Transmigrated into Battle Through the Heavens, Attribute Copy System!

Inside the Xiao Clan's main hall, several elders sat with grim expressions.

A teenage boy stood in the center of the hall, his arms pinned by several Xiao Clan disciples, leaving him unable to move.

Xiao Ning stood to one side with a smug look on his face. Pointing at the restrained boy, he said, "Elders, I personally caught him sneaking into my room. This Yellow-tier mid-level fighting technique was found on him. The culprit and the evidence are both here. I ask that the elders punish him severely!"

After saying that, Xiao Ning slapped a fighting technique manual onto the table, looking particularly self-righteous.

The First Elder seated at the head of the hall nodded. He was Xiao Ning's grandfather and the Xiao Clan's First Elder.

He sneered and turned his gaze toward Clan Leader Xiao Zhan beside him. "Clan Leader, you saw it yourself. Look what your good son has done."

"It would have been one thing if Xiao Yun was merely lazy in his cultivation, but now he has actually done something as shameful as theft. If word gets out, will the Xiao Clan have any face left?"

The restrained boy raised his head, confusion evident in his eyes.

His name was Xiao Yun. He was Xiao Zhan's fourth son and Xiao Yan's younger brother.

At that moment, his mind was in complete chaos, and he was utterly stunned.

A flood of memories that did not belong to him surged into his mind, and only then did Xiao Yun realize that he had transmigrated.

He had transmigrated into Battle Through the Heavens, becoming Xiao Zhan's son, Xiao Yun.

And Xiao Ning, who stood nearby wearing a smug expression, was the grandson of the Xiao Clan's First Elder—the same person from the original story who constantly targeted Xiao Yan.

The scene before him left Xiao Yun speechless. He had just transmigrated, and he was already saddled with such a huge false accusation?

"I didn't steal anything," Xiao Yun said.

"I never even entered his room. I have no idea how this thing ended up on me."

Xiao Ning immediately sneered when he heard that. "Hah, of course you won't admit it."

"But it doesn't matter. The witnesses and evidence are all here. Do you think a few excuses will fool everyone?"

The First Elder nodded as well, his face filled with the look of someone enjoying a show. "Clan Leader, see for yourself. Not only did your son steal something, he even dares to lie in front of so many elders."

"If we don't teach him a lesson today, what will become of him in the future?"

The other elders seated in the hall also chimed in, each wearing a contemptuous expression.

"Exactly. This sort of conduct absolutely cannot be tolerated."

"He shows no progress in cultivation, but he learns theft quickly enough. If he isn't properly punished, he may cause even greater trouble for the Xiao Clan in the future."

"I say we send him to guard the entrance of the clan's apothecary. That way he won't be an eyesore here, and it might temper his character."

Xiao Zhan's face was livid. He abruptly slammed a hand on the table and rose to his feet.

"Enough!"

His furious shout silenced the hall.

Xiao Zhan swept his gaze across the elders present, his voice low. "Although Xiao Yun has not been diligent in cultivation, based on what I know of him, he would never steal a fighting technique."

"Besides, you keep saying that the culprit and evidence were caught together, but did anyone personally see him enter Xiao Ning's room?"

Xiao Ning was displeased upon hearing this. "Clan Leader, what do you mean by that? Could I possibly be framing him?"

However, Xiao Zhan ignored Xiao Ning and looked at the First Elder instead. "First Elder, there are many suspicious points in this matter. I suggest we investigate it thoroughly first. We cannot simply condemn a child like this."

The First Elder sneered at Xiao Zhan's words. "Investigate it thoroughly? Clan Leader, you certainly protect your own son closely."

"The evidence is right here for everyone to see. How else do you intend to investigate?"

"Or are you planning to use your status as Clan Leader to forcibly suppress this matter?"

Xiao Zhan's expression grew even uglier. The First Elder was clearly forcing him to take a stance.

Just then, a set of footsteps came from outside the hall.

A young girl in a light green dress slowly walked in. Her features were exquisite and her temperament outstanding, while her steps carried a composure that did not match her age.

The newcomer was Xun Er.

The elders in the hall were all somewhat surprised upon seeing Xun Er. After all, she rarely involved herself in the Xiao Clan's affairs.

"Xun Er greets the elders."

"Xun Er, why have you come?" Xiao Zhan asked.

