Heh heh heh, congratulations to the Host for making Xiao Yan feel ashamed of his own inferiority with an invincible posture!

In short!

At this moment, the entire Xiao Family plaza was eerily silent; one could hear a pin drop.

Everyone in the Xiao Family was stunned by Xiao Yan's strength, their minds blank, feeling as if they were in a dream.

Not to mention the others.

Even Xiao Yan himself was taken aback for a moment.

He hadn't expected the power of a full-force strike from a Dou Wang to spiral out of control to this extent.

Not only did it shatter the Test Magic Stone Stele, but it also triggered the manifestation of Dou Qi wings.

With this—

His cultivation at the Dou Wang realm was now completely confirmed; even if he wanted to hide it, it was no longer possible.

However...

He hadn't intended to hide it in the first place, so it didn't really matter.

At the very least, looking at the shocked expressions of the Xiao Family members around him, he felt quite satisfied.

After a pause.

Xiao Yan moved his thoughts, and the Dou Qi wings on his back flapped slowly.

His body lifted off the ground, hovering three feet in the air.

At this moment—

The youth's black robes fluttered, his Dou Qi wings spread wide, appearing like a god descended from the heavens.

"Hiss..."

Gasps of cold air rose and fell, one after another, filling the air.

Flying through the air!

Dou Wang realm, absolutely certain!

With this, no one in the Xiao Family dared to question Xiao Yan's cultivation any longer!

[Ding--]

The system's notification sound exploded in Xiao Yan's mind, carrying an almost ecstatic fervor:

[Host, well done!!!]

[With an unrivaled posture, you shattered the stele with one palm and manifested Dou Qi wings, displaying the cultivation of a Dou Wang and completely shocking the entire crowd!]

[The members of the Xiao Family are all shaken to their cores, terrified by the host's monstrous talent!]

[That destined protagonist Xiao Yan, seeing the host is of the same age yet possesses such heaven-defying cultivation, has had his Dao heart severely damaged. Filled with shame and anger, he feels far inferior to the host! Destiny Luck Value -100!]

[You've won big! The host has won big!]

[Task completion rating: SSS!]

[Rewards distributed: Obtained the supreme villain treasure—"Ten Thousand Soul Banner"! Obtained Super Villain Points +666! Obtained Luck Value +100!]

[Extra reward: Due to the host's outstanding performance, an additional special physique has been awarded—"Innate Great Sun Sacred Body"!]

"???"

"This actually counts as completing the mission? I'm suppressing myself?"

The corners of Xiao Yan's mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.

System, oh system, as long as you're happy.

However...

Feeling the boundless Dou Qi within his body.

Having such a bug in the system didn't seem so bad, did it?

Subsequently.

Xiao Yan slowly landed, the Dou Qi wings on his back dissipating into a wisp of fire.

His gaze swept calmly across the entire scene.

Those faces, once dull, shocked, and incredulous, were now filled with fear and awe. Especially those who had just mocked Xiao Yan, they were trembling with fright.

In front of a Dou Wang, they had absolutely no courage to resist.

"As you all can see..."

Xiao Yan spoke slowly, his voice not loud, yet it clearly reached every corner.

"I, Xiao Yan—"

"Recently obtained a fortuitous encounter and luckily broke through to the Dou Wang realm!"

After finishing his sentence.

Xiao Yan's gaze swept intentionally or unintentionally over the group of people who had just mocked him.

Swish...

Suddenly!

The clansmen who had once mocked Xiao Yan saw their faces turn from pale to red, then from red to green, until they finally lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.

Recalling how they had just been ridiculing Xiao Yan as "trash," they now wished they could crawl into a hole in the ground.

That was a Dou Wang!

A supreme realm they would likely never touch in their entire lives!

"Yan... Yan'er!"

Xiao Zhan finally snapped out of his daze, rushing over to Xiao Yan and gripping his shoulders with trembling hands.

"Your... your cultivation... what is going on here?"

Xiao Yan looked at this man who was his father in name, seeing the excitement and joy practically overflowing from his face, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Father!"

