The Xiao Family's Twin Prodigies

"Dou Zhe, One Star!"

Looking at the four glowing words on the Testing Magic Stone Tablet, the handsome young man in white, with sword-like brows, bright eyes, and an imposing bearing, could not help but curl his lips into a faint smile.

"Xiao Feng, Dou Zhe, One Star!!!"

The middle-aged man presiding over the testing ceremony was the first to recover from his shock. He could not help but shout excitedly, "The young clan leader has tested at One-Star Dou Zhe!"

"As expected of Cousin Xiao Feng!"

"I told you all already! Cousin Xiao Feng was at Dou Qi Stage Nine half a year ago. He must have broken through to Dou Zhe in this test."

"The young clan leader is awesome..."

Amid the envious and admiring discussions, Xiao Feng unhurriedly stepped down from the Testing Platform and made his way to the center of the crowd.

Xiao Xun'er, dressed in a long green gown, carried herself with a cool elegance, like a Green Lotus just beginning to bloom. Blinking her beautiful, autumn-water eyes, she approached him with a smiling gaze. "Brother Feng really is amazing. You've already broken through to Dou Zhe. Xun'er is truly ashamed of herself by comparison~"

"You little girl, why do I feel like you're making fun of me?"

Xiao Feng shook his head with an amused smile and gently scraped the tip of Xiao Xun'er's nose with his index finger.

If Xiao Feng had been an ordinary person, he might have believed Xiao Xun'er's words. However, he was a transmigrator from Blue Star.

Web novels were extremely popular in the world Xiao Feng had come from, so he had read the power fantasy novel called "Doupo Cangqiong."

Although the long-haired girl before him possessed exceptional looks and temperament, and shared the surname Xiao with him, her true identity was the young lady of the Gu Clan. Her real name was Gu Xun'er.

According to the original plot, Xiao Xun'er should have broken through to Dou Zhe long ago. She had merely deliberately concealed her cultivation so as not to draw attention to herself!

Compared to those delicate little fairies who got depressed at the drop of a hat, a refined young lady like Xiao Xun'er, who could grace a hall and manage a kitchen, was the perfect choice for a virtuous wife and loving mother.

That was precisely why Xiao Feng had disregarded brotherly loyalty and snatched away his own younger brother's officially paired female lead ahead of time.

That's right!

Xiao Feng and the original protagonist, Xiao Yan, were twins born to the same mother, and he had been born half an hour before Xiao Yan.

Seeing how intimate Xiao Feng and Xiao Xun'er were, everyone present felt nothing but envy. Not a trace of jealousy rose in their hearts.

"Cousin Xiao Feng and Cousin Xun'er really are a match made in heaven!"

"Exactly! They're childhood sweethearts, talented and beautiful, and both have such high cultivation talent."

"They're really so enviable..."

Just as everyone was enthusiastically shipping Xiao Feng and Xiao Xun'er, the middle-aged man presiding over the ceremony announced loudly, "Next, Xiao Yan!"

"..."

The moment the middle-aged man finished speaking, the entire square fell silent. Every gaze shifted to the black-clad youth who looked ninety percent similar to Xiao Feng.

Facing everyone's stares, Xiao Yan, who had been hiding in a corner, awkwardly rubbed his nose and revealed a helpless, bitter smile. Then, as though marching to his death, he walked onto the Testing Platform.

"Dou Qi Power, Three Stages!"

When Xiao Yan pressed his hand against the Testing Magic Stone Tablet, five words that seemed full of mockery swiftly appeared upon it.

Though Xiao Yan had been prepared for it, he still could not help clenching his fists. His nails dug deeply into his flesh, sending piercing pain through his palms.

The middle-aged man sighed softly before announcing expressionlessly, "Xiao Yan, Dou Qi Power, Three Stages! Rank: Low!"

"As expected, he's still at Dou Qi Stage Three!"

"Ah~ How did that genius youth, once renowned throughout Wutan City, end up in such a sorry state?"

"Cousin Xiao Yan's cultivation talent used to be even better than Cousin Xiao Feng's. What a pity—the Xiao Family's twin prodigies of old have now..."

Because Xiao Feng was protecting him, even those who were dissatisfied with Xiao Yan did not dare mock him openly. Most merely felt regret for him.

The sounds of regretful sighs around him entered Xiao Yan's ears like sharp blades, stabbing viciously into his heart.

Sometimes, other people's sympathy could make one feel even more despairing than cruel words.

"Ding! It has been detected that the plot has officially begun. The Merit Simulator has been activated!"

Hearing the emotionless mechanical notification suddenly ring out in his mind, Xiao Feng's pupils abruptly contracted.

In his previous life, Xiao Feng had at least been a veteran reader on Qidian and had read plenty of transmigration novels. He instantly understood what had happened.

His golden finger had finally come online!

In truth, Xiao Feng had once suspected that he possessed some kind of cheat, but he had never managed to discover its existence.

He was already fifteen years old and had long given up on the idea of having a cheat. Yet he had never expected it to suddenly appear on its own.

Although Xiao Feng was incredibly excited, to avoid letting outsiders notice anything unusual, he forcibly suppressed the urge to study his cheat immediately. He planned to take his time examining it after returning to his bedroom.

As Xiao Yan stepped down from the Testing Platform, he noticed Xiao Feng's strange expression, as though he were holding something back, and could not help revealing a bitter smile.

I'm such a useless piece of trash. I've disappointed Brother again!

Both Xiao Yan and Xiao Feng had begun cultivating at the age of four. The cultivation talent Xiao Yan displayed had even far surpassed that of his elder brother, Xiao Feng.

At ten, Xiao Yan had reached Dou Qi Stage Nine. At eleven, he broke through to Dou Qi Stage Ten, successfully condensed a Dou Qi Vortex, and became the youngest Dou Zhe in the family's century-long history!

At that time, Xiao Feng's cultivation had only reached Dou Qi Stage Seven, and everyone believed Xiao Yan would become the Xiao Family's next clan leader.

Xiao Yan had thought the same. Moreover, he had always felt that Xiao Feng had only been born half an hour before him, so what gave him the right to constantly act like an older brother and lecture him?

If Xiao Feng had not tattled on him back then, Xiao Yan would not have been hung up and beaten by the terrified Xiao Zhan for trying to sneak into Xiao Xun'er's bedroom.

Unfortunately, storms could arise without warning, and fortune and misfortune could arrive overnight!

Perhaps a genius's path was always destined to be fraught with twists and turns. Three years ago, the Dou Qi Vortex in Xiao Yan's body had suddenly vanished mysteriously. The Dou Qi within him also gradually dwindled with the passing of time, eventually stopping at Dou Qi Stage Three.

Originally, Xiao Yan had thought Xiao Feng would gloat over his misfortune, or even take the chance to kick him while he was down.

After all, once Xiao Yan lost his cultivation talent, Xiao Feng became the greatest beneficiary. The position of Xiao Family clan leader would surely belong to him in the future.

However, what Xiao Yan had not expected was that Xiao Feng not only refrained from kicking him while he was down, but instead treated him with great care.

Xiao Feng had not only beaten up every clan member who dared mock Xiao Yan, but had also secretly transferred part of his cultivation resources to him.
