In Wutan City, a bustling inn was filled with the roar of voices and endless clamor.

The air was thick with the aroma of food and the sound of people's laughter.

A crowd sat huddled together, their gazes all focused on a young man in the center.

This man was Xiao Fan. Dressed in a simple green robe, he stood tall with a handsome face, sword-like brows, and star-bright eyes, a reckless smile hanging at the corner of his mouth. At this moment, he was spouting nonsense with great enthusiasm.

"In my past life, I was a Great Emperor. Back then, I stood alone against the ages, with the common people at my back, founding my own orthodoxy and suppressing the forbidden zones."

Xiao Fan's face remained indifferent.

"Back then, this Seat possessed the Innate Sacred Body Dao Fetus, naturally invincible in the flesh and in harmony with the Dao. My cultivation talent was peerless; I was born with the cultivation of a Fourth-Heaven Saint in the Sendai Realm, and it took me only five hundred years to prove my path and become an Emperor—the fastest to achieve enlightenment in recorded history!"

"Before I attained the Dao, I could catch Emperor-grade weapons with my bare hands. After becoming an Emperor, my combat power was unmatched. I once suppressed the seven great life forbidden zones single-handedly, intimidating the Heavenly Court and the Underworld, making the experts of ten thousand races dare not even raise their heads. My prestige made the Supremes of the forbidden zones tremble with fear."

"At the end of the Immortal Path, who stands at the peak? One glimpse of this Seat, and the Dao turns to void."

Great Emperor Xiao Fan stood with his hands behind his back in the center of the inn. His posture was imposing, his temperament extraordinary, as if the entire world were merely his backdrop.

He tilted his head slightly, his eyes deep and resolute, revealing an invincible confidence and dominance, as if everything in the world were under his control.

The surrounding audience was captivated by his words and posture, cheering repeatedly.

"Hahaha, Young Master Xiao tells it so brilliantly!"

A bearded man slammed the table and laughed, his eyes filled with excitement.

"Indeed, indeed! In this Wutan City, it's rare to find a storyteller as interesting as Young Master Xiao!"

An old man stroked his beard, nodding frequently with a satisfied smile on his face.

Among the crowd, some young people who had yet to see much of the world were deeply shaken by Xiao Fan's words, their eyes filled with worship and longing.

"Great Emperor Xiao Fan, I am willing to follow by your side!"

A young man shouted excitedly, his face flushed red, his hands clenched into tight fists, and his eyes flashing with a firm light.

"Great Emperor Xiao Fan, your deeds are truly worthy of admiration!"

Another young man chimed in with flattery, his eyes wide with reverence for Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan raised a hand to press the air, a faint smile on his face as he said, "Eh, calm down, calm down. This Seat has already returned to the mortal world; I am no longer a Great Emperor. Everyone, let's just interact normally."

In his heart, he felt secretly smug, yet he tried hard to maintain a calm expression.

The crowd burst into laughter again, and the inn was filled with a joyous atmosphere.

Some laughed until they doubled over, while others whispered to one another, discussing the legendary stories Xiao Fan had told.

[Ding! Your bragging has convinced some young people, gaining you 300 points.]

The mechanical voice of the system rang in Xiao Fan's mind. Xiao Fan nodded slightly, feeling very satisfied.

The corners of his mouth lifted involuntarily as he thought to himself, At this rate, my strength will soon be able to reach a higher level.

He was a transmigrator, and naturally, he had obtained the golden finger system that every transmigrator possessed.

This was a "Bragging System." As long as he bragged, the more people who believed him, the more system points he would receive. These points could be used to add stats; whether it was Dou Techniques or cultivation methods, he could upgrade them. Dou Techniques would increase in proficiency, and cultivation methods could be elevated in grade.

Xiao Fan took a leisurely sip of tea and cleared his throat, about to speak again to recount even more shocking "legendary experiences."

Just then, Xiao Yu walked in, her long, straight legs moving with grace.

