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

The back mountain of the Xiao family.

Xiao Yan and Xiao Yi sat down cross-legged on the spot, familiar with each other.

"Brother Yi, your fighting spirit..."

After a moment's thought, Xiao Yan finally couldn't help but speak slowly.

Xiao Yi, casually chewing on a blade of grass, smiled slightly and said:

"Would you believe me if I said my fighting spirit never actually disappeared?"

"Huh? It never disappeared?"

Xiao Yan looked surprised, clearly not believing Xiao Yi's explanation.

"Yes, it never disappeared; it has always been hidden inside the body..."

"Just now, for some reason, it suddenly erupted all at once, helping me return to the realm of a Fighter..."

Xiao Yi still had that gentle smile on his face as he spoke softly.

Xiao Yi didn't care whether Xiao Yan believed him or not; now that things had come to this, he had no choice but to make up lies.

We can't very well tell Xiao Yan that Xiao Xuan returned the Dou Qi, can we?

Looking at Xiao Yi's serious and earnest expression, Xiao Yan remained silent, only his eyes revealing an undisguised envy.

"Brother Yi, do you think my fighting spirit will be like yours...?"

After saying that, Xiao Yan immediately began to circulate the negligible amount of Dou Qi within his body, defying all superstition.

A moment later, Xiao Yan's expression said it all.

Unlike Xiao Yi, his vanished fighting spirit did not return.

Seeing Xiao Yan's extremely disappointed expression, Xiao Yi spoke softly:

"Xiao Yan, don't be in such a hurry..."

"There's always a reason why your battle aura disappears. With your talent, once you find the reason, you'll definitely improve rapidly in the future..."

"Someone like Nalan Yanran, I'll go with you to the Yunlan Sect in three years and give her a good slap in the face!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan, though extremely unwilling, could only nod in agreement.

"A temporary setback is nothing. Perhaps the experiences we had during those three years of bickering will even help us grow in the future..."

Those who once looked down on us will one day regret it…

"When autumn comes on the ninth day of the ninth month, my flowers will bloom and all others will wither!"

Xiao Yi's explanations were like those of a jianbing (Chinese crepe), one after another.

Although Xiao Yan couldn't understand everything at this moment, he knew that Xiao Yi's temperament had been much more mature than his peers since childhood.

This is also why Xiao Yan has always liked to spend time with Xiao Yi since he was a child.

As the two were talking, Xiao Xun'er slowly walked over again.

"Brother Xiao Yan! Brother Xiao Yi!"

"Why do you two always like coming to this back mountain..."

"Uncle Xiao has been looking for Brother Xiao Yi for a long time..."

Xiao Xun'er said softly, somewhat puzzled as to why the two of them always hid in the back mountain.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi slowly stood up and stretched, saying, "Because the back mountain is beautiful..."

"Xiao Yan, shall we go together?"

Xiao Yan nodded upon hearing this.

He immediately got up and followed Xiao Yi down the mountain.

……

Inside the Xiao family's main hall.

Xiao Zhan sat high on the armchair.

The three elders of the Xiao family still separated on the left and right sides.

As Xiao Yi stepped through the door, he first respectfully bowed to Xiao Zhan and greeted him:

"Greetings, Chieftain..."

Xiao Zhan waved his hand dismissively: "Yi'er, there's no need to be so reserved..."

At this moment, Xiao Zhan's face showed some excitement, clearly unaffected by Nalan Yanran's visit to annul the engagement.

After all, there was something more important in Xiao Zhan's eyes at that moment.

That's how Xiao Yi's fighting spirit was restored.

Can it help Xiao Yan successfully recover his fighting spirit and regain his title as a genius?

Over the years, Xiao Zhan has gone to great lengths for Xiao Yan's fighting spirit.

I tried countless methods and elixirs, but none of them worked.

So seeing Xiao Yi successfully recover his fighting spirit was like a glimmer of light for Xiao Zhan in the darkness.

"Yi'er, is your fighting spirit..."

Xiao Zhan's eyes gleamed with barely concealed excitement, and he couldn't wait to get to the point.

Xiao Yi was actually prepared for Xiao Zhan's question.

That is exactly what Xiao Yan just said.

"Uncle, it seems my battle qi didn't completely disappear before; it just accumulated within me. For some reason, it surged forth after yesterday's test, helping me return to the realm of a Battle Master!"

Xiao Yi remained expressionless and spoke with utmost seriousness.

At first glance, it seems to make sense.

Upon hearing this, a strange light flashed in Xiao Zhan's eyes: "Is Yan'er's situation the same as yours?"

Xiao Yi shook his head: "Uncle, you don't need to worry too much. Xiao Yanzi's talent is countless times greater than mine. One day he will return to his peak!"

