In fact, the coming of age ceremony was just to select those who were below 7 Duan Qi!
And this ritual retesting was the real coming of age ceremony! The most important thing for a family to maintain its longevity was to maintain its vitality. The source of vitality came from the younger generation of the family. They were the fresh blood of the family. Only with the continuous influx of fresh blood could the big machine of the family keep running.
Therefore, the Coming of Age Ceremony was a big day that every family clan placed great importance on, and the Xiao family was no exception.
As one of the three great clans of Wu Tan City, the coming of age ceremony of the Xiao clan naturally attracted the attention of various factions in the city. Some factions that were friendly with them were even directly invited to participate in the coming of age ceremony.
As soon as Xiao Yu arrived at the huge limestone field, he noticed that there was an enchanting woman in a red dress near the giant wooden platform. She was chatting with people with a sweet smile. Her exquisite figure was faintly discernible under the red dress. At this moment, there were already many people surrounding her, and it seemed to have become the most lively circle below the stage.
Xiao Yu thought,"This person should be Ya Fei!" It was indeed as the original novel had said! o()o Alas! You must be careful of this woman!"
Xiao Yu's eyes scanned the surroundings once more and discovered a beautiful woman dressed in what appeared to be the academy's uniform leaning against a large tree. The beautiful woman had a long sword at her waist and her figure was rather tall. The most eye-catching thing about her was her pair of long, round legs. This pair of long legs was something that even the alluring Ya Fei did not possess.
"This should be Xiao Yu!" Xiao Yu smiled. Hehe!" Xiao Yu's gaze continued to stare at Xiao Yu until Xiao Yu walked towards Xiao Yan who was under the big tree!
Xiao Yu walked in front of Xiao Yan and heard,"Ah, Xiao Yan, I didn't expect that you would have a chance to turn the tables around. It's really surprising."”Xiao Yu coldly laughed as she walked closer and saw the impatience on Xiao Yan's face that he was too lazy to hide.
"None of your business."
Xiao Yan clearly did not like Xiao Yu. His usual indifference was completely abandoned at this moment. He opened his mouth and cursed.
"Your mouth is still as crafty as ever. It seems that these three years of being down and out still haven't worn down your spirit.”Xiao Yu looked down at Xiao Yan and said in disdain. Her tone was like she was lecturing him from above.
"This tone again…" Sighing with extreme disgust in his heart, Xiao Yan tilted his head slightly and carefully sized up the woman he had not seen for a year. After which, his gaze slowly shifted to that pair of sexy and round long legs."Your legs are still so long. I wonder if any other man has touched them since that year?”
Hearing this, Xiao Yu, who was laughing coldly, immediately had a livid expression.
Xiao Yu said helplessly,"Oh!" I'm speechless!" Seeing that Xiao Yu was about to fight with Xiao Yan, Xiao Yu stood there and waited to watch a good show!
However, Xiao Yu was disappointed because Xiao Zhan suddenly brought Ya Fei over! Xiao Yu hurriedly left! After that, Xiao Yu randomly found a big tree and sat there!
He thought, O()o Alas! There seemed to be a lot of beautiful women on the Dou Qi continent! One day, he would go out and find two concubines! Hehe!" Xiao Yu was daydreaming!
Time passed quickly, and the ceremony began! The Second Elder who was standing on the stage was holding an account book and shouting one by one!
When the Coming of Age Ceremony on the stage was halfway through, it was finally Xiao Yan's turn.
Hearing the shouts on the stage, the VIP seats on the high platform immediately shifted their gazes that were mixed with curiosity and doubt. The main reason why they participated in the Xiao family's coming-of-age ceremony today was because they wanted to confirm whether this youth who had recently spread like wildfire in Wu Tan City was really like the rumors.
Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes when he heard the cry. The numerous gazes around him that were mixed with all sorts of expressions, like those of a monkey, caused him to helplessly shake his head in his heart.
Xiao Yan gently exhaled a breath of air. His small face maintained a calm expression like an old well. After which, he stepped onto the high platform step by step in front of the gazes of everyone present.
The host of the Coming of Age Ceremony was the second Elder, Xiao Ying. Although this second Elder had never given Xiao Yan a good look in the past, he had clearly restrained himself a lot after the test that day. At the very least, the unconcealed disdain from before no longer appeared on that old face.
Xiao Ying's gaze was somewhat complicated as he looked at the young man in front of him, who seemed to have turned over a new leaf. He sighed in his heart and his face trembled slightly. He took a few ingredients needed for the ceremony from the stage behind him and walked toward Xiao Yan.
Seeing the Second Elder walking over, Xiao Yan involuntarily felt a headache when he recalled the complicated ceremony earlier. He laughed bitterly and closed his eyes as if he had accepted his fate.
Xiao Yu thought,"Looks like Xiao Yan is going to be in the limelight again!" Hehe, wait for me to give you a three-star Dou Zhe, I'll scare you to death!”
