Xiao Yan broke through to the Dou Zhe realm, and for a time, no one could match his fame.
The families of Wutan City grew restless upon hearing the news.
First, there was Xiao Yu, a genius who had reached six-star Dou Zhe at thirteen. Then came Xiao Yan, an unparalleled genius who broke through to Dou Zhe at eleven.

Even so, they did not dare act rashly.
Although their families were not much weaker than the Xiao Family, Lord Fu Ye, a Fourth-grade Alchemist, was someone they could never afford to offend.

Xiao Zhan and the other elders raised their cups and drank together.
Fu Ye merely sat calmly among several little girls, eating pastries.
"Lord Fu Ye, allow me to offer you a toast."
As the star of the day, Xiao Yan stood and toasted Fu Ye, showing the greatest sincerity he could.
Fu Ye looked at him with interest. "Mm, you drink it all. I'll drink as I please."
Xiao Yan froze upon hearing that. Fu Ye's words had clearly taken him by surprise.
"Alright, I'll finish mine. You may drink as you please."
After several cups in a row, Xiao Yan's vision began to blur.
Though Xiao Yan was a Dou Zhe, he did not use Dou Qi to dispel the alcohol. Instead, he relied on sheer willpower
