"Second elder, is the test over?"

  Xiao Yan gazed at the golden characters on the stone monument, slowly withdrew his palm, glanced at the Second Elder beside him who was somewhat dazed, and asked in a light tone.

  "Oh, uh, it's over..." The Second Elder was startled awake by Xiao Yan's voice and nodded somewhat flusteredly. Judging from his drifting and scattered gaze, he was clearly still in a state of shock.

  "Alas, a five-stage Dou Zhan in just one year? This cultivation speed... is terrifying." After a long while, he slowly regained his composure and looked at the young man before him with complex eyes. The doubt in his old eyes finally disappeared completely in the face of reality.

  On the black stone monument, the golden light gradually dissipated, and after a moment, it returned to its deep, icy black color.

  The golden light dissipated, and the entire scene was still quiet, apparently, everyone was still immersed in the shock of the previous moment.

  "Cough..." On the high platform, the cough of the two elders finally drew back the attention of the entire audience.

  "The ritual re-measurement is complete. According to the usual rules, Xiao Yan will undergo a challenge. The challenger's authority is below that of a Dou Zhe. Who wants to come?" The Second Elder's gaze swept across the young generation of the Xiao family and he said in a low voice.

  If the trial of the adult ceremony is to test the strength of Dou Qi, then this challenge is to test the tribe's mastery and grasp of Dou Technique. After all, once a life-and-death battle begins, Dou Technique is also an important reason for measuring victory or defeat. The importance attached by each family to this aspect is not inferior to that of cultivating Dou Qi.

  Listening to the Second Elder's roar, the scene below was slightly chaotic. The young generation of the Xiao family were all looking at each other in dismay, timidly not daring to speak out loud. The golden light that had just burst forth from the black stone monument, the eight segments of Douzhan aura, had already shattered the last vestiges of hope in their hearts.

  They no longer have the qualifications to show off their military power in front of Xiao Yan.

  Xiao Yan stood quietly in the center of the arena, his eyes casually sweeping over the peers below him, and every time his gaze fell on someone, those youngsters would hastily take a step back.

  "Hmph, a bunch of cowards!" Looking at the retreating tribesmen around him, Xiao Ning disdainfully cursed and raised his head to stare provocatively at the black-shirted youth in the arena. Just as he was about to step up, a jade-like hand pulled him back.

  Furrowing her brow, Xiao Ning looked at her sister with displeasure: "What?"

  "He's also a master of Ba Duan Jin now, you might not be able to beat him even if you go up." Xiao Yu sighed.

  Xiao Ning's mouth twitched slightly, and he hesitated for a moment. His eyes involuntarily glanced at Xun Er not far away, only to see the girl gazing warmly at Xiao Yan in the arena, with a gentle and moving expression that she had never shown him before...

  His teeth clenched, Xiao Ning shook off Xiao Yu's hand, and on his slightly childish face, coldness and jealousy filled: "I've been in the Eight Fists of Fury for over a year already, can't I even handle a rookie who just advanced?"

  Looking at Xiao Ning's stubborn and jealous face, Xiao Yu also felt a bit helpless. After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly took out a round green pill, stroked it reluctantly for a while, then quickly stuffed it into Xiao Ning's hand and said in a low voice: "This is a second-grade elixir 'Qi Boosting Pill', which can give you the strength of a fighter for a short time. However, after taking it, you'll have to spend the next month in bed. If it's not absolutely necessary, it's best not to use it."

  Upon hearing this, Xiao Ning was overjoyed and grasped it in his hand, exclaiming: "With this thing, I'll definitely be able to give that guy a good scolding!"

  Xiao Yu furrowed her eyebrows and lightly scolded, "Don't get out of hand, just give him a hard time, if you accidentally turn him into a serious injury, even Grandfather can't protect you. The current him is no longer the useless person he used to be."

  "Uh-huh, got it..." With a nonchalant nod, Xiao Ning smiled and turned her gaze to Xun Er, thinking smugly: "I'll let you know, that guy is just a pretty face after all."

  With a cold laugh, Xiao Ning broke free from Xiao Yu's grasp, climbed up the high platform and shouted loudly: "I'm coming!"

  As soon as someone responded, the eyes of the whole audience suddenly gathered on Xiao Ning, this kind of attention from all sides made his triumphant smile even more pronounced.

  Looking at the approaching Xiao Ning, Second Elder furrowed his brow and cast his gaze towards the VIP seat. Sure enough, he saw the somewhat unpleasant expression on the Great Elder's face. He couldn't help but let out a soft sigh, mentally scolding: "You ungrateful fool! Do you still think the current Xiao Yan is the same good-for-nothing as before?"

  Xiao Ning didn't notice the ugly expression on Er Lao's face, and walked over with big strides, smiling complacently: "Xiao Yan, let me try out your combat strength to see just how strong it is."

  With a lazy raise of his eyes, he gazed at Xiao Ning in front of him, but Xiao Yan didn't even bother to respond.

  "Xiao Ning, challenging Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan, can you accept?" Seeing that Xiao Ning had already arrived at the center of the arena,

  The two elders could only helplessly say in loud voices.

  "You won't refuse, will you? Xun'er is watching, you won't disappoint her...". With a confident heart swelling in his chest, Xiao Ning touched the dan medicine in his sleeve and coldly smiled at the elegant girl below who was as calm as a green lotus.

  "Idiot..." The two words slipped out of Xiao Yan's mouth as he rubbed his nose, and under the gaze of everyone present, he slightly nodded and said softly: "Accepted."

  Seeing Xiao Yan nodding, the Second Elder sighed again in exasperation, waved his hand and as he retreated, said in a low voice that only two people could hear: "Remember, just a warning!"

  Xiao Ning pouted.

  Xiao Yan also shrugged indifferently.

  As the Second Elder retreated, the atmosphere on the high platform suddenly became tense!

  (In the evening, there was another update. Suddenly, I found myself becoming a 1K party. It's really shameful. In the future, there will definitely not be more than a thousand chapters. Also, please vote for me ^_^.)
