Battle Through the Heavens: Achievement System at the Start

Ignoring the whispers below, Xiao Yao strolled over to Xun'er, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said, "Xun'er, you're next. Maybe your test result will be even higher than mine."

Upon hearing Xiao Yao's words, Xun'er blushed slightly and said to her brother Xiao Yao, "How could I possibly be better than you, Brother Xiao Yao? If I reach the Dou Zhe level, tonight, Brother Xiao Yao, you'll tell me a new story, okay?"

Looking at Xun'er's adorable face, Xiao Yao affectionately patted Xun'er's head: "Okay, as long as Xun'er reaches the level of a Dou Zhe, I will cook something delicious tonight, and while we enjoy the food, I will tell you a good story."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan quickly chimed in, "Really? Brother Yao, you're going to tell a story tonight? Then I'll be there on time tonight. Xun'er, good luck! Whether we get to hear a new story tonight depends on you."

"Cousin Xiao Yao, um... can I come along too?" Xiao Mei asked softly, fidgeting with the hem of her dress.

"It's okay, you can come along if you want."

When Xun'er heard the tester call her name, she took a deep breath and gracefully walked onto the testing platform.

Xun'er looked at the black stone tablet in front of her, stretched out her small hand, revealing her fair and tender arm like a lotus flower, and then gently touched the stone tablet.

Her body trembled slightly on the testing platform, as if she were merging with the battle qi.

Everyone present held their breath, watching Xun'er's performance in silence.

After a short while, the blinding light on the stone tablet reappeared.

"Fighter: One Star!"

The tester nodded in satisfaction after seeing the results: "Miss Xun'er, this is your first test this year, and the results are very good. I hope you will continue your efforts."

Xun'er walked down amidst cheers and applause, looking at Xiao Yao with a grin: "Brother Xiao Yao, I did it! I'm waiting for you to cook something delicious for me tonight."

"Then let's walk back first." Xiao Yao reached out and took Xun'er's little hand, walking towards their own courtyard.

As night fell, a gentle breeze swept away the daytime heat and brought a touch of coolness. The distant mountains appeared and disappeared in the twilight, as if veiled in mystery.

Xiao Yao deftly took out an iron rack from his storage ring and placed it steadily on the ground. Then he took out a barbecue grill and a special grilling mesh from the system supermarket, lit the charcoal, and the flames leaped and gradually spread, preparing for the barbecue.

Next, Xiao Yao neatly placed the prepared meat and various ingredients on the barbecue grill.

Based on his experience and intuition, he adjusted the position of the ingredients to ensure that each piece of meat was heated evenly.

As the temperature of the charcoal fire gradually rises, the food begins to sizzle, releasing a fragrant aroma that permeates the entire courtyard.

Xiao Yao would occasionally dip a brush into the special seasoning and spread it evenly on the ingredients to make them more flavorful.

Xun'er watched Xiao Yao skillfully grill the meat, and smelling the fragrant aroma, she couldn't help but ask, "Brother Xiao Yao, is it ready yet? Give me one of the honey-flavored grilled meats from before."

"Not yet, but I know you like sweets, so you'll be able to eat them soon."

Xiao Yao skillfully flipped the ingredients, ensuring each side was cooked to perfection. Flames danced on the charcoal, adding an alluring sheen to the food.

After a while, Xiao Yao looked at the almost cooked roast meat and poured a layer of honey on it. Under the heat of the flames, the honey seeped into the meat.

Xiao Yao handed the honey-flavored roasted meat to Xun'er.

Just then, Xiao Yan and Xiao Mei walked in, breaking the peaceful atmosphere.

Xiao Yao looked up at them with a smile on his face, "You're here. Perfect timing, you can try the barbecue I just grilled."

Xiao Yao placed the roasted meat on plates, drizzled sauce on them, and handed them to each of them.

Xiao Yan took the grilled meat, took a small bite, and his eyes lit up immediately. "Mmm, it's the sweet and spicy flavor I like. I never get tired of the grilled meat that Brother Yao makes."

