Battle Through the Heavens: Reborn into the Xiao Family, Starting with Xiao Xuan's Inheritance

Chapter 33 Second Brother Xiao Li, a Dou Shi Powerhouse

The ceremony was re-tested.

As the name suggests, it is the last battle aura test conducted before the coming-of-age ceremony.

The battle aura test conducted a month and a half ago was merely a prediction for the coming-of-age ceremony, but today is the actual battle aura test.

Only clansmen with a battle aura of level seven or above can undergo a grand coming-of-age ceremony on this high platform. As for the other clansmen without talent, the coming-of-age ceremony is just a formality.

Therefore, the Xiao family attaches great importance to today's battle qi test.

Even the person in charge of the test was changed from an ordinary middle-aged man to the second elder of the Xiao family.

The Second Elder is now a genuine two-star Great Dou Master, a level of strength that ranks highly within the Xiao family.

His involvement in the presiding over the test demonstrates the importance the Xiao family attaches to this retest of Dou Qi.

With the Second Elder taking the stage, the ceremony officially began.

At the same time, everyone in Wutan City, except for the Xiao family, turned their gazes in the same direction as Xiao Yi and Xiao Yan.

After all, these two were the two supreme masters of the Xiao family, renowned throughout Wutan City, just three years ago.

Unfortunately, for some unknown reason, both of them lost all their fighting spirit and became useless.

Therefore, they all wanted to see if these two still lived up to their titles of supreme beings.

Seeing this scene, Xun'er couldn't help but smile slightly: "Brother Xiao Yi, it seems that the two of you will be the focus of attention again today—"

Xiao Yi simply smiled and nodded, looking at the high platform where battle qi was tested.

Just as the three of them were gazing at the test stone tablet.

A figure suddenly appeared behind the three of them.

Those large hands patted Xiao Yi and Xiao Yan on the shoulders respectively.

"Xiao Yanzi, Xiao Yi!"

"It's been years! You two boys have almost grown into grown men!"

The figure, beaming with joy, looked at the two of them and spoke excitedly.

Upon hearing the sound, Xiao Yi and his companion turned to look.

The newcomer was none other than Xiao Li, the second young master of the Xiao family!

"Second Brother?!"

"Why did you suddenly come back!"

The moment Xiao Yan saw Xiao Li, his face was filled with undisguised joy.

Xiao Yi was equally surprised and looked at Xiao Li.

After all, Xiao Li and Xiao Ding had left home many years ago, and this was their first time returning home.

Xiao Li simply smiled slightly: "My elder brother and I have formed a mercenary group. We happened to receive a job and were passing through Wutan City when we heard that today is the family's coming-of-age ceremony, so we took this opportunity to see you two!"

Xiao Yan: "What about my older brother?"

Xiao Li shook his head: "The mercenary group always needs someone to keep an eye on things. Big Brother didn't come this time—"

After Xiao Li finished speaking, he looked Xiao Yan over very seriously, then glared at him: "Little Yan, you've reached the eighth level of Dou Qi now?"

After all, Xiao Li had heard from a letter home a few months ago that Xiao Yan was only at the third level of Dou Qi.

In just a few short months, he has reached the eighth level of Dou Qi!

In Xiao Li's view, this speed was truly terrifying.

Xiao Yan simply smiled and said, "Second Brother, I'm only at the eighth level of Dou Qi, barely enough to pass the coming-of-age ceremony—you might want to take a look at Brother Yi—"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Li once again used his inner vision to look at Xiao Yi.

"What!? A fighter!"

"Little Yi, your speed is a bit too fast! Even with my current strength as a two-star Dou Shi, I can hardly see through you anymore!"

Xiao Li returned home today only to comfort Xiao Yan and Xiao Yi.

If the two fail the coming-of-age ceremony test, he plans to lead them to the mercenary group he and Xiao Ding have formed, which would also save them from some of the ridicule from their clansmen.

But to Xiao Li's utter surprise, the two boys' leveling speed was terrifying, like they were using cheat codes.

Especially Xiao Yi, at this rate, if given another month, he will probably surpass me.

"You two brats, now that your fighting spirit has returned to normal, you didn't even bother to write to inform me and your elder brother!"

"Do you know how much your elder brother and I worry about you!"

Xiao Li was shocked, but he was also genuinely happy for the two of them.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi simply smiled slightly: "Brother Li, Xiao Yan and I were just preparing a surprise for you and Big Brother—"

"But I didn't expect you to come back early today—"

Xiao Li patted Xiao Yi on the shoulder: "You brat, your leveling speed is more of a shock than a surprise!"

"Alright, stop being so cheeky—"

"It'll be your turn soon for this testing ceremony—"

After Xiao Li finished speaking, he also turned his head slightly to look at the high platform.

"Next up, Xiao Yan!"

The next second, the Second Elder on the platform suddenly shouted.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan nodded to Xiao Yi and the others.

He then stepped onto the testing platform under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

"Relax, just do the test as usual—"

The Second Elder spoke calmly, his face expressionless.

Xiao Yan ignored the Second Elder, after all, he was extremely skilled at testing Dou Qi.

The next second, Xiao Yan lightly touched the huge black stone tablet with his palm.

The stone tablet instantly lit up with a light, and several large characters appeared on it.

"Battle Aura, Eighth Stage!"

Upon seeing the information on the golden stone tablet, Xiao Zhan burst into laughter.

"As expected of my son! It's only been a month and a half since the last test, and he's already raised his battle qi by another level!"

'

Seeing this, Ya Fei quickly cupped her hands and thanked Xiao Zhan, saying, "Congratulations, Clan Chief Xiao, your son has returned to the genius of Wutan City!"

Xiao Zhan's smile didn't fade at all: "That's all thanks to buying that Foundation Establishment Elixir at the Mitel Auction House, which helped my Yan'er return to the ranks of geniuses!"

Upon hearing this, Ya Fei merely smiled slightly, but the look in her eyes as she turned to look at Xiao Yan held a different meaning.

"Next up, Xiao Yi!"

Xiao Yan finished the test, and the Second Elder shouted again.

Xiao Yi also ascended the platform under everyone's watchful eyes.

After all, as two supreme beings of the Xiao family, Xiao Yi received just as much attention from the outside world as Xiao Yan.

Xiao Ning, leaning on his cane in the crowd, looked at Xiao Yi's triumphant appearance and felt extremely displeased.

"Just a mere three-star Dou Zhe, I don't know what this kid is so smug about!"

No sooner had Xiao Ning finished speaking than Xiao Yu glared at him fiercely: "A mere three-star Dou Zhe?"

"Xiao Yan was only at the seventh level of Dou Qi a month and a half ago, but now he has caught up with you in such a short time!"

'

"If you get into Canaan Academy and you still don't live up to expectations, our lineage will truly be ruined!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ning shook his head: "Sister, now that I've lost a leg, can I really still enter Canaan Academy to study?"

Xiao Yu nodded: "It shouldn't be difficult. After all, I have a good relationship with my supervisor, so getting in through the back door shouldn't be too hard—"

Xiao Yi had just stepped onto the high platform when the Second Elder spoke.

He then skillfully circulated his battle qi and reached out to lightly touch the testing stone tablet.

Instantly, an extremely dazzling light shot into the sky from the stone tablet.

And on that stone tablet, four large, golden characters shimmered:

-

"Fighter, Nine Stars!"
