"Dou Qi: Seventh Stage!"

The testing Magic Stone Tablet displayed five gleaming words.

The middle-aged man beside it flashed a look of approval and announced loudly.

"Xiao Yang, Dou Qi: Seventh Stage! Rank: High!"

Before the Magic Stone Tablet stood a seemingly fourteen- or fifteen-year-old boy.

Though his face still carried a trace of youthful immaturity, he was exceptionally handsome.

Quite a few girls below the stage looked at him with admiration in their eyes.

"As expected of Young Master Xiao Yang. He has already reached the Seventh Stage of Dou Qi. By the coming-of-age ceremony, he should reach the Eighth Stage, or perhaps even the Ninth Stage."

"It would be one thing if he were only handsome, but his talent is this high too."

"With Young Master Xiao Yang's talent, he should become a Dou Zhe within three years, right?"

Xiao Yang ignored the voices around him and calmly walked toward a corner beneath the stage.

The praise around him could not stir even the slightest ripple in his emotions.

He slowly walked over to a boy.

At that moment, the boy wore a somewhat troubled expression.

However, when he saw Xiao Yang approaching, he still greeted him.

"Brother Yang."

Xiao Yang's expression changed slightly as well.

His face carried a hint of concern.

"Little Yanzi, it's fine. Your talent will recover sooner or later."

Upon hearing this, the boy could not help but reveal a bitter smile.

"Sigh, I don't know why my cultivation actually regressed."

"These past few years, only my father, my two brothers, Brother Yang, and Xun'er have continued to believe in me."

Xiao Yang smiled at his words and did not say anything further.

This boy was none other than Xiao Yan, who had fallen to the Dou Qi Third Stage.

Unlike the other Clan Members, Xiao Yang had not mocked or ridiculed Xiao Yan over the years, and their relationship remained the same as before.

Because he was a Transmigrator.

He knew that Xiao Yan would rise before long and soar into the heavens.

Fifteen years ago, Xiao Yang had suddenly died from overwork while staying up late to reread Battle Through the Heavens.

When he opened his eyes again, he had already transmigrated to the Dou Qi Continent and become Xiao Yan's cousin.

Xiao Yang's father had been Xiao Zhan's biological younger brother.

However, he and Xiao Yang's mother had been killed by enemies while the Xiao Clan was On the road to Wutan City.

Therefore, Xiao Yang had been raised by Xiao Zhan all these years.

Originally, after transmigrating here, Xiao Yang had wanted to work hard at cultivation.

Unfortunately, his talent was not particularly good.

Although it was considered decent in a small place like Wutan City.

Compared to true geniuses, however, it was nothing at all.

He had begun cultivating at the age of four, yet he had only reached the Seventh Stage of Dou Qi by now.

However, because he had grown up with Xiao Yan since childhood, he had a very good relationship with him.

After learning that his own talent was ordinary, he only wanted to quickly cultivate to the Dou Zhe realm and then cling tightly to Xiao Yan's thigh.

The reason he wanted to reach the Dou Zhe realm was because he planned to leave the Xiao Clan for a while afterward.

That way, he could avoid Yun Leng and the people from the Soul Hall coming to their door.

Without strength, even if Xiao Yang told Xiao Zhan that the Xiao Clan faced a great enemy and urged everyone to leave this place and live incognito, they would not believe him.

Since that was the case, Xiao Yang could only run away on his own.

In any case, within the Xiao Clan, only Xiao Zhan's family was close to him.

As for the other Clan Members, quite a few of them wanted to build a good relationship with Xiao Yang because of his looks and talent.

But Xiao Yang found it truly difficult to get along with those Peers.

So, he was only somewhat closer to Xiao Zhan's family.

Just then, a girl walked over from not far away.

Though she was still somewhat immature, one could already vaguely tell that she would grow into a beauty.

She walked directly to Xiao Yan's side and greeted the two of them.

"Brother Xiao Yan, Cousin Xiao Yang."