Xiao Mei also took a bite of the grilled meat, and a happy smile appeared on her face. "Cousin Xiao Yao, the grilled meat you made is really delicious, and the honey sauce tastes very special too."

"I'm glad you like it. I'll make you more delicious food in the future." After saying that, he got busy again, continuing to grill other ingredients.

At this moment, a young girl walked in. She was tall and had long legs.

She looked at Xiao Yan and the others, her brows furrowing slightly, seemingly somewhat displeased.

She stood in front of Xiao Yan with her hands on her hips: "Xiao Yan and Xiao Mei, well, you two didn't even invite your cousin to come and eat barbecue."

Xiao Yao was slightly taken aback, then recognized her. "Oh, it's Cousin Xiao Yu. We just decided to come on a whim."

Xiao Mei greeted her with a smile, "Cousin Xiao Yu, we were just about to call you, but we didn't expect you to come to us on your own." Her tone was playful.

Hearing their words, Xiao Yu's expression softened slightly. "You two little rascals, next time you'd better tell me in advance, or I'll get angry." She glared at them, pretending to be angry.

Xiao Yao and the others quickly apologized, "We're sorry, Cousin Xiao Yu, we'll definitely let you know in advance next time." As he spoke, he picked up a piece of roasted meat and handed it to Xiao Yu, "Here, try this, I guarantee you'll like it."

Xiao Yu took the grilled meat, took a small bite, and was instantly captivated by its delicious flavor. A satisfied smile immediately appeared on her face. "Xiao Yao, your grilling skills are really amazing. With this skill alone, you're sure to attract countless girls to fall for you."

Xiao Yao smiled and continued grilling the meat. After a period of patient waiting and careful tending, Xiao Yao finally finished grilling this batch of ingredients.

He used a spatula to remove the grilled ingredients and placed them on a plate, ready to share the delicious food with them.

After Xiao Yao and the others had eaten and drunk their fill, Xun'er rested her chin on her hands, looked at Xiao Yao with a smile, and said, "Brother Xiao Yao, what do you think we should do after we've eaten? Hehe."

"I knew you wanted to hear a story. Fine, tell me a completely new one."

Xiao Yao paused, then spoke in his deep, magnetic voice: "At the beginning of the story, the protagonist Ye Fan is forced to ride a nine-dragon coffin away from his hometown and enter a bizarre and wonderful world of cultivation, which changes his life trajectory and his entire life."

He arrived at the desolate forbidden land riding in a coffin pulled by nine dragons, and the story begins here...

As Xiao Yan and the others' stories unfolded, various expressions appeared on their faces.

Some people's eyes sparkled with curiosity and anticipation, while others seemed nervous and worried.

They were all deeply captivated by Xiao Yao's story, as if they had already entered that bizarre and wonderful world of cultivation.

Looking at the crowd's reactions, Xiao Yao realized that his story was still very easy to capture their attention, and he could continue telling the story to help them understand the world and the fate of the protagonist, Ye Fan, more deeply.

Then, Xiao Yao began to recount Ye Fan's adventures and experiences in the desolate forbidden land.

He recounted how Ye Fan fought against various powerful enemies, solved one mystery after another, and gradually climbed to the top.

His voice was deep and magnetic, every word brimming with power and emotion. His narration transported the audience to that world, allowing them to experience Ye Fan's thrilling adventures alongside him.

As the story unfolds, Xiao Yao concludes by saying that Ye Fan, after experiencing many difficulties and becoming stronger, embarks on his journey home.

Facing the past twenty years, everything had changed, and the loss of loved ones plunged Ye Fan into despair. He felt that all his efforts over the past two decades had vanished, and he felt lost about the future.

Xiao Yao said to them, "I'll stop the story here for now, and continue it when we have time later."

When the story ended, Xiao Yan and the others were all deeply shocked.

They felt a powerful shock to their souls, as if they had been conquered by that world.

Looking at everyone's reactions, Xiao Yao couldn't help but feel that he truly had the potential to be a storyteller.
