Battle Through the Heavens: I confronted Xiao Yan, and he begged me to be his elder brother.

Chapter 2: The Return of the System, Xiao Yan's Shock

He wasn't originally called Hun Cang. After waking up from an accident, he found himself transmigrated and became Hun Cang!

As for Hun Cang, it's easy to guess from his surname "Hun" that he comes from the Hun clan!

The Soul Clan, one of the eight ancient clans in the Battle Through the Heavens!

When he learned that he was born into the Soul Clan and that his father was the Soul Emperor, his first reaction was not excitement, but fear and terror!

According to the novel's plot, Soul Emperor went mad in his pursuit of becoming a Dou Di, not only annihilating countless lives in Zhongzhou, but also sacrificing the entire Soul Clan during his battle with Xiao Yan!

In other words, Hun Cang's future is a dead end.

In fact, he had thought that since it was Xiao Yan's fault, he could just kill Xiao Yan before he grew up and that would be the end of it.

On second thought, something's not right!

What if we kill Xiao Yan and another Li Yan or Zhao Yan appears?

Compared to other unknown individuals, Hun Cang at least understands Xiao Yan's entire growth process.

Therefore, he decided to observe Xiao Yan first, and then figure out a way to become friends or...

However! Hun Cang discovered a new problem: although he was born into the Soul Clan, due to an accident, his talent could only reach the peak of the Dou Wang realm at most!

Don't be fooled by the fact that a Dou Wang can become a powerful figure in the early stages. In the later stages, Dou Zong are as common as dogs, Dou Zun are everywhere, and Dou Sheng are countless. What use can a mere Dou Wang be?

To put it bluntly, he would need to be thousands of miles away to observe, otherwise he might be killed by the aftershocks of the battle!

This is really a headache!

Fortunately, there is always a way out. As a new type of postmodern time traveler.

Hun Cang obtained a system!

This system is called the Return System, and it's very simple to understand: by giving items to the chosen one of this world, you can receive corresponding return rewards!

Hun Cang immediately sought confirmation from the system and received a clear message that he could break through his own limitations and become a Dou Huang, Dou Zong, or even a Dou Di by returning the rewards!

At that moment, Hun Cang thought to himself, "I'm about to take off!"

Because in other worlds, he might not know who the chosen one is, but how could he not know in Battle Through the Heavens?

He started reading this book in junior high school, and he can still remember all the details in it more than ten years later.

Therefore, Hun Cang pondered how to get close to Xiao Yan and replace Yao Lao, becoming Xiao Yan's cheat code!

He quickly came up with a solution!

Self-disclosure!

Yes, he decided to reveal his identity and confess to Xiao Yan!

This decision was indeed somewhat risky, but considering his own strength and how it compared to Xiao Yan's, he regained his confidence.

"Based on the description of Xiao Yan in the book, if Yao Lao hadn't absorbed his Dou Qi, he would obviously be someone who was unwilling to be ordinary and longed to become a dazzling genius!"

"Given that, once he learns that there's a fellow villager at the Dou Wang level, will he refrain from coming to me for help?"

After reviewing the plan again, Hun Cang felt there were no problems.

He used three questions to clarify his identity as a time traveler.

However, apart from fellow transmigrators from Earth, no one in the Doupo world could understand this problem.

"I'm kind of looking forward to Xiao Yan's reaction..."

Hun Cang smiled, relaxed his mind, and slowly drifted off to sleep.

However, while he slept soundly, the city of Wutan was far from peaceful.

As news of the issues and corresponding rewards from various families and forces spread, everyone was in an uproar.

In no time, the place where the posters were put up was packed with people.

"Hey buddy, what does it say up there?"

An old man with a rugged appearance and a heavy accent pointed to the paper and asked a question.

"A Dou Wang powerhouse can provide clues to find someone. As long as you can answer the questions, you can get a reward, with the highest reward being a Di-rank Dou Technique or cultivation method."

The person being asked the question answered.

Upon hearing this, the old man's eyes lit up, and he grabbed the other man's clothes, urging him to describe the problem.

Upon hearing this, the man laughed dismissively, "Old man, you can't even read, yet you want to join in the fun? I advise you not to waste your time, go home, wash up, and go to sleep."

These words drew laughter from many people around.

Although the old man was red-faced and embarrassed, he did not leave. He mingled in the crowd and finally heard the question from others, but even after pulling his hair out, he still couldn't come up with an answer.

……

The Xiao family.

On the back mountain, a young man sat cross-legged, his fingers forming special hand seals. One could vaguely see the flow of fighting spirit entering his nose and sinking into his dantian.

Just a few seconds later, the battle aura that had been painstakingly gathered vanished without a trace.

"I love you guys so much!!"

He opened his eyes, a flash of anger crossing his face, and the boy couldn't help but burst into a string of curses.

He scratched his hair in frustration.

Having transmigrated over a decade ago, I thought I was a genius, but I never expected to encounter this bizarre situation...

Xiao Yan plucked a blade of grass and put it in his mouth, walking down the mountain with a disgruntled expression.

As soon as he returned to the Xiao family home, he sensed a strange atmosphere in the air.

"What's wrong?"

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

He noticed that everyone in the house, from the elders to the clansmen and even the servants, was frowning and glancing at the papers in their hands from time to time.

Filled with doubt, I entered the front hall and found my father and several elders there.

The younger generation, who usually spend this time cultivating, all gathered inside.

"Brother Xiao Yan."

In the corner, a pure and innocent girl, as beautiful as a lotus flower, saw Xiao Yan and waved with a smile.

Nodding slightly, Xiao Yan walked over, sat down, and asked, "Xun'er, what's wrong with everyone?"

Xiao Xun'er pushed a piece of paper over and explained, "Today, someone at least at the Dou Wang level came to Wutan City, saying they are looking for someone. These are the questions he gave us. Whoever can answer one question can obtain a Qi Gathering Powder, and whoever answers two or all of them can obtain a Di-rank Dou Technique and cultivation method."

Gathering Qi Powder?

Earth-rank combat techniques and skills?

!!!

Xiao Yan took a light breath, his heart filled with shock. He knew that the most powerful technique in the Xiao family was only at the advanced level of the Xuan rank.

Using Earth-rank combat techniques and cultivation methods right off the bat, that's quite a grand gesture...

At that moment, Xiao Yan suddenly understood why everyone in the family looked like this.

After all, a single high-level Xuan-rank cultivation technique would be enough to make the Xiao family one of the three top families in Wutan City.

If one possessed a Rank 1 cultivation technique, wouldn't it be possible to establish a power base in the capital of the Jia Ma Empire?

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan felt a surge of excitement and quickly tried to find out what the question was and whether he could answer it.

The next second, his gaze fell on the paper, his pupils suddenly contracted as if they were pinholes, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

This, this... isn't this?!

"Brother Xiao Yan, are you alright? What, do you know the answer to the question?"

Sitting to the side, Xiao Xun'er immediately noticed Xiao Yan's unusual behavior, her gaze filled with deep concern.

Xiao Yan made quite a commotion, and at that moment, Xiao Zhan and the others also turned their attention to him.

"No, I'm just feeling a little unwell."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xiao Yan forced himself to keep his expression from getting out of control, got up, walked out of the hall, and returned to his room.
