CHAPTER 1 - Mysterious Egg

In a world where magic does not exist, in a world where the strongest makes the rules and the weakest obeys, a world full of beauties and treasures where there are also countless dangers.

This land who has strength, has dignity. Without strength you are nothing. As you train your Dou Qi level, you gain status and rank, within each Dou Qi rank there are sub-ranks indicated as stars, when you reach nine stars you have the potential to rank up. for example, a nine-star Dou practitioner will achieve the rank of Dou Master with his next increase in Dou Qi. The gap between each star will increase as each passes each rank and the rate of increase will also increase.

Dou Qi is also known as your combat energy or spirit power. On the Dou Qi continent, there weren't many stories of magic users and their effects, but rather that Dou Qi was the main star. In this great terrain, Dou Qi training had become commonplace after the hard work of countless people. who continued to train beyond generations, expanding the knowledge surrounding Dou Qi to the top. Dou Qi and humanity are the same in everyday life and as such, Dou Qi is extremely important on the mainland. It could be called irreplaceable!

As the number of levels in Dou Qi continued to increase, so did the number of ways to train him. Some were better than others, as expected. After going through an analysis system, the Dou Qi classifications in the Dou Qi continent were divided into four different classes: Tian, ​​Di, Xuan, Huang. And each class was further divided into beginner, medium, and high levels! The Dou Qi techniques you learned also determined how strong you would be. For example, if a person practiced a Xuan-class mid-range technique, they would naturally be stronger than a person who practiced a Huang-class high-range technique. In the Dou Qi continent, to differentiate the strong from the weak, there are 3 criteria that must be taken into account.

First, and also the most important, is the natural strength of your body. If a person only had a 1-star strength level, even if he practiced Tian-class high-ranking techniques, he would not be able to beat a Huang-class Combat Master.

Next is the level of technique. If two people of the same innate strength fight, the one with the better technique will obviously win.

Lastly, there is the Dou technique. Dou technique is a special kind of skill used when controlling Dou Qi and in the land of Dou Qi, Dou technique is also divided into Tian, ​​Di, Xuan, Huang. Dou Qi on the mainland speaks for itself, but the Dou Technique is different. Most of them start with a Huang Dou Technique class. If you wanted to learn more advanced control skills, you would need to join a sect or enroll in a Dou Technique school. Of course, there are some who, by chance, managed to learn skills that others had previously left behind, or those who have compatible Dou Techniques. For these people, their combat level may be a bit higher than normal.

Based on these 3 aspects, you can determine who is strong and who is weak. All in all, if you managed to learn a high-level Dou technique, the benefits in the future would be enormous.

However, high-level Dou Techniques are really hard to come by as a commoner. The ones that are open to the public are normal Huang-class techniques. For larger clans or smaller sects, Xuan-class techniques are the norm. For example, in Xiao Yan's clan, their highest level technique was only practiced by the clan leader, Lion Wind Strike. It was a wind-style Xuan-class mid-range Dou Technique.

Above the Xuan class would be the Di class, but these kinds of high-level techniques can only be obtained by a powerful country-like organization.

As for the Tian class, in a hundred years, it has not appeared once.

As stated above, commoners trying to get a high level technique is like trying to climb a mountain without equipment. However, nothing is absolute. In the world of Dou Qi, there are thousands of clans. In the north, there are people who are referred to as 'Invincibles'. They fused their soul with wild animals and became barbarians. In the south, there are intelligent and talented high-class beast spirit clans, and even strange and infamous people from the underworld.

Due to the vastness of the continent, there will surely be cases of anonymous figures who, by chance, came across a miracle that made them strong. Or, perhaps, there may be people who are forced by fate to discover solid techniques. In the land of Dou Qi, there is a famous phrase: If you find yourself trapped in a ditch or abandoned by the world, don't panic. Take two steps forward and you may find yourself stronger than ever.

Of course, while this line is not false, in the continent's thousand-year history, there are not many stories of people getting stronger by chance. As a result of this, every day, there are countless people trying to break through and discover a new skill or technique, but instead only come back with a broken hip or leg. Yet this continent is full of mysteries and miracles.

To access the Dou Qi Secret Techniques Vault, you need to be at least a full-fledged Dou Zhe to meet the basic requirements. It should be known that in the Dou Qi continent, your spirit is decided at birth. Maybe as you get older it will get a little stronger, but there is no known technique to train your spirit to be stronger.

...…

Jia Ma Empire (Misty Cloud Sect)

The Misty Cloud Faction is one of the main forces of the Jia Ma Empire. Its headquarters was built on top of a majestic mountain, located just a little over five kilometers from the capital of the Jia Ma Empire. The mountain, due The name of the faction became known as Misty Cloud Mountain.

Misty Cloud Mountain was a very rugged place. Three of its sides were cliffs and there was only one path that led to the top of the Mountain: a dangerous place that was easy to defend, but difficult to besiege. Furthermore, the faction's disciples closely patrolled the mountain, making the entire mountain a small fortress.

The Jia Ma Empire installed a garrison manned by 50,000 horsemen, located just one kilometer from the foot of Misty Cloud Mountain in the name of defending the capital. However, everyone could see that this was a move by the leader of the empire to protect himself against this fierce tiger that was near the capital.

