BTTH: From Genius to Invincible

Chapter 131: Angry Buddha Lotus Flame



Xiao Yan immediately grabbed a piece of paper and a pen and began to make some sketches and calculations.

'Even though I've refined the Heavenly Flame Essence, it's not necessary to directly use it to cause a collision. It's too difficult to control the collision between Essence Flames. What if I just extract a small portion of the flames, use my Spiritual Strength to control them, and then remove the Spiritual Strength barrier like nitroglycerin, it might cause an explosive reaction upon contact...'

It was as if something clicked in Xiao Yan's mind at this moment. He entered a state of wondrous epiphany as he continued to scribble incomprehensible notes on the paper.

'Extracting the Heavenly Flame requires powerful fire control ability, and controlling the fusion of the flames demands immense Spiritual Strength. But wait, that alone won't be enough power, it needs more fuel.'

'Dou Qi! That's right, Dou Qi! It is fundamental when unleashing Dou Techniques. How could I have forgotten? By infusing a large amount of Dou Qi into the Spiritual Strength, the fusion of the Heavenly Flames will become more intense with the addition of Dou Qi.'

Xiao Yan didn't realize it, but he was in the process of creating an entirely new Dou

Technique. Usually, only old monsters would create Dou Techniques based on their own experiences, yet Xiao Yan was only eighteen years old!

He secluded himself in his room for a full day and night before finally designing the prototype of the Dou Technique!

'Lotus! The lotus petals are formed by extracting and compressing the Heavenly Flames, while the lotus platform made of Spiritual Strength is used to stabilize and separate the Heavenly Flame petals. Then the Dou Qi is compressed into a Dou Qi lotus seed and fixed onto the lotus platform!'

Xiao Yan looked at a draft paper on the table, on which was drawn an exquisite lotus. The lotus was composed of petals, a lotus platform, and lotus seeds, exactly corresponding to the three elements he had just described!

'A lotus formed from Heavenly Flames... This move shall be called 'Angry Buddha Lotus Flame.'

Xiao Yan let out a long, contented sigh. Only then did he realize that he had been pondering for three days and three nights. After taking a pill to alleviate his hunger, he slowly stood up and stretched.

Whenever he had a thought in his mind, he would immediately act on it. With a childlike grin, he eagerly made his way to the training ground.

He wanted to test the power of his first self-invented Dou Technique!

"You've come out at just the right time," Hai Bodong descended from the sky and handed him several ornate boxes filled with medicinal ingredients. "I've scoured every medicinal shop in both Rock Desert City and Desert City, but there are still many ingredients for the Spiritual Recovery Purple Pill that I couldn't find. I think we'll have to head to the Miteer Auction House in the imperial capital and the Alchemist Association headquarters to find the rest."

Hai Bodong had been frantically searching for the ingredients listed in the Spiritual Recovery Purple Pill recipe over the past few days. However, Rock Desert City and Desert City were not cities known for medicinal materials. He could only find a few stalks of the ingredients needed for the 5th-tier pill.

"We can visit a few more nearby cities for the ingredients. I still need to practice alchemy for a while before I have a chance to reach the 5th-tier. But Old Hai, you're back just in time to help me with something." Xiao Yan saw Hai Bodong as soon as he stepped out of his room. His eyes lit up as he said with a smile.

For some reason, Hai Bodong had a bad feeling when he saw Xiao Yan's smiling face.

"What do you want to do? Tell me first, and I'll decide after listening." Hai Bodong frowned slightly. He wanted to know what kind of help was being asked before deciding whether to agree.

"I had a sudden burst of inspiration a few days ago and created the prototype of a Dou Technique. I plan to test its power." Xiao Yan didn't hide anything and spoke directly.

"Oh, is that all? No problem then." When Hai Bodong heard that it was about testing a Dou Technique, he thought it was a simple matter and readily agreed.

The two of them walk to the training ground.

