Fighting: Xiao Yan at full level, leading the whole match

Chapter 147 Prosperity and Reward

Walking on the bustling streets, feeling the growing power of Wutan City, Xiao Yan slowly revealed a smile.

Ever since the imperial family awarded Wutan City to the Xiao family, with the help of the Xiao family's various advantages and resources, Wutan City has become more and more prosperous in recent years and is increasingly becoming a first-tier city in the empire.

Because of the cover of Xiao Yan's master, the Xiao family no longer has to hide too much of their strength.

Over the years, Xiao Zhan has gradually demonstrated his rapidly improving strength.

Becoming a Dou Wang all of a sudden is indeed a bit scary, but if one can gradually become a Dou Wang over a period of two years, it is not something that is difficult to understand.

What kind of influence a Dou Wang strongman has in the empire is something that others would probably know very well even if they don't need to be told.

As they walked forward with the jumping little Zi Yan, people on the street looked at the two young people with some curiosity.

Judging from the appearance of these two people, they should be brother and sister, right?

The young man was obviously a man of extraordinary bearing. Although his face was still a little too young, his temperament already revealed the demeanor of a superior.

This kind of temperament made his originally handsome face even more charming.

As for the little girl, she was so cute that people couldn't help but want to tease her.

The same curious looks also came from the two guards at the gate of Xiao family manor.

The Xiao family is indeed much wealthier nowadays. The great fighting master who used to be the pillar of the family has now become the captain of the guard at the gate.

It seems that with Liu Panlong's constant supply of elixirs in the past two years, the strength of the other members of the Xiao family has improved significantly even though they have not activated the Dou Emperor bloodline in their bodies.

When the two captains saw Xiao Yan and Zi Yan, their initial looks were indeed filled with curiosity and smiles.

However, after watching the young man with extraordinary demeanor getting closer and closer to the family gate, they instinctively felt that something was wrong.

When Xiao Yan was about to walk in front of the two of them, the two guards looked at each other, and finally they were startled as if struck by lightning. Then they quickly stepped forward and looked excitedly at Xiao Yan, who was almost a young man in front of them.

"Master Xiao Yan, is it really you?"

"Master Xiao Yan, you are back in the family!"

The two guards glanced at Xiao Yan's face intently and asked uncertainly.

In the two years since leaving the Xiao family, Xiao Yan's body has completely grown up. Not only is he half a head taller than before he left, but his facial features have also become more robust.

Of course, although there are some changes, it is not difficult for people who are familiar with Xiao Yan to distinguish them. After all, except for a few special cases, the outlines of his facial features have already been formed in his youth.

However, Xiao Yan's temperament of a superior person has become more and more obvious in the past two years as his face has become more mature.

So much so that the two Xiao family guard captains did not dare to recognize him at first when they saw him from afar, and only dared to recognize him when he came closer.

"Haha, the two uncles have made great progress in their cultivation over the past two years. They have both reached the Grand Fighter level."

Xiao Yan looked at the two people in front of him with a smile on his face.

"It's all thanks to the young clan leader's blessing. If it weren't for the young clan leader, we two wouldn't have the chance to reach the level of a Grand Fighter Master in this lifetime."

The two of them smiled and invited Xiao Yan into the family.

Soon, with the spread of several guards, the news of Xiao Yan's return also spread rapidly. When they learned that Xiao Yan, the legendary figure of the Xiao family, had returned, the entire Xiao family was in an uproar at this moment.

"Haha, my Qilin is back!"

The moment he saw Xiao Yan, Xiao Zhan's eyes were already slightly red. He looked up and down at Xiao Yan, who had undergone a great change, with his tiger eyes, and his hand involuntarily patted Xiao Yan's shoulder.

"Well, it seems that you have improved a lot in the past two years."

Hearing Xiao Zhan's words, Xiao Yan couldn't help but look at Xiao Zhan with a smile.

"Father's cultivation has improved significantly in the past two years. He is now a Dou Wang strongman."

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Xiao Zhan couldn't help but smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"If it weren't for the means you provided, how could your father have reached the level of Dou Wang now?"

