[Break Delusion: Ignores cultivation level disparity, can see through the weaknesses of all living beings.]

[Enlightenment: Instantly masters any cultivation technique or battle skill upon sight, and can deduce and improve them to perfection.]

[Remaining divine abilities pending unlock!]

"Damn!"

"So this is the Twin Pupils? That's just too overpowered!"

Even though Xiao Yang had mentally prepared himself, he was still utterly shocked.

First was the ability of "Break Delusion"—its greatness needed no words.

Even if he was just a Little Kalamity now, he could still ignore cultivation realms and see the weaknesses of Peerless powerhouses.

He couldn't wait to try it out on his cheap dad.

And the trait of "Enlightenment" was even more insane!

Others might spend ten years painstakingly cultivating a technique, but he only needed a single glance to master it, and he could even improve and evolve it.

More importantly, these were just the first two divine abilities inherent to the [Invincible Twin Pupils]. More could be unlocked, waiting for him to discover.

Right now, Xiao Yang's mood could be summed up in one word: awesome!

With the Twin Pupils, his name would surely be on the pinnacle of the Human Race's martial path in the future—and at the very top.

Still, he covered his left eye with an eyepatch.

At least for now, it wasn't time to draw his blade!

On the other side, at the Eldest Prince's Estate.

Xiao Junlin had been humiliated earlier, with Ning Hongye pressing a War Saber to his neck—he'd nearly kicked the bucket!

Born with the Supreme Bone, he had always been regarded as the Xiao Family's prodigy. Today, all his dignity had been trampled, and he was deeply displeased.

So as soon as he returned, he went into secluded cultivation. Driven by that resentment, he actually made some progress.

"I broke through! Fifth Grade Vajra Realm, second layer!"

Xiao Junlin's eyes snapped open, and the Supreme Bone on his back shimmered with light.

In an instant, his blood surged, his bones sang in unison, and a domineering aura radiated from within his body.

"Thump thump thump!"

Suddenly, a flurry of hurried footsteps came from outside.

King Zhenbei and the Xiao Family's elders rushed in urgently, their expressions a mix of anxiety and excitement.

"Father King, elders, why have you come?" Xiao Junlin asked, somewhat surprised.

"My son, were you just cultivating and made a breakthrough?" King Zhenbei asked expectantly.

"That's right!"

Xiao Junlin nodded in reply: "Father King, I used the Supreme Bone to break through the realm. I'm now at the second layer of the Vajra Realm!"

At these words, everyone rejoiced.

"As expected of the Eldest Prince—truly the bearing of a true dragon!"

"Breaking through and drawing forth Purple Qi Coming from the East, along with the Nine Great Phenomena—this talent surpasses even the founding emperor of Great Xia!"

"With the Eldest Prince here, the Xiao Family's thousand-year foundation is secure!"

The elders showered him with praise, sparing no flattery.

But Xiao Junlin was a bit confused.

Purple Qi Coming from the East? Nine Great Phenomena?

Wasn't it just an ordinary breakthrough?

He had been in secluded cultivation and hadn't noticed any phenomena outside, but under everyone's adulation, he started to get carried away, even developing a strange self-confidence.

"Could it be... that I'm truly a once-in-ten-thousand-years genius?!"

Thinking this, Xiao Junlin couldn't help puffing out his chest and curling his lips into a smile.

"Transmit this king's command—"

"From now on, my son Junlin's cultivation resources will be doubled, and he may freely enter and exit all nine floors of the [Armory]!"

King Zhenbei issued the order, bestowing heavy rewards.

In his view, Xiao Junlin's rise wasn't just about the individual—it was tied to the Xiao Family's fate.

Though he was King Zhenbei, wielding great power, he was ultimately still beneath one man!

And His Majesty on the throne was no wise ruler, spending his days seeking immortality through cultivation, leaving state affairs to eunuchs, plunging the people into misery and discontent.

But King Zhenbei was ambitious. A Great Man born into this world—how could he languish under another's thumb forever?

