Heaven-Defying Comprehension, Cultivation Soars!

Ding! You touched Xiao Yan and obtained Heaven-Defying Comprehension!

Ding! You touched Xiao Yan and obtained the Soul Restraint Technique! Note: It can conceal your cultivation aura, allowing you to reveal any aura no higher than your own realm at will!

Ding! You touched Xiao Yan and obtained fifty thousand Gold Coins!

Xiao Lei patted Xiao Yan's shoulder a few times, and three rewards actually popped out in succession!

The system's mechanical voice now sounded wonderfully pleasant in Xiao Lei's heart.

Xiao Yan nodded and said, "Thank you for the encouragement, Cousin Xiao Lei. I won't be discouraged. Cousin Xiao Lei, I'll head back first."

Xiao Lei nodded with a smile. "Alright, go do what you need to do."

"Goodbye, Cousin Xiao Lei." Xiao Yan bid Xiao Lei farewell before turning and leaving.

After watching Xiao Yan leave, Xiao Lei returned to his room, locked the door, and sat cross-legged on the bed.

"Next, it's time to test the effects of these rewards!"

With a quiet murmur in his heart, Xiao Lei used the Heaven-Defying Comprehension reward first.

In an instant, Xiao Lei felt his thoughts become clearer than ever before. He seemed to gain a more lucid understanding of the structure of the body, and even of heaven, earth, and nature.

Not bad. With Heaven-Defying Comprehension, cultivating cultivation methods and Dou Techniques in the future would hold no difficulty at all.

He could even create entirely new cultivation methods and Dou Techniques!

Feeling the changes in his mind, Xiao Lei was quite satisfied. He then took out the Soul Restraint Technique and began cultivating it.

With a Dou Emperor expert secretly watching him, Xiao Lei felt it was better to be cautious.

The Soul Restraint Technique was neither a cultivation method nor a Dou Technique. It could be considered a secret art.

With Heaven-Defying Comprehension, Xiao Lei easily mastered the Soul Restraint Technique completely.

As long as he wished, he could freely reveal any realm from Dou Qi Stage One to One-Star Dou Zhe.

After finishing his cultivation of the Soul Restraint Technique, Xiao Lei prepared to cultivate the Thunderclap Skill.

Suddenly, Xiao Lei thought of something and asked inwardly, "System, do you know my attribute?"

He had only just broken through to the Dou Zhe realm and had yet to test his attribute.

Ding! The host may inspect the attribute panel personally!

The system's emotionless voice sounded, followed by an illusory light screen.

Host: Xiao Lei

Attribute: Lightning

Cultivation: One-Star Dou Zhe

Cultivation Method: None

Dou Technique: Iron Mountain Fist (High-Level Yellow Rank)

After checking the attribute panel, Xiao Lei was immediately reassured. He took out the Thunderclap Skill and began cultivating it.

You began cultivating the High-Level Earth Rank Cultivation Method, Thunderclap Skill. Suddenly, you gained an insight and perfectly grasped its essence, comprehending this cultivation method to perfection.

"Not bad. Heaven-Defying Comprehension really is incredible! Next, I can consume the Thunder Essence Fruit." Xiao Lei murmured inwardly, immediately taking the Thunder Essence Fruit from the System Space and putting it into his mouth.

The spiritual fruit melted upon entering his mouth, and a surge of pure energy instantly flooded into Xiao Lei's body.

Without any hesitation, Xiao Lei immediately circulated the Thunderclap Skill and began refining and absorbing the pure medicinal power.

As Xiao Lei refined and absorbed it, the total amount of Dou Qi within his body continuously rose.

At the same time, his cultivation realm soared without pause!

Two-Star Dou Zhe!

Three-Star Dou Zhe!

Seven Star Dou Zhe!

Only after an hour was the medicinal power of the Thunder Essence Fruit completely refined and absorbed.

"Phew!"

After absorbing the Thunder Essence Fruit's medicinal power, Xiao Lei let out a long breath of turbid air and stopped cultivating.

Seven Star Dou Zhe!

The feeling of having cheats really was amazing!

