"Wind Element Academy? And it fits my sect's wind attribute so exceptionally well!"
"Heaven protects the Misty Cloud Sect!"
Ge Ye suddenly clapped his hands together with his own, wild joy surging in his heart. Discovering a new inheritor for the sect should count as a supreme merit!
"Since Xiaotian received his inheritance from the dean of that Douluo Continent, I suppose the standards of that academy are probably not much inferior to those of our Dou Qi Continent's academies?"
"According to rumors, the outer academy vice dean of that continent-renowned Jia Nan Academy is a dignified Dou Huang expert, ha-ha-ha!"
Yet just as everyone focused all their attention on Yun Xiaotian, Xiao Lin stood silently behind Xiao Yan in a certain corner of the great hall.
When Xiao Yan was born fifteen years ago, Xiao Lin had condensed a Heavenly Dao Avatar and successfully integrated into the Xiao Clan.
Today, the children of fortune in the Xiao Clan were far more than just Xiao Yan alone. Being situated in an environment with such dense fortune truly accelerated his recovery speed quite a bit.
At this moment, Xiao Lin, who had been watching the show all along, narrowed his gaze slightly.
Under the blessing of the Heaven and Earth Origin Energy, he pierced through all the secrets on Yun Xiaotian's body.
[Target: Yun Xiaotian] [Cultivation: Five-Star Dou Zhe] [Opportunity: Gale Demon Wolf Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes] [Fortune Value: 53] [Gale Demon Wolf Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes: High Yellow-Tier Dou Technique. Utilizing wind-attribute Dou Qi to prematurely manifest faint wings and fuse them with the arms to execute consecutive slashes!] [The power and speed of the attacks will continuously increase as the moves stack, and after thirty-six consecutive strikes, the might is comparable to a Xuan-Tier Dou Technique!]
Seeing this, the corners of Xiao Lin's mouth curved into an elusive smile.
Although refining items from the Plane Torrent required consuming a certain amount of energy, not all otherworldly items were as powerful as the Double Pupils.
Some items from lower planes could be refined by Xiao Lin in an instant, then casually tossed out onto the continent.
Take the new Dou Technique that Yun Xiaotian had obtained, for instance.
Right as Xiao Lin stood off to the side, the aggrieved party Xiao Yan in the corner was tightly clenching his fists, turbulent waves already raging within his heart.
Teacher, is what these people from the Misty Cloud Sect say true? Is that so-called inheritor really that formidable?
The old man previously slumbered for many years, and ever since waking up, I've stayed with you in the Xiao Clan. The old man isn't all that clear on what has happened on this continent in recent years...
After a brief silence, a somewhat aged yet resonant voice resounded in Xiao Yan's heart, causing Xiao Yan to furrow his brows another three parts.
Yet immediately afterward, what that voice said allowed Xiao Yan to set his mind somewhat at ease.
However, it matters not.
Even if that brat from the Misty Cloud Sect truly obtained some Heaven-Tier Dou Technique, with his strength as a five-star Dou Zhe, he definitely cannot unleash it right now anyway!
As for ordinary Xuan-Tier or Di-Tier techniques-even intermediate Di-Tier ones-with your current abilities, there is really no need to worry.
Within the Bone Flame Ring, Yao Chen, whose soul was entrenched atop a stalk of withered wood, stroked his beard with a smile, seeming quite confident in Xiao Yan.
At this time, he showed no signs of soul weakness whatsoever, feeling instead that his condition was exceptionally full of vitality.
As for that so-called inheritor, Yao Chen lowered his head and glanced at the branch currently nurturing his soul, a vague guess forming in his heart.
Having received Yao Lao's answer, Xiao Yan felt somewhat more at ease. He raised his eyes and gazed with a gloomy expression at Yun Xiaotian standing in the center of the great hall, flames seeming to surge within his pupils.
Unable to suppress the humiliation and vexation in his heart any longer, his footsteps instantly grew light, and with a speed that left everyone present incredulous, he vanished from his spot in a flash and appeared behind the three members of the Misty Cloud Sect.
