Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

After putting away the array plate, Xiao Fan turned around and found that Zi Yan, who had been sleeping on the rock, had quietly run to his bed at some point. He smiled helplessly and didn't pull her off. After all, he had just made a profit and was in a good mood.

Zi Yan quietly opened one eye, looked at Xiao Fan sitting cross-legged on the rock, a smile flashed across her face, and then gradually fell asleep on the warm bed.

After a short rest, the three headed back towards the location of the Turtle Spirit Earth Fire on the map. The original forest was quickly left behind, and the surrounding environment turned into an endless desert, with the temperature gradually rising.

A day later, Xiao Fan looked at the map in his hand, glanced at the calm desert in front of him, and narrowed his eyes.

"This is it."

The location of the Tortoise Spirit Earth Fire, as marked on the map, is right here. Moreover, Xiao Fan felt a familiar sense of oppression in the air, just as heavy as when he first encountered the Fallen Heart Flame. However, Xiao Fan did not take this sense of oppression to heart at all. Looking at the desert in front of him, which was as calm as a lake, Xiao Fan reached out and slapped his hand, and a huge handprint was imprinted on the ground.

Chapter 11 Tortoise Spirit Earth Fire

In the tranquil desert, what appeared before Xiao Fan and his companions was an area resembling a calm lake. As the breeze blew, the grains of sand in the center surged like ocean waves, creating a rather peculiar sight.

"Hmph, such a trivial skill, how dare you show off your amateur skills before an expert!"

Feeling the scorching heat in the air, Xiao Fan's eyes flashed with a hint of mockery. Then, he pressed down with his right hand, and a huge palm appeared above the sea of ​​sand, pressing down with a sharp aura.

"roar~"

As Xiao Fan made his move, a piercing roar echoed from the sea of ​​sand. Then, a massive figure emerged from the sand, raised its head, and tore the hand in mid-air to shreds with a single bite.

It then disappeared back into the sea of ​​sand.

"Sigh~"

Although it only lasted two or three seconds, Xiao Yan and Zi Yan saw the monster's appearance very clearly.

Xiao Fan's attack was easily swallowed by a colossal creature that was tens of meters long.

The monster resembled an enlarged version of a giant tortoise. Its body, emerging from the sand, was yellowish-brown in color. Its massive shell was covered with dense, strange runes. Its enormous head crushed Xiao Fan's attack in one bite. Its ferocious and terrifying maw was filled with teeth as sharp as blades, and wisps of brown flame rose continuously from its mouth.

"This is the Tortoise Spirit Earth Fire?"

Looking at the enormous creature before him, Xiao Yan felt the terrifying aura emanating from it. Even though he was already a four-star Dou Huang, the thought of devouring such a thing sent chills down his spine. He couldn't help but ask Xiao Fan, who was standing to the side, for a question.

Upon seeing such a terrifying beast, coupled with the unsettling aura emanating from it, Zi Yan lost all her energy. She stood aside with a frown, glaring at Xiao Fan and his companion, her eyes seemingly saying, "Weren't you going to deal with this behemoth? Go for it!"

This was also the first time Xiao Fan had seen the appearance of the Tortoise Spirit Earth Fire. Hearing Xiao Yan's question, he nodded and then said, "This giant beast should be the form that the Tortoise Spirit Earth Fire has transformed into, just like the giant fire dragon that the Fallen Heart Flame transformed into. Let me test the strength of this big guy first."

As soon as Xiao Fan finished speaking, he flew up and hovered above the sea of ​​sand. The giant beast, after absorbing Xiao Fan's attack, fell back into the sea of ​​sand and hid completely within it.

Unable to detect the giant beast, Xiao Fan remained calm. A golden light appeared in his eyes, and a blurry energy appeared in his field of vision in the sea of ​​sand, hurtling towards the ground at high speed.

"roar~"

With a roar, the surrounding sand was stirred up, and then the giant tortoise's ferocious head surged out of the sea of ​​sand and bit down at Xiao Fan in mid-air.

"Oh, you're looking for death!"

Seeing the other party's plan, Xiao Fan's eyes flashed with disdain. He clenched his right hand behind him to gather strength, and the surrounding space subtly connected with Xiao Fan's fist. Then, Xiao Fan threw a punch, and with the repulsion of the surrounding space, the power of the punch increased several times. A huge fist imprint flew out from Xiao Fan's fist and directly hit the giant tortoise's lower jaw.

This is a fist technique that Xiao Fan learned from Zi Yan during this period. It utilizes the power of space to amplify the power of his attacks several times over. However, this method requires extremely sensitive control over space. The Ancient Void Dragon Clan has a natural affinity for space due to their physique, while Xiao Fan forcibly utilizes the power of space through his powerful soul force.

The giant tortoise, which had been charging upwards, lowered its head after being attacked by Xiao Fan, and then crashed down into the sea of ​​sand, sending the surrounding sand flying several meters high. The dense sand grains instantly filled the area.

"Roar!"

Seemingly realizing that Xiao Fan was not easy to deal with, the giant beast roared again, and a tornado roared out from its sky, constantly pulling in the surrounding sand grains, forming a sandstorm that blotted out the sky in the blink of an eye, making it almost impossible to see anything in front of you within its range.

