Dou Zhe Six Star

Xiao Yan hurriedly shook his head at Xun Er's slightly cold words, his desire to survive extremely strong. "No, no."

Xiao Yu, seated beside Lin Feng, looked at Ya Fei. She knew this woman too—a renowned beauty of Wu Tan City. Her mature, seductive charm alone had made countless men fall at her feet. Seeing Lin Feng and Ya Fei whispering so closely together, she grew suspicious. Could it be that Lin Feng liked women like her?

It was not impossible. Boys like Lin Feng usually liked mature, sexy older sisters, did they not?

Ya Fei leaned close to Lin Feng, her voice soft and alluring. A faint fragrance drifted into his nostrils, while the warm breath she exhaled brushed against his ear, leaving him tingling and restless.

"Little Brother Lin Feng, your romantic luck is rather impressive."

Lin Feng turned his gaze toward her. They were so close that, as he looked at her teasing smile and those rosy, tempting lips, a surge of heat rose within him. For some reason, as though possessed, he leaned close to Ya Fei's ear and said, "Isn't Sister Ya Fei sitting here too?"

Lin Feng's breath brushed against Ya Fei's smooth neck. Seeing the blush spreading over her ears and her glistening earlobes, the fire in his heart flared up, and he actually gave one a light bite.

Ya Fei's body trembled. She hurriedly looked around and found that no one was paying attention to them. Lin Feng was blocking Xiao Yu's view as well, so all she could see was the two of them whispering. She had not noticed what had happened.

Even Ya Fei could not help blushing, making her appear even more breathtakingly beautiful. She softly chided him in a coquettish voice, "You've got some nerve."

Lin Feng came back to his senses and froze. Recalling what he had just done, he felt that he had been somewhat rash. But could he really be blamed? This enchantress teased him every day. He was merely returning the favor in kind.

Ya Fei did not dare stay any longer, lest this little rascal make another move. Rising to her feet, she said, "I'll give you a surprise later." Then she swayed her slender waist and left.

"How did you get so close to her?"

Seeing Ya Fei leave, Xiao Yu seized the chance to ask Lin Feng.

Lin Feng was still savoring that wonderful feeling when he heard Xiao Yu's question. He turned toward her, his gaze lingering briefly on her sexy, shapely long legs before he replied, "I handled some matters at the auction house. We got familiar with each other over time."

Xiao Yu snorted inwardly, clearly unconvinced that it was so simple. Judging by how they had looked just now, they were far more than merely acquainted. Sure enough, this guy was still as lecherous as he had been as a child. She should have given him a proper lesson back when he had peeked at her bathing, so he would have learned his lesson.

"Next, Xiao Yan!"

At that moment, the Xiao Family's Second Elder called out from the center of the venue. The arrogance that had once filled his face was long gone. During the previous test, the entire clan had learned that Xiao Yan had regained his cultivation talent.

Xiao Yan rose and walked toward the center.

In the VIP Seats, everyone stared intently at the black-clad youth on the stage. The Xiao Family's Third Young Master had once been second only to Lin Feng in fame. Later, however, something had happened, and his talent had vanished. Yet news that the Third Young Master of the Xiao Family had recovered had long spread among the major factions. Had the Xiao Family's former genius returned?

"Xiao Yan, Dou Qi: Eighth Stage!"

The Second Elder's voice rang out across the venue. The representatives of the major factions were dumbfounded. They had not expected his talent to truly return—and in such astonishing fashion. Reaching the eighth stage of Dou Qi in a single year was simply terrifying.

Xiao Yan looked at it all, deeply moved. He looked at Lin Feng and Xun Er below the stage, then at his father, and smiled at them. Today, he, Xiao Yan, had returned!

The Second Elder was equally shocked. Only after Xiao Yan stepped down did he call for the next participant.

"Next, Lin Feng."

The moment the name Lin Feng was spoken, the entire venue erupted into commotion once again. Lin Feng's reputation was already well known throughout the city. Many people had come this time specifically to see him.

"I heard he broke through to the Dou Zhe realm last time. I wonder how far he has progressed now."

