Chapter 22 Xun'er's Wishing Well
"Next up, Xiao Yu!"
"Next up, Xiao Ning!"
"Next, Xiao Mei..."
One by one, the members of the Xiao family stepped forward to test their fighting spirit.
However, the result was a huge, almost disparate one compared to Xiao Yan, who was the first to take the stage.
Even though Xiao Yu was two years older than Xiao Yan, and at eight years old, with his head held high and a defiant posture, he was only at the fourth level of Dou Qi.
The others, such as Xiao Mei and Xiao Ning, were only hovering at the first or second stage of Dou Qi, and the gap was very obvious.
"Xun'er, do you want to go?"
Xiao Yan turned to look at Xiao Xun'er beside him.
Xiao Xun'er is still in the stage of tempering her meridians with the strange fire, and he hasn't asked about her specific cultivation level yet. But for Xiao Xun'er, there's no need to attract attention by going up there, since she has only been cultivating for a little over half a year.
Even if they have cultivation, it won't be very high.
Rather than trying to gain fame that is almost useless to the young lady of the ancient clan, it is better to keep a low profile.
But, you never know.
Based on his own understanding, he was 9% certain.
"I'll wait for you here," Xiao Xun'er said softly.
"Okay." Xiao Yan nodded.
Soon, his name was called from the testing platform.
"Next, Xiao Yan!"
The name made the children who came for the test look around, most of them not knowing what the person looked like.
But I've heard some rumors about her, like she's withdrawn, difficult to get along with, violent, and prone to robbery.
But their subconscious aversion to this name can now be seen to see what it actually looks like.
Just as everyone was looking around.
Xiao Yan had already stepped onto the stage, and before the middle-aged man hosting could say anything, he slammed his fist into the testing magic stone tablet.
"Thump!"
As the patterns on the stone tablet glowed, the result became apparent.
The middle-aged man paused for a second and then shouted,
"Xiao Yan, seven years old, Battle Qi, fifth level!"
Level: Intermediate!
Since Xiao Yan's test, Xiao Zhan, who had been observing the reactions of other families and forces, along with the three elders, all turned their attention to him.
They looked at the figure on the testing platform; it seemed somewhat familiar.
Isn't this the guy who's with Xiao Xun'er?
His talent for fighting spirit is also so outstanding?
At seven years old, he had reached the fifth level of Dou Qi. Although he was not as good as Xiao Yan at the age of six, he was still among the top in the younger generation of the Xiao family, second only to Xiao Yan!
"My Xiao family still has such a promising talent."
Xiao Zhan felt a sense of novelty; if things could develop further in the future, it would at least reach the level of a Dou Ling.
How come he never noticed this before?
"Third Elder, such a promising talent has been kept hidden until now."
The so-called Third Elder was taken aback by this performance, but quickly said modestly, "But there is still a considerable gap between me and the Third Young Master. It's not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning."
It seems someone mentioned it to him, but he didn't pay much attention.
After exchanging words, the two looked at the people from other families and forces in unison. The appearance of a talent with only a slight disadvantage was like another last straw weighing on everyone's hearts!
"snort!"
On the high platform, Xiao Yan watched this scene, turned his head slightly with disdain, and raised his chin even higher.
Under him is under him.
I will continue to grow, and the other party cannot keep up with my speed now, and it is absolutely impossible for them to do so in the future!
Just a... just a local!
However, the black ring hanging on his chest trembled almost imperceptibly.
"Battle Qi... Seventh level?! How... how could it be so fast?" The energy fluctuation just now... although it was hidden, it could not escape the perception of Venerable Medicine.
"Could it be... that I misjudged him back then?"
"Do you really think I'm getting old? Twice in a row..."
Unlike the surprised and uncertain gazes of the Xiao family disciples and guests on the field, Xiao Xun'er, who was in the corridor, was slightly taken aback when she heard the word "fifth dan". Then, she couldn't help but show genuine joy in her eyes and brows.
Listen to the voice coming from the ear.
It appears to be five dan... but in reality, it is seven dan.
At seven years old, he has already reached the seventh level of Dou Qi. This talent is even higher than that so-called third young master of the Xiao family.
"No wonder he could say that."
Xiao Xun'er murmured, her eyebrows slightly raised as she looked at Xiao Yan, who was coming down from the stage.
Their eyes met in mid-air. Xiao Yan's eyes were clear, but they seemed to carry a hint of proof.
It's as if this action wasn't for his own benefit, but rather something he did specifically to impress her?
"Hmph!" Xiao Xun'er unconsciously snorted, a strange and inexplicable emotion welling up in her heart.
He had already cultivated to such a level, yet he refused to tell her beforehand, causing her to feel emotionally conflicted without understanding why... even though they were already friends.
Thinking this to herself, she couldn't help but stroke the rabbit's fur more gently and quickly.
Xiao Yan, who had witnessed all of this, stood on the high platform, his head, which had been held high, slowly lowered a little.
The light from the test stone was dazzling. His achievement of the fifth level of Dou Qi should have brought him the glory of being the center of attention, but at this moment, he felt a strange emptiness in his heart.
In terms of cultivation level, he won.
But looking at the silent exchange of glances between the two people below the stage, he felt as if he had lost something important.
What... what exactly is going on?
"Let's go back, Xun'er."
Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Xun'er in front of him, who seemed angry but couldn't help being happy, and took the initiative to extend an invitation.
But she received only a dismissive response: turning away and giving a small nod...
Now, is it time to start making a wish?
……
The next morning.
The Xiao family was both peaceful and bustling, unlike anything they had ever done before. The bustling activity was outside the family compound, where business seemed to be expanding, and even some well-known mercenaries in the area were beginning to join them. Apart from the children who were still cultivating, the adults in the clan could feel the obvious busyness.
The reason is yesterday's test conference.
The news that the Xiao family is destined to rise to power has spread throughout the city!
Jing was in Xiao Xun'er's courtyard.
Xiao Xun'er sat alone, her delicate brows slightly furrowed. She went to find Xiao Yan again, but once again only received an empty response.
"He's not here so early in the morning. Where could he have gone...? Did he go to the market to buy something again? What kind of danger has occurred?"
"No! I..."
"Mr. Ling, thank you for your trouble."
She called softly.
As soon as she finished speaking, a dark figure silently appeared behind her and then vanished in an instant, leaving behind a silent sigh.
At the same time, in Xiaojiafang Market.
Xiao Yan was pacing back and forth in front of a stall, his brows furrowed, clutching an old leather scroll tightly in his hand.
That was something the stall owner touted as originating from an ancient tomb ruin, containing the secret techniques of a Dou Huang powerhouse!
However, his mind was not on the scroll at all.
Instead, he was thinking.
"Ling Ying, is she not here?"
"I'm about to make a wish."
