I Got Careless and Didn't Dodge

Ling Quan lost, and lost humiliatingly.

To be honest, he himself was largely to blame for his defeat.

At the beginning, he relied on his higher cultivation level than Xiao Yan and looked down on him.

This prompted Xiao Yan to unleash the Heavenly Fire Three Mysterious Transformations, and he also delivered an elbow strike to Ling Quan.

Then, because they lost the initiative, they were suppressed and beaten by Xiao Yan from beginning to end.

Even though he transformed into Thunder Dragon to counterattack, Xiao Yan's Mystic Light Barrier defense combined with an explosion completely wiped him out!

In fact, if Ling Quan hadn't underestimated Xiao Yan from the start, even if Xiao Yan had been able to defeat him later, he would have had to pay a considerable price, and the battle wouldn't have ended so one-sidedly like it is now.

Don't forget, Xiao Yan's true cultivation level is ultimately only Nine-Star Battle King.

The duration of the Heavenly Fire Three Mysterious Transformations is also limited.

Otherwise, why would Xiao Yan have launched a swift attack first?

It should be noted that even so, after Xiao Yan defeated Ling Quan, his own Dou Qi was almost completely depleted.

The Heavenly Fire Three Mysterious Transformations temporarily boosted his cultivation level, but Xiao Yan's own Dou Qi remained unchanged.

First came the Heavenly Fire Three Mysterious Transformations, a secret technique, followed by the Eight Extremes Collapse, a High Xuan Tier technique. During this time, Xiao Yan also used a mid- Profound Rank Explosive Step to accelerate.

And then came another Low Earth Tier Flowing Flame Grappling Hand.

Then came three more Mid-Tier Earth Rank Nine-Dragon Flame Pillars and Mystic Light Barrier, and finally the Six Harmonies Wandering Body Ruler!

Do you think a Nine-Star Battle King could unleash so much Dou Qi to use so many Dou Techniques?

Therefore, although Xiao Yan's victory appears effortless on the surface, it was actually not easy for him.

If Ling Quan hadn't dragged things out from the start, Xiao Yan would probably have really exhausted all his Dou Qi.

At this moment, Ling Quan lay in a pit in the ground, his arms outstretched, staring blankly at the sky.

The current outcome is clearly something he never anticipated at the beginning.

He had originally planned to teach Xiao Yan a lesson, but unexpectedly, he got beaten up and started to question his existence!

How could he, a proud prodigy of the Gu Clan, be defeated by a fallen member of the Xiao Clan?

If this matter were to reach the Gu Clan, Ling Quan knew he would be laughed to death by his peers!

Of course, Ling Quan was actually quite unwilling to accept such a humiliating defeat.

In that brief moment lying on the ground, he already knew where he had gone wrong in this battle.

Ling Quan is confident that if both sides were to fight again at full strength, he wouldn't guarantee a win, but he certainly wouldn't lose so humiliatingly!

However, for now, he has lost, and that's that.

In front of his young mistress, Ling Quan couldn't possibly refuse to admit defeat!

In fact, Xiao Yan had already held back his power in his final attack.

Otherwise, that attack would have at least knocked Ling Quan unconscious, if not seriously injured. He's not like he is now, staring blankly at the sky.

After all, Xiao Yan's purpose was simply to teach Ling Quan a lesson; he didn't have any other intentions.

In that case, for Xiao Yan, defeating his opponent is enough.

"Call out"

"Thump~"

At this moment, Xiao Yan had already retracted his Dou Qi Wings, descended from mid-air, and quickly deactivated the Heavenly Fire Three Mysterious Transformations.

His face was also somewhat pale, clearly a result of excessive consumption of Dou Qi and the aftereffects of using the Heavenly Fire Three Mysterious Transformations.

After standing still and closing his eyes to regulate his breathing for a while, Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes.

What he saw was Xun'er's eyes, filled with both worry and pride for him.

"Brother Xiao Yan!"

