Coming-of-Age Ceremony

"You little pervert, today I'll carry out justice on Heaven's behalf!" Xiao Yu thrust her sword at Xiao Yan again and again.

But Xiao Yu, who was only a Three-Star Dou Zhe, was absolutely no match for Xiao Yan. What was more, Xiao Yu was not even as strong as Nalan Yanran had been a year ago, let alone able to defeat Xiao Yan.

Looking at Xiao Yu glaring at him with her Beautiful Eyes, Xiao Yan could only scratch his head and dodge for a while. Xiao Yan's footwork was agile and strange. Although it was only a Mystic Low-Rank movement Combat Technique, it was already more than enough to evade a Dou Zhe's attacks.

"It really was an honest mistake back then. I didn't mean to look at your body," Xiao Yan explained as he dodged.

Hearing Xiao Yan bring up the old incident in public, Xiao Yu bit her lips tightly. Her Beautiful Eyes stubbornly glared at Xiao Yan, the hatred in her gaze not decreasing but increasing instead.

"Xiao Yan, you little bastard, shut up!"

Ya Fei and the others not far away also heard the commotion and looked over. Ya Fei laughed and said, "I never expected that the Xiao Family's genius Young Clan Leader would also have a day when someone chased him down with a blade."

Xiao Zhan and several elders also smiled wryly again and again. In truth, before Xiao Yan, the strongest genius in the clan had been Xiao Yu. In the end, Xiao Yu had lived up to everyone's expectations and successfully entered Jia Nan Academy for further study.

Her return this year to attend the Coming-of-Age Ceremony was also for Jia Nan Academy's enrollment not long from now. She had come back early to discuss things within the family, hoping more clan members could enter Jia Nan Academy to further their studies and raise the family's strength.

"All right, enough playing." With a clang, Xiao Yan pinched two fingers together and clamped firmly onto Xiao Yu's Personal Sword. His fingers exerted force, directly flicking the Personal Sword away.

The fact that Xiao Yan had knocked away her Personal Sword so easily made Xiao Yu's Pretty Face turn ashen, her eyes blazing with fire.

"No matter what, I absolutely won't let you off easily today, you little pervert!" As soon as the words fell, Xiao Yu stepped forward with her left foot. Her graceful Delicate Body traced an enticing curve, and her sexy right leg actually carried a faint sound of tearing wind as it kicked viciously toward Xiao Yan's crotch.

Seeing Xiao Yu still refusing to let it go, Xiao Yan also grew displeased. What had happened back then really had been an accident, and besides, he was at least the Young Clan Leader. Today's Coming-of-Age Ceremony would officially announce Xiao Yan as Young Clan Leader. Xiao Yu was giving him far too little face.

With Xiao Yu making him lose face like this, Xiao Yan was naturally unhappy inside.

Facing this kick, Xiao Yan's gaze sharpened, and his right hand directly grabbed Xiao Yu's right ankle.

With her right foot caught, Xiao Yu hurriedly used her hand to cover her skirt to prevent herself from being exposed.

After struggling to no avail, Xiao Yu glared angrily at Xiao Yan, her full chest rising and falling slightly as she cursed in embarrassment, "Little pervert! Let go!"

Xiao Yan completely ignored Xiao Yu. Like he was leading an ox, he pulled Xiao Yu's long right leg and walked along the main road.

Xiao Yu supported herself on her left foot, hopping and bouncing as Xiao Yan dragged her along, roaring, "Let go! Let go!!"

"I'm the Young Clan Leader, at least. Aren't you treating me a little too much like I don't matter?"

"If a pervert like you becomes Young Clan Leader, I, Xiao Yu, won't acknowledge it even if I die!"

Xiao Yan's brows immediately lifted, and he said with ill intent, "Oh? So you're forcing my hand."

Xiao Yan directly took off Xiao Yu's shoe, then took out a medicinal herb like foxtail grass from his Storage Ring. Guessing what Xiao Yan wanted to do, Xiao Yu's expression changed drastically, and she screamed, fierce on the outside but weak within, "Xiao Yan! You... you dare!"

Xiao Yan sneered. "What would I, Xiao Yan, not dare to do?"

After speaking, Xiao Yan did not go easy on her. He picked up the foxtail grass and swept it back and forth over Xiao Yu's white-jade-like beautiful leg. It made Xiao Yu laugh, itch unbearably, and feel wronged all at once.

Looking at Xiao Yu's long jade leg exposed in the air, quite a few male onlookers could not help swallowing, and some even had certain physiological reactions.

They all held back from giving Xiao Yan a thumbs-up.

A feast for the eyes!

Just as even Xiao Yan himself was starting to have a little too much fun, a quiet, serene voice came from behind him: "It seems Xiao Yan Gege really likes playing this kind of 'game.'"

