With Mo Yu's rise and his support of the Xiao Family's Twin Dragons' reputation, Xiao Ning did not challenge Xiao Yan in indignation as he had in the Original Work.
After all, with Mo Yu's outstanding performance preceding him, Xiao Ning had lost confidence in whether he could defeat Xiao Yan.
This unexpected change had spared Xiao Ning the humiliation of losing face before everyone.
After Mo Yu's ceremony ended, more Clan Members continued to take the stage. However, under the shocking shadow he had created, the achievements of the other Clan Members seemed rather dull and lackluster.
Xun'er's appearance at the end caused quite a stir. A fifteen-year-old Dou Zhe—such an achievement was only slightly inferior to Xiao Yan's performance back then.
Although Xun'er's results were impressive, many people present had already heard of the Xiao Family's most dazzling pearl. Thus, while they were amazed by her achievements, compared with the sudden shock brought by the Xiao Family's Twin Dragons, it was much smaller.
The Coming-of-Age Ceremony lasted from early morning until afternoon and finally came to a slow close amid the field's waves of exclamations. As everyone dispersed, pair after pair of eyes still could not help casting traces of shock toward the calm, handsome youth in blue and the steady youth in black below the stage.
Looking at the Coming-of-Age Ceremony as it ended, Mo Yu stretched lazily. This boring ceremony, which was little more than going through the motions, was truly dull to the extreme.
After the Coming-of-Age Ceremony, Mo Yu's life returned to its former tranquility.
Furthermore, some time after breaking through to the Dou Practitioner Realm, Mo Yu had successfully condensed thirteen Lightning Patterns for the Thunder Adamant Body Dou Technique.
Mo Yu was now undoubtedly the focus of the clan. Wherever he went, respectful and fearful gazes followed him like shadows, along with waves of reverent greetings.
"Whoosh!"
Within the lush green Back Mountain forest, a lithe figure resembling a roaming dragon flashed rapidly, nimbly avoiding the obstacles scattered throughout the woods.
The youth was like a roaming dragon beneath the sea, weaving through the forest. The obstacles beneath his feet could not hinder him in the slightest, and his speed far surpassed that of an ordinary Dou Practitioner Realm expert.
"Chī!"
The rapidly flashing figure suddenly came to a halt. His legs bent slightly, his upper body tilting into a strange arc. Then, amid a low sound, his body shot into the air. His feet trembled, and the tips of his toes actually came to rest atop a tree!
Although the black shadow could remain atop the tree for less than ten seconds, anyone who saw it would certainly be filled with shock. Such movement techniques were clearly beyond what an ordinary person could accomplish.
After the black shadow's body hovered atop the tree for several seconds, a ray of light flashed beneath his feet. His body twisted, and with a whoosh, he appeared atop a large tree several meters away. If a faint scratch had not still lingered in the air, anyone would have believed that such speed had broken through the obstruction of space and reached the terrifying realm of teleportation.
"A Profound Tier Movement Dou Technique. It feels pretty good to use!" The black shadow landed steadily on the tree trunk, and a somewhat cheerful voice rang out.
"Nine Flashes of the Roaming Dragon!"
This was precisely the Profound Tier Movement Dou Technique Mo Yu had mastered over the past several days!
After breaking through to the Dou Zhe level, he had only just become capable of using a Movement Dou Technique. Thus, he had learned the Nine Flashes of the Roaming Dragon Dou Technique he had purchased at the auction some time ago.
Moreover, in his Previous Life, Mo Yu had improved and strengthened this Dou Technique, bringing it to a level comparable to a Profound Tier High-Grade Dou Technique.
What he had learned was naturally this enhanced version.
Although the Nine Flashes of the Roaming Dragon was said to have nine flashes, that was merely a figurative number. In reality, there were only three: Instant Flash, Shadow Flash, and Swift Flash.
The three had no distinction in power; they simply served different purposes.
Instant Flash lay in its instantaneous activation, almost like teleportation, catching an opponent off guard in battle.
Shadow Flash used high-speed movement to create a shadow identical to the main body and imbued with a certain level of Dou Qi strength, making it impossible for an enemy to distinguish between them for a time. It was similar to the Shadow Clone Technique.
