continue improving this combat technique, I need to work more on the energy condensation and structure."

"Maybe when Xun Er successfully conquers the Golden Emperor Flame and practices the Imperial Seal Technique, the tenfold feedback will greatly enhance my energy condensation and structure capacity."

"After all, the marvel of the Imperial Seal Technique is shown in how it can cause spatial fluctuations just by forming seals, which is amazing!"

"If I could obtain the tenfold feedback from the Imperial Seal Technique, my Great Ocean Palm could be perfected even further!"

Xiao Ze checked the feedback from Xiao Xun Er and found nothing about the Golden Emperor Flame. He could only shake his head. However, Xun Er was constantly improving her strength. It seemed that the situation wasn't bad.

Xun Er had left him the Imperial Seal Technique, which he had already reviewed. However, he had only given it a general look and hadn't practiced it. Xun Er had left a brief message in the Imperial Seal Technique: "Brother Xiao Ze, Xun Er awaits you."

Xiao Ze smiled, remembering the days he spent with Xun Er. He looked for another mountain to settle on since the previous one was half-collapsed.

"I wonder how far the Great Ocean Palm can grow in the future."

"With the ocean's power as its core, the Great Ocean Palm can strengthen as I become stronger."

"That's why the Phantom Ocean Pearl is so coveted, even by saints, because it fundamentally changes the combat energy system, the combat energy itself!"

Xiao Ze murmured to himself, looking at his work: the half-collapsed mountain. Now, as a Dou Huang, he had to exert great effort to cause such destruction. But when he becomes a Dou Zun or even a Dou Sheng, just a drop of water with ocean power could destroy an entire mountain.

"The Phantom Ocean Pearl is truly invaluable."

After resting for a while, Xiao Ze continued on his way. Traveling alone, he didn't limit his speed, using his Purple Cloud Wings along with his Combat Energy Wings to advance at full speed. Only when the black soil marking the region of the Black-Corner Domain appeared did he slow down.

"The Black-Corner Domain is truly a place of wickedness in the northwest continent. Every day, many people die here, but even more people enter."

"These people may have committed crimes in other countries or offended certain forces. Whatever the reason, they are driven to come to the Black-Corner Domain."

"It's a place full of vitality and competition."

Seeing the scene, Xiao Ze couldn't help but feel excited. When he left the Black-Corner Domain, he and Xiao Yi Xian had plundered some forces. Now he could do it again. This made him very happy.

In any city, Xiao Ze gathered information and headed to the most powerful force in the city. He rescued some unfortunate people and, of course, obtained a rich reward. Thus, Xiao Ze walked and plundered through the Black-Corner Domain, entering cities and plundering at will. However, he wasn't too harsh and focused on the strongest forces in each city. Although these weren't things he valued much, they were useful for the development of the Xiao family.

In a small city, Xiao Ze broke the neck of a low-level Dou Wang.

"A small city with a Dou Wang… if he can't compete with the strong in big cities, at least he should try in medium-sized cities. Why come to a small city to dominate?"

Xiao Ze took the Dou Wang's storage ring and entered the mansion, surprised. Wow, what a life of luxury! Pools of wine and forests of meat. In the pool full of wine were many good-looking naked women. Seeing Xiao Ze enter, the women shrank into the other corner of the pool, sinking into the wine. They didn't dare to scream, only looking at Xiao Ze with fear.

"Leave, it's better for you to abandon this place of wickedness."

Xiao Ze gestured to them and then went to plunder another place. When he finished, the women had already dressed and were kneeling in front of him.

"Thank you for saving us, but we don't know where to go. We can't leave the Black-Corner Domain… Please help us."

Xiao Ze remained silent for a moment and then said, "It's not far from Jia Nan Academy. Try to seek refuge there, or live in Jia Nan City."

Shortly after, Xiao Ze watched as the disguised women walked away. When they disappeared from his sight, he took out a scroll from his storage ring.

"How strange to find something good, a level six pill recipe!"

"The Extreme Yang Pill… although it's a pill, it's actually more like a Buddha Fury Lotus Bomb."

"Making it has its uses since its power is equivalent to the self-destruction of a Dou Huang."

"It seemed that Dou Wang had found this recipe on an expedition. If he had offered it to Han Feng, he might have survived, but instead, he hid in this small city…"

Xiao Ze shook his head and headed to Jia Nan Academy.
