Xiao Yao Shocks Everyone

Six days later, in the Xiao Family's martial arts hall.

Besides the servants cleaning up, only Shātu Demon Sage Zhu Ding and Xiao Ting, who had arrived early, were present.

Xiao Ting gazed at the martial arts stage constructed from Sect Tier stone materials before him, as if he could already see Xiao Yao, who possessed the Chaos Body, being defeated by him.

"Disciple, you now have the cultivation of the first level of the Mana Condensation Realm, and your strength appears to be at the Mana Condensation Realm third level peak, so you cannot lose today."

"But Xiao Yao possesses the Chaos Body. Even if he is defeated by you today, he will definitely be stronger than you in the future. At that time, your and your father's predicament should not require me to elaborate!"

Zhu Ding stopped there. He knew that if he said any more, and Xiao Yao was crippled or even killed, he definitely wouldn't be able to escape responsibility.

Xiao Ting pondered for a moment and greatly agreed with his Master's words.

Therefore, today was not about winning or losing, but about a fight to the death.

Brother Xiao Yao, don't blame me for being ruthless. If you have to blame someone, blame yourself for blocking my path.

Seeing Xiao Ting's sinister smile mixed with a gloomy expression, Zhu Ding understood that his hint had taken effect.

An hour later.

Besides the Xiao Family's First Elder Xiao Wei, the other eight Elders and influential clan members had taken their seats, while the rest of the clan members had surrounded the entire martial arts hall tightly.

In an unmanned spot outside the martial arts hall, Xiao Wei looked at Xiao Ting with great satisfaction and said, "Your current cultivation and strength are very good, but your father is still uneasy."

"Therefore, take this Hun Yuan Pill, which can temporarily increase your strength. If you find yourself at a disadvantage, take it!"

Xiao Ting really wanted to say it wasn't necessary, but feeling Xiao Wei's extremely firm gaze, he could only put it into his Storage Ring with one hand.

Meanwhile, in the Xiao Family's Young Clan Leader's courtyard.

"Disciple, the duel time is almost here!" Dongfang Xuetong reminded him.

Xiao Yao immediately ended his meditative posture and stood up, saying, "Master, how many chances do you think I have to win against Xiao Ting now?"

"Ten percent!" Dongfang Xuetong said with absolute certainty.

In just six days, her disciple Xiao Yao's cultivation had advanced to the Peak of Transcendent Realm Ninth Layer.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would have definitely thought the other party was bragging.

Xiao Yao nodded slightly. Besides the Flash Time Golden Fruit's tenfold cultivation speed increase, all subsequent sign-ins provided cultivation resources that accelerated cultivation without side effects.

Thinking of this, he realized he hadn't signed in for today yet, so he silently chanted in his heart, "Sign in!"

[Beep! Sign-in successful. This is the first sign-in after completing seven consecutive days, so the reward tier has been upgraded to Saint tier.]

[Beep! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Saint tier bloodline, Heavenly Spirit Eyes. This bloodline has a total of three stages. Currently, you can only use the first stage, which grants extraordinary insight, the ability to observe the flow of power, cast and see through illusions, and replicate non-bloodline-specific spells.]

It's this strong even in the first stage?

This increases my chances of defeating Xiao Ting even more!

Sizzle!

After a crackling sound, Xiao Yao found that his vision was vastly different from before.

He could clearly see the flow of spiritual energy in the air and the spiritual energy content within various living beings.

When his gaze fell upon his Master, the vast and profound Mana made him feel dazzled.

Dongfang Xuetong didn't notice the abnormality in Xiao Yao and merely asked, "Disciple, are you ready?"

"Of course, I'm ready!" Xiao Yao said forcefully, looking very energetic.

Whoosh!

Dongfang Xuetong tore through space with a thought, enveloped Xiao Yao's body with her Mana, and then entered the spatial rift.

The next moment, she and Xiao Yao appeared on the martial arts stage in the martial arts hall.

"Tearing through space, it's said that only those who reach the Saint Realm can do it."

"But the Young Clan Leader's Master is not in the Saint Realm; she is the Lotus Sword Emperor with Emperor Tier cultivation."

"Wow! A Great Emperor! I've only ever heard of them in stories or read about them in textbooks. I never thought I'd witness one today."

"It's a shame she's covered in white immortal light, otherwise, we could see the Lotus Sword Emperor's true appearance."

"Even so, I feel the Lotus Sword Emperor is truly beautiful. I'm completely satisfied!"

Actually, Dongfang Xuetong didn't need to tear through space; she could have simply used a spatial teleportation spell.

But she wanted to build momentum for Xiao Yao, so she naturally chose a method that could fully showcase her prestige.

"Disciple, your battle begins now."

Xiao Yao nodded and responded with a heavy "Mm." Then, his gaze shifted to Xiao Ting, who looked even more handsome and demonic after being tempered by Shātu Demon Sage.

Whoosh!

Dongfang Xuetong appeared on the wall of the martial arts hall, standing still. Her hair fluttered in the breeze, making her look even more ethereal.

"Brother Ting, you'd better use your full strength, or you'll be defeated very quickly!"

Facing Xiao Yao's words, Xiao Ting showed no fear and even calmly replied, "Brother Xiao Yao, I'll return those words to you verbatim."

In the next moment, Xiao Ting's aura erupted from his entire body, revealing his cultivation at the first level of the Mana Condensation Realm.

"Holy crap! First level of the Mana Condensation Realm?"

"I remember Xiao Ting's cultivation was at the peak of the ninth level of the Mortal Transformation Realm seven days ago. This cultivation speed is too terrifying!"

"It seems his master, who is in the Saint Realm, is no pushover either!"

"Although the Young Clan Leader has a master in the Emperor Tier guiding his cultivation, seven days is really too short. It would be good enough if his cultivation could reach the first level of the Mortal Transformation Realm!"

The Xiao Family members didn't hold much expectation for Xiao Yao.

This was because the Mortal Transformation Realm was the stage where solidifying one's foundation was most crucial, and most people wouldn't choose to forcefully break through.

On the other hand, they all felt this duel was merely the Young Clan Leader showing the First Elder some face.

But just then, Xiao Yao also unleashed his aura, his cultivation at the peak of the Transcendent Realm Ninth Layer displayed for everyone to see.

"This... this can't be real!"

"Peak of Transcendent Realm Ninth Layer cultivation? Has the Young Clan Leader been hiding his cultivation all along?"

Xiao Wei stared at the scene. He was absolutely certain that seven days ago, Xiao Yao was a useless person with no cultivation.

So, what had Xiao Yao experienced in these past seven days?

This also confirmed his previous worries.

Was this the confidence that allowed the Young Clan Leader to dare to challenge Xiao Ting?

The Second Elder, Xiao Long, and the other eight Elders' eyes widened. They hadn't expected the era of the Young Clan Leader to arrive so soon.

Before this, they thought it would take at least a year or two!

Xiao Ting's expression grew solemn. Like everyone else, he hadn't expected Xiao Yao to be so outrageous.

Zhu Ding's brows furrowed deeply. From his observation, Xiao Yao's foundation was very stable; his cultivation wasn't raised by force at all.

This cultivation speed was completely beyond his comprehension.

Was the Chaos Body truly this powerful?

Fortunately, Xiao Ting still held a significant advantage in cultivation.

Combined with the Hun Yuan Pill his father gave him and his own subtle hints, Xiao Ting should be able to eliminate Xiao Yao. If that happened, the Lord's duel would surely succeed.

"Young Clan Leader Xiao Yao, and Xiao Ting's duel, begins now!" Xiao Wei shouted.
