Five Years Pass Quietly, Nine-Star Great Fighter

Time passed like the wind, and before he knew it, Luo Zixi had welcomed his sixth year living in the Dou Qi Continent.

For the Xiao Family, today was a special day. It was also the day Luo Zixi would return to Douluo Continent.

In the early morning, a slightly cool breeze brushed across Luo Zixi's handsome, bewitching face.

He slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, and his deep black eyes quietly opened.

Ding. Three months have passed. The host's level has been unconditionally increased by one.

In that instant, Luo Zixi felt a warm current spread through his limbs and bones, and his cultivation advanced by a full level.

"System, open my personal panel."

Looking at his current panel, Luo Zixi could not help feeling deeply moved.

His strength had now reached the level of a Nine-Star Great Fighter.

It was not that he had worked particularly hard. Mainly, the unconditional level increase every three months had practically dragged him forward.

Over five years, his Dou Qi level had risen by a total of thirty-six levels, with more than twenty of those levels coming from unconditional increases alone.

As his strength grew, he gradually noticed that the girls of the Xiao Family were becoming more and more strange!

He still remembered that night five years ago. It was the first time he had seen ill intent in a girl's eyes.

Aside from Xun'er, Xiao Yu and Xiao Mei, the Xiao Family's pair of lovely sisters, stared at him every day with eyes gleaming with a faint, eerie light.

In truth, it was not only them. Even Xiao Wu, who had already sacrificed herself to him, had been looking at him more and more strangely over the past two years.

(_|||)

As for Xiao Yan, the favored son of fate in the Dou Qi Continent, he had no plans to interfere with Elder Yao.

After all, he still needed to return to Douluo Continent to obtain soul rings and continue drawing the next traits. With the system, bringing along a burden like Yao Chen would be a restraint in itself.

He only had six traits now, yet he was already absurdly powerful. Once he reached godhood in Douluo Continent in the future, he would have thirty traits. Just thinking about it made him a little excited!

He inspected the Illusory Spirit Immortal Marsh within his Sea of Consciousness and found that Xiao Wu, that lazy rabbit, was still asleep.

But that was normal. Not sleeping in late was not Xiao Wu's usual style.

However, aside from Xun'er and Ling Ying, no one in the Xiao Family knew of her existence. After all, she was only a soul body now, and her situation was special.

As for himself, perhaps because his soul power had continuously risen under the system's enhancement, he was now a Level 49 Soul Ancestor without a third or fourth soul ring.

Perhaps due to the continuous increase in his soul power, his body had developed far faster than those his age in the Battle Through the Heavens World. He was now a full 1.78 meters tall, eighteen centimeters taller than the short Xiao Yan.

He rose and left his room. Outside, everything was cool and peaceful.

The Xiao Family's elite disciples were extremely demanding when it came to practicing martial arts and cultivating their own strength.

Unlike the Soul Master cultivation system of Douluo Continent, cultivators here spent most of their time, aside from their three daily meals, in dull and tedious training and cultivation.

The Xiao Family was one of the foremost major clans in Wu Tan City. Their territory was vast; the radius of the residential area for clan members alone stretched for several li, not to mention special structures such as the Pill Refinement Chamber and the Technique Pagoda.

Every building here was completely different, each with its own distinct characteristics.

Luo Zixi quietly passed several residences belonging to the Xiao Family's younger generation and discovered that, so early in the morning, some of them were already practicing various Dou Skills in their courtyards.

As for Luo Zixi's destination, it was naturally where Xun'er lived.

After all, she had given him an entire set of wood-element cultivation techniques, along with matching Dou Techniques and movement techniques. With the boost from his Heaven-Defying Comprehension trait, he could basically master any technique after practicing it once, which was incredibly convenient.

She had even given him plenty of medicinal pills for healing injuries and nourishing the soul. Though he did not really need them, it would have been awkward to refuse since she had offered them.

She was, after all, a bona fide 24K pure-gold little rich girl. As for the three thousand Gold Coins for repairing the house, he had offered them, but she had refused to take them.

And when he left that day, she had hugged him and taken advantage of him a couple of times, then stuffed a Black Card containing one hundred thousand Gold Coins into his hand.

He had never forgotten what Xun'er said to him five years ago, nor the murderous look Ling Ying had given him at the time.

Luo Zixi shook his head and stopped dwelling on it. However, when he was still several hundred meters away from Xun'er's residence, a clear yet faintly seductive voice reached his ears.

"Zixi Gege, where are you heading so early in the morning?"

At that moment, a pretty girl in a light pink dress with short pink hair ran out from the courtyard to Luo Zixi's left. After trotting over to him, she immediately wrapped herself around his arm without another word.

Her adorable little face was full of infatuation and adoration.

However, Luo Zixi was already used to this sort of thing. Girls flirted with him every day, but only three little girls actually dared to come up and throw themselves into his arms.

Xun'er, Xiao Yan's cousin Xiao Yu, and the last was Xiao Yan's clanswoman, the little green tea from the original story, Xiao Mei.

"Xiao Mei, you're up so early. It seems you've been cultivating diligently every day."

Luo Zixi helplessly reached out and patted her little head. In truth, Xiao Mei was already ten years old, only one year younger than him.

But she was only around one and a half meters tall, making her seem more like an adorably cute little girl next door in front of Luo Zixi.

"Hehe, not bad. I've already reached the sixth stage of Dou Qi. I've been working really hard at cultivating!"

At the mention of her cultivation, little stars seemed to sparkle in Xiao Mei's pale red eyes. After all, among those of her generation in the Xiao Family, her cultivation was already considered outstanding.

Luo Zixi chatted with Xiao Mei for a while longer before the little girl reluctantly released his arm.

"Mei'er still needs to keep cultivating hard. Zixi Gege, go take care of your business first. If there's a chance next time, Mei'er will treat you to tea."

Before leaving, Xiao Mei did not forget to give Luo Zixi another playful smile, and he returned it with a smile and a nod.

Xiao Mei was a very cute girl. Although her talent was not particularly good, she was extremely diligent and hardworking.

As for what happened in the original story... what did that have to do with him?

Whoever treated him well, he would treat well in return. That was his principle in life. It definitely was not because he was blinded by beauty or any of a whole series of other reasons.

I already said he wouldn't suppress his level. Rising from nothing to a Nine-Star Great Fighter in five years in the Battle Through the Heavens World was not slow. Anyone who says it is can get kicked out.

The protagonist was eleven years old this year.

Soul Power: 4 (guaranteed increase) × 5 years = 20, 20 + 29 (Xiao Wu's sacrifice letting the protagonist soar nine levels in the early stages isn't too much, right?) = 49
