Oh No, Someone Has Their Eye on Me

The discussion surrounding this incident in the Family Council Hall never stopped.

No one knew how long had passed before it finally came to an end.

In this dispute, the Great Elder and Third Elder's side held the upper hand, leaving the Clan Leader no choice but to compromise.

The reason was ultimately that Xiao Yan's strength had regressed to Stage Three of Dou Qi. That was an undeniable fact.

Though he had compromised this time, as the head of the clan, he still had other methods at his disposal.

He believed that once he used those methods, the Great Elder and the others would not have an easy time either.

Of course, the true culprit behind this incident—Xiao Bai—had also caught the Clan Leader's attention after this affair.

If Xiao Bai knew that someone had set their sights on him so quickly, who knew what he would think.

Of course, Xiao Bai had no time to concern himself with such trivial matters. What mattered most to him now was improving his strength.

He had originally wanted to bypass the stumbling block that was Xiao Yan, but the Cheat had apparently anticipated this situation long ago and simply refused to mark the task as complete.

That was right. This Cheat was just that straightforward!

Still, it did not matter. Xiao Bai believed that Xiao Yan would definitely show up for the duel three days later. It was a matter of confidence.

Xiao Bai did not continue dwelling on these trivial matters. Instead, he poured his energy into cultivation and continued accumulating Energy Points.

However, not long after Xiao Bai began cultivating, a knock at the door interrupted him.

When he opened the door, Xiao Bai immediately saw a ball of flesh standing outside.

The round body bobbed up and down with its owner's rapid breathing, making one worry that if he fell over, he would roll away to who knew where.

Xiao Yuan panted heavily as he said, "Big Brother, I finished the task you gave me. The Gold Coins were only enough to buy two First-grade Magic Crystals. Here are the two Magic Crystals you wanted."

Ever since Xiao Yuan had been taught a lesson by Xiao Bai last time, he had developed a psychological shadow toward him.

But that was not even the end of it. Xiao Bai had then dragged him off to work as cheap labor, making him sell tickets. It had scared him half to death.

Those people paying the registration fee had looked at him with flames of anger in their eyes. Chills ran down his spine, and cold sweat soaked his back.

From the way those people looked at him, they had clearly taken him for one of Xiao Bai's men.

Xiao Yuan regretted it bitterly!

He could not help cursing Xiao Bai in his heart hundreds of times.

Why had he gone looking for Xiao Bai in the first place? If he had not sought him out, none of this would have happened.

But just as he was secretly regretting it, Xiao Bai defeated the first challenger.

As challenger after challenger fell, Xiao Yuan grew more and more excited.

He no longer had to fear that those people would plot against him behind his back, or worry that one day while walking down the road, someone would pull a black sack over his head and club him.

As Xiao Bai displayed his strength, the little fatty accepted his fate and sincerely began treating Xiao Bai as his big brother.

That was how the little fatty came to help Xiao Bai with his errands.

As he spoke, the fatty somehow produced a bag and handed it to Xiao Bai.

Clearly, it was the bag containing the two Magic Crystals.

Taking the bag, Xiao Bai did not immediately open it to inspect its contents. He merely held it casually and looked seriously at the fatty before him.

"Xiao Yuan, you did well. From now on, follow me."

As he spoke, he patted the little fatty's shoulder warmly, wearing an expression that said they were brothers from now on.

Of course, the little fatty was no fool. If he did not seize the chance to cling to this thigh now, then when would he?

So, following Xiao Bai's words, he replied, "Thank you, Big Brother. A peerless genius like you is rarely seen in this world. Being able to follow behind you is a blessing I must have cultivated for several lifetimes to earn..."

Hearing that, even Xiao Bai felt somewhat embarrassed. That praise was a bit too excessive.

After seeing Xiao Yuan off, Xiao Bai threw himself back into cultivation. He needed to keep accumulating more energy so that he would not be left with nothing in reserve later on.

Xiao Bai took out the Magic Crystals the little fatty had delivered and began absorbing them.

Finally, after an hour, the first Magic Crystal turned into ash.

Another hour passed, and the second Magic Crystal followed in the first one's footsteps.

Of course, the two Magic Crystals had not been wasted.

The two Magic Crystals provided Xiao Bai with 1,000 Energy Points. Added to what he had left over from this period, it should be enough for Xiao Bai to raise his level twice more.

Naturally, that was only possible if he focused solely on improving his strength.

Stage Six and Stage Seven of Dou Qi required 600 and 700 Energy Points respectively. After absorbing the energy from the Magic Crystals, he already had enough.

With confidence in his heart, Xiao Bai organized his gains.

After being perfected, the Dou Skill Mystic Seal had become a Xuan-tier high-grade Dou Skill. It could be used for both offense and defense, and possessed seven layers in total.

However, Xiao Bai had only reached the Minor Mastery realm, allowing him to use only the first three layers. Of course, that did not mean its attack power was lacking.

By Xiao Bai's estimation, if he used the complete Mystic Seal, its power might not be weaker than an Earth-tier low-grade Dou Skill.

But Xiao Bai felt that this was enough!

Because he had a feeling that something better awaited him later. It was a form of self-awareness and self-assurance.

Personal Information Panel

Name: Xiao Bai

Energy: 1500 Points

Strength: Peak Stage Five of Dou Qi

Attribute: Light

Dou Skills: Flash Step (Mastery), Shattering Stone Palm (Mastery), Mystic Seal (Minor Mastery)

After organizing his gains and completing a thorough examination of himself, Xiao Bai continued improving his strength.

To Xiao Bai, Energy Points were the foundation upon which he would establish himself on this continent.

As Xiao Bai immersed himself in cultivation, the space fell quiet.

At the Panel, a +0.01 flickered every four or five minutes. That was the speed at which Xiao Bai absorbed energy.

At this rate, Xiao Bai had an enormous undertaking ahead of him!

While everyone was preparing for the duel three days later, a girl and a boy were discussing something in a side courtyard.

"Who caused this incident?" The boy asked the girl with a trace of anger on his face.

The girl did not hide anything from the person before her.

"Oh, someone named Xiao Bai. His strength is pretty good! What's wrong, Cousin Xiao Yan?"

These two were none other than Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er.

What had happened in the clan had already spread throughout the clan, so the two of them had some understanding of the matter.

Xiao Yan's expression turned slightly cold as he said in an unfriendly tone, "I suspect this incident is not that simple. It seems someone is targeting me."

"Who?" Xiao Xun'er immediately became anxious upon hearing that.

Someone actually dared to deal with Brother Xiao Yan. That was enough to make her angry—perhaps even angrier than if someone had been targeting her.

"Oh, that Xiao Bai is highly likely to be the one!"

Xiao Xun'er somewhat agreed with Xiao Yan's words and began making plans in her heart.

"Xiao Bai, is it? I'll remember him!"
