Battle Through the Heavens

A faint     

white-colored fog spread over the swamp that was covered by tiny,     

emerald-green grass blades. A gentle wind blew over and the white fog     

surged slightly. Finally, it followed the wind as it surged up toward     

the sky, causing the swamp to become much clearer.    

“Chi!”    

A     

slight ‘chi chi’ sound suddenly sounded within the calm swamp. Not long     

after the sound appeared, a black human figure suddenly flashed over,     

carrying a silver-colored, bright glow. Each time his footsteps landed     

on the swamp, the lightning that repeatedly stretched out and appeared     

would cause the mud within the swamp to begin to boil just like boiling     

water. That ‘chi chi’ sound was also emitted from the contact.    

The     

speed of the black shadow was extremely frightening. As he ran, he     

directly gouged out a two foot wide gully within the swamp. It was a     

long while later before this long gully was restored to its original     

form by the creeping of the swamp. Behind the person, a large group of     

closely packed black-colored, poisonous snakes repeatedly broke through     

the water. They would widen their savage mouths and numerous     

stench-filled water arrows would create a sharp wind that shot viciously     

at the person’s back. However, it was obvious that the speed of these     

water arrows were far inferior to the quick movement of the human     

figure. Therefore, not a single arrow managed to hit the body of the     

human figure.    

“Boom!”    

The swiftly rushing human figure     

suddenly came to a stop. His feet twisted slightly and his body was     

inclined into a strange arc. After which, he shot explosively into the     

sky under a deep sound. His feet immediately shook, and he stayed in     

mid-air in this manner without relying on any objects!    

Although     

the black figure could maintain his act of stopping in mid-air for less     

than ten seconds, an outsider would definitely be completely shocked if     

he or she were to see this. Staying in mid-air for a short while without     

the help of Dou Qi Wings or some other object would require at least     

the strength of a Dou Huang. Only if one became an extremely strong Dou     

Zong would one possess the ability of staying in mid-air for a long     

time.    

After the body of the black figure paused for a couple of     

seconds in mid-air, a silver glow flashed from under his feet. His body     

twisted and he appeared on a large tree over ten meters away from his     

original point with a ‘suo’ sound. If part of a vague black line was not     

still visible in the air, one would think that this speed had already     

broken through the resistance of the air and reached the frightening     

stage of teleporting.    

“Ha ha, good. It is worthy of being a Di     

class Agility Dou Technique. This speed is indeed smooth and fast!” A     

surprised laugh sounded as the feet of the black figure landed steadily     

on a tree branch.    

“This ‘Three Thousand Lightning Movement’ is     

divided into three levels. Lightning Flash, Instant Lightning, and Three     

Thousand Lightning… When one practices until the final level, the realm     

of the ‘Three Thousand Lightning,’ one will be completely silent while     

one crosses a certain space. It is basically no different than     

teleporting. That kind of speed is something that even an elite Dou Zong     

would not dare to underestimate. Just look at you now. You are no     

different than a lustful bull plowing the field as he rushes over.     

Forget about Three Thousand Lightning, it is likely that you have not     

even truly entered the first level of Lightning Flash.” Yao Lao’s figure     

slowly drifted on a tree branch as he faintly spoke while glancing at     

Xiao Yan, who had an excitement-filled face.    

Xiao Yan could not     

help but roll his eyes when his enthusiasm was dampened by Yao Lao in     

this manner. He himself felt that it was quite good. The speed earlier     

was something that the ‘Explosive Steps’ would not be able to reach even     

if it was displayed at its peak. After having only practiced the ‘Three     

Thousand Lightning Movement’ for only three days and already having     

this success, was that not considered not bad?    

“You should take a     

look under your feet…” Yao Lao involuntarily shook his head when he saw     

Xiao Yan’s manner as he helplessly chided.    

Xiao Yan lowered his     

head when he heard this. The corner of his mouth immediately twitched.     

He could see that his feet were actually already covered with mud. The     

mud was sticky and thick with some grass stuck to it.    

