Battle Through the Heavens: Even without the Burning Flame Technique, I, Xiao Yan, still became an e

At the Mo Tie Mercenary Group's training ground, today is a rather important day for the entire mercenary group.

Almost all the mercenaries did not participate in any missions that day, but instead gathered at the training ground.

The development of the entire Mo Tie Mercenary Group started much later than the other two mercenary groups, and its members numbered only over eighty.

Each mercenary squad consists of about ten people, and there are six mercenary squads in total.

The so-called test of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group was actually a competition involving the entire group.

However, this kind of competition is positive; the loser suffers no loss, while the winner receives a reward.

It is precisely because of this internal cyclical testing that the Mo Tie Mercenary Group is so stable.

Currently, the captains of the first and second mercenary teams are both nine-star Dou Zhe, while the captain of the third mercenary team is an eight-star Dou Zhe.

As for Xue Lan, the captain of the fourth mercenary team, and the captains of the fifth and sixth mercenary teams, they are both seven-star warriors.

"This is really lively."

Dozens of people were gathered around the martial arts arena, where two fighters were engaged in a duel.

One of them was Xue Lan, and the other was the captain of the Fifth Mercenary Team.

The captain of the fifth mercenary team has made some progress these days, so he wants to try to challenge Xue Lan, the captain of the fourth mercenary team.

If he wins this test, he will be able to promote his squad to the fourth mercenary squad.

"Kail, you're still too green to be the captain of the fourth mercenary team."

[Advanced Yellow Rank - Cross Slash]!

Xue Lan, wielding two daggers, launched an attack, her figure darting about like a snow phantom, instantly passing by the body of the fifth mercenary captain, Kai Le.

By the time the latter realized what had happened, a cross-shaped scratch had already been left on his breastplate.

If the attack had been launched any higher, it would have cut the opponent's throat.

"Xuelan, you're really amazing, I've lost."

Kailer also gave up and decisively conceded defeat, and the cheers from the audience rang out again.

"Xue Lan! Xue Lan!"

Xue Lan breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone has made some progress these days, and it seems that she is about to touch the threshold of an eight-star Dou Zhe.

"Not bad, Xue Lan, you've gotten even stronger these past few days."

Xiao Ding, the leader of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group, clapped his hands in agreement with Xue Lan.

Xue Lan blushed slightly at the Grand Commander's praise, saying, "Not at all, I'm far from being as good as the Grand Commander."

"Big brother, I've brought Xiao Yanzi with me."

While Xiao Ding and Xue Lan were talking, Xiao Yan and Xiao Li arrived at the training ground.

As for Qinglin, she personally doesn't like crowds, so she didn't come along.

Xiao Yan didn't force her, but told her to find a quiet place to cultivate whenever she had time.

"Little Yanzi, Second Brother, you're here."

Xiao Yan's appearance once again caused the entire mercenary group to erupt in excitement.

The main event today is that these mercenaries want to see just how talented Xiao Yan really is.

After all, the story of one person killing eight snake-men warriors on that day only exists in descriptions; without witnessing it firsthand, it is difficult for many people to make an accurate judgment.

"Everyone wants to see you show off your skills today, but I think you must be at least a Battle Master or higher. No Battle Master can beat you. Let me be your opponent."

Xiao Li rubbed his hands together, looking eager to try.

You should know that your younger brother became a Dou Zhe at the age of eleven. Now, five or six years have passed, and Xiao Li has no doubt that he has become a Dou Shi.

Xiao Yan touched his nose, somewhat helplessly. He was now a Dou Ling, and he hadn't had a chance to tell his two older brothers about it while he was training with Qing Lin.

But thinking about it, even if I said it, they would probably choose to challenge themselves anyway.

"Hehe, it seems Little Yanzi doesn't want to bully you, his second brother, lest you look too bad later. In that case, let me and you go together. The two of us against you, Little Yanzi won't think we're ganging up on the weak, will he?"

Faced with his two older brothers' stubbornness, Xiao Yan had no choice but to agree to a friendly sparring session with them.

"What? The Grand Commander and the Second Commander are going to attack together?"

Seeing the two standing opposite Xiao Yan, and none of the three present feeling anything was amiss, it meant that all three of them tacitly agreed that Xiao Yan could fight against two team leaders with the strength of Dou Shi on his own. Just how strong was he?

Most importantly, as the younger brother of the two captains, he is significantly younger than them, yet he requires the combined strength of the two to barely put up a fight. It's no wonder that he has always been called a genius with such extraordinary talent.

"This is getting interesting. The two commanders' brothers seem to be even stronger than I thought."

"Those people from Stone Desert City all claimed to be geniuses, but after meeting this person today, I realize that those geniuses are nothing but rubbish."

"Alright, alright, everyone, quiet down and watch the fight carefully. You might even gain some insights."

The mercenaries present were buzzing with discussion, while the three people in the center of the training ground were poised to unleash their power.

"Xiao Ding, attribute: wood, cultivation level: five-star Dou Shi!"

"Xiao Li, attribute: lightning, cultivation level: four-star Dou Shi!"

Before the battle, Xiao Yan's two older brothers announced their cultivation levels, expressing their determination to go all out and hold nothing back in the fight.

However, the more formal the competition, the more open and fair both sides must be. Xiao Yan did not hide anything from his two elder brothers and responded directly.

"Xiao Yan, attribute: fire, cultivation level: two-star Dou Ling!"

"A two-star Dou Shi? It's truly rare for a kid to reach this level of cultivation at such a young age. After all, those of us who are several years older than him are still struggling to reach the Dou Zhe realm."

"Are you deaf or blind? Did they say a two-star Dou Shi?"

Only Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, who were in the training ground, heard it clearly: Xiao Yan was indeed talking about a two-star Dou Ling.

According to them, they wouldn't be surprised if Xiao Yan were an eight- or nine-star Dou Shi, and they wouldn't be surprised if he were a one- or two-star Great Dou Shi.

But they never imagined that Xiao Yan's strength would far exceed their expectations.

"Two-star Dou Ling? Little Yanzi, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

Even though they trusted Xiao Yan completely, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li couldn't help but suspect that the other party had made a slip of the tongue.

"Big brother, second brother, when have I ever lied to you? After all, neither of you has ever beaten me since I was twelve years old."

Xiao Yan chuckled and dug up these old stories.

"Well, little Yanzi, you actually dare to bring up those old stories. Big brother, it seems I'll have to show little Yanzi what it means to be a big brother today!"

"That makes sense. We don't need to hold back anymore, since we can't hurt him anyway."

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li went all out. Xiao Li took out a thunder spear, while Xiao Ding held a folding fan.

[Low-level Xuan Rank - Thunder Arc Tri-section Dance]!

[Low-level Xuan Rank - Mad Wood and Raging Storm]!

The two leaders immediately displayed their best skills. It was precisely because their opponent was Xiao Yan that they were able to hold nothing back, which showed their absolute trust in their third brother.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan also became a little serious. He made a grasping motion in the air, and a blood-red giant sword of strange fire materialized.

He didn't use any fighting techniques, but instead swung his sword fiercely at the two incoming fighting techniques, unleashing a blood-red fire wave that was over ten meters high!

The wave of fire slammed into Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, instantly destroying their fighting techniques, and only stopped when it reached them.

Meanwhile, the sandy training ground in front of Xiao Ding and Xiao Li had been scorched black by this move.

"Eldest brother, second brother, you flatter me."
