Seventh-Stage Dou Qi!

"Hiss—"

"Brother Yang is this strong? He's only at the Sixth Stage of Dou Qi, yet he's completely suppressing Brother Yi!"

"Although Brother Yang's cultivation talent isn't that outstanding, his talent for battle skills is truly impressive!"

After Xiao Mingtian told Xiao Dayi to go over, the other members of the Xiao Household occasionally glanced in their direction.

When they saw Xiao Dayi and Xiao Yang both step onto the arena, they quickly gathered around to watch.

Seeing Xiao Yang actually suppress Xiao Dayi, they were immediately somewhat shocked.

But in the next moment, they saw something even more shocking.

Xiao Yang pressed his advantage and pursued Xiao Dayi.

Xiao Dayi reacted quickly. After retreating several steps and seeing Xiao Yang approach, he immediately unleashed a battle skill again.

This time, the wind-breaking sound produced by Xiao Yang's fist was even stronger than before.

The fist and palm collided, and Xiao Dayi was instantly sent flying!

Xiao Mingtian swiftly moved to where Xiao Dayi was flying and caught him, dispersing the force.

At that moment, even a trace of surprise flashed through Xiao Mingtian's eyes.

As one of the people in charge of the Battle Skill Hall, Xiao Mingtian was familiar with most of the Xiao Household's battle skills.

As a Dou Master of the Xiao Household, though he came from a branch family, he still had the right to cultivate High Yellow Tier battle skills.

Among the High Yellow Tier battle skills he cultivated was the Mountain-Splitting Fist that Xiao Yang had just used.

Xiao Mingtian was shocked to discover that, despite practicing the Mountain-Splitting Fist for over a decade, he still could not use it as well as Xiao Yang!

Xiao Dayi was the most shocked of all.

He had never expected Xiao Yang to be this strong!

If someone who did not know the situation saw that scene, they might have thought Xiao Yang was the one at the Seventh-Stage Dou Qi.

Xiao Dayi walked up to Xiao Yang with a bitter smile and gave him a thumbs-up.

"Cousin Xiao Yang, I'm convinced!"

"Your strength really is formidable!"

Xiao Yang's face was full of smiles, and a faint glimmer of excitement shone in his eyes.

He had known from the start what he had come here to do today.

So, while on the way here, he had used that Tier-One Double Experience Card.

For the next day, any experience he gained from defeating enemies, cultivating, refining pills, and so on would be doubled!

The moment he defeated Xiao Dayi, a system notification sounded in his mind.

"Congratulations, player. You defeated an enemy at the Seventh-Stage Dou Qi. Reward: 14 experience points and 70 shop points!"

Fourteen experience points were something he would need several days of cultivation to earn!

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Xiao Yang spoke politely to Xiao Dayi.

"It was mainly because Brother Yi let his guard down. Otherwise, I wouldn't have won so easily."

Xiao Dayi said nothing, merely shaking his head with a bitter smile.

He knew his own situation well. That had not been carelessness at all—he had simply been defeated head-on.

Still, he would not develop any negative feelings over it. It was perfectly normal to be less skilled than another.

After exchanging a few polite words with Xiao Yang, he stepped down from the arena.

There were now far more people around the arena than before.

After learning that Xiao Yang and Xun'er had come to the Battle Skill Hall, quite a few members of the Xiao Household had also arrived.

The Battle Skill Hall, which had originally contained only a handful of people, was now much livelier.

Moreover, many younger members of the Xiao Household were still hurrying over from afar.

Seeing Xiao Dayi step off the arena, Xiao Yang immediately began inviting others to spar.

However, after witnessing Xiao Yang's strength, only cultivators at the Seventh-Stage Dou Qi or above were willing to accept his invitation.

As time passed, more and more people arrived.

Xiao Yang also sparred with quite a few cultivators at the Seventh-Stage Dou Qi and Eighth-Stage Dou Qi.

To everyone's shock, Xiao Yang could not only defeat opponents at the Seventh-Stage Dou Qi—he could even defeat those at the Eighth-Stage Dou Qi!

After more than three hours, Xiao Yang had gained a full 248 points of Universal Experience and 1,240 points!

Basically, every younger cultivator at the Seventh-Stage Dou Qi or Eighth-Stage Dou Qi had sparred with Xiao Yang once.

They generally did not refuse Xiao Yang's invitations, since they were only sparring.

Of course, aside from members of the Xiao Household, several were descendants of Xiao Household guards.

Otherwise, there could not have been so many people sparring with Xiao Yang.

During that time, Xiao Yang had also fought a cultivator at Dou Qi, Ninth Stage.

Unfortunately, cultivators at Dou Qi, Ninth Stage were indeed powerful.

Xiao Yang already found it somewhat difficult to fight some cultivators at the Eighth-Stage Dou Qi. Against someone at Dou Qi, Ninth Stage, he had basically no hope of winning.

But he would not give up just like that.

Just as everyone thought Xiao Yang was about to leave, a suction force suddenly erupted from his body, and the surrounding energy of heaven and earth continuously surged into him.

The nearby members of the Xiao Household stared at the scene in shock. Naturally, they knew what it meant.

Xiao Yang had broken through!

They had not expected Xiao Yang to break through right there on the spot!

At that moment, Xiao Yang looked at the panel before him, visible only to him, and a hint of a smile flashed through his eyes.

[Player: Xiao Yang]

[Attribute: Fire (small amount of Wood)]

[Cultivation: Seventh-Stage Dou Qi (0+/100)]

[Soul Realm: Mid-stage Mortal Realm (2341+/100000)]

[Technique: None]

[Battle Skill: Mountain-Splitting Fist (High Yellow Tier, Great Perfection 1+/1000)]

[Universal Experience: 311]

[Shop Points: 12380]

Just then, he had directly spent 65 points of Universal Experience to raise himself to the Seventh-Stage Dou Qi.

He believed that, with his current strength, defeating a cultivator at Dou Qi, Ninth Stage should not be much of a problem.

The Tier-One Double Experience Card was still active, so Xiao Yang naturally wanted to farm more Universal Experience.

Breaking through directly to become a Dou Zhe and going to farm experience from others would not be realistic, but breaking through to the Seventh-Stage Dou Qi was perfectly reasonable.

Xiao Yang once again directly invited Chen Jiabao, the cultivator at Dou Qi, Ninth Stage who had defeated him earlier.

"Brother Bao, I've broken through now. Want to spar again?"

Chen Jiabao was the son of a Xiao Household guard captain, and that guard captain was a Dou Master.

That was why he was qualified to cultivate the Xiao Household's battle skills.

Chen Jiabao did not refuse. He also knew Xiao Yang's status in the Xiao Household, so he would not easily turn down Xiao Yang's request.

"Then let me help Young Master Xiao Yang test what level your strength has reached after breaking through."

As he spoke, Chen Jiabao gave a light leap and landed on the arena.

A trace of lingering shock remained in Chen Jiabao's eyes.

He had not expected Xiao Yang to break through on his own after their spar.

The shocked expressions on the faces of many Xiao Household members below the arena had yet to fade as well.

"Young Master Xiao Yang, please!"

Chen Jiabao assumed an opening stance toward Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang did not stand on ceremony and directly charged at Chen Jiabao.

He still used the Mountain-Splitting Fist.

Just as he reached Chen Jiabao, Chen Jiabao channeled Dou Qi into his legs, took several steps to the side, and instantly moved several meters away from Xiao Yang, evading his punch.