"Xi... Xiao Yan...?"
"Wh... what!"
"Why did Xiao Yan suddenly run over there? What is he trying to do?"
"How is his speed so fast! I didn't even see it clearly. Wasn't he at the third stage of Dou Zhi Qi?"
"I didn't notice it either..."
"Could he have lost his mind from anger? Don't do anything foolish, those are people from the Misty Cloud Sect!"
Just as the members of the Xiao Clan were utterly shocked by Xiao Yan's reaction-
In the corner from a moment ago, a softly smiling, graceful young girl sitting in a green dress watched the slender figure of the advancing youth. The brows that had been slightly furrowed a moment before now relaxed somewhat, revealing a faint smile.
Movement Dou Technique...
Brother Xiao Yan, are you finally willing to cast aside your disguise?
Following the young girl's gaze, one saw that Xiao Yan's pitch-black eyes were burning with raging flames, and a heavy, black colossal ruler had already been fiercely slung across his back!
"What a fine Misty Cloud Sect! What a toad trying to eat swan meat!"
As for Nalan Yanran, this nearly flawless betrothed of his, he had not originally harbored overly extravagant hopes.
Yet now that she had genuinely requested to break off this engagement with his father in broad daylight, and had furthermore been subjected to the utmost humiliation by her accompanying companions, his father's dignity as clan head was already trampled into the dust!
And in the mouths of outsiders, he, Xiao Yan, would also become a laughingstock-a toad that tried to eat swan meat, only to be trampled beneath the swan's feet...
"Misty Cloud Sect, you push people too far!"
"Since you insult me so, if Xiao Yan does not make you leave something behind today, then the label of trash will truly be set in stone..."
"Do you dare to fight me head-on!"
Before his voice had even faded, an aura at the Dou Zhe level abruptly erupted from Xiao Yan's body. Judging by those fluctuations of power, it was actually on par with that of Yun Xiaotian!
"Boom!"
The Heavy Xuan Ruler was fiercely thrust into the ground, and the stone slabs beneath his feet shattered in response!
Seeing the fierce and violent aura suddenly erupting from Xiao Yan, the members of the Xiao Clan all involuntarily drew in a cold breath, staring blankly at the youth before them, whose delicate and pretty face actually displayed a look of crazed ferocity.
"Xiao Yan... he's actually a Dou Zhe!"
"His talent recovered? When did this happen?"
"He's actually kept it hidden from us all this time? Were even the Testing Magic Stone Stele and everything deceived?"
"A fifteen-year-old Dou Zhe! Although inferior to his previous record at age eleven, he is still the Xiao Clan's number one genius!"
"Heavens, I was just mocking him this morning... The young clan head shouldn't hold a grudge, right!"
As Xiao Yan displayed his true strength, a look of profound relief unexpectedly surfaced on Xiao Zhan's face up above, as if he were not surprised by this at all.
Meanwhile, Nalan Yanran's beautiful eyes widened and her red lips parted slightly as she stared deeply at the ferocious-looking Xiao Yan before her, her fingers turning pale from the force of her grip.
"Hmph, playing the pig to eat the tiger right in your own family? Naive! So what if your talent has recovered? Do you still delusionally think you can make a comeback?"
Off to the side, amidst Ge Ye's shock, Yun Xiaotian felt a slight surprise, but immediately could not help sneering aloud, clearly not holding Xiao Yan in any regard.
In front of Nalan Yanran, he would absolutely never allow himself to fall behind another man, let alone Xiao Yan, who was betrothed to her!
"Since you're courting death, I won't stop you. But if you lose, honestly break off this engagement right here and make it public!"
He abruptly drew his long sword, pointing it with a chilling gaze straight at Xiao Yan.
"Hah, do you really think I care about this so-called genius fiancée of yours, Nalan Yanran?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yan let out a cold laugh, lowering his gaze slightly before raising it again. His eyes, carrying a trace of fierce hostility, locked directly onto Nalan Yanran and the others before him.
"Or perhaps you think that the so-called inheritor you keep talking about... is something only your Misty Cloud Sect can have!"
