Watching the green-clad girl slowly walk up, the training ground fell somewhat silent. Pair after pair of eager gazes fixed firmly on the girl without blinking.

On the high platform, all the Family High-Level Officials, including the Clan Head and the Three Elders, stopped their quiet conversation, their gazes converging on this place.

Under the attention of everyone present, the girl walked unhurriedly to the black stone stele. She extended her small hand, and her sleeve slid down, revealing a section of her snow-white, slender wrist.

Her jade hand lightly touched the cold black stone stele. Xun'er slowly closed her eyes as the Dou Qi Inside Body surged rapidly.

With the infusion of Dou Qi, the black stone stele remained silent for an instant before suddenly bursting with dazzling light...

Dou Zhe: One Star!

"Young Miss Xun'er, One Star Dou Practitioner!"

Somewhat shaken by the four gleaming golden words, the examiner could not help Shook His Head in amazement before shouting loudly.

Seeing this result, the faces of all the young men and women present, including the Family High-Level Officials, revealed expressions of astonishment. Clearly, they had been thoroughly shocked by the strength the Young Girl displayed.

Mo Yu remained calm, without the slightest hint of surprise on his face.

Xiao Mei'er was similarly shocked by Xun'er's result. When she looked at the composed Mo Yu beside her, she could not help wondering, How strong is this genius who has risen so quickly recently?

"Mo Yu!"

Just as she was thinking this, the examiner's voice rang out again.

Hearing his name, Mo Yu slightly raised his head and swept his gaze around the training ground. When he saw Xun'er's result, he noticed that everyone had also cast curious looks at this recently rising genius of the Xiao Family.

The Family High-Level Officials on the high platform had also recovered from their earlier shock and looked toward the Green-shirted Youth in the corner of the Square.

After all, Xun'er's origins were extraordinary, and the power behind her was remarkable. Although her outstanding result was shocking, it was not unexpected.

Mo Yu, on the other hand, was merely a son of the family. His rapid rise in just one year was almost unheard of in the several-hundred-year history of the Xiao Family.

Thus, people clearly paid even greater attention to Mo Yu.

Mo Yu twisted his neck and casually walked toward the black stone stele, as though he were not going for a test but merely taking a stroll by the roadside.

Under the complex gazes of envy and curiosity from the entire crowd, Mo Yu arrived beneath the black stone stele.

Looking at the Green-shirted Youth in front of him, the examiner's eyes also revealed curiosity. What outstanding result would this Youth, who had recently gained great fame within the family, achieve this time?

Under the tightly focused gazes of the crowd, Mo Yu remained calm. He extended his palm and lightly pressed it against the cold black stone stele.

At this moment, every gaze was fixed unblinkingly on the Stone Stele. They wanted to know whether Mo Yu would soar straight to the heavens or merely flash like a fleeting flower.

The Stone Stele remained slightly still. A moment later, brilliant light suddenly burst forth!

On the Stone Stele, the enormous golden characters made the hearts of everyone present stop beating in an instant.

"Dou Strength: Ninth Stage!"

The entire training ground fell silent.

Everyone present stared in shock at the five large characters on the Stone Stele. Their faces were filled with envy and jealousy.

This Outsider, who was not even a Xiao Family Member, had cultivated so quickly. It seemed that only Xun'er could suppress him!

"Ninth Stage!"

On the high platform, Xiao Zhan stared at the result on the Stone Stele, his face likewise filled with shock.

The Three Elders seated beside Xiao Zhan were equally incredulous. Ninth Stage Dou Strength was only one step away from the Dou Practitioner Realm!

The Great Elder's Cloudy Old Eyes flashed with a ray of light. He then slowly closed his eyes again, as though he cared about nothing in the world. However, the fingers gripping his cane were still trembling, clearly showing that his heart was far from calm.

The Second Elder and the Third Elder secretly Looked at Each Other, their eyes clearly expressing that such a Genius had to be won over.

Xiao Mei'er stared at the Youth standing beneath the black Stone Stele with admiration and respect in her eyes.

At the edge of the training ground, Xiao Ning, who had been watching intently, also stared blankly at the large characters on the Stone Stele. After a moment, he murmured with some relief, "Fortunately, I didn't provoke this Guy too badly. Otherwise..."

Xiao Yan also watched the scene with admiration and said, "Cousin Xun'er and Cousin Mo Yu really put a lot of pressure on people..."

Hearing This, the Young Girl beside him, who resembled a Green Lotus, giggled and said, "Cousin Mo Yu's strength has indeed improved very quickly. However, Brother Xiao Yan isn't bad either. In a moment, you'll make everyone gasp in shock."

As soon as the Young Girl finished speaking, the examiner's voice rang out.

