Chapter 415: Dou God's Potential
Seeing Xiao Ming's calm expression and genuine tone, Tang Zhen felt a slight relief in his heart and smiled, "Elder Xiao Ming's temperament is extraordinary. I have misunderstood you. Come with me..."
Tang Zhen stood up and led the way out of the main hall as soon as he finished speaking. Tang Huo'er quickly followed, and Xiao Ming stood up and did the same.
"The Sky Fire Three Mysterious Change is a top-secret technique of our Burning Flame Valley, so it is usually kept in the Dou Technique Pavilion within the Valley..." Tang Huo'er approached Xiao Ming and whispered to him with a smile.
Xiao Ming nodded and smiled back at her.
'Looking at him up close, he looks even more handsome!' Tang Huo'er's face flushed slightly as she looked at Xiao Ming's face so close to her own, her mind racing with countless thoughts.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin observed Tang Huo'er's blushing ears but paid little attention to it. After all, they'd seen hundreds, if not thousands of women staring at him in this manner.
After a short while, the group stopped their footsteps on a path paved with broken stones. At the end of this path, there was a building nestled among the lush trees, faintly revealing the three characters "Dou Technique Pavilion."
"This is the Dou Technique Pavilion of our Burning Flame Valley. Normally, it is prohibited for anyone to enter..." Tang Huo'er said beside Xiao Ming.
Xiao Ming nodded subtly and discreetly scanned the surrounding trees. He could keenly sense the presence of hidden auras, which were probably the guards of the pavilion.
"Follow me. The Sky Fire Three Mysterious Change is the pinnacle secret technique of our Burning Flame Valley, so you can only obtain the most complete inheritance here."
Tang Zhen waved at Xiao Ming and approached the massive building.
As the three of them arrived at the entrance of the Dou Technique Pavilion, three figures swiftly descended from the rooftop of the building and transformed into three elderly men wearing red robes. They respectfully bowed to Tang Zhen.
"Three elders, please open the Dou Technique Pavilion," Tang Zhen waved his hand and said calmly.
Upon hearing this, the three elders, whose bodies were filled with majestic aura, glanced at Xiao Ming and the others before nodding in acknowledgment. They simultaneously formed various intricate hand seals, and fiery red lights shot out from their hands, landing on the tightly closed doors of the building.
As soon as his soul power entered the crystal sphere, Xiao Ming heard a faint sound in his mind. A massive flow of information rushed in like a tidal wave, continuously flooding into his mind.
With Xiao Ming's current soul power, accepting this information was relatively effortless.
During this time, Xiao Ming was unaware that at the moment his soul power entered the crystal sphere, it erupted with a brilliant crimson radiance.
The intensity of the light caused the entire Dou Technique Pavilion to emit a faint fiery red glow.
At Xiao Ming's side, both Tang Zhen and Tang Huo'er were left dumbfounded by this sudden change.
After a moment, the two exchanged a glance, and both took in a sharp breath.
The so-called inheritance crystal sphere had a test effect during the transmission of the secret technique. If the cultivator possessed exceptional talent in cultivating the technique, it would cause the crystal sphere to emit light. Tang Huo'er had also triggered this reaction in the past, but compared to the radiance triggered by Xiao Ming at this moment, it was like the difference between a firefly and a radiant moon.
However, when they considered Xiao Ming's extraordinary talent displayed in both his cultivation realm and alchemy skills, their initial shock faded. He was already formidable, and this was merely a testament to his skill in cultivating a specific secret technique. It was not worth making a big deal about.
Tang Zhen sighed with regret. "Ah, if this young man were a disciple of our Burning Flame Valley, we might witness the emergence of a figure as astonishing as the legendary Burning Flame Ancestor."
Tang Huo'er had heard her father talk about the Burning Flame Ancestor, the founder of the Burning Flame Valley, who was only a step away from the legendary Dou God realm.
Recalling the recent rumors about Xiao Ming leading a team to annihilate the Hall of Souls' branch hall, single-handedly killing ten Dou Venerates, including a peak eighth-star Dou Venerate, and considering his strength as an eighth-tier alchemist, as well as his age of around twenty, Tang Huo'er believed that Xiao Ming could indeed be compared to the strongest figures of this era.
Or perhaps, he was the strongest among his peers in this era. After all, she hadn't encountered anyone more formidable than him among people of the same age.
However, Tang Zhen and Tang Huo'er were unaware that Xiao Ming was currently capable of matching a one-star Dou Saint.
If they knew, they would undoubtedly declare Xiao Ming to have the potential to become a Dou God.
