"Everyone! The test has concluded!"
Xiao Zhan had never felt so refreshed as he did today. He slowly rose, flicked his sleeve, and personally presided over the upcoming ceremony.
"Next, Family disciples whose Dou Zhi Qi test results were unsatisfactory may challenge those who passed the test!"
As soon as Xiao Zhan finished speaking, the scene immediately erupted into chatter and excitement again.
"Clan Chief, may I also randomly select someone to challenge?"
However, at that moment, a female voice suddenly rang out across the training grounds.
All the other noisy sounds instantly quieted down.
Xiao Yi and the others looked over upon hearing the voice, seeing a person dressed in red athletic wear slowly walk out from the crowd.
The moment Xiao Yi and Xiao Yan saw the woman, they couldn't help but exchange a look.
"Why is Xiao Yu back!"
"Didn't she go to Jia Nan Academy..."
Xiao Yi's mouth curled up slightly as he looked at Xiao Yu, who stood out remarkably among the crowd.
Xiao Yi vaguely remembered that even when Xiao Yu was young, her beautiful legs were particularly striking.
Unexpectedly, now that she had matured, she was even more dazzling.
Xiao Zhan, on the high platform, was slightly stunned when he heard what Xiao Yu said.
"Yu'er, today is a matter among the younger generation of the Family. What are you doing here?"
Xiao Yu, however, smiled slightly and respectfully cupped her hands toward Xiao Zhan on the high platform, saying:
"Clan Chief, I am also a junior!"
Xiao Zhan frowned slightly: "You are a junior, that's correct, but you have long passed the age of the Coming-of-Age Ceremony..."
"For today, please step down for now..."
At this moment, the Grand Elder behind Xiao Zhan suddenly spoke:
"Clan Chief, Yu'er has just returned from the Jia Nan Academy after a long journey. Since she has this rare interest today, just let her play for a bit..."
"Consider it guidance for the Family disciples..."
As soon as Xiao Zhan heard this, he knew exactly what that old Grand Elder was plotting.
Xiao Yu is Xiao Ning's biological older sister. Since Xiao Ning had a leg crippled by Xiao Yi previously, Xiao Yu stepping out in this kind of venue now...
It was obvious that the opponent she would choose would definitely be Xiao Yi.
However, without waiting for Xiao Zhan's agreement, Xiao Yu on the training grounds turned sideways, looked in Xiao Yi's direction, and said:
"Xiao Yi, do you dare to accept my challenge today!?"
Xiao Yi was not surprised at all by Xiao Yu's sudden challenge.
After all, since her younger brother was beaten, it was natural for his own sister to come out and seek revenge.
Otherwise, the faction led by the Grand Elder would never be able to swallow this humiliation.
Seeing Xiao Yu's aggressive Aura, Xun'er instinctively tried to stop Xiao Yi: "Brother Xiao Yi, ignore her! Her challenge like this is against the rules..."
Xiao Yi merely smiled slightly: "Since she has called me out by name, how can I hide..."
"Xun'er, don't panic. I won't lose..."
Xiao Yan also nodded, as he was very clear about Xiao Yi's strength.
Although Xiao Yu had gone to Jia Nan Academy to study for several years, Xiao Yan still believed that she could not be Xiao Yi's opponent.
Seeing this, Xun'er could only nod.
Xiao Yi slowly took a step forward: "Cousin Xiao Yu, it seems your return home this time was specifically for me?"
"After not seeing you for a few years, Cousin Xiao Yu has become even more graceful and beautiful!"
Xiao Yu's expression was calm, and she said flatly: "Brat, stop with the verbal tricks!"
"Are you accepting this challenge today or not!"
Xiao Yi nodded: "Accepting it, definitely accepting it!"
"Then stop talking nonsense and get on the stage!"
Hearing Xiao Yi's definite reply, Xiao Yu lightly leaped and landed on the designated duel platform.
Seeing this, Xiao Yi moved extremely fast and followed her onto the stage.
"Xiao Yi, I didn't expect you to actually reach Three-Star Dou Zhe in today's test. Then let me see if your Three-Star Dou Zhe is real or fake!"
After Xiao Yu spoke, the steel sword forged from fine iron in her hand instantly left its sheath.
The three golden stars on the chest of her clothes also indicated that Xiao Yu was currently a Three-Star Dou Zhe.
Xiao Yi merely smiled slightly and said: "Cousin Xiao Yu, since we are both Three-Star Dou Zhe, why are you so confident that you can defeat me?"