Sensing the rise in his realm, Xiao Lei was extremely satisfied and almost wanted to laugh out loud!

But in the end, he held it in!

Stay steady. Don't get carried away!

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Lei steadied his mind and carefully sensed his condition. There was not the slightest sign of an unstable foundation.

Sure enough, the system had not deceived him!

After studying the system for a while longer, Xiao Lei went straight to bed to rest.

The night passed without incident.

The morning sunlight slipped through the window and into the room, falling upon the bed and casting a faint golden glow over the young man's features.

"Waking up naturally after sleeping really does feel nice."

Xiao Lei yawned, slowly opened his eyes, muttered to himself, then got dressed and rose from bed.

"Brother Xiao Lei, are you awake?"

Just as Xiao Lei finished dressing, Xun'er's pleasant voice sounded from outside the door.

"I'm coming," Xiao Lei replied with a smile as he stepped forward and opened the door.

At the doorway, a breathtakingly beautiful young girl in a pale green dress was quietly waiting.

Xun'er stared at Xiao Lei and suddenly said, "Why do I feel like Brother Xiao Lei seems a little different today?"

Was this a woman's sixth sense?

Xiao Lei thought to himself, but his expression remained unchanged as he teased, "Did I become even more handsome?"

"Brother Xiao Lei, your skin is really thick," Xun'er said, a faint smile appearing at the corner of her lips.

"I'm only telling the truth." Xiao Lei smiled. "Come on. Today, my time belongs to Miss Xun'er."

Laughing and chatting, the two headed outside the family estate.

Along the way, they encountered several members of the Xiao Family. Seeing the two chatting and laughing so intimately, they all felt a wave of envy.

The men envied Xiao Lei, while the women envied Xiao Xun'er.

Ignoring the looks from these clansmen, Xiao Lei led Xun'er directly out of the family estate.

The two first went to a restaurant for breakfast, then leisurely wandered along the bustling streets.

After leaving the family estate, Xun'er became much livelier. She tugged Xiao Lei along, constantly darting among the various stalls.

The young girl's clear, delicate laughter made the streets under the scorching sun seem a little cooler.

After wandering around, the two gradually made their way deeper into the marketplace.

When they arrived at a clean stall, Xun'er suddenly stopped. Extending her fair, delicate wrist, she picked up a pale green bracelet and tried it on.

"How much is this bracelet?" Seeing that Xun'er seemed to like it, Xiao Lei asked the stall owner.

"Three Gold Coins," the vendor replied with a cheerful smile.

"That's not expensive." Xiao Lei smiled, slipping his hand into his robe as cover while taking three Gold Coins from the System Space, then handing them to the vendor.

"Thank you." The vendor accepted the Gold Coins, his face full of smiles.

Xun'er was also very happy to see Xiao Lei buy the bracelet for her. "Thank you, Brother Xiao Lei."

Xiao Lei chuckled. "As long as you like it."

"Eh, isn't this Miss Xun'er? Hehe, I didn't expect to run into you here. What a coincidence."

At that moment, a clear laugh suddenly came from ahead.

As the voice fell, a group of people surged toward them.

At the center of the crowd, surrounded like stars around the moon, was a richly dressed young man.

The young man was around twenty years old and rather handsome, though his complexion was somewhat pale.

His eyes were currently fixed on the graceful young girl not far away with burning intensity, his gaze filled with undisguised affection.

This young man was none other than Galeo, the young master of the Jia Lie Family, one of Wu Tan City's three great families.

Looking at Galeo approaching, Xun'er's slender brows furrowed slightly, but she ignored him.

"Miss Xun'er, did you come to the marketplace to buy something? I happen to have some free time. How about we take a stroll together?"

Galeo seemed not to notice Xun'er's displeasure as he spoke with a bright, gentle smile.

Xun'er pursed her small lips slightly, her voice utterly calm and without the slightest ripple. "No need, Young Master Galeo. Please do not disturb Brother Xiao Lei and me while we are shopping. Thank you!"

With that, Xun'er took Xiao Lei's hand and prepared to leave.

But Galeo stepped forward and blocked their path.
