As if sensing something, Xiao Xuanyuan immediately turned his gaze back to Xiao Ning. Upon seeing Xiao Ning's hostile gaze, Xiao Xuanyuan slightly raised his head and gave him a provocative look.
"If you're not convinced, then come at me!" Xiao Xuanyuan thought to himself.
The Transmigrator Who Changed Doupo
Chapter 45 Explosive Qi Pill
"Nephew Xuanyuan, you haven't disappointed your great-grandfather! Well done!"
Upon seeing the results of the retest, Xiao He's old face flushed with excitement. For so many years, the Xiao family had gradually declined, each generation weaker than the last. But what about this family ritual test?
Among the younger generation, there are outstanding family members such as Xiao Ning, Xiao Xiongdong, and Xiao Yan, and even more outstanding individuals with exceptional talent and strength, such as Xiao Xue, Xiao Mei, and Xiao Xuanyuan.
In a few decades, once these promising talents have grown up, the Xiao family's glorious days will likely begin.
Thinking of this, even Elder Xiao He's old eyes couldn't help but become a little red.
On the black stone tablet used for testing, the golden light of the words "Nine-Stage Fighting Qi" gradually dissipated, and after a moment, it returned to its deep and cold black color.
Even after the golden light dissipated, the entire audience remained in awe, the fervor of the discussion leaving everyone present still stunned.
"Everyone, please quiet down." Xiao He used his fighting spirit to amplify his voice, and his clear voice echoed throughout the entire venue.
After being called three times, the noise and gasps from the audience finally quieted down completely.
“The ritual retest is complete. According to the usual rules, Xiao Xuanyuan will accept a challenge. The challenge is open to those below the level of a Dou Zhe. Who else wants to come?” Xiao He’s gaze swept over the younger generation of the Xiao family in the area below the platform.
If the coming-of-age ceremony tests the strength of one's fighting spirit, then this challenge tests the younger generation's cultivation and mastery of fighting techniques. After all, in a life-or-death battle, fighting techniques are a crucial factor in determining victory or defeat, and each family attaches great importance to them, no less so than the cultivation of fighting spirit.
Hearing Xiao He's shout, a commotion broke out in the area where the younger generation of the Xiao family stood. These young people looked at each other, hesitant to speak. The dazzling golden ninth-level Dou Qi on the black stone tablet had already shocked them enough. At this moment, they no longer harbored any illusions.
A month ago, even Xiao Yan, who was at the same level as Xiao Xuanyuan, suffered a crushing defeat despite using the incredibly powerful Yellow-Rank High-Level Battle Skill, Flame Palm. What are these people compared to him? They are probably no match for him now, and they no longer have the right to mock and ridicule Xiao Xuanyuan or show off their power.
Xiao Xuanyuan stood quietly in the center of the high platform, his gaze sweeping over the members of the Xiao family. Each time his gaze swept over them, the young men would involuntarily take a step back.
"It seems that not many people dare to fight me." Seeing the reaction of his clansmen, Xiao Xuanyuan sighed.
At this moment, Xiao Xuanyuan's gaze paused and landed on a figure. It was Xiao Ning.
Xiao Ning raised his head, looking at Xiao Xuanyuan with a very defiant gaze. He took a step forward, preparing to go on stage. Just then, Xiao Yu reached out and grabbed him in time.
"Xiao Ning, you are no match for Brother Xuanyuan. For your sister's sake, please don't fight him, okay?" Xiao Yu's beautiful eyes were a little red, and she looked at Xiao Ning with a pitiful expression.
Xiao Ning is her younger brother, and Xiao Xuanyuan has been with her since childhood, growing up together as her childhood sweetheart. Both boys are very important to her. But now, her brother Xiao Ning is going to fight against the boy she grew up with.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yu felt a wave of bitterness wash over her. Moreover, when she saw her cousin Xun'er holding hands with her brother Xuanyuan earlier, she felt a pang of sorrow. Now, her emotions were incredibly complex, with familial love and another inexplicable, tangled feeling clashing together, causing her immense pain.
