Wutan City, Xiao Family:

The Xiao Family's great hall was packed, with Clan Leader Xiao seated firmly in the main chair.

His face was livid, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles had turned white from the force.

His gaze was locked onto the young girl standing in the hall, his voice so low it sounded as if it were being squeezed from the depths of his throat:

"Niece Nalan, what did you just say?"

"Break off the engagement?"

"Is this the intention of the Nalan Family, or the intention of the Misty Cloud Sect?"

Clan Leader Xiao's voice, heavy with suppressed rage, echoed throughout the hall.

All the elders of the Xiao Family also wore grim expressions.

Although Xiao Yan had become a good-for-nothing.

Regardless, he was still the Young Master of their Xiao Family.

To have someone come to their doorstep to break off an engagement was a loss of face for the entire Xiao Family!

At this moment, the atmosphere in the Xiao Family's great hall was so heavy it was almost suffocating.

Below the dais, Nalan Yanran stood in a white robe, her expression cold and detached.

Between her brows lingered an innate sense of arrogance.

She raised her head slightly, meeting Clan Leader Xiao's gaze directly, her tone calm yet unquestionable:

"Uncle Xiao, I have come today precisely to dissolve the engagement with Xiao Yan."

"This is my own decision, and it does not involve my family or my sect."

"This matter has already received the approval of my Teacher, so I ask that you grant this request, Uncle Xiao."

"Nalan Yanran has prepared compensation for this."

"Bang!"

Clan Leader Xiao slammed his palm onto the table, and the heavy wooden desk instantly cracked.

He stood up abruptly, the aura of a Da Dou Shi erupting with a roar.

The air throughout the entire hall seemed to freeze:

"Nalan Yanran! Do you know that this engagement was personally set by your grandfather and my father?"

"Now, with one word of breaking the engagement, you intend to destroy the friendship between our two families?"

"To insult my family—what do you take my Xiao Family for!"

Clan Leader Xiao's voice was like thunder, making the eardrums of everyone in the hall ache.

Elder Ge Ye, standing behind Nalan Yanran, frowned slightly.

He stepped forward, blocking Nalan Yanran, and said indifferently:

"Clan Leader Xiao, this matter is Miss Nalan Yanran's personal decision; please do not lose your temper."

"Furthermore, given Young Master Xiao Yan's current condition, I fear he is no longer a match for my young miss."

"You!"

Clan Leader Xiao's eyes widened in fury, and he was about to lash out.

Suddenly, a lazy voice drifted in from outside the hall.

"No longer a match?"

"Heh, Miss Nalan, you are certainly quite confident."

"You claim it is entirely your own decision, yet you bring a group of people from the Misty Cloud Sect to pressure us with your influence."

"Is this what you call a decision entirely of your own, unrelated to your family or sect?"

"Utterly ridiculous!"

Everyone was stunned and turned to look toward the entrance.

They saw a young man walking in slowly with his hands behind his back.

His features were refined, and a playful smile hung at the corners of his mouth.

There was not a trace of anger to be seen.

It was none other than Xiao Yan.

"Yan'er?"

Clan Leader Xiao looked at his son with some surprise.

Xiao Yan walked calmly into the center of the hall and glanced at the virtual panel before him.

He then turned his gaze toward Nalan Yanran, the smile at the corners of his mouth deepening:

"Miss Nalan, since you wish to break off the engagement, then let it be broken."

"However, I have one condition."

Nalan Yanran frowned slightly and said coldly:

"What condition?"

Xiao Yan shrugged, his tone relaxed:

"It's very simple. Three days from now, we fight."

"If you win, the engagement is annulled, and I, Xiao Yan, will have nothing more to say."

"But if you lose..."

He paused, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes:

"You won't have to fulfill the engagement either; after all, I have my own beauty by my side."

"Even if you were given away for free, I might not even look at you."

As he said this, he suddenly turned his head to look at Xiao Xun'er, who was standing to the side of the main hall.

He winked at her, and seeing a faint blush spread across her face, he turned back with a light chuckle.

Looking at Nalan Yanran once more, the smile in his eyes vanished completely:

"But then it won't be you annulling the engagement—it will be me issuing a Divorce Letter to you!"

"Furthermore, the result will be made public."

"The Nalan Family and the Misty Cloud Sect must accept this Divorce Letter!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall erupted in an uproar.

The younger generation of the Xiao Family was collectively stunned:

"Wait, isn't Xiao Yan only at Three Stages of Dou Qi? Anyone who didn't know better would think he was a Dou Shi!"

"Even though we must stand united as the Xiao Family during such a critical moment."

"Isn't his behavior just too infuriating?"

"He's already become a piece of trash, yet he dares to provoke Nalan Yanran. Isn't he disregarding the reputation of our Xiao Family?!"

"Has he gone mad? Does he still think he's the genius he used to be?"

Elder Ge Ye, standing beside Nalan Yanran, could no longer hold back!

"Xiao Yan! You are being insolent!"

"A mere piece of trash, yet you dare to provoke our Young Sect Master like this!"

Elder Ge Ye roared, his aura as a Da Dou Shi erupting violently as he pressed down toward Xiao Yan.

He did not release his full pressure, yet Xiao Yan still felt his body sink heavily.

He used all his strength to hold his body upright, refusing to let his spine bend even a fraction.

He continued to look at Nalan Yanran with a smile:

"What's wrong? Miss Nalan prides herself on being a genius."

"Could it be that you don't even dare to accept a challenge from a piece of trash like me?"

Seeing Xiao Yan's attitude, which showed absolutely no regard for her, Nalan Yanran, who was no pushover herself, was incensed by his demeanor.

Her voice was tight with suppressed anger:

"Fine! Since you want to humiliate yourself, I will grant your wish!"

"Three days from now, I will make you understand the gap between a piece of trash and a genius!"

Xiao Yan nodded and turned to Xiao Zhan:

"Father, let it be settled this way."

Xiao Zhan looked at his son with concern:

"Yan'er, you..."

Xiao Yan waved his hand and smiled:

"Rest assured, Father, I know what I'm doing."

Having said that, he turned and left the main hall.

He left behind a crowd that was still stunned, unable to fully process what had just happened.

Returning to his room, Xiao Yan closed the door.

The smile on his face vanished instantly, replaced by a look of solemnity.

His tone was gritted through his teeth:

"Damn it, it's been loading since I was in the womb, and now it's finally ready!"

"Activate Character Panel."

[Ding! Character Panel activated!]

[Host: Xiao Yan]

[Current Character Template: Huo Linfei (Super Beast Armament)]

[Talent: Cosmic Talent (1%), Master of Fire (Top-tier), Peerless Comprehension (Top-tier)]

[Skills: None]

Xiao Yan looked at the translucent panel floating before him, the corners of his mouth curling upward.

That's right, who isn't a transmigrator these days?

And the panel before him belonged to that very man, the cheater who speedran a 100,000-year cosmic dungeon in seven days:

Huo Linfei!
