Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, I am your second master

Chapter 307 Grandfather and Grandson's Performance

Mang Tianchi had been in seclusion for some time and had just emerged from seclusion. Due to a previous stroke of luck, he broke through to the Dou Sheng realm. After emerging from seclusion, he participated in the ancient clan's coming-of-age ceremony.

Mang Tianchi, who had become a Dou Sheng, no longer needed to be the team leader. However, unable to resist his love of excitement, he led the team on his own. What he found was quite astonishing.

Mang Tianchi glanced at the two old dogs, his fists clenched: "It's you again! You're really shameless, you won't behave! Alright, Xiao Li, put away your pressure, they're about to die."

Since Mang Tianchi has spoken, Xiao Li will naturally give him face.

"This is the first and last time. Those watching from behind are also listening. If you have any objections, just say them to my face. What is the point of letting these bastards out?"

Let me make this clear today: Xiao Yan has taken away the most precious flower of your ancient clan. If you're unhappy, feel free to find some young people to compete with him. Only those who can defeat Xiao Yan will be considered!

"If anyone dares to bully the weak, then let them try against me. I wonder how many punches you cunning old fogies can withstand!"

Xiao Li's words could be described as extremely arrogant.

"How dare you! Let this old man test your strength, you brat! Let me tell you young people, don't be so arrogant!" Sure enough, an old man was provoked into speaking up.

boom-

The powerful Dou Sheng had just peeked out and appeared in the sky above the plaza when he was sent flying backwards, crashing into a distant mountain and creating a deep hole.

"this one?"

Xiao Li's figure had already appeared in mid-air. He slowly withdrew his right hand, looked into the distance, and locked onto several auras with his soul power, shouting, "Who else?!"

Although the owners of those auras were furious, they did not step forward. They had seen that the elder before was a late-stage four-star Dou Sheng! Yet he fell down with a single punch.

The strongest among them is only a five-star Dou Sheng in the early stage, and he doesn't look like he can withstand more than a few punches, let alone the others who haven't even reached the three-star Dou Sheng level. They might die with just one punch.

"Hmph! To be old and not die is to be a thief!"

After cursing, Xiao Li returned to the ground, his cold eyes sweeping over the Black Annihilation Army, who all retreated to make way.

"Holy crap, one punch and he's a Dou Sheng? Am I dreaming?" Mang Tianchi was dumbfounded. The joy of breaking through to Dou Sheng was gone. There was a gap even among Dou Sheng experts!

"Let's go." Xiao Li led Xiao Yan and the others inside.

At this moment, Gu Shan, who was "in the shadows," swallowed hard. It had been too terrifying just now. He quietly left, afraid that he would be targeted by Xiao Li.

Deep within the ancient realm, the ancient path asked, "Is this really a good idea, clan leader? Letting that brat run wild?"

Gu Yuan sat there and said, "What's the rush? These old guys have been in power for too long, and they are indeed a bit arrogant. I talked with Xiao Li yesterday and I did get some insights."

I am indeed getting old and don't like to argue, but they've started targeting my daughter. Do they really think I don't have a temper?

Xun'er will definitely take over the ancient clan in the future. If these old guys still don't know their place, they will only be purged! Our ancient clan doesn't need these bloodsucking old guys either.

The three immortals of the ancient clan nodded. They, along with their clan leader Gu Yuan and the Black Annihilation King Gu Lie, were the top combat force of the ancient clan.

Below that, there are only four six-star Dou Sheng elders and eight five-star Dou Sheng elders. There are a lot of elders below the five-star Dou Sheng level, and most of them are hovering around the two-star Dou Sheng level.

These low-level Dou Sheng elders have one thing in common: they rely too much on the Dou Di bloodline. Their breakthroughs were smooth sailing, but after breaking through to Dou Sheng, they faced numerous bottlenecks!

Unable to advance further, they began to squander the power they held, eventually becoming power-hungry individuals.

The three immortals of the ancient clan sensed that their clan leader was different, and that a major purge was likely to be coming to the clan soon.

In the square, everyone had arrived. Xiao Li took his seat in his designated spot, drawing glances from many people of other races—some curious, some scrutinizing, some wary, and some admiring…

Xiao Li ignored these things and instead used his soul power to scan the area. Apart from the fact that the Spirit Clan had probably been wiped out, no one from the Stone Clan had come either.

