Seven-Star Dou Emperor! Strength Increase!

Chapter 28

Xiao Xun'er took a deep breath, calmed the emotions in her heart, and only then spoke.

"Brother Xiao Xuan, I'll head back first."

Xiao Xuan nodded.

Xiao Xun'er turned and left the courtyard.

After watching her figure slowly disappear, Xiao Xuan quickly withdrew his gaze.

The next second, an electronic notification suddenly rang out in his mind.

[Mission completed.]

[Host has received a random feedback reward.]

[Generating feedback...]

[Congratulations, Host has obtained a cultivation increase.]

A vast surge of power exploded within Xiao Xuan's body.

Dou Qi surged wildly through his meridians.

His cultivation began to rise.

The bottleneck of a Six-Star Dou Emperor was instantly broken through.

Seven-Star Dou Emperor.

Xiao Xuan's Dou Qi continued to rise, only gradually stopping after reaching the peak of the Seven-Star Dou Emperor realm at that terrifying rate of growth.

Xiao Xuan opened his eyes, and a flash of golden light passed through them.

Peak Seven-Star Dou Emperor.

He was only one step away from becoming an Eight-Star Dou Huang.

Feeling the abundant power within his body, Xiao Xuan's lips curved slightly upward.

He took several jade bottles from his Storage Ring. They contained Heavenly Spirit Pills he had refined previously, with several pills still remaining.

Xiao Xuan left the courtyard and headed toward Xiao Xun'er's residence.

The light in Xiao Xun'er's room was still on.

Xiao Xuan knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Xiao Xuan pushed the door open and entered.

Xiao Xun'er was sitting cross-legged on the bed. When she saw him enter, a smile appeared on her face.

"Brother Xiao Xuan."

Xiao Xuan walked to the bedside and handed her the jade bottles.

Xiao Xun'er accepted them and opened one for a look.

"Heavenly Spirit Pills?"

"Mm." Xiao Xuan said, "You're now an Eight-Star Dou Zhe. These pills can help you improve quickly."

Xiao Xun'er tightened her grip on the jade bottle in her hand.

"Brother Xiao Xuan, thank you."

Xiao Xuan looked at her.

"Cultivate well."

With that, he turned and left the room.

Xiao Xun'er watched his departing back, her eyes filled with gratitude.

She opened one jade bottle and poured a Heavenly Spirit Pill into her mouth.

As the pill entered her stomach, a warm medicinal force spread through her body.

Xiao Xun'er closed her eyes and began guiding the medicinal power.

Time passed bit by bit.

The Dou Qi fluctuations in the room became increasingly distinct.

The bottleneck of an Eight-Star Dou Zhe began to loosen.

Dou Qi churned.

Her aura suddenly surged.

Nine-Star Dou Zhe.

Xiao Xun'er opened her eyes, a faint smile appearing on her face.

Xiao Xuan walked out of his room.

Dawn had just broken, and a faint morning mist still filled the courtyard.

Just as he was preparing to head to the Cultivation Plaza, the system's voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

[Mission issued: Lead the bound target, Xiao Xun'er, out of Wutan City for field training.]

[Destination: Green Mountain Town.]

[Unlocking the Green Mountain Town map will grant one random feedback reward.]

Xiao Xuan looked at the system panel.

Green Mountain Town.

A small town at the edge of the Magic Beast Mountain Range.

Xiao Xuan accepted the mission.

He turned and headed toward Xiao Xun'er's residence.

Xiao Xuan knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Xiao Xuan pushed the door open and entered.

Xiao Xun'er was sitting cross-legged on the bed, having just emerged from her cultivation state.

The moment she saw Xiao Xuan, a smile immediately appeared on her face.

"Brother Xiao Xuan."

Xiao Xuan walked to the bedside.

"Xun'er, I plan to take you out for field training."

Xiao Xun'er froze for a moment.

"Field training?"

"Mm." Xiao Xuan said, "We're going to Green Mountain Town, a small town on the edge of the Magic Beast Mountain Range. Your current strength needs actual combat to stabilize."

Xiao Xun'er's eyes lit up.

"Alright."

Xiao Xun'er nodded.

"Then I'll go make preparations."

