Chapter 42 Mastering the Thunder Ancestral Symbol!

Everyone in the room stared blankly at the four large characters on the stone tablet, their expressions incredibly varied.

A moment later, rapid breathing, like the sound of windmills, echoed across the training ground.

By the time the coming-of-age ceremony ended, Xiao Lei was only sixteen years old.

A sixteen-year-old eight-star Dou Shi with such achievements is absolutely top-notch, not only in Wutan City, but also in the entire Jia Ma Empire!

After a brief silence, a clamor suddenly erupted across the training ground.

"Cousin Xiao Lei has actually become an eight-star Dou Shi!"

"A year ago, wasn't he still a one-star Dou Zhe?"

"To advance from a one-star Dou Zhe to an eight-star Dou Shi in just one year is truly incredible!"

"..."

Such a terrifying rate of improvement has never been seen in the entire Xiao family before!

Such speed truly shocked them!

At the edge of the square, Xiao Yan, who was about to leave, couldn't help but slightly contract his pupils as he looked at the four large characters on the test stone tablet.

"Your cousin Xiao Lei is truly remarkable. To achieve such success in such a remote place, one can only imagine how far he would have gone if he were in one of the more powerful factions!"

At this moment, Xiao Yan also heard Yao Chen's somewhat surprised voice in his heart.

Xiao Yan nodded silently, clenching his fists tightly, and thought to himself, "Teacher, I should speed things up too!"

Originally, Xiao Yan was already quite satisfied with advancing from the third level of Dou Power to the seventh level within a year.

But at this moment, Xiao Yan was somewhat dissatisfied.

Yao Chen said, "You are still in the foundational stage. Once you break through to the Dou Zhe realm, I will find a way to help you accelerate your progress."

Xiao Yan nodded gently and silently sat cross-legged at the edge of the square.

In a corner of the training field, Xiao Xun'er looked at Xiao Lei, who had become the focus of attention, and felt happy for Xiao Lei's achievements.

At the same time, Xiao Xun'er felt a slight pressure. "It seems I need to speed things up too! Brother Xiao Lei, I won't let you leave me too far behind..."

Beside the test stone tablet, Xiao Lei looked at the large golden characters on the tablet with a calm expression.

Originally, Xiao Lei planned to reveal his nine-star Dou Shi realm, but considering that there would be another ritual retest in a month, he concealed it at eight stars.

Before leaving the Xiao family, Xiao Lei revealed to Xiao Zhan that he was a one-star Dou Shi. It was reasonable that he would increase his cultivation to seven stars in half a year and then increase it to one star in a month.

Xiao Lei smiled faintly, and under the watchful eyes of everyone present, he leisurely walked to the back of the crowd, met Xun'er's smiling gaze, and then sat down next to her.

"Ahem..." At this moment, Xiao Zhan, with a beaming smile, stood up on the high platform, coughed lightly, drawing everyone's attention, and then said loudly,

"The test is over. Now, let's move on to the next item. Those who did not pass have the right to challenge a qualified classmate. Remember, you only have one chance!"

Upon hearing this, a slight commotion arose in the training ground.

Those who were just a hair's breadth away from passing immediately turned their eager gazes to their qualified partners, with many focusing their attention on Xiao Yan.

Subsequently, a young man named Xiao Ke chose to challenge Xiao Yan.

As a result, Xiao Ke was defeated by Xiao Yan in just one move.

Xiao Yan also took this opportunity to prove to the family that the former genius had returned once again!

After Xiao Ke's failed challenge to Xiao Yan, no one else continued the challenge.

Those unqualified clansmen had no choice but to find other targets. After several rounds of competition, only two people managed to defeat their opponents and successfully enter the qualified area.

Looking at the gradually calming training ground, Xiao Zhan, with a smile on his face, stood up and loudly announced the end of the test, as well as some matters that needed attention at the coming-of-age ceremony a month later.

Then, the end of the test was announced.

Immediately, many members of the Xiao family, including Xiao Mei, stepped forward to try and get close to Xiao Lei.

"Excuse me, Brother Xiao Lei and I have some things to attend to. Could you please make way for us?"

Amidst the stunned gazes around them, Xun'er affectionately linked arms with Xiao Lei, a slight hint of apology on her delicate face.

Hearing Xun'er's words, everyone was slightly taken aback, especially Xiao Mei, who seemed a little embarrassed and awkwardly stepped back.

Immediately, everyone else also made way.

"I'll be going now," Xiao Lei said with a smile to everyone, and then he and Xun'er headed out of the training ground.

Watching Xiao Lei and Xun'er walk affectionately out of the training ground, the younger generation of the Xiao family were filled with envy.

The boys envied Xiao Lei, while the girls envied Xiao Xun'er.

……

After leaving the training ground, Xiao Lei, with Xun'er holding his arm, strolled leisurely around the family compound for a while, agreeing to go shopping together the next day before parting ways.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

After parting ways with Xun'er, Xiao Lei went straight back to his residence.

Although I haven't been back for more than half a year, the room is spotless and very clean and tidy.

Without even thinking, I knew this must be Xun'er's masterpiece.

In Xiao Lei's mind, the image of Xun'er cleaning the room involuntarily appeared, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but turn up slightly.

After a while, Xiao Lei calmed his mind, and with a slight thought, took out the Thunder Ancestral Symbol from the system space.

Instantly, a bolt of lightning appeared in front of Xiao Lei.

At the center of the lightning, an ancient rune floated silently in front of Xiao Lei.

The Thunder Ancestral Symbol, a reward from the system, directly recognized Xiao Lei as its master. Unlike Lin Dong in the Martial Universe world, who had to endure countless lightning strikes to gain the Thunder Ancestral Symbol's approval.

Looking at the Thunder Ancestral Symbol so close at hand, Xiao Lei felt a surge of excitement.

Xiao Lei took a deep breath to calm himself down, then sat cross-legged, releasing his spiritual power.

The Thunder Ancestral Symbol floating in front of him also transformed into a bolt of lightning and rushed into his body.

The next instant, the Thunder Ancestral Symbol rushed into Xiao Lei's mind and spun endlessly within him.

As the Thunder Ancestral Symbol rotated, Xiao Lei felt that the soul power between his brows was gathering around the Thunder Ancestral Symbol.

The soul is generally a rather ethereal and indescribable thing; it is the foundation of all living beings and is extremely mysterious.

Normally, even for powerful alchemists, the soul located between their brows is merely a kind of ethereal substance.

However, under their control, these soul powers have many uses after leaving the body.

Xiao Lei's soul realm has now reached the peak of the mortal realm, but it is still just an ethereal thing, difficult to concentrate completely, or even condense into a human form.

Under the guidance of the Thunder Ancestral Symbol, the soul power was no longer in its previous ethereal state, but rather coiled together, occasionally pulsating slightly, like a heart.

The soul between its brows seemed more vibrant than ever before.

The soul was constantly writhing, as if it were nurturing something, but it couldn't succeed, as if something was missing...