Xiao Li guessed what was going on and looked at the several black-robed figures not far away. With a faint smile on his face, the black-robed men immediately felt a chill run down their spines.

The people from the Soul Clan were the last to want to be targeted by Xiao Li. Since entering the Ancient Holy City, they had no intention of communicating with anyone related to the Xiao Clan, fearing that they would be killed by the Yin-Yang Saint.

The Xiao Clan and the Soul Clan are sworn enemies. The Yin-Yang Saint killed many people from their affiliated force, the Soul Hall, making him a veritable executioner. They didn't want to lose their lives, so the Soul Clan kept a low profile after entering the Ancient Realm.

The ceremony began as scheduled, and the young people of the ancient tribe started to step forward one after another to be awarded the tribal emblem.

"Second Master, you can do clan markings like this? It was so difficult for me when I was cultivating my clan markings," Xiao Yan murmured.

. . . . . .

Xiao Li flicked Xiao Yan on the forehead: "Didn't I tell you before? Our Xiao clan's clan mark is cultivated, making us stronger than other clans! Stop looking, you're the protagonist from now on."

Xiao Yan rubbed his head and chuckled, "Alright, Second Master, you just finished your performance, you were really good at it, now your grandson has to do it too! Watch me!"

"Ancient Demon, your turn!"

The ancient demon stood up and came to the star chart. Eight stars shone brightly, indicating an eighth-grade bloodline and a purple-gold clan mark!

After the ancient demon clan emblem was bestowed, Xiao Yan stood up, stretched his body, and walked out as well.

Gu Yao looked at Xiao Yan with sharp eyes: "You should know that I came here for you. If you want to be able to talk and laugh freely in the Ancient Clan, then show your true strength. Otherwise, the way others look at you will always be filled with ridicule and pity."

Now I'm giving you this opportunity. You can challenge me. Of course, whether you have the courage is up to you. However, I hope that if you refuse, you will leave the Ancient Realm today..."

Xiao Yan chuckled, "I didn't expect someone as cold as you to be able to say so much? Are you done? If you are, let's begin!"

The ancient demon snorted coldly: "You're still as arrogant as ever. Fine, let's begin..."

boom-

The moment Gu Yao finished speaking, he was sent flying like a cannonball. This scene seemed familiar, just like how Yin Yang Saint had just sent that Dou Sheng Elder flying in the same way.

boom-

The ancient demon was slammed into the wall of the main hall not far away, its entire body embedded there, impossible to pry out.

"Hmph! I thought you were much stronger? Is that all?" Xiao Yan said with a faint smile.

Xiao Yan's strength astonished everyone present! He killed an eight-star Dou Zun with a single punch! And that was the Asura Commander of the Ancient Clan.

Everyone here is a member of the imperial clan, so they naturally know that Gu Yao is no pushover. Yet he was instantly killed by Xiao Yan with a single punch? If it weren't for the undeniable reality right before their eyes, they would definitely think it was all nonsense just by listening!

"Alright! Next, Gu Qingyang, Gu Hua, and Gu Xing, you are the remaining three commanders of the Black Annihilation Army. Go and be granted your clan insignia first. Then, fight me again. In the end, strength will decide everything."

You don't want to end up like that noisy guy who couldn't take a beating!

Xiao Yan spoke slowly, his words filled with frivolity, causing even the most good-tempered Gu Qingyang to clench his fists.

Next, Gu Qingyang, Gu Hua, and Gu Xing stepped forward one after another to bestow the clan emblem.

Gu Hua and Gu Xing, like Gu Yao, all possessed eighth-grade bloodlines, while Gu Qingyang had an even higher ninth-grade bloodline!

Gu Qingyang, Gu Xing, and Gu Hua did not leave, but stood on the arena. They could not leave, because if they left, it would mean that the younger generation of the Gu clan had been completely defeated by Xiao Yan.

"I don't believe it! I'm not convinced! Come on!" A furious roar came, and an ancient demon with torn clothes and blood flowing from his mouth and nose flew over, holding a long spear and staring intently at Xiao Yan.