On the tall wooden platform, a huge black stone tablet shone brightly. Golden words appeared on the surface of the stone tablet in a flamboyant manner.
"Dou Zhi Qi: 8 Duan!"
Silence, the entire place was silent!
After being stunned for a moment, everyone's eyes froze on the black stone tablet that was shining with golden light.
The clear sound of teacups falling to the ground continuously rang out from the VIP seats. At this moment, the representatives from the various factions in Wu Tan City were all dumbfounded, their faces filled with disbelief.
The purpose of their visit this time was to confirm if Xiao Yan had really jumped four Duan Qi in a year like the rumors said. Also, whether that mysterious young man Xiao Yu had managed to answer the question of a two-star Dou Zhe!
However, the situation that was unfolding in the arena not only allowed them to confirm the authenticity of the rumors, but it also greatly exceeded their expectations.
Four Duan Qi in a year? Now, it seemed to have reached 5 Duan Qi in a year…This kind of cultivation speed could only be described with one word: Terrifying!
"The Xiao clan has struck gold this time…" Everyone in the VIP seats could not help but inhale a breath of cold air as they muttered in their hearts. A clan member who had jumped five Duan Qi in a year, one could imagine what kind of bright future he would have.
According to this training speed, perhaps…perhaps a Dou Huang class super expert would appear in the Xiao clan after a few decades.”Everyone in the VIP seats looked at each other, and a somewhat shocking thought flashed through their hearts at the same time.
Dou Huang. As long as any small clan in the Jia Ma Empire produced a Dou Huang, the status of this clan would immediately rise regardless of its limitations. At that time, even the three large clans of the Jia Ma Empire would not dare to take a suppressing stance. After all, there were only two or three Dou Huangs within this vast empire. Moreover, each of them possessed the ability to overturn the heavens and overturn the seas, and to fight against ten thousand by themselves. No rational empire would easily choose to offend a Dou Huang!
Over three hundred years ago, the only Dou Huang in the Jia Ma Empire at that time had his family members killed in the midst of a war that was waged by a neighboring country. In his fury, he single-handedly slaughtered an elite ten thousand man cavalry army of the other party. That massacre caused blood to flow like a river. His fierce name caused the entire country to be shocked.
From now on, there were very few people in the empires on the Dou Qi continent who would choose to offend a Dou Huang! From this, one could see just how ferocious a Dou Huang class expert was on this continent.
Hence, everyone felt extremely envious of the Xiao clan after seeing the talent that Xiao Yan had displayed.
In the middle of the platform, Xiao Zhan's eyes were also stung by the golden words on the black stone tablet. After a long time, he slowly exhaled and looked at the black-robed youth in the arena with a gratified gaze. He chuckled and said,"The most correct thing you have done in this life is probably not to cause a barrier between Yan 'er and me, your father…"
As Xiao Yan's father, Xiao Zhan understood Xiao Yan's character very well. Even now, he could still clearly remember how cold and indifferent his son, who had just been born, had been to him when he was young. That icy-cold gaze was as if he was staring at a stranger and not his biological father.
Fortunately, the coldness from back then slowly melted under Xiao Zhan's sincere concern…
Recalling the cold war between him and the little guy when he was young, Xiao Zhan smiled gently.
"This Xiao Yan is in the limelight every day. I'm so angry!" Xiao Yu said helplessly. I'll wait for a four star Dou Zhe! Humph!" However, when Xiao Yu looked over and saw Xiao Yu's shocked expression, he thought to himself,"Alright then!"
After a few more nameless people, it was finally Xiao Yu's turn! When the audience saw Xiao Yu go on stage, they all stared at him! He wanted to see if he was the rumored two star Dou Zhe at such a young age!
Xiao Yu walked onto the stage, took out a hand, and pressed it on the ice-cold black stone tablet! He was controlling the battle energy that he was injecting!
A strong light burst out, and four large golden words could be seen on the black stone tablet!
"Four star Dou Zhe!"
Upon seeing this scene, the clear sound of teacups falling to the ground repeatedly rang out from the VIP seats. At this moment, the representatives from the various factions in Wu Tan City were all stunned, their faces filled with disbelief. Having experienced it twice in a day, their hearts were in turmoil! He was thinking about how to get into a relationship with the Xiao family!
Xiao Zhan, the two elders beside him, and the second elder beside the stone tablet were all in disbelief! Because this was too unbelievable. Xiao Yu had risen two stars in a month! This kind of speed was even more terrifying than Xiao Yan's!
Xiao Yu walked down the stage and returned to the big tree from before. However, he realized that many gazes were shooting at him when he walked here. Xiao Yu was so frightened that he immediately lowered his head!
Time slowly passed. From morning to evening, the ritual's test was over! Xiao Yu did not stay any longer and quickly returned to his home!
