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

Chapter 26 Confirming the Rumors
"Retest the ritual!"

Upon hearing the tester's announcement,

Under the watchful eyes of everyone present, Xiao Yue walked unhurriedly to the black stone tablet, her slender fingers extending out, her sleeve sliding down to reveal a section of her snow-white, slender wrist.

She gently stepped forward and pressed down. As the hidden energy was activated, the black stone tablet, after a moment of silence, suddenly burst forth with light...

Everyone watched intently.

"Crack!"

A moment later, a cracking sound rang out, and fine cracks gradually appeared on the black stone tablet.
As the black stone tablet completely cracked open, a series of gasps of astonishment filled the air, and the arena hummed like a ventilation system. Everyone's expression froze in that moment.
The air grew slightly still.

The black stone tablet has cracked...

Everyone fell silent. Only powerful families were qualified to possess such a test monument. It was extremely valuable and even a Grand Master could not easily break it.

Staring at the shattered stone tablet, the crowd paused for a moment before a slight commotion arose. The VIPs on both sides of the platform were also discussing among themselves, all with expressions of surprise and uncertainty.

"Cough, it seems this testing monument is broken..."

The tester next to him was also stunned when he saw this scene, but he quickly recovered and coughed, seemingly thinking of how to smooth things over.

however,
Just then, Xiao Yue smiled and said softly, "No, it's not broken, but my battle qi has far exceeded the range that the testing monument can withstand."

This is a lie…

After all, Xiao Yue really couldn't cultivate battle qi, so the testing tablet was naturally useless to her. However, she also figured it out: since no one believed that she couldn't cultivate battle qi, she might as well go all the way and confirm the rumor!

Xiao Yue also had her own considerations. The martial arts system she cultivated was completely different from that of this world. If it were exposed, it would inevitably bring some unnecessary trouble. Perhaps it would be better to reveal the truth and spread martial arts throughout the world when she had fully developed this martial arts system to its limit and reached the pinnacle of the world.

at this time,

Upon hearing her words, the audience erupted in astonishment, staring at Xiao Yue in disbelief.

That testing stele was specifically used to test battle qi. No one had ever heard of anyone's battle qi being so powerful as to exceed the testing stele's tolerance. Both the Xiao family members and the guests watching the ceremony from the high platform were filled with doubt.

...

At this time,

The tester also came to his senses. Considering the situation, he quickly filled in a lot of blanks in his mind. He looked at Xiao Yue, a hint of awe and understanding flashing in his eyes, and then loudly announced:
"Xiao Yue, Battle Qi Level: Undetectable!"

Upon hearing this result,

Everyone present was speechless. Some believed this was a deliberate move by the Xiao family to create mystery and keep people guessing whether their precious daughter was a genius or a good-for-nothing, thus indirectly protecting her. "What's the Xiao family up to?"

Someone in the VIP section expressed their dissatisfaction.
Many of them were envoys sent by forces from other cities in the surrounding area, or even the capital, to attend this ceremony in order to verify the rumors and assess the strength of the younger generation of the Xiao family!

But after traveling all this way, what's the result? They won't show you anything!
I'm so angry, but I can't really say anything...

After all, the Xiao family used to be a prominent family in the empire. Even though they have declined considerably, they still have a lot of people paying attention to them!

Even a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although the Xiao family had made many enemies in the past, they had also had numerous marriage alliances with the powerful families of the empire, making their relationships quite complex.

Take Xiao's mother, Liu Yan, for example. Although she is just an ordinary person, her family is not weak. If Xiao's mother is wronged, she can go to her family to complain. Her brothers, sisters, father, and so on will naturally stand up for her as a solid support. Don't underestimate the cohesion of any family. Although there may be occasional internal strife, when facing external enemies, unity is the only option.

Moreover, the Xiao family and the renowned Nalan family of the empire have an unfinished marriage agreement, which means that if anyone wants to harm the Xiao family, they will have to give priority to the Nalan family, even if it's just for the sake of the Nalan family.

Faced with other people's opinions,
Xiao Yue showed no unusual expression. Amidst the surprised and suspicious gazes of the crowd, she turned around and walked off the stage. As she approached, the clansmen of the same age in front of her automatically made way for her.

Although no one could sense the fluctuations of her battle aura, it could not conceal the fact that she possessed the aura of a powerful figure.

"That really does sound like Sister Yue'er's style..."

Xiao Xun'er covered her mouth and chuckled softly. As one of her closest relatives, she knew this older sister all too well.

Although Xiao Qinglin couldn't understand, her eyes sparkled as she looked at the silver-haired figure who stood calmly under everyone's gaze, her cute face filled with admiration.

On the viewing platform,

Ya Fei gazed at the silver-haired figure in the room with her beautiful eyes. After a moment's hesitation, she parted her rosy lips and began to chat with Xiao's mother, who was sitting next to her, with a charming smile.

It's unclear what she said to the elegant and beautiful woman next to her, but under her increasingly affectionate older sisterly charm, Xiao's mother and she got along quite well.

"My older sister is just like my older sister. She says she's not good at showing off, but she's clearly better at it than me..." Xiao Yan rubbed his nose and complained to Yao Chen.

Upon hearing this, Yao Chen rolled his eyes, thinking to himself, "You're quite self-aware, knowing that you like to show off."

Faced with the dissatisfaction expressed by the visiting guests, Xiao Zhan and the elders and senior members of the clan were at a loss, exchanging wry smiles.

"This girl..."

resignedly,

Xiao Zhan had no choice but to step forward and announce the next step in the coming-of-age ceremony – the banquet.
