Xiao Household Patriarch-Xiao Lin!

"Our clansman Xiao Ying Ninth Stage of Dou Qi!"

Following Xiao Zhan, Clan Chief Xiao Dongcheng announced the Dou Qi cultivation level of the second member of the Xiao Household.

After the second one, the third and fourth Xiao Household clansmen also walked to the center of the square and completed the test.

This time, a total of twenty-one members of the Xiao family, including Xiao Zhan, participated in the Xiao family's coming-of-age ceremony.

Although this is the climax of the Coming-of-Age Ceremony, it lasts for less than a quarter of the time spent in the Coming-of-Age Ceremony.

In the end, the Coming-of-Age Ceremony test for the Xiao Household was completely completed in less than half an hour.

Among them, the one with the highest cultivation level is naturally Xiao Zhan, who is Three-Star Dou Zhe.

Following that, two more Xiao Household clansmen reached the Ninth Stage of Dou Qi, four reached the Eighth Stage of Dou Qi, and nine reached the Seventh Stage of Dou Qi.

In other words, only five members of the Xiao Household family failed the test during this Coming-of-Age Ceremony.

This year's pass rate isn't great, but it's not bad either.

It's worth noting that in previous years, the pass rate was sometimes less than 50%!

The five clansmen who failed the test this year will no longer receive resources from the Xiao Household and will only be able to work as managers in some of the Xiao Household family's businesses.

Of course, they weren't completely without a chance.

If they prove to be capable and make contributions to the Xiao Household in the future, they will still be given important positions; the Xiao Household has not blocked their path.

Otherwise, why would they only say they were being sent out for training?

The end of the Coming-of-Age Ceremony can be a source of joy for some and sorrow for others.

Those who pass the test are naturally delighted, and vice versa.

As for those clan members who have passed the family coming-of- Coming-of-Age Ceremony test, they will have room for advancement as their cultivation level increases.

If you're determined, you can even challenge for the positions of Elder or clan leader!

Even if you can't become Elder or clan leader, you still have the opportunity to become Leadership of the Xiao Household family.

This is the current power structure of the Xiao Household.

Oh, right.

After the coming -Coming-of-Age Ceremony tests for everyone in the Xiao Household this year are completed, those who passed the tests can challenge each other once.

Therefore, several fierce battles ensued among the younger members of the Xiao Household!

However, because Xiao Zhan's Dou Qi was unparalleled, naturally no clansman would be foolish enough to challenge him and then go looking for a beating.

After all, apart from Xiao Zhan, the highest cultivation level among those who participated in the Xiao family's coming-of-age ceremony test this year was only two who reached the ninth level of Dou Qi, which is still quite a distance from Xiao Zhan's three-star Dou Zhe.

As for these childish games, the various forces that came to the Xiao Household family just treated it as a spectacle.

During this time, they would occasionally offer a comment or give the little ones a cheer.

It's fair to say that, in front of so many onlookers, the little ones from the Xiao Household family were all putting in their best effort.

Xiao Zhan wanted to show off, but no one challenged him, which made him feel awkward.

Although he also had a chance to challenge others, with his cultivation level of Three-Star Dou Zhe, he was too embarrassed to challenge other clansmen who were at most at the Ninth Stage of Dou Qi, wasn't he?

That's incredibly unethical!

Although Xiao Zhan wanted to show off in front of his father, he disdained to do something that would trample on his own people.

And so, the competition between these little ones lasted for about an hour.

Once all the challenges were over and the rankings for this test were determined, the Xiao Household's annual Coming-of-Age Ceremony finally came to a close.

Without a doubt, Xiao Zhan won first place!

Following closely behind were two clansmen who had reached the Ninth Stage of Dou Qi.

After that, there's no need to elaborate further.

With this, the Xiao Household's annual Coming-of-Age Ceremony came to an end.

Normally, after the coming- Coming-of-Age Ceremony, the guests who came to witness the ceremony would be treated to a good meal and drinks, and then they would all be sent off.

But this year's Coming-of-Age Ceremony in the Xiao Household is an exception!

Rather, the coming- Coming-of-Age Ceremony was merely an appetizer.

