Having obtained the Flight Dou Technique, Purple Cloud Wings, Xiao Ze could now be considered to have gained the ability to fly ahead of schedule.
At this moment, his attention was fixed on the system panel, and he was extremely satisfied as he looked at the rewards he had just received.
Nalan Yanran, on the other hand, never imagined that she would be defeated, and defeated so thoroughly at that.
Elder Ge Ye, standing to the side, was even more shocked.
Was it not said that this boy from the Xiao Family only possessed the strength of a first-stage Dou Qi?
Recently, although he had heard that his Dou Qi cultivation had surged through accumulation, he was still only a Dou Practitioner.
When did he enter the Dou Shi realm? And to think he had actually defeated Yanran.
This matter was no small affair; he must report it to the Sect Master upon his return.
As the largest sect in the Jia Ma Empire, the Misty Cloud Sect had recruited many disciples over the years, but a disciple with such high talent as Xiao Ze simply did not exist.
If such a young man could be put to use by their Misty Cloud Sect, it would be wonderful indeed.
Perhaps in the future, it was even possible to cultivate him into a powerhouse at the Dou Emperor level.
The moment Nalan Yanran was defeated, her heart was filled with endless curiosity.
Why did this Xiao Ze possess such high Dou Qi cultivation? In just over a month, what exactly had he done?
Why had his strength improved and progressed so significantly?
She had spent so many years in the Misty Cloud Sect, training diligently and consuming many medicinal pills refined by Master Gu He, yet she had not progressed this quickly.
Furthermore, as brothers in the same Xiao Family, why was the gap between him and Xiao Yan so vast?
Nalan Yanran was a woman who greatly admired the strong.
Or rather, on the entire Douqi Continent, everyone was like this; only when one's strength was sufficient could one earn the respect of others.
"Xiao Ze, you are actually at the Dou Shi realm." Nalan Yanran was now filled with nothing but curiosity and admiration for Xiao Ze; she had not expected him to be so young and yet so strong.
If the person who had been betrothed to her in the beginning had been Xiao Ze.
Then, for Nalan Yanran, that might not have been a bad thing; perhaps she would not have gone out of her way to visit and break off the engagement.
Only a genius like Xiao Ze was qualified to be her future husband and would not cause her to lose face.
After defeating Nalan Yanran, Xiao Ze said indifferently.
"Since the sparring has ended, Miss Nalan, let us meet again if fate allows. I shall take my leave."
After speaking, he looked back at Xiao Xun'er. "Let's go, Xun'er."
"Yes, Brother Xiao Ze."
Before leaving, Xiao Xun'er considered a certain possibility: she hoped that this Nalan Yanran would not harbor any thoughts of revenge for being defeated by Brother Xiao Ze.
Otherwise, she would certainly make her pay a very heavy price.
Thus, at this moment, Xiao Xun'er turned around and looked at Nalan Yanran.
"Do not harbor any resentment because you lost to Brother Xiao Ze. The Misty Cloud Sect may be strong, but the Douqi Continent is vast, and there are many people more formidable than Yun Yun."
As Xiao Xun'er warned her, golden flames flashed in her eyes, the warning clear and sharp.
Elder Ge Ye seemed to have realized a certain possibility and immediately fled in a panic, taking Nalan Yanran away from Wutan City.
Upon returning to the Misty Cloud Sect, Nalan Yanran recalled the events in Wutan City and still found them unbelievable.
She had not expected that a small place like Wutan City could produce such an outstanding genius as Xiao Ze.
A thought occurred to Nalan Yanran: if someone like Xiao Ze could be made to join the Misty Cloud Sect, it would surely strengthen the sect.
In the future, under the cultivation of the Misty Cloud Sect, Xiao Ze's potential might be even greater.
Although Nalan Yanran had lost to Xiao Ze, she was not someone who could not accept defeat, nor would she harbor hatred because of it.
On the contrary, she had developed an admiration for him!
A Dou Shi this young was something she had never heard of in the entire Jia Ma Empire.
Back at the Misty Cloud Sect, she met with the various elders. "Where is my teacher? Has she not returned from her travels yet?"
"The Sect Master has gone to the Magic Beast Mountain Range; it is estimated that it will take some time before she returns."
"Then I shall explain the situation in Wutan City to her once she returns," Nalan Yanran said.
At this moment, in the Magic Beast Mountain Range, a woman in black robes stood among the mountains.
Although Yun Yun had not agreed to let Nalan Yanran go to the Xiao Family in Wutan City to break off the engagement, Nalan Yanran had insisted. Yun Yun, who had always doted on her, could not stop her; she had been spoiled by her, and it was inevitable that she would be willful.
Although she was far away at the Misty Cloud Sect, the news of Nalan Yanran going to the Xiao Family to break off the engagement had already caused a sensation.
As a transcendent power in the Jia Ma Empire, news from the Misty Cloud Sect naturally spread quickly.
In order to help Nalan Yanran defeat Xiao Yan in three years, she had come to the Magic Beast Mountain Range.
She wanted to see if she could find the Purple Spirit Crystal to help Nalan Yanran improve her cultivation.
This was an item belonging to the Amethyst Winged Lion King, who possessed the strength of a Dou Emperor; obtaining it would be no easy task.
After all, Yun Yun's current strength was merely that of a Dou Emperor.
Inside the inner courtyard of the Xiao Family, several hours had passed.
It had stirred up quite a bit of heated discussion and commotion.
"What? Nalan Yanran, who broke off her engagement with Xiao Yan, fought Xiao Ze? And she was actually defeated by Xiao Ze?"
"Xiao Ze possesses the strength of a one-star Dou Shi?"
"Is this... is this for real?"
However, once the talk within the Xiao Family reached Xiao Zhan's ears, he stood stunned, thinking he had misheard.
He never imagined his youngest son would have such formidable ability, not only defeating Nalan Yanran, whom the Misty Cloud Sect had painstakingly cultivated.
Moreover, he actually possessed the strength of a Dou Shi; was this really true?
Even as his father, Xiao Zhan found it somewhat hard to believe. Just a short while ago, hadn't Xiao Ze only just entered the Dou Practitioner realm?
How much time had passed since then? How could he have advanced to a Dou Shi so quickly?
This... was it real or fake? For a moment, Xiao Zhan found it difficult to tell.
"Impossible!" The several elders of the family, beyond shocked, were all questioning it one after another.
If one were to say Xiao Ze defeated Nalan Yanran, that might be one thing, but advancing to a Dou Shi—how could that be possible?
Xiao Ze arrived in the main hall.
Seeing the skeptical gazes and expressions of the elders, Xiao Ze remained indifferent.
You don't believe it, do you?
Xiao Ze loved this kind of feeling and scene where he could slap faces in person.
As it happened, the system panel had just issued a mission, and upon completion, there would be rewards to claim.
[Current Mission: The family elders do not believe you possess the realm of a Dou Shi. Reveal your strength.]
[Mission Reward: Heavenly Fire Three Mysterious Transformations, First Transformation Dou Technique.]