The top of the mountain at the back of Misty Cloud Mountain was covered in clouds and mist, looking like paradise.

...…

At this moment all the disciples were gathered in the main courtyard, all witnessing the test of spirit power from the young genius that the Sect Master rescued.

Nalan yanran

In the center of attention was a girl wearing a very elegant purple dress. Standing and very calm, her face showed no effect under the gazes of the watching crowd.

Her calm and her indifferent attitude could be compared to a Lotus flower, clearly a more beautiful one. It was not at all surprising that the crowd had this kind of reaction.

Taking small graceful steps, the girl named Nalan Yanran walked towards the huge and majestic Frozen Mirror. She clasped her delicate hand and her purple sleeve fell from her arm, thus rolling a delicate white wrist. She lightly touched the huge Mirror ... silently the Frozen Mirror gave a majestic glow.

"Dou Zhe, Fifth stage! High rank!" Observing the words in the mirror, the entire square was absolutely silent.

"..... She really reached the fifth stage, how terrifying! Not long ago she was in the third stage, what kind of cultivation technique did the Sect Master give her?"

"The position of the highest rank among the young men in the clan certainly belongs to the young miss."

Nalan Yanran gave a smug smile, with a bit of arrogance and headed towards a woman who was sitting not far away with several Elders around her.

"Teacher". The girl exclaimed excitedly.

The woman smiled sweetly and stroked her precious disciple's hair.

"Yanran, your cultivation base is stable, I see that you listened to me and did not rush to reach the sixth stage, I notice that your body is in good condition to break, as expected of you." Said the woman with a smile.

Yun Yun

The lady wore a tight dress that covered her exquisite figure as she wielded a strange looking longsword that emitted a green colored light. Her black hair was held in place by a noble-looking phoenix accessory. Her beautiful and soulful face was very touched by the talent of her only disciple.

This is the leader of the Misty Cloud Sect

"Master, can I practice that technique now, please." Nalan Yanran pleaded.

"You are not ready yet, when you reach the Dou Shi stage I will pass it on to you." Yun Yun said laughing upon seeing her disciple pouting.

At that moment all the Elders along with Yun Yun made a strange face and looked up at the sky quickly.

"Teacher, something's wrong." Nalan Yanran asked confused.

Yun Yun did not reply and continued to solemnly look up at the tranquil sky.

After a few minutes when the entire main courtyard was in enormous tension, it could be seen that the previously calm sky turned fiery red and the next moment a kind of egg was seen rapidly falling and crashing into one of the Sect's buildings.

Boom *

The rumble was felt throughout the Sect. Everyone, whether it was Elders, Elders, and disciples rushed towards where the fiery red egg crashed.

Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran were no exception.

At this moment a figure hovered in the air and looked solemnly towards the crashed building.

The white figure wore an extremely simple long white robe. The gentle breeze passed and her long robe flapped, giving her a kind of elegant and otherworldly aura. Her age did not seem very old and her face did not have the lines that an old man should have. Instead, it was like warm jade that emitted a glow, from the reverence that had appeared on all the faces of the Misty Cloud Sect disciples below, it was clear that this person was the previous Sect Leader of the Misty Cloud and now Great Elder, Yun Shan.

He approached the ruined building and observed in a kind of crater a crimson-red egg, with strange symbols similar to different flames that exuded a sacred air.

"This.…

Yun Shan gulped involuntarily. The pressure emanating from the egg prevented him from getting any closer, no doubt it would burn him to death if he took another step or two towards the egg.

"Teacher who has passed." Yun Yun along with several Elders and Nalan Yanran approached him.

Yun Yun enveloped Nalan Yanran and several disciples who approached out of curiosity in a spirit field.

"With my cultivation base I can't even get close, that says a lot about the beast inside that strange egg, everyone prepare their best attack to make a joint attack, whatever is inside is a danger to the Sect, which I mean Sect, for the entire Jiang Ma Empire. " Yun Shan said solemnly.

"Master, is it a good idea to attack him?" Yun Yun hesitated. He has never agreed with the violent attitude of doing things of this young-faced old man.

"You have a better idea." Yun Shan said pissed off.

Yun Yun slightly shook his head and prepared to attack along with everyone as well.

Cock!

An infinity of spiritual attacks went in the direction of the strange egg, to eradicate the threat.

But no one expected a vortex of flame to condense in front of the egg to absorb the attacks.

As if the huge vortex didn't have enough, it increased the absorption capacity and began to absorb everyone's Dou Qi within a 100 kilometer radius, basically covering the entire Misty Cloud Sect.

"Teacher, what's going on." Nalan Yanran exclaimed sleepily as she felt her soul sucked out of her and absorbed her spiritual power.

"I don't know what's up, this is out of my hands." Yun Yun who was not much better answered him.

Yun Shan cursed at the decision to attack. Meanwhile, he only watched as all the disciples of his Sect fell unconscious by the Dou Qi absorbed from him.

After only the Elders remained, some Elders, Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran who transferred part of his Dou Qi to him, the flame vortex slowly became small until it completely disappeared.

No one spoke, only observed this strange event.

Cracks began to appear from the egg, then a small, tender fist broke the shell and pulled out its little hand.

Then it started to break and break as if to get out.

But everyone saw how the creature carried all the broken pieces inside and then heard a noise like chewing.
