If You Can, You Might as Well Break Their Legs First

"Ding! Xiao Long's provocation detected. Choice triggered!"

[Choice One: You decide to swallow your anger and become a Ninja Turtle. Reward upon completion: the "Ninja Turtle" title! Level +1!]

[Choice Two: Go up and give him two Big Slaps, teaching him how to behave. Reward upon completion: Level +2! Note: Both Xiao Long and Xiao Hu are One-star Dou Practitioners!]

[Choice Three: Loudly declare, "No more pretending. I'm a genius, and I'm coming clean!" Go test your strength, then return and challenge the Xiao Long and Xiao Hu brothers.

Mission reward: Profound Tier Mid-grade Dou Skill: Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track Step!

Earth Tier High-grade Dou Skill: Mountain Overturning Sea Suppressing (Incomplete)! (Immediately placed in the item storage upon selection.)

Defeat the two brothers to obtain the Profound Tier High-grade Dou Skill: Mirror Flowers, Water Moon! Level +2!]

"Hm? Isn't this the Demon Brother Who Dotes on Younger Brother System? Why could this trigger a system choice too?" Xiao Lang asked in surprise.

"Any matter has a chance of triggering a choice. That makes it more convenient to dote on your younger brother!" the system explained.

Xiao Lang did not actually care at all, but he was afraid some idiots might ask, so he asked anyway.

Then, Xiao Lang carefully examined the options.

He did not even want to look at Choice One. He even wanted to give the system two Big Slaps!

What the hell was this Ninja Turtle nonsense?!

Your whole family is made up of turtles!

And Level +1? Even if it were Level +100...

I'd have to think about it.

As for Choice Two, it looked satisfying—walk up and give them two Big Slaps—but if he approached them directly, they would obviously be on guard. It would not be easy to land a hit.

Still, the temptation of gaining two levels was rather huge!

Once he completed the mission, he would instantly possess the strength of a Three-star Dou Practitioner!

It was just that completing it would be rather difficult.

Choice Three was better. It suited his personality, and the two Dou Skills rewarded were exactly what he lacked!

One was a speed skill, and the other was a strength skill!

Not to mention that Choice Three rewarded an Earth Tier High-grade Dou Skill! It was even a water-element Dou Skill, perfectly suited to his cultivation. Even if it was incomplete, defeating the Xiao Long and Xiao Hu brothers should be easy, right?

If he won, there would also be the Profound Tier High-grade Dou Skill [Mirror Flowers, Water Moon] and a Level +2 reward. One had to know that the number of Profound Tier High-grade Dou Skills in the entire Xiao clan, or even all of Wutan City, could be counted on one hand. In the novel, a single Profound Tier High-grade cultivation method had even sold at auction for 550,000 gold coins!

Thinking of this, Xiao Lang shouted loudly:

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

Then he lightly tapped the ground with his right foot, circulated his Dou Qi, and leaped into the air, landing before the Test Demon Stone Tablet.

"You think you're a geni—holy shit! Am I seeing things?!"

"Holy shit! Why do I suddenly not recognize those four words?"

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

Just as the crowd was about to mock him, light flashed across the Test Demon Stone Tablet, and the four words "One-star Dou Practitioner" shone with blinding brilliance.

Of course, in some people's eyes, they were painfully dazzling instead.

"The Test Demon Stone Tablet must be malfunctioning! I refuse to believe that someone could go from Three Stages of Dou Power to a One-star Dou Practitioner in a single year. How is that possible?!"

"Exactly, exactly! The Test Demon Stone Tablet must be broken! How could this trash possibly be a One-star Dou Practitioner? An eight-year-old One-star Dou Practitioner is unheard of!"

"..."

Many people came to their senses and assumed that the testing enchanted stone had malfunctioned.

"Th-this... Could it really be broken?" Even Xiao Li found it unbelievable. Though he believed his Third Brother was no ordinary person, this was simply too far beyond reason.

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

"But why would he do that?" Xiao Yan could not quite understand his Third Brother either, but he was sincerely happy for him.

