Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

Finally, amid eyes filled with disbelief, the Black Annihilation Army Competition came to an end, and the rankings were immediately calculated.

The first team, the second team, and finally the third team without any suspense.

However, the result that the third team came in last was no surprise, but the process was not. In the normal competition, the third team only won one game by a few millimeters, but the first and second teams all had solemn expressions and no one made any mocking remarks.

Everyone knew that their victory over the Third Team was a fluke. If the overall level of the Third Team was similar to theirs, they would probably have lost miserably.

"I'm sorry, Commander Xiao Yan." Ling Quan, who had already woken up, sat on the ground and looked up at Xiao Yan, his eyes full of regret. "We failed to take first place."

In response, Xiao Yan just smiled faintly.

"Sorry? What are you sorry for?"

Xiao Yan squatted down and looked at Ling Quan, and spoke slowly in the face of the other's stunned expression.

"Do you think the battle you participated in today was worthy of yourself?"

".I'm sorry."

Ling Quan was silent for a while, then nodded heavily without any hesitation, which made Xiao Yan's smile even wider.

"As long as you can live up to yourselves, that's enough." Xiao Yan stood up and glanced at the first and second troops. "Lingquan, you must be clear about one thing. Talent is an objective thing. There is no need to push yourself too hard. It is also a choice to let yourself go appropriately."

"This is the least convincing thing for you to say."

Gu Qinghan suddenly appeared beside Xiao Yan and glanced at him indifferently.

There's no need to push yourself too hard? Of all the people Gu Qinghan had met so far, Xiao Yan was the least qualified to say this. Everything he did, was it not forcing himself to move forward?
Xiao Yan scratched the side of his face awkwardly, and then Gu Qinghan sighed helplessly and raised his head slightly.

"Lord Guilie is looking for you."

Afterwards, Xiao Yan ordered Ling Quan to lead the team back first. He followed Gu Qinghan and stood on the high platform, then came in front of Gu Lie and saluted with his fists.

"Lord Guile, your commission has been completed. Are you satisfied?"

"If you are not satisfied with this, then the First and Second Troops can be disbanded directly." Gui Lie said so, his eyes full of curiosity. "I know very well what the Third Troop's strength was before. You took over the Third Troop for less than a month and you have trained them to this level. How did you do it?"

Gu Lie just asked casually. After all, being able to improve a team's strength so quickly in a short period of time without any side effects, it is no exaggeration to say that this is an exclusive secret.

But surprisingly, Xiao Yan did not hide anything and directly told Gu Lie the training content for the third unit during this period. After a brief pause, Gu Lie listened carefully. After all, this was a training method that could greatly enhance the overall strength of the Black Annihilation Army.

However, after listening to it, Gulie's face was covered with a helpless expression.

To be honest, there is nothing special about Xiao Yan's training. It can be simply summed up in three words: physical training.

Although it is true that the higher the realm, the greater the gap, but at least before reaching the level of Dou Sheng, the practitioner's physical fitness is still a very important part. It is reasonable for him to jump one or two levels according to Xiao Yan's training method. It can also be seen from the competition of the third team today that compared with Dou Qi, their fighting style is more inclined to physical combat.

However, it is easy to say "train physical fitness", but it is really difficult to train according to Xiao Yan's method. The reason is very simple, because if you are not careful, you can kill yourself.

The Black Annihilation Army usually trains their physical fitness, but compared to Xiao Yan's training intensity, it is nothing, the difference is more than dozens of times.

Therefore, Xiao Yan made a special reminder that he specially trained each person while refining pills according to each person's physical fitness, otherwise Ling Quan and the others would not be able to withstand it.

First, he must be proficient in combat so that he can detect everyone's training progress as quickly as possible. Second, he must be proficient in alchemy and be able to refine professional pills at any time based on the physical conditions of his subordinates.

Just these two points made Xiao Yan's training method even more difficult.

Among the ancient clans, there are those who are proficient in fighting, and there are also those who are proficient in refining medicine.

But even Guile can't possess both and have training experience.

"Xiao Yan, you are truly a genius."

Gu Lie touched his chin, curled his lips slightly, and glanced at Gu Qinghan with a somewhat resentful look.

