The Transmigrator Who Changed Doupo

When his own mercenary group members revealed his combat strength and clearly favored the other side, Xiao Li was furious. He sneered, "Haven't seen you for a few days, and you've already turned against us! Wait until my brother and I deal with this guy, then we'll settle the score with you!"

Towards others, Xiao Li is a petty and vindictive person who holds grudges and seeks revenge whenever he has the chance. Now, his hostility towards Xiao Xuanyuan has extended to his hatred for Xue Lan as well.

However, it was clear that Xue Lan was not afraid of him. She stepped forward and loudly defended Xiao Xuanyuan, saying, "Second Commander, Brother Xuanyuan saved us from dire straits. Is this how our Mo Tie Mercenary Group repays kindness with enmity? Moreover... and he is also your blood relative?"

"No, no, no... I don't acknowledge such a clansman. Now that he's challenging our Mo Tie Mercenary Group, then don't blame us!" Xiao Li said coldly.

"Commander, come out and say something..." Xue Lan looked at Xiao Ding with pleading eyes again.

"Ahem..." Seeing that things were getting more and more out of control, Xiao Xuanyuan quickly stepped in to stop it, pulling Xue Lan behind him and saying, "Women should refrain from interfering in men's affairs."

After reprimanding him, Xiao Xuanyuan turned to face him, a cold smile appearing on his face. Xiao Li had actually threatened his woman earlier, which was not good and made him very unhappy. He would definitely teach him a lesson later. Xiao Xuanyuan thought to himself, but said in an extremely smug way, "A four-star Dou Shi is nothing. Even if he has lightning attribute, he's still a piece of cake. Lightning attribute? Don't I have it?"

With feigned nonchalance, Xiao Xuanyuan revealed the power belonging to Long Yan in his palm, which he disguised as the so-called "lightning-attribute battle qi".

"And you, Xiao Ding, I can beat you with one hand, believe it or not? You act like an idiot all day long. Don't think you're so great just because you have a small Mo Tie Mercenary Group in the Tagor Desert. I can easily create ten or eight more... You want to bully my woman? Fine, then let's see what you're capable of!" Xiao Xuanyuan got more and more excited as he spoke, and the more he cursed, the more he enjoyed it. He pointed at Xiao Ding and Xiao Li's noses and started cursing.

"Boy, you are courting death!"

Xiao Li finally couldn't hold back any longer and was about to make a move. However, Xiao Ding, who was standing to the side, stopped him. He was also furious, his face turning ashen, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "When will the fight begin?"

"Finally, let's get down to business. All that talk before was just nonsense, a real waste of breath," Xiao Xuanyuan couldn't help but spit on the ground, then continued, "Enough nonsense, the duel is today. Gather all the mercenaries from your Mo Tie Mercenary Group, and we'll draw up a duel contract as proof, so you can't renege on your promise!"

"Fine! I'll grant your request!" Xiao Ding couldn't take the provocation any longer. After Xiao Xuanyuan's series of blows, he was completely enraged!

Today, after Xiao Ding issued an order, all the mercenary members of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group, who were located throughout the Stone Desert City, returned to their headquarters.

About an hour later, in the plaza of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group's headquarters, hundreds of mercenaries had gathered behind Xiao Ding and Xiao Li. On the opposite side, there was only Xiao Xuanyuan, whose figure appeared rather lonely and desolate, and behind him, Xue Lan, who was gritting her teeth and had a very pale face.

Today happens to be the Mo Tie Mercenary Group's monthly test, which is also September's busiest time for the group. Xiao Xuanyuan hadn't expected so many people to be at the Mo Tie Mercenary Group's headquarters; it seems they've stumbled upon a lively occasion.

However, he didn't care. It was a good opportunity to establish his authority in front of so many people and humiliate the Xiao brothers. He wanted to prevent them from becoming too arrogant and disregarding him. Even though he had been known as the "last good-for-nothing in the family" for a long time, and many of the older generation of the family still looked down on him.