"Xiao Yan!"

Hearing this name, the Youth slowly stood up. Encouraged by Xun'er, he strode toward the Stone Stele.

Walking down from the Stone Stele with an indifferent expression, Mo Yu looked at the black-clad Youth approaching and chuckled. "Cousin Xiao Yan, it's your turn to perform."

Knowing the plot, Mo Yu understood that the Youth before him would be the one who shocked everyone the most today.

Seeing how firmly Mo Yu believed in him, Xiao Yan's small face also revealed a resolute expression. He nodded heavily and said, "Don't worry, Cousin Mo Yu. I won't disappoint you."

Under the gaze of the entire crowd, Xiao Yan gave a perfect answer.

"Dou Strength, Seventh Stage!"

Although the strength displayed by Xun'er and Mo Yu had shocked Xiao Yan one after another, his result was not inferior in the slightest. In fact, it was even more dazzling.

After all, he had been a cripple for three years, and now that he had risen in a single day, he naturally attracted even more attention.

Everyone watched this scene with complicated expressions. Some were jealous, some envious, and some delighted.

On the high platform, with Xiao Yan's talent restored, a struggle between open and hidden forces was also taking place. However, as a qualified Clan Head, Xiao Zhan could still firmly hold most of the family's power.

Mo Yu calmly watched this scene. Xiao Yan's rise neither benefited nor harmed him for now, so he simply observed with an even mind.

"The test is complete. Next, we will proceed with the next event. Those who did not pass have the right to challenge one qualified Companion once. Remember, you only have one chance!"

Seeing Xiao Yan recover his result, Xiao Zhan, as his father, was overjoyed. After taking a Long While to recover his composure, he laughed loudly toward the training ground.

Looking once more toward Mo Yu and Xiao Yan, Xiao Zhan thought, Good things come in pairs. The Xiao Family's Twin Dragons... Could this be heaven's will to revive my Xiao Family?

Hearing This, the training ground became slightly disorderly. Those who had fallen just short of passing immediately turned their Eager Gaze toward the group of qualified Companions.

Facing those provocative gazes, the outstanding Clan Members disdainfully raised their heads. Sixth Stage and Seventh Stage were completely different levels. Unless something unexpected happened, it would be difficult for someone with Sixth Stage Dou Qi to defeat an opponent with Seventh Stage Dou Qi head-on.

Those with Sixth Stage Dou Qi understood this clearly as well, but this was already their final chance. Whether they succeeded or not, they had to fight with all their might.

For a time, the atmosphere in the training ground became strange. One eager gaze after another swept across the qualified Companions, and everyone secretly selected the opponent who would be easiest to deal with.

Mo Yu simply stood there quietly. Clearly, no fool would challenge this Ninth Stage expert.

Thus, the suddenly risen Xiao Yan became the soft target.

Sure enough, a Xiao Family Member named Xiao Ke selected him as his target.

However, under the guidance of the renowned master Old Yao, along with Xiao Yan's own arduous training, Xiao Ke had clearly run into a tough opponent.

After defeating Xiao Ke with ease, Xiao Yan truly cast off his reputation as a good-for-nothing and welcomed the awed and envious gazes of the people around him.

After Xiao Ke failed in his challenge against Xiao Yan, no one else dared to continue issuing challenges. The unqualified Clan Members had no choice but to seek other targets. After several rounds of matches, only two people managed to defeat their opponents through proficient Dou Techniques and a bit of luck, successfully entering the qualified ranks.

Watching the gradually calming training ground, Xiao Zhan finally rose with a broad smile and loudly announced the end of the test, along with several matters that needed attention regarding the Coming-of-Age Ceremony one month later.

Watching the members of the Xiao Family gather around Xiao Yan to congratulate him, Mo Yu had no interest in joining the excitement. He patted the dust from his clothes and prepared to leave.

"Cousin Mo Yu, tomorrow at the Skill Hall, my father will teach a Yellow Tier Advanced Dou Technique. Are you going too?" Xiao Mei asked with a smile from beside him. The contradictory combination of charm and purity on her Cheeks was truly captivating.

"No time."

Mo Yu was preparing to break through to the Dou Practitioner Realm over the next few days. Clearly, he had no time to court a little girl.

Hearing Mo Yu's blunt rejection, Xiao Mei's face stiffened at once. She then glanced toward another lively area, where a black-clad Youth was receiving everyone's congratulations. She lightly bit her lip and walked toward Xiao Yan.

Seeing this, Mo Yu coldly laughed inwardly. A Woman like Xiao Mei was the same in every world. What she said was affection, but what she kept hidden in her heart was always profit.

Mo Yu Shook His Head. He felt no disappointment and simply turned around and left...
