Xiao Yan, at the 9-Star Great Battlemaster level, had mastered several battle techniques.
A Heavenly Fire Tri-Phase Transformation plus a Flame Splitting Wave Ruler, or directly using the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire and Purple Fire to form a Buddha's Wrath Fire Lotus, could blow the Ice Snake to pieces.
He didn't need to rely on any external forces.
It could only be said that he still lacked development.
Su Yun didn't lose heart.
Bread will come, milk will come, everything will come!
Survive! Survival is the way to go!
With this thought, Su Yun continued to search for Body Strengthening Battle Techniques.
After a while, Su Yun opened his eyes and found what he was looking for.
Advanced Profound Rank Battle Technique: Great Ox Strength!
A battle technique that mimics the movements of the Great Ox, combined with a Medicinal Bath, to comprehensively enhance physical strength!
Su Yun grinned. Not bad, it's you I want.
"System, fuse the Great Ox Strength with me!"
"Ding, a fusion plan has been detected. It requires the additional consumption of three fourth-rank Beast Cores. Do you wish to proceed with the consumption?"
This statement left Su Yun speechless.
Su Yun's expression stiffened, and he asked again to confirm that he hadn't heard wrong.
The Great Ox Strength required the consumption of three fourth-rank Beast Cores!
Was it because it was a Body Strengthening Battle Technique?
A realization flashed through Su Yun's mind.
"Indeed, when I previously tested the Beast Core consumption at different levels, I never considered that Body Strengthening Battle Techniques would require additional Beast Cores.
I was being too presumptuous."
A bitter smile flashed across Su Yun's face.
Indeed, Body Strengthening Battle Techniques were different from ordinary battle techniques, directly enhancing the body, so it made sense that they would require more energy.
It seemed that his exploration of the System's functions was still lacking.
Su Yun shook his head and focused his mind on the System space, searching for whether there were enough fourth-rank Beast Cores left.
In no time, Su Yun looked at the remaining three fourth-rank Beast Cores and felt a bitter taste in his heart.
It seemed that after breaking through, he would have to go on a collection run.
The Great Ox Strength had drained his resources.
Without hesitation, Su Yun decided not to save the Beast Cores. Transforming them into his own strength was the most important thing, and he could always buy more later.
He instructed the System again.
"System, fuse the Great Ox Strength with me!"
"Ding, a fusion plan has been detected. It requires the additional consumption of three fourth-rank Beast Cores. Do you wish to proceed with the consumption?"
"Consume!"
At Su Yun's command, the three fourth-rank Beast Cores in the System space immediately vanished, and a strange energy flowed through Su Yun's entire body.
His physical strength gradually increased.
Su Yun closed his eyes, a hint of pain flashing across his face.
His muscles were constantly tearing and healing. As the energy flowed, every inch of his muscles grew stronger.
After some time, Su Yun's clothes were completely drenched in sweat.
The energy gradually dissipated over time.
Su Yun lay weakly on the ground, feeling a surge of strength throughout his body, but at the same time, he was completely exhausted and didn't want to move a muscle.
Su Yun rested for a while, then struggled to crawl into the bathroom.
After cleaning up, Su Yun sighed.
It was better when the Little Medical Fairy was around. Not only would she wash his clothes for him, but she would also come in to help him scrub his back, gently caressing his skin with her delicate hands, wiping every inch clean.
After this ordeal, Su Yun no longer had the immediate urge to break through.
Breaking through was not a game; it required adjusting one's state. Forcibly breaking through in an extremely fatigued state was no different from courting death.
After a night's rest, Su Yun woke up, feeling that he had successfully comprehended the Advanced Heaven Rank Battle Technique: Refreshing Spirit and Clear Qi!
Feeling the strength in his body, Su Yun went to the courtyard.
He threw a punch, and a fierce sound of air splitting echoed through the courtyard.
Seeing this, Su Yun raised an eyebrow. Goodness.
Just now, he hadn't even mobilized any battle aura within his body; it was purely the strength of his physical body.
His physical strength was probably comparable to that of a fourth-rank magical beast now.
Su Yun moved around in the courtyard for a while, then nodded in satisfaction.
Back in his room, Su Yun took out the fourth-rank elixir he had refined yesterday, which was used to absorb the Purple Fire, and the Purple Fire itself.
Breaking through to Spirit Fighter would happen today!
Su Yun swallowed the fourth-rank elixir in one go.
As the medicinal power took effect, a thin layer of ice covered his entire body's meridians.
Through his inner vision, Su Yun sensed the state of his body's meridians and confirmed that the medicinal power had fully taken effect.
He immediately circulated his battle aura, enveloping his right hand, and grabbed the Purple Fire seed.
A sensation of intense heat and burning arose in his palm.
However, his physical body, strengthened by the Great Ox Strength and protected by his battle aura, withstood the Purple Fire without any significant damage.
Su Yun swallowed the Purple Fire seed into his abdomen.
The Purple Fire began to spread through his meridians, attempting to burn them. At this point, the ice layer's effect became evident, resisting the heat of the Purple Fire and protecting his meridians from being burned.
Su Yun sensed the situation in his meridians and immediately mobilized his battle aura to surround the Purple Fire seed.
His battle aura and the Purple Fire seed clashed within his meridians, turning his body into a battlefield.
After a period of stalemate, Su Yun's battle aura began to gain the upper hand.
The Purple Fire was isolated and unable to receive any further support, while Su Yun could continue to circulate his battle aura.
Su Yun drove the rampant Purple Fire back to the seed, enveloped it with his battle aura, and began moving it toward his dantian.
In a moment, it reached his dantian. Su Yun began to refine the Purple Fire using the Burning Cold Technique.
His Soul Power also joined in, converging at the dantian, where the Purple Fire was still resisting stubbornly.
However, it was already at a disadvantage against Su Yun's battle aura, let alone with the addition of his Soul Power.
After a long time, the Purple Fire in Su Yun's dantian calmed down, as if it had acknowledged its master.
The refinement of the Purple Fire seed was successful!
At the same time, a massive surge of energy spread from Su Yun's dantian.
Su Yun didn't relax; he had been waiting for this moment.
His battle aura began to interact with the energy, circulating the technique to refine the energy and break through the bottleneck!
As the battle aura and energy clashed, the bottleneck began to loosen. After dozens of impacts, the bottleneck finally developed cracks.
Su Yun's heart leaped with joy, but he quickly regained his composure. It wasn't time to celebrate yet.
With the appearance of the cracks, it became much easier. After a few more impacts, the bottleneck shattered completely, and the battle aura surged like a flood, spreading throughout his body.
At the same time, the energy of the world converged on Su Yun.
Spirit Fighter, achieved!
He didn't open his eyes immediately; his realm was still unstable after breaking through.
After some time, Su Yun's aura began to stabilize.
Finally, he opened his eyes, and the abundant battle aura within him made him burst into laughter.
"Hahaha..."
Calming his excitement, Su Yun extended his hand, and a long sword formed from battle aura appeared in his hand.
Battle aura transforming into objects—such was the terrifying power of a Spirit Fighter!
