Chapter 6 Mask
The world is so beautiful and the air is so fresh.

I'm still alive!

Yao Yan opened his eyes, feeling the reality of the world. An unbelievable feeling surged through his body. He felt it was a dream that he was still alive. After everything he had just experienced, he felt that he was dead many times. He did not expect that he could survive it.

"Brush~"

As Hunxuzi withdrew the soul power that was supporting Yaoyan, he fell directly to the ground. The pain reminded him all the time that he was still alive.

"Little guy, you are very lucky and succeeded. Congratulations, you are the only lucky person in the past thousand years to inherit the bloodline of the Soul Devouring Clan."

Hunxuzi was still floating in the air, with black flames lingering around him and his eyes flashing red. He didn't look like a good person, but his tone towards Yaoyan was a little gentler at this moment. Obviously, Yaoyan's value in his mind increased greatly at this moment.

Yao Yan quickly got up from the ground and checked his body. When he found that he was still a human being with all his limbs intact, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Who would want to become a monster if they could keep their human form?

Yao Yan knelt on his knees, bowed deeply to Hunxuzi, and thanked him in a deep voice: "Thank you, Master, for your help!"

Although the other party is a beast, his life and property now depend on the other party's thoughts. Naturally, he has to consider his future path. The other party has spent so much time and energy on this matter, and now everything has been successful for him. His value to Hunxuzi is self-evident.

With Hunxuzi's strength and lifespan, he doesn't need to worry about the other party taking over his body.

Moreover, according to what the other party said, he also has the blood of the Soul Clan, so it is not impossible for him to turn around and join the Soul Clan. As a time traveler, he has a flexible moral bottom line. Especially when he does not have the ability to dominate his own destiny, he knows what it means to be a hero who knows the times.

In the fantasy world, shouting without strength is just a joke.

They all don't eat beef, so why do you discuss their values ​​with them?

Hunxuzi looked down at the little guy in front of him and chuckled, "No need to thank me, this is your choice and your luck. After all, you are betting on your own life. Get up~"

He raised his hand slightly and used his soul power to lift Yao Yan up.

At this moment, he seemed very reasonable, and his attitude seemed as if he was just a senior testing a junior.

I really believed your lies... Yao Yan knew the true face of Hun Xuzi very well, but he pretended to be moved, then knelt down again and said in a deep voice: "Master, I know that without your help, I can't succeed!"

Upon hearing this, Hunxuzi fell silent.

Yao Yan continued, "Master, I want to become a strong man. Can you teach me? I want to avenge my parents!"

He clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with anger and hatred, like a little beast seeking revenge.

Hunxuzi did not lift Yaoyan up this time. He stared at him with his red eyes and said calmly, "Have you thought it through? If so, you will no longer be a member of the Yao Clan in the future."

"…I have thought it through. Although the Yao Clan has raised me, my master has also given me a second life. After I have avenged myself, I will leave with my master."

Yao Yan was silent for a moment, then spoke in a deep voice.

"it is good."

Hunxuzi nodded. Yaoyan's understanding made him feel comfortable and saved him a lot of trouble. He also wanted to see how far Yaoyan could grow. Thinking of this, he looked at Yaoyan and said, "Get up, feel your body now, and see if you can control the abilities of the Soul Devouring Clan."

Yao Yan stood up obediently, closed his eyes, immersed his soul power into his body, and began to feel the changes in this body.

Although the other party tortured him for a long time in a brutal manner, his kindness in giving him a new life was not false.

If before, Yao Yan only dared to take one step at a time and slowly plan for the future, then now, he has become bolder. He wants to become the Dou Emperor, the number one person in the Douqi Continent. He wants to control his own destiny. He doesn't want to be controlled by others like this anymore and doesn't even have the right to make his own choices.

It is no exaggeration to say that Yao Yan has been reborn today. His entire body is glowing a faint jade color, his blood and vitality are incredibly strong. Even though he has lost all his fighting spirit, his physical strength is several times what it used to be. Even his soul power has increased a lot, as if some transformation has taken place.

And this is just the surface of talent.

Yao Yan could clearly feel the unique power in his body. He slowly mobilized this power, and suddenly an evil aura emanated from his body. The originally jade-colored bones quickly began to spread with strange lines. At the same time, a power that did not belong to fighting spirit emerged from his body and flowed through his limbs and bones.

This power was very evil and seemed to be more domineering than fighting spirit. It carried an invisible devouring force, which gave him an additional bloodthirsty impulse.

In addition, a bloodstain appeared between the eyebrows, like a half-closed vertical pupil, which contained a more domineering power. However, Yao Yan was too weak at the moment and could not fully stimulate its power.

"This power..."

Yao Yan slowly opened his eyes with a hint of doubt in his eyes, because he could clearly feel the uniqueness of this power. As a former fighter, he could clearly judge the difference between this power and fighting spirit. In essence, it was stronger than fighting spirit, more domineering and aggressive.

Evil spirit, demonic spirit, or the so-called source of energy...

Hunxuzi saw the doubt in Yaoyan's heart and explained, "No surprise, the Soul Devouring Clan is a peculiar race. They don't practice fighting spirit, and the power in their bodies is also very strange. It has a devouring nature, and even polluting. This power is also very overbearing. If it weren't for the alliance of several ancient imperial clans, it would not be easy to exterminate them."