He just had not expected that the "trash" Third Brother he had comforted for so many years would turn out to be an even more outstanding genius than himself.

He suddenly felt as though he had been the clown all along.

"This..."

Even Xiao Zhan and the Xiao clan's three elders wore expressions of disbelief, rendered speechless for a moment.

"Malfunctioning?" Xiao Lang sneered. Then the aura of a One-star Dou Practitioner abruptly burst forth, making him seem like a divine weapon awaiting its emergence into the world!

"This aura really belongs to a One-star Dou Practitioner!" Feeling Xiao Lang's aura, Xiao Zhan could not help laughing loudly. "Hahaha! I knew it! Not one of my, Xiao Zhan's, sons is trash!"

"Father, keep a low profile."

Xiao Lang raised his brows. "Can't you be as mature and composed as I am?"

"..."

Xiao Zhan's mouth twitched. This kid must have had some serious misunderstanding about the words "mature and composed."

"Xiao Long, Xiao Hu, weren't you acting pretty arrogant just now? Today, I'm going to beat the two of you. The losers will call me Dad from now on... No, Grandfather sounds better."

Xiao Lang turned to Xiao Long and Xiao Hu beside him.

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

"What? Did I hear that right? Xiao Lang wants to fight Xiao Long and Xiao Hu alone? Xiao Long and Xiao Hu are both One-star Dou Practitioners too, and they're nearly ten years older than Xiao Lang!"

"Has he gone insane? Even if you're a One-star Dou Practitioner, fighting two One-star Dou Practitioners is impossible!"

Many people revealed astonished expressions upon hearing that Xiao Lang wanted to fight two opponents alone.

Even Xiao Zhan frowned as he looked at Xiao Lang. "Lang'er, don't be ridiculous. Come down at once."

"Exactly, Third Brother, come down quickly. There's no rush. The night is long, and you have your eldest and second brothers. There's no need for you to act." Xiao Li hurriedly tried to persuade him, though his eyes were filled with excitement.

Xiao Lang had actually reached the One-star Dou Practitioner realm. Now they could leave to gain experience without worry. Without them around, no one in the Xiao clan would dare bully their younger brother in secret.

"..."

Hearing Xiao Li's words, the Xiao Long and Xiao Hu brothers' mouths twitched.

Damn it, were sneak attacks this open and aboveboard now?

Was there any law left?

The two brothers had already made up their minds not to go out tonight. No—not until Xiao Ding and Xiao Li left to gain experience, they would not go out at night at all!

After all, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li were several years older than them, so naturally, they were somewhat stronger.

"Father, Eldest Brother, Second Brother, don't worry. I know what I'm doing." The reason Xiao Lang dared to do this was because his cultivation method allowed him to control water, and because he possessed a Profound Tier Mid-grade Dou Skill.

Among One-star Dou Practitioners, the side with superior Dou Skills naturally had a greater chance of victory.

Xiao Zhan stared at Xiao Lang without saying a word. But when he saw the confidence in his eyes, a smile appeared on his face. He nodded and said, "A young eagle sheltered by protection can never soar through the skies. 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 deep emotion. "If you can, it's also fine if you break their legs first."

After all, the system only required him to win. It never said how he had to win.

He liked showing off, but he did not like getting beaten up.

Why would he throw himself into a fight when he could win while lying down?

"..."

Xiao Zhan's mouth twitched, his face covered in black lines.

He had thought his son had changed. He had thought for so long before managing to squeeze out that bowl of inspirational soup, only for this brat to dump it right back on him.

Impressive. Truly impressive!

"Xiao Long, Xiao Hu, get up there already! Teach this brat a proper lesson. He's getting more and more out of line!" Xiao Zhan could not help saying.

It was fine at home, but with that personality, he would definitely suffer badly outside.

Rather than letting this brat get himself killed outside, it was better to let him learn a lesson at home.

However, he added worriedly at the end:

"Stop at the proper point."
