Battle Through the Heavens: I can solidify the talents of all things

Just then, a loud voice, filled with powerful battle aura, boomed out, clearly resounding throughout every corner of the martial arts arena, instantly drowning out all the noise:

"The Battle Aura Test officially begins!"

The voice came from the middle-aged tester with a stern face who was standing next to the magic stone tablet.

His sharp gaze swept across the entire venue as he announced the start of this annual grand event.

Xiao Zhan shifted his gaze from Yan Qian to the massive black stone tablet in the center of the square. His expression returned to that of a family head, and he said to Xiao Qing in a deep voice, "The test is about to begin. Go, relax, and whatever the result, just do your best. There's no need to put too much pressure on yourself."

"Qing'er, don't be too nervous," Yan Qian gently advised, her pale face bearing an encouraging smile.

"Yes, Uncle, Aunt, I'm going now." Xiao Qing nodded calmly.

His gaze then turned to the bustling center of the square, and an invisible fighting spirit quietly gathered deep within his clear eyes.

Without further hesitation, Xiao Qing took a step forward and, following the gradually surging crowd, steadily walked towards the test stone tablet that would determine the short-term fate of many of her peers.

At this moment, Xiao Yan, whose little hand was being held by his mother, looked up, his large, clear eyes sparkling with undisguised envy as he followed Xiao Qing's receding figure closely.

Xiao Yan subconsciously clenched his small fist, his knuckles turning white from the force, a voice inside him shouting excitedly:

"Battle Qi! I can start formal training next year!"

No one knew that an adult soul from another world resided in the body of this three-year-old child.

More than three years after his transmigration, when Xiao Yan finally confirmed that the extraordinary power of this world was real, the joy and anticipation in his heart were beyond words.

The thrill of "my fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens" and climbing to the peak through my own strength had long captivated Xiao Yan, making him eager to experience it!

Test next to the black stone tablet —

The middle-aged tester, whose face was always cold and indifferent, held a roster in his hand and began to read out the list of the first batch of family members who would participate in the test in his flat tone.

"First test, Xiao Teng!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a boy in the crowd who looked to be about eleven or twelve years old and had a fairly handsome face visibly stiffened.

He took a deep breath, his nervousness and trepidation barely concealed, and walked step by step onto the testing platform.

Standing before that enormous black stone monument, he appeared somewhat small.

After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Teng slowly extended his right hand and placed it on the cool, smooth surface of the monument.

After a moment of silence, the surface of the dark magic stone tablet suddenly began to glow faintly, like stars being lit up in the night sky.

The light gradually converged, eventually coalescing into a clear line of energy text:

Battle Aura: Level 4!

The middle-aged tester glanced at the numbers on the stone tablet, his expression unchanged, as if he had only seen an insignificant pebble.

After all, the middle-aged testers had to test hundreds of family members every year, and he had seen too many people with such below-average aptitude to be bothered by them.

Unless a truly brilliant genius emerges, his face will likely remain with that usual indifferent expression.

The middle-aged test subject cleared his throat and spoke slowly in a detached voice that seemed to pronounce the boy's future fate, his voice echoing throughout the square:

"Xiao Teng, Battle Qi: Fourth Stage! Level: Intermediate!"

As the results of the first boy's test were announced, a buzz of discussion immediately arose among the many family members waiting in the audience.

Some were excited and eager to try because they were in the later order; others were even more uneasy, their faces pale, fearing that their score would not even be as good as a fourth dan.

"Next……"

The middle-aged test taker continued reading the names on the roster without any emotion.

"Xiao Ding!"

The moment the name was uttered, a small commotion arose in the audience.

A handsome boy, around thirteen or fourteen years old, stepped confidently onto the testing platform amidst the cheers and applause of his peers.

He clearly enjoyed being the center of attention.

Looking at his cousin, who was now full of vigor and somewhat arrogant, Xiao Qing, sitting in the audience, couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly, feeling a little helpless.

This is Xiao Zhan's eldest son, Xiao Qing's cousin, Xiao Ding!

Who would have thought that Xiao Yan's wise, steady, and reliable elder brother, Xiao Ding, was such a flamboyant young man?

Xiao Qing silently complained to himself.

But then I thought about it again. Xiao Ding was only thirteen years old at the time, only four years older than me. With his youthful spirit and good talent, it was normal for him to be a little arrogant.

Not only that, Xiao Ding also has a younger brother, Xiao Li, who is ten years old this year.

On the stage, Xiao Ding confidently placed his right hand on the magic stone tablet, not even glancing at the tablet. Instead, he slightly raised his chin and scanned the crowd below the stage.

The next moment, the magic stone tablet suddenly burst forth with a light several times brighter than before!

The dazzling light attracted everyone's attention, eventually coalescing into several exceptionally bright words:

Battle Aura: Seventh Stage!

Upon seeing this number, the middle-aged test taker, whose eyes had remained impassive, finally couldn't help but show a hint of surprise. His pupils contracted slightly, and he thought to himself, "No wonder he's the clan chief's eldest son; his talent is truly extraordinary!"

He took a deep breath, and when he spoke again, his previously indifferent voice carried a subtle hint of excitement and loudness, as if he too was infected by this achievement:

"Xiao Ding! Battle Qi: Seventh Stage! Level: Advanced!"

Upon hearing the result, Xiao Ding finally let out a sigh of relief, his smugness and arrogance becoming even more pronounced.

Xiao Ding withdrew his hand, waved to his supporters below the stage like a victorious young general, and then walked off the stage with high spirits.

The square erupted in chaos!

"Seventh level of Dou Qi! Clan Brother Xiao Ding is too amazing!" An ordinary-looking boy opened his mouth wide, his face full of admiration.

"My God! Clan Brother Xiao Ding is truly amazing! He's only thirteen years old!" A beautiful young girl clasped her hands to her heart, her eyes filled with admiration.

The other girl standing next to her also looked on with fervent eyes, as if she had seen her ideal partner. She excitedly chimed in, "At this rate, with Brother Xiao Ding's talent, he'll probably only need three or four years at most to condense his Qi vortex and become a true Dou Zhe, right?"

Exclamations, praises, and whispers rose and fell, and Xiao Ding undoubtedly became the most eye-catching focus of the entire audience, basking in countless envious and admiring glances.

The youthful exuberance and talent were on full display at this moment!
