Fights Break Sphere: Purple Thunder Emperor

Chapter 18 Test
"Strength of fighting, third stage"

Time flies and it is the day of the Xiao family's annual fighting spirit test.

In the Xiao family, those who have not reached the seventh level of fighting power by the age of sixteen will be demoted to manage the various family businesses.

If you are still not a fighter by the age of 25, I'm sorry, but you may be removed from the family tree and no longer recognized by the family.

"Xiao Yan, fighting power, third stage! Level, low level!" Next to the stone tablet for testing fighting spirit, the middle-aged man in charge of the family test announced the result in an indifferent tone.

Xiao Bai stood under the shade of a tree at the edge of the testing square, silently looking at Xiao Yan on the testing table.

He hadn't taken part in the family test for three years, and the elders in the family knew his situation and acquiesced.

I got up early today just to check in on the famous scene. Although he doesn't have a check-in system, he can watch the show. Isn't this much more real than the TV series filmed in his previous life?
Xiao Yan on the stage was looking at the glaring characters on the stone tablet with an expressionless face. A hint of self-mockery appeared on the corner of his mouth. He clenched his hands tightly, and his slightly sharp nails caused bursts of pain in his palms.

He lowered his head in silence, turned around and walked down from the platform. He heard one after another discussion in his ears, some mocking, some sighing with regret.
It was as if a sharp sword was stabbing into his heart, causing his breathing to become a little rapid.

Closing his eyes and taking a few deep breaths, he thought of Xiao Bai and that kind of calmness and composure.

Xiao Yan slowly raised his head, his delicate and tender face full of indifference, and his dark eyes indifferently glanced at those who mocked him.

"The world is so fickle. Three years ago, these people were smiling humbly and calling me Third Young Master. But now they are so mean! Ha~!"

Xiao Yan walked calmly through the crowd, ignoring the mocking voices, and walked towards the gray-haired young man under the shade of the tree beside the square.

Everyone in the square followed Xiao Yan's gaze and discovered Xiao Bai standing under the tree.

"That's Xiao Bai. How did he become like this?"

"I heard that there was a problem with the training, but now it's much better. You didn't see what it was like a few months ago. That was scary!"

"Didn't Xiao Yan get along with him? Why do they seem to have a good relationship now?" When everyone saw Xiao Bai patting Xiao Yan on the shoulder, someone asked in confusion.

"Who knows? Maybe we share the same pain!"

Although some people in the crowd disliked Xiao Bai since childhood, they did not dare to say anything bad.

Even if he hadn't made a breakthrough in six years, the one with the ninth level of Dou Qi cultivation was undoubtedly the best among all the test takers in the square. Moreover, Xiao Yan had been beaten by a two-star Dou Zhe before.

"Next, Xiao Mei!"

A girl about fourteen years old ran out from the crowd. As soon as she appeared, she diverted everyone's attention from Xiao Bai and locked their eyes on the girl's cheek with a slightly fiery look.

The girl was not stunningly beautiful, but the combination of purity and charm on her face made her the focus of everyone's attention.

"Xiao Mei, fighting spirit, seventh stage, level, advanced!"

After hearing this, Xiao Mei cheered and a smug smile appeared on her face.

The envious chatter from the audience made the smile on her face even wider; vanity had a different kind of allure to a girl of this age.

The girl on the stage was enjoying the feeling of being the center of attention. She saw the two figures under the shade of the trees out of the corner of her eye. After thinking for a while, Xiao Mei walked towards the edge of the square.

"Cousin Xiao Bai!" "Cousin Xiao Yan!"

Xiao Mei greeted the two of them. She hadn't seen Xiao Bai for a long time and found that he had changed a lot. She couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. In the past, Xiao Bai was gentle and elegant, and always had a faint smile on his face, making people feel like spring breeze;

Now his face was stern and his eyes were deep, and the majesty between his brows was even greater than that of the clan leader and the great elder.

Looking at the two people in front of her, they had both appeared in Xiao Mei's girlish heart. She had once fantasized about getting one of them and spending the rest of her life with them.

Xiao Bai was the worst among them. When other girls of the same age in the Xiao family discussed boys together, Xiao Bai's topic always topped the list.

However, he seemed to treat Gu Xun'er differently in the entire Xiao family. He treated all other girls in a seemingly gentle but actually distant manner.

Thinking of Xiao Xun'er, a hint of jealousy flashed in Xiao Mei's eyes.
"Next one, Xiao Xun'er!"

When they heard the name, the crowd that was talking suddenly fell silent and their eyes quietly shifted.

I saw a cool young girl walking up to the platform. She was wearing a green skirt and standing there like a green lotus bud about to bloom.

She is graceful and extraordinary, with skin whiter than snow and eyes like clear springs. When she looks around, she has a kind of elegant and noble temperament that captivates people and makes them dare not disrespect her.

She is so beautiful at such a young age, it is hard to imagine how stunningly stunning she will be when she grows up.

Xiao Xun'er first swept her eyes across the crowd, then accurately locked onto the young man under the shade of the tree. Her face seemed to have thawed in the spring, and she blinked at the young man with a smile, then turned and walked towards the test stele.

"Damn it, I don't know what's so good about that guy that he can be favored by cousin Xun'er!"

"Yes, yes!"

"Yes, what can that guy have? He is just a little more handsome, has a better temperament, and has a higher level of cultivation. Apart from these, what else does he have?"

After hearing the last words of this person, the people around him looked at him and silently took a step back.

Damn it, everyone is here to attack Xiao Bai, are you here to attack him? Are you an undercover sent by Xiao Bai?
On the stage, the girl stretched out her jade hand, and the cyan-gold cuffs slipped down a little, revealing her white and delicate wrist. Her palm lightly touched the stone tablet, and the light on the tablet bloomed.

"Xiao Xun'er, fighting spirit, ninth stage! Level, advanced!"

The voice of the middle-aged man beside the stone tablet resounded throughout the square. Everyone was silent at first, and then there was a constant buzz.

There were voices of admiration, awe, and jealousy.
"Miss Xun'er, at this rate, you will be able to condense the cyclone in half a year and break through to become a fighter. By then, you will be the second person in the Xiao family in the past hundred years."

After the middle-aged man read the information on the Dou Qi stele, a smile appeared on his face, and he said to the girl with a little respect.

"The second person?" Xiao Xun'er was noncommittal and nodded slightly to the middle-aged man. "Thank you!"

He turned around and slowly walked down the platform, heading towards the shade of the trees beside the square with a little excitement.
"Brother Xiao Bai!" The girl walked to Xiao Bai, put her hands behind her back, leaned forward, and looked at him with curved brows.

Xiao Bai looked at her, and a smile finally broke out on his stern face. His eyes were full of unconcealable doting, and he touched the black hair on her head.

"Brother Xiao Bai, why are you here today?" Seeing Xiao Bai stroking her little head, the girl couldn't help but narrowed her eyes, and then asked in confusion.

Xiao Bai hasn't participated in the family test for several years, and he has been staying indoors for a long time recently. She hasn't seen him for a long time, and she was a little curious about his appearance here today.
