Traveling through Uncle Xiao Yan, I got the Erlang Shen template

Chapter 80 Old Friend
"Come on, it's your turn now."

Yang Chen reached out and patted Xiao Yan's shoulder, then gently pushed the young man towards the huge wooden platform.

Seeing Yang Chen coming, everyone on the platform stood up immediately. Every respectful face had a flattering smile, but Yang Chen ignored them one by one.

"Young Master Yang, how about sitting here?"

Yang Chen's footsteps paused slightly, and he looked at the charming woman in front of him who was smiling. His eyes flickered slightly, and then he glanced around. After pausing at Xiao Zhan who was not far away, a cold look flashed in his eyes, and he looked away with a bit of disdain, nodded lightly, and sat down next to Ya Fei.

Ya Fei, who had taken in Yang Chen's expression just now, had a strange look in her mind, but it was quickly suppressed.

After glancing at Xiao Zhan not far away, Ya Fei looked at Yang Chen, who was sitting on the side away from Xiao Zhan. A strange light flashed in her fox eyes, and she sat down with a faint smile.

The second elder Xiao Ying, who was sitting next to Xiao Zhan, felt relieved when he saw that Yang Chen's gaze did not linger on him, and he quickly spoke out loudly.

"Next, Xiao Yan!"

Xiao Yan, who was standing in the audience, immediately stepped forward upon hearing the voice, with excitement and anticipation in his eyes, as if he had seen his uncle's happy expression after seeing his rapid improvement in strength.

However, Xiao Yan overlooked one thing. With Yang Chen's strength, he could see his strength at a glance.

But soon, Xiao Yan, who was originally very excited, felt uncomfortable because of the complicated coming-of-age ceremony, and stood there for a full quarter of an hour before it ended.

The next moment, Xiao Yan, whose body was already sprinkled with various spices, was excited again. Following the loud shouts of the Second Elder, he walked to the black stone inspection monument.

"Retest the ritual!"

Different from the prediction made a month ago, the prediction was just to make a simple distinction. Only the tribesmen with stronger strength and outstanding talents were qualified to have such a complicated and high-standard coming-of-age ceremony. This was the recognition of the family. For those tribesmen with weaker strength, the coming-of-age ceremony would undoubtedly be much more shabby.

According to the prediction a month ago, Xiao Yan had already reached the ninth level of Dou Qi. Therefore, many members of the Xiao family were curious about Xiao Yan's strength.

The genius who broke through to the Fighter level at the age of twelve, this genius who cultivated from the third stage of Fighting Qi to the ninth stage of Fighting Qi in just eleven months, can he create a miracle again and successfully break through from the third stage of Fighting Qi to the Fighter level in just one year!

If he could make it bigger, then there would be no doubt that Xiao Yan would break the record of the fastest breakthrough to the Fighter Realm in the entire Jia Ma Empire. It is even very likely that no one would be able to break it in the future.

Therefore, as the second elder Xiao Ying shouted, countless people's eyes fell on Xiao Yan.

Under the gazes of countless people, Xiao Yan took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and gently placed his hand on the huge black stone tablet.

On the tall wooden platform, a huge black stone tablet glowed with light, and four large golden characters reflected the incredulous faces of countless people.

"Fighter, one star!"

Silence, the whole place was silent. Countless people looked at the young man standing on the stage in disbelief. In just one year, he had reached the third level of fighting spirit and became a one-star fighter. This was simply a miracle.

Xiao Yan looked around, his gaze sweeping through pairs of shocked, disbelieving eyes, and he felt a surge of pride in his heart. Back then, he had become a genius in the eyes of the world, a dragon among men that his peers could hardly even dream of. Now, even after three years of silence, he, Xiao Yan, was still the genius he had been back then!
Genius never dies, it lies dormant just to make the leap to the dragon gate!

Nalan Yanran, I'm back. Two years later, I will definitely prove to you and everyone that I, Xiao Yan, am not a waste!

Xiao Yan, who was feeling extremely happy, felt a lump in his throat and his eyes instantly turned red when he met those gentle, smiling eyes. However, Xiao Yan forced himself to hold it back and just smiled silently at Yang Chen. When he saw Yang Chen nod with a smile, his smile became even wider.

Xiao Zhan, who was sitting in the middle, felt relieved and looked at Xiao Yan with a smile on his face. However, he saw that Xiao Yan didn't even look at him. He just stared at Yang Chen. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Young Master Yang, the Third Young Master's talent for cultivation is truly astonishing. Young Master Yang must have put a lot of thought into it, right?"

Ya Fei, who was sitting next to Yang Chen, was stunned for a long while before turning to look at Yang Chen. There was a hint of inquiry in her beautiful eyes as she spoke softly with her red lips.

Yang Chen glanced at Ya Fei, his gaze lingered on the Miter family emblem on Ya Fei's chest for a moment, and then he spoke with a half-smile.

"There shouldn't be many people in the Mittel family who are as curious as you, right?"

"Perhaps, Ya Fei is one of the few?"

Ya Fei lowered her head to look at the badge on her chest, her eyes flickered slightly, and there was a hint of tentativeness in her words. She also leaned slightly towards Yang Chen, looking as if she wanted to get closer.

"I know you."

Yang Chen did not respond to Ya Fei's question. Instead, he changed the subject and chuckled. Seeing Ya Fei's eyebrows slightly furrowed and a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes, he said it with a bit of a joke.

"It seems that you have forgotten me. Ten years ago, your parents bought a large estate at a low price."

Ya Fei's pupils suddenly shrank, her beautiful red lips slightly parted, and she looked at Yang Chen in astonishment, not saying a word for a long time.

About eleven years ago, Yafei's father was the butler of the Miter family. Her parents had acquired a large property at a very low price. It was because of this that her father was able to enter the Council of Elders. Shortly thereafter, her parents were beheaded due to family infighting.

At that time, Ya Fei, who was only thirteen or fourteen years old, had already determined that she did not have a good talent for cultivation, so she followed along. Yang Chen was only ten years old at that time.

"It seems that Concubine Ya and Young Master Yang are quite compatible."

Ya Fei pursed her red lips lightly, suppressed the complicated expression on her face, smiled again, and said with a chuckle.

"Actually, I should thank you. If you hadn't acquired my Yang family's assets in time, perhaps you wouldn't be able to see me today."

Yang Chen chuckled softly. His situation back then was extremely dangerous. If he hadn't been decisive enough and dived into the Monster Mountain Range, he would have died before he had the chance he has now.

To be honest, he owed Ya Fei a little favor.
