"Four-Star Grand Dou Shi?" After sensing the formidable strength of Xiao Ze's Dou Qi, the Xiao Family elders determined that he had already advanced to the level of a Four-Star Grand Dou Shi!
That was a full two stars above the Two-Star Grand Dou Shi Xiao Zhan had just mentioned!
"Patriarch, didn't you just say that Xiao Ze was only a Two-Star Grand Dou Shi? How had he suddenly reached the Four-Star realm?"
Several elders asked in extreme confusion.
Forget them—even Xiao Zhan himself found it somewhat unbelievable!
Even if his son Xiao Ze possessed exceptional talent and cultivated at an astonishing speed, he should not have been able to raise his strength by two entire stars in just a few days!
After reaching the Da Dou Shi realm, further advancement became extremely difficult!
How had Xiao Ze managed to reach the Four-Star Grand Dou Shi level in only a few days?
"As expected of my son!" Xiao Zhan was immensely excited, though he had no idea how Xiao Ze had done it.
Still, the increase in strength was an undeniable fact before his eyes!
Besides, he recalled the cultivation technique Xiao Ze had previously given him, as well as how Xiao Ze had helped him raise his strength by a full star!
Most importantly, Xiao Ze had produced a Tier 6 Medicinal Pill, the Imperial Extreme Pill, causing a sensation throughout the Jia Ma Empire!
Compared to that, reaching the Four-Star Grand Dou Shi level was nothing too surprising!
Xiao Zhan was extremely excited!
"I never expected my son, Xiao Zhan's son, to be so outstanding! Good, good, good! Excellent!" Xiao Zhan was so excited that words failed him. He had always believed that among his sons, Xiao Yan would be the most promising one.
Yet unexpectedly, it was his youngest son who was the most outstanding!
Xiao Ze looked at the system panel, where several lines of text appeared before him!
[Current mission: Display the strength of a Four-Star Grand Dou Shi and earn the Xiao Family elders' shock and recognition.] [Mission reward: Three Red Treasure Chests.] [Current mission completed. The host has received the reward: Three Red Treasure Chests have been added to the panel.]
Xiao Ze opened the system inventory and saw three red treasure chests inside. Without another word, he immediately drew from them!
[The host has opened three Red Treasure Chests and drawn the following rewards!] [The host's strength has increased. The host's current realm has reached Five-Star Grand Dou Shi!] [The host's soul power has permanently increased by 15 points!] [The host's agility attribute has increased by 30 points!]
After claiming the three Red Treasure Chests, Xiao Ze's strength had already risen to Five-Star Grand Dou Shi!
The strongest person in the Xiao Family was currently Xiao Zhan, the patriarch. If not for Xiao Ze's medicinal pill, he would still only be a Five-Star Grand Dou Shi.
But their ages were different. Xiao Zhan was already advanced in years, while Xiao Ze was only in his teens.
Yet he had already entered the Five-Star Grand Dou Shi realm!
He had left Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran, his peers, far behind!
After seeing the strength Xiao Ze had just displayed, the Xiao Family elders had nothing more to say!
They even declared one after another, "From now on, if anyone in the Xiao Family dares to defy Xiao Ze, I, the Great Elder, will be the first to object!"
"That's right, and I'm no exception!" The other elders nodded in agreement as well.
From that moment on, the elders were completely convinced by Xiao Ze!
It was not only because Xiao Ze could produce a Tier 6 Medicinal Pill, the Imperial Extreme Pill, causing a sensation throughout the Jia Ma Empire, but also because they had heard that Jia Xingtian had used it to break through to the Dou Zong realm!
Who did not know that Jia Xingtian had long been wary of the Misty Cloud Sect and other sects growing stronger?
He was deeply worried that their forces would continue expanding until they spiraled out of control and threatened the existence of the Gama Empire Royal Family!
To mediate their relationships and maintain a state of balance, Jia Xingtian had put in tremendous effort over the years!
But there had been no obvious results!
Now, however, things were different! He was now a Dou Zong powerhouse!
Therefore, Jia Xingtian was deeply grateful to Xiao Ze. If not for him, Jia Xingtian would never have advanced to the Dou Zong realm, and the threat to the royal family would still remain!
Because of this, Jia Xingtian had specifically conveyed and emphasized to Xiao Zhan, both as the patriarch and Xiao Ze's father, how highly the Gama Empire Royal Family regarded Xiao Ze!
Jia Xingtian planned to return to the Imperial Capital. Once he came back in three days, he would formally invite Xiao Ze to visit the royal family as a guest!
Apart from the Gama Empire Royal Family's high regard, Xiao Ze's own strength had also reached the Four-Star Grand Dou Shi level!
The elders who had once looked down on Xiao Ze and Xiao Yan immediately fell silent, and even became respectful and admiring!
Compared with Xiao Ze's talent, their grandsons were truly worthless!
After leaving the Xiao Family's main hall, Xiao Ze left the family grounds and arrived at the clan square!
At that moment, Xiao Ning, who had always been at odds with Xiao Ze, took a detour the moment he saw him.
Normally, whenever he saw Xiao Ze and Xiao Yan, the two brothers, he would definitely step forward and mock them.
But now, he detoured in disgrace without even daring to raise his head. In the Xiao Family, he might still be able to provoke Xiao Yan, but he absolutely could not afford to provoke Xiao Ze!
He even prayed inwardly that Xiao Ze would simply overlook him and not take him seriously.
What he feared most now was Xiao Ze's retaliation.
After arriving at the clan square, Xiao Ze saw Xiao Xun'er cultivating there. When she saw him approach, she stopped her training.
She smiled faintly, a gentle smile appearing on her face.
Then, with graceful steps, she walked over to Xiao Ze. Looking at him, she said in immense surprise,
"Brother Xiao Ze, Xun'er has heard that the Tier 6 Medicinal Pill sold at the Mittel Auction House today, the Imperial Extreme Pill, can help a Dou Emperor powerhouse raise their strength by one star. You provided that pill, didn't you?"
Beyond her surprise, Xiao Xun'er was deeply puzzled.
"A Tier 6 Medicinal Pill would be considered an extremely precious treasure even among many factions in the Central Plains!"
"How could Brother Xiao Ze possess such a high-tier medicinal pill?"
"And it was even the Imperial Extreme Pill, capable of directly raising a Dou Emperor powerhouse by one star!" Xiao Xun'er was filled with confusion.
She looked at Xiao Ze with a puzzled expression, her eyes full of shock and curiosity!
Xiao Ze did not explain much. A few hours later, as evening fell, Xiao Xun'er arrived at a certain place.
Standing in the darkness, Xiao Xun'er looked toward a certain direction and slowly spoke.
"Elder Ling, come out! There is something I want to ask you. Please help me investigate it!"
"Young Miss! What are your orders?" Ling Ying appeared before Xiao Xun'er and said as he knelt on one knee.