Xiao Fan showed a hint of disdain at such an attack. He had already tested the giant tortoise's attack and found it to be extremely weak. The truly terrifying aspect probably lay in its astonishing defensive capabilities.

Seeing that the sandstorm connecting heaven and earth was about to engulf him, Xiao Fan was not worried. The chaotic fire in his body enveloped his body, and with a movement, he flew rapidly towards the center of the sandstorm.

At the very center of the sandstorm was the mouth of the giant beast. Sensing the chaos emanating from Xiao Fan, a hint of fear flashed in the beast's yellowish-brown eyes, and it was about to shut its mouth when Xiao Fan appeared before it and entered its mouth.

Sensing Xiao Fan's movements, the giant beast roared in terror, unleashing a terrifying sonic wave that attempted to knock Xiao Fan away. However, Xiao Fan, who was prepared, easily blocked the attack. A layer of illusory shield appeared on Xiao Fan's body, and he stood steadily inside the giant beast's mouth. Looking at the brown flames burning on the giant beast's teeth, a hint of excitement flashed in Xiao Fan's eyes.

"So this is the Tortoise Spirit Earth Fire...?"

The Tortoise Spirit Earth Fire barely appears in the original novel, so Xiao Fan doesn't know much about it. However, with the Chaos Fire and his excellent soul perception, Xiao Fan can naturally detect that the brown flames attached to the teeth are the true form of the Tortoise Spirit Earth Fire.

After the giant tortoise roared, Xiao Fan moved and tried to get closer to its teeth. However, as Xiao Fan moved, the temperature inside the giant tortoise's mouth became increasingly terrifying, and a suffocating feeling of heat gradually emanated from it.

"Ok?"

Xiao Fan's heart stirred, and as soon as he turned around, a yellowish-brown energy surged directly from the giant tortoise's throat, the enormous energy rushing towards Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan sensed the energy within, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

"I was just worried that there was nothing to nourish the Chaos Fire, this is just in time."

Xiao Fan laughed loudly, and the Chaos Fire appeared in front of him, like a pitch-black black hole, directly blocking all the energy impact emitted by the giant tortoise.

However, upon closer inspection, it can be discovered that the energy emitted by the giant tortoise was not blocked, but rather swallowed up by the Chaos Fire. Xiao Fan also continuously mobilized his soul power to suppress all the terrifying force emanating from the energy.

"Hiss, I can't swallow anymore..."

At one point, Xiao Fan sensed that the energy within the Chaos Fire had briefly reached its peak. His expression changed, and he pushed with his right hand, then pushed himself to the side to avoid the energy burst.

Without Xiao Fan's obstruction, the surging energy roared out from the giant beast's mouth and shot into the sky. A yellowish-brown energy beam shot straight into the sky, and the scorching heat instantly spread throughout the desert.

......

In the Mulan Empire, a place of luxurious surroundings, three old men sat together discussing something. Suddenly, their expressions changed, and they all looked in the same direction. They exchanged glances, nodded, and then disappeared from the spot.

Chapter 12 Seeking Death, He Met the Living Yama

Without Xiao Fan's obstruction, a vast amount of energy poured out from the giant beast's mouth. Xiao Yan, who was about to approach, could only temporarily avoid the attack because he could feel the energy emanating from the beast's mouth.

After a while, the energy in the giant beast's mouth gradually weakened. Then Xiao Yan saw that the runes on the shell on the back of the originally huge beast gradually emitted light, and then cracks quickly covered the entire body of the giant beast.

A series of cracking sounds rang out, and the ferocious beast, which was originally tens of meters in size, gradually split apart in Xiao Yan's sight, turning into yellow sand that fell down.

As the giant beast turned into yellow sand, Xiao Fan's figure was revealed, and opposite him, a miniature giant tortoise was roaring at Xiao Fan.

The miniature version of the Turtle Spirit was only seven or eight meters in size, enveloped in brown flames that churned and radiated a scorching, heavy aura.

"This must be the fire spirit of the Tortoise Spirit Earth Fire."

Xiao Fan looked at the turtle spirit that had shrunk several times in size before him, and felt the aura emanating from it. He nodded slightly, then reached out his hand, and the pitch-black flames, like an eerie ghost, quickly enveloped the turtle spirit.

"roar~"

Sensing the aura of the Chaos Fire, a hint of fear flashed in the Turtle Spirit's brown eyes, and it struggled continuously. However, under Xiao Fan's suppression of strength, the Turtle Spirit had no ability to resist at all.

Soon, the Chaos Fire enveloped the Turtle Spirit. Streams of pitch-black flames, like chains, completely surrounded the giant turtle, suppressing it within.

After a while, Xiao Fan looked at the tortoise spirit that could no longer move inside the chaotic fire, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes. He flew forward and landed in front of the tortoise spirit. Looking at the tortoise spirit so close to him, Xiao Fan's expression turned serious. He reached out his right hand and placed it on the top of the tortoise spirit's head. Vast soul power surged into the tortoise spirit's body along Xiao Fan's arm.

"Got you."