"So it's Xun'er."

When Xiao Yan saw her, a smile appeared on his lips.

After greeting her, Xiao Yang teased the two of them.

"Xun'er is here. In that case, I won't disturb you two little lovebirds."

"I'll be leaving first."

After saying that, Xiao Yang rose and prepared to return to his Small Courtyard.

Hearing Xiao Yang's words, Xiao Yan chuckled, while Xun'er blushed and did not deny it.

Although a wealthy little girl was tempting, Xiao Yang, having received nine years of compulsory education, was ultimately unlike a certain anti-inflammatory medicine that deserved to be shot and could lay hands on a little girl.

Therefore, although Xiao Yang had a good relationship with Xun'er over the years, they were merely friends.

Xiao Yan and Xun'er's relationship, on the other hand, remained the same as in the Original Work.

However, because Xiao Yang often teased them, their relationship was only one final layer away from being made clear.

After bidding the two farewell, Xiao Yang headed toward his Small Courtyard.

He could not be bothered to wait here while these people finished testing one after another.

As he walked out of Testing Square, he could faintly hear—

"Next, Xiao Yan!"

Before long, Xiao Yang returned to his courtyard.

Because of Xiao Zhan's influence, along with his own fairly decent talent within the Xiao Clan.

Xiao Yang also had a Small Courtyard of his own.

After returning to the Small Courtyard, Xiao Yang directly sat cross-legged in the yard and began cultivating.

At Testing Square, Xiao Yan stood before the Magic Stone Tablet and placed his hand on it.

The next moment, five large words appeared.

"Dou Qi, Third Stage!"

At the same time, a voice suddenly appeared in Xiao Yang's mind as he cultivated.

"Plot beginning detected. System binding in progress..."

Before Xiao Yang could reveal a shocked expression, the same voice rang out in his mind again.

"Task System binding successful. Host, please explore the system's functions yourself!"

Hearing the voice in his mind, Xiao Yang's eyes filled with excitement.

As a seasoned webnovel reader, he naturally knew what this was.

His Golden Finger had arrived!

"I knew it!"

"A Golden Finger is essential for every Transmigrator!"

"This system just arrived a few years late. Otherwise, I might already be a Dou Zong by now!"

He began silently reciting in his heart.

"System? Are you there?"

"What functions do you have? Is there a manual?"

Unfortunately, no matter what he said, the system did not respond.

He began trying to study the system.

"System, check in!"

"System, bind Xiao Yan as the return target?"

"System..."

"System, inspect the Attribute Panel!"

As Xiao Yang finished reciting silently, a transparent panel appeared before him.

[Host: Xiao Yang] [Attribute: Fire (with a trace of Wood)] [Physique: 11 (One in Ten)] [Bone Structure: 23 (One in Hundred)] [Spirit: 42 (One in Ten Thousand)] [Comprehension: 12 (One in Ten)] [Fortune: 22 (Green)] [Dou Qi Cultivation: Seventh Stage Dou Qi] [Soul Realm: Mortal Realm Mid-stage] [Dou Skills: Mountain Splitting Fist (Yellow-tier Mid-grade, Minor Accomplishment 2/10) Wind Chasing Steps (Yellow-tier Mid-grade, Minor Accomplishment 4/10)]

Looking at the contents of the System Panel, Xiao Yang immediately felt somewhat delighted.

First of all, he actually possessed the Fire Wood Attribute as well, which meant he could also become an Alchemist.

Secondly, perhaps because he had transmigrated and fused two souls, his Soul Realm had directly reached the Mortal Realm Intermediate stage.

Xiao Yang's current attributes could be said to be the standard Battle Through the Heavens system setup.

Fire Wood Attribute, along with a high Soul Realm—he was very suited to becoming an Alchemist!

His spiritual talent had thus been rated One in Ten Thousand.

As for his Bone Structure, being able to cultivate to this level at his age also made him One in Hundred.