“The ‘Three     

Thousand Lightning Movement’ is as quiet as rock and moves as swift as     

lightning. It does not request for beauty and only desires surprise,     

borrowing it to hurt the enemy.” Yao Lao said faintly, “However, look at     

the movement that you have created earlier. Your body is still over a     

hundred meters away, but the sound had already been transmitted over. It     

clearly does not match the purpose of practicing the ‘Three Thousand     

Lightning Movement.’    

Xiao Yan rubbed his head and smiled awkwardly     

when he saw Yao Lao’s expression, which carried a faint sternness. He     

did not dare interrupt.    

“Due to your Spiritual Strength being     

powerful, your control over the energy in your body is also extremely     

outstanding. Therefore, such a mistake, one only made by a beginner, is     

considered to be somewhat foolish to be made by you. Remember. Suppress     

the wind-lightning strength that is being emitted without any lapse in     

control, and let it gather at a single point. Using the explosive     

strength that is emitted, it will increase your speed quickly so much so     

that you would become the fastest person under the Dou Wang class.     

Moreover, if you are able to reach this stage, you would be considered     

to have truly stepped into the first level, Lightning Flash, of the     

‘Three Thousand Lightning Movement.’” Yao Lao shook his head and said in     

a deep voice.    

“Of course, the explanation that I have given with     

my mouth is indeed very simple. However, there are some things in     

between that will require you to grasp by yourself. I can only direct     

you to take the most effective path…” Yao Lao gradually relaxed his tone     

as he softly spoke.    

“Ah.” Xiao Yan nodded his head slightly. His     

expression was serious as he cupped his hands toward Yao Lao.     

Immediately after, he took a step back and sat cross-legged on the tree     

branch. The ‘Three Thousand Lightning Movement’ may be able to cause his     

speed to soar greatly, but its consumption of Dou Qi also reached an     

amount that was quite frightening. Xiao Yan had quietly gauged the     

consumption rate by himself. With his current strength of an eight star     

Da Dou Shi, it was likely that he could merely hold out for three to     

five minutes if he were to use the ‘Three Thousand Lightning Movement’     

without rest. After which, he would have difficulty displaying it     

because of the exhaustion of his Dou Qi.    

Seeing that Xiao Yan had     

closed his eyes to train and recover his Dou Qi, Yao Lao quietly heaved a     

sigh of relief within his heart. A faint smile also spilled out from     

the corner of his mouth. In merely three days, Xiao Yan was already able     

to barely display the ‘Three Thousand Lightning Movement’. Although he     

had merely mustered the wind-lightning strength in an extremely crude     

manner, the speed which he had displayed could already catch up to the     

‘Explosive Steps,’ when the latter was used at its maximum potential.     

This kind of training progress was already at a very gratifying speed.     

However, in order to not let an arrogance surface within Xiao Yan’s     

heart because he had just obtained this kind of rare treasure, Yao Lao     

could only be a black-faced individual for a while in order to allow     

Xiao Yan to calm his heart and train...    

Of course, the effect of     

this action of Yao Lao was indeed not bad. After Xiao Yan had finished     

recovering his Dou Qi, the wind-lightning strength that had brewed on     

his feet when he once again practiced the ‘Three Thousand Lightning     

Movement’ was clearly much more restrained compared to before. Moreover,     

the damage he created when he rushed over the swamp had also gradually     

become smaller.    

The black shadow flashed up and down the vast     

swamp. The silver-colored lightning was like a lightning snake that     

repeatedly shuttled swiftly through his feet.    

Following this tough     

training of Xiao Yan’s and the flow of time, the rushing ‘chi chi’     

sound that was emitted from the swamp also became increasingly weaker.     

The sound may have weakened, but the speed of the black shadow above the     

swamp became increasingly frightful. In the end, one couldn’t even see a     

black line shuttling passed. If it were not for the countless number of     

black snakes swimming within the swamp, it would really be difficult to     

determine Xiao Yan’s exact position.    