Xiao Xuanyuan secretly vowed that he would crush all this humiliation, reclaim his glory, and make the entire Xiao family proud of him! He swore, he vowed to do it!

Because of the considerable prestige of the two leaders, Xiao Ding and his companion, within the Mo Tie Mercenary Group, a large crowd had already gathered in the square.

In reality, the so-called test was just a test of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group's strength. It was a purpose to encourage the members to train hard. As long as they performed "outstandingly", they could organize their own small team and become a captain.

Therefore, the atmosphere within the Desert Iron Mercenary Group has always been quite good. Due to competition among members, their growth rate is much faster than that of other mercenary groups. This is one of the reasons why the overall strength of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group has always been far ahead of other mercenary groups in Stone Desert City.

Even though it was because of the Xiao brothers, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, Xiao Xuanyuan still greatly admired the passionate and energetic Desert Iron Mercenary Group. No wonder these two brothers were able to cultivate such a force in the Tagor Desert in just a few years; they certainly had some skills.

Since a wager agreement had already been signed with Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, and all the members of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group present could serve as witnesses to personally draft and sign the agreement with Xiao Xuanyuan and Xiao Ding, Xiao Xuanyuan was not afraid that the two would renege on their promise!

In the center of the square, Xiao Xuanyuan stood alone with Xue Lan, facing nearly a hundred people led by Xiao Ding and Xiao Li. These people constantly looked down on and mocked Xiao Xuanyuan. Because Xiao Xuanyuan had taken Xue Lan and Qing Lin as spoils of his victory, Xue Lan beside him and Qing Lin, who stood in the middle at a loss, tears streaming down her face, were subjected to verbal abuse and bullying by the crowd.

"Bitch, treacherous bitch, how come I never noticed this woman was this kind of scum before?"

"Isn't that right? Last time, this woman won the test! But who would have thought that this time, when she led the team out for training, she would bring back a wild man? Even the commander and the second commander have betrayed her. She's truly shameless..."

The slanderous and mocking remarks that kept coming into his ears made Xiao Xuanyuan frown. He knew that these people were attacking Xue Lan behind him.

Not only that, but because of him, Qinglin, who was humiliated and crying, could only cover her tear-streaked face, lower her fair neck, and sob uncontrollably with her hair veiled over her face. She may have suffered countless verbal abuses since childhood, but this time, the girl still couldn't help but sob. Perhaps she could only blame her bad luck!

His gaze swept over the people around him, lingering on their ugly faces filled with mockery and ridicule. Suddenly, Xiao Xuanyuan felt an intense rage. Who did these people think they were? How dare they humiliate his woman? This was something he absolutely could not tolerate!

As anger surged within him, Xiao Xuanyuan pulled Qinglin, who was standing nearby, behind him, along with Xuelan, protecting them. Then, he roared at the crowd still mocking and sneering him, "What are you laughing at? After I beat up your leader, who the hell dares to come at me? I'll take you down one by one. If that doesn't work, all of you come at me at once, and I'll wipe you all out..."

Chapter Ninety-Seven: The War Begins

While Xiao Xuanyuan had already settled his fate with Xiao Ding, Qing Lin remained completely bewildered, unaware of where her future would lead. She could only silently weep in sorrow.

Faced with accusations from almost the entire Mo Tie Mercenary Group, Xiao Xuanyuan couldn't help but get angry. He could tolerate being criticized, but he couldn't tolerate being criticized for his woman. Dragons have scales that cannot be touched, let alone his woman. If these guys weren't members of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group controlled by Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, and were still family to some extent, Xiao Xuanyuan would definitely have the urge to slaughter the entire mercenary group!

Xiao Xuanyuan's arrogance and anger did not cause the other party to back down. Instead, the entire Mo Tie Mercenary Group laughed in anger. Who was this guy? A greenhorn who thought he could run wild in the Mo Tie Mercenary Group. Did they really think he was someone important or had some kind of heaven-defying strength?

