Battle Through the Heavens: Reborn into the Xiao Clan, Starting with Xiao Xuan's Inheritance

Ink fell, and the brush paused!

Xiao Yan abruptly drew the short sword from the table and slashed a bloody gash across his left hand...

A streak of blood instantly marked the white paper.

"Do not think that just because I, Xiao Yan, am worthless today, I will remain worthless forever!"

"There is no need to make the three-year agreement so complicated. The marriage contract between us ends today!"

"Of course, it is not you, Nalan Yanran, breaking off the engagement. It is I, Xiao Yan, who am divorcing you today!"

Seeing this, Xiao Yi could not help praising him inwardly!

As expected of the man who would become Brother Yan in the future. His bearing truly surpassed that of ordinary men.

"You dare divorce me?"

Nalan Yanran stared wide-eyed at the letter of divorce on the table, marked with blood.

The next second, Nalan Yanran, who had never suffered such humiliation, flew completely into a rage.

Streams of cyan Dou Qi wound around her waist.

She clearly looked ready to attack.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi no longer concealed himself.

Red Dou Qi instantly surged from his body, coating both his arms.

"What is it, Miss Nalan? Couldn't wait three years?"

"It is only that Brother Yan does not yet care to fight you. But if you want to make a move, I can keep you company!"

Xiao Yi's eruption of Dou Qi left everyone present slightly stunned.

At the same time, the three elders revealed looks of excitement.

The Xiao Clan finally had another Dou Practitioner so young!

"Brother Yi, you...?"

Of everyone present, Xiao Yan was the most shocked.

After all, Xiao Yi's Dou Qi had clearly vanished on the same day as his own, and the test just now had shown him to possess only one stage of Dou Qi. Why had he suddenly become a powerful Dou Practitioner?

Xiao Yi merely turned back and said calmly, "I'll explain later..."

The instant Xiao Yi unleashed his Dou Qi, Ge Ye, the Misty Cloud Sect elder who had accompanied Nalan Yanran here, spoke up.

"Brat, do not be so arrogant! You are merely a Dou Practitioner. This old man can suppress you with one hand!"

Ge Ye's aura instantly surged, and Dou Qi churned around his body.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhan, seated in the place of honor, showed no trace of timidity.

The aura of a five-star Grand Dou Master burst forth in an instant, confronting Ge Ye head-on.

"Elder Ge, this is a squabble between juniors. It would not be appropriate for us to interfere..."

Upon hearing this, Ge Ye first looked toward Nalan Yanran. Only after receiving her signal did he withdraw his Dou Qi.

"The Xiao Clan's pair of supreme talents truly live up to their reputation. One was crippled, yet the other has become a Dou Practitioner at such a young age..."

"Very well, Xiao Yi. I accept your challenge today!"

As Nalan Yanran finished speaking, cyan Dou Qi flowed beneath her fitted white outfit, coiling around her like a thin mist.

The blade of air gathered at her fingertips glimmered with a chilling light.

She looked coldly at Xiao Yi. "Nalan Yanran, three-star Dou Practitioner..."

The red Dou Qi covering Xiao Yi's arms appeared no weaker.

"Xiao Yi, one-star Dou Practitioner!"

The next second, Nalan Yanran's pupils contracted. With a sharp cry, she flung out three cyan whips of light.

The whips coiled toward him like spiritual snakes, but the instant they touched Xiao Yi's red Dou Qi, they emitted a piercing sizzle.

Rather than retreating, Xiao Yi advanced and threw a punch. His fist wind tore through the light whips, and the red Dou Qi condensed over his fist crashed violently against the cyan shield Nalan Yanran hastily formed.

Boom!

The blast of air overturned the stone slabs beneath their feet.

Xiao Yan watched the battle between them intently and could not help sighing inwardly. A Dou Practitioner truly possesses formidable strength...

If I were still a Dou Practitioner...

After Xiao Yi's brief exchange with Nalan Yanran,

Xiao Yi had indeed held a faint advantage in terms of strength.

However, battles between Dou Practitioners were not decided by strength alone. More importantly, they were contests of Dou Techniques.

And Xiao Yi had yet to master a single Dou Technique.

Thus, when Xiao Zhan saw Nalan Yanran preparing to unleash a Dou Technique, he immediately rose to stop the fight between them.

After all, if it continued, Xiao Yi would certainly lose.

"Niece Nalan, since you have already achieved your purpose today..."

"Then please leave..."

Hearing this, Nalan Yanran halted her movements.

She said coldly, "Xiao Yi, I hope that in three years, I will see you at the Misty Cloud Sect as well!"

Xiao Yi merely smiled faintly. "Naturally..."

Xiao Clan Back Mountain.

Xiao Yan and Xiao Yi sat cross-legged on the ground as they often did.

"Brother Yi, your Dou Qi..."

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yan ultimately could not restrain himself and slowly spoke.

Xiao Yi casually held a foxtail grass stem between his teeth and smiled faintly.

"If I said my Dou Qi had never actually disappeared, would you believe me?"

"Huh? It never disappeared?"

Xiao Yan's face was full of surprise. Clearly, he did not quite believe Xiao Yi's explanation.

"Yes, it never disappeared. It was merely hidden inside my body all along..."

"For some reason, it suddenly erupted completely just now, helping me return to the Dou Practitioner realm..."

The gentle smile remained on Xiao Yi's face as he spoke softly.

Xiao Yi did not care whether Xiao Yan believed him or not. At this point, he could only make up a lie.

He could not possibly tell Xiao Yan that Xiao Xuan had returned his Dou Qi.

Seeing Xiao Yi's serious expression, Xiao Yan said nothing. Only the envy in his eyes was impossible to hide.

"Then, Brother Yi, do you think my Dou Qi might also be like yours..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yan immediately began circulating the faint trace of Dou Qi within his body, unwilling to accept it.

A moment later, the expression on Xiao Yan's face explained everything.

Like Xiao Yi, his vanished Dou Qi had not returned.

Seeing Xiao Yan's profound disappointment, Xiao Yi spoke softly.

"Xiao Yan, do not be so anxious..."

"There must be a reason your Dou Qi disappeared. With your talent, once you find the cause, you will surely progress by leaps and bounds in the future..."

"As for trash like Nalan Yanran, in three years, I will accompany you to the Misty Cloud Sect and slap her face hard!"

Though Xiao Yan was extremely unwilling to accept it, he could only nod at that moment.

"A temporary setback is nothing. Perhaps the experiences you and I gained during these three years of lost Dou Qi will even help our future growth..."

"Those who once looked down on us will regret it one day..."

"When autumn comes on the eighth day of the ninth month, once my flowers bloom, all others shall wither!"

Xiao Yi's words came out one set after another, like layers in a pancake wrap.

Though Xiao Yan could not fully understand them at the moment, he knew that Xiao Yi had always possessed a temperament more mature than others their age.

That was also why Xiao Yan had liked staying with Xiao Yi since they were children.

As the two talked, Xiao Xun'er slowly approached once more.

"Brother Xiao Yan, Brother Xiao Yi!"