What a great talent! Why is Qinghan unwilling to accept it?

If Xiao Yan and Gu Qinghan form an alliance, and Xiao Yan declares to join the Gu Clan later, Gu Lie can directly give up the position of Black Annihilation King to him without hesitation. If the elders are unwilling, he can go and persuade them in person.

But without the marriage relationship, even if Xiao Yan joined the Ancient Clan, it would be unreasonable to let an outsider take on the position of Black Annihilation King.

However, Gu Qinghan had just made it clear to him that Xiao Yan would not agree to the marriage, and abandoning the Tianhe Alliance and joining the Gu Clan was impossible. After hearing such a decisive reply, Gu Lie could only silently give up this idea.

At this moment, a voice came slowly from a distance. Xiao Yan paused slightly. Gu Lie and Gu Qinghan also turned their heads to look, with respect in their eyes.

The patriarch of the ancient tribe, Gu Yuan.

"Chief Gu Yuan."

Xiao Yan turned around to face Gu Yuan. Gu Yuan looked at Xiao Yan and let out a soft sigh after a long moment.

"You are really surprising." Then Gu Yuan turned around and said, "Come with me, I will take you to a place."

"Yes."

Xiao Yan was a little confused, but did not ask too many questions. After saying goodbye to Gu Lie and Gu Qinghan, he followed Gu Yuan, walked out of the Gu clan's main city, and walked leisurely towards the mountains in the back mountain.

Looking at the main city gradually moving away behind him, Xiao Yan became more and more confused, silently wondering where Gu Yuan was going to take him.

Xiao Yan didn't even think about being on guard, mainly because it was useless to be on guard against a strong man of Gu Yuan's level. The other person could crush him into dust with just one finger, so what was the point of being on guard?

At this moment, Gu Yuan, who was walking in front, suddenly asked.

"Xiao Yan, do you know Xiao Xuan from the Xiao clan?"

The sudden question made Xiao Yan stunned for a moment, and then he answered honestly.

"I heard a senior mention him before. He seems to be my ancestor."

After hearing this, Gu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

"So, what do you think of your ancestor?"

“What do you think?” Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows and continued, “To be honest, I just admire the heroic deeds of the ancestor Xiao Xuan. That’s all. I don’t have any other opinions.”

Gu Yuan also seemed a little surprised, surprised that Xiao Yan actually gave such an answer.

"Even if that is your Xiao family's ancestor, you have no opinion on it?"

"After all, he is a legendary figure from thousands of years ago. I haven't even seen him, so what can I think of him?" Xiao Yan answered calmly, "It's better to say that if I have an opinion about this ancestor just because of some rumors from others, whether it is good or bad, it is only the opinion of others, not my own." ".Is that so."

Gu Yuan responded, and then fell into silence for a long time.

Xiao Yan is a really extraordinary person.

After a long pause, Gu Yuan, who was walking in front, spoke to himself.

"A thousand years ago, when the Xiao clan had not yet fallen, I met Xiao Xuan. Although we were rival clans, we were also close friends."

Xiao Yan frowned, but did not say anything. He just listened silently.

"You should also know that the reason why the eight ancient clans are so powerful is because each clan's ancestors had Doudi. The Doudi realm can change blood relatives with the same bloodline and make them have strength and talent far beyond that of ordinary people. It can be said that the Doudi bloodline is the foundation of the eight ancient clans."

"A thousand years ago, the Doudi bloodline of the Xiao clan began to decline first. Xiao Xuan, who realized this problem, came up with a crazy idea. He used the blood power of the entire clan to break through the Doudi and continue the Xiao clan."

"However, Xiao Xuan still took it for granted. Without the key thing, it would be in vain even if he gathered more blood power."

The key thing?
Xiao Yan caught this word, what is the key thing?
But Gu Yuan did not explain and continued talking.

"Of course, I am only speaking in hindsight. He told me this news before he died."

"After Xiao Xuan failed to break through, he was also on the verge of serious injury. The Soul Clan, who had planned in advance, invaded the Xiao Realm on a large scale, causing the Xiao Clan, which was already on the verge of decline, to completely collapse."

"Soul Clan. Is it Emperor Hun Tian?"