Nowadays, most of them don't know Xiao Xuanyuan, and even if they do, only a small number know about him because they heard about Xiao Xuanyuan saving Xue Lan's mercenary team.

In the square, only a dozen or so people recognized Xiao Xuanyuan. They were the members of the team that Xiao Xuanyuan had saved before. However, they were in a dilemma. On one side was their own mercenary group, which had the advantage in numbers, and on the other side was their savior. Helping this side was not an option, and helping that side was not an option either. Their faces were all bitter.

Faced with the verbal insults directed at Xue Lan, any attempts to defend her were drowned out by the wave of condemnation.

Xue Lan was alright, as she still had a few people supporting her. Qing Lin, on the other hand, was almost being verbally abused, with people pointing fingers at her and cursing her for her lowly birth and lowly status. Her once beautiful face was now pitifully pathetic.

"Heh heh, who do you think you are? Just because you're a member of the clansmen of the two captains, you think you can act lawlessly and arrogantly in the Desert Iron Mercenary Group?"

"Commander, I think we should kill this guy, and then we can hand those two women over to the brothers as traitors..."

At this moment, some fierce-looking mercenaries emerged from behind Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, their eyes fixed on Xiao Xuanyuan and the two women behind him. It seemed that they would be ready to attack at any moment if given the order.

Judging from their fierce appearance and demeanor, Xiao Xuanyuan knew that these bloodthirsty guys were capable of such things, but in front of him, they were nothing compared to what he had seen.

"Xiao Ding, Xiao Li, if you don't mind, we can add a clause to the contract later: these guys must die!" Xiao Xuanyuan was also provoked to his ruthlessness. He looked at these people with an extremely calm expression. Those who knew him well knew that this was a sign that he was about to make a ruthless move.

"You...you're asking for it!"

Upon hearing this, the troublemakers, who never shy away from creating trouble, couldn't resist their impulsive nature and all wanted to come out and make a move.

The power of the dragon's flames erupted from his body instantly, covering his entire palms. His eyes, too, transformed into silver pupils due to the influence of the dragon's flames, with lightning and flames merging together…

"Get out!"

Just as Xiao Xuanyuan, burning with rage, was about to take these people's lives, he suddenly roared, silencing all of these rather deranged individuals.

"Commander, this..." The mercenaries who had been stopped looked at Xiao Ding with great resentment, and then glared at Xiao Xuanyuan with extremely hostile eyes.

"Who are you to speak here? Get out of here!" Xiao Ding considered himself a dignified commander. With him and his brother Xiao Li around, even if they were to take action, they would need his permission. What right did these subordinates have to interfere?

"Get down, get down..." Xiao Li coldly glanced around. With the two men's orders, the group reluctantly retreated, and the discussions and jeers of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group members around them gradually subsided.

Seeing that the situation was temporarily under control, Xiao Xuanyuan was relieved. He was really afraid that if things got chaotic, he might accidentally hurt Xue Lan and Qing Lin behind him!

"Alright, enough with the nonsense. All of you, get out of my way. I'm going to beat up your two bosses, your leaders. After I've dealt with them, I'll deal with you." Xiao Xuanyuan glanced at the people around him, waved his hand, and gestured.

"You... brat, you really don't know your place!" Xiao Li was so angry that he felt like he was going crazy and wanted to take action immediately.

“That’s right. This time I will fight both of you alone. You two can come at me together, but the contract I made with you before still stands. If I win, you two will have to lead the Mo Tie Mercenary Group to submit to me.”

Xiao Xuanyuan wasn't in a hurry at all. He clearly stated his conditions to avoid any resentment from his opponents if they lost. Even though his two older brothers, Xiao Yan, were powerful and their cultivation levels were several stars higher than his, Xiao Xuanyuan wasn't afraid. He had many advantages, and with just his unique Strange Flame, he was confident he could take their lives!

