Xiao Clan

Biodata

Background / History

The Xiao Clan is based in Wutan City and is described as the surviving main line of a once-dominant clan on the Dou Qi Continent. Its bloodline is considered severed, and the clan had declined to the point that Da Dou Shi-level experts were its remaining high-end strength. The Ancient Clan is stated to have subjected it to hidden suppression after its earlier fall. 2 74

When Xiao Ling tested at the eighth stage of Dou Power at age six, the clan was shocked by his talent. After he privately revealed that he had reached Dou Practitioner, Xiao Zhan and the senior leadership concealed his true strength and permitted him to hunt in the back mountain, recognizing the value of protecting him. 1 3

Under Xiao Ling's guidance, the clan strengthened its younger generation through morning lessons, improved techniques, assessments, hunting competitions, medicinal resources, and personal training. The Year-End Assessment was expanded to include a Hunting Competition against captured magic beasts, while rewards included a Second-Rank Breakthrough Pill and clan resources. 5 7

Xiao Ling later used Blood Coagulation Powder and other medicinal products to expand the clan's market influence, deliberately drawing the Aoba and Jialie Families into a Hunting Tournament. The clan's elders accepted his plan to eliminate the rival families and support the clan's future growth. 74 76 81

The Xiao Clan organized the large-scale Hunting Tournament in Qingshan Town, fielding ten selected juniors under Xiao Wu's command. The tournament ended with the Xiao Clan's victory, Aoba Pa's surrender, and the effective collapse of the former three-family balance in Wutan City. 103 105 111 113 142

Following the tournament, Xiao Ling proposed an alliance centered on the Xiao Clan to integrate Wutan City's forces and resources. The Xiao Alliance was formally established, with Xiao Zhan as Alliance Leader, Xiao Ling as Young Alliance Leader, and Ling Ying serving as Supreme Elder under the identity of Gu Yao. 147 149
