"You're... Xiao Yan!"
As Nalan Yanran's voice rang out, everyone in the Tournament Hall instantly fell silent.
The air froze. Only after several breaths did those present recover, their faces filled with shock.
"What?! Yan Xiao is Xiao Yan?!"
"Heavens! I feel like I'm dreaming!"
"Yan Xiao, the youngest fourth-rank alchemy master renowned throughout the Jia Ma Empire, the one expected to surpass Pill King Gu He, is actually Xiao Yan?!"
"Hiss... Unbelievable!"
"..."
In an instant, everyone in the Tournament Hall came to their senses and cried out in astonishment.
This was a revelation none of them had ever imagined.
They had never expected the champion of the Alchemist Tournament to be the Xiao Clan's third young master, who had made the Three-Year Agreement with the Misty Cloud Sect.
"Yan Xiao, Xiao Yan? So that's how it is!"
In the Tournament Hall, Jia Xingtian narrowed his eyes, a trace of shock showing as he said, "I never expected our young friend Yan Xiao to be the Xiao Clan's third young master."
"I heard that the Xiao Clan's third young master had regained his talent, but even I never imagined he could become this powerful. He stands among the best in both alchemy and Dou Qi. There is no young talent left in the entire Jia Ma Empire who can compare with him!"
Hearing Jia Xingtian praise Xiao Yan so highly, Yao Yue puffed out her cheeks beside him, a hint of annoyance tugging at her lips. "Grandpa, I'm very strong too, all right? If we're comparing strength, I wouldn't necessarily lose to Xiao Yan!"
Yao Yue's progress could now be called lightning-fast. She was already approaching the six-star Da Dou Shi realm, and with the Ten-Thousand-Year Vermilion Fruit Chen Xuan had given her, her potential would not run dry.
