A Terrifying Soul Cultivation Method Shocks the Entire Audience!

Ding! You touched Xiao Yan and obtained the Chaos God Grinding Visualization Method!

Holy shit, it was actually this cultivation method!

Hearing the contents of the system reward, Cousin Xiao Lei was instantly overjoyed.

He had come to help Xiao Yan out of his predicament partly because he wanted to take the chance to draw a reward, but he had never expected this reward to delight him so greatly.

A month ago, because he lacked a soul cultivation method, Cousin Xiao Lei's soul realm had been unable to break through to the Spirit Realm.

Cousin Xiao Lei had not expected to obtain a soul cultivation method through a reward draw so quickly—and such an awesome one at that!

With this Chaos God Grinding Visualization Method, let alone the Spirit Realm, even the Heaven Realm and Emperor Realm would pose no difficulty in the future. He could even cultivate his soul to an even higher realm.

"Yan'er, are you all right? What happened with that girl Xiao Yu just now?" At that moment, Xiao Zhan hurried over as well. Seeing that Xiao Yan was unharmed, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Yan shook his head slightly. "I'm fine. That woman suddenly went crazy and tried to attack me, but Cousin Xiao Lei stopped her."

"Good child, thank you. You helped Yan'er again," Xiao Zhan said with a smile as he looked at Cousin Xiao Lei beside him.

"Actually, I didn't really do much," Cousin Xiao Lei said, withdrawing his thoughts from the system.

Hearing Cousin Xiao Lei's words, Xiao Zhan did not pursue the subject, but he silently kept his gratitude toward him in his heart.

"Young Master Xiao Lei, we meet again. I heard that you've already become an Eight-Star Dou Shi. Is that true?" Ya Fei stepped forward from behind Xiao Zhan, smiling sweetly.

Cousin Xiao Lei spread his hands. "I merely encountered a fortunate opportunity during this trip for training."

Hearing this indirect admission, even Ya Fei, calm as she was, could not help but draw a sharp breath. A flicker of surprise and gravity passed through her beautiful eyes.

A year ago, Cousin Xiao Lei had defeated Galeo and the many guards around him in the Wu Tan City marketplace, displaying strength at least above that of a Five-Star Dou Zhe.

Ya Fei had already been greatly shocked when she learned of that news. She had never imagined that in just one year, Cousin Xiao Lei would rise from a Five-Star Dou Zhe to an Eight-Star Dou Shi. Such speed was simply terrifying!

Afterward, Xiao Zhan introduced Ya Fei to Xiao Yan.

With a monster like Cousin Xiao Lei before her, Ya Fei found it relatively easier to accept Xiao Yan's breakthrough of four stages of Dou Qi in one year.

"All right, the coming-of-age ceremony is about to begin. I need to prepare a few things first. Perform well later, especially Yan'er. Don't embarrass your father," Xiao Zhan said with a smile after looking up at the sky, then turned and left.

It seems I'll have to change my attitude toward the Xiao Family in the future. As she turned to leave with Xiao Zhan, Ya Fei cast a deep glance in Cousin Xiao Lei's direction.

The coming-of-age ceremony's procedures were so complicated that they made one's head ache.

Anyone who had passed the test a month ago had to undergo this ceremony, each of them being manipulated like a puppet for a full half hour.

Cousin Xiao Lei was no exception when his turn came.

Under the gazes of the entire audience, Cousin Xiao Lei stood woodenly in place for half an hour, until he was finally covered in all sorts of spices.

After finishing all those tedious procedures, the Second Elder, who was presiding over the coming-of-age ceremony, could not help wiping away his sweat. He then turned and walked to the Black Stone Testing Stele, shouting, "Ritual Retest!"

The Ritual Retest was another test of one's Dou Qi.

The test a month ago had merely been a preliminary assessment, intended to select the outstanding seeds of the clan.

Only these outstanding seeds were qualified to hold their coming-of-age ceremony on this high platform.

The Ritual Retest was much stricter and more precise than the preliminary assessment. This retest was personally supervised and examined by the Second Elder, whose strength was that of a Two-Star Da Dou Shi.

This showed just how much importance the Xiao Family placed on the coming-of-age ceremony.

Hearing the Second Elder's shout, the audience below, which had been somewhat bored, immediately perked up. Countless gazes shot directly toward the high platform.

In the guest seats, those from the various factions also stared intently at the black-clothed youth on the stage.

Their purpose in coming here was to confirm whether the Xiao Family had truly produced a genuine monster!

Cousin Xiao Lei paid no attention at all to the surrounding gazes. He calmly walked forward and stopped before the Black Stele.

"Begin," the Second Elder said with a kindly smile toward Cousin Xiao Lei.

The current Cousin Xiao Lei was the treasure of the entire Xiao Family!

Not only Xiao Zhan, but even the Three Great Elders treated him very warmly.

Cousin Xiao Lei nodded slightly and slowly extended his palm toward the Testing Stele.

Watching Cousin Xiao Lei touch the stele on the high platform, Xiao Yu's willow-leaf brows below the stage could not help furrowing slightly. She turned to Xiao Ning and asked in a low voice, "Has that guy really reached Eight-Star Dou Shi?"

Xiao Yu had only returned from the academy on leave two days ago, so she had not personally witnessed the preliminary assessment that day.

Moreover, Xiao Yu remembered that while Cousin Xiao Lei's talent had been good, it had never been this exaggerated. When she had left the Xiao Family, he had still been quite a distance from becoming a Dou Zhe.

Asked by his sister, Xiao Ning nodded bitterly and said in a muffled voice, "Yeah. I don't know what that guy ate, but his cultivation has surged far too ridiculously over the past year!"

With the truth of the rumor confirmed once more, Xiao Yu pressed her red lips together tightly. Her heart was greatly shaken, but she refused to admit defeat with her words.

"Without seeing it with my own eyes, it's hard for me to believe that he could truly improve so astonishingly within a year. Even the geniuses of Jia Nan Academy couldn't do it!"

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yu stared fixedly at the Testing Stele, but her expression suddenly froze!

On the lofty wooden platform, the enormous black stone stele shone brilliantly. Golden characters appeared across its surface in vigorous strokes, entering everyone's sight.

"Dou Shi: Nine Stars!"

Silence!

Utter silence!

In an instant, the entire venue fell into complete dead silence!

After a brief moment of stunned disbelief, every gaze froze blankly upon the black stone stele shining with golden light.

From the guest seats came the crisp, unceasing sounds of teacups falling to the ground.

The representatives of the various factions in Wu Tan City were all dumbfounded, their faces filled with disbelief!

They had come merely to confirm whether Cousin Xiao Lei had truly risen from a Dou Zhe to an Eight-Star Dou Shi within a year, as the rumors claimed!

But what had appeared before them not only confirmed the rumors—it had exceeded all their expectations!

They vaguely remembered that at the Xiao Family's test a year ago, Cousin Xiao Lei had only been a One-Star Dou Zhe!

In one year, he had risen from a One-Star Dou Zhe to a Nine-Star Dou Shi!

Faced with such cultivation speed, only four words remained in everyone's minds: terrifying beyond belief!

If they knew that Cousin Xiao Lei's true cultivation was not Nine-Star Dou Shi, but Nine-Star Dou Master, who knew how shocked they would be!

After the dead silence, an uproar instantly erupted throughout the venue!
