After a while, Xun Er arrived outside Xiao Yun's room and raised her hand to knock on the door.
Xiao Yun opened the door and was not particularly surprised to see Xun Er.
"Brother Xiao Yun, I came to thank you," Xun Er said.
"I've already taken that Spirit-Breaking Pill. Its effects were even better than I imagined. I'm already a Six-Star Dou Zhe now."
Xiao Yun waved his hand. "It's nothing. I told you I wouldn't let you spend your money for nothing."
Hearing that, Xun Er nodded and added, "Oh, right. I ran into Uncle Xiao Zhan on the way here. He knows about this too."
When Xiao Yun heard that, he showed no particular reaction and merely gave a quiet hum.
He was not surprised by that. As a Five-Star Da Dou Shi, it would have been effortless for Xiao Zhan to detect the changes in Xun Er's Dou Qi.
So what if he knew? Xiao Zhan would have found out sooner or later anyway.
However, Xun Er was somewhat surprised by how calm he was, though she did not ask any further questions.
After chatting at the doorway for a few moments, Xun Er said it was getting late and turned to leave.
Once Xun Er had left, Xiao Yun closed the door and returned to his room. Sitting on his bed, he was in an exceptionally good mood.
He had long known how effective a sixth-rank pill would be, but having Xun Er personally come to thank him still felt rather nice.
Besides, even though Xiao Zhan knew about it, given his personality, he would not spread the matter around. At most, he would find a time to ask Xiao Yun a few questions.
In the blink of an eye, the night passed.
The next morning, just after waking up, he saw a notification from the system panel appear before his eyes.
[Daily copy attempts have been refreshed. This entry will be randomly drawn. Confirm draw?]
Xiao Yun rubbed his eyes and sat up, anticipation rising in his heart.
The last random draw had given him the Sixth-Rank Alchemist entry. He wondered what this one would bring.
"Confirm draw."
The light screen before him immediately began to flash.
[Randomly drawing entry... Drawing... Draw successful!] [Congratulations, Host! Successfully copied: Xiao Yi Xian, Woeful Poison Body entry!]
The moment he saw the reward entry on the system panel, his expression immediately became excited.
Xiao Yi Xian?
Woeful Poison Body?
That was a special constitution so terrifying it could be considered monstrous in the original story!
And once this constitution was cultivated to the later stages, it would become an utterly heaven-defying existence, capable of reaching Dou Zun and even higher realms.
However, this constitution was not without its flaws. One had to continuously devour highly toxic substances to increase one's strength, and without a solution, it could even harm its owner in return.
Still, no matter what, it was undeniably a top-tier talent entry. Even across the entire Dou Qi Continent, it could be considered among the very best.
Very soon, Xiao Yun felt the additional, peculiar power within his body, and his feelings became somewhat complicated.
Although the Woeful Poison Body was indeed powerful, he would have to use it with great caution.
But that was a matter for later. He did not dwell on it further and simply tidied himself up.
He was preparing to head to the clan hall and pay his respects to his father.
As he walked, he remained in an excellent mood, having just drawn the Woeful Poison Body entry reward.
Yet unexpectedly, halfway there, he saw someone he found deeply annoying.
It was Xiao Ning.
The instant Xiao Ning saw Xiao Yun, a hint of coldness flashed through his eyes, and he stepped directly into Xiao Yun's path.
"Well, if it isn't our Young Master Xiao Yun? What's this? Not stealing today, so you've decided to pay your respects to the Clan Chief instead?"
Xiao Yun could not be bothered to respond and simply walked past him.
However, Xiao Ning shifted sideways again and continued blocking the way.
"What, feeling guilty?"
"I'm telling you, Xiao Yun, don't think that just because Xun Er protects you, there's nothing I can do to you."
"Just you wait. Sooner or later, you'll get what's coming to you."
At last, Xiao Yun stopped and lifted his eyes to glance at Xiao Ning.
This Xiao Ning truly was like a fly, buzzing around his ears all day and being endlessly irritating.
"Get lost."
After uttering that single word, Xiao Yun continued forward.
When Xiao Ning heard it, his expression blanked for a moment before his face gradually darkened.
"What did you say? You told me to get lost?"
"Xiao Yun, you've got some nerve! A piece of trash with only Two-Stage Dou Qi dares speak to me like that?"
Xiao Ning was trembling with rage. He had never imagined that Xiao Yun would dare show him such disregard.
Back then, this piece of trash would always lower his head and take a detour whenever he saw Xiao Ning. Who would have thought that today, he would dare tell him to get lost?
"Xiao Yun, do you dare accept my challenge?"
"I'll teach you a lesson in front of everyone at the clan square and let you learn what rules are!"
Xiao Ning's voice grew louder and louder, drawing the attention of several passing Xiao Clan disciples.
After a moment, Xiao Yun turned to look at him, finding it rather amusing.
A challenge?
Someone who was not even a Dou Zhe wanted to challenge him, a Five-Star Da Dou Shi?
But on second thought, he truly could not reveal his current strength too openly, or it would invite trouble.
Still, dealing with trash like Xiao Ning, who was not even a Dou Zhe, was more than easy enough for him.
"You want to challenge me?"
"What, are you scared now?" Xiao Ning sneered.
"Now you know fear? Too late! If you don't dare accept my challenge today, don't blame me for bringing up your theft at the clan assembly again!"
Xiao Yun could not help but laugh when he heard that.
"Fine. I accept."
"At the square. We're going now."
After saying that, Xiao Yun did not wait for Xiao Ning to react. He turned and headed directly toward the square.
Xiao Ning stood there blankly for a moment, mainly because he had not expected this piece of trash to actually accept his challenge.
But soon afterward, a sinister grin appeared on his face. Just wait. I'll show you what I'm capable of.
Xiao Ning hurried after him, and the two soon arrived at the clan square, one in front of the other.
At that time, many Xiao Clan disciples were already there for morning training. Seeing the two approach, they all stopped.
"Isn't that Xiao Ning and Xiao Yun? Why are they together?"
"I heard Xiao Yun stole Xiao Ning's Dou technique a couple of days ago and got reprimanded by the First Elder. He's probably here to cause trouble."
"Xiao Yun only has Two-Stage Dou Qi, right? Xiao Ning is nearly a Dou Zhe already. Isn't this just asking for a beating?"
Before long, discussions rose from all around. Xiao Ning, however, became even more pleased with himself after hearing them.
He stood in the center of the square, looking at Xiao Yun opposite him with an expression of utter confidence.
"Xiao Yun, it's not too late to admit defeat now."
"Kneel and kowtow to me three times, then promise to stay away from Xun Er from now on. I'll spare you today."
Xiao Yun stood across from him, looking at Xiao Ning's smug face, and replied indifferently, "You sure talk a lot. Are we fighting or not?"
Xiao Ning's expression instantly darkened at those words. Without further nonsense, he circulated his Dou Qi and charged at Xiao Yun.
