If you can, it's also okay to break their legs first

"Ding! Detected Xiao Long's provocation, triggering a choice!"

[Choice One: You decide to swallow your pride and become a Ninja Turtle. Task completion reward: "Ninja Turtle" title! Level up by one!]

[Choice Two: Go up and give him two Big Slaps, teach him how to live. Task completion reward: Level up by two! Note: Xiao Long and Xiao Hu are both One-star Dou Practitioners!]

[Choice Three: Loudly declare, "No more pretending, I'm a genius and I'm coming clean," go test your own strength, then return to challenge the Xiao Long and Xiao Hu brothers. Task reward: Profound Tier Mid-grade Dou Skill: Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track! Earth Tier High-grade Dou Skill: Mountain Overturning Sea Suppressing (Incomplete)! (Placed directly into item space upon selection.) Defeating both brothers grants Profound Tier High-grade Dou Skill: Kyōka Suigetsu! Level up by two!]

"Huh? Isn't this a Demon Brother Who Dotes on Younger Brother system? Why does this trigger a system choice too?" Xiao Lang was a bit surprised.

"Anything has a chance to trigger a choice. That makes it easier to dote on your brother!" the system explained.

Xiao Lang didn't really care, but he was afraid some two-faced jerks might ask, so he threw out the question.

Then Xiao Lang carefully looked over the options.

He didn't even want to look at Choice One, and even felt like giving the system two Big Slaps!

What the hell is a Ninja Turtle?!

Your whole family are turtles!

And level up by one? Level up by a hundred...

I'll think about it.

As for Choice Two, it seemed satisfying—go up and give two Big Slaps—but walking over there, the other party would clearly be on guard, making it hard to actually land a hit.

Still, the temptation of leveling up by two was pretty big!

Completing the task would instantly let him reach the strength of a Three-star Dou Practitioner!

But actually pulling it off would be tough.

Better to go with Choice Three. It fits my personality, and the two Dou Skills as rewards are exactly what I'm lacking!

One speed skill and one power skill!

Not to mention, Choice Three rewards an Earth Tier High-grade Dou Skill! And it's a water-type skill, perfect for me to cultivate. Even if it's incomplete, beating Xiao Long and Xiao Hu brothers would be a piece of cake, right?

And winning gives the Profound Tier High-grade Dou Skill [Kyōka Suigetsu] and a level-up by two. In the entire Xiao family or even all of Wutan City, Profound Tier High-grade Dou Skills are few and far between. In the novel, even a Profound Tier High-grade Cultivation Method was auctioned off for five hundred and fifty thousand gold coins!

Thinking this, Xiao Lang shouted loudly:

"No more pretending, I'm a genius and I'm coming clean!"

With that, his right foot lightly tapped the ground, Dou Power surged, and he leaped up, landing in front of the Test Demon Stone Tablet.

"You think you're a genius too... Holy crap! Are my eyes playing tricks on me?!"

"Holy crap! How come I suddenly can't recognize those four characters?"

"One-star Dou Practitioner!? Are my eyes broken?!"

Just as the crowd was about to mock him, a flash of light burst from the Test Demon Stone Tablet, and the four big characters "One-star Dou Practitioner" shone brilliantly.

Of course, to some eyes, they were blindingly harsh.

"The Test Demon Stone Tablet must be broken. I don't believe it! Going from Three Stages of Dou Power to One-star Dou Practitioner in one year? How is that possible!"

"Right, right, right! The Test Demon Stone Tablet must be broken! How could that waste be a One-star Dou Practitioner? An eight-year-old One-star Dou Practitioner is unprecedented!"

"..."

Many snapped out of it, convinced the Test Demon Stone Tablet was faulty.

"This... could it really be broken?" Even Xiao Li found it hard to believe. He thought his third brother was no ordinary fish, but this was too far beyond reason.

"Could Third Brother have been hiding his strength all along? Concealing his true power?" Xiao Ding said in disbelief.

