Emperor of Europe Possessed, Summoning the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong

Inside the Xiao Clan ancestral hall, the Clan Head, Xiao Zhan, was discussing matters with several elders.

At that moment, someone suddenly came running in from outside.

As soon as he entered, he blurted out, "Clan Head! The young master has gone mad!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan clenched his fist and slammed it onto the table, shattering the wood instantly.

The First Elder chuckled and said, "What happened? Tell us slowly."

Xiao Zhan had always felt immense guilt toward his youngest son. Now that Xiao Yan's cultivation had regressed for unknown reasons, he had become a well-known waste.

Xiao Zhan was at his wit's end; if anything were to happen to Xiao Yan because of this, he would never be able to face his late wife.

The messenger caught his breath and continued, "Clan Head, the young master went mad during the test earlier. Young Master Xiao Yan's measured strength was only at the third stage of Dou Zhi Qi. Yet, instead of being heartbroken, he left with a very happy smile on his face."

The First Elder burst into laughter upon hearing this, and the Second Elder stroked his beard, adding, "He was already a waste to begin with. We were planning to send him to manage the clan's external businesses as a servant, but now that he's gone mad, he won't be able to do anything at all."

The First Elder then remarked, "He is the Clan Head's son, after all. Even if he can't do anything, we won't let him starve to death. Am I right?"

Xiao Zhan let out a cold snort, clasped his hands behind his back, and walked out of the ancestral hall.

On the back mountain.

Xiao Yan gazed at the bright moonlight and took out the ring.

"Hey, you've been absorbing my Dou Zhi Qi for three years now, why won't you say a word?"

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, an aged figure emerged from the ring.

He looked at Xiao Yan with a puzzled expression.

"How did you know? Do you know something?" Elder Yao asked suspiciously.

If it were the previous Xiao Yan, he would have been furious by now. However, the current Xiao Yan felt no anger toward Elder Yao for absorbing his Dou Zhi Qi for three years.

Because he had read the subsequent plot, he knew that Elder Yao was actually a good person.

"You absorbed three years of my Dou Zhi Qi, and I can forgive you. But you must help me recover my former strength and talent as soon as possible."

Elder Yao grunted in acknowledgment, though he felt that something about the situation was slightly off.

The two fell into an awkward silence, neither knowing what to say next.

After a moment of thought, Elder Yao sighed.

"Although I don't know how you discovered me, I did indeed absorb your Dou Zhi Qi for three years, forcing you to experience the coldness of the world. Very well, as long as you are willing to take me as your master, I can guarantee that you will stand at the pinnacle of the entire Dou Qi Continent!"

Xiao Yan did not hesitate in the slightest and knelt directly on the ground.

"Master is above, please accept this disciple's kowtow."

Elder Yao nodded and said, "Since that is the case, I will begin helping you cultivate tomorrow. Someone is coming; I must hide for now."

No sooner had Elder Yao finished speaking than he retreated back into the ring.

"Yan'er, why have you come here again?"

Xiao Zhan's voice drifted over.

Xiao Yan turned around with a smile. To him, Xiao Zhan was an incredibly important person. In this life, Xiao Yan would protect Xiao Zhan well and never let him suffer again.

"Father, why are you here?"

Xiao Zhan walked over slowly and said softly, "Yan'er, are you still thinking about the test this afternoon?"

"There's nothing to think about; I don't care about it at all," Xiao Yan said with a smile.

Xiao Zhan's heart tightened, then relaxed again.

"Yan'er, you're fifteen this year, aren't you?"

"Yes, Father."

"In another year, it will be time for your coming-of-age ceremony," Xiao Zhan said with a bitter smile.

Xiao Yan felt no nervousness. He had already survived the college entrance exams; could this coming-of-age ceremony really be more competitive than that?

"Don't worry, Father, I will definitely not let you down."

Xiao Zhan sighed.

"I'm sorry, Yan'er. If your Dou Zhi Qi doesn't reach the seventh stage in a year, then Father will have no choice but to painfully assign you to the clan's businesses. After all, I am not the only one who makes decisions in this family," Xiao Zhan said with a hint of guilt.

Xiao Yan comforted him, "Father, do you not believe in me? In one year, I will definitely reach the seventh stage of Dou Zhi Qi. I won't let you down!"

Xiao Zhan smiled and said, "Of course I believe in you. Alright, enough talk. Go back and rest early; we have distinguished guests arriving tomorrow."

Xiao Yan sneered inwardly upon hearing this. It was just Nalan Yanran coming to break off the engagement, wasn't it!

Xiao Yan clutched the low-level Summoning Talisman in his hand; it was his only trump card for now.

If he only summoned a Da Dou Shi, it wouldn't be enough to make everyone here wary. Only a Dou Ling expert could suppress the monsters and demons of this early stage.

Xiao Zhan patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder after speaking and walked away down the hillside.

Xiao Yan rubbed his face.

"System, how do I use this talisman?"

"Ding. The host simply needs to click 'use'."

Xiao Yan paused for a moment before placing the talisman against his chest.

The next instant, the Summoning Talisman vanished.

An elderly figure appeared by Xiao Yan's side.

"Ding. Congratulations to the host for summoning the powerhouse Hai Bodong (sealed), strength: three-star Dou Ling."

Holy crap!

Xiao Yan was truly a lucky dog; he had actually used a low-level Summoning Talisman to summon Old Hai, a man who was once a Dou Huang powerhouse.

This was the most popular character in the anime, known as the Angel Investor!

Xiao Yan looked at Hai Bodong, and Hai Bodong looked back at Xiao Yan.

"Old Hai, don't you find it strange to suddenly appear here?" Xiao Yan asked.

Hai Bodong spoke up, "A mysterious voice asked me to sign a contract, claiming it could help me return to my peak. However, I must guard you at all times."

Xiao Yan asked, "You believed it?"

"That mysterious power was immense. I was a Dou Huang powerhouse once, after all; I could sense it. That is why I was willing to sign the contract. Compared to searching for a sixth-tier alchemist who possesses Heavenly Flame, this seemed easier," Hai Bodong replied.

Xiao Yan was so happy he could have jumped for joy. He had summoned Hai Bodong right at the start! If a low-level Summoning Talisman was this effective, then surely more powerful talismans could summon those legendary figures as well.

However, Xiao Yan calmed down after a moment and told Hai Bodong, "Old Hai, I will need your help tomorrow. But you cannot appear in everyone's sight yet, or it won't be any fun."

Hai Bodong nodded. For a Dou Ling powerhouse, finding a place to stay in Wutan City was effortless.

Xiao Yan returned home as well.

"Nalan Yanran! I will make you realize that even a piece of trash is not someone you can bully as you please!"
