Battle Through the Heavens, Reborn as Xiao Yan's Sister

Chapter 11 Signs of a Genius's Fall

After the family festival,
Xiao Yue went to the medicine room as usual. She had not prepared enough of the 'Qi and Blood Powder' and 'Tiger Bone Ointment' that she had prepared to help with her cultivation. She needed to get the medicinal materials and brew a new pot.

Oh, right,

It is worth mentioning that Elder Jiang of the Pill Refining Room, also known as the crazy old man, passed away three days ago. The old man was not young and died of exhaustion of his lifespan, which can be considered a natural death. With this, the Xiao family has lost its only alchemist.

"Pity…"

Xiao Yue sighed.

The old man's wish was to refine a third-grade pill, but unfortunately he failed before his death, which was a great regret.

That's just fate...

She sorted through the alchemist's notes left by Old Man Jiang in the alchemy room and decided to pay her respects to the deceased old man later, since the two were both teacher and friend, and had a close relationship despite their age difference.

and,

Although Old Man Jiang had a peculiar temper, he was indeed a man of great loyalty and righteousness. When Old Master Xiao fell ill, all the alchemists, guest elders, and other members of the clan who were honored with him left without a trace, but he stayed behind, all to repay the kindness Old Master Xiao had shown him.

This is why, although he was not surnamed Xiao, the Xiao family placed his memorial tablet in the ancestral hall.

"Old man, rest in peace. When I concoct the best medicine in the world, I will definitely burn it for you!"

Xiao Yue placed a pot of old wine in front of the grave.

He then left with a dashing silhouette, slowly departing.

……

……

……

Time flies,
Another year has passed in the blink of an eye.

"Xiao Yan, twelve years old, one-star Dou Zhe, no progress!"

The once dazzling genius of the Xiao family, who became a Dou Zhe at the age of eleven, now looked at the unchanged star rating on the assessment stone tablet with a grim expression.

The once noisy and bustling martial arts arena fell silent instantly, and the clan leaders and elders sitting in the main seats on the platform looked at each other in bewilderment.

On the high platform,
Xiao Zhan couldn't help but frown.

"Young Master Xiao Yan, please go down. There are others waiting to be tested..." Seeing the young man standing there with an unpleasant expression, the steward stepped forward with a complicated expression and said.

"call!"

Xiao Yan took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then silently walked down and quickly left the square.

"Brother Xiao Yan..."

far away,

Xiao Mei, a young girl in pink who already exuded charm at a young age, looked at his departing figure with a worried expression. She wanted to follow him to comfort him, but thinking that it was her turn to be tested soon, she stopped in her tracks, feeling conflicted and hesitant.

The members of the Xiao family in the training ground looked at each other in bewilderment. Although some of them had a bad relationship with Xiao Yan and cursed him to fall from his pedestal every day, when such a thing actually happened, they felt a little unreal.

"The rumors are true. Young Master Xiao Yan's cultivation has really stagnated. For a whole year, he hasn't made any progress at all. I'm afraid there might be something wrong with his body..." The audience whispered among themselves.

"Hehe, it must have run out of potential!"

"Hmph, serves him right, who told him to be so arrogant!"

"Now look what's happened. One sibling remains mysterious and unpredictable, while the other has clearly lost his creative spark..."

Some people secretly gloated, thinking that a generation of young talents had been overshadowed by Xiao Yan's genius. Whether they flocked to him, groveled, or were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred, there were many in the younger generation of the Xiao family who were secretly unhappy with his genius.

but,

Xiao Yan still possesses the strength of a Dou Zhe and hasn't completely fallen from grace, so those who are gloating can only mutter a few words in their hearts.

"Next up, Xiao Xun'er!"

Dressed in green, like a lotus flower,

Xiao Xun'er stood at the back of the crowd with an ethereal and elegant air. The girl held a book in her hand, with one hand across her waist and the other hand casually hanging by her side. The people around her looked at her with burning admiration, but dared not and did not want to go forward to disturb this quiet moment.

Perhaps influenced by someone, she also developed a love for books and formed the habit of carrying a classic book with her at all times.

This year,

The influence of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame in her bloodline grew stronger, making her, who was already aloof, even more so. She was gentle yet polite and distant in her dealings with others.

As the shining focus of the Xiao family, she has always been highly popular among the younger generation of the Xiao family.

She glanced at Xiao Yan's departing figure in the square, her brows furrowing slightly. After all, she had grown up in the Xiao family, and out of love for them, even if it was because of her sister Yue'er, she still cared about this family quite a bit.

……

……

……

The Xiao family's residence, behind the mountain.
Xiao Yue got up early to do her morning exercise in the courtyard. She didn't participate in the test this year either.
"Zheng!"

After finishing a set of punches, she went to the weapon rack, reached out and pulled out a large spear. It clanged loudly. The spear was thick and long, two heads taller than her, and its entire body was as red as blood, with a foot-long, bright red blade protruding from it, which was awe-inspiring.

This is a weapon she commissioned from the weapon master in Wutan City to be made for her. It is called Blood Dragon and its materials are very precious. It can be called the best gun in Wutan City!

In previous lives,
Whether it's Xingyi School, Taiji School, or Baji School, among all the various schools, wielding the spear is one of the most important aspects of kung fu.

The Xingyiquan she specializes in is a martial art that evolved from spear fighting.

In Xingyi Quan, there are three bodies, five elements, and twelve forms. The twelve forms refer to (dragon, tiger, monkey, horse, alligator, rooster, swallow, hawk, snake, bird, eagle, and bear).
Why are the masters of Xingyi Quan called masters? It's because they master the ultimate combined attack technique in the final twelve forms. Only by comprehending their own combined attack can they be called masters, forging their own path and establishing their own school.

For example, the spear technique of Shang-style Xingyi Quan is the Bear and Eagle Double Form. The founder of the school, Shang Yunxiang, created the unique killer move, which is the Bear and Eagle Combined Strike among the Twelve Forms.

as well as,

In her previous life, Xiao Yue had a close friend who was the same age as her. This friend created a unique skill called the Dragon-Snake Combination Strike and was also a master who had forged his own path.

Xiao Yue, who majored in Xingyi Quan, naturally possessed her own unique combined attack techniques as a grandmaster of Xingyi Quan.

Dragon and Tiger Dual Forms!

This is her own great spear technique, drawing inspiration from the dragon and tiger of the twelve forms. The dragon represents the spear, and the tiger represents the spirit. When a sage creates, all things are revealed! With the tiger spirit wielding the dragon spear, she kills enemies as easily as cutting grass!

"Oh!"

Xiao Yue brandished her spear, and suddenly the Blood Dragon in her hand trembled violently, sending a heavy training stone weighing a thousand pounds flying in the courtyard.

The boulder formed a graceful parabola.
bang
The stone landed precisely in front of the black-clad youth outside the courtyard; it was just a hair's breadth away from hitting his toes!

Xiao Yan: "..."

He was just passing by when, looking at the massive boulder that had fallen from the sky and almost hit him, Xiao Yan felt for a moment as if his great-grandmother was waving to him.