Nightfall.

Ninth Young Master's Mansion.

Though Xiao Yang never set foot outside, he still learned from the maidservant Huangli that his Eldest Brother had been named the Xiao Family True Dragon.

He naturally sneered at it—how could those extra cultivation resources compare to the system?

"Young Master, urgent news!"

Suddenly, Huangli pushed the door open, her face full of panic. "The Prince has ordered you to go to Miss Ning's place tonight... to enter the bridal chamber!"

What?!

Hearing this, Xiao Yang leaped straight up from the bed.

He had only just met Ning Hongye today, only seen her once...

No!

She was clad in that iron lump, and he hadn't even laid eyes on her face, but the system had judged her a "peerless beauty" of the highest order.

He wouldn't mind entering the bridal chamber, but Ning Hongye certainly wouldn't agree!

"Huangli, what's going on? The betrothal ceremony between Miss Ning and me hasn't even been held yet—this goes against all custom!"

Xiao Yang sensed something fishy.

"Young Master, it was the Eldest Prince who suggested it to the Prince. He said Miss Ning has served in the army since childhood and doesn't care for formalities. Better to seize the day than pick a date—so tonight was chosen for the bridal chamber!" Huangli explained.

"That bastard again!"

Xiao Yang frowned. Was this cheap Eldest Brother of his trying to send him off to die and be reborn?

After all, in the eyes of outsiders, Ning Hongye was a Fiend Star Woman. Rumors said she kicked enemy heads around like leather balls and ate several children in one meal...

But this was a good chance to give her the Kirin Golden Light Armor that Father King had bestowed on him.

He wondered what treasure the system would gift him in return this time.

In the prince's detached courtyard, a fine bedchamber.

"Thump, thump, thump!"

Xiao Yang knocked on the door. "Miss Ning, it's Xiao Yang!"

"Enter!"

A cold voice came from inside.

Xiao Yang pushed the door open. He was wearing the Kirin Golden Light Armor, and with his handsome features, he cut quite the figure of a young general.

But the black eyepatch over his left eye was a bit jarring.

Inside the bedchamber, the light was dim. A few red candles were lit, and paper-cut "double happiness" window decorations adorned the walls—a full bridal atmosphere.

Yet Ning Hongye, the bride herself, still wore her battle armor as she sat on the bed.

Beside her, the guard Azure Luan stood with a blade at his waist, sizing up Xiao Yang with a scrutinizing gaze.

Xiao Yang returned the look.

On their wedding night, why was she here? Was she Ning Hongye's dowry maidservant?

He had to admit, this guard Azure Luan was also a stunner.

She was tall, her form-fitting Leather Armor outlining a curvy figure—full and round, with a flat stomach, a wasp waist, and perky hips.

Her face was striking, but her brows carried a fierce, untamed pride. She looked every bit a wild, unbroken Fiery Steed!

"Kid, what are you staring at?"

Azure Luan's opening words were sharp. "Xiao Yang, don't think that just because you flattered General Ning a bit, you're worthy of her! As long as I'm here, you won't touch the General!"

"Azure Luan, no rudeness!"

At that, Ning Hongye spoke again. "Xiao Yang, I agreed to the betrothal, but I've just returned from campaign and am unwell. It's not convenient to consummate the marriage tonight. Please forgive me."

"It's fine."

Xiao Yang quickly waved his hand. "This matter... should come after the betrothal ceremony. Tonight was all my Eldest Brother's doing!"

Hearing this, both Ning Hongye and Azure Luan seemed to breathe a quiet sigh of relief.

"I'll leave right away, but before I go, there's one thing I need to do," Xiao Yang added.

"What is it?" Ning Hongye asked.

Then, Xiao Yang walked straight up to her, reached out his right hand, and placed it directly on the armor over her chest.

For a moment, even Ning Hongye, who had seen all kinds of grand scenes, was stunned.

Was this... a chest grab?!
