Rencarnation Room {Other Story line}

Xiao Yi Xian, who heard the reproach, looked angry. Her face was flushed with annoyance, and with a swift movement she pulled the scouting insect apart.

"You human trash!" Xiao Yi Xian ranted, her voice full of anger. "You're even more perverted than Ji Lan! Or you two are the same!"

On the other side, Xiao Yan and El exchanged glances, their expressions serious, with the gloomy background of the cave adding to the surrounding tension. They both knew this was no ordinary fight.

Xiao Yan, with a hesitant voice, finally opened his mouth, "This..."

El who heard him only sighed softly, then closed her eyes for a moment. "Ji asked not to ask, later Ji will give a very interesting treasure."

"Oh? Interesting treasure...." Xiao Yan seemed to be getting interested. "What is it? Can you explain the description?"

El brought his face a little closer, whispering softly in an almost inaudible voice, "Anyway, something that you would definitely like."

"Hey, man... you're offering me treasure just like that. Aren't you afraid of me snatching it?" asked Xiao Yan. "Moreover, you also seem to dislike the treasure in the stone box."

El replied in a casual tone, while giving Xiao Yan a glance. "You want to snatch Ji's treasure? Practice for another five years, then try." He added with a faint smile, "After all, Ji has taste. The treasure here does not attract Ji's attention."

On the other hand, Mu Li, who was watching their conversation, snorted in annoyance. Her face was flushed with anger, and his eyes blazed with hatred.

"Sassy!" shouted Mu Li in a loud voice, interrupting their conversation. Her voice trembled with anger. "How dare you whisper about treasures in front of me!"

"Surround them! Take all the treasures! With this treasure, we can buy the entire force in Qingshan City!"

The order was immediately greeted by the Wolfhead Mercenary members who began to move, ready to attack.

Quickly, the entire Wolfhead Mercenary members within the cave surrounded El, Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yi Xian from all directions.

Their swords were raised, reflecting the faint sparkle of the dim firelight. The tension in the air was suffocating.

"Xiao Yi Xian!" exclaimed Mu Li as she clenched her right palm, as if asserting her power. "Remember this! Don't ever dream of escaping my grasp!"

Xiao Yi Xian stared at Mu Li sharply, with a tone full of contempt. "You despicable human, more disgusting than this pervert! I won't even follow you to death, let alone be with you!"

El, who had been calm, finally spoke in a cold tone, "Xiao Yi, please don't use Ji as a comparison."

Xiao Yi Xian instantly turned to El, her face flushed with annoyance. "Ji Lan, just shut up! And stop calling me by that pretentious name!" she said sharply, her voice rising even higher.

Xiao Yan, who was standing between them, patted El's shoulder lightly, gesturing with his eyes as if to say, I've been there.

El, though usually not easily swayed, raised her left eyebrow, feeling slightly intrigued by the response.

However, instead of responding, Xiao Yan merely sighed while shrugging his shoulders, as if giving in to the situation. El nodded slowly, as if understanding his meaning.

Somehow, there was a strange connection between El and Xiao Yan. They both felt there was an unspoken understanding, despite their different backgrounds.

Perhaps it was because they both came from the same place, a world called Earth.

In the information spread across the internet, it was known that Xiao Yan used to be a young man from the blue planet, or Earth, whose soul crossed dimensions and became trapped on the Dou Qi Continent.

El, a Beyonder, is also from Earth, but has gone through a different journey that brought her to this world.

Despite the different paths, there was an invisible similarity between them, a feeling that was hard to explain, as if they shared a piece of the same history.

Suddenly, a dense green mist enveloped the cave, spreading a sharp, nose-piercing scent. The poisonous powder slowly filled the air, making all the members of the Wolfhead Mercenary, including Xiao Yan, cough.

Within seconds, the effects began to be felt, their heads throbbed, bodies became numb, and balance began to waver.

"Ugh... my head is spinning!" exclaimed one of them, his voice weak and trembling.

"My body... can't move!" lamented another, falling to his knees with a gasp.

Mu Li, who was originally standing tall with confidence, suddenly gasped. "Hold your breath! This must be poison! That damn girl threw it!"