As Xiao Fan's soul power continued to explore within the Turtle Spirit's body, he soon sensed the origin of the Turtle Spirit's Earth Fire. A fist-sized brown energy flame was controlled by Xiao Fan and separated from the Turtle Spirit's body. As the origin was separated, the Turtle Spirit visibly weakened, and its overall aura also weakened.

Seeing the fist-sized brown flame before him, Xiao Fan didn't hesitate any longer. The Chaos Fire roared past and swallowed it whole.

[Ding! Absorbed the essence of the Turtle Spirit Earth Fire, Battle Qi value +150]

As the Tortoise Spirit Earth Fire entered his body, Xiao Fan felt that the power of the Chaos Fire had increased significantly once again. From Xiao Fan's experience, the Chaos Fire he now controlled, in terms of power alone, was even able to rival the top ten flames on the Strange Fire Ranking.

With his increased battle qi, Xiao Fan's strength as a three-star Dou Zong rose again, officially entering the realm of a four-star Dou Zong.

Moreover, as he absorbed the essence of the Tortoise Spirit Earth Fire, Xiao Fan clearly felt that his physique seemed to have become more closely aligned with his own.

"puff!"

With a thought, brown flames appeared out of thin air, enveloping his entire body. In that instant, Xiao Fan clearly felt that his defense and recovery abilities had been greatly enhanced.

"I see......"

Sensing the characteristics of the Tortoise Spirit Earth Fire, Xiao Fan understood that it could grant its owner better recovery abilities. In other words, the owner of the Tortoise Spirit Earth Fire was a qualified tank who could safely absorb damage at the front.

Having absorbed the essence of the Tortoise Spirit Earth Fire, Xiao Fan turned to Xiao Yan beside him and said with a smile, "Junior brother, let's begin. The Tortoise Spirit Earth Fire is currently in a weakened state. With the Earth Fire Pill in hand, you shouldn't encounter any accidents when you devour it."

As Xiao Fan finished speaking, the surrounding chaotic fire continued to burn, and the original tortoise spirit gradually shrank, finally transforming back into a fist-sized, brown, miniature tortoise spirit that appeared in front of Xiao Yan.

Looking at the strange fire before him, Xiao Yan nervously swallowed, took out the Earth Fire Pill and swallowed it. Immediately, he felt the scorching heat around him disappear completely, and the sense of danger emanating from the Turtle Spirit Earth Fire also disappeared. A hint of joy flashed across his face. He nodded to Xiao Fan, reached out and grabbed the Turtle Spirit Earth Fire in front of him, and swallowed it in one gulp.

After swallowing the Tortoise Spirit Earth Fire, Xiao Yan's next task was to circulate it according to the Burning Technique and then put it into the Spirit Absorption Space.

Xiao Fan looked at Xiao Yan, who had devoured the Turtle Spirit Earth Fire and sat down cross-legged, without the slightest surprise. He waved his hand, signaling that Zi Yan in the distance could come over.

Zi Yan noticed Xiao Fan's movements, and as the uncomfortable atmosphere in the air gradually disappeared, she stomped her foot, causing the space to distort, and she appeared directly in front of Xiao Fan.

Looking at Zi Yan's abilities, Xiao Fan couldn't help but be amazed by the talent of the Ancient Void Dragon. Having only entered the Dou Huang realm, it was already able to use spatial power at a small distance. It was truly a darling of the spatial path.

Just as Xiao Fan was about to speak again, he raised an eyebrow and looked towards the distant horizon. Soon, three figures appeared in Xiao Fan's sight. Just as Xiao Fan was wondering who the newcomers were, he heard their arrogant words.

"May I ask who you are? Do you not know that this place is the territory of my Mulan Empire?"

Upon seeing Xiao Fan and his group, the elder at the head of the group sensed the lingering energy fluctuations in the surrounding world and immediately concluded that some rare and precious artifact had appeared there, but the other party had gotten there first.

When the three elders of Mulan saw that Xiao Yan's aura was only that of a four-star Dou Huang, and that he was sitting cross-legged on the ground, they were certain that Xiao Fan's strength was probably only at the Dou Huang realm as well. They immediately conceived the idea of ​​taking this rare item for themselves.

Upon hearing their words, Xiao Fan immediately realized that these three were probably the Mu Lan Three Elders mentioned in the original story.

Although the three elders of Mulan were only at the peak of the Dou Huang realm, they possessed a cultivation technique that could elevate one of them to the Dou Zong realm. Furthermore, this Dou Zong power could be transferred between them at any time. In the original story, they were an extremely troublesome force for the Jia Ma Empire during the great battle.

"Tsk tsk, what a pity..."

Xiao Fan looked at the three of them, shook his head without making a move, took out a chair from his storage ring, lay down on it, glanced at Zi Yan beside him, scratched his head and said, "How about... you go?"

Zi Yan glanced at Xiao Fan. She was reckless, not stupid. How could a little girl like her, who had just broken through to the Dou Huang realm, deal with three peak Dou Huangs?

Ignoring Xiao Fan, Zi Yan followed his example, took out a chair from her storage ring, and comfortably lay down on it.

Xiao Fan: ......
