Douluo Continent: Crossing Over to Battle Through the Heavens, Starting with a 100,000-Year Soul Rin

"That's right, the power behind her is enormous, so much so that most people on the continent have to look up to her."

Xiao Wujiu said with emotion that the imperial clan was indeed an existence he needed to look up to at the moment, but he believed that he would reach that point sooner or later!

Moreover, if one doesn't want to, no one will become an emperor in the next millennium of the Dou Qi Continent!

"It's alright, my little man. If you're tired, come back to your sister's embrace. My arms are always open for you."

"Could you remove the 'small' part? It sounds awkward to me."

No, you are my little man.

"Don't you know exactly how old I am?"

"What are you saying..."

The two spoke softer and softer, and Ya Fei's cheeks seemed to turn pink, which stunned Xiao Zhan and the three elders standing to the side.

They had originally intended to go up and express their gratitude to Xiao Wujiu, since their strength had been greatly enhanced with the help of his pills, which was a great favor.

However, seeing how intimately the other person and Ya Fei were behaving, they were too embarrassed to go up and disturb them, so they could only awkwardly return to their seats, because at this time, the coming-of-age ceremony also began!

Second Elder Xiao Ying also left ahead of time because he had to organize the coming-of-age ceremony.

Xiao Wujiu also stopped chatting with Ya Fei and began to look at the high platform in the center of the square, pondering what kind of cultivation he would display later.

Looking down at the coming-of-age ceremony, Ya Fei suddenly realized that Xiao Wujiu was only sixteen years old.

He had just learned about Xiao Wujiu's current strength: Nine-Star Douling, Fifth-Rank Alchemist!

A sixteen-year-old nine-star Dou Ling expert or a sixteen-year-old fifth-grade alchemist would be an incredibly dazzling genius on anyone, but someone who possesses both...

Horror!

……

After the coming-of-age ceremony was more than halfway through, the name that everyone had been waiting for was finally called out: Xiao Yan!

As the person involved, Xiao Yan sighed, feeling the gazes around him, and shook his head helplessly.

He exhaled softly, his face remaining calm and composed, and then, under the watchful eyes of everyone present, he stepped onto the high platform.

The Second Elder, Xiao Ying, looked at the young man who had made a comeback, and the disdain and contempt he used to show in his eyes were gone.

After the elaborate ceremony concluded, Xiao Yan arrived before the Black Stone Testing Stele, where Xiao Ying announced, "The ceremony will be repeated!"

Looking at Xiao Yan on the high platform, Xiao Yu asked Xiao Ning beside her, "His talent has returned, and he has really reached the seventh level?"

Xiao Yu and Xiao Yan didn't have much of a conflict. The main issue was that her younger brother, Xiao Ning, was quite hostile towards him, and she couldn't possibly not side with her own family.

When asked by her sister, Xiao Ning nodded somewhat bitterly and said in a muffled voice, "Yeah, I don't know what that guy ate, but he really jumped four levels of Dou Qi in a year."

"What about Xiao Wujiu?"

Xiao Yu had just returned from Canaan Academy, so she was unaware of the prediction results from last month.

Xiao Ning wasn't surprised to hear her older sister asking about Xiao Wujiu. Back then, Xiao Yu had made many trips to Xiao Wujiu's place, and even though she was turned away many times, she didn't give up until she went to Canaan Academy.

"Sis, you still like Xiao Wujiu? That guy..."

Hearing her younger brother's question, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she pursed her lips, saying, "Children shouldn't interfere in adult matters. Tell me quickly."

"What child? I'm an adult now, after today's coming-of-age ceremony..."

But before he could finish speaking, Xiao Yu's gaze made him feel uneasy, so he immediately replied, "A year ago, Cousin Wujiu's strength had already reached the three-star Dou Zhe level, but he didn't participate in the prediction last month, so we don't know his strength yet!"

Xiao Ning answered Xiao Yu as quickly as possible, afraid that if he was too slow, the fist would fall on his head.

"A three-star fighter..."

Xiao Yu stared blankly at Xiao Wujiu, who was behaving intimately with Ya Fei on the high platform, a stubborn look flashing across her pretty face.

"I will try my best to catch up with you, and when I am qualified to stand by your side, I will tie you to my side even if I have to!"

Her mind was also drawn into memories of the past.

When she was a child, she was taking a bath in the back mountain when she suddenly heard Xiao Wujiu's voice. She thought it was this little pervert peeping at her while she was bathing, so she shouted "You lecher!" and ran out to see.

It wasn't until Xiao Yan's fleeing figure, Xiao Wujiu's gentle smile, and his nonchalant departure after the matter was settled that they realized they had misunderstood each other.

Later, she wanted to find an opportunity to talk to the other person alone and apologize.

However, he never had a good opportunity, but his attention to Xiao Wujiu increased day by day.

Gradually, she found herself developing feelings for him.

This made her feel ashamed, but she was unwilling to give up, so she wanted to give her cultivation resources to Xiao Wujiu, who was an orphan.

But she received countless rejections. The last time, the words she remembered most clearly were those of Xiao Wujiu: "Instead of wasting your time on me, you should become more outstanding. Remember this principle: If you blossom, the breeze will come."

