Xiao Yan stood coldly on the high platform, unmoved by the admiration of the crowd. He had grown accustomed to this feeling. He knew that only strength was the best response. Now, he stood at a new height and no longer needed to justify his strength.
The Second Elder, who was presiding over the ceremony, finally regained his composure. He cleared his throat and announced, "Xiao Yan, the retest of the ceremony has been passed. You have officially come of age and gained recognition from The Xiao Family."
Xiao Yan nodded slightly to indicate that he understood.
After the retesting ceremony, Xiao Yan walked down from the platform and returned to Gu Yunzhi's side. Gu Yunzhi smiled and said to him, "Congratulations, Xiao Yan, you have proven with your strength that your talent has returned."
Xiao Yan also smiled and replied, "Thank you, Yun Zhi."
At this moment, Xiao Zhan walked over, patted Xiao Yan's shoulder with satisfaction, and said, "Well done, Yan, I am proud of you."
Xiao Yan feels warm, knowing that his efforts and perseverance have gained recognition from his family.
"The Second Elder, is the test over?" Xiao Yan looked at the golden characters on the stele, slowly withdrew his hand, and then glanced slightly at the somewhat dazed The Second Elder, asking lightly.
"Oh, um, it's over..." Startled by Xiao Yan's voice, The Second Elder nodded somewhat flustered. From his drifting and scattered gaze, it was obvious that he was still in shock.
"Ah, reaching the Five Qi Stages in one year? This kind of cultivation speed... is too terrifying." After a while, as he gradually regained consciousness, The Second Elder looked at the young man in front of him with a complex expression, and his doubts disappeared in the face of reality.
On the black stone stele, the golden light gradually dissipated, and after a moment, it returned to its original deep and icy black color.
After the golden light disappeared, the entire venue remained silent. Clearly, everyone was still deeply affected by the shock just now.
"Cough..." On the high platform, the cough of the Second Elder finally attracted the attention of the whole audience.
"Rite of passage retesting has ended. As per tradition, Xiao Yan will undergo a challenge. Who is willing to challenge him? The right to challenge belongs to fighter." The Second Elder scanned the younger generation of The Xiao Family and announced softly.
If the test of Rite of passage is to measure the strength of Qi of Fight, then this challenge is to measure the family members' training and mastery in combat skills. After all, in a real life-and-death battle, combat skills are also one of the key factors determining victory or defeat. Each family attaches great importance to this aspect.
Upon hearing the announcement of The Second Elder, there was some chaos in the audience. The younger generation of the Xiao Family looked at each other in fear, not daring to speak. The dazzling eight segments of Qi of Fight on the black stone stele had shattered their illusions. At this moment, they no longer had the confidence to mock or provoke Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan stood quietly in the center of the venue, casually scanning his peers. Whenever his gaze fell on someone, the young men would quickly take a step back.
He spoke up, saying, "Didn't you all treat me like a soft persimmon not long ago? What's happened now? Each of you is shrinking like a turtle." Xiao Yan's words were like a stone thrown into a lake, causing ripples, and the younger generation below showed expressions of embarrassment and displeasure.
They are well aware that the current Xiao Yan is no longer someone they can bully at will, but they feel embarrassed when Xiao Yan mentions past provocations.
Xiao Ning sneered at the retreating tribespeople, saying disdainfully, "What a bunch of cowards!" She lifted her head and provocatively stared at the Black Shirt Youth in the center of the scene. Just as she was about to step onto the stage, a jade hand suddenly grabbed her.
Xiao Ning furrowed her brow and looked displeasedly at her sister, asking, "What's the matter?"
Xiao Yu sighed deeply and said, "He has already reached the eighth stage of Qi of Fight now. Even if you go up, you may not be able to beat him."
She continued, "And right now, you should be taking the opportunity to care for Xun'er. At this time, Xun'er's eyes have been fixed on Xiao Yan with a rather desolate expression. You don't need to go up and be cannon fodder."
Xiao Ning's face looked a bit unnatural. He understood his sister's meaning, but still said stubbornly, "It's not that I'm afraid of him. I just think he's too arrogant now and needs to be taught a lesson."
Xiao Yu shook her head and gently patted Xiao Ning's shoulder, signaling him not to take the risk.