Seeing the pain on his older sister's pale face, Xiao Ning felt conflicted. He had always been close friends with his sister and Xiao Xuanyuan since childhood, and he had witnessed his sister Xiao Yu's feelings for Xiao Xuanyuan. Therefore, he often tried to play matchmaker for his sister and Xiao Yu, intentionally bringing them together.
However, Xiao Xuanyuan's fighting spirit became difficult to advance, and the two gradually drifted apart. Although they no longer interacted, Xiao Ning still took care of the person her older sister cared about from time to time.
However, ever since Xiao Xuanyuan and Xun'er got together, Xiao Ning had been deeply unhappy and had always wanted to get revenge on Xiao Xuanyuan. But unexpectedly, Xiao Xuanyuan had recently taken some kind of powerful tonic, his Dou Qi level advancing as casually as if it were nothing, suddenly jumping from the third to the ninth level. If she didn't seize this opportunity to teach him a lesson, she feared she would never be able to contend with him again…
Xiao Yu was pleading with him, and Xiao Ning hesitated, unsure of what to do. However, his gaze involuntarily drifted to Xun'er not far away, where he saw her smiling broadly, gazing tenderly at Xiao Xuanyuan on the platform. Her playful, adorable, and affectionate demeanor was simply irresistible to him.
Xiao Ning gritted his teeth and stubbornly shook off Xiao Yu's hand. His face was cold as he said, "That bastard Xiao Xuanyuan stole my woman. I must avenge him. No matter how good we were when we were kids, that's all in the past."
After Xiao Ning finished speaking, he immediately turned around and strode towards the high platform. At this moment, a young man ran out from the area designated by the Obama family. He walked quickly and caught up with Xiao Ning.
"Young Master Xiao Ning, are you going up on stage to challenge Xiao Xuanyuan?" The young man asked as soon as he caught up.
"Who are you? Why do you ask that?" Xiao Ning had never seen this person before, and upon hearing the young man's question, he immediately became wary.
"Young Master Xiao Ning, don't worry. I am a servant of the Oba family patriarch. This is a Qi-boosting pill that our patriarch gave you. If you are unable to defeat Xiao Xuanyuan, you can take this pill. It will definitely allow your fighting spirit to break through to the level of a Dou Zhe in a short time, and it will also have multiple effects on improving your physical condition. Just keep it safe."
The young servant pulled a jade bottle from his robes and quickly handed it to Xiao Ning. Then he turned and jogged away.
Xiao Ning scratched his head, somewhat bewildered, but still accepted the jade bottle.
Without pausing again, Xiao Ning walked straight up to the high platform.
Seeing that Xiao Ning still wouldn't listen to her older sister's advice, and recalling the scene she had just witnessed between Xiao Xuanyuan and Xun'er, Xiao Yu suddenly felt an overwhelming pang of sorrow in her heart...
Standing on the high platform in front of Elder Xiao He, Xiao Ning cupped his hands and asked for a challenge: "Elder, I wish to challenge Xiao Xuanyuan!"

Chapter Forty-Six: A Killing Intent
After Xiao Ning stepped onto the platform, everyone in the room couldn't help but look at him.
"Can this guy handle it?"
"Who knows? Xiao Ning just had his coming-of-age ceremony, and his strength is also at the ninth level of Dou Qi! He might have a chance to defeat Xiao Xuanyuan!"
"Hey, have you forgotten that Xiao Yan was still utterly defeated by him a month ago? Back then, it was Xiao Xuanyuan who saved face for Xiao Yan. Otherwise, if he had to kneel and beg for mercy in front of so many clansmen, Xiao Yan and his clan chief father would probably have no face to stay in the Xiao family."