Upon hearing Xiao Yi's words, Xiao Zhan's previously excited eyes instantly dimmed.

But things quickly returned to normal.

"Very well, Yi'er, you know I've always treated you like my own son. Now that your fighting spirit has returned to normal and you've returned to the ranks of Dou Zhe, no matter what, it's a blessing for the Xiao family!"

"Back then, when you and Yan'er became the youngest fighters in the Xiao family, how glorious it was to have two Supremes in one family! And now, Yan'er..."

Even now, Xiao Zhan's face still betrayed his disappointment.

On the contrary, the three elders beside Xiao Zhan were extremely excited, forming a stark contrast with Xiao Zhan.

After all, in their eyes, it doesn't matter who the younger generation of the Xiao family is, as long as someone has outstanding talent.

But seeing the expressions on the three people's faces, Xiao Yi felt a wave of nausea.

Thinking back, when he had lost all his fighting spirit, these three people had never given him a kind look.

Now that their fighting spirit has returned, the three of them are changing their expressions extremely quickly.

"Clan leader, now that Xiao Yi has returned to the Dou Zhe realm, his talent should rightfully place him among the core members of the Xiao family!"

"Therefore, I propose that all family resources be prioritized for Xiao Yi, what do you think?"

The elder smiled and spoke first, making the suggestion.

As soon as the Grand Elder spoke, the other two elders immediately echoed his agreement: "We agree..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan did not speak, but simply nodded in agreement.

Because Xiao Yi now truly deserves all of the Xiao family's resources.

……

The moonlight descends.

The usually bustling Xiao residence was now quiet.

Under the moonlight, a small figure secretly slipped out of the room and headed towards the back of the mountain.

The figure was extremely familiar to Xiao Yi; it was none other than Xiao Yan.

"Little Yanzi, tonight should be the night that Elder Yao awakens..."

"It's time for your life to officially begin!"

"Our Xiao family boasts two Supreme Beings; it's time for us to return!"

Looking at Xiao Yan's somewhat forlorn figure, Xiao Yi couldn't help but mutter to himself.

When Xiao Yi returned to his bed in the room...

A crimson aura immediately emanated from the storage ring on his hand.

The next second, Xiao Xuan's transparent body slowly emerged.

"Ancestor..."

Upon seeing Xiao Xuan, Xiao Yi instinctively let out a soft exclamation.

Xiao Xuan, however, looked rather solemn.

"When I failed to become a Dou Di back then, I was already prepared for the Xiao Clan's decline as a result..."

"But I never imagined that the Xiao clan would fall into such a state of decline!"

"Someone actually came to our door in public to annul the engagement! If that girl were released by my Xiao clan, she wouldn't even be qualified to enter the Xiao Realm!"

"Young man, what kind of force is the Yunlan Sect that came to our door today?"

Xiao Xuan couldn't help but feel deeply moved, as witnessing the current state of the Xiao family today was truly heartbreaking.

Xiao Yi: "Ancestor, the Yunlan Sect is now the strongest sect in the Jia Ma Empire, where the Xiao family resides!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly: "The strongest sect? Who founded this sect, how many generations has it been passed down, and what is the sect leader's strength?"

Xiao Yi answered Xiao Xuan's questions one by one:

"I've heard that the Yunlan Sect was founded by Yun Potian, a Dou Zun powerhouse!"

"The sect has now been passed down to its ninth generation leader, whose strength is said to be a three-star Dou Huang!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuan's expression became even more solemn:

"So, even a sect founded by a mere Dou Zun can become a top-tier power...?"

"Now that the sect leader only has a Dou Huang level sect, they dare to act so wildly in my Xiao Clan! Do they really think my Xiao Clan has no one left?"

Xiao Yi's face showed a hint of embarrassment: "Ancestor, the Xiao family really has no one left. The strongest person is only a five-star Great Dou Master. How dare they challenge a Dou Huang..."

Xiao Xuan glared at Xiao Yi and said, "Who said there's no one? I've awakened today! A mere Dou Huang isn't even worthy of carrying my shoes!"

Xiao Xuan's words were indeed true. With his strength as a half-step Dou Di, he could probably kill a large number of Dou Huang powerhouses with just a glance.

But that was his strength in life. No matter how domineering Xiao Xuan was in life, he is now just a mere soul...

"Ancestor, but you are now only a wisp of soul. This junior dares to ask, what kind of strength can you currently exert...?"

Xiao Xuan frowned: "I have only just awakened, and my soul power is somewhat unstable, but dealing with a mere Dou Huang is more than enough..."

As soon as Xiao Xuan finished speaking, his eyes sharpened, and he turned sharply to look towards the direction of the back mountain of the Xiao family.

"This soul power..."

"It seems like another soul has awakened in that direction..."