Xiao Yan asked with a frown, and Gu Yuan nodded slightly. At this moment, Gu Yuan stopped. Xiao Yan looked forward and found two huge stone pillars standing on both sides, with a transparent space passage in the middle.

Without waiting for Xiao Yan to ask, Gu Yuan began to explain.

"Inside is the ancient clan's celestial tomb. Only those with the ancient clan's permission can enter."

As he spoke, a token appeared from Gu Yuan's sleeve and he threw it directly to Xiao Yan.

"Take the token and go in, and keep going forward."

"Chief Gu Yuan, this is..."

Xiao Yan held the token and wanted to ask doubtfully, but Gu Yuan had already turned and left, leaving only one sentence.

"If you see him, please tell him I'm sorry."

Over the years, the old woman had been pointing at his nose and scolding him for not helping her in the first place, but Gu Yuan had never said a word back.

It was not only because of the old woman's noble status, but also because of the shame in Gu Yuan's heart.

Gu Yuan did not let down the Gu clan for what he had done, but he felt guilty towards him, as he had not even been able to do what he had promised him.

My personality has never changed from the past to now. Now I don't even dare to apologize to him in person, but instead let a junior do it for me.

It's really ridiculous.

Xiao Yan looked at Gu Yuan's receding back. Although his steps were slow, they revealed a feeling of escape.

Obviously, Gu Yuan didn't dare to see the person in this tomb.

Gu Yuan is the strongest person on the continent today, how come there is someone he dare not meet?

Xiao Yan was a little confused. He had felt strange since they first met. In this world where strength is respected, Gu Yuan, as a man standing at the top of the world, not only did he not have that domineering aura, but apart from the invisible majesty he exuded, in terms of spirit, he gave people the feeling that he was not as good as Jia Xingtian.

Although I don't understand,
Xiao Yan glanced at the token in his hand, tightened it slightly, turned around and walked into the Heavenly Tomb.

This doubt in my heart should be answered after entering this so-called heavenly tomb.

After Xiao Yan entered the Heavenly Tomb, Gu Yuan met a person on the way back to the city. It was the seemingly ordinary old woman who had been able to scold Gu Lie in public without any scruples.

"senior."

When Gu Yuan saw the old woman, he was stunned at first, and then he was about to salute, but was interrupted by the old woman's unpleasant voice.

"No need. I, an old woman, cannot bear such a gift from you, the chief of the clan."

Gu Yuan looked somewhat embarrassed, his body frozen in place, while the old woman looked in the direction of the Heavenly Tomb and asked in a deep voice.

"You let that guy in?"

"Well, as you ordered, he will be seen soon."

Gu Yuan responded respectfully, but the old woman snorted coldly.

"Humph! You should have done this a long time ago, but you had to wait for me to tell you to do it. With such an indecisive character, I wonder how you cultivated to this level of strength."

"Forehead"

Seeing Gu Yuan’s embarrassed expression, the old woman sighed heavily.

"If you had half the temper of Xiao Xuan, you wouldn't have just stood by and watched." The old woman said, looking at Gu Yuan with full contempt, "And now, you don't even have the courage to apologize in person. I was really blind to let you take my place!"

If Xiao Yan were present, he would definitely be shocked when hearing this.

This ordinary old woman who was setting up a stall on the street was actually the former chief of the ancient clan!

After scolding Gu Yuan, the old woman seemed to be annoyed with Gu Yuan, turned around and walked back, and said in a deep voice with her back to Gu Yuan.

"Gu Yuan, I know you are conservative. I chose you to take charge of the Gu Clan because of this." The old woman tilted her head slightly, looking at Gu Yuan with disappointment in her eyes, "However, you are too conservative. You are still conservative even when you shouldn't be conservative."

"It's my fault for throwing such a heavy burden on you. If the position of clan leader hadn't restricted you, I'm afraid you wouldn't have just stood by and watched."

The old woman hunched over and walked away gradually, leaving behind her last words.

"I hope you won't regret your choice. Not only don't regret it for the ancient clan, but also don't regret your own choice."

Looking at the old woman's gradually receding back, Gu Yuan was silent. After a long time, he lowered his head and murmured sadly.

"Maybe." (End of this chapter)
