Chapter 19: Auxiliary Binding!
"Xuner, sorry, looks like we've created some distance again."
Xiao Ze joked, earning a playful eye roll from Xiao Xuner, who then snorted lightly.
"I don't care, Xiao Ze gege. During this time, you must assist me in my cultivation!"
"Huh? But I've only just reached the Dou Shi realm. How can I assist you, who is at the Dou Zhe level?"
Xiao Ze said, somewhat dumbfounded.
"Hehe, then tell me, Xiao Ze gege, how did you manage to break through to the Dou Shi level with such a magnificent phenomenon?"
Curiously, Xiao Xuner leaned in, blinking her eyes rapidly, staring intently at Xiao Ze's face as if she could discern secrets from it.
"I really don't know how to teach that! Maybe it was a breakthrough that just happened naturally?"
"Hehe, no kidding, Xiao Ze gege. How does it feel to break through to Dou Shi this time?"
Xiao Xuner chuckled lightly, then became curious about Xiao Ze's current strength.
After all, what kind of strength could be cultivated from the previous phenomenon?
It made her itch with anticipation.
"It's unprecedentedly comfortable. Both my body and soul have been elevated! Solely based on physical fitness, I can take on ten of my former selves!"
Xiao Ze felt it for a moment, speaking earnestly.
His strength had improved significantly now, coupled with various combat skills.
At the low level of Dou Shi, he should be invincible.
"If I were to encounter the Elder again now, perhaps I wouldn't need to use the Swallow Return Strike like before to neutralize all his power. I might be able to face him head-on."
Xiao Xuner's eyes widened in surprise.
Xiao Ze had just ascended to Dou Shi, and his realm might not even be stable yet.
Yet the Elder was a Grand Dou Master!
Although the Elder had depleted his potential and his vitality was declining, he was still an experienced Grand Dou Master whose strength was absolutely incomparable to ordinary ones.
Now Xiao Ze had just ascended and could confront him.
It could be imagined how much Xiao Ze's strength had improved.
"Alright, you've just broken through to One-Star Dou Zhe, so go back and stabilize your realm."
Xiao Ze rubbed Xiao Xuner's head, asking her to go back and stabilize her realm first.
"Yeah yeah, Xiao Ze gege."
The two of them descended the mountain together, waving goodbye at the intersection.
Xiao Ze stood at the intersection, watching Xiao Xuner leave, then turned to look at the shadow beside him.
With his enhanced soul perception, Xiao Ze could easily sense the figure lurking there.
"Father, why hide? Is there something you need?"
"Ahaha, Ze'er, seeing you chatting with Xuner, it wouldn't be good for me to intervene!"
Xiao Zhan walked out from the shadow, rubbed his head, and laughed heartily.
"This... "
Xiao Zhan nervously looked at Xiao Ze, but unfortunately, Xiao Ze's aura was restrained, showing no signs of a breakthrough.
"Did Xuner say you were breaking through to Dou Shi just now?"
Xiao Zhan quickly asked, needing to confirm this matter personally.
"Yes, I just broke through."
Xiao Ze said, releasing a breath.
Xiao Zhan's eyes widened instantly, feeling the intensity of Xiao Ze's Dou Qi, making him couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"Very well! Ze'er, your talent is probably unique in the Xiao family for hundreds of years!"
"The future of the Xiao family might truly be in your hands!"
Xiao Ze smiled and nodded, chatting with Xiao Zhan for a while before returning to his residence.
He knew what the future of the Xiao family would be like. Not to mention revival and prosperity.
It would be good enough if the Xiao family could barely survive.
After all, that was the Soul Palace!
But there were still a few years before the Soul Palace made a move, enough time for Xiao Ze to develop.
At worst, when the time came, he could strike first, take out the Wuguardian, and sever the Soul Palace's spies in the Jialan Empire.
But silently eliminating a Dou Zong expert would still pose some difficulty for Xiao Ze.
It's not that Xiao Ze couldn't grow to the level of a Dou Zong, but time was not enough. He didn't have enough time to develop!
According to the timeline, two years later, Xiao Yan would face the divorce from Nalan Yanran.
Then came the "Thirty years in the east bank of the river, thirty years in the west bank of the river, don't bully the young and poor" three-year agreement.
After the three-year agreement, some time later, the incident of the Soul Palace joining forces with the Cloud Sect to destroy the Xiao family erupted.
And among them, the Soul Palace determined from somewhere that the Xiao family in the Wutan City was the Xiao clan of the past!
In the Xiao family's downfall, the Soul Palace secretly made a move, capturing the Xiao family patriarch, all for the ancient Emperor Yao's jade!
If he could take the lead and cut off their source of intelligence.
Perhaps Xiao Ze could have more time to develop.
Of course, that was something to consider in the future. For now, he needed to focus on improving his strength.
The key to whether Xiao Ze could further accelerate his strength lay in the two hints given by the system.
Xiao Ze looked at the system panel.
[Congratulations to Xiao Xuner for her strength improvement, reaching One-Star Dou Zhe, advancing to a higher realm, and congratulations to the host for receiving a special reward!]
[In addition to Xiao Xuner, the main binding holder, one auxiliary binding is added!]
Xiao Ze studied these two hints.
He roughly understood the conditions and requirements for the appearance of auxiliary binding.
Every time Xiao Xuner advances to a higher realm, she can receive special rewards!
Most likely, these were what they called auxiliary bindings.
Auxiliary bindings were different from main bindings.
Firstly, auxiliary bindings didn't completely bind a person but focused on a specific aspect!
It could be bloodline, ability, or physique!
Only when the bound aspect improved could Xiao Ze receive feedback.
At first glance, it seemed far less comprehensive than the main binding.
But auxiliary bindings had an advantage.
That was the multiplier of feedback, no longer fixed at ten times.
Specializing in one aspect, the feedback multiplier could be the same as the original.
It could also have a lucky explosion, feedback of ten thousand times!
For Xiao Ze, this had great appeal.
Although it was a gamble, he never lacked confidence. But people always had aspirations.
If by some chance there was indeed a ten thousand times feedback, then he would truly ascend in one step.
Xiao Ze quickly tried out the auxiliary binding.
The prerequisite for binding was to have some contact, even just a glance counted.
"Of course, it's to take a look at my third brother, Xiao Yan. After all, he was once an option that made me hesitate!"
After looking, Xiao Ze fell into silence. Xiao Yan's current situation... can be said to be a blank slate. The only thing he could boast about was his soul strength.
In the future, he could bind him with something like the Flame Mantra or the Alchemy Technique.
Xiao Yan's current situation was all about a promising future.
Xiao Ze suddenly noticed that the options given by the system did not include cultivation!
"It seems that auxiliary binding is only used to expand my abilities, talents, and physique?"
"Or, does the system not give me the possibility of exploiting loopholes? Also... when I get the auxiliary bindings later, I'll choose all cultivation."
"If one of them really explodes with a ten thousand times feedback, then I'll advance to a Dou Huang, and then a Dou Zong!"
Xiao Ze felt a bit regretful, but soon remembered the diverse talents and abilities that appeared in the continent of Dou Qi. It was enough for his growth.
Just obtaining a ten thousand times feedback for something like the Alchemy Technique would be enough to let him ascend in one step!
There were also the rainbow Swallow Sky Python bloodline, the Disaster Poison Body, the Azure Serpent Three Flower Pupils... any one of them with high feedback could benefit Xiao Ze immensely!