"But why would he do that?" Xiao Yan also couldn't figure out his third brother, but he was genuinely happy for him.

What he hadn't expected was that the "waste" he'd been comforting for years was actually a genius who outshone him.

Suddenly, he felt like the clown was himself.

"This..."

Even Xiao Zhan and the three Xiao family elders showed expressions of disbelief, momentarily at a loss for words.

"Broken?" Xiao Lang sneered, then suddenly released the aura of a One-star Dou Practitioner. In an instant, he seemed like a divine weapon waiting to be unsheathed!

"This aura really is a One-star Dou Practitioner!" Feeling the energy radiating from Xiao Lang, Xiao Zhan couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Hahaha, I knew it! None of my sons are wastes!"

"Dad, keep it low-key."

Xiao Lang raised an eyebrow and said, "Can you be as mature and steady as me?"

"..."

Xiao Zhan's mouth twitched. You clearly have a misunderstanding of what "mature and steady" means.

"Xiao Long, Xiao Hu, weren't you two acting all cocky just now? Today, I'm going to fight both of you. The loser has to call me 'Dad' from now on... no, let's make it 'Grandpa' instead."

Xiao Lang turned to look at Xiao Long and Xiao Hu beside him as he spoke.

After all, the term "Dad" had two meanings.

"What? Did I hear that right? Xiao Lang actually wants to take on Xiao Long and Xiao Hu alone? Don't forget, Xiao Long and Xiao Hu are also One-star Dou Practitioners, and they're nearly ten years older than Xiao Lang!"

"He's lost his mind! Even if you're a One-star Dou Practitioner, trying to fight two at once is impossible!"

Many people who heard Xiao Lang wanted to fight one against two showed expressions of shock.

Even Xiao Zhan furrowed his brow, looking at Xiao Lang as he said, "Lang'er, don't be reckless. Come down now."

"That's right, Third Brother, come down now. There's no rush. The night is long, and with Big Brother and Second Brother here, there's no need for you to act." Xiao Li also quickly urged, though his eyes were filled with excitement.

Since Xiao Lang had actually reached One-star Dou Practitioner, they could now rest assured about going out to train. Without them around, no one in the Xiao family would dare to secretly bully their little brother anymore.

"..."

Hearing Xiao Li's words, the two brothers Xiao Long and Xiao Hu twitched at the corners of their mouths.

Damn it, was ambushing people this blatant now?

Was there no law left?

The two brothers had already decided not to go out tonight—no, until Xiao Ding and Xiao Li left for their training, they wouldn't step out at night at all!

After all, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li were a few years older than them, so naturally, they were a bit stronger.

"Father, Big Brother, Second Brother, you can rest assured about how I handle things." The reason Xiao Lang did this was because his Cultivation Method allowed him to control water and he possessed a Profound Tier Mid-grade Dou Skill.

As fellow One-star Dou Practitioners, the one with the higher-tier skill naturally had a greater chance of winning.

Xiao Zhan stared at Xiao Lang without a word, but when he saw the confident look in his son's eyes, a smile spread across his face. He nodded and said, "A fledgling will never soar the skies under protection. Only with the courage to take that leap can it become a true eagle. Father believes in you."

"Father..." Xiao Lang looked at his father with a moved expression and said, "If possible, you could break their legs first—that would work too."

After all, the system only required him to win; it never said how.

He liked showing off, but he didn't like getting beaten.

If he could coast to victory, why would he throw himself into danger?

"..."

Xiao Zhan's mouth twitched, and his forehead was covered in black lines.

He thought his son had changed his ways, and after thinking so long just to come up with that bit of chicken soup, the kid turned around and poured it right out.

What a piece of work!

"Xiao Long, Xiao Hu, get up there and teach this brat a good lesson. He's getting more and more out of line." Xiao Zhan couldn't help but say.

At home, it was fine, but with this attitude outside, he'd definitely suffer a huge loss.

Better to let the kid learn his lesson at home than to court death out there.

But in the end, he worriedly added:

"Go easy."
