Battle Through The Heavens Book 1

Chapter 108 Octane Blast's Hidden Force

A lonely crescent moon hung in the pitch black night as its faint, cool, light blanketed the vast land.

Within the pitch dark forest, a weak bonfire danced gracefully, bringing threads of warm light to the quiet and dark night.

Beside the bonfire, a young man was leaning against a tree trunk and absent-minded prodded the fire with the fire poker in his hand.

Including today, it has already been five days since Xiao Yan left Wu Tan City. Most of the initial freshness had faded along his lonely journey. A faint feeling of homesickness instead began to slowly climb into the young man's heart.

After randomly placing another piece of firewood into the flame, causing it to once again burn brightly, Xiao Yan rested his chin on his palm and lazily said, "Teacher, where exactly are we going?"

"The Magic Beast Mountain Range," An aged voice said from within the ring on his finger.

"I thought that we could also enter the Magic Beast Mountain Range from near Wu Tan City. Why do we have to travel so far?"

"We are on the eastern side of the Magic Beast Mountain Range. By passing straight through here, we can reach Tagger Desert. That is the final destination for out training." Yao Lao said

"Passing straight through the Magic Beast Mountain Range?" The corner of Xiao Yan's mouth opened as he laughed dryly: "My current strength will only allow me handle some of the younger Magic Beasts. At the very most, I can only roam around its edge. Isn't it impossible to cut through the mountain range?"

"Only by being in a dangerous place can one's talent truly erupt." Yao Lao said indifferently, "I plan to help you advance to a Dou Shi within the Magic Beast Mountain Range."

"Uh... Then I have to stay in the Magic Beast Mountain Range throughout my training period?" Hearing the proclamation, Xiao Yan's face immediately turned bitter.

"I estimate that it will take a year. For Tthe remaining half a year, you need to to go and train in the Tagger Desert."

"Tagger Desert?" Xiao Yan shook his head as he muttered to himself. Forget it. In any case, he had Yao Lao by his side to protect him. His teacher would not actually let him be eaten by a Magic Beast... right?

Rubbing his palm against his chin, Xiao Yan licked his lips and asked with a smile, "Teacher... what about the Di Tier Dou Technique?"

"You little rascal. Don't you feel irritated bringing it up a couple of times everyday?"

Listening to Xiao Yan repeating the same question, Yao Lao felt something between a smile and tears. He helplessly shook his head and became silent. Finally, he said: "After going into the Magic Beast Mountain Range, I will teach you the Di Tier Dou Technique. There are far too many eyes outside. If someone were to accidentally see it, there might be some trouble."

Hearing that it would be delayed by another few days. Xiao Yan despondently nodded his head.

"Look at your good for nothing manners. Don't you understand the meaning of 'Biting off more than you can chew'? Your 'Vacuum Hand' and 'Fire Palm' have indeed been trained till they have reached perfection but your 'Octane Blast' has barely even scratched the surface." Seeing the despondent Xiao Yan, Yao Lao could not help but reprove him.

"Just scratching the surface? How can that be? The last time against Jia Lie Ao, I used 'Octane Blast' and broke his arm." Hearing Yao Lao's reprimand, Xiao Yan muttered with dissatisfaction.

"Ha ha, correct. You may have broken his arm, however did not your leg become totally numb in the process? If was not for you catching Jia Lie Ao off guard, at best your fight would've ended in a draw."
