"Second Elder, is the test over?”
Xiao Yan looked at the large golden words on the stone tablet and slowly withdrew his hand. He glanced at the second Elder beside him, whose mind was a little absent-minded, and asked in a faint voice.
"Oh, uh, it's over…" The second Elder was startled awake by Xiao Yan's voice and nodded his head in a somewhat panicked manner. From the drifting and scattered gaze, it was clear that he was still in a state of shock.
"Sigh, five Duan Qi in a year? This cultivation speed…is terrifying." After a long while, the second elder slowly regained consciousness. He looked at the young man in front of him with a complicated expression and sighed softly in his heart. The doubt in his old eyes finally disappeared completely in the face of reality.
The golden light on the black stone tablet gradually dissipated. A moment later, it once again returned to a deep and cold black color.
The golden light dissipated, and the entire place was still silent. Clearly, everyone was still immersed in the shock from before.
" Cough…" On the high platform, the Second Elder's cough finally pulled back the gazes of everyone present.
"The test ceremony has been completed. According to the previous rules, Xiao Yan will accept a challenge. The authority to challenge is below that of a Dou Zhe.”The Second Elder's gaze swept over the younger generation of the Xiao clan as he softly cried out.
If the test of the ceremony was to test the strength of one's Dou Qi, then this challenge was to test the level of one's mastery of Dou Techniques. After all, in a life and death battle, Dou Techniques were also an important factor in determining the outcome of the battle. The importance of Dou Techniques was no less than the cultivation of Dou Qi.
Hearing the Second Elder's cry, a commotion broke out below the stage. The younger generation of the Xiao clan all looked at each other and were so timid that they did not dare to open their mouths to speak. The golden light of the 8 Duan Dou Qi on the black stone tablet had already shattered the last bit of hope they had in their hearts.
The current them no longer had the qualifications to flaunt their might in front of Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan quietly stood in the middle of the arena. His gaze randomly swept over those people of the same age below the arena. Each time his gaze landed on the spot, those young men would hurriedly take a step back.
"Hmph, a bunch of cowards!" Looking at the retreating clansmen, Desolate Ning cursed in disdain. He raised his head and stared at the black-robed young man in the arena provocatively. He took a step forward and was about to step onto the stage when a jade-like hand pulled him back.
Frowning, Xiao Ning looked at his sister unhappily,"What's wrong?"
"He's currently at 8 Duan Qi, you might not be able to defeat him.”Xiao Yu sighed.
The corner of Xiao Ning's mouth twitched and he hesitated for a moment. His eyes involuntarily drifted towards Xun Er who was not far away, only to see that the young lady was gently watching Xiao Yan. That delicate and moving appearance had never been revealed in front of him…
Gritting his teeth, Xiao Ning shook off Xiao Yu's hand. His childish face was filled with coldness and jealousy,"I've been at 8 Duan Qi for more than a year now, how could I not be able to deal with a newbie?”
Looking at Desolate Ning's stubborn and jealous face, Xiao Yu felt a little helpless. After hesitating for a moment, she suddenly took out a round green pill and stroked it with some reluctance. Then, she quickly stuffed it into Desolate Ning's hand and said in a low voice,"This is a tier two medicinal pill,'Qi Increasing Powder.' It can allow you to possess the strength of a Dou Zhe for a short period of time. However, after eating it, you will have to lie in bed for a month. It is best not to use it unless it is absolutely necessary.”
Hearing this, Desolate Ning immediately grabbed it in his hand and said happily,"With this thing, we can definitely teach that guy a lesson!”
Xiao Yu frowned and lightly scolded," Don't mess around. Just give him a bit of suffering. If he gets seriously injured, even grandfather won't be able to protect you. The current him is no longer the trash he used to be."”
"Yes, yes, I understand…" Xiao Ning nodded his head indifferently. He curled his lips into a smile and turned his gaze to Xun Er."I will let you know that that fellow is nothing but an embroidered pillow.”
Sneering coldly, Xiao Ning broke free from Xiao Yu's grasp and climbed onto the platform, shouting loudly,"I'll do it!"
Hearing someone's reply, everyone's eyes immediately gathered on Desolate Ning. This feeling of being the center of attention made his face even more proud.
Looking at Desolate Ning who was walking over, the Second Elder frowned and turned his gaze towards the VIP seats. As expected, he saw the ugly expression on the Great Elder's face. He sighed helplessly and cursed in his heart,"Idiot who doesn't know what's good for you! Do you still think that the current Xiao Yan is the trash from the past?”
Desolate Ning didn't notice the ugly expression on the Second Elder's face. He walked over with big steps and said with a proud smile,"Xiao Yan, let me test just how strong your fighting strength is.”
Xiao Yan lazily raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Ning in front of him. He didn't even bother to reply.
"Xiao Ning challenges Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan, do you accept?”Xiao Ning had already arrived at the center of the stage,
The second elder could only helplessly say loudly.
"You won't reject it, will you? "Xun Er is watching, you won't disappoint her, right…" Touching the pill in his sleeve, Xiao Ning's confidence skyrocketed. He glanced at the elegant young lady below the stage and sneered.
"Idiot…" Xiao Yan spat out these two words in his heart. He rubbed his nose and nodded under the gazes of everyone."I accept."
The second Elder once again sighed helplessly when he saw Xiao Yan nod his head. He waved his hand and used a low voice that only the two of them used to cry out as he withdrew,"Remember, don't go too far!"
Desolate Ning curled his lips.
Xiao Yan similarly shrugged his shoulders in a noncommittal manner.
As the Second Elder retreated, the atmosphere on the high platform instantly tensed up!