"Brother, let me go up alone. I can handle this kid by myself!" Xiao Li laughed angrily and stepped forward to volunteer.

"Wait a minute. I think this kid is quite strong. If it really comes down to it, the two of us can go together; that would give us a better chance of winning," Xiao Ding said cautiously. This contractual duel was a gamble with their entire fortune on the line. If they lost, the two brothers would suffer immeasurable losses!

"Big brother, this guy is just trying to scare us. Although we heard some news from the family that this kid seems to have received help from some mysterious expert and has greatly improved his strength, this is the Tagor Desert. Would that person really come here? Besides, judging from our fight just now, although this kid looks strong, his star level is actually several levels lower than mine, so don't worry!"

Xiao Li whispered in Xiao Ding's ear.

"Well, be careful. Although this kid is arrogant, he wouldn't dare to cause trouble for our Mo Tie Mercenary Group if he didn't have some skills. If things get tough, I'll go with you later."

Xiao Ding pondered for a moment and then nodded.

After the two sides reached an agreement, an open space was cleared around the square in no time for them to compete.

In the vast square, hundreds of people stood densely packed around it, while in the center, Xiao Xuanyuan stood coldly, facing Xiao Li.

"Xiao Xuanyuan, you've brought this upon yourself, don't blame us brothers!" Xiao Li sneered, flipped his hand, and a straight tungsten steel spear appeared in his palm. He gripped it tightly, and in an instant, silver battle qi surged from his body, enveloping his hand and the spear.

Chapter 98 Your Lightning Attribute is Inadequate

"Xiao Li, it's been so many years, and you're still as arrogant as ever. But I hope your arrogance will match your strength in the future."

Xiao Xuanyuan's face was extremely calm, and he did not take out any weapons. A calm and powerful aura emanated from him without any wind, sweeping in all directions.

Even without using the Xuanzhong Ruler, Xiao Xuanyuan was confident he could deal with Xiao Li alone.

"You don't use a weapon? Is it because you don't have a suitable weapon? Hehe, I can still let you choose one from among the people here." Xiao Li glanced at the crowd around him, looking at Xiao Xuanyuan with extreme contempt, and said.

"No need. Dealing with scum like you is enough with my bare hands." Xiao Xuanyuan said calmly. At this moment, along with his aura, a faint silver light emanated from his body, covering his entire being, and his long black hair fluttered without wind.

"Since you're so arrogant, then... die!"

Xiao Li roared, his fighting spirit fully condensed to its peak. He stomped his heel, held his spear, and launched himself forward, thrusting the spear towards Xiao Xuanyuan's chest.

"Hmph, go ahead and make your move! I'll show you what I'm capable of in a moment." The spear, crackling with lightning and sparks in its eyes, grew larger and larger, but Xiao Xuanyuan remained unmoved. As the spear drew near, his hand, imbued with the power of dragon flames, shot out like lightning from behind his back to meet the spear.

With a sharp clang, a shockwave of battle qi resounded, and Xiao Xuanyuan's palm formed an eagle claw shape, with lightning arcs constantly leaping and bouncing on his fingers, forcefully blocking the sharp spear that was thrusting into his palm, preventing it from penetrating even an inch.

With a hissing sound, the straight tungsten-iron spear crackled with ear-piercing lightning as the veins on Xiao Li's arm bulged. It looked incredibly powerful, causing the onlookers to feel a slight unease, as if they were directly facing it.

The lightning battle aura that had terrified them was completely ineffective against Xiao Xuanyuan, who appeared to have no advantage whatsoever and was unarmed. Xiao Xuanyuan controlled the situation so well that they made no progress. This caused the crowd to change their initial schadenfreude for Xiao Xuanyuan's misfortune and look at each other in bewilderment.

"Hehe, your lightning-attribute battle qi is no good!"

