Xiao Jian, however, was uninterested in sparring with Level 6 Fighters.
He pressed his foot lightly against the ground.
Boom!
A majestic aura erupted from Xiao Jian.....enough to make Level 6 Fighters shiver.
A chill radiated off him, cooling the hot-headed youths instantly.
He truly was a Fighter!
Feeling Xiao Jian's refined Fighting Qi, Xiao Zhan and the three elders could no longer restrain themselves.
They all flew forward.
"Step aside! Level 6 Fighters challenging a Fighter? Are you trying to get yourselves killed?"
The hot-tempered elders glared and scolded.
Xiao Zhan reached out and grabbed Xiao Jian's wrist, carefully examining it before nodding toward the three elders.
The eldest elder followed suit. After sensing Xiao Jian's pure ice-element Fighting Qi, he nodded at the other two.
The second and third elders wanted to test him as well, but Xiao Jian sighed: "It's just being a Fighter… why all the fuss?"
"You brat! Your terrifying talent is rare in the world! Not just in the Xiao family,
but in the entire Gamma Empire, few have advanced as fast as you!
We elders are just worried that you might rush your cultivation without solid foundations!"
Xiao Zhan scolded playfully, laughing.
"Alright, one per elder," he said.
Xiao Jian reluctantly extended both arms toward the second and third elders.
The two elders happily came forward. After confirming Xiao Jian's Fighting Qi was truly pure, they beamed, the wrinkles on their faces bunching together like blooming chrysanthemums.
"Xiao Yan, you're doing well too! Level 5 in less than a year...your talent even surpasses my past self.
You two brothers… make me so proud!"
Xiao Zhan laughed, draping an arm over Xiao Yan's shoulders with pride.
"Thank you, Father!"
Xiao Yan smiled in response.
"And Xun'er, as outstanding as ever!"
Xiao Zhan's gaze turned to the elegant young girl in blue beside them, nodding approvingly.
"Thank you, Uncle Xiao!"
Xun'er's eyes curved in a charming smile.
The three elders looked at Xiao Zhan's children.....Xiao Jian, Xiao Yan, and
Xun'er...and couldn't help feeling envious: Damn, why do all the benefits fall on Xiao Zhan?
Seeing the situation, the other youths wisely abandoned any thoughts of challenging the two brothers.
After all, even the stupidest person wouldn't provoke the clan leader and elders at this moment.
A month passed in the blink of an eye, and the coming-of-age ceremony arrived as scheduled.
During this month, Xiao Jian had not made any further breakthroughs.
After all, having just advanced to Fighter, the energy required to advance further was significantly greater than before.
And the higher the rank, the more energy was needed for each level.
Although Xiao Jian hadn't broken through in terms of realm, his combat skills had progressed.
He could now effortlessly wield the mid-level Profound Ice Mirror, a technique of the Profound Rank.
As for the Profound Ice Cyclone, he had also practiced it, though being a high-level Profound technique, it consumed a considerable amount of Fighting Qi.
For now, it remained his secret trump card.
The coming-of-age ceremony was a major event for any family.
For a family to remain strong through generations, it needed a constant supply of fresh blood.....the young generation.
Only a sufficiently large and talented young generation could ensure the family's continued competitiveness and vitality.
As one of the three major families of Utan City, the Xiao family's ceremony naturally attracted attention from various local powers.
Friendly factions were even invited to attend.
Among the guests was Yafei, whom Xiao Jian hadn't seen even once over the past month.
Today, she wore a luxurious red brocade robe.
Her curvaceous figure, barely concealed by the tailored garment, was strikingly alluring.
On the surface, Yafei represented the Mittel Auction House of Utan City, but behind her was the Mittel family… and herself.
Normally, Yafei would be surrounded by many influential figures from the city, but today was different.
She walked beside Xiao Jian on the massive wooden stage specially built for the ceremony.
Although only sixteen, Xiao Jian was already half a head taller than Yafei.
Both were famous beauties of Utan City, and standing together, they drew the gaze of almost everyone present.
"Good thing you're here. Otherwise, this would have been quite troublesome."
Sensing the surrounding eyes, Yafei exhaled and said lightly.
"Heh, Yafei-jie came for me. This small matter is naturally my duty!"
Xiao Jian smiled.
"You're always so confident, Xiao Jian."
Yafei shook her head, smiling.
"Of course. I've always been confident. Yafei-jie, you've known me long enough to know that."
Xiao Jian's tone was sincere.
"Still, it seems you haven't trained much this past month, yet you're still a Two-Star Fighter!"
Yafei's red lips curved teasingly as she playfully mocked him.
"Alright, I did slack a little, but mainly because I was distracted thinking that Yafei-jie would attend my ceremony."
Xiao Jian shrugged, showing a hint of helplessness.
Yafei lightly pushed him and said, laughing, "So… it's my fault then?"
"Yes!"
Seeing Xiao Jian answer so seriously, Yafei couldn't help laughing. "
All your training this past month went into your courage and your mouth, huh?"
"Exactly! Yafei-jie, your vision is sharp, just as expected from the Mittel family!"
Xiao Jian grinned.
"Hmph, I thought you were different from those other young masters… now I see, you're even slicker than them!"
Yafei hummed playfully, pouting as she scolded.
Yet her eyes were full of amusement, clearly not offended by his words.
"A man can't really be that different. I just… put you in my heart as more important, that's all."
Xiao Jian smiled lightly.
Yafei paused, then her smile grew even brighter.
In the shade of a distant tree, Xiao Yan sat with Xun'er, enjoying the coolness.
They naturally noticed Xiao Jian and Yafei laughing together.
