The Ceremony Begins

After Xiao Lin and the others took their seats, all they had to do was wait.

However, during this time, Xiao Yan could feel that the number of eyes focused on him from all around was definitely more than two.

Among them were people from Gu Clans, as well as people from other Emperor Clans...

These gazes were varied, some malicious, some probing, some provocative.

However, Xiao Yan remained calm throughout.

His composure, unfazed even in the face of a collapsing mountain, left those around him somewhat helpless.

"Ha, if I do nothing today, let's see what you can do to me?"

Xiao Yan thought to himself.

He loves it when people look at him with an expression that says, "You're annoyed with me, but you can't do anything about it."

Xiao Yan thought this way not because he was afraid.

After all, after Gu Yuan spoke up yesterday, the older generation of the Gu Clan naturally dared not make things difficult for Xiao Yan anymore.

However, it's perfectly fine for peers to challenge Xiao Yan to a duel.

However, this is, after all, the territory of the Gu Clan!

He simply couldn't possibly defeat all the Gu Clan's prodigies in a one-on-one battle!

Whether he wins or not is another matter, he's exhausted!

Therefore, this time, Xiao Yan only plans to quietly participate in the Gu Clan's coming -Coming-of-Age Ceremony and resolutely avoid causing any trouble.

However, sometimes, you can't just stay out of trouble if you don't want to cause it.

Because someone will actively seek out trouble with you!

"Brother Xiao Yan, you'd better be careful today..."

Just as Xiao Yan made up his mind not to cause trouble, Xun'er's voice quietly rang in his ear.

"Hehe, don't worry, Xun'er, I definitely won't cause any trouble today!"

Hearing Xun'er tell him to be careful, Xiao Yan gave her a reassuring look as he spoke.

However, the worry in Xun'er's eyes did not disappear.

Thinking of the ridiculous rules of the Gu Clan Coming-of-Age Ceremony, Xun'er felt quite sorry for Xiao Yan.

"Brother Xiao Yan, no, actually there's something I want to remind you. At today's Gu Clan Coming-of-Age Ceremony, all the Gu Clan disciples who participated in the bloodline test have an opportunity to challenge others."

The scope of this challenge includes everyone who came to the Gu Clan to witness the ceremony...

Xun'er looked at Xiao Yan somewhat shyly and said...

She could almost imagine how many challenges her Brother Xiao Yan would face later because of her.

At the same time, as Xun'er finished speaking, Xiao Yan was completely dumbfounded.

No, is that true?

This rule is a bit unfair to those invited to the Gu Clan to witness the ceremony!

He said that all the forces invited by the Gu Clan this time sent people who were all Dou Zun experts.

So that's what they were doing to guard against this?

Of course, under normal circumstances, people in the Gu Clan who participate in Coming-of-Age Ceremonies rarely challenge outsiders.

However, this time is different.

When their own goddess-like young lady falls for an outsider, how could the younger generation of geniuses of the Gu Clan not be united in their hatred?

Therefore, the situation that will soon follow is almost predictable.

"Xiao Yan, hang in there! Your big brother will always be there for you!"

"That's right, your second brother will support you too!"

At this moment, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li offered their younger brother words of encouragement.

"Haha, Brother Xiao, you'd better pray for good luck from now on."

"Xiao Yan, you could actually refuse this kind of challenge."

This was Lei Guang's gloating "blessing" and Lei Ya's suggestion.

Xiao Yan ignored Lei Guang's "blessing".

As for Lei Ya's suggestion...

With so many people in front of him, he seemed unable to find a way to refuse!

Moreover, Xiao Yan also knew that if anyone challenged him, it would only be because of Xun'er.

So, how could he refuse for Xun'er's sake?

"Young Master Xiao Yan, I'll be cheering you on!"

"Sure enough, Xiao Yan, it seems like trouble follows you wherever you go!"

This is Qinglin's sincere blessing and the little medical fairy's helpless complaints.

While accepting Qing Lin's blessing, Xiao Yan awkwardly touched his nose in response to Xiao Yi Xian's teasing.

"Tsk tsk, Brother Xiao's treatment is truly enviable!"

"Brother Xiao, I understand how you feel!"

These were the teasing words spoken by Lei Mo and Lei Zhen, who had recently become acquainted with Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan: "..."

If you're envious, why don't you take my place then?

And Lei Zhen, what do you understand? Didn't you see that Lei Ya didn't even want to give you a glance?

Xiao Yan mentally complained while rolling his eyes at the two of them.

But at this moment, Xiao Yan already knew what awaited him.

However, since he can't avoid it, he will turn the pressure into motivation!

"Since the Gu Clan has this rule, then I'll accept it! I'd like to see who dares to compete with me for Xun'er!"

At this moment, Xiao Yan spoke with an overwhelming air of dominance.

Seeing this, Xun'er looked at him and her beautiful eyes sparkled with excitement.

As for Xiao Lin and the others, who were elders, they simply smiled and didn't say anything more.

Xiao Lin never interfered in the rivalry among young people.

If Xiao Yan, who has been significantly strengthened compared to the Original Work, still can't pass the test of the younger generation of geniuses from the Gu Clans, then he wouldn't expect him to be able to break through to the Dou Emperor level.

As people began to fill the surrounding areas while they waited, the Gu Clan's Coming-of-Age Ceremony was finally about to begin!

Thump!

An ancient bell suddenly rang out across the land, its resounding sound spreading in all directions, finally dissipating throughout the vast mountain range.

"The time has come, let the ceremony begin..."

After the bell tolled, a vast yet calm voice suddenly emanated from the Void Space. The terrifying pressure contained within that voice caused many people in the square to gasp.

Clearly, the one who spoke was a Dou Sheng Expert!

However, in the surrounding Void, only their voices could be heard, but their figures could not be seen.

Seeing this, the unknown Gu Clan Dou Sheng Expert was probably not the one presiding over the Gu Clan Coming-of-Age Ceremony.

As the resounding voice gradually faded, three solemnly dressed Gu Clan Elder rose from their seats not far away and entered the center of the square.

At this moment, there are already many props there.

The Coming-of-Age Ceremony of the Gu Clan was quite complicated.

In the Gu Clan, only those who underwent Coming-of-Age Ceremony could be considered to have fully matured.

Only after the ceremony can these young people truly become the core of the clan, and even marriage can only take place after the Coming-of-Age Ceremony is completed.

Since many powerful families also have so-called Coming-of-Age Ceremonies, it doesn't seem strange.

It's worth noting that the Xiao Household's annual Coming-of-Age Ceremony is already incredibly complicated.

How simple could the Coming-of-Age Ceremony of this Gu Clan, held only once every twenty years, possibly be?

Therefore, Xiao Lin even secretly wondered if the reason why the other Emperor Clans did not send any powerful Clan Elders was because they too could not endure such a lengthy ceremony.

If Xiao Lin hadn't come to the Gu Clan with other purposes, he wouldn't have wanted to participate in such a tedious Coming-of-Age Ceremony.

As for the Gu Clans, none of their Dou Sheng Experts showed up directly.

However, Xiao Lin could sense that there were many Gu Clans ' Dou Sheng Expert hidden in the surrounding Void!