Hearing Xun Er's voice, Xiao Yan was suddenly startled and hurriedly let go of Xiao Yu's jade leg. Xiao Yu was caught off guard and landed on her buttocks on the ground.

He casually tossed away the foxtail grass in his hand and laughed. "Ahahaha, just a small punishment as a warning, nothing else."

Sitting on the ground, Xiao Yu's Pretty Face was now covered in an angry blush of humiliation. Her Beautiful Eyes held fury, and she gnashed her teeth as she shrieked, "Xiao Yan, I'm going to tear you into ten thousand pieces!! Bastard! Great big bastard!"

"Sis."

Xiao Ning and Xiao Mei walked over to Xiao Yu's side and helped her up. Xiao Yu and Xiao Ning were biological siblings.

"You came at just the right time, Xiao Ning. Let's join hands and catch him!"

Xiao Ning frowned tightly and said in dissatisfaction, "Sis, you're being a little unreasonable. How could the Young Clan Leader possibly have done such a filthy thing back then?"

!!!!! Xiao Yu thought: Are you really my brother??

Xiao Mei echoed, "That's right, Xiao Yu Tangjie. Xiao Yan Ge couldn't possibly be that kind of person. Xiao Yan Ge is an upright person."

"He's upright??? Did he drug all of you!"

As she cursed and cursed, tears gathered in the corners of Xiao Yu's eyes. She felt so wronged! She couldn't beat him, and even her own brother had been bought off by Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan awkwardly rubbed his nose. Although he was not a bad person, he was not quite that upright either.

After the farce, Xiao Zhan raised his head to look at the sky, clapped his hands, and said, "Stop fooling around. The Coming-of-Age Ceremony is about to begin."

The holding of the Coming-of-Age Ceremony had procedures so cumbersome they practically made one's head ache. Especially for Xiao Yan, as the Young Clan Leader, his ceremony was several times more complicated than everyone else's.

In the end, Xiao Yan was rendered numb and let several elders manipulate him as they pleased.

Looking at Xiao Yan's helpless appearance, Xun Er's watery large eyes curved slightly, and she said with a smile, "Xiao Yan Gege, these are rules that have been passed down all along. Even Uncle Xiao and the others have no way to change them.

Xiao Yan could only shake his head helplessly and secretly swear that when he became clan leader, these bad customs had to be changed!

After the Coming-of-Age Ceremony was finished, it was time for the most important strength test. Especially for some clan members who had still been at the sixth stage of Dou Qi last year, this was the most important thing of all. Whether they could stay in Wutan City depended on this test.

The host of the Coming-of-Age Ceremony was Second Elder Xiao Ying. One Xiao Clan member after another went forward to test. There were around thirty clan members aged fifteen, and half of them failed to meet the standard and were sent to other regions to open up wasteland.

"Xiao Yan, it's your turn." Second Elder gently beckoned to Xiao Yan, who was sitting in the VIP seats.

Xiao Yan was the last one. Because Xun Er's Coming-of-Age Ceremony was not being held in the Xiao Clan, so far, the person with the highest Cultivation Level in the ceremony was Xiao Mei, at the ninth stage of Dou Qi.

That was because Xiao Yan had given Xiao Mei a bottle of Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid, raising her to the ninth stage of Dou Qi.

The entire venue fell silent. Even Ya Fei, who had been listless the whole time, perked up with interest. In truth, everyone had come to see just how much Xiao Yan's strength had risen.

"What do you think Xiao Yan's Cultivation Level will be this time?"

"A year ago, Xiao Yan was a Three-Star Dou Zhe. Without some fortuitous encounter or the help of Medicinal Pills, being able to rise one star in a year would already be extremely impressive."

"Xiao Yan started cultivating qi at four and became a Dou Zhe at eleven. Ten levels in seven years. Although the Dou Zhe stage is a little harder, if he used some Medicinal Pills, it might not be impossible for him to rise two stars."

Atop the tall wooden platform, the huge black stone stele suddenly burst with light. Large golden characters appeared on its surface in bold, sweeping strokes.

Second Elder looked at the four words on the stone stele, and even he was stunned.

"Six-Star Dou Zhe!"

In the VIP seats, the crisp sounds of teacups falling to the floor rang out one after another. The representatives from Wutan City's various factions were all in disbelief.

Looking at the confident young genius in the field, even the older generation could not help rubbing their eyes, all feeling as if their old vision had gone blurry.

Ya Fei looked at the young man. She suddenly regretted saying that if Xiao Yan reached the Dou Zong level, she would wrap herself up and deliver herself to him, because at this moment, she vaguely felt that perhaps Xiao Yan really might become a Dou Zong! "Three stars in one year?!!!"
