Looking at the robust youth who had taken the initiative to challenge, the other clansmen who had not yet qualified immediately sighed with some regret. From the looks of it, they seemed to be very envious of the first person to eat crabs.
Xiao Yan widened his eyes as he sized up the young man in front of him. Although he did not recognize all the members of the clan, he had some impression of this young man in his memories.
If he remembered correctly, the young man's name was Xiao Ke, and he was a member of the Great Elder's faction. Usually, he would follow behind Xiao Ning like a little lackey. When he was down and out, he had also given Xiao Yan a good look.
Xiao Yan turned his head and made contact with Xun Er's playful gaze. He smiled and nodded under everyone's gaze. He softly laughed and said,"Alright, I accept."
The corner of Xiao Ke's eyes twitched when he saw Xiao Yan agree so readily. An unknown uneasiness quietly rose in his heart. His throat rolled a little and Xiao Ke suddenly regretted his recklessness.
However, although he was regretful, the arrow was already on the bowstring and he could not go back on his word.
"It's an illusion. No one can reach two star Dou Zhe in a year. This fellow must have used some method to deceive everyone! I can definitely defeat him!" After a round of encouragement, Xiao Ke forced a smile and said,""In that case, let me experience Xiao Yan Biao-di's strength!”
Xiao Yan smiled and did not speak. He stood up and walked into the training ground in front of everyone. Then, he made an inviting gesture to Xiao Ke.
Seeing the calm expression on Xiao Yan's face, the uneasiness in Xiao Ke's heart became even stronger. He laughed embarrassedly and slowly walked into the arena with his somewhat stiff steps.
Looking at the two people on the field, everyone around the training ground quickly shifted their gazes over.
On the high platform, Xiao Zhan took a cloth handkerchief from his attendant and wiped the water off his hands. He stared at the stage with a hint of nervousness in his eyes.
Truthfully speaking, not only were those young men feeling somewhat incredulous about the results that Xiao Yan had obtained, even Xiao Zhan himself also felt somewhat unreal deep within his heart. He could not be blamed for not believing Xiao Yan. After all, advancing to a two star Dou Zhe within a year was a speed that could be described as demonic. This speed was something that even the Xiao Yan from three years ago could not achieve.
It was also because the results were too rich that everyone found it hard to believe.
Regardless of whether they believed it or not, Xiao Yan's true strength would be revealed the moment he exchanged blows with others. At that time, everyone would be able to see Xiao Yan's true level!
Beside Xiao Zhan, the breathing of the three elders also gradually quickened. Their withered hands pinched a deep mark on the chair handle, and their turbid eyes stared at the field with complicated emotions.
All the gazes on the green stone training ground were firmly staring at the two people in the training ground. Whether the frightening result that Xiao Yan had displayed earlier was real or fake would be known the moment they fought!
"It's definitely fake!" At the edge of the square, Desolate Ning licked his dry lips and said in a low voice.
"It should be…fake, right?" In the crowd, Xiao Mei gently bit her red lips as she spoke in a somewhat confused manner. She also found it difficult to believe that this young man, who had been silent for three years, would suddenly obtain such a terrifying result.
Under the gazes of many pairs of complicated gazes, Xiao Yan and Xiao Ke in the arena had already completed the etiquette before exchanging blows.
Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Ke on the opposite side. There was some cold sweat on his forehead. After all, it was his first time fighting with someone. Xiao Yan was still very nervous.
Xiao Ke's hands were slightly raised and a faint Dou Qi lingered on them. He let out a deep breath and stomped his feet on the ground as his body rushed straight towards Xiao Yan.
Low-level battles didn't have any dazzling feeling. Everything was the simplest collision.
"Mountain Splitting Palm!"
Xiao Ke's body quickly moved to Xiao Yan's side. On his right hand, Dou Qi condensed slightly. He waved his right hand and ruthlessly hacked at Xiao Yan's chest.
The Mountain Splitting Palm was a Middle Yellow Class Dou Technique. Only those with 5 Duan Qi and above were qualified to learn it.
A gentle breeze that came in front of him blew the hair on Xiao Yan's forehead, revealing a pair of dark black eyes as well as an orange colored flame that had appeared on his forehead for some unknown reason. Xiao Yan blinked his eyes and calmly stared at the hand that was getting closer and closer.
Just as his palm was about to reach his shoulder, Xiao Yan slowly took a step to the left. His powerful intuition allowed him to clearly know where Xiao Ke would attack.
With just one step, Xiao Yan managed to dodge Xiao Ke's attack. He turned his body slightly and clenched his fist, passing through Xiao Ke's arm and striking his abdomen.
"Bang!" With a muffled sound, Xiao Ke's red face, which had been struck by Xiao Yan, immediately turned pale. With a muffled groan, he fell to the ground on the spot.
Everyone was silent. Xiao Ke's defeat had confirmed certain facts.
Xiao Yan looked at his own hand in surprise. The flame on his forehead had long disappeared. No way. Xiao Yan found it hard to believe. Could it be that a battle was actually so simple? This result was inevitable. Xiao Yan's strength was much higher than Xiao Ke's, and Xiao Ke's speed had increased Xiao Yan's strength. Therefore, it was very normal for him to defeat Xiao Ke with a single punch.
Of course, this question was different from Xiao Yan's own. At this moment, everyone outside the arena slowly closed their eyes. Since Xiao Yan was able to defeat a clan member with a 6 Duan Qi so easily, his strength was definitely above that of a 7 Duan Qi.
In this way, the frightening result that Xiao Yan had displayed earlier…was real!
Advancing to a two star Dou Zhe in a year. This kind of result could be called a miracle among miracles!