What Xiao Zhan said was true. If Xiao Yan had not activated his Dou Di bloodline and provided him with a lot of resources, with Xiao Zhan's original training speed, it would have been difficult for him to improve his strength by one star in a year.

In response to Xiao Zhan's words, Xiao Yan just chuckled softly.

When his soul scanned Xiao Zhan, he knew that Xiao Zhan's current strength was probably around the two-star Dou Wang level. It must have taken him half a year to break through to the Dou Wang level.

With Xiao Zhan's current strength, plus the intermediate earth-level martial arts and fighting skills given to him by Xiao Yan, no one below the five-star Dou Wang should be able to do anything to Xiao Zhan.

And if he activates the clan emblem at the critical moment, no one below the Douhuang level should be able to threaten Xiao Zhan. Even if he cannot defeat him, escaping should not be a problem.

"I just don't know how strong the eldest and second brothers are now."

There was a hint of anticipation on Xiao Yan's lips.

At this time, Xiao Zhan finally turned his gaze past Xiao Yan and looked at the little loli with purple twin ponytails behind Xiao Yan.

"Who is this little girl? She's very cute."

Xiao Zhan was a little curious. The little girl that Xiao Yan brought back was so adorable. Her delicate and pretty appearance could make most people love her.

However, in response to his gaze, Zi Yan frowned slightly and looked at Xiao Zhan with some displeasure.

"Don't treat me like a child. Let me tell you, I may be older than you!"

Zi Yan waved her little fist at Xiao Zhan threateningly, and a breath of energy slowly flowed from her body, causing Xiao Zhan's eyes to widen instantly.

"This, this is the aura of a peak Dou Wang!"

Xiao Zhan looked at Zi Yan in disbelief. He thought his son was incredible enough, but the ten-year-old girl in front of him seemed even more terrifying.

Seeing Xiao Zhan's surprised look, Zi Yan smiled triumphantly, and then the next moment she was hit on the head.

"This is my father, you have to call him uncle."

Xiao Yan looked at the little girl with displeasure. Zi Yan glared at him with some dissatisfaction, but after thinking of the temptation of the Transformation Pill, she still smiled obediently at Xiao Zhan.

"Hello, Uncle Xiao."

"This is a cheap sister I found at Canaan College. Her name is Zi Yan. Father, please don't underestimate her. Her true form is a magical beast, and an extremely formidable one at that."

Xiao Yan smiled and rubbed Zi Yan's head. Hearing this, Xiao Zhan couldn't help but smile, but the look he gave Zi Yan was a little more fearful.

"I have to tell the family members in advance, don't tease this little girl as if she were an ordinary little girl."

Xiao Zhan quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and then began to instruct his servants to hold a dinner.

Xiao Yan is the key to the rise of the Xiao family. He is the young patriarch of the Xiao family and the future of the Xiao family. His return, in addition to having a family meaning for his father Xiao Zhan, is of great significance to the Xiao family.

Therefore, many members of the Xiao family who had been in a state of hard training and dormancy in the past two years were excited at this moment.

Soon, many powerful members of the Xiao family gathered together.

Xiao Yan's return made this family banquet extremely grand.

Seeing everyone like this, Xiao Yan didn't want to spoil everyone's interest, and even took out some of the remaining Blood Demon Beef from Zi Yan's rations.

Although everyone didn't know what kind of monster flesh and blood this was, just from the moment it entered their stomachs, they felt the tremendous energy nourishing their bodies and they knew that the monster flesh that Xiao Yan took out was not simple.

During this meeting, Xiao Yan saw that those elders had already been promoted to the Dou Ling level, and were considered truly powerful in this small Jia Ma Empire.

All of this, apart from the fact that Xiao Yan left many Xuan-level martial arts and fighting skills to the family when he left, was also due to the contribution of a hero who followed him.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan looked at Liu Panlong who was sitting in the corner with a smile.

"well done."

Xiao Yan finally looked somewhat satisfied with Liu Panlong's performance.