He said in a low voice, "I will explain some things to you later."

"For now... let's deal with the Test Magic Stone Stele."

Xiao Zhan nodded heavily, his tiger-like eyes brimming with tears, "Good, good! It's enough that you've returned!"

He didn't care at all about what secrets or fortuitous encounters his son might have had.

He only cared that from this moment on, his Yan'er would no longer be the trash that anyone could bully or mock!

His genius Yan'er had returned!

And even—

He was even more monstrous than he had been three years ago!

[Ding--]

[Congratulations to the Host for using your peerless talent to gain the trust of the Xiao Family Head, Xiao Zhan, who has accepted you as his foster son, leaving the protagonist Xiao Yan feeling stifled yet helpless! Plundered Luck +10!]

[Hehehe...]

[Host, this move unintentionally suppressed the protagonist of this world while further securing the trust of the Xiao Family. Truly a masterful stroke!]

[Obtained Super Great Villain Points +100!]

This works too?

Xiao Yan shook his head inwardly; as long as the system was happy, it was fine.

"Great Elder."

Xiao Yan turned toward the high platform, his tone calm, "The Test Magic Stone Stele was destroyed because of me; I will compensate for it."

Hearing this, the Great Elder opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found his throat dry and couldn't utter a single word.

Compensation?

What was the value of a single Test Magic Stone Stele?

A Dou Wang!

You are a Dou Wang!

If news of a fifteen-year-old Dou Wang were to spread, it wouldn't just shake Wutan City—it would shake the entire Gama Empire to its core!

"Yan... Young Master Yan..."

"No... no need for compensation!"

The Great Elder's voice was hoarse, his gaze incredibly complex, yet he couldn't help but ask with a hint of awe, "When... when exactly did you break through to become a Dou Wang?"

He even used honorifics for Xiao Yan, a Dou Wang.

After all—

Even if he racked his brains, he couldn't imagine what level a fifteen-year-old Dou Wang would elevate the entire Xiao Family to in the future...

It was no exaggeration to say that Xiao Yan was now the god of the Xiao Family, the future of the Xiao Family!

Facing the Great Elder's question, Xiao Yan simply smiled without answering.

He couldn't exactly tell the man that the system had directly boosted him to the Dou Wang realm.

"Great Elder, you... talk too much."

Xiao Zhan frowned, casting a cold glance at him.

Seeing this reaction from Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhan, the Great Elder realized instantly that he had been presumptuous; the secret that allowed Xiao Yan to reach the Dou Wang realm at fifteen was certainly not something someone of his standing was qualified to know.

And so.

The First Elder of the Xiao Family took a deep breath and hurriedly cupped his hands, saying, "Patriarch, please forgive my rudeness!"

From this moment on, he no longer had any intention of vying for the position of Patriarch.

Xiao Zhan let out a cold snort; after all, they were of the same clan, so he would not hold it against him too severely.

Glancing at the rubble on the ground, Xiao Zhan's booming voice slowly rang out.

"Because the Test Magic Stone Stele has been damaged, today's test ends here!"

"All members of the Xiao Family are forbidden from spreading word of what was seen today!"

"Those who violate this will be dealt with according to clan rules!"

The Xiao Family producing a fifteen-year-old Dou Wang was simply too shocking; it had to be kept under wraps for the time being.

Otherwise, the Xiao Family would likely face trouble.

He paused for a moment.

Xiao Zhan's gaze swept across the crowd like lightning: "Now, disperse!"

The crowd began to scatter, but as each person left, they could not help but look back at the youth in black.

Their expressions were complex.

Awe, fear, jealousy, envy...

How could a piece of trash with only the third stage of Dou Zhi Qi inexplicably become a Dou Wang?

Xiao Yan ignored those gazes and turned to walk toward his small courtyard. Today's events had been too sudden, and he intended to sort things out.

Unexpectedly—

Xiao Xun'er quickened her pace to catch up.

"Brother Xiao Yan..."

She called out softly.

"Are... are you really a Dou Wang?"
