Nine Dragons Soaring Heaven Wings

Although Xiao Dongchen looked steady and composed, his somewhat youthful face made it clear that he had not yet come of age!

At his age, becoming a Dou Zhe would have already made someone an exceptional genius. Yet he seemed practically cheat-enabled, having directly become a Dou Ling and set foot on the path of the strong!

Even more terrifyingly, he had defeated a Dou Wang across realms with a single move. That calm, effortless appearance was simply beyond belief to them!

Thinking of all this, they finally did not dare utter another word. Some quietly swallowed, exchanging glances and seeing the same unease in each other's eyes. Their faces had long since gone pale with shock and cold sweat.

"This kid is unbelievable!"

Ruo Lin, who stood watching nearby, also had an intense look of surprise and bewilderment flash across her lovely face. She lightly licked her lips, the shock in her beautiful eyes impossible to conceal.

Even now, she could not believe that Elder Long had truly lost—and so decisively at that. This was far too dramatic. No one would likely believe it even if it spread.

Hearing Ruo Lin's exclamation, Xiao Mei and Xiao Ning behind her both shook their heads bitterly. As the outstanding younger generation of the Xiao Household, compared to him, they were truly as insignificant and helpless as ants.

Knocking down a Dou Wang powerhouse in one move—forget them, even their fathers would probably be dumbfounded if they saw it.

"This is his charm!"

Xiao Yu's eyes shone as she murmured dreamily. Her jade hand unconsciously reached for her sword hilt. Such a powerful young man seemed to have become a kind of faith to her. She only hoped that one day, she could fight at his side.

"Brother Chen, is this the real you?"

Xiao Yan, in the corner, also let out a soft sigh. He looked up at the strange blazing flames that still lingered in the sky, his heart filled with both astonishment and longing. His dark eyes sharpened, and his expression gradually grew resolute.

One day, I'll refine Heavenly Flames too, create Dou Techniques that belong to me, then catch up to you and roam the world proudly at your side!

"Brother Chen, that move truly made Xun'er's heart flutter!"

Seated in her chair, Xun'er was stunned for a moment at the sight. Then her eyes curved as she broke into a smile, like light clouds veiling the moon. A captivating gleam quietly bloomed in her limpid eyes.

As expected of the young man I like!

Looking at Elder Long, who had been blasted from the sky and sent crashing to the ground, Xiao Dongchen merely flicked his sleeve and stood with his hands behind his back. Then he looked teasingly at Ruo Lin, smacked his lips, and said, "I passed Elder Long's test, right?"

"You can't blame me for hitting too hard. He's a Dou Wang, after all. It's always better to be cautious."

Faced with the youth's question, Ruo Lin was rendered speechless in an instant, the strange look on her face growing even stronger.

He had done exactly as he said. He had truly used only one move, and he had won brilliantly!

As for hitting too hard, Elder Long probably would not go back and complain about that. Otherwise, he would lose every last shred of face.

"Ahem, yes. Since you passed the academy's test, this leave is specially approved for you. I'm sure the other elders will have nothing to say about it either."

After a light cough, Ruo Lin nodded with a bitter smile. She blinked, her face filled with helplessness and deep admiration.

She had truly broadened her horizons today. A legendary youth like this was likely unparalleled throughout the entire Dou Qi Continent!

"Hehe, then thank you, Instructor Ruo Lin."

Xiao Dongchen politely clasped his hands, glanced at Elder Long, who was still playing dead, and could not help smiling.

You wanted to put me in my place? I'll make sure you can't get back on your feet!

["Ding, congratulations, Host, for receiving Xiao Yan's supreme admiration. Protagonist Luck Value -999. Congratulations, Host, for receiving one Diamond Draw. Draw now?"]

Hm, an unexpected bonus?

Draw it. Make it quick!

["Ding, Diamond Draw opportunity consumed. Congratulations, Host, for obtaining a low-grade Heavenly Tier Dou Technique—Nine Dragons Soaring Heaven Wings!"]

["Note: This Dou Technique can not only help the Host cultivate a pair of wings before reaching Dou Wang, but can also merge with Dou Qi Transformation Wings after reaching Dou Wang. The Host may experience true speed and passion."]