"It's a good thing that you can inherit this power. Try to see if you can cultivate fighting spirit. If you can, your future will be limitless."

"Jie Jie~"

As he spoke, Hunxuzi also laughed, with a look of anticipation in his eyes. He was also very curious whether the work he created could reach that level of perfection. According to his inference, it should be possible.

Yao Yan nodded, sat down cross-legged, formed seals with his hands, and entered the state of cultivation. Because he was originally a six-star fighter, it was completely easy for him to cultivate again. Even because of the change in his talent, the speed of cultivation became abnormally exaggerated, like a whale swallowing. The energy of heaven and earth in the house quickly rushed towards him, covering his body like white mist and pouring into his limbs and bones.

In just a few breaths, he had already cultivated the first fighting spirit and possessed some fighting power.

He did not stop there, but began to work at full strength, fully displaying his talent. As for whether it would cause any noise and attract the attention of other members of the Medicine Clan, he was not worried at all, because with the strength of Hunxuzi and the special nature of the Void Devouring Flame, even if he blew up this place, there would not be any movement outside.

On the contrary, the higher his talent at this moment, the more Hunxuzi will value him, and thus, his future path will be easier.

When dealing with people like Hunxuzi, he must demonstrate his own value!
"very good!"

Hunxuzi felt the changes in Yao Yan's body and his cultivation speed, and there was a hint of satisfaction in his eyes. The other party did not disappoint him. With the talent shown by Yao Yan at this moment, it was almost the same as those of the imperial clan's divine bloodline.

He was not surprised at all.

After all, he integrated the blood power contained in the remains of a Fighting Saint into Yao Yan's body. It would be strange if he didn't have such a fast cultivation speed.

Anyone who can cultivate to the level of Dou Sheng is a child of destiny!
Compared to the cultivation of fighting spirit, he was more concerned about the changes in another force in Yao Yan's body.

Under his observation with powerful soul power, there was no secret on Yao Yan at all. He could clearly feel that another power contained in Yao Yan's body was also slowly increasing. Although the speed of increase was far slower than the speed of increase of Dou Qi, it might be good as long as it increased.

The Soul Devouring Clan does not rely on cultivation to become stronger. Their strongest point is their own devouring power, which allows them to devour the blood essence and other things of others at will.

This is the scariest thing.

Hunxuzi silently waited for Yaoyan to finish his training.

About as long as a cup of tea.

Yao Yan stopped practicing and slowly opened his eyes. He spread his hands, feeling the changes in his body. His heartbeat couldn't help but speed up, because in just a short while, his strength had recovered to the first level of fighting spirit. This practice speed was so terrifying, and this level of fighting spirit was more condensed and powerful than the fighting spirit he had practiced before.

"Don't worry, slowly adapt. Retraining will be good for you. It will allow you to get familiar with this body again. Remember, don't rush to break through unless you can completely control your body. Otherwise, it will just be a waste of your talent. What you need to do now is to get familiar with your body!"

Hunxuzi looked at Yaoyan and instructed in a deep voice.

Yao Yan's talent has skyrocketed now, and it is easy for him to become addicted to the pleasure of rapid breakthrough at this time. If so, his future will undoubtedly be ruined. He does not want to cultivate a waste.

Yao Yan nodded upon hearing this, then stood up and bowed: "Yes, Master."

There was a pause.

He clenched his fists, looked at Hunxuzi's floating figure, and asked in a concentrated voice: "Master, can you tell me now who my enemy is?"

"Don't worry, just practice with peace of mind. When you are strong enough, I will tell you naturally."

Hunxuzi said lightly, and at the same time, the void swallowing flames surrounding the house began to converge, and finally turned into a flame and flew into his figure.

"brush!"

He lightly tapped his fingers, and a stream of light flew out from Yao Yan's ring. It was an ancient jade plate, a relic of Yao Yan's father.

"In the future, you can use this jade token to contact me and stimulate your soul power. As for the changes in your body... Divine objects are naturally hidden. Divine bloodlines are not so easy to be discovered when they are not yet fully mature. Your current bloodline power is not weaker than that of a divine bloodline. It can even continue to grow and may even surpass it in the future."

Yao Yan was stunned when he heard this, and then he activated his soul power to observe his body. He saw that the jade color on the bones was gradually fading away until it returned to normal.

"You must remember not to activate the blood power of the Soul Devouring Clan. You should be aware of its special nature. Once this power is exerted, no one who knows about it can be spared. Otherwise, you will become the target of death of other imperial clans."

"I understand, Master!"

"Master? Your father is only my nominal disciple. I have never acknowledged him. But you can become my real disciple in the future."

"……is teacher."

"Teacher, what a familiar yet strange name, hehe~"

With a strange laugh, Hunxuzi's figure slowly shrank in the void, until it turned into a black flame and sank into the jade token.

"brush."

The jade token falls.

Yao Yan reached out to take it, and looking at the jade token in his hand, he said solemnly, "Teacher, I will work hard and will not let you down!"

Then put it into the ring.

From this moment on, he knew that he would have to live with a mask on for the rest of his life.

But isn’t that what life is all about?
Who can do whatever they want? Most people just change one mask into another.