However, his warning was too late. Mu Li herself had also been affected by the poison, as his face began to turn pale and his movements slowed down.

On the other side of the cave, Xiao Yi Xian stood with a satisfied expression, staring at her perfectly dispersed poison effect.

As it turned out, in the middle of El and Xiao Yan's chat, at that time, Xiao Yi Xian had a little argument with everyone and Mu Li. However, at the end of the argument, Xiao Yi Xian threw her poison into the air.

As a result, everyone in the cave was poisoned, except for El and Xiao Yi Xian.

Xiao Yi Xian turned her head quickly towards El and Xiao Yan. "Xiao Yan! Ji Lan! Let's go before the poison- Ah! I forgot, only Ji Lan is immune to poison."

Xiao Yan, who had already been affected by the poison, leaned on El's shoulder with a weak face. "Ugh... headache... If you were going to throw poison, why didn't you say so from the start?" he complained in a hoarse voice.

El, who remained as calm as ever, just sighed lightly. "If you are not strong, just lean your body on Ji," he said while supporting Xiao Yan easily.

On the other hand, Xiao Yi Xian snorted, stomping her foot irritably. "If I had told them from the beginning, they would have realized!"

"You damn bitch!" exclaimed Mu Li angrily. Mu Li recovered from the poison because her realm was higher than the others, a six-star Dou Zhe.

The Dou Qi in his body rushed into his right arm, making it turn like hard wood. "You chose the path of violence, so this is the consequence!"

With swift movements and full force, Mu Li drove his fist towards Xiao Yi Xian, using the Lower Xuan Dou Technique: Wood Hardening.

Xiao Yi Xian, shocked and scared, could only close her eyes, her body trembling.

However, before the blow reached him, a strong hand held Mu Li's fist firmly.

El stood between them with an unwavering cold expression. Purple-colored Dou Qi flowed in the meridians of his right arm, strengthening his grip, until Mu Li's Dou Qi-coated fist was unable to move any further.

"What!?" Mu Li was startled, his eyes widening as he tried to withdraw his trapped hand.

'I shouldn't have to worry, a punch from a 7-star Dou Zhe with a lower-level Xuan Technique Dou is not difficult to withstand.' El thought, while grasping Mu Li's hand. 'Again my body is overreacting.'

With 100 attribute points plus the effects of Items, Skills, Titles, and Professions, El was able to defeat his opponent, without even needing to activate the Demon Slayer Mark and Rinnegan Skills. El, now was invincible under the realm of Dou Ling (Dou Spirit).

This reason was because Dou Qi practitioners in this world prioritized the quantity of Dou Qi in their bodies when fighting and Dou Techniques for high-level battles.

In this case, although the increase in STR, VIT, and AGI each time one small realm up only provides an additional 1 attribute point, a large amount of Dou Qi can increase those attributes significantly.

This was due to the stream of Dou Qi flowing from the Dantian through the Meridians, spreading throughout the body, and giving a tremendous boost to the practitioner's body systems, increasing their overall strength, endurance, and speed.

"Hahaha, good man!" Xiao Yan, who had finally recovered from the effects of the poison, exclaimed excitedly. "Grab him!"

As Xiao Yan approached, Dou Qi enveloped his fist with increasingly stronger energy. Seeing that Xiao Yan was about to launch an attack, El's eyes sparkling with Rinnegan opened for a moment.

Quickly, El read the flow of Dou Qi in Xiao Yan's meridians, analyzing the pattern and structure of the Dou Technique to be used.

"Dou Technique at the Lower Di Level: Octane Blast," El thought, studying every detail in a short period of time.

Xiao Yan delivered his punch to Mu Li's abdomen with full force. "Feel this!" he shouted.

Boom!

Xiao Yan's fist struck Mu Li's stomach hard, producing a thunderous impact sound. Mu Li gasped, blood flowing from his mouth as a result of the attack.

El cast a glance at Xiao Yan, who seemed proud of his punch. "Hmm, simple technique, but quite effective," El muttered to himself.

Now, El not only understood how the Octane Smash worked, but was also confident of being able to use it better if needed.