In the two years since he left home, this old guy still acted as a tool, refining a large number of pills for the Xiao family, earning a steady stream of wealth, and single-handedly improving the strength of the entire Xiao family.

Although part of the reason was that Xiao Yan left him many prescriptions for improving his strength before leaving home, Liu Panlong’s personal efforts cannot be ignored.

Apart from anything else, the fact that he has been promoted to a fifth-rank alchemist in the past two years is enough to show that he has worked very hard.

"Without the Young Master's gift, I would not have been able to achieve what I have today."

Liu Panlong did not show the slightest bit of pride in response to Xiao Yan's praise, as if everything he did was just what he should do.

This made Xiao Yan even more satisfied.

Next to Liu Panlong, the burly man in white, Bai Han, had a hint of excitement in his eyes after seeing Xiao Yan.

However, when he saw Zi Yan beside Xiao Yan, there was a hint of weirdness and fear in the depths of his tiger eyes.

Similarly, Zi Yan looked at Bai Han with curiosity and surprise.

"I didn't expect that your Xiao family actually has a seventh-level magical beast in charge."

Zi Yan took a big bite of meat and looked at Xiao Yan with a smile.

"This guy was the former overlord of the Monster Mountain Range. He is the descendant of the Mysterious White Tiger. Although he is not as powerful as you, he is not an ordinary creature either."

Xiao Yan said with a smile.

"Xuanming White Tiger, that is indeed a rare bloodline."

Zi Yan nodded, looking very old-fashioned, as if she didn't take this rare bloodline seriously at all.

After a sumptuous dinner, many members of the Xiao family felt their blood boiling after eating the Blood-Transforming Demon Bull’s monster meat, and they said goodbye to Xiao Yan one after another and left.

Most of them have not even reached the Dou Ling level, so if they eat too much, it will be bad for their health.

Many children's faces turned red and steam came out of their heads after just one bite.

Therefore, they all went back to digest the huge amount of energy. After everyone said goodbye, Xiao Yan first took Bai Han and Liu Panlong away to chat, and by the way, he found a suitable place for Zi Yan to live.

The Xiao family has become increasingly powerful in the past two years. The entire manor has been renovated and is more grand and quiet than before.

At this time, Zi Yan looked at Bai Han beside her with an air of contempt.

"Big guy, I heard that your true form is the Mysterious White Tiger?"

Bai Han was not at all dissatisfied with Zi Yan's appearance. He just nodded and said with a smile: "Indeed, I wonder what kind of true body you are."

As early as the dinner just now, he had sensed Zi Yan's extraordinary qualities, but he could only vaguely sense that the other party was a demon beast and the level of her bloodline was very terrifying, but he could not see through her true background.

Moreover, from the way Xiao Yan treated her, it could be seen that his master seemed to be very fond of this little girl.

Therefore, Bai Han was quite respectful to Zi Yan.

"My true self?"

Zi Yan looked at Xiao Yan in confusion, but she had no idea what kind of magical beast her true form was.

She only knew that her bloodline was definitely very powerful, but she had never found a monster similar to her in the many monster illustrations at Canaan Academy over the years.

Just when she was confused, Xiao Yan's voice sounded in her ears.

"This girl's true form is a pure ancient Taixu dragon, Bai Han, don't even think about comparing yourself with her."

Xiao Yan looked at Bai Han with a smile, but what he said made Bai Han's face change drastically. Only Liu Panlong and Zi Yan on the side were still a little confused.

"Taixu Ancient Dragon, this name sounds very domineering. Xiao Yan, you actually already knew what kind of demon beast my true form is."

Zi Yan was also slightly stunned, and then she asked excitedly: "Then do you know where my people are?"

Looking at the little girl's excitement, Xiao Yan felt sorry for her again in his heart, and then he rubbed her head helplessly.

"Of course I know. I even know where your family is. When I become stronger in the future, I will take you to find your family."

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, the excitement in Zi Yan's eyes became even brighter, but in the blink of an eye, it became a little dim.