After leaving Xiao Xun'er's residence, Xiao Xuan headed toward the Xiao Clan's main hall.

Xiao Zhan was seated in the main seat, holding a cup of tea.

When he saw Xiao Xuan enter, he set down his teacup.

"Xuan'er, you came to see your father so early. What is it?"

Xiao Xuan walked up to him.

"Father, I'm taking Xun'er out for training for a while."

Xiao Zhan froze for a moment.

"Going out for training? Where to?"

"Green Mountain Town," Xiao Xuan said.

Xiao Zhan fell silent for a moment.

Green Mountain Town lay at the edge of the Magic Beast Mountain Range. While it was no dragon's den or tiger's lair, it still held no shortage of dangers.

But he knew Xiao Xuan's current strength.

Six-Star Dou Emperor.

With such strength, Xiao Xuan could walk sideways even in the Jia Ma Empire. Protecting Xiao Xun'er would be more than enough.

"Alright." Xiao Zhan nodded. "When are you leaving?"

"Tomorrow," Xiao Xuan said.

Xiao Zhan looked at him.

"Be careful."

Xiao Xuan took several jade bottles and several scrolls from his Storage Ring and placed them on the table.

Xiao Zhan froze for a moment.

"What are these?"

"Pills, cultivation methods, and Dou Techniques," Xiao Xuan said. "Father, take these and cultivate with them."

Xiao Zhan picked up one jade bottle and opened it for a look.

A rich medicinal fragrance rushed toward him.

A Third-Rank Pill, the Foundation Strengthening Pill.

He picked up another scroll and unfolded it for a look.

A Mystic Tier Intermediate cultivation method.

Xiao Zhan looked at the pills and scrolls on the table, his eyes reddening slightly.

Xiao Zhan took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement in his heart.

"Xuan'er, your father thanks you."

Xiao Xuan looked at him.

"Father, there's no need for such formality between family."

Xiao Zhan nodded and patted Xiao Xuan on the shoulder.

"Go. Train well. Your father will wait for you to return."

Xiao Xuan turned and left the main hall.

Xiao Zhan sat in the main seat, looking at the pills and scrolls on the table without speaking for a long time.

The next morning.

The sky had not yet fully brightened.

Xiao Xuan walked out of his room.

Xiao Xun'er was already waiting for him in the courtyard.

"Brother Xiao Xuan."

Xiao Xuan walked up to her.

"Are you ready?"

"Mm." Xiao Xun'er nodded.

The two left the courtyard and headed toward the Xiao Clan's main gate.

After stepping outside the Xiao Clan's gates, Xiao Xun'er looked back once.

"Brother Xiao Xuan, let's go."

Xiao Xuan nodded.

He activated the Dou Qi within his body, and wings of Dou Qi spread from his back.

His figure shot into the sky, flying toward the Magic Beast Mountain Range.

Green Mountain Town.

A small town at the edge of the Magic Beast Mountain Range.

Xiao Xuan and Xiao Xun'er landed outside the town.

The two entered Green Mountain Town.

Xiao Xun'er looked at the bustling scene lining both sides of the street, her eyes full of curiosity.

The surrounding mercenaries all showed a trace of surprise when they saw them.

A boy of fifteen or sixteen, accompanied by a girl of about the same age.

Both wore extraordinary clothing, clearly not ordinary people.

Several mercenaries began whispering among themselves.

"Where did those two little ones come from? Why did they come to Green Mountain Town?"

"Who knows? Judging by how they're dressed, they seem to be from some major clan."

"What are some young master and young lady from a major clan doing in a place like this? Aren't they afraid of dying?"

Xiao Xuan listened to their words without any change in expression.

Xiao Xun'er frowned but ignored them as well.

The two found an inn and settled in.

Xiao Xuan stood by the window in his room when the system's voice sounded in his mind.

[Green Mountain Town map unlocked.]

[Mission completed. Host has received a random feedback reward.]

[Generating feedback...]

[Congratulations, Host has obtained a Fifth-Rank Pill formula: Spirit Recovery Pill.]

Xiao Xuan looked at the system panel.

According to the system panel's description, this pill could help a Dou Shi-level expert.

Temporarily possess the strength of a Dou Ling.