Holding the sharp edge of a spear in his palm, the flame power belonging to Long Yan was gradually released. Even though Xiao Xuanyuan did not deliberately devour or weaken the opponent, the flame power emitted by Long Yan itself was slowly weakening, devouring the lightning attribute battle qi cultivated by Xiao Li.

Xiao Xuanyuan flicked his hand forcefully, and Xiao Li, along with the spear that he had gathered sharp power with, was thrown backward by a strong force. He tumbled several times in mid-air before Xiao Li managed to step back several times to dissipate all the force.

With just one move, everyone present witnessed Xiao Xuanyuan's prowess. The members of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group, who had previously underestimated him because of his young age, were now stunned, their mouths agape.

Now they wished they could slap themselves twice across the face. How could they have been so obnoxious as to go up and act tough with him? It was practically suicide! But it seemed a little too late for them. Those who had offended Xiao Xuanyuan were now quietly looking around, wondering if they should find an opportunity to sneak away! Otherwise, if Xiao Xuanyuan really won, they might be singled out and suffer a terrible fate!

Xiao Xuanyuan was not paying attention to what these individuals were thinking. He was now facing the second-in-command of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group, Xiao Yan's second brother, a four-star Dou Shi with special lightning-attribute Dou Qi, Xiao Li!

Even though his strength has been continuously increasing recently, his physical body is still far from reaching that level of enhancement. Even with the blessing of the Dragon Flame's power, when he instantly grabbed Xiao Li's spear, his hand was still violently held for a moment. Even now, Xiao Xuanyuan still feels a faint pain in his hand.

As expected of a four-star Dou Shi, Xiao Li's slight lightning Dou Qi still managed to penetrate the coverage and weakening of the dragon flames, causing Xiao Xuanyuan a faint feeling of numbness and stinging.

However, that's all there is to it. When faced with a strange fire that possesses the formidable power to burn the heavens and boil the earth, unless the difference in strength between them is extremely great, they can forget about harming its master.

His attack failed, and Xiao Li's brows furrowed even more deeply. He never expected that Xiao Xuanyuan would possess such formidable power.

"Kid, that was just a test. I haven't really used my full strength yet!" Xiao Li was only doubtful for a moment. After a while, he regained his confidence and unleashed all his lightning-attribute battle qi, causing his body to radiate a dazzling light.

In no time, a veil of Dou Qi, entirely condensed from lightning-attribute Dou Qi, was draped tightly over Xiao Li's body. This was a skill possessed only by Dou Shi: condensing Dou Qi into a veil, gathering Qi into a liquid state.

"That's perfect. I thought you only had a couple of moves. If that's all, there's really no fun in this." Xiao Xuanyuan said with a grin, quite nonchalantly. In fact, through Xiao Li's attack just now, he had already roughly estimated the depth of his strength.

With this guy's foundation, plus the special attribute of lightning-attribute battle qi, he would definitely have a great chance of winning against other ordinary five- or six-star battle masters, and could even forcibly kill them. Unfortunately, Xiao Li encountered Xiao Xuanyuan, a hidden expert whose strength far surpasses his own!

"Hehe, playing with fighting spirit gauze, huh? I have one too." Xiao Xuanyuan seemed nonchalant, but his attention wasn't just on the battle in front of him. His gaze was also subtly fixed on Xiao Ding not far away, wondering if he would be unable to resist making a move later.

Of course, besides keeping an eye on him, Xiao Xuanyuan also kept a watchful eye on Xue Lan and Qing Lin's safety. He wasn't afraid of being unable to defeat the two of them and the Mo Tie Mercenary Group, but he was worried that if a fight broke out, these guys would use his women as leverage, which would be troublesome! Xiao Xuanyuan had never had the habit of letting others or enemies hold his weaknesses or secrets. This was absolutely unacceptable!

Xiao Xuanyuan is like a leopard in hiding. On the surface, he seems carefree and indifferent to everything, with no fighting power. But if a fight breaks out, he can seize the opponent's life force in an instant and kill them with one blow. He shows no mercy!