"But in all these years since I was born, my family and tribesmen have never come to look for me. Tell me, have I been abandoned by them?"

Speaking of this, there was a hint of sadness in the eyes of this usually heartless girl.

"Of course not. Your family left you temporarily because of some unavoidable reasons. When I become stronger in the future, I will take you to find your family."

Xiao Yan looked at her with a gentle voice. This child had never seen her parents since she was born. If it weren't for Su Qian's kindness, she might have been eaten by some monster in the endless forest.

Others envy her powerful bloodline, but never know the loneliness in her heart.

"Thank you."

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Zi Yan finally showed a smile on her face. This time she did not act foolishly, but instead held Xiao Yan's arms tightly with her two little hands, as if she was a well-behaved little girl following her brother.

Liu Panlong looked at the three people with different expressions, a hint of doubt in his eyes, but he didn't dare to say anything more.

Bai Han, who was standing aside, had a solemn expression on his face at this moment, and there was a bit more awe in his eyes when he looked at Zi Yan.

After sending the little girl to the room where Xun'er used to live, Xiao Yan said goodbye to Zi Yan with a smile, then turned and left.

"Old Liu, your performance in the past two years has been very good. I am very satisfied with you."

After settling Zi Yan down, Xiao Yan turned his attention to Liu Panlong behind him.

"Haha, I am only working for the young master. Besides, my alchemy skills have improved a lot in the past two years. I have no other request but to go further on the path of alchemy."

Hearing Xiao Yan's praise, Liu Panlong smiled modestly, which made Xiao Yan even more satisfied with him.

So, Xiao Yan lightly tapped his forehead, and a huge amount of information was transmitted into Liu Panlong's mind.

Intermediate Earth Rank Kung Fu "Heavenly Fire Divine Art" (Part 1)

The True Art of Manipulating Flames can help practitioners quickly master various types of flames, and can even cultivate and fuse multiple types of beast fires to create a 'transformation fire' that is comparable to the spiritual fire of all beasts.

"Tian Dan Pavilion Alchemy Notes" is the alchemy notes of the master of Tian Dan Pavilion, an eighth-grade alchemist. It records a large number of prescriptions and the life experience of an eighth-grade alchemist.

"Heavenly Soul Art" is a secret art of soul cultivation. If one achieves a small success in cultivation, one can enter the spiritual realm. If one achieves a great success in cultivation, one will hopefully touch the threshold of the heavenly realm.

The moment these pieces of information entered Liu Panlong's mind, his old face began to tremble with excitement.

At this moment, he was kneeling directly in front of Xiao Yan, tears of excitement flowing from his eyes.

"Thank you, young master. Long live the young master!"

Liu Panlong kowtowed three times on the ground, and Bai Han, who was listening beside him, was a little surprised.

He didn't know what information Liu Panlong had obtained, but if he knew, he would probably be so shocked that he would be speechless.

The various martial arts secrets that Xiao Yan bestowed on Liu Panlong would allow Liu Xi to easily reach the level of a sixth-grade alchemist after obtaining them.

These things are all precious secret techniques that even the Dou Zun strongmen have to spend a lot of effort to obtain.

Therefore, Xiao Yan was accustomed to Liu Panlong's grateful look.

"Get up, as long as you work hard for my Xiao family, I will find a way to make you a real eighth-grade alchemist in the future."

Xiao Yan smiled and nodded. In the past, he was still weak, and although he had a mountain of treasures, he did not dare to reveal too much.

Therefore, even though he had these precious secret techniques, he did not dare to let too many people around him practice them. Only Xiao Zhan and his two brothers Xiao Yan gave them the intermediate earth-level practice techniques.

But now, Xiao Yan is already a leader under the Dou Zun level based on his own combat power. If Yao Lao behind him is counted, he is not far from the peak level of the continent. As long as Yao Lao's trace is not discovered by the Soul Palace, there is no need to be too cautious.

With a talent like Liu Panlong's, even Yao Lao was only confident that he could train him to become a sixth-rank alchemist, and he couldn't even guarantee that he could become a seventh-rank alchemist.

