The Ritual Ends, Cultivating the Chaos God Grinding Visualization Method!

"The Xiao Clan is about to rise..." The guests could not help drawing sharp breaths, muttering to themselves.

In a single year, he had soared from a One-Star Dou Zhe to a Nine-Star Dou Shi. One could imagine how bright the future of such a monstrous genius would be!

"At this rate of cultivation, perhaps... in a few decades, the Xiao Clan will produce a supreme expert who surpasses the Dou Emperor level!"

The people in the guest seats exchanged glances, the same terrifying thought flashing through all their minds.

In the current Jia Ma Empire, Dou Emperors were already the strongest experts.

As long as any family produced a Dou Emperor, regardless of its own limitations, its status would immediately rise accordingly.

By then, even the Three Great Families of Jia Ma Empire and the imperial family would not dare suppress it. Instead, they would do everything possible to win it over and curry favor!

Not to mention that Xiao Lei was highly likely to reach a height beyond that of a Dou Emperor!

At the center of the platform, Xiao Zhan and the Xiao Clan elders all wore delighted expressions.

A month ago, Xiao Lei had tested as an Eight-Star Dou Shi. In only one month, he had actually advanced another star. Even they were both shocked and overjoyed by such speed.

So long as Xiao Lei did not die young, their Xiao Clan would surely be able to return to the Gama Imperial Capital one day and restore its former glory!

"Clan Leader Xiao, Young Master Xiao Lei's cultivation talent is truly astounding. Your Xiao Clan may be about to produce an extraordinary expert."

Not far from Xiao Zhan, Ya Fei's beautiful eyes were fixed on the handsome youth in the field. Her red lips parted slightly as she smiled.

Xiao Zhan laughed twice, the excitement on his face nearly impossible to conceal. He cupped his hands toward Ya Fei and said politely,

"Miss Ya Fei flatters him. Xiao Lei is still only at the Dou Shi realm. He still has a long road ahead before he can become a true expert."

Xiao Zhan was indeed extremely excited. Xiao Yan's talent had returned, and now there was also Xiao Lei, this monstrous genius. He seemed to have already foreseen the Xiao Clan's glorious future!

Ya Fei's alluring eyes curved slightly as she gave a charming smile, saying nothing more.

She did not yet know how far Xiao Lei could grow. The only thing she knew was that Xiao Lei now possessed enough potential to make her value him!

Her captivating gaze shifted, but Ya Fei had already made up her mind. In the future, she would interact more with the Xiao Clan and do her utmost to befriend them.

Below the platform, Xiao Yu's small mouth hung slightly open, her pretty face stiff with shock as she stared at the Black Stele in the field. After a long while, her ample chest rose and fell sharply for a moment, and her heart was filled with utter disbelief.

How is this possible? Why did I never discover that this guy had such terrifying talent before? With this cultivation speed, even the monsters in Jia Nan Academy cannot compare to him!

Xiao Ning stood beside her with a gloomy face, saying nothing.

Originally, Xiao Ning had naturally been jealous of Xiao Lei, who was so close to Xun Er.

But ever since Xiao Lei had displayed strength far beyond that of his peers, Xiao Ning no longer dared contend with him.

He was only at the eighth stage of Dou Zhi Li, while Xiao Lei was already a Nine-Star Dou Shi. What could he possibly use to compete with Xiao Lei?

Before the Testing Stele, Xiao Lei paid no attention to everyone's shock and slowly withdrew his palm.

At once, the golden light on the Black Stele gradually faded, returning once more to its deep, icy black.

As the golden glow vanished, the Second Elder also recovered from his stunned delight. He gave a light cough and said,

"The Ritual Retest is complete. According to the usual rules, Xiao Lei will accept one challenge. Who wishes to step forward?"

At the Second Elder's words, all the younger members of the Xiao Clan fell silent.

What a joke. Challenging Xiao Lei, a Nine-Star Dou Shi? Unless their brains had been caught in a door!

Xiao Lei smiled faintly and casually swept his gaze over the people his age below the platform, yet no one dared meet his eyes.

"Humph!" Even Xiao Yu snorted coldly and turned her head away when she saw Xiao Lei looking her way.

Xiao Yu might have had a fiery temper, but she was not stupid.

She was a Three-Star Dou Zhe. Challenging a Nine-Star Dou Shi would be asking to get beaten up!

"Since no one is challenging him, Xiao Lei, you may return," the Second Elder said with a chuckle.

Xiao Lei nodded slightly and slowly returned to his place beneath the gazes of the entire crowd.

Facing the reverent looks from the surrounding clansmen, Xiao Lei remained calm and unruffled.

"Brother Xiao Lei, you really stole the show this time. Who knows how many girls' eyes you attracted?" Xun Er said sweetly beside him, the corners of her lips curving upward.

Xiao Lei chuckled. "The only one who can attract my eyes is you, Xun Er."

At those words, Xun Er's pretty face flushed faintly, while sweetness filled her heart.

Girls were like that. Whether it was true or false, they loved hearing pleasant words. Even Xun Er was no exception.

After Xiao Lei's coming-of-age ceremony was over, more clansmen continued stepping forward. However, under the shadow of the shock he had created, the achievements of the others seemed somewhat dull and lackluster.

Even Xiao Yan and Xun Er's appearances only caused a slight stir.

After all, while their results were somewhat astonishing as well, they were far less shocking than Xiao Lei's incredible result.

The coming-of-age ceremony lasted from morning until afternoon, finally drawing to a slow close amid the crowd's constant exclamations.

As the crowd dispersed, pairs of eyes still could not help turning toward the handsome youth in green robes below the platform, carrying traces of shock.

After the coming-of-age ceremony, Xiao Lei's life returned to peace once again.

Every day, other than his regular cultivation, he would accompany Xun Er while shopping or taking walks. His days were relaxed and carefree.

Even on the day they selected cultivation methods in the Douqi Pavilion, Xiao Lei merely stood to the side and watched the excitement.

After all, Xiao Lei had already thoroughly comprehended every cultivation method in the Xiao Clan's Douqi Pavilion. Moreover, he himself cultivated a High-Level Earth Rank Cultivation Method, so naturally there was no need for him to select another.

Xiao Lei spent several leisurely days relaxing, keeping himself in peak condition in every respect.

That night, Xiao Lei quietly came alone to a secluded spot on the Xiao Family Back Mountain.

It's time to cultivate the Chaos God Grinding Visualization Method...

After sensing the surrounding environment, Xiao Lei released the Three-Star Dou Ling-level puppet to stand guard beside him and protect him as he cultivated.

Then, Xiao Lei took out the Chaos God Grinding Visualization Method he had obtained from the lottery draw. It was unexpectedly a thin jade slip.

The moment the jade slip appeared, it transformed into a streak of white light and shot into Xiao Lei's glabella, imprinting itself deep within his soul.

Xiao Lei sat cross-legged upon a large boulder, took a deep breath, and slowly closed his eyes.

As his eyes closed, his vision immediately turned dark. Xiao Lei's heartbeat gradually slowed, bringing his state of mind into absolute calm.

Thump!

Thump!

The sounds of wind, birdsong, and everything else in the outside world quietly faded away. Only the sound of his heartbeat echoed through the darkness.

Within the darkness, Xiao Lei stirred his soul and sensed the unique imprint left by the jade slip.

As Xiao Lei sensed it, a faint gleam suddenly appeared in the darkness.

The gleam slowly revolved. Its depths were unfathomable, as though some terrifying existence lay hidden within!