"Speaking of which, I also had a whim when I was young and created a Dou Technique. I reckon it had the power of a Low Xuan Class Dou Technique. But at that time, I was already at the Dou King realm. You little brat, you're so young, yet you can already create a Dou Technique. By the way, what grade is that Dou Technique of yours?" Hai Bodong talked about some interesting stories from his youth as they walked.

Xiao Yan shrugged and replied, "I don't know. That's why I'm asking Old Hai to help me evaluate it."

It was not long before the two of them arrived at the training ground. Word spread that Xiao Yan was going to test his self-created Dou Technique and all the mercenaries rushed over to watch.

Even Xiao Ding and Xiao Li came to spectate.

"Third Brother always has some strange ideas." Xiao Ding shook his head helplessly, but he couldn't hide the smile at the corner of his mouth.

Xiao Yan slowly came to a stop at one corner of the training ground and gave a slight smile to Hai Bodong standing opposite him. "Old Hai, prepare to defend with all your might. I want to test how much power this Dou Technique I created really has."

Hai Bodong snorted in his heart and thought. 'Hmph, even though you brat's Spiritual Strength is formidable, your cultivation is still at the Dou Grandmaster realm. Do I, the great Ice Emperor, really need to defend with my full strength? What a joke.'

However, Hai Bodong still nodded despite his inner thoughts and with a wave of his hand, a one-meter-high ice shield appeared in front of him.

Xiao Yan secretly laughed when he saw that Hai Bodong had only produced a one-meter ice shield.

He extended his right hand, and immediately two flames-one blood-red and the other emerald-green-gradually emerged from his palm and rose into the air. Seeing the two different colored flames in Xiao Yan's hand, Hai Bodong was momentarily stunned as he suddenly remembered a crucial detail he had overlooked.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

This freak Xiao Yan seemed to possess two kinds of Heavenly Flames!!

One was the blood-red Heavenly Flame he had used when fighting him initially, and the other was the Green Lotus Core Flame he had snatched from Gu He's hands!

'Huh? Can alchemists really possess two Heavenly Flames at the same time?' Hai Bodong was a bit puzzled. However, he wasn't very knowledgeable about Heavenly Flames. Xiao Yan looked at the two wisps of flame in his palm and pondered, 'How much flame would be appropriate...? Let's start with the amount needed to refine a 4th-tier pill.' Once Xiao Yan decided on the amount of flame, the terrifying fire control brought by the Flame Mantra allowed him to control the Heavenly Flames with utmost precision. The small flames that were initially like those from a lighter instantly grew larger.

In an instant, his Spiritual Strength and Dou Qi burst forth from his body. The Late Mortal State Spiritual Strength acted like a pair of invisible and dexterous large hands as it rapidly changed the shape of the Heavenly Flames.

Under the astonished gazes of everyone present, a dazzling and magnificent fire lotus the size

of a fist appeared before their eyes.

"It's so beautiful!"

"It's simply a work of art."

The fire lotus displayed two colors. One half was blood-red, and faintly, there seemed to be beast spirits running along the petals as they emitted faint beast roars. The other half was emerald-green, crystal-clear, flawless, and pure, looking like the most beautiful jade in the

world.

"Hmm?"

Xiao Yan's brow furrowed. The moment the fire lotus took shape, he suddenly discovered that the Heavenly Flames, once separated from his body, were no longer affected by the Flame Mantra. A strange connection even formed between the two flames, as if they were hostile to each other and wanted to devour the other. The bit of Spiritual Strength he released couldn't

control them at all.

His eyes narrowed, and his terrifying Spiritual Strength poured out like a waterfall, frantically trying to sever this connection.

Boom boom boom!!!! Debris flew into the air, while cracks that emitted strong vibrations

began to form on the ground where he stood.

After all, his Spiritual Strength was at the Late Mortal State, and its full outburst was

incredibly terrifying!

Xiao Yan suddenly raised his head and looked at Hai Bodong. The latter's heart trembled. "Hey, hey, hey! Wait a minute!"

Xiao Yan had poured in most of his Spiritual Strength to barely maintain control, but he also knew he couldn't control it for long. Without caring anymore, he threw it directly in Hai Bodong's direction.
