Tang Xiao could naturally hear their conversation; he felt fortunate and grateful to have people who cared so much about him. He would rather not depend on them, and he wanted to beco stronger so he could protect himself and them. ’Xiao Ai, are there other stones like sun stones in this universe?’
[There are many other stones that represent each elent, and they can enhance each elent, like the sun stone, Master. I don’t know their exact number, but my old master and I have t three people who owned them in the past. The three of them were users of gale stone, representing the wind elent; blizzard stone, representing the ice elent; and quake stone, representing the earth elent.]
’I see.’ Tang Xiao nodded in understanding and thought about getting those stones to increase his strength, but he felt it was useless to think about it now, as it was still far beyond his reach. ’I’ve already broken through to the Xiantian level, so I think I’ll learn new techniques now.’
[Master, your fire elent is the most dominant now thanks to the sun stone, so I will transfer so fire techniques to you.]
"Oh?" Tang Xiao imdiately read the techniques that appeared in his mind.
[Elent Manipulation (Active): The user can manipulate their Qi into weapons, armor, and more. Qi consumption: low. Grade: Rare.]
[Fire Fist (Active): This fist technique not only strengthens the user’s attack but also produces a powerful explosion as an aftereffect. Qi consumption: dium. Grade: Rare.]
[Fire Rain (Active): An AOE attack technique, the user can summon a rain of fire that can scorch a large area. Qi consumption: high. Grade: Epic.]
’Hmm, these three techniques are good enough for now, so I have a strong single attack and an AOE attack.’ Although he still didn’t know the power of the three techniques, Tang Xiao was satisfied with them. Currently, he only had one attack technique, but it wasn’t powerful because his lightning elent was still level one. ’I’ll start learning the fire fist first.’
Tang Xiao read how to use the fire fist technique while thinking about it seriously, and he tried using it after he fully understood it. He released his fire qi directly, which imdiately enveloped both of his hands. ’Xiao Ai, bring out so practice dummies; I want to try this technique.’
[Yes, Master]
From a distance, Tang Huang and the others raised their eyebrows as three practice dummies erged from one side of the area and positioned themselves in front of Tang Xiao, leaving them curious about his intentions.
Tang Xiao smiled faintly and dashed towards one of the training dummies, and he punched it with all his might. Instantly, it was sent flying towards the back by his punch, but it exploded a second later due to the aftereffects of his fire fist technique.
*Boom*
Tang Huang and the others were stunned after they saw that, but the training dummy didn’t appear to have suffered any damage, even though it looked charred from Tang Xiao’s fire attacks as well as the explosive effects of the technique.
"Hmm? This thing is strong and durable, even though I punched it with all my might, but it didn’t break at all." Tang Xiao said this in awe as he looked at the training dummy lying on the floor.
[That’s for sure, Master! The practice dummies are strong and durable, as my old master used special materials to create them. They neutralized his attacks by 50%, or else they would have been destroyed by him.]
Tang Xiao nodded in understanding, closed his eyes, and learned the fire rain technique. After a few minutes, he opened his eyes and took a deep breath. "The fire rain technique is more complicated than the fire fist technique, but I have alternative thods to use it more easily."
Tang Xiao took a stance like an archer, and he straightened his left hand to the side, and his right hand was like pulling an arrow. Soon, a sizeable scarlet fire qi bow appeared in his left hand, and several fire qi arrows also appeared in his right hand.
"Haha." Tang Xiao laughed softly and shot the arrows into the air, but they suddenly scattered around and turned into many small arrows. "Fire Rain!"
Quickly, those small fire arrows shot towards those practice dummies, and their attacks produced a powerful explosion, making the entire training ground tremble.
*Boom... Boom... Boom...*
"Ahh! Big Brother! You caused an earthquake in this place!" Mu Yan shouted from a distance as she hugged Mu Qingge, who was seriously watching Tang Xiao.
Not only her, but Tantai Lingyan and Tang Huang also looked serious watching him, and they felt that the effect of Tang Xiao’s attack was quite powerful despite his cultivation still being at the Xiantian level.
