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

Chapter 8 Test
Time flies by quickly.

Eight years have passed in the blink of an eye.

"Xiao Yan, Dou Zhe, One Star!!!"

Beside the magic stone tablet, a middle-aged man glanced at the information displayed on the tablet, gasped, and then loudly announced it.

The middle-aged man had barely uttered his words when, unsurprisingly, a commotion erupted in the surging crowd of the square.

"Tsk tsk, starting cultivation at five years old, becoming a Dou Zhe at eleven, truly remarkable! There are probably only a handful like that in the entire Jia Ma Empire!"

"At this rate, given time, my Xiao family will surely produce another Dou Huang expert to lead the Xiao family back to its peak!"

"Truly worthy of being one of the most talented individuals in the family for hundreds of years!"

The protagonist of this story, the ten-year-old black-clad boy Xiao Yan, stands calmly and composed, surrounded by other boys his age in the clan.

Some people don't need to deliberately show off; a casual gesture reveals their extraordinary nature. Without a doubt, the young man in black was such a person—outstanding, spirited, and like a crane standing among chickens.

The other young members of the Xiao family around him looked at him with a hint of awe in their eyes. Of course, there were also occasional glimpses of jealousy in the crowd.

"Tch, what are you pretending for? You're probably secretly overjoyed!" A boy in the crowd muttered sarcastically.

"Xiao Ning, you should change your petty and narrow-minded nature..." A tall, long-legged girl next to him frowned and whispered a reprimand to her younger brother.

However, after the other party finished speaking, a strange look couldn't help but flash in his eyes. That was an eleven-year-old fighter!

"Next up, Xiao Mei!"

Hearing the test taker's shout, a girl quickly ran out from the crowd. As soon as the girl in pink appeared, the surrounding chatter subsided considerably.

The girl in pink quickly stepped forward, her small hands expertly touching the dark magic stone tablet. Then she slowly closed her eyes, and after a moment, the dark magic stone tablet lit up again.

"Battle Aura: Level Four!"

"Xiao Mei, Battle Qi: Level 4! Excellent result!" The examiner announced loudly, his voice noticeably calmer this time.

"Four levels of Dou Qi, I remember Xiao Mei was only ten years old. Such cultivation at this age is quite impressive. Although she can't compare to Young Master Xiao Yan at all, she is still a seed-level figure in the family..." The crowd was still praising her, but the reaction was noticeably less intense.

Battle Qi is an essential path for every fighter. The initial stage of Battle Qi is divided into ten levels. When the Battle Qi in the body reaches the tenth level, one can condense a Battle Qi vortex and become a respected fighter.

"yeah!"

After hearing the tester announce the results, the girl named Xiao Mei jumped up and made a V-sign with two fingers.

"Brother Xiao Yan, I'm at the fourth level of Dou Qi! I didn't disappoint you, did I, hee hee!" The girl ran up to the boy Xiao Yan, hugged his arm, and said cheerfully.

"Um…"

The black-clad youth, Xiao Yan, gave a cold "hmm," and then there was no further explanation.

...

"Next up, Xiao Xun'er!"

In the noisy crowd,

The tester's voice rang out again.

As the somewhat elegant name was uttered, the crowd suddenly fell silent, and all eyes abruptly shifted.

Where everyone's attention was focused, a girl in a purple dress stood calmly.

The girl in purple possessed a cool and aloof temperament, like a lotus just beginning to bloom. At such a young age, she already exuded an ethereal charm. It was hard to imagine how stunningly beautiful she would become when she grew up.

This girl in the purple dress was undoubtedly more beautiful and had a better temperament than Xiao Mei, which explained why everyone present reacted this way.

With delicate, graceful steps, the girl named Xiao Xun'er approached the magic stone tablet. She stretched out her small hand, her purple sleeve, embroidered with black and gold thread, sliding down to reveal a section of her fair and delicate wrist. She then lightly touched the stone tablet.

After a brief silence, the dazzling light on the stone tablet flared up once more.

"Fighter, one star!!"

A hush fell over the arena as people gazed at the inscription on the stone tablet. "...It's...it's also a Fighter!"

After the silence, everyone involuntarily gasped again.

Beside the boy in black, the girl in pink named Xiao Mei pouted and frowned as she stared at the girl in purple in front of the stone tablet, a hint of jealousy flashing across her face.

Looking at the information on the stone tablet, even the usually indifferent middle-aged tester showed a rare hint of respect.

"Um…"

The girl in purple nodded slightly, her calm face showing no joy despite the praise.

Xiao Xun'er quietly turned around and glanced at the crowd. Clearly, the person she was looking for wasn't there, so a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

"She didn't come for the test this year either..."

The girl in purple murmured something softly, and then, under the intense gaze of the crowd, slowly walked down.

That makes sense. That person doesn't cultivate battle qi, so this kind of pointless battle power test is utter nonsense to that woman.

...

...

"Next up, Xiao Yue!"

The tester's voice rang out again in the room.

The room fell silent again.

Even Xiao Yan, who had been indifferent, looked around with the crowd, trying to find that silver-haired figure who stood out in the Xiao family.

Xiao Xun'er was also somewhat looking forward to that person's appearance, but this wait could only be in vain.

"Sigh, he didn't come again this year!"

Seeing that no one responded, the middle-aged tester clicked his tongue, but he wasn't angry, as if he was already used to it.

The other people in the square were used to it, but there was still no shortage of discussion.

Xiao Yue,

This name is the most mysterious and unpredictable in the eyes of the Xiao family, without exception. After all, she is ranked first among the three undisputed prodigies of the Xiao family.

As for why she is considered mysterious?
The main reason is that this young lady of the Xiao family has always been a loner. At such a young age, she dared to move to the back mountain to live alone, and to this day, no one knows her true cultivation level.

Although she has claimed all these years that she is unable to cultivate battle qi.
But clearly, nobody believed it…

People were unwilling to believe that the almost perfect silver-haired girl couldn't cultivate battle qi; instead, they preferred to believe she was a genius.

"They have such different personalities. Both are geniuses, but the older sister is low-key and mysterious, while the younger brother is so flamboyant and spirited..." someone in the crowd couldn't help but mutter to themselves.

Although his voice was soft, it was still heard by Xiao Yan, who was not far away.

Xiao Yan didn't show any unusual reaction to this. He had been compared to his sister since he was a child, so he was used to it.

but,

so what?

He didn't care about other people's opinions! In his previous life, Xiao Yan was just an extremely ordinary member of the masses. Money and power were like two parallel lines to him, never intersecting.

However, when he arrived on this Dou Qi Continent, his aptitude test at the age of five surprised him. Because of his two lifetimes, his soul was much stronger than that of ordinary people!
It is important to know that in the Dou Qi Continent, the soul is innate. It may become slightly stronger with age, but there is no cultivation method that can cultivate the soul independently, not even a Heaven-rank cultivation method! This is common knowledge in the Dou Qi Continent.

The strengthening of his soul created his talent for cultivation, and also earned him the reputation of a genius.

Therefore,
After he began cultivating battle qi, he did not choose to keep a low profile like his sister and grow quietly! Instead, he chose the path of becoming a genius who would be admired by the world!
"So what if my older sister chose a low-key path? As long as I can maintain my reputation as a genius and continue to shine, that's enough! One day I'll stand at the top of this world..." Xiao Yan thought to himself.

In this life,
He wanted everyone to look up to him!
