After the selection of Dou Qi Gong Fa, the entire family seemed to have suddenly become much emptier. Those young clan members with Dou Qi below seven segments were gradually being transferred out of the family and assigned to various industries within the family for cultivation and learning. Meanwhile, the outstanding clan members who obtained the Gong Fa had also begun to focus on diligent practice in order to cultivate the Dou Qi Gong Fa in their hands at the fastest speed possible.

  In such peaceful days, two months' time has quietly slipped away like flowing water, making it hard for people to notice.

  The sky is ablaze with the scorching sun high in the air, and the fiery sunlight bakes the earth like a furnace, emitting wisps of heat that rise slowly from the ground, causing people's vision to be slightly distorted.

  The top of the mountain behind Xiao's house, in a dense small forest.

  Sunlight filters through the dense foliage, casting tiny spots on the ground covered with dry leaves, twinkling like stars.

  In the small forest, two figures suddenly intersected and moved, their palms colliding to create a **slight gust of wind, blowing away the nearby withered leaves in all directions.

  His arms crossed in front of him with a loud thud, blocking Xun Er's pale small hands that were gently pressing against him. Although the attack seemed gentle, when the two forces met, the soft and gentle force suddenly became full of aggression.

  The corner of his mouth twitched, and the powerful force on his arm caused Xiao Yan to retreat two steps. On his arm, a faintly purplish bruise had appeared at the spot where Xun Er's small hand had been pressed against it.

  Looking at the retreating Xiao Yan, Xun Er smiled slightly, her pale small hands moved slowly in front of her body, with a faint golden aura rising, and the tips of her slender fingers were attached to a faint flowing light.

  "Hiss, hiss, so strong..." Calming himself down, Xiao Yan's heart was filled with astonishment as he shook his head, looking up at Xun Er whose small mouth was curled into a faint smile, her eyes gleaming with intense fighting spirit.

  His foot stamped heavily on the ground, and his body rushed out suddenly, instantly mud flew everywhere.

  Looking at Xiao Yan's repeated attack, Xun Er's small mouth curled up, and the pale golden light on her small hand became even more intense.

  His foot heavily stepped on the muddy ground, a small pit was trampled out by one foot. Xiao Yan's rushing figure suddenly stopped about one meter away from Xun Er. Between extreme movement and extreme stillness, he perfectly transformed, without making anyone feel even half a bit of abruptness.

  Watching Xiao Yan's speed control being so ingenious, Xun Er's autumn water eyes couldn't help but reveal a hint of admiration.

  "Eight Extremes Collapse!"

  The running figure suddenly froze, Xiao Yan's right foot touched the ground, his body rapidly rotated and added force, his left leg drew a powerful arc in mid-air, then with a faintly piercing whistling sound, fiercely lashed towards Xun Er.

  Xun'er gazed up at Xiao Yan's fierce attack, her delicate chin nodding slightly. Her small white hand drew a small semicircle in front of her body, and a faint golden light burst forth from her palm. Her hand curled into an eerie half-moon shape, and without hesitation, she struck Xiao Yan's left leg with a heavy blow.

  "Boom!"

  Legs and hands intersected, a muffled sound, exploded in mid-air, the withered leaves on the ground were swept away in an instant, flying all over the sky.

  One foot and one fist, after a brief stalemate in mid-air, both figures retreated hastily.

  His body was propelled upwards by the force transmitted from his legs, shooting up to a height of four or five meters. Xiao Yan's eyes widened in astonishment as he shook his head, and just as his body was about to fall back down, his right palm suddenly swung towards a giant tree beside him, unleashing a suction force that rapidly dissipated the downward momentum. His foot tapped against the trunk before he steadily landed back on the ground.

  He raised his head and looked at Xun Er who had also retreated several steps back, Xiao Yan smacked his lips and smiled: "What was that move you used just now?"

  "Mystic Step High-Level Fighting Technique: Swallow Counterattack... When cultivated to a higher level, it can reflect the opponent's attack back at them. I'm still in the initial stage, so I can only reflect about one layer of power." Xun'er said with a smile.

  He shook his head slightly, and suddenly a few words flashed into Xiao Yan's mind: "Borrowing strength to strike with force..."

  "Xiao Yan's skills just now were pretty good too, if it weren't for the fact that I'm a one-star warrior and my strength is higher than yours, I might not have been able to withstand that fierce energy." Xun Er said with a gentle smile, her beautiful eyes curved into a lovely crescent shape.

  Xiao Yan shrugged indifferently, lazily twisted his neck, and the high-intensity battle made his muscles sore, and his spirit was also somewhat fatigued.

  Wiping away the sweat on his face like flowing water, Xiao Yan cursed the weather silently and pulled off his clothes.

  He took off his clothes, revealing the boy's slightly dark and robust physique. Although not particularly sturdy, a small body hid an explosive power.

  Looking at Xiao Yan who was standing naked in front of her, Xun Er's small face turned slightly red.

  Clutching his shirt, Xiao Yan leaned against a bluestone at the foot of the mountain, looking up at Xun Er with a bitter smile: "Alas, two months have passed, and I'm still stuck on the eighth segment of Dou Zhan Qi..."

  Looking at the somewhat helpless Xiao Yan, Xun'er puckered her small mouth and smiled lightly, her lotus steps moved slightly as she sat down beside him on the bluestone, taking the sweaty clothes from his hand. She gently wiped away the sweat stains on his body, softly comforting him: "The eighth stage to the ninth stage is the bottleneck of the initial stage of Dou Qi, Brother Xiao Yan shouldn't be impatient, when the time comes, it will naturally happen..." As she spoke, Xun'er suddenly noticed that the other person's gaze was somewhat scorching hot. She raised her eyes and saw that Xiao Yan was staring blankly at her, his small face flushing red as he coquettishly said: "Brother Xiao Yan..."

  The soft and gentle voice of the young lady suddenly made the hot air in the small forest cooler by a few degrees.

  Due to the sweltering weather, Xun'er was wearing a short, light green dress today. Under her slender neck, a large patch of enticing snow-white skin was exposed. The young girl's slightly developed small breasts were also budding, releasing the allure of youth. Such a beautiful scene made it no wonder that Xiao Yan was somewhat distracted.

  Xiao Yan's face was also slightly red as he woke up to Xun Er, and he smiled awkwardly, leaning against the cool bluestone, slowly closing his eyes, letting Xun Er's small hands gently rub his body.

  With her small, red lips slightly pursed, Xun'er was helping Xiao Yan wipe his body when she sneakily glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, only to be shocked to discover that he had somehow fallen asleep.

  Helplessly shaking his head, Xun Er also knew that today's high-intensity battle had left him extremely exhausted. He slightly furrowed his small nose and put down the hem of his shirt. On his slender fingertips, a faint golden light was slowly pulsing...

  She stealthily glanced at Xiao Yan, who didn't react, and then her finger touched Xiao Yan's skin. A golden light emerged from the tip of her finger, slowly seeping into Xiao Yan's body...

  As the golden light poured in, Xun Er's forehead, which was originally clean and smooth, also began to show fine beads of sweat, her small mouth slightly pursed, but just as she was about to continue transmitting, her small face suddenly froze.

  Beside the bluestone, Xiao Yan, who was in a deep sleep, suddenly emitted an inexplicable suction force from within his body. The surrounding heaven and earth, threads of Dou Qi, began to rapidly surge in...

  "Uh... is it going to break through?"

  Xiao Yan stared blankly at the unconscious Xiang Ye, who was absorbing the aura of the Dou, and suddenly exclaimed in a low voice.
