The Xiao Family's Dou Qi Test Today!

Xiao Xun'er watched Xiao Ze as they walked along the streets of Wutan City, but after a long while, she suddenly slowed her pace.

Xiao Xun'er spoke slowly, her vermilion lips parting slightly, "Brother Xiao Ze, you are already a Five-Star Grand Dou Shi, while Xun'er is merely a Five-Star Dou Zhe..."

"Brother Xiao Ze, your talent is truly formidable."

"Xun'er said it long ago: one day, you will become a peak expert on this continent. It seems Xun'er was not wrong after all."

Xiao Ze looked at the Xiao Xun'er before him and chuckled. Before he could say anything else, or perhaps make any further move, a System Panel immediately appeared before him with a randomly generated task.

[New Task: Engage in intimate contact with Gu Yuan's daughter and elicit an emotional response from her.]

[New Task: Obtain any Dou Technique or cultivation method of the Ancient Clan from Xiao Xun'er's Storage Ring.]

[Task Progress: Incomplete. (0/2)]

Xiao Ze had just finished examining the two tasks; they were quite simple and not difficult at all.

He looked at Xiao Xun'er and suddenly took her hand, saying, "Xun'er, thank you for the long time you spent giving me enough support and encouragement when I was at my lowest."

"If it weren't for you, I don't think your Brother Xiao Ze would have made it to this day," Xiao Ze said.

Startled by Xiao Ze's sudden action, Xiao Xun'er's eyes and expression grew somewhat tense.

If it had been anyone else suddenly grabbing her hand and initiating physical contact, Xiao Xun'er would have certainly resisted on the spot or felt an instinctive repulsion.

But since it was Xiao Ze, that was a different matter entirely. Xiao Xun'er let him hold her hand, a flush of crimson flashing across her face.

Seeing Xiao Xun'er's reaction, Xiao Ze was extremely satisfied. He looked at her and continued, "Xun'er, I have always kept in my heart the encouragement and comfort you have given me over these years."

"Really? Brother Xiao Ze, you aren't just saying that to make me happy, are you..." Xiao Xun'er's cheeks were slightly flushed.

Xiao Ze replied, "Of course not. Everything I just said came from the bottom of my heart."

No sooner had the blush appeared on Xiao Xun'er's face than Xiao Ze saw the results of the reward on his System Panel.

[Task completed. Host has received a random reward: 20 points of Soul Power attribute. Reward successfully issued.]

The system had just released two tasks; he had completed one, but the other remained unfinished.

Xiao Ze and Xiao Xun'er strolled through the streets of Wutan City. Several hours passed in the blink of an eye, and soon it was evening.

After parting ways with Xiao Xun'er, Xiao Ze returned to the Xiao Family and continued his cultivation. He was currently a Five-Star Grand Dou Shi, and reaching the six-star level would not be difficult.

Given his current rate of cultivation, advancing a level was not a major challenge.

After returning to the Xiao Family and finishing dinner, he went straight to his bedroom to meditate. He did not sleep for the entire night.

The next morning, just as dawn broke, a notification box from the System Panel appeared before Xiao Ze's eyes.

[Host has cultivated for one night, triggering a critical hit reward. Strength has increased; current rank: Seven-Star Grand Dou Shi.]

Seven-Star Grand Dou Shi. Xiao Ze's expression stirred with excitement. As expected of the system panel left by the ancestor Xiao Xuan, even though he had only cultivated for one night, it had allowed him to jump several levels in succession.

Now, he was actually a Seven-Star Grand Dou Shi, surpassing even Xiao Zhan, who had just recently advanced by one star.

Satisfied with his increased strength, he rose and walked out of his room. Just as he stepped outside, he saw Xiao Xun'er in the distance, walking toward his room. Xiao Ze called out, "Xun'er."

He called her name, and she hurried over, saying, "Brother Xiao Ze, I thought you weren't awake yet, so I was planning to go to your room to wake you up."

"Today, under the arrangements of Uncle Xiao and the Clan Head, our Xiao Family is holding a small Dou Qi test."

"It has been a long time since the last test, and many people have already arrived at the Testing Plaza for this one."

[New Task: Accompany Xiao Xun'er to the Testing Plaza for the Dou Qi test and earn the recognition and awe of the Xiao clansmen.]

Xiao Ze nodded. He and Xiao Xun'er left together and headed to the Xiao Family plaza for the day's testing. By now, many members of the Xiao Family had already arrived, standing by the Test Magic Stele and beginning their tests in turn.

"Xiao Mei, Dou Qi, Seventh Stage!" Looking at the characters displayed on the Test Magic Stele, a young girl named Xiao Mei sighed, feeling very frustrated and disappointed.

She hadn't expected that after more than a month, her Dou Qi level would still be stuck at the seventh stage.

Naturally, she was dissatisfied with the result and felt a sense of loss.

When it was Xiao Yan's turn to test his Dou Qi level, the Test Magic Stele displayed: "Xiao Yan, One-Star Dou Zhe."

Many members of the Xiao Family were astonished. Who would have thought that the "useless" Third Young Master, Xiao Yan, would actually see his strength increase instead of continuing to drain away?

To reach the level of a One-Star Dou Zhe in such a short time was truly extraordinary!

Although many in the Xiao Family were unwilling to admit it, Xiao Yan's talent was indeed formidable.

When it was Xiao Xun'er's turn, the Test Magic Stele displayed: "Xiao Xun'er, Dou Qi level: Five-Star Dou Zhe."

"Miss Xun'er, to think she is already a Five-Star Dou Zhe?" Many of the Xiao clansmen were shocked, their faces showing their surprise. But once they remembered that it was Xiao Xun'er, it seemed reasonable enough.

"Brother Xiao Ze, it's your turn next," Xiao Xun'er said after stepping down from the test.

After Xiao Ze went up to begin his test, and before the results were even out, many of the Xiao clansmen began to whisper among themselves.

"I heard that Xiao Ze is now a Five-Star Grand Dou Shi. Have you heard?"

"What? A Five-Star Grand Dou Shi? How is that possible... You must be joking, right? Even our Clan Head, Xiao Zhan, is only a Five-Star Grand Dou Shi."

"Xiao Ze? How could he? You must be joking!"

A look of anticipation appeared on Xiao Zhan's face. Although he already knew what Xiao Ze's test result would be, he was still very excited.

"Dou Qi level: Five-Star Grand Dou Shi."

"If Ze'er's test result comes out like this, I wonder how the younger generation of the Xiao Family will react?" Xiao Zhan was full of anticipation, but what he did not know was that Xiao Ze's current strength was already that of a Seven-Star Grand Dou Shi.