But for Xiao Yan, it is just a matter of raising his hand. Even if Xiao Yan is willing to pay the price, even the eighth or ninth grade may not be impossible.

After all, even if he is an imperial alchemist, he is just a master of alchemy in the world.

However, Xiao Yan is a Dominant Grandmaster who has surpassed the Saint-level Grandmaster.

Speaking of the God of Alchemy, I am really telling the truth.

Of course, if Xiao Yan wanted someone with Liu Panlong’s comprehension to comprehend the spiritual realm or even the heavenly realm, then even he would have to pay some price and find some treasures before there would be hope.

As for whether it is worth it, it all depends on what kind of contribution this old man can make to the Xiao family.

However, Bai Han, who was standing by, couldn't help but blink when he heard that Xiao Yan could make Liu Panlong an eighth-grade alchemist.

He and Liu Panlong were both servants who had their souls imprinted by Xiao Yan. Over the past two years, he had also been clear about Liu Panlong's true qualifications.

If someone with this kind of talent can be trained to become an eighth-rank alchemist, then doesn't it mean that my bloodline of the Xuanming White Tiger really has the hope of becoming a ninth-rank magical beast?
"Owner."

Thinking of this, Bai Han couldn't help but look at Xiao Yan, but he didn't dare to say the words on his lips.

"Don't worry, you have made contributions in the Xiao family over the years. When I finish the things on hand, I should call your sister over as well."

Xiao Yan glanced at Bai Han with a smile and said, "When the time comes, I will let you both break through to the eighth level."

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Bai Han's face instantly showed a hint of joy, and he quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Master."

"Well, you guys go back and rest first. Old Liu, you have to become a sixth-rank alchemist as soon as possible. If my servant Xiao Yan is not even a sixth-rank alchemist, it would be a disgrace to me."

"Yes, Master!"

Liu Panlong bowed deeply to Xiao Yan, and only followed Bai Han respectfully after he saw Xiao Yan turn around and leave.

As both are servants, there is a gap in status between him and Bai Han. And in the entire Xiao family, only Liu Panlong knows Bai Han’s true strength.

This is clearly a seventh-level peak Warcraft King, not some bullshit Douhuang as those brats from the Xiao family are talking about.

"Master Bai Han, I would like to ask, what kind of magical beast is the Taixu Ancient Dragon? Why have I never heard of it before?"

Liu Panlong looked at Bai Han cautiously.

Hearing Liu Panlong's question, Bai Han frowned slightly. Considering that this guy was usually very respectful to him and now appreciated by Xiao Yan, he cleared his throat.

"It's okay to tell you, but you must not spread it, otherwise both you and I will be in danger."

Hearing Bai Han say this, Liu Panlong's face showed even more horror.

What exactly is the identity of the Taixu Ancient Dragon that even Bai Han, a peak seventh-level magical beast, is so wary of it?

He was just wondering, but when he saw Bai Han exhaling slowly, he said, "The Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan is the most mysterious and powerful clan among my magical beast clans."

"Even hybrid monsters with some of their blood can easily reach the seventh level of this race, and the real ancient dragons can reach the eighth level when they reach adulthood."

Looking at Liu Panlong's gradually opening mouth, Bai Han showed a bitter smile on his face.

"A true pure-blooded ancient dragon has the hope of reaching the ninth level when it reaches adulthood, and the royal bloodline of the ancient dragon clan can smoothly become a ninth-level magical beast."

"This clan of theirs truly had an ancestor at the Doudi level."

After he finished speaking, Liu Panlong's face was already dazed.

He could never have imagined that the delicate and pretty little girl's true form was so terrifying.

At the same time, Xiao Yan came to Xiao Zhan's room.

"Father, are you saying that Sister Yafei has gone to the imperial capital?"

Xiao Yan frowned slightly. As early as the moment he arrived in Wutan City, he realized that Ya Fei was not here. Now, after asking, he found out that she had left Wutan City two months ago.

"Yes, the northwest continent has not been peaceful in the past six months."

Xiao Zhan sighed helplessly.