["Additionally: Upon mastery, this Dou Technique comes with the soundwave Dou Technique—Nine Dragons Shaking Heaven Howl. Its power is unfathomable!"]

"Hm? What's this about?"

Upon hearing the system's reward, Xiao Dongchen raised a brow, greatly surprised. He then narrowed his eyes and asked meaningfully.

"I just defeated Long Aotian, and now you give me Nine Dragons Soaring Heaven Wings? System, did you do that on purpose or by accident?"

"The lottery was just a lie you used to fool me, right?"

["Pah! Such an amazing flying Dou Technique, and it even comes with a soundwave Dou Technique. You should be secretly celebrating after getting it! This system is tired and refuses to answer such an ungrateful question!"]

"Heh, look at you getting cocky. The Host is your boss, got it? Come out if you've got the guts and take a Great Desolate Prisoner's Finger from me. Let's see if I don't poke you to death!"

Those words actually angered Xiao Dongchen into laughter. What kind of wild system was this? It could not even tell who was boss.

["Ding, ugly. Rejected!"]

"Ding, your sister!"

Ignored by the system, Xiao Dongchen secretly raised his middle finger in contempt.

"Alright, it's getting late. Today's recruitment ends here."

"We'll be recruiting here for seven days. Xiao Dongchen, if you change your mind, we'll welcome you anytime!"

Still unable to accept such a monstrous student taking leave, Ruo Lin smiled and gently extended the olive branch again, though there was a trace of regret in her beautiful eyes.

"Sister Ruo Lin, I asked for leave precisely because I've thought it through, so stop agonizing over it."

"If you really miss me, you can visit the Xiao Household over the next few days."

With a smile at the corners of his mouth, Xiao Dongchen raised his brow and spoke leisurely, every bit the elegant gentleman.

"What do you mean, miss you? Pah, pah, pah!"

Hearing the youth's teasing words, two rosy flushes rose on Ruo Lin's cheeks. Her watery eyes flickered as she recalled him touching her face not long ago, leaving her unbearably shy and embarrassed.

"Oh, Sister Ruo Lin, don't listen to his nonsense!"

After giving Xiao Dongchen a slight glare, Xiao Yu hurried over and took Ruo Lin's slender hand, smiling as she persuaded her, "Rather than staying at the reception quarters, why not come to our Xiao Household? There are plenty of vacant guest rooms in the western wing. Then we sisters can get together as well."

Seeing Ruo Lin's flushed face, Xiao Yu did not think much of it. She only assumed that her instructor was thin-skinned and embarrassed after being teased.

"Uh, stay at the Xiao Household?"

Hearing this, Ruo Lin was somewhat stunned. She had never considered such a thing.

As her delicate brows furrowed, she glanced at the smiling youth. She only found him somewhat annoying—yet beneath that was a faint delight even she had not noticed.

"Yes. Being able to host an instructor from Jia Nan Academy is an honor for our Xiao Household. Besides, this Dou Wang Elder Long needs treatment too, doesn't he?"

Xiao Yan stepped forward with a faint smile and tried his best to persuade her. After all, this matter brought nothing but benefits. It could greatly enhance the Xiao Household's reputation, and they would also have a Dou Wang stationed there.

Damn it, they noticed me after all!

Kid, my injuries really aren't serious. Really!

If he could still use Dou Qi Transformation Wings, Long Aotian would surely have flown off on the spot. He did not want anything more to do with this mess.

When he had first heard that the Xiao Household had produced a monstrous genius and the academy had sent him over, he had been a hundred times unwilling. He felt they were lowering his status.

Who was he?

He was a dignified Dou Wang powerhouse, someone who could at least rank among the top twenty in the tiny Jia Ma Empire. Sending him to recruit a new student was like using a butcher's knife to kill a chicken!

He had thought that merely revealing a little of his aura would make the other party submit willingly.

So, to express his dissatisfaction, he had made such a flashy entrance. And what happened? He got blasted black-faced and was reduced to nothing!

If word of this got out, those old geezers would laugh at him for three years—no, at least ten!

He was truly defeated. This time, he had really suffered a massive loss!
