Chapter 25, the grand finale.
"Xiao Yu, ninth level of Dou Qi, excellent!"

After glancing at the black stone tablet, the indifferent examiner nodded slightly and announced in a deep voice.

After the coming-of-age ceremony, the most important strength test will take place. This is especially important for some clansmen who were at the sixth level of fighting power last year. Whether they can stay in Wutan City depends on this test. If they fail to meet the standard, they will be sent to other places to explore.

Hearing the tester's voice, Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Then, a hint of pride appeared on her pretty face. This progress was enough to rank her in the top five in the family, and she would become a Dou Zhe in two months. Such excellent results were enough to make her proud.

"As expected of the Grand Elder's granddaughter, she's truly exceptional. Judging by her appearance, she's about to become a true warrior! She's a woman who doesn't yield to men!"

"My sister is awesome!"

"A boy said happily."

quickly,

The scene caused a stir, and the VIP areas on both sides of the platform were also abuzz with discussion, marveling at how many talented people the Xiao family had indeed produced in recent years.

"Tch, this aptitude is barely passable, just so-so..." Xiao Yan muttered under his breath, leaning against a tree trunk.

As a genius who broke through to the Dou Zhe level at the age of eleven, he has the right to make such a comment. If he weren't only fourteen years old and wouldn't have been selected for the coming-of-age ceremony test, his current Dou Zhe level of seven stars would have shocked everyone.

With the help of the old man who accompanied him, his cultivation level improved by leaps and bounds.

"Little Yanzi, don't be arrogant or impatient. Being an eleven-year-old Dou Zhe is nothing special. The word 'genius' is just an entry ticket on the real stage of Dou Qi Continent. The continent has no shortage of geniuses." Yao Chen said calmly.

"Okay, okay, old man, you're so long-winded!"

Xiao Yan curled his lip.

He was just indulging in some empty talk. After all, with such a powerful older sister ahead of him, he might not be able to keep up even if he tried his best, so he couldn't be arrogant.

"You kid..."

Seeing his nonchalant attitude, Yao Chen couldn't help but chuckle.

...

On the high platform,
The First Elder glanced around, then frowned and asked Xiao Zhan, who was seated at the head of the table, "Patriarch, why hasn't Xiao Yue arrived yet? This isn't like the tests of previous years; with so many foreign guests present, this isn't a time for her to be willful. If she misses her coming-of-age ceremony..."

"Elder, don't worry. Yue'er knows what she's doing. I specifically told her yesterday that she will definitely come back this time." Before Xiao Zhan could reply, the beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes beside him spoke up first to defend her daughter.

"Ahem, Madam is right, Yue'er isn't the kind of person who lacks manners!" Xiao Zhan said with a laugh.

In truth, the couple wasn't entirely sure either, given their daughter's quiet and unassuming personality, anything could happen.

...

...

"Xiao Yue!"

The tester's usually indifferent voice took on a slightly different tone under this name.

Time passes little by little,

However, the silver-haired figure that everyone had been eagerly anticipating still hadn't appeared, and even the couple in the main seats above couldn't help but feel tense. "Here he comes!"

I don't know who said it,
All eyes were drawn to the main gate at the entrance to the square.
The silver-haired woman at the head of the group slowly walked into the square. She was tall and slender, with a slightly heroic air about her. Her silver robe with blood patterns gave her an undeniable, unique, and icy metallic charm.

Xiao Yue led Xiao Xun'er by the hand and slowly walked into the square, with the little maid Qing Lin following closely behind them.

The arena was somewhat silent, with pairs of eyes fixed on them, not blinking.

Xiao Yue, holding the hand of the girl beside her, bowed slightly and paid her respects to the couple on the high platform.

"You little rascal, you've finally arrived! Honestly, you always arrive right on time, I was so worried." The gentle and beautiful woman on the platform breathed a sigh of relief and scolded her playfully.

"After all, the main character is always the last to appear..." Xiao Yue replied with a light laugh. Of course, this was just normal banter between family members.

After saying that, she released Xiao Xun'er's soft little hand, took a step, and slowly walked towards the stage.

On the high platform,

All the family's senior members and distinguished guests who came to observe the ceremony stopped their hushed conversations and focused their attention on the most dazzling jewel of the Xiao family.

To the outside world, Xiao Yue has always been shrouded in mystery. Despite publicly claiming that she cannot cultivate battle qi and has never participated in a single test, and has never shown her true strength to outsiders, she seems to possess some kind of magical power, and has been praised as one of the three geniuses of the Xiao family, and is even recognized as the number one.

There's a reason for this, after all, Xiao Yue's aura as the number one martial artist under the starry sky in her previous life was undeniable.

Moreover, as a martial artist, if one is pure and sincere enough in one's pursuit of martial arts, the art of boxing can change a person's character, turning a timid person into a bold one, and a fiery person into a reserved and profound one, thus cultivating one's temperament and character.

The subtle aura he exudes alone is enough to convince many people; the charisma he displays in every gesture is undeniable, impossible to ignore, and makes him someone no one dares to provoke.

In addition, the old madman in the clan who was obsessed with alchemy during his lifetime was a close friend of hers despite their age difference, and called her a peerless genius in medicine, which is the second reason.

Meanwhile, rumors circulated that someone had personally witnessed her dragging the carcass of a giant monster across the snow in the Monster Mountain Range.

Even more exaggerated claims suggest that she had already broken through to the Great Battle Master level, for example, by using another identity in the underworld of Wutan City, transforming into a notorious witch, and the leader of the recently risen power—the Blood Moon Tower, etc.

Other rumors spread and became increasingly exaggerated, and Xiao Yue was praised so highly in this atmosphere.

of course,

Such praise doesn't seem wrong; those who truly know the truth are well aware that the truth is far more mysterious than the rumors circulating...

Anyway, opinions vary widely.

Some are skeptical, while others think it's just a charade, but regardless, today is the day to unveil the secret!

"Xiao Yue, the test begins!"

As the ceremony began, pairs of eyes filled with curiosity and skepticism immediately shifted from the VIP seats on the high platform. A major reason they were participating in the Xiao family's coming-of-age ceremony today was to confirm whether the number one prodigy who had recently been making headlines in Wutan City was truly as rumored.

Ya Fei stared intently at the silver-haired figure in the arena. After so many years of cooperation, she was one of the few people in the arena who knew that Xiao Yue was the witch herself. But even though she knew this, she was still full of curiosity about the true cultivation level of that mysterious silver-haired girl.

Xiao Zhan and his wife, along with the three elders of the clan, had solemn expressions, but also a hint of curiosity. In fact, they were also very curious to know what stage Xiao Yue had reached at this moment.