Lin Feng slowly walked toward the stage. Xiao Yu's pretty face was filled with anticipation. Ya Fei sat beside Xiao Zhan, her beautiful eyes fixed on the white-clad youth in the center, sparkling with light. She believed that today, he would surely leave everyone astonished. Because only she knew just how terrifying this youth's talent was. What these people saw now was merely his talent in cultivation; they had no idea that Lin Feng was even more terrifying on the path of alchemy.

Lin Feng walked onto the stage step by step, drawing the attention of every faction. After all, his performance today might alter the balance of power within Wu Tan City.

Recently, because Lin Feng had been too much in the spotlight, the Xiao Family had vaguely begun to show signs of becoming Wu Tan City's number one family. Several other major families, including powerful ones like the Gale Family, had secretly begun cooperating. They were even searching for ways to deal with the Xiao Family, hoping to suppress them and prevent them from dominating alone.

However, because of Lin Feng's talent, their actions could only have a temporary effect. After all, no one was willing to offend a future powerhouse and a rising Xiao Family for the sake of immediate profit.

Moreover, Xiao Yan's talent now appeared to have returned as well. With Lin Feng and Xiao Yan, the Xiao Family's rise was only a matter of time.

The Second Elder looked at Lin Feng, the clan's genius, and a smile appeared on his aged face. "Begin."

Lin Feng nodded and slowly extended his palm. As he moved, everyone's breathing seemed to stop.

"Lin Feng! Dou Zhe Six Star!"

The Xiao Family Second Elder's slightly trembling, excited voice rang through the venue, echoing in everyone's ears.

"Dou Zhe Six Star! I remember he only broke through to the Dou Zhe realm not long ago. How could he improve so quickly?"

"What a freak!"

"A monster! With Lin Feng in the Xiao Family, they will surely soar to great heights in the future!"

"Lin Feng, Xiao Yan... Sigh, why can't my family produce geniuses like them?"

Everyone was filled with emotion. The factions friendly with the Xiao Family all stepped forward to congratulate Xiao Zhan. The smile on Xiao Zhan's face had not faded all day. His son Xiao Yan had regained his talent, while Lin Feng's progress was astonishing. At such a young age, he had already reached Dou Zhe Six Star. In the future, he would definitely reach the Dou Wang realm, perhaps even higher. With them in the Xiao Family, Xiao Zhan could finally rest easy.

As for those factions harboring ulterior motives, seeing this, they felt exceedingly conflicted. The Xiao Family's rise seemed inevitable. Leaving aside Xiao Yan's restored talent, Lin Feng alone was destined to achieve heights beyond anything they could compare to.

Ya Fei also looked at the youth in the center, her beautiful eyes gleaming with wonder. Grandmaster Gu Ni and she had originally guessed that this fellow might have only reached Dou Zhe Five Star. They had not expected him to attain the terrifying strength of Dou Zhe Six Star instead.

Surprise filled Xiao Yu's beautiful eyes as well. Ever since returning recently, she had constantly heard about how formidable Lin Feng had become. But seeing it for herself today truly shocked her.

"With his talent, he would be among the best even in the academy."

Xun Er merely watched Feng Ge with a smile, then said to Xiao Yan beside her, "Feng Ge is still as good at surprising people as ever."

Xiao Yan nodded as well. Indeed, Feng Ge's talent was truly terrifying. If everyone else learned that Feng Ge was also a Tier 3 Alchemist at such a young age, they would probably find it even harder to accept.

"This kid is a rare genius indeed. Who knows what great opportunity he obtained? Talent like this is rarely seen even among those clans."

Yao Lao could not help offering his praise.

"Haha, Xiao Clan Leader, congratulations!"

The smile on Xiao Zhan's face had not diminished all day. He said to the guests, "Everyone, please wait a while longer. After the ceremony ends, join us for the banquet."

Everyone nodded. The Xiao Family was no longer the Xiao Family it had once been.

The Gale Family and Oba Family, once equal in name to the Xiao Family, would likely be able to do nothing but look up at them from behind. The methods they had joined forces to use against the Xiao Family these past days would likely fail in the face of Lin Feng and Xiao Yan's talents displayed today.

However, at that moment, a voice rang out. "Xiao Clan Leader seems quite happy today."
