Xiao Zhan's Excitement!

At that moment, three Red Treasure Chests appeared before him in the system interface, and he immediately claimed their rewards.

[The host opened three Red Treasure Chests and received the following rewards!]

[The host gained 35 Agility attribute points.]

[The host's strength increased and has now advanced to Five-Star Grand Dou Shi.]

[The host gained 34 Stamina attribute points.]

After claiming the rewards from the three Red Treasure Chests, Xiao Ze's lips slowly curved upward.

He had just advanced to the realm of Five-Star Grand Dou Shi, rising another level from his previous Four-Star Grand Dou Shi!

If the people of the Xiao Family, especially his father Xiao Zhan, found out, they would surely be even more thrilled and excited!

After raising his strength, Xiao Ze looked at Xiao Yan before him.

Xiao Yan was exceptionally excited and thrilled, still grateful to Xiao Ze for helping him advance to Dou Zhe just now.

"Fourth Brother, thank you so much for what happened just now. Otherwise, I would still be stuck at the ninth stage of Dou Qi!"

"It's nothing. We're brothers; it's what I should do." Xiao Ze smiled and patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder.

Xiao Yan was deeply moved for a moment. Half an hour later, he left and returned to the Xiao Family's inner courtyard.

When he saw Xiao Zhan walking toward him, Xiao Yan took the initiative to greet his father warmly.

Xiao Zhan was quite surprised. He could not remember the last time he had seen such a smile on Xiao Yan's face.

At once, Xiao Zhan thought of a possibility and said, "Yan'er, you seem to be in an exceptionally good mood today. What is it? Did your strength break through?"

"That's right! Father really does know me well!" Xiao Yan said with a hearty laugh.

"Of course. Ever since your strength began to decline three years ago, I had never seen a smile on your face again!"

As Xiao Zhan spoke, he grew somewhat dejected. He only hated that he lacked the ability and strength; otherwise, he might have long since helped Xiao Yan find the reason behind his declining Dou Qi.

Then Xiao Yan would not still be suffering, nor would he have endured the humiliation within the family after Nalan Yanran came to annul the engagement.

Xiao Zhan felt somewhat guilty as well. He sighed inwardly, feeling that he had not fulfilled his duties and responsibilities as a father.

Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Zhan and said, "Father! Since you've asked, I'll tell you. I've now advanced to Dou Zhe!"

"What? You've already advanced to Dou Zhe?" Xiao Zhan was greatly shocked. Three years ago, Xiao Yan's cultivation talent had been extraordinary, and his progress had been astonishing enough to set records. Yet now that he had started cultivating again, he had re-entered the Dou Zhe realm in such a short time. It truly caught Xiao Zhan by surprise!

Moreover, even after reaching the ninth stage of Dou Qi, advancing to Dou Zhe was no easy matter!

"Yan'er, I never expected you to condense your Dou Qi vortex so smoothly and advance to Dou Zhe. Could Ze'er have helped you?" Xiao Zhan immediately guessed at a possibility.

"That's right. I was able to advance to Dou Zhe thanks to the Qi Gathering Powder Fourth Brother gave me!" Xiao Yan immediately replied. Seeing that the two brothers were so close, and that Xiao Ze had even helped Xiao Yan raise his strength and advance to Dou Zhe—

Xiao Zhan was deeply gratified. He smiled in satisfaction. "Good, good, good! Seeing how close you two brothers are truly puts Father at ease!"

After chatting with Xiao Yan for a while and patting him on the shoulder, Xiao Zhan looked at him and said, "In any case, Yan'er, the Xiao Family now has not only Father, but also your younger brother Xiao Ze!"

"You have been in seclusion cultivating these past few days. Now, everyone in the Jia Ma Empire, including the royal family, thinks highly of your younger brother Xiao Ze. They even want to invite him to visit the Gama Royal Family!"

Seeing that his younger brother Xiao Ze had achieved so much and earned the respect of the Gama Empire Royal Family, Xiao Yan was extremely envious, but he was also sincerely happy for him.

Seeing his younger brother become so accomplished, he, as the older brother, was naturally excited as well.

After leaving, Xiao Zhan headed directly for the Xiao Family's Back Mountain. He knew that Xiao Ze would definitely be cultivating there at this time.

When he arrived, Yao Chen had just emerged from the ring and sensed that Xiao Ze's Dou Qi strength had already advanced to Five-Star Grand Dou Shi.

Yao Chen was greatly surprised. "Little fellow, I never expected your current strength to have already reached Five-Star Grand Dou Shi!"

"To be honest, your cultivation speed during this period has truly surprised me, your master!"

"To produce a genius like you in a small place like Wutan City truly gratifies me! I dare say that those powerful experts from the top families of the Douqi Continent, if they did not rely on their families' resources and bloodline backgrounds, would absolutely not compare to you in talent alone!"

Yao Chen was incredibly excited. He had never expected that, in his current half-dead state, he would still be able to take in such a gifted student.

His life had not been in vain!

As Yao Chen thought this, his gaze and attention fell upon Xiao Zhan, who was walking over.

He immediately slipped back into the ring.

"Your father is here! I'll return to the Storage Ring first, so your father doesn't discover my existence." Yao Chen spoke at once, then vanished.

Seeing his father approach, Xiao Ze turned his gaze toward him.

Xiao Zhan looked at him and said, "Ze'er, I knew you would be cultivating here!"

"What's wrong, Father? Is something the matter?" Xiao Ze looked at him.

Xiao Zhan replied, "Ze'er, Elder Jia Xingtian, the royal guardian of the Jia Ma Empire, is currently in our Xiao Family's main hall. He wishes to see you."

"Come with me," Xiao Zhan said.

As Xiao Zhan turned, he sensed the Dou Qi energy radiating from Xiao Ze's body after his recent cultivation.

As he turned away, Xiao Zhan suddenly felt that something was off. His expression immediately changed to one of shock as he looked at Xiao Ze and said, "Ze'er... you've advanced again? Five-Star Grand Dou Shi?"

Sensing Xiao Zhan's shocked gaze and expression, Xiao Ze's lips lifted slightly, revealing a slow smile.

The System Panel immediately appeared before him.

[New mission: Reveal your Five-Star Grand Dou Shi strength, shock Xiao Zhan with your increased strength once again, and receive one random draw!]

[Next mission: Reveal your Five-Star Grand Dou Shi strength, shocking the Xiao Family elders and making them marvel at your cultivation speed.]

Xiao Ze accepted both missions released by the System Panel, then began to reveal his strength. Moments later, Xiao Zhan's expression turned utterly shocked!
