"Nalan Yanran!"
Xiao Yan watched his father's departing back, a playful smirk tugging at the corners of his mouth.
Recalling the plot of the original work, it was only after Nalan Yanran arrived to annul their engagement and he shouted that "Three-Year Agreement" that Xiao Yan truly embarked on his path of heaven-defying rise.
It could be said—
Nalan Yanran's annulment was the critical turning point in the life of the original Xiao Yan.
Without this humiliation, there would be no Flame Emperor who later shook the entire continent.
However, at this moment.
[Ding—]
The system's notification sound suddenly rang out in his mind.
[Detected that the destiny protagonist, Xiao Yan, will be stirred by Nalan Yanran tomorrow to ignite his "Destiny Struggle Heart," thereby further enhancing his destiny fortune!]
[New mission triggered—"Destiny Agreement"!]
[Mission success, reward: "Special Seven-Colored Ultimate Entry"—"Clan Fortune Embodiment"; from now on, your cultivation will be equal to the sum of the cultivation of all clan members!]
[Mission failure, no penalty!]
[Please, Lord Hun Tiandi, do your utmost to prevent the destiny protagonist from enhancing his fortune. Upon obtaining this entry, Lord Hun Tiandi will surely restore the former glory of the Hun Clan!]
[Hehehe...]
Xiao Yan was slightly stunned.
Oh?
The system has released a new mission again?
But thinking about it carefully, it was quite reasonable.
In the original plot, it was indeed Nalan Yanran's annulment that further ignited Xiao Yan's drive, leading him to set the Three-Year Agreement and embark on his path to defy fate.
This could indeed be considered a crucial plot line in Xiao Yan's life.
Subsequently—
When Xiao Yan's attention fell upon the mission reward, his breath hitched.
"Clan Fortune Embodiment?"
"Cultivation will be equal to the sum of the cultivation of all clan members?"
Xiao Yan's eyes widened, staring fixedly at those words, his heart surging with stormy waves.
Good heavens!
What an absurd entry this is?!
The sum of the cultivation of the entire clan!
What does this mean?
It means that for every additional member in the Xiao Family, his cultivation will increase by that much!
It means that every time a member of the Xiao Family breaks through, his own cultivation will rise accordingly!
Even if he couldn't make everyone a Dou Emperor, if the Xiao Family had thousands of members... reaching Dou Wang, or even Dou Huang, Dou Zong and above...
Then what a terrifying level would his stacked cultivation reach?!
"Holy..."
"As expected of a Seven-Colored Ultimate Entry!"
Xiao Yan couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
The effect of this entry was simply heaven-defying!
Although the Xiao Family currently only had a few hundred people, and the strongest was only a Great Dou Master, many a little makes a mickle.
What's more—
The Xiao Family was no ordinary clan!
The members of the Xiao Family possessed the bloodline of a Dou Emperor!
With the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade in his hands, as long as he managed it well, the Xiao Family would surely be able to restore its former glory in the future!
By that time...
Xiao Yan's gaze was fiery, his breathing becoming rapid.
"This mission is great!"
"This mission must be done!"
He clenched his fists tightly, a look of determination flashing in his eyes.
Nalan Yanran, you've come at just the right time!
I was just worrying about how to fleece the system!
Xiao Yan's lips curled upward, revealing a smile of anticipation.
He could hardly wait to see Nalan Yanran take the stage tomorrow.
However—
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yan stopped dwelling on it.
He tucked the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade into his robes, keeping it close to his body, then sat cross-legged on the bed.
Let's consolidate my cultivation first.
Xiao Yan closed his eyes and silently began to circulate the Burning Mantra.
Within his body, the majestic Dou Qi of a three-star Dou Huang surged like a river, cycling repeatedly through his meridians.
And within his Dantian—
A bewitching red fire lotus hovered silently, its twelve petals layered one upon another, emitting a scorching and eerie crimson glow.
It was none other than the Red Lotus Karma Fire.
With a flick of Xiao Yan's will, a wisp of crimson flame surged out along his meridians, dancing slowly across the surface of his skin.
The flame shifted between the form of a lotus and thin, flowing threads, intertwining with his Dou Qi. Under Xiao Yan's control, it was continuously tempered and fused.
The temperature in the room rose abruptly.
However—
With the power of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner shrouding the area, all traces of energy were tightly sealed within the room, not a single bit leaking out.
Inside the Myriad Dao Soul-Nurturing Jade.
Medicine Elder quietly extended a wisp of his soul to sense Xiao Yan's state.
When he saw those streaks of crimson flame on Xiao Yan's skin, he couldn't help but sigh to himself:
"This brat... truly has monstrous talent."
"A fifteen-year-old Dou Huang—I fear few would believe it if word got out."
He had lived for the better part of a lifetime and seen countless geniuses and monsters, yet he had never seen anything so absurd.
Breaking through to Dou Wang without a cultivation technique.
Refining a Heavenly Flame to soar directly to Dou Huang.
If those old fogies who had spent decades of bitter cultivation just to reach Dou Huang found out, they would likely cough up blood in frustration.
"However—"
A complex look flashed in Medicine Elder's eyes.
"The stronger this brat becomes, the greater the hope for my revenge."
He sighed softly, retracted his soul, and continued his quiet meditation within the Soul-Nurturing Jade.
This Myriad Dao Soul-Nurturing Jade was truly a supreme treasure; in just a short time, his soul had already solidified significantly.
At the same time.
In a patch of shadow somewhere in the Xiao Family courtyard.
A black figure emerged silently.
It was Ling Ying.
He stood in the darkness, his gaze fixed on the direction of Xiao Yan's room, his brows tightly locked.
Just moments ago, when Xiao Zhan emerged from Xiao Yan's room, that expression...
He had seen it clearly.
Xiao Zhan's face was glowing, a smile played on his lips, his steps were light, and he was even humming a little tune.
That appearance was clearly one of a man in excellent spirits.
"Xiao Zhan is so happy..."
Ling Ying muttered to himself.
"It's completely different from his usual gloomy look."
In the past, because of Xiao Yan's regressing cultivation, Xiao Zhan had been perpetually frowning and depressed.
But today—
"Could it be that Xiao Yan has truly become a Dou Wang?"
A look of shock and suspicion flashed in Ling Ying's eyes.
Although the young miss had already told him about this, he had always harbored a sliver of doubt in his heart.
After all, it was simply too outrageous!
A fifteen-year-old Dou Wang—even across the entire continent, that was a rarity among rarities!
That brat Xiao Yan, how could it be?
Driven by curiosity, Ling Ying decided to investigate personally.
He took a deep breath and quietly released a wisp of soul power, probing toward Xiao Yan's room.
However—
The moment his soul power touched the perimeter of Xiao Yan's room!
Hum!
A strange and powerful force suddenly emerged!
The force was formless and intangible, yet undeniably real, like an invisible giant net shrouding the entire room tightly.
The wisp of soul power Ling Ying had released—
Was swallowed up instantly upon contact!
Not even a trace remained!
"What?!"
Ling Ying's pupils constricted sharply, his expression changing drastically.
That strange force was enough to make even a Dou Huang expert like him feel a sense of dread!
"This..."
Ling Ying instinctively took half a step back, his eyes filled with shock.
Although the wisp of soul power he had released was weak, it was still the soul power of a Dou Huang expert!
Ordinary defensive measures could never have swallowed it so easily!
What's more—
The feeling that force gave him was strange and powerful, as if... as if it were a power that simply shouldn't exist at this level!