……
After Xiao Ning took the stage, the younger generation of the Xiao family began to discuss it amongst themselves. In the room, the well-known representatives of various factions invited to Wutancheng were also curious and whispered among themselves, trying to find out Xiao Ning's name and background.
Seeing Xiao Ning approach, he cupped his hands in a gesture of invitation to fight. Xiao He frowned and shouted, "Xiao Ning, what are you doing here? Get down!"
"No, Grandpa! How could Xiao Xuanyuan have advanced to the ninth level of Dou Qi in just over a month? There must be something fishy going on. Grandpa, please don't stop me from fighting this guy!"
Xiao Ning's face was very stubborn, and she looked at Xiao Xuanyuan to the side with a defiant expression.
"Nonsense! Nephew Xuanyuan has been playing with you and your sister since childhood. Now that he has regained his talent for cultivation, you should be happy for him. How can you undermine him like this! Stop fooling around and get out of here!" Xiao He shouted angrily at Xiao Ning again.
But Xiao Ning was determined to fight to the death this time, and he was determined to fight Xiao Xuanyuan to the death! He did not listen to Xiao He's advice, but instead turned to the clan leader Xiao Zhan on the high platform and asked for a challenge: "Clan leader, the clan rules stipulate that every clan member who has undergone the coming-of-age ceremony has one opportunity to be challenged. I, Xiao Ning, will challenge Xiao Xuanyuan now!"
Xiao Ning finished speaking in one breath, then turned to look at Xiao Xuanyuan opposite her, her tone unusually firm.
This grandson is so disobedient! Immediately, Xiao He's old face turned ashen with anger.
For some unknown reason, or perhaps because Xiao Zhan was still bothered by Xiao Yan's loss to Xiao Xuanyuan during the last ritual test, after hearing Xiao Ning's request, Xiao Zhan waved his hand at Xiao He and said, "Elder, there's no danger to the lives of the younger generation fighting each other. Just follow the rules!"
Since the clan chief had spoken, Xiao He had no choice but to comply. He glared fiercely at Xiao Ning, then turned to Xiao Xuanyuan beside him and said, "Nephew Xuanyuan, do you accept this?"
“No problem!” Xiao Xuanyuan said coldly, his arms crossed over his chest.
"Alright! Xiao Ning versus Xiao Xuanyuan, the duel officially begins!" Seeing that Xiao Xuanyuan ignored his wink, Xiao He had no choice but to announce the duel.
Having known Elder Xiao Yuntian for a long time, Xiao He naturally understood his nephew's personality and temperament. He could usually joke and laugh with this old fellow, but when he got serious, not even ten horses could pull him back. His personality was exceptionally strong!
"Nephew Xuanyuan, this rascal won't listen to my advice. You must show him mercy later! After all, he is still my grandson!"
A fight between the two is now unavoidable. Xiao He can only give Xiao Xuanyuan a slight reminder, asking him to hold back and not cripple his willful grandson!
Regarding the battle between the two, Xiao He's opinion had already tipped in favor of Xiao Xuanyuan. Although he didn't know which master was guiding Xiao Xuanyuan, to have taught him to such a level in just over a month must mean that the master's abilities were extraordinary. And how could Xiao Xuanyuan's combat strength be lacking?
Xiao Ning was already annoyed by Xiao He's nagging. His fighting spirit had also advanced to the ninth level this month. He didn't believe that Xiao Xuanyuan could defeat him, a veteran expert!
After Elder Xiao He stepped aside, the atmosphere on the high platform immediately became tense.
Gazing at the two youths facing off on the high platform, all eyes in the room turned towards them. They all wanted to know if this prodigy who had suddenly appeared in just over a month could also achieve such an astonishingly rapid progress in his combat skills, just like his advancement.
In the VIP section, Xiao Yuntian and Xiao He exchanged a glance and nodded slightly. Then their gazes shifted to the two youths in the center of the arena. Although Xiao Xuanyuan's fighting spirit had surprised him, Xiao Yuntian had never seen Xiao Xuanyuan ever go to the fighting skills hall to learn from a specialized family fighting skills master.