Later, she stopped blocking Xiao Wujiu and pestering him.

Instead, he calmed down and focused on cultivation, trying to catch up with Xiao Wujiu.

This sentence has always inspired and encouraged her, but whenever her strength comes close to that of her opponent, she is always just a little bit short, and the gap has always existed.

Xiao Wujiu clearly didn't have many cultivation resources, yet her cultivation level was only slightly lower than Xiao Yan, who was hailed as the number one genius of the Xiao family. It was only at this moment that she clearly realized the difference in talent.

Therefore, she left the Xiao family and went to Canaan Academy, hoping to take a shortcut to success.

However, even if she trains desperately at the academy, her current strength is only at the four-star Dou Zhe level, while Xiao Wujiu reached the three-star Dou Zhe level a year ago!

What she found even more unacceptable was that Xiao Wujiu and Ya Fei were together!

"Damn it, that vixen must have tricked Wujiu. I must get Wujiu back!"

Xiao Yu's face was full of defiance; even if Xiao Wujiu was with someone else, she would not give up.

Because he deserves it!

……

At this moment, Xiao Yan's test results also came out. A burst of light shone on the huge black stone tablet on the high platform, and to everyone's astonishment, golden characters appeared on the surface of the black stone tablet in a flamboyant manner.

"Battle Aura: Eighth Stage!"

Instantly, the entire room fell silent.

Xiao Wujiu watched this scene quietly, the light on the portal in his mind gradually filling up, and the energy of crossing realms was constantly rising.

"The Xiao Yan of the past has returned!"

Chapter 28 Preparing to Leave, the Heart's Flutter

The people around were talking excitedly, marveling that the Xiao family was about to rise to prominence, and that they might have another Dou Huang powerhouse in the future.

After all, Xiao Yan's talent is undeniable. If he really returns, even if he's been delayed for a few years, it won't be a big deal.

As for why we say there's another one? Well, the Xiao family has more than just the former Xiao Yan when it comes to geniuses!

As usual, Xiao Ning chose to challenge Xiao Yan, but Xiao Yan was now beyond Xiao Ning's ability to defeat, even after he took the Qi-boosting powder.

Looking at the defeated Xiao Ning, Xiao Yu sighed, but made no further move. She merely reflected on the fact that Xiao Ning had completely withdrawn from the pursuit of Xiao Xun'er, but…

Her gaze was firm as she looked at Xiao Wujiu.

She, Xiao Yu, will never leave the stage!

After this battle, more clansmen took to the field. Everyone was still savoring the shock that Xiao Yan had just brought, until Xiao Xun'er's test caused another shock.

With the strength of a one-star Dou Zhe, such an achievement, while not comparable to Xiao Yan's back then, is still extremely rare.

Finally, when Xiao Ying uttered that name, it immediately attracted everyone's attention!

"Next up, Xiao Wujiu!"

Xiao Ying's gaze fell on Xiao Wujiu in the stands, and everyone's eyes followed. At this moment, Xiao Wujiu had already separated from Ya Fei, but was sitting together.

No one was surprised that Xiao Wujiu was sitting there; in fact, some people had noticed him long ago. But geniuses always have some privileges, don't they?

When he heard that it was his turn, he smiled at Ya Fei, then stood up and leaped to Xiao Ying's side.

"Second Elder, let's keep the ceremony simple."

"Okay, okay, of course no problem."

Xiao Ying nodded. In fact, he would have done it even if Xiao Wujiu hadn't said anything, since he was also very curious about the other party's strength.

He then completed the ceremony as quickly as possible and moved on to the final testing phase.

Amidst everyone's expectant gaze, the golden characters reappeared, and the light on the black stone tablet shone brighter than ever before!

"Battle Master, Five Stars!"

The test results immediately caused a huge uproar!

"Dou Shi realm! Wasn't Xiao Wujiu only a three-star Dou Zhe a year ago? How did he suddenly break through to the Dou Shi realm, and even five-star!"

"Breaking through ten minor realms and one major realm in a year, is that human?"

"I can't take it anymore. I thought Xiao Yan was already monstrous enough, but I didn't expect there to be other experts. I declare Xiao Wujiu to be the dark horse of all!"

"The rise of the Xiao family is unstoppable!"

……

Praises arose all around, but Xiao Zhan, sitting on the high platform, smiled knowingly. He was relieved and certain that Xiao Wujiu's strength was at least at the same level as his!

Given his low-key and cautious nature, he is definitely hiding his true strength!

He has now seen through everything!

Ya Fei, standing to the side, smiled and murmured, "This little guy is really low-key. A dignified nine-star Dou Ling expert, he's disguised as a five-star Dou Shi."

"But that's good too, a low-key and cautious nature can also take you further."

In Ya Fei's eyes, Xiao Wujiu's figure was reflected, and a sweet smile appeared on her lips.

……

Xiao Wujiu glanced at the stunned Xiao Ying and asked, "Second Elder, are you done?"

"Oh...oh, okay, all done."

Xiao Ying then realized what was happening and announced Xiao Wujiu's test results.

With the latter's test completed, the coming-of-age ceremony came to a complete end, and news about Xiao Wujiu gradually began to spread throughout Wutan City.