Under the gradual flow of     

time, the ‘Three Thousand Lightning Movement’ that the black-robed,     

young man practiced had clearly advanced from being unsmooth to having     

truly entered into basic mastery. When the day he successfully masters     

it comes, he would be just like the lightning from far in the sky,     

exploding out of nowhere and shocking the continent.    

Nearly one     

month hurriedly passed by. Time did not leave any trace in that swamp.     

However, from the looks of the black-robed, young man, who had his hands     

held behind him as his feet walked over the swamp as though it were     

flat land, it was easy to tell that there had indeed been something left     

behind during this one month.    

Xiao Yan’s hands were held behind     

his back as his feet stepped on the swamp that was filled with strange     

suction force. However, he appeared to be stepping on firm flat ground     

and did not show any traces of sinking. This strange scene caused people     

to feel surprised. If one were to examine carefully, one would realize     

that on his feet there were actually two clusters of silver-colored     

light the size of a palm. The clusters of light flickered and numerous     

hand-like lightning glows repeatedly extended out. They would     

occasionally enter the mud, causing the mud at that spot to seeth.    

The     

swamp moved slightly. A few black-colored poisonous snakes with bodies     

that were entirely dark-black quietly moved and concealed themselves     

under where Xiao Yan stood. However, just as they were about to reach     

their destination, with savage mouths open, the silver glow under Xiao     

Yan’s feet shook slightly. A few silver-colored threads of lighting     

exploded out, and inserted themselves into the swamp, easily piercing     

through the heads of these few poisonous snakes.    

Xiao Yan glanced     

at the snake corpse that surfaced from the swamp. The corner of his     

mouth curled slightly as he raised his feet slowly. He hesitated for a     

moment before he inhaled a deep breath of air and heavily stomped his     

feet down.    

Following the stomping down of Xiao Yan’s foot, he     

could see that the silver-colored cluster of light under his feet     

suddenly shrank explosively to less than half its size. It was merely     

maintained for less than a second before the shrunken silver-colored     

light clusters suddenly surged forth as Xiao Yan’s right leg was placed     

down. Immediately, a low and deep wind-lightning sound spread out,     

shaking the area a couple of meters around until it fluctuated slightly.    

“Chi!”    

The     

silver light flickered as Xiao Yan’s foot fell. An illusionary feeling     

suddenly and strangely appeared on his body. At this moment, a     

sharp-eyed person would be able to see that the instant Xiao Yan’s body     

became illusionary, a black-colored light flashed past the space...    

Around     

twenty meters away, the swamp was suddenly depressed, forming two small     

swirls. The black human figure appeared like a ghost as he quietly     

surfaced.    

The first thing that Xiao Yan did after his body     

appeared was to hurriedly turn around. His gaze saw that there was an     

extremely faint black-colored illusionary shadow twenty meters behind     

him. When looked upon carefully, it was actually an afterimage!    

“Have I succeeded?”    

A     

joy involuntarily appeared on Xiao Yan’s pale-white face as he eyed     

that extremely faint black-colored shadow. In over fifty days of     

training where he forgot to sleep, he had eaten an unknown amount of     

black mud and his body had been bitten by poisonous snakes an unknown     

amount of time. However, the shocking toughness of the young man did not     

allow him to withdraw even a little. Now… it was finally the time for     

him to reap the reward.    

Yao Lao’s illusionary body was suspended     

in mid-air. He lowered his head to eye the black-robed young man whose     

face was filled with wild joy. His indifferent face involuntarily     

revealed a small smile. In over fifty days, Xiao Yan had managed to     

achieve the realm of the first level of the ‘Three Thousand Lightning     

Movement,’ Lightning Flash. This speed was something that would place     

him among one of the best even within the ‘Wind Lightning Pavilion.’     

However, only his heart clearly knew just what kind of tough training     

this stubborn little fellow had to undergo…    

Possessing talent,     

possessing toughness, and possessing a willingness to work hard, Yao Lao     

could not think of any paths other than success for Xiao Yan, who     

possessed these three qualities.