At this moment, Xiao Yan is no longer the waste he used to be. There's no need to provoke him, especially in front of everyone.
In the center of the venue, Xiao Yan's words stirred some awkwardness and displeasure, but everyone knew that he was no longer the same Xiao Yan who was once ridiculed. His strength and confidence had reached a shocking level, and no one dared to underestimate him anymore.
Just as the atmosphere below was becoming somewhat awkward, a tall young man suddenly walked out. He had a burly figure, was dressed in a deep red robe, and had sharp, piercing eyes.
Name is Xiao Jun, he stood opposite Xiao Yan, sneering: "Xiao Yan, although your strength is formidable, I still don't accept it. I'm willing to challenge you!"
Xiao Jun does not accept Xiao Yan, and his appearance instantly tense the atmosphere. The people present all know that this young man's strength is also very strong, already reaching the ninth stage of Qi of Fight, making him a formidable opponent for Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan With a slight smile, he did not reject the challenge. Instead, he was full of interest in this challenge. He nodded and said, "Alright, Xiao Xun, since you don't accept it, then let's do it."
So, the two of them stood in the center of the field, preparing for an exciting and thrilling battle.
The battle has begun, and the gazes of Xiao Yan and Xiao Jun met in the air, instantly creating a strong atmosphere. They remained motionless, as if waiting for each other to make a move.
Suddenly, Xiao Jun shouted loudly, and a powerful energy burst forth from him, forming a blood-red fist shadow that headed straight for Xiao Yan. This was his signature skill, the "Blood Shadow Fist," with astonishing power.
Xiao Yan dare not be careless. He quickly dodged and threw a punch, turning it into a golden palm shadow that collided with the opponent's fist shadow, stirring up a storm.
Every move and technique of the two were filled with strength and skill. They shuttled through the arena, competing with each other, and every collision brought about a strong vibration.
"You are not yet qualified to fight me!" Xiao Xun sneered, throwing a powerful punch at Xiao Yan with astonishing speed.
Xiao Yan remained calm, dodging his opponent's attack with agile movements. Then, he struck back with a palm, shining with golden light, like a golden dragon charging towards his opponent.
"Watch my move!" Xiao Jun roared, his fist shimmering with a blood-red light as he unleashed the devastating power of "Bloodline Fury."
Xiao Yan's expression changed as he knew this move was not to be underestimated. He exerted all his strength to resist, and the golden palm shadows clashed fiercely with the opponent's fist, creating a powerful storm on the battlefield.
The battle raged on, with every move sparking with intensity. Both fighters were evenly matched, making it difficult to determine a clear victor. Their conversation continued to intertwine.
Xiao Yan calmly stated, "Your strength is impressive, but not yet powerful enough."
The opponent sneered, "Not strong enough? That's just arrogance. Watch this move of mine!"
With a furious roar, a powerful martial art erupted, bringing irresistible pressure. Xiao Yan felt the opponent's immense strength and his expression changed slightly as he exerted all his strength to resist.
The battle grew more intense, with the two fighters' moves becoming increasingly exquisite, each collision bringing a strong sense of shock.
The atmosphere in the arena became extremely tense, with the onlooking spectators holding their breath, their eyes fixed on this heart-stopping battle.
Xiao Yan suddenly shouted loudly, and his body burst into dazzling golden light. His fist turned into a golden meteor, heading straight for his opponent.
Feeling the immense pressure from Xiao Yan, his opponent dared not take it lightly and fought back with all his might. The clash of their fists reached its peak, creating a storm in the arena.
"You are not yet qualified to fight me!" Xiao Yan said coldly, as his body erupted with even greater power, sending his opponent flying.
Xiao Jun fell to the ground in a sorry state, unable to stand up again. Xiao Yan stood in place, his momentum like a mountain, his strength already surpassing his opponent.
The battle has ended, and the atmosphere on the field instantly becomes as silent as death. Countless eyes are focused on Xiao Yan, who has proven his strength and won the respect and admiration of his people.
Xiao Yan calmly says, "Don't underestimate me anymore."
The thrilling and intense battle has ended, and Xiao Yan's strength and confidence have been further enhanced. He has become the idol that the Xiao family looks up to.