She was lithe and beautiful, her willow brows slightly furrowed as she said, "Cousin Xiao Fan, the Clan Head is calling for you..."

Xiao Fan hurriedly cupped his hands to those around him, an apologetic look on his face as he said, "Everyone, I am truly sorry. Let's stop here for today; I will share more with you another day."

He then followed Xiao Yu toward the Xiao family estate.

On the way, they spotted a dejected-looking Xiao Yan.

Xiao Fan teased, "Why the long face, Xiao Yanzi? Come over and massage the legs and shoulders of the future Great Emperor Xiao Fan, and this Seat will take you to the ranks of the immortals."

Xiao Yan looked at him with resentment, thinking indignantly, This guy is too arrogant!

He wished he could give this guy a good beating.

They were both transmigrators, so why was this guy's strength increasing so rapidly?

He himself had been regressing for over two years, and he was only at the third stage of Dou Qi!

At this moment, the Clan Head, Xiao Zhan, approached. He wore a kind smile and asked Xiao Fan, "Xiao Fan, how have you been these days?"

His eyes were full of concern, and he didn't mention cultivation at all. After all, in his view, the strength Xiao Fan had displayed—a six-star Dou Zhe—was already quite outstanding.

Xiao Yu, however, felt he was failing to live up to expectations. With her hands on her hips, she said, "If Cousin Xiao Fan put his mind to cultivation, he might already be a Dou Shi!"

Xiao Fan smiled indifferently, thinking to himself, If I told you my strength is at the nine-star Dou Wang level, nearly a Dou Huang, wouldn't your jaws drop?

But on the surface, he remained calm and breezy.

Xiao Yu and Xiao Zhan exchanged a glance, and then Xiao Yu spoke, her voice uncharacteristically gentle: "Cousin Xiao Fan, if you come with me to Jianan Academy, your strength will surely improve even faster!"

Her eyes were filled with anticipation and sincerity. After all, she had heard that the talent Xiao Fan had displayed over the past two years was even greater than what Xiao Yan had shown back then, which was why she had specifically taken leave to return from Jianan Academy.

Xiao Fan waved his hand, his expression firm as he said, "Why would I, Great Emperor Xiao Fan, need to rely on such things? In this life, I don't need the help of others to return to the peak."

Xiao Yu shook her head helplessly, her brows furrowed as she said, "Cousin Xiao Fan, don't be too conceited. The resources at Jianan Academy are beyond what you can imagine."

Xiao Fan remained unmoved, his gaze firm. "Cousin, my mind is made up. You don't need to persuade me any further."

Xiao Zhan spoke up at this moment, "Enough, enough. Since Xiao Fan has his own ideas, we shouldn't force him."

A trace of helplessness crossed his face; clearly, he was already accustomed to this side of him.

Xiao Yu's charming face flushed with slight anger.

"Don't come crying to me with regrets later!"

The corners of Xiao Fan's mouth curled upward as he said with overflowing confidence, "Regret? Those two words don't exist in the dictionary of this Great Emperor."

With that, Xiao Fan turned and strode away, his robes fluttering, leaving Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yu to exchange bewildered glances.

Back in his room, Xiao Fan calculated in his heart, My current strength is still insufficient. I need to brag a bit more to earn points and improve myself.

"System..."

[Name]: Xiao Fan [Realm]: Nine-Star Dou Wang (2700/5000) [Cultivation Method]: Mad Lion Rage Aura (Earth Tier, Low Grade) [Skills]: Thousand Flame Sword Aura (High Proficiency), Great Wind Hand Seal (High Proficiency), Explosive Step (High Proficiency), etc. [Points]: 300

Very good. He was only two thousand bragging points away from breaking through to the Dou Huang realm.

When that time came, he, the Great Emperor Xiao Fan, could walk sideways across this Gama Empire.

Xiao Fan was very satisfied and prepared to seize the time to cultivate a little.

After all, cultivation could also reduce the consumption of points.

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

Knock, knock!

Xiao Fan closed his eyes slightly; he didn't need to look to know who it was.

"Come in..."