Xun Er glanced at the restrained Xiao Yun before turning to the elders, her voice calm. "Xun Er overheard a few things outside just now. There are some words I would like to say on Brother Xiao Yun's behalf."

The First Elder frowned. "What do you wish to say?"

"Brother Xiao Yun spent the entire afternoon with me today, helping me organize some books and documents."

"My maid can testify to this. He had no time to go to Xiao Ning's room, much less steal any fighting technique."

Everyone in the hall was stunned when they heard Xun Er's words, while Xiao Ning's expression changed instantly.

"Xun Er, don't protect him."

Xun Er gave Xiao Ning an indifferent look. "Cousin Xiao Ning, are you saying that I am lying?"

Those words immediately choked Xiao Ning. He truly did not dare say anything too excessive to Xun Er.

Although Xun Er's status in the Xiao Clan was only that of a guest on the surface, everyone knew that the force behind her was one even the Xiao Clan could not afford to offend.

The First Elder's expression, in particular, became rather unpleasant. He glanced at his grandson, then at Xun Er.

"Since Miss Xun Er is willing to testify for you, we will let this matter go."

"But Xiao Yun, you had better focus your thoughts on cultivation. Stop wasting your days on improper pursuits. The Xiao Clan will not raise a useless piece of trash."

After saying that, the First Elder rose and left with a flick of his sleeve. Seeing that the First Elder had departed, the other elders also left the hall one after another.

Xiao Ning, especially, shot Xiao Yun an unwilling look and glared fiercely at him before turning to follow them out.

After everyone had left, Xiao Zhan finally let out a sigh of relief. He looked at his son, then at Xun Er. "Xun Er, thank you for helping this time."

Xun Er gently shook her head. "Uncle Xiao Zhan, you give me too much credit. Brother Xiao Yun has often taken care of Xun Er in the past. This small matter is nothing."

Although he had avoided any punishment because of Xun Er, with his mere second stage Fighter's Qi cultivation, Xiao Yun could not help but curse inwardly. Damn it, what kind of disastrous start is this?

Xiao Yun could not help complaining in his heart. Other people transmigrated with unbeatable openings, but he had started off by taking the blame.

If Xun Er had not appeared in time to help him out, this matter probably would not have ended so easily today.

Still, when it came to Xun Er, Xiao Yun was somewhat surprised.

In the original story, Xun Er's heart had been wholly focused on Xiao Yan. She had always been indifferent toward the other Xiao Clan disciples, so why had she voluntarily stepped forward to testify for him?

Just then, a light screen suddenly lit up before Xiao Yun's eyes, and a voice sounded directly in his mind.

[Host successfully bound. Attribute Copy System activating... Activation successful.]

Xiao Yun froze for a moment, then felt overwhelming joy.

A system?

He hurriedly focused on the light screen before him, where lines of text appeared.

[Attribute Copy System: The host may use three copy attempts per day to copy attributes from any target. After a successful copy, the attribute may be applied to the host.]

[Note: The higher an attribute's quality, the lower the success rate of copying it. Please choose copy targets carefully.]

After reading the system's description, Xiao Yun became completely excited.

In other words, as long as he had a suitable target, he could directly copy someone else's strength and talent onto himself.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yun immediately sat up straight. He already had a candidate in mind for his first copy target.

The strongest person in all of Wu Tan City was undoubtedly Xiao Zhan before him. A Five-Star Da Dou Shi could practically run rampant throughout Wu Tan City.

If he could directly copy Xiao Zhan's strength, wouldn't he take off on the spot?

"Copy Xiao Zhan's Five-Star Da Dou Shi strength attribute!"

Xiao Yun silently recited the command in his heart, and the light screen before him immediately flickered.

[Copying target attribute: Five-Star Da Dou Shi strength... Copying... Copy successful!]

A surge of heat instantly flooded Xiao Yun's body. His Fighter's Qi began to rise rapidly, breaking through one bottleneck after another from the second stage.

Third stage Fighter's Qi, fourth stage, fifth stage...

The successive breakthroughs filled him with excitement.

When the surge of heat gradually subsided, Xiao Yun clenched his fist and felt the abundant power within his body. His heart pounded with exhilaration.

Five-Star Da Dou Shi.

In the blink of an eye, he had gone from a useless second stage Fighter's Qi cultivator to a Five-Star Da Dou Shi. With such strength, he could probably run rampant among Wu Tan City's younger generation.

Xiao Yun took a deep breath, unable to stop a smile from appearing on his face!
