Klein leaped onto the stage, calmly watching Gu Yao, looking relaxed and unconcerned about the battle.
A hint of anger rose in Gu Yao's heart, but he quickly concealed it. He said, "At this time, you are still hiding your true face. I really doubt the identity of your Xiao Clan. Aren't you perhaps imposters?"
"We have brought documents from the Xiao Clan, stamped with the Xiao Clan's ancient jade seal. If you still doubt us, you can send someone with us to seek verification from that person in the Heavenly Tomb." Klein had no intention of removing his disguise.
After the Tuoshe ancient emperor jade was shattered, the shape of each fragment was different, which also served as a form of proof among the Ancient Eight Clans.
The engraving on the documents brought by Xiao Yu and the others was stamped by Xiao Zhan before he handed the ancient jade to the Soul Clan.
"Hmph, if that's the case, then let me tear off the mist from your face." A cold aura emanated from Gu Yao's body.
Klein smiled, "Over the past few years, I've diligently practiced two ultimate techniques. This is a good chance to try them on you."
Gu Yao's long, black and white hair suddenly flew up, and his figure disappeared like Gui Mei.
A slender palm reached out from the space beside Klein, heading straight for his temple. Gu Yao was full of killing intent, showing no intention of holding back.
Xiao Yan and Xun'er's gazes were fixed on the stage. Both of them were curious about this mysterious guest from the Xiao Clan and wanted to know his strength.
Klein subtly stepped back, dodging Gu Yao's palm. He slightly distorted his body, rotated his palm, and a sudden suction force erupted from his palm.
"Suction Palm!"
The terrifying suction made it difficult for Gu Yao to break free. He was uncontrollably pulled out of the void and flew forward rapidly.
"Blazing Palm!"
The suction suddenly turned into repulsion. The two forces combined, acting entirely on Gu Yao's body. He felt as if he was caught between two great mountains, one in front and one behind.
Gu Yao spewed a mouthful of fresh blood, flying backward. After rolling twice on the ground, he finally stopped.
He struggled to get up, looking at the opponent with shock.
"Is that all?" Klein chuckled lightly. Anyone could hear the disdain in his chuckle.
Xiao Yan felt that this scene looked familiar. After a moment of thought, he realized, wasn't this the same technique he used to defeat Xiao Ning at the Xiao Family's coming-of-age ceremony?
Xun'er giggled, glanced at Xiao Yan, and then quickly became serious: "Brother Xiao Yan, this mysterious person is not simple, and he still seems to be holding back a lot of strength."
"Mm, he is no longer a Dou Venerate." Xiao Yan nodded. His Heavenly Realm soul allowed him to clearly judge the strength of that Black-Robed Figure on the stage.
A sigh echoed from the sky, reverberating across the plaza:
"Indeed, heroes emerge from the young! At such a young age, he already possesses Half-Saint strength. The rise of the Xiao Clan is just around the corner!"
Half-Saint?
The affirmation from the Gu Clan's Dou Saint caused a stir of exclamations.
Mang Tian Ruler almost pulled off his own beard:
"Are you kidding me...? Are the younger generation really this strong now?"
Hun Xiao muttered, "This guy isn't one of the four we saw last time, is he? Is the Xiao Clan really that outrageous?"
"Half-Saint..." Gu Qingyang's expression was exceptionally solemn, "If I encounter this person in the Heavenly Tomb, I must be extra careful."
Klein returned to his seat and sat down, looking calm, as if he had only done a trivial matter.
After a slight moment of surprise, the master of ceremonies for the coming-of-age ceremony drew everyone's attention back, and the ritual continued.
When it was Xun'er's turn, her powerful bloodline energy exceeded the threshold. The astrolabe used for testing shattered, and a golden pillar of light shot straight into the sky, with a powerful pressure sweeping in all directions.
Even those who were not from the Gu Clan felt their Dou Qi circulation halt and a tremor deep within their souls.
"Divine Grade Bloodline!"
Hun Xiao subconsciously looked at Hun Yu beside her, her mouth agape: "How is there another Divine Grade Bloodline?"
"Is that girl named Xun'er?" Hun Yu's eyes showed an interested expression, "If I killed her, the Gu Clan would probably go crazy, right?"
Hun Xiao shivered: "Don't even think about it! We are still on the Gu Clan's territory. If you want to go crazy, do it when you're alone; don't drag me into it."
"Who would know if I killed her in the Heavenly Tomb?"
"Tch... Anyway, don't think about it, I'm afraid of death." Hun Xiao said with great confidence, "I am the Young Clan Leader, listen to me!"
Hun Yu's face wore a gentle smile, but a hint of coldness was revealed in his eyes.
Hun Xiao sighed. The team was hard to lead! If she wasn't a Young Clan Leader who fought her way up, she would have no prestige!
It's all Xiao Yan's fault for snatching the Fallen Heart Flame, otherwise I should be able to suppress Hun Yu and Hun Feng now!
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, she would have wanted to draw her sword and slash at Xiao Yan directly!
"Wow, it's a Divine Grade Bloodline, truly worthy of Cousin Xun'er!" Xiao Ning exclaimed.
"By the way, what is this Divine Grade Bloodline?" Xiao Ning asked with a hint of confusion.
Xiao Mei responded with a captivating voice: "Haven't you heard? The concentration of bloodline energy is an important standard for the Ancient Eight Clans to judge a person's potential... The higher the bloodline concentration, the greater the potential."
"We are also considered one of the Ancient Eight Clans, right? Why don't we have this?" Xiao Ning scratched his head, very perplexed.
"Because the Xiao Clan's bloodline energy was severed long ago," Xiao Yu said faintly.
"No wonder my talent is so poor!" Xiao Ning showed a look of sudden realization.
Xiao Mei turned her head, looking at the distant void: "It seems this Divine Grade Bloodline is really important. Even the old fellows in the Gu Clan are looking over."
In the void, Black Nirvana King softly hummed, looking at Xiao Mei:
"Is it a misconception? Why do I feel that the people from the Xiao Clan have detected our location?"
Xun'er stepped down from the ceremonial platform and returned to Xiao Yan's side. The coming-of-age ceremony proceeded in an orderly manner, but the subsequent participants were unremarkable. Only Hun Yu continuously monitored the progress, silently evaluating the overall condition of the Gu Clan's bloodline in his mind. That night, in the Gu Clan's grand hall, lights blazed brightly, and around the spacious conference table sat several aged figures.
"The Ling Clan, Shi Clan, and Yao Clan have not sent anyone. Although we won't get the Xiao Clan's quota today, according to the rules, the quotas of the clans that didn't come belong to us, so we can arrange for eight people to enter," an Elder said in a light tone.
"Eight... Haha, it seems we don't have to be too conflicted this time. All the good sprouts can be sent in."
"But are those two from the Xiao Clan really just given away like that?"
"What else can we do if we don't give them? That person in the Heavenly Tomb has already spoken... And Xiao Yan is also a Master Alchemist, and his teacher Yao Chen is the only Golden Pill Master on the entire Dou Qi Continent!"
After the Yao Ceremony, even the Gu Clan had to give Yao Chen some face.
The Elder who had been greedily thinking of snatching the Xiao Clan's quota earlier closed his mouth with a sneer.
"However, this time is too abnormal, isn't it? The Ling Clan, Shi Clan, Yao Clan... three clans didn't send anyone." Someone looked puzzled.
