Reborn into the Xiao Clan, Starting with Xiao Xuan's Legacy

Although Xiao Yan had yet to recover his strength, the confidence that belonged to a genius had long since returned.

He snorted coldly. "Stay away from Xun'er from now on. Otherwise, die!"

Yet Jia Lie'ao was not angered in the slightest upon hearing this. Instead, he burst into laughter.

"Die? You're telling me to die?"

"Who gave you the courage? Those three stages of Dou Qi in your body?"

Jia Lie'ao then pointed at the star insignia on his chest and continued smugly, "See this clearly! I'm a one-star Dou Zhe now!"

"What are you going to use to fight me?"

After remaining silent for a long while, Xiao Yi finally spoke slowly.

"You only became a Dou Zhe at twenty. What the hell are you so smug about?"

Xiao Yi slowly stepped forward, and streaks of red Dou Qi surged around him.

"A Dou Zhe!?"

"Impossible! You and Xiao Yan had already lost all your Dou Qi and become trash. How could your cultivation still be at the Dou Zhe level now?!"

Upon sensing the aura emanating from Xiao Yi, the smile on Jia Lie'ao's lips abruptly froze.

He had not expected Xiao Yi to recover his Dou Qi and successfully advance to the Dou Zhe realm as well.

However, Xiao Yi had never been the hesitant, soft-hearted type.

Before the guards around Jia Lie'ao could react, Xiao Yi's figure flashed.

He had already arrived before Jia Lie'ao.

He swung out a palm, and the force carried by the palm wind had already cut a tiny bloody mark across Jia Lie'ao's cheek.

Jia Lie'ao's pupils suddenly contracted. He hastily leaned back, only to see Xiao Yi send another slap at him.

Bang!

Jia Lie'ao staggered into the wine jars by the roadside.

The instant shattered porcelain and wine splashed into the air, Xiao Yi closed in like a ghost.

Slaps tore through the air one after another, and Jia Lie'ao's cheeks had long since swollen.

"Im... impossible!"

Jia Lie'ao clutched his cheeks, breathing heavily.

They were both one-star Dou Zhes, so why was Xiao Yi so fast?!

He did not even have the slightest chance to fight back.

This scene left everyone present utterly stunned.

Even the guards who had followed Jia Lie'ao were dumbfounded.

"What are you staring at? Get him!"

Jia Lie'ao was completely flustered now. He hurriedly shouted, ordering his guards to capture Xiao Yi.

"In our Xiao Clan marketplace, you dare bully a young master of the Xiao Clan?"

At that moment, a deep, powerful voice rang out from the crowd. Xiao Clan guards rushed forward and firmly shielded Xiao Yi behind them.

Seeing this, Jia Lie'ao knew that there was truly nothing he could do to Xiao Yi today.

He could only leave in disgrace.

"Xiao Yi, remember today's humiliation!"

"My Jia Lie Clan is not done with the Xiao Clan!"

Watching Jia Lie'ao lead the Jia Lie Clan guards away in embarrassment, Xiao Yan turned back slightly to look at Xiao Yi.

"Brother Yi, how great would it be if I could be like you too!"

Xiao Yan was clearly filled with envy for Xiao Yi's carefree and dashing display just now.

Xiao Yi merely smiled faintly. "You brat, getting impatient again?"

"The confidence you worked so hard to regain has only just returned. One day, you'll only become even stronger..."

Xiao Yan nodded upon hearing this.

And so, the three of them continued strolling through the marketplace.

Xiao Yi bought nothing, but Xiao Yan picked up a piece of black iron.

If Xiao Yi remembered correctly, there seemed to be a Dou Technique hidden within that iron piece: Sucking Palm!

After returning to the Xiao Clan,

the three went their separate ways.

Xiao Yan dashed off to the back mountain again.

This time, however, he unexpectedly did not invite Xiao Yi along.

Xiao Yi could roughly guess that the boy had gone to the back mountain to cultivate with Yao Lao.

Xiao Yi had no intention of disturbing him. After all, Xiao Xuan was also inside his storage ring.

Naturally, he needed to cultivate under Xiao Xuan as well.

In the back mountains outside Wutan City.

Bright moonlight filtered through the branches and leaves, scattering across the ground in scattered patches.

Xiao Yi sat cross-legged alone inside a cave.

He continuously absorbed energy, his chest rising and falling with each breath.

He felt Dou Qi flowing freely through his body.

The next second, a burst of Dou Qi suddenly erupted from around him.

"I finally broke through... a two-star Dou Zhe..."

Xiao Yi slowly opened his eyes and murmured.

At this moment, Xiao Xuan slowly appeared from within the storage ring.

Seeing Xiao Yi's excited expression, a trace of disdain could not help flashing through Xiao Xuan's eyes.

"You brat, you're this happy just because you became a two-star Dou Zhe?"

Xiao Yi did not mind and simply smiled. "Ancestor, you don't understand. The Xiao Clan of today is no longer comparable to the Xiao Clan of old!"

"In a small place like ours, becoming a Dou Zhe at my age is already enough to be called a genius!"

Xiao Xuan merely sighed helplessly upon hearing this.

"The little girl who went out with you today isn't from our Xiao Clan, is she...?"

Xiao Yi nodded. "Ancestor, how did you know?"

Xiao Xuan said, "The aura she gives off is somewhat similar to that old brat Gu Yuan's. In my opinion, she is probably Gu Yuan's daughter..."

Xiao Xuan frowned slightly as he voiced his guess.

Xiao Yi said nothing, only nodded repeatedly.

"That old bastard Gu Yuan! Back then, I asked him to look after my Xiao Clan, and he let the current clan head of my Xiao Clan end up as a Da Dou Shi. Now he's even sent his daughter to infiltrate the Xiao Clan and covet our Xiao Clan's Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade!"

"That old fool! If I ever get the chance to see him again, I'll settle this score with him properly!"

Xiao Xuan said in a deep voice.

Xiao Yi gave an awkward smile. "Ancestor, Xun'er may indeed have had impure motives when she first came to our Xiao Clan, but now she can be considered family..."

"Besides, we're currently in Wutan City. With my strength, I'm afraid I can't take you to the Ancient Clan..."

Xiao Xuan merely shot Xiao Yi a cold glance.

"You little brat, then why aren't you cultivating harder!"

"Advance to Dou Sheng as soon as possible and take me to the Ancient Clan so I can settle accounts with that brat Gu Yuan!"

"Dou Sheng?!?"

"Ancestor, I'm not you. How could reaching Dou Sheng be something I can achieve just by wishing for it..."

Xiao Yi looked troubled.

He could not help complaining inwardly. How could one reach Dou Sheng just by talking about it?

Forget him—even someone like Gu Xun'er, with a divine-grade Dou Di bloodline, would need a long time to reach Dou Sheng.

Xiao Xuan lightly smacked the back of Xiao Yi's head.

"You foolish brat, do you think I'm just for decoration?"
