Shocking

Gazing at the four glittering golden words atop the black stone stele, the training grounds fell briefly silent. Then, wave after wave of sharp gasps rang out like the sound of bellows, and everyone's expressions froze in that moment.

"Mo Yu, One Star Dou Practitioner!"

Somewhat shaken by the four dazzling golden words, the Second Elder first rubbed his slightly bleary old eyes. After confirming that he had not seen wrongly, he could not help but shake his head in amazement before shouting loudly in his aged voice.

After freezing for a moment, everyone's eyes became blank and fixed on the black stone stele shining with golden light.

From the VIP Seat came the crisp, continuous sounds of teacups hitting the floor. The representatives from all the various factions of Wu Tan City were dumbfounded, their faces filled with disbelief.

The purpose of their visit this time had merely been to confirm whether the Xiao Family's Twin Dragons were truly as formidable as the rumors claimed.

Yet the situation now displayed before them not only confirmed the truth of the rumors, but also far exceeded their expectations.

Not only had the fallen genius Xiao Yan regained his talent, but the Xiao Family had also produced the Monster Mo Yu!

A sixteen-year-old Dou Zhe who had advanced four Duan within a year. Although that number was inferior to Xiao Yan's five Duan in a year, the quality was even greater.

That was because breaking through from Dou Qi to Dou Zhe was clearly far more difficult. It was entirely normal for ordinary people to remain at this stage for two or three years.

"The Xiao Family has really struck it rich this time..." In the VIP Seat, everyone could not help but draw in a light breath and mutter inwardly. With two Clan Members advancing several Dou Qi Duan within a year, and one of them even successfully advancing to Dou Zhe, it was easy to imagine how bright their futures would be.

"With this Cultivation Speed, perhaps... maybe in a few decades, the Xiao Family will produce two Dou Emperor-level super experts." The people in the VIP Seat exchanged glances, and a somewhat terrifying thought flashed through all their minds in unison.

Two Dou Emperors in one family—how terrifying would such power be?

The Three Great Families of the current Jia Ma Empire would probably have to move aside, while the imperial family that suppressed the entire world would also have to treat them with caution.

After all, two Dou Emperors would be enough to steadily occupy two seats among the Top Ten Experts of the Jia Ma Empire, and they would even be among those ranked near the top.

Thus, after witnessing the talents displayed by Mo Yu and Xiao Yan, no one dared question the name "Xiao Family's Twin Dragons" anymore. They were even extremely envious, if not jealous, of the Xiao Family.

At the center of the High Platform, Clan Head Xiao Zhan was once again provoked by the golden words on the black stone stele.

Only after a long while did he slowly exhale, turn his gratified gaze toward the Green-shirted Youth in the arena and the black-clothed Youth below the platform, and laugh loudly.

"Indeed, they are the Xiao Family's Twin Dragons. Good!"

As the Xiao Family's Clan Head and Xiao Yan's father, Xiao Zhan was undoubtedly filled with immense gratification and excitement. Not only had his son regained his talent, but the Xiao Family had also produced another Genius.

"Clan Head Xiao, the cultivation talents of the Xiao Family's Twin Dragons are truly shocking. Your Xiao Family is probably really going to rise this time." Beside Xiao Zhan, Ya Fei stared intently at the Green-shirted Youth in the arena. A glint flashed through her beautiful eyes as she slightly parted her red lips and spoke with a charming smile.

Xiao Zhan laughed twice. The pride and excitement on his face were almost impossible to conceal. He politely cupped his hands toward Ya Fei and seemingly sighed casually. "Young Miss Ya Fei, you flatter us. These two Little Fellows are always hiding themselves deeply. One's talent rises and falls unpredictably, while the other is often mysterious. I only hope they can remain steady and secure."

Ya Fei's alluring beautiful eyes curved slightly, and she chuckled softly with a charming air. She did not yet know whether Xiao Yan's talent would last or merely be a flash in the pan. The only thing she knew for certain was that Mo Yu was rather interesting.

As her mesmerizing gaze shifted slightly, Ya Fei had already made up her mind. In the future, she would interact more with the Xiao Family and do her best to befriend them!

Below the High Platform, Xiao Yu's small mouth hung slightly open, her pretty cheeks somewhat stiff. She stared at the black stone stele in the arena in shock. After a long while, her full chest rose and fell heavily for a moment before she lowered her head and angrily said to the equally astonished Xiao Ning, "Didn't you say he was only at the Ninth Duan? How did he level up again?"

Xiao Ning opened and closed his mouth, then muttered somewhat innocently, "He really was at the Ninth Duan last month... This month, he seems to have broken through again?"

"Rising from the Ninth Duan to One Star Dou Practitioner in a single month—how is that possible? Could this Guy really be that kind of Genius!?" Xiao Yu scolded with her Willow Eyebrows raised. This speed was practically comparable to the Geniuses on the Inner Academy Power Ranking of Jia Nan Academy.

For a time, she cast aside Xiao Yan's astonishing Cultivation Speed, her mind filled only with the thought: could Mo Yu really be a Genius?

At this moment, below the platform, Xiao Yan looked at the golden words and said enviously, "Cousin Mo Yu's strength has increased so quickly. I wonder when I'll be able to break through to Dou Zhe."

Beside him, Xun'er smiled gracefully upon Hearing This. "Brother Xiao Yan, you really are never satisfied. Your increase of five Dou Qi Duan in a year is already very enviable, yet you're still thinking about immediately breaking through to Dou Zhe? Wouldn't that make you a Monster among Monsters?

"Still, Cousin Mo Yu really is strong. He has already caught up with Xun'er."

Hearing This, Xiao Yan gave an awkward, bitter smile. With Xun'er and Mo Yu both having broken through to Dou Zhe, his five Duan in a year no longer seemed particularly impressive.

At this moment, Old Yao suddenly spoke from within the ring. "Stop envying him. Your Cousin Mo Yu has a great opportunity on him. His future growth will not be inferior to yours, and he may even surpass you.

"Moreover, I faintly sense that after breaking through to Dou Zhe, this Little Fellow seems to have undergone some kind of transformation. It is impossible to see anything yet, but in the future, he may become far stronger even than the little girl beside you.

"Fortunately, the two of you have a good relationship, and you now share the name Xiao Family's Twin Dragons. It seems the future of the continent will become much more interesting..."

Upon Hearing Old Yao's soul transmission, Xiao Yan's mind could not help but tense.

Xiao Yan had already made some guesses about the secrets surrounding Mo Yu. Just as Old Yao had his own secrets, everyone had their own opportunities, and Xiao Yan did not envy or resent him for that.

However, Old Yao's words that the secrets surrounding Cousin Mo Yu were no weaker than Xun'er's shocked Xiao Yan greatly.

Xun'er's mystery and strength had been etched into his mind since childhood. Yet the fact that Mo Yu, the grandson of a Butler, possessed an even greater secret was clearly astonishing.

Xiao Yan was surprised. Within the pitch-black space inside the ring, Old Yao was even more surprised than him.

After all, Old Yao knew Xiao Xun'er's identity. She came from one of the Eight Ancient Clans of the Central Plains. As someone from the Yao Clan, one of the Eight Great Imperial Clans, Old Yao was not unfamiliar with such a power.

A constitution even more formidable than those of the Eight Ancient Clans? That was truly something to look forward to...

Within the ring, Old Yao's aged voice slowly muttered.