Xiao Yu also smiled contemptuously: "Based on the days I spent cultivating diligently at Jia Nan Academy!"
"Today, I will not only defeat you, but I will also avenge Xiao Ning's broken leg!"
As soon as Xiao Yu finished speaking, the Aura around her instantly surged.
Streams of Dou Zhi Qi poured out from within her body.
"We are all Family, Cousin Xiao Yu, why say such things? Furthermore, I only broke one of Xiao Ning's legs; not completely crippling him was already giving you a lot of Face..."
However, just as Xiao Yi's voice faded, Xiao Yu decided not to waste any more words.
Xiao Yu tapped her toe, her figure soaring like a startled swan, and she thrust the fine iron steel sword toward Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi, however, appeared extremely calm. He simply shifted his body slightly and dodged Xiao Yu's attack.
Yet, at this moment, streams of Dou Zhi Qi had already gathered in Xiao Yu's palm.
It was clearly that Yellow Rank High-Grade Dou Technique, Heart Shattering Palm!
The next second, as Xiao Yu activated the Heart Shattering Palm, her palm technique appeared extremely fierce.
Streaks of powerful Qi were swung toward Xiao Yi.
Seeing Xiao Yu use a Dou Technique, Xiao Yi's Aura finally erupted, and red Dou Zhi Qi coiled around his body.
Instantly, Xiao Yi's speed also increased significantly.
Xiao Yi's footwork shifted continuously, and his body moved half a foot sideways like a ghost, easily dodging Xiao Yu's Heart Shattering Palm.
"Cousin Xiao Yu, your speed is a bit too slow..."
"Did you only learn this much at Jia Nan Academy?"
Xiao Yi even looked at Xiao Yu, smiled slightly, and teased her aloud.
Xiao Yu, however, did not care about this in the slightest, and the corner of her mouth curved up slightly.
"Silly boy, it seems your strength has reached the Dou Practitioner level these past few years, but your mind hasn't matured yet!"
Xiao Yu let out a cold snort.
The fine iron steel sword in her hand suddenly changed direction, and with a flash of her figure, she fiercely swung it toward Xiao Yi's thigh.
Judging by this stance, Xiao Yu was determined to avenge Xiao Ning's broken leg today!
However, Xiao Yi was unhurried, and a cold light flashed.
The dragon abyss formation breaking spear suddenly appeared in Xiao Yi's hand.
"Bang!"
Xiao Yu's fine iron steel sword violently struck the shaft of the dragon abyss formation breaking spear in Xiao Yi's hand.
A loud noise echoed.
How could that steel sword forged from fine iron compare with the dragon abyss formation breaking spear forged from extraterrestrial Profound Iron in Xiao Yi's hand.
In the instant of the collision, the steel sword in Xiao Yu's hand instantly snapped.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yu couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then visibly flushed red.
"Xiao Yi!"
"Then let me show you what I truly learned at Jia Nan Academy!"
"Mysterious Tier Low-Grade Combat Skill, Blood Python Ice Soul Palm!"
Seeing Xiao Yu activate the Dou Zhi Qi within her body again, the next second, a phantom image of a python slowly emerged behind her.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Zhan abruptly stood up: "Nonsense! In a Family martial arts competition, how can such a high-grade Dou Technique be used!"
The Grand Elder, however, stood up and said: "Clan Chief, don't worry, Yu'er knows her limits..."
On the platform, Xiao Yi saw the python phantom behind Xiao Yu and softly muttered: "Mysterious Tier Low-Grade... Interesting..."
The next second, Dou Zhi Qi circulated around Xiao Yi's body, and his red Dou Zhi Qi began to appear on the long spear in his hand.
"Dragon Abyss Sky-breaking Art, First Art, Dragon Abyss First Awakening Art!"
Xiao Yi also activated his Dou Technique simultaneously. An Di-rank Dou Technique was extraordinary.
At this moment, Xiao Yi's entire body was enveloped in a red light.
Seeing this scene, the Grand Elder, who had just been calm, showed a trace of panic on his Face: "Clan Chief, this is a Family competition, Xiao Yi is taking this seriously, isn't he!"
The Grand Elder was neither stupid nor blind, because judging solely from the Aura at this moment, it was clear that Xiao Yi's Dou Technique was far more powerful!
Therefore, he was afraid that Xiao Yi would hurt his precious granddaughter Xiao Yu.
Xiao Zhan, however, merely smiled slightly: "Grand Elder, rest assured, Yier knows his limits..."