Seeing Xiao Yan open his eyes, Xun'er also let out an excited shout.

It's clear that Xun'er is already taking on Xiao Yan's form...

Otherwise, she wouldn't have ignored Ling Quan lying on the ground, while Xiao Yan, who was only slightly exhausted, looked so worried.

But to be fair, in Xun'er's heart, Xiao Yan's importance was indeed more than a hundred times greater than Ling Quan's!

Looking at the elfin-like girl before him, Xiao Yan smiled.

"I won!"

Xiao Yan's words were perfectly reasonable.

"Yes, I knew Brother Xiao Yan was the best!"

The girl answered just as matter-of-factly!

The couple's public display of affection dealt another "critical hit" to Ling Quan, who was still lying on the ground!

"Tap tap~"

After a while, Xiao Yan slowly walked to Ling Quan's side, who had just propped himself up.

Looking at Xiao Yan approaching, Ling Quan's expression was incredibly complicated.

He actually lost to what he called a "down-and-out" person!

This is incredibly embarrassing.

But since things had come to this, he had nothing more to say.

"Brother Ling Quan, I was fortunate enough to be a step ahead in skill; please forgive my concesion."

At this moment, Xiao Yan humbly cupped his hands in greeting to Ling Quan and said...

Well, Xiao Yan is, after all, Lucky Guy.

"Phew~, a bet's a bet, Young Master, you win. Ask me anything you want to know! However, I don't have much time. Elder Gu Shan and the others are still waiting for me to take Miss Xun'er back."

Furthermore, everything about the Xiao Clan dates back a thousand years. Although I have read many of the clan's ancient texts, I cannot guarantee that everything I know is accurate!

After exhaling a breath of stale air, Ling Quan said with a hint of resentment.

Anyway, Ling Quan has already made up his mind: he must fight Xiao Yan again next time!

This time he was careless and didn't dodge!

It won't happen again next time.

Little did Ling Quan know that this was the closest he had ever been to Xiao Yan.

If there's a next time, he won't even have a chance to escape!

How could someone who has been defeated by Xiao Yan once possibly have a chance to catch up with him?

Meanwhile, looking at the unwilling Ling Quan in front of him, Xiao Yan revealed an indifferent smile.

What does it matter whether Ling Quan is willing or not?

Once the other party admits defeat, he can learn the secrets of the "Xiao Clan" that he wants to know from them!

As for whether the other party would continue to cause him trouble in the future, Xiao Yan didn't care.

So what if they come and beat us up every time?

Then, one asked a question, and the other answered.

Xiao Yan also learned a lot about the secrets of the former "Xiao Clan" from Ling Quan.

At the same time, Xiao Yan finally confirmed that the current Xiao Household is the former Xiao Clan!

Xiao Yan was still deeply shocked by his family's glorious past.

But he kept all of this to himself for the time being.

However, after the Gu Clan members leave, he will definitely have a good discussion with Yao Lao about the "Xiao Clan" matter.

"... That's about all I know about the Xiao Clan. Although there are still many secrets about the Xiao Clan from the past, they are not things I can access right now."

After telling Xiao Yan all the secrets about the Xiao Clan, Ling Quan helplessly shrugged and said...

Come to think of it, Ling Quan is only Dou Emperor now; how could he possibly uncover so many secrets about the Xiao Clan from back then?

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Brother Ling Quan. I'll look into the rest myself later!"

Xiao Yan did not intend to make things difficult for Ling Quan.

After all, he could tell that Ling Quan wasn't lying.

Moreover, the known secrets of the Xiao Clan are enough for him to digest for a while.

"Hehe, Brother Xiao Yan, you haven't forgotten me, have you? When we get back to the clan, I'll investigate everything you want to know!"

Just then, Xun'er suddenly came to Xiao Yan's side with a smile and said...

Regarding the Xiao Clan, Xun'er simply hadn't searched the clan's premises before, but that doesn't mean she didn't have the right to!

She would do anything for her Brother Xiao Yan!