On the high platform, Xiao Zhan heaved a sigh of relief. He finally let go of the huge rock that was hanging in his heart.
"... Really, a Dou Zhe..."
Looking at the defeated Xiao Ke, Xiao Mei's small hand slowly covered her red lips as she muttered in shock.
…………………………
As they looked at the black-robed youth standing in the middle of the arena, the scene was slightly silent.
On the high platform, Xiao Zhan's smile slowly widened. In the end, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The three Elders exchanged glances with each other when they heard Xiao Zhan's proud laughter. They sighed softly in their hearts but did not say anything to stop him. The potential that the young man in the arena had displayed caused them to feel quite a sense of defeat in their hearts. A two star Dou Zhe in a year. This kind of speed was sufficient to cause anyone to feel shocked. It was likely that their descendants would not be able to catch up to him.
Xiao Zhan stood up happily and clapped his hands. He announced with a smile,""Nephew Xiao Ke has failed the challenge.”
In the arena, the pale-faced Xiao Ke immediately became a little dejected when he heard the verdict. His gaze was complicated as he looked at the black-clothed young man not far away. This person, who was mocked as trash a year ago, had actually once again reigned above everyone in the clan a year later. This drastic change caused Xiao Ke to suddenly recall the cold words of the young man in the hall that day."Thirty years is the east river, thirty years is the west river. Don't bully the young and poor!”
Shaking his head with a bitter smile, Xiao Ke climbed up with difficulty and bowed slightly to Xiao Yan. The disdain in his voice from before had finally disappeared completely,"Xiao Yan biao-di, you have won. Congratulations on your recovery!”
Xiao Yan smiled and nodded. He turned his head to the group of clan members who did not pass the test and said with a faint smile,"Is there anyone else who wants to challenge me?"
Seeing Xiao Yan look over, the group of young people who were originally stunned hurriedly shut their mouths. Each and every one of them raised their heads to the sky and pondered. However, no one dared to go up and be the second person to eat crabs.
Seeing these young and tender youths acting dumb, Xiao Yan shrugged his shoulders slightly, turned around, and walked to the back.
Xun Er smiled sweetly as she eyed Xiao Yan who was seated beside her. Her gaze swept over the entire arena. Her slender fingers curled a strand of her black hair into a swirl. Her small mouth was lifted into a faint arc as she softly said,"Xiao Yan ge-ge, they looked at you in this manner three years ago…"
"Is that so? But right now…I don't feel anything.”Xiao Yan calmly laughed.
"That is because Xiao Yan ge-ge has matured." Xun Er playfully blinked her big watery eyes.
"How can I be as mature as you? Xun Er, I always feel that you seem to be a little too mature!”Being seriously called mature by a little girl, Xiao Yan could not help but feel a little amused as he smiled and said.
Xun Er only smiled and did not speak.
"Detestable bastard, you can be arrogant all you want. You must have used some kind of method. On the day of the Coming of Age Ceremony, I will beat you until your teeth are all over the ground in front of Xun Er!”Clenching his fists tightly, Xiao Ning stared at Xiao Yan in the distance.
Although Xiao Ning was also shocked by Xiao Yan's training speed in the past year, his usual attitude of looking down on him made it difficult for him to discard the name of trash. Furthermore, as the younger generation of the clan, Xiao Yan's strength this time around had already made Xiao Ning faintly feel a sense of danger.
Taking advantage of the fact that he had yet to grow up, he would give him a heavy blow. It would be best if he could be defeated again!
Xiao Ning's heart was filled with thoughts as the corner of his mouth slowly lifted into a savage smile. Although Xiao Yan was currently a two star Dou Zhe, he was quite confident in his own talent. After all, if Xiao Yan could do it, why couldn't he?
……
After Xiao Ke failed to challenge Xiao Yan, no one dared to continue challenging him. The group of clan members who failed could only find another target. After a few rounds of competition, there were only two people who relied on their familiar Dou Techniques and some luck to defeat their opponents and successfully enter the qualified area.
Looking at the gradually calming training ground, Xiao Zhan stood up with a smile on his face. He loudly announced the end of the test and some things to pay attention to in the coming of age ceremony in a month.
Xiao Yan slowly stood up and smiled at the proud Xiao Zhan on the high platform. Xiao Zhan also gave a thumbs up to his son, who was in the limelight today.
He patted the dust off his clothes, and a fragrant wind blew against his face.
Frowning without leaving a trace, Xiao Yan raised his head and looked at Xiao Mei who was standing in front of him. He smiled and said,"What's the matter?"
Xiao Mei's heart rejoiced when she saw the smile on Xiao Yan's delicate and pretty face. A smile appeared on her face as she softly said,"Xiao Yan biao-ge, congratulations."
"Thank you." Xiao Yan nodded slightly and continued,"Is there anything else? If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving."
"Xiao Yan Biao-ge, my father will be teaching a High Huang Class Dou Technique in the Dou Technique Hall tomorrow.”Xiao Mei said with a smile. The contradiction between charm and innocence on her face was really tempting.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan's eyebrows quietly twitched.
Just as Xiao Yan was about to agree, a pair of slender, fair, and delicate wrists stretched out from the side and held his arm.
Xiao Yan was slightly startled. He turned his head only to see an elegant small face that was filled with a smile.
"I'm really sorry, Xiao Mei biao-jie. Xun Er has already invited Xiao Yan ge-ge to accompany me around Wu Tan City tomorrow. I might not be able to accompany Xiao Mei biao-jie to the Dou Technique Hall.”Xun Er intimately held onto Xiao Yan's arm in front of the many pairs of dull gazes around her. Her exquisite little face contained a little apology.
