In the night sky, Xiao Yan's body sat cross-legged without moving, much like an old monk meditating.
As Xiao Yan sat cross-legged in this manner, the 'Flame Mantra' Qi Method within his body began to circulate. Soon after, a special suction force gradually surged out from the vortex within Xiao Yan's body. Waves of mottled natural energy appeared to be attracted by something as they gathered toward Xiao Yan.
Under this kind of slow training, the aura within Xiao Yan's body was also slowly rising at a speed that was nearly undetectable.
This was because the Dou Qi that he had exhausted during the fight with those few people during the day was swiftly recovering in the night. In less than two hours, the aura within Xiao Yan's body had once again recovered to its peak.
Xiao Yan's heart was completely calm without any ripples.
His breathing had become slow and orderly. Gradually, the circulating 'Flame Mantra' Qi Method within his body also gradually stopped.
His condition had completely recovered to its peak. Under this kind of condition, even a seven star Dou Di would not be able to easily injure Xiao Yan.
"Hu hu …"
In the dark night, Xiao Yan appeared to have felt the wind blowing toward him. The wind was filled with a dark aura and was extremely cold. When it brushed past Xiao Yan's body, it was as light as a thread of gauze. At the same time, it was also like a thin blade that violently cut across Xiao Yan's entire body.
"Hiss …"
Although he was clearly not injured, Xiao Yan appeared to have suffered some kind of torture. His heart suddenly tightened and the muscles all over his body involuntarily tensed up. It was as though he wanted to resist this cold wind. However, his tightly shut eyes still did not open. His face was also expressionless. All the pain was actually just the feeling in the bottom of Xiao Yan's heart.
At this moment, Xiao Yan seemed to have entered a special state …
"Hu hu hu …"
In the dark night, the storm seemed to have become even more violent. The whistling sound of the wind sounded beside Xiao Yan's ears, but it was as sharp as the screams of ghosts. Invisible wind blades mercilessly cut across Xiao Yan's body. Xiao Yan tightly clenched his teeth in his heart as he endured the pain that he should not have felt.
What was going on?
How could a mere chilly wind cause him such pain? Why?!
Xiao Yan was extremely puzzled. This was the weakest energy in the world, how could it hurt him?
Gusts of chilly wind reverberated endlessly in Xiao Yan's heart, fiercely slamming into his defenseless soul. At this moment, Xiao Yan only felt that all his defenses were futile.
Xiao Yan desperately tried to resist the cold wind, but in the end, all he got was a merciless whipping. Xiao Yan felt heart-wrenching pain all over his body. At a certain point, Xiao Yan no longer had the strength to resist. He could only run with the wind in an attempt to reduce the damage that the cold wind brought to him.
Unexpectedly, when Xiao Yan turned and ran in the direction of the chilly wind, Xiao Yan only felt that his speed had increased a lot in an instant. His steps were like a ghost. When he turned his head to look, the chilly wind seemed to have condensed into a substance, like a black wave, chasing after Xiao Yan.
Aware of this, Xiao Yan's heart tightened. He hurriedly ran away, his heart was filled with fear. He seemed to have never encountered such a situation.
Was this the power of this world?!
In front of it, the so-called human power, fighting spirit, and soul were nothing. After all, even human beings were just a speck of dust in this world!
Xiao Yan ran forward frantically. The faster his feet moved, the stronger the chilly wind behind him. The latter seemed to always tacitly keep a certain distance from Xiao Yan. When Xiao Yan was slow, the latter was slow. When Xiao Yan was fast, the latter was fast too.
In this way, rather than saying that the chilly wind was chasing after Xiao Yan, it would be better to say that the chilly wind was following Xiao Yan's footsteps.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, Xiao Yan's tightly shut eyes suddenly opened. His eyes were wide as he stared at the empty pitch-black night sky in front of him.
"Hu …"
Immediately after, the chilly wind blew past Xiao Yan's body. This time, Xiao Yan did not feel any pain. On the contrary, he seemed to have faintly sensed something.
The moment the chilly wind blew past Xiao Yan's body, there seemed to be an inexplicable power in the wind that brushed past Xiao Yan's body. That power existed for an extremely short period of time, causing Xiao Yan to be unable to capture it.
"That is …"
Xiao Yan's heart froze for a moment. Although that power seemed ethereal, he believed that it was not impossible to capture it. He only needed to grasp the right timing. Moreover, the feeling that the power gave Xiao Yan was extremely similar to the invisible power that Xiao Yan had felt before. He did not know if Xiao Yan would be able to release such a ferocious power if he was able to capture this aura.
If he could control the power of the world, it would undoubtedly cause Xiao Yan's overall fighting strength to greatly increase!
Immediately after, another chilly wind blew past …
"Hu …"
Xiao Yan held his breath and concentrated, using his mind to feel the energy contained within the chilly wind.
The energy only existed for a short moment. If he wanted to capture it, Xiao Yan had to be fast, accurate and ruthless!
If he could capture one of the three, it would not be difficult to use it to increase his strength.
"Huff huff huff huff …"
Xiao Yan seemed to have underestimated the difficulty involved in this. Although he could feel the strange power contained within the chilly wind every time, the time that power appeared was extremely short. Even with Xiao Yan's temperament, every time he made a move, there was still a huge difference in the time it took.
Ten times, twenty times, thirty times …
In less than a quarter of an hour, Xiao Yan had already made a move over a hundred times. However, every time, he returned empty-handed. That power seemed to be alive. No matter how Xiao Yan grasped the time in his heart, every time Xiao Yan was about to successfully capture it, it would always use an extremely ingenious method to escape from Xiao Yan's fingertips …
"Damn it! What the hell is going on? Why? I have clearly calculated every time to make a move. I can clearly catch it, but why is it that every time … hiss … wait, I … calculated the time … "
Just as Xiao Yan was feeling disappointed over the hundreds of failures in his heart, Xiao Yan suddenly seemed to have thought of something.
He remembered that just now, in that strange state, he and the chilly wind behind him maintained the appearance of advancing and retreating together.
When Xiao Yan advanced, the chilly wind advanced. When Xiao Yan retreated, the chilly wind also … retreated!
In other words, the key to whether or not he could catch that wisp of energy did not depend on whether Xiao Yan made a move or not, but on the thoughts in his heart. As long as Xiao Yan's heart was free of distractions, that wisp of energy would naturally stay in front of Xiao Yan!
With such thoughts in his heart, Xiao Yan boldly made an attempt.
"Huff …"
The chilly wind blew. This time, Xiao Yan completely relaxed his mind and threw all the thoughts in his heart to the back of his mind. The bottom of his heart was calm, like a deep pool, calm and deep, without any waves.
The chilly wind blew past …
Xiao Yan extended his hand to grab it. He did not deliberately feel the existence of that energy, leaving behind a blank space in his palm. It was as if that energy had really been absorbed into Xiao Yan's palm.
Immediately, the instant Xiao Yan's five fingers closed, Xiao Yan's heart moved, and his tightly clenched palm suddenly trembled. After which, Xiao Yan clearly felt a formless energy suddenly surge into his body.
"Success!"
