Battle Through the Heavens: Clan Leader, I'm sorry, now I just want to be a good person.

In a dense forest outside Wutan City, Xiao Fan sat cross-legged on the ground, staring intently at the control panel.

Main Quest: As a supporting character, you should clear all obstacles for Xiao Yan beforehand! Leave Wutan City! This small city is your constraint! (Completed)

Looking at the items on the panel, Xiao Fan suddenly noticed that he had a new item called Pure Soul Experience. Thinking of a possibility, Xiao Fan said to the system, "Pic Egg, what does Pure Soul Experience mean?"

"Pure soul experience means that the host can perfectly absorb the soul power within and understand the soul fragments within," the system's voice slowly sounded.

Upon hearing the system's reply, Xiao Fan exclaimed excitedly, "You mean I can absorb all the soul power left behind by Elder Yao, and I can learn all the understanding of alchemy contained within it?"

You must know that this is the culmination of Yao Lao's life's experience in alchemy. Yao Lao was once a peak eighth-grade alchemist. If I could absorb all of it, wouldn't that mean I would directly become a peak eighth-grade alchemist just like Yao Lao at his peak?

Just as Xiao Fan was daydreaming, the system suddenly said, "Theoretically, that's correct, but the host's current soul cannot absorb all of the souls, otherwise it would directly burst the host's soul."

Hearing the system's reply, Xiao Fan calmed down. Indeed, if he could become an eighth-grade alchemist so easily, then his journey through Doupo would have been far too easy.

Taking a deep breath to completely suppress his excitement, Xiao Fan clicked on the mission to leave Wutan City and chose to accept the reward.

"Ding! It has been detected that the host has escaped Xiao Yan's influence and left Wutan City. Reward: one soul tempering session."

"Ding! Host has received a reward: Bone Spirit Cold Flame (Incomplete Form)"

"Ding! Host has gained 100 experience points."

"Ding! Host's Battle Qi Experience +200"

"Ding! Host's Battle Qi Experience +200"

...

Xiao Fan was overjoyed when he heard about the initial soul tempering. He had already gained the talent of an alchemist because of the system, and now that the old alchemist had imparted his alchemy insights to him, if his soul power was improved, it would definitely help him better absorb the soul power left behind by the old alchemist.

Moreover, to his surprise, he also obtained an incomplete Bone Spirit Cold Flame. Although it was incomplete, it was still a different kind of flame. It was even the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, ranked fourteenth on the Different Flame Ranking.

After informing Pidan, Xiao Fan chose to immediately undergo soul tempering.

Before Xiao Fan could even react after making his choice, he felt a surge of pure soul power flow into his mind.

As the pure soul power sublimated Xiao Fan's soul, the battle qi rewarded by the system mission also improved Xiao Fan's body.

His strength as a one-star Dou Zhe gradually increased, and his aura strengthened at an astonishing rate.

Before long, the aura emanating from Xiao Fan gradually subsided.

Xiao Fan, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them.

Looking at his current body and feeling the abundant battle qi within him, Xiao Fan couldn't help but feel excited.

Others may take a long time to break through to the next level, but with the system's help, every breakthrough is easy for me. As long as I follow the missions, I will definitely be able to reach a higher level.

This gave Xiao Fan even more confidence in the ten-year timeframe.

Remembering that he still had the incomplete Bone Spirit Cold Flame that the system had just rewarded him with, Xiao Fan quickly took it out of the system, and a ball of cold white flame appeared in front of Xiao Fan.

As soon as it was taken out, Xiao Fan could feel the surrounding temperature dropping rapidly.

The fire they had started slowly died out, and the area around the flames was gradually covered by ice.

Looking at the bone spirit cold fire in front of him, Xiao Fan calmly reached out and probed into the center of the flames.

Upon touching the flames, Xiao Fan felt something warm flowing slowly, while the cold white flames began to spread along his outstretched right hand towards his body.

Before long, Xiao Fan was completely enveloped in cold white flames, and from a distance, he could only be seen as a white humanoid flame.

Despite being enveloped in flames, Xiao Fan sensed that the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, while enveloping him, harbored no malice whatsoever.

Xiao Fan seemed to be able to sense the emotions of the flames. They were like playful children, dancing and frolicking around him.

The Chaotic Flame Body—the system said its fire attribute affinity was maxed out—so Xiao Fan trusted the system's judgment, which was the source of his confidence to reach out and touch it directly.

As he sensed the flames, Xiao Fan felt the Bone Spirit Cold Fire slowly seep into his body through the pores of his entire body, gathering again deep within him. At the same time, some impurities in his body were burned away by the strange fire.

The flames enveloping his body gradually disappeared as Xiao Fan absorbed them.

Xiao Fan calmly stretched out his hand, and suddenly, a ball of white flame appeared in his palm—the Bone Spirit Cold Flame.

Looking at the Bone Spirit Cold Flame in his palm, Xiao Fan sensed that the aura it emitted was indeed much weaker than the aura emitted when Elder Yao had refined the medicinal liquid for them before.

But at least as a different kind of fire, it is still much stronger than other beast fires and flames transformed from battle qi, which can be used as a trump card.

After putting away the strange fire and restoring his energy, Xiao Fan opened his panel again to check.

[The Strongest Supporting Character System] (Pidan)

Host: Xiao Fan

Level: 3 (381/400)

Strength: Six-star Dou Zhe (600/1000)

Technique: Radiant Sun Technique

Combat Skills: Yellow Rank Low-level Fiery Cloud Palm (Mastered), Profound Rank Low-level Absorbing Palm (Proficient), Profound Rank High-level Eight Extremes Collapse (Proficient), Profound Rank Low-level Startling Dragon Step (Mastered)

Items: Low-level storage ring, Blood Extraction Pill, Tier 3 Wood-type Magic Core, Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire Map, Canaan Academy Admission Invitation, Shadowless Mask, Thousand Flame Spear, Pure Soul Experience (to be absorbed).

Main quest: None.

Looking at the panel, Xiao Fan found that the system level was only a little over 300 experience points, just a little short of breaking through to level four. He wondered if new functions would be unlocked after the system was upgraded again.

Through soul tempering and absorption of strange fire, his strength actually leaped from a one-star Dou Zhe to a six-star Dou Zhe.

This upgrade speed is even more terrifying than Xiao Yan's.

With the strength of a six-star Dou Zhe, as long as he doesn't do anything reckless and provoke those above the Great Dou Shi level, he should be able to escape unscathed with his trump cards.

But compared to all of that, Xiao Fan felt that absorbing Yao Lao's soul into his mind was also a surprising gain tonight.

Although he couldn't absorb all of Yao Lao's soul at once, Xiao Fan gained a lot of Yao Lao's alchemy experience and some combat skills tonight under the system's soul tempering.

These things are even more helpful to me at this time than the strange fire.

Looking up at this unfamiliar starry sky, Xiao Fan calmed down and appreciated it for the first time, wondering if any of the bright stars in the sky were his hometown.