’Whether old master or young master, they have extraordinary comprehension. He could think of combining the fire rain technique and the elent manipulation technique so quickly; it’s no wonder that people call him the training and battle maniac.’ Xiao Ai muttered in awe.
Despite this, Tang Xiao was not satisfied with it because his speed of executing the three new techniques was still too slow, and he started practicing to master elent manipulation more deeply first. This ti, he not only used his fire elent, but he also tried to manipulate his other five elents.
Unlike his fire elent and the rest, Tang Xiao finds it difficult to manipulate his void elent, but he certainly doesn’t want to give up so easily, and he tries to repeat it again and again. Even though it was still not perfect, he was quite satisfied with the result, and he started practicing his fire fist for quite so ti, but he combined it with his gale steps and martial arts that he had learned since childhood.
Soti later, Tang Xiao had changed the Atropos glory into a scarlet bow, and he started practicing using the fire rain, which made explosions continue to sound in the ears of the audience. The entire area continued to shake violently, as his weapon provided much stronger explosive power than his qi bow.
Not stopping there, Tang Xiao also practiced using various weapons with all his elents, combining them with the elent manipulation technique.

"Why do I feel like Xiao’er is cheating?" Tantai Lingyan asked with a bitter smile, knowing that Tang Xiao could use many types of weapons and possessed various elental abilities. "No cultivator on Earth II can do what he’s doing now, and I can’t even imagine his future, as he’s simply too amazing."
"Haha." Tang Yin nodded in agreent with a chuckle. "Xiao’er does have too many cheats, Big Sis Lingyan."
"The most remarkable thing about him is that he mastered all types of weapons, both short-range and long-range." Mu Qingge spoke as her eyes continued to follow Tang Xiao’s movents. She was amazed to see him like that because she had never t another cultivator who could use various kinds of weapons besides Tantai Lingyan, but she was now witnessing the second person who could do so.
"Since childhood, Xiao’er has loved various weapons, Qingge. However, do not assu that he mastered them easily; he often trained with one weapon for days, weeks, and sotis even months. Once he mastered one weapon, he switched to another, and he continued to do so for years." Tantai Ling Yan said this with a proud smile, as she was the one who taught Tang Xiao everything, but he himself was the one who worked so hard to achieve everything. "Even though his body was exhausted, he still continued to train, and he pushed his body to the limit; sotis he could train from morning until midnight. Apart from mastering various types of weapons, he also managed to master various types of martial arts."
’No wonder Old Master is always practicing diligently; he can even train for days without stopping.’ Xiao Ai, who was beside them, silently muttered; she herself had witnessed Old Tang Xiao’s tenacity in training.
Tang Huang shook his head while listening to them, but he also looked proud to see his grandson so serious in his training. "You have created a monster, Lingyan. Xiao’er will surpass us all, and I am sure that he will be able to defeat Long Yin in the future."
"Yes." Tantai Lingyan nodded in agreent with that. "I have the sa confidence in him as you, Old Huang. However, his path is still long and steep, so I hope he won’t lose his way before reaching his goal, or else his talents and advantages will be wasted."

After so ti passed, Tang Xiao finally decided to end his practice, but he suddenly rembered sothing and asked Xiao Ai directly. ’Does your old master have sothing like a clone technique?’
[Clone Technique? Do you want to use your clone to dual-cultivate with my mistress and Xing Xing, Master?] Xiao Ai inquired inquisitively, particularly considering that a significant number of dual cultivators employ this technique.
Tang Xiao shook his head. ’I will never use my clones to dual-cultivate with my wives, but I will probably use them against my enemies. Most importantly, I want to be able to be in several places at once, allowing to spy on the Ouyang family, cultivate, and practice martial arts at the sa ti.’
Xiao Ai could understand Tang Xiao’s wishes since his nature was exactly the sa as that of her old master, so she directly passed on the clone technique to him.