Swift Flash was mostly used for long-distance travel. It could be used to hurry along, engage in mobile combat, or pursue and kill an enemy, making it extremely practical.
In his Previous Life, Mo Yu had already used this Dou Technique with great proficiency. Thus, after picking it up again, he found it easy and natural to use.
Swift Flash was still manageable, but even after breaking through to the Dou Zhe level, Instant Flash consumed more than half the Dou Qi Inside Body. Clearly, in battle, it could only serve as a killing blow.
As for Shadow Flash, with his current amount of Dou Qi, he could not even release a proper Shadow Clone.
After resting for a moment, Mo Yu slowly recovered his condition. The Next Moment, the youth's brows suddenly furrowed. He narrowed his Eyes slightly and gazed beyond the woods.
After brushing a few withered leaves from his body, Mo Yu wore an amused smile at the Corner of the Mouth and walked lazily toward the edge of the woods.
As he walked out of the woods, warm sunlight spilled over his body, making the bones throughout his Whole Body feel somewhat weak.
Mo Yu tilted his head slightly and looked at the figure of a Woman atop a large boulder not far away.
The sunlight fell upon the graceful Woman's delicate body, outlining alluring curves. A pair of sexy, slender Long Legs looked especially enticing.
Mo Yu sized up Xiao Yu atop the boulder, his hands tucked into his pockets. He slowly walked beneath it and looked up at the cold, beautiful face of the Woman. His gaze lingered on those sexy Long Legs for a moment before he Rubbed His Nose and said indifferently, "Your legs are beautiful. Cousin Xiao Yu, are you deliberately showing them off for me?"
With just that brief sentence, the cold Xiao Yu's pretty face instantly turned livid.
Her ample chest rose and fell slightly. Xiao Yu clenched her pearly teeth and said coldly, "Do you know why I came to find you?"
"If I remember correctly, Cousin Xiao Yu and I don't seem to have any grudge between us, do we?" Seeing the Young Girl's expression, as though she were on her period, Mo Yu spread his hands and said somewhat innocently.
Under the sunlight, the handsome youth looked like an innocent, delicate Young Girl being bullied by Xiao Yu, this domineering Young Master.
Seeing this, Xiao Yu also sensed that something was wrong. She had clearly come to seek justice and fairness, so why did she instead look like a villain?
Seeing that the youth before her really seemed not to know anything, Xiao Yu also suppressed her anger. However, a trace of gloom still remained between her brows.
"The Family High-Level Officials want to betroth me to you, and my Grandfather seems to agree with them as well."
A moment later, the Young Girl spat out the words one by one through her clenched teeth.
"Oh?" Hearing This, Mo Yu raised his brows.
He truly knew nothing about the Family High-Level Officials' idea, but after thinking it over, he found it somewhat understandable.
After all, he was not a pure-blooded member of the Xiao Family. Although Xiao Family blood flowed through him, his surname was Mo, not Xiao.
The intention of the family to win him over could be seen from the title of the Xiao Family's Twin Dragons, but a title like that was clearly not reliable.
Thus, a marriage alliance had become the best method.
From Xiao Mei before to Xiao Yu now, this also showed that the family was attaching increasing importance to Mo Yu.
Moreover, after Xiao Yan's talent recovered, Xiao Zhan, as the Clan Head, no longer feared the rise of the elders' faction. Therefore, he no longer obstructed the matter and instead began actively promoting it.
As a result, this matter had recently been placed on the family's important agenda.
At this thought, Mo Yu furrowed his brows. If I cannot accomplish my great undertaking, how can I establish a family?
He did not want to roam the continent with a wife and children in tow. Was that not absurd...
Mo Yu had just been about to say that he would not agree either, but when he saw the proud, cold look on the Young Girl before him, his brows rose. With a light laugh, he changed his reply.
"Oh? Is that so? To be able to marry a beauty like Cousin Xiao Yu, I am very much looking forward to it."
P.S. Brothers, I think I have fallen for Xiao Yu. What do you think...