The real challenge is yet to come!

All the forces that received invitations from the Xiao Household were aware of this.

Therefore, the interest of all parties has not diminished, but rather increased!

Because they also knew that what followed was the real highlight for the Xiao Household!

"Ladies and gentlemen, today is a grand banquet for the Xiao Household. Here, I would like to express my gratitude to everyone for coming to the Xiao Household to witness this Coming-of-Age Ceremony."

However, this is not the end.

At this point, the clan leader Xiao Dongcheng's emotions changed slightly, so he paused for a moment.

All eyes were on him at that moment, and no one uttered a single word.

As a Dou Ling, to have attracted the attention of several Dou Wangs and a Dou Huang expert present, Xiao Dongcheng could consider himself to have no regrets.

This should be considered Xiao Dongcheng's peak moment as the head of the Xiao Household family!

But Xiao Dongcheng knew in his heart who had brought him to this point!

It can be said that without Xiao Lin, there would be no Xiao Household as we know it today, nor would he be at the height of his fame.

Of course, after his moment in the limelight, it was time for him to step down.

He is already very satisfied to have witnessed the Xiao Household reach where it is today.

"My Xiao Household has been established in the Jia Ma Empire for hundreds of years, and I, Xiao Dongcheng, have been the head of the Xiao Household family for more than forty years."

During this time, I would like to thank all my friends for taking care of my Xiao Household, which has made my Xiao Household what it is today.

However, by now, I'm starting to feel somewhat powerless, and it's time to hand over the position of patriarch of the Xiao Household to a younger generation."

At this point, Xiao Dongcheng couldn't help but recall his own life, which made him feel quite emotional.

He inherited the position of patriarch from the previous generation of Xiao Household family patriarch in his middle age, and then led the Xiao Household to develop into what it is today, albeit with great difficulty, in the Jia Ma Empire.

Now, it's time for him to hand over the position to the next generation of more outstanding individuals, just like the previous Xiao Clan chief.

"Xiao Lin is the most outstanding member of the next generation of my Xiao Household, and he is the one who has the support of the entire Xiao Household. Therefore, after a unanimous decision by the entire Xiao Household, Xiao Lin will inherit the position of the next generation of the Xiao Household family!"

Xiao Lin, come here.

As soon as Xiao Dongcheng finished speaking, everyone's attention shifted from him to Xiao Lin.

Seeing this, Xiao Lin, who already knew how the procedure would proceed, didn't hesitate and stood up immediately.

"Xiao Lin, congratulations!"

"Brother Xiao, congratulations!"

"From now on, you should be addressed as Xiao Clan Leader. Congratulations!"

The moment Xiao Lin stood up, all the surrounding forces offered Xiao Lin congratulations.

If they congratulated Xiao Lin earlier because of Xiao Zhan's excellence, now it's purely because of himself!

Faced with everyone's congratulations, Xiao Lin also clasped his hands in a fist salute to the various forces around him.

Immediately, Xiao Lin took a step forward and arrived at Xiao Dongcheng's side in the center of the square.

Looking at the upright Xiao Lin, Xiao Dongcheng, who had been wearing a serious face, finally showed a relieved smile.

With such an excellent successor, he has no regrets.

Next came another incredibly complicated ceremony for the succession of the clan chief.

Xiao Lin stood in the very center of the square, being manipulated by the clan leader Xiao Dongcheng and the Xiao Household servants.

Finally, a servant from the Xiao Household came up and draped a black robe over Xiao Lin.

Throughout this whole ordeal, Xiao Lin was like a puppet, manipulated by the clan leader and some clansmen for nearly an hour!

For Xiao Lin, this was even more tiring than fighting a Dou Zun expert!

Finally, the ceremony ended, and Xiao Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

"From this day forward, Xiao Lin is the new patriarch of my Xiao Household!"

Grasping Xiao Lin's right wrist, Xiao Dongcheng announced loudly.

"Greetings, Clan Chief Xiao Lin!"

As Xiao Dongcheng's announcement faded, all the members of the Xiao Household paid their respects to Xiao Lin in unison.
