Super Mysterious Gift Pack, Xiao Yan's Fury

After he finished swearing, Zi Yu chuckled. "Good! You've got guts! You're a real man! I'll accept you as my little brother, then. My name is Zi Yu."

As Zi Yu's words fell, the system's voice rang out in his mind.

"Ding-dong! Congratulations, Great Host! You have successfully taken the Son of Destiny of the Dou Qi Continent—Xiao Yan—as your little brother. Rewards are now being issued: one Super Mysterious Gift Pack and 50 Million Merit Points."

Seeing that the rewards had finally been issued, Zi Yu was overjoyed!

He was quite looking forward to the Super Mysterious Gift Pack rewarded by the system.

He had an instinctive feeling that what lay inside this Super Mysterious Gift Pack would be anything but ordinary!

However, now was not the time to open it. First, he needed to solve Xiao Yan's inability to cultivate.

Zi Yu still admired Xiao Yan.

He was loyal and devoted to those he cared about!

He was far better than a certain little bastard!

Thus, Zi Yu looked at Dongfang Jing beside him and softly said, "Sister Jing! I think you've seen something too, haven't you?"

The moment his words fell, Ling Qingzhu, Gu Xun'er, Miao Ke'er, and Xiao Yan—the Four People—simultaneously turned to look at Dongfang Jing, their eyes full of questions.

Dongfang Jing smiled lightly. "Hehe! Master truly is impressive! You're right—I have indeed discovered the source of the problem."

Just as I thought! Yao Chen's soul is hidden inside the Ring on Xiao Yan's hand. A Dou Saint-level expert really can uncover this secret!

Dongfang Jing's words also confirmed his speculation.

The others beside them were completely bewildered by the cryptic exchange between the two.

Seeing their confused expressions, Zi Yu smiled faintly. "Xiao Yan! Take off the Ring on your left hand and give it to me first."

Hearing Zi Yu's words, Xiao Yan became even more confused.

"The Ring... it was a keepsake his late mother had left him..."

Seeing that Xiao Yan was reluctant to hand over the Ring on his finger, his eyes filled with reluctance and attachment.

Seeing this, Zi Yu gently shook his head.

Still, he naturally understood how Xiao Yan felt.

Zi Yu spoke softly once more. "Don't worry. This Young Master won't steal your things. Do you still want to solve the problem of your inability to cultivate?"

At those words, Xiao Yan hurriedly removed the Ring from his finger and placed it in Zi Yu's hand. With an apologetic expression, he said, "Sorry, Young Master! I was just stunned for a moment. Here..."

After accepting the Ring, Zi Yu said nothing about it. Instead, he calmly asked, "Xiao Yan! Do you know why your realm fell? Why, despite cultivating so diligently, you still can't advance even a single step?"

As he spoke, he looked at the Ring in his hand.

By now, how could the others not understand the true root of the problem?

"Little Yu! Are you saying the reason he has been unable to make any further progress in cultivation lies in this Ring?"

Ling Qingzhu said in shock.

"That's right, Brother Zi Yu! Is there something wrong with this Ring?..."

Gu Xun'er hurriedly asked as well.

Hearing the two women's questions, Zi Yu said indifferently, "That's right! This Ring is far from simple! A Soul Body is sleeping inside it. Here, Sister Jing, I'll leave it to you. Please examine the Soul Body's exact condition."

With that, he handed the Ring to Dongfang Jing.

After Zi Yu finished speaking, Ling Qingzhu, Gu Xun'er, Miao Ke'er, Xiao Yan, and the others all wore stunned expressions!

Then, Zi Yu continued explaining.

"Talent is determined by heaven. A person's talent cannot simply vanish into thin air. Xiao Yan, the reason your cultivation fell from the Dou Zhe realm to Three Stages of Dou Qi, and the reason you've been unable to advance any further, is because this Soul Body has been constantly absorbing your dou qi. It is only by relying on your dou qi for nourishment that its soul has avoided dissipating."

The instant Zi Yu finished speaking, Xiao Yan flew into a rage!

"Ah!... Ah!..."

"No wonder my cultivation has been stuck all this time! So it was because the Soul Body inside the Ring kept absorbing my dou qi! I'll fight it to the death!"

Seeing that Xiao Yan seemed on the verge of losing control, Zi Yu said sternly, "Calm down! Xiao Yan, I understand how you feel, but he is currently in a dormant state. With your current cultivation of Three Stages of Dou Qi, you are nowhere near capable of hurting him."

After saying that, Zi Yu wore an inscrutable expression.

In the original story, the bond between Xiao Yan and Elder Yao, master and disciple, had been extraordinarily deep!

Yet now, this situation had arisen. It was truly interesting!

Still, it was understandable. Xiao Yan and Yao Chen did not know each other yet. Naturally, Xiao Yan was filled with hatred for the culprit behind all his suffering!

Only after hearing Zi Yu's words did Xiao Yan gradually calm down, though his eyes still looked as if they could spew fire.

On the other side, Ling Qingzhu, Gu Xun'er, Miao Ke'er, and Dongfang Jing all looked at Xiao Yan with sympathy.

Tsk, tsk! How pitiful! What kind of wicked things had this guy done in his previous life?

Otherwise, why would he be this unlucky in this life?

Just then, Zi Yu continued soothing him softly. "Don't worry. Since you are now my little brother, I will definitely seek justice for you."

Then, Zi Yu turned to Dongfang Jing and asked, "Sister Jing! How is he?"

"Master! This Soul Body is in fairly good condition. Not only does it have this Young Master's dou qi sustaining it, but it is also protected by a fairly powerful Heavenly Flame. It appears to be the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, ranked eleventh on the Heavenly Flame Ranking. However, if it cannot replenish its energy, it may still dissipate over time."

Dongfang Jing spoke slowly.

After being summoned by the system to the Dou Qi Continent, she had already become thoroughly familiar with the Dou Qi Continent's cultivation system and information regarding certain heavenly treasures!

Thus, she naturally recognized what kind of Heavenly Flame the Soul Body carried.

Upon hearing Dongfang Jing's words, everyone present except Xiao Yan, that "cultivation illiterate," was shocked!

Eleventh on the Heavenly Flame Ranking!

Bone Spirit Cold Fire!

Ling Qingzhu, Gu Xun'er, and Miao Ke'er were naturally quite knowledgeable!

Anyone capable of possessing such a Heavenly Flame was certainly no ordinary person!

For a moment, the three women looked at Xiao Yan with strange expressions.

To have his dou qi absorbed by someone who could be called such a major figure—was that your misfortune, or your good fortune?

On the other hand, Zi Yu naturally knew the identity of the Soul Body inside the Ring perfectly well!

However, since Dongfang Jing had already mentioned the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, he could conveniently reveal Yao Chen's identity next.

Zi Yu put on an astonished expression and asked, "Sister Jing! Are you sure it's the Bone Spirit Cold Fire?"