It's important to understand that combat skills are different from the initial stage of combat qi cultivation. While low-level Yellow Rank combat skills can be learned through trial and error, once you reach the intermediate or advanced Yellow Rank, combat skills cannot be learned simply through trial and error. You must receive specialized instruction from a family's combat skill master.
However, for the past five or six years, Xiao Xuanyuan's battle qi has remained at the third level. Xiao Yuntian has never heard the family's battle qi masters mention that Xiao Xuanyuan ever sought out them to learn battle techniques. On the contrary, Xiao Ning frequently goes to learn.
According to Xiao Yuntian's understanding, Xiao Ning, who just broke through to the ninth level of Dou Qi this month, has mastered at least three intermediate Yellow Rank Dou Techniques and one advanced Yellow Rank Dou Technique. These Dou Techniques, along with his newly advanced ninth level of Dou Qi, are enough to make him hard to find an opponent among his peers. In this competition, his grandson seems to be at a disadvantage.
"Hehe, Third Elder, do you think little brother Xuanyuan can win?" Beside Xiao Yuntian, Ya Fei stared intently at Xiao Xuanyuan in the arena and chuckled softly.
As for Xiao Zhan, the patriarch of the Xiao family, seeing his cold and unpleasant expression, Ya Fei didn't want to make a fool of herself.
Xiao Yuntian slowly suppressed the slight worry in his heart and laughed heartily, "That kid Xuanyuan didn't disappoint me in the last test, so I'm sure that brat Xiao Ning won't be a match for Xuanyuan this time either! I have high hopes for him!"
"Oh, really? Hehe, I didn't expect the Third Elder to actually have that kind of confidence." With a playful glint in her alluring eyes, Ya Fei blinked her long, beautiful eyelashes, her lovely eyes looking at the indifferent red-clad youth in the arena with a hint of surprise.
Ya Fei's cultivation level wasn't very high, but even from the distance between the VIP seats and the high platform, she could feel the killing intent emanating from Xiao Xuanyuan!
Sensing the sudden gust of wind, Ya Fei's rosy, sexy lips parted, her beautiful face beaming with a charming and mature allure that captivated all: "For some reason, I could sense the murderous aura emanating from Brother Xuanyuan from afar. Judging from his stance, he must be quite confident in defeating Xiao Ning."
Without realizing it, Ya Fei unconsciously dropped the word "little" from her address of "Little Brother Xuanyuan." This was a boy who could instill a chilling killing intent in her! What a pair of cold and indifferent eyes! Yet this was a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old!

Chapter Forty-Seven: The Ancient Art of Reincarnation
Xiao Yuntian was taken aback; he too felt a chill! A desolate, icy feeling, like snowflakes dancing in November!
"How can this kid be so cold? I've never seen him like this before."
Not only Xiao Yuntian, but also the clan leader Xiao Zhan and other guests felt it to varying degrees!
Feeling the chilling aura, Xiao He's heart trembled. This was just a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy! How could I, a five-star Great Dou Master, be afraid of the cold killing intent of a mere boy? Xiao He shook his head in disbelief, but since the two were already preparing to fight, he could only pray in his heart that Xiao Xuanyuan would show mercy!
Looking at Xiao Xuanyuan's icy expression, Xiao Ning felt the chilling aura emanating from him growing colder and colder! Despite the bright sunshine, it didn't warm him at all!
"I can't take it!" Xiao Ning gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly. A faint fighting spirit circulated rapidly within his body, instantly bringing a powerful force and warmth that slightly dispelled the strange chill in the surroundings.
No longer silent, Xiao Ning stomped his foot hard on the ground and rushed straight towards Xiao Xuanyuan, who was right in front of him. As he rushed forward, Xiao Ning clenched his fists, and a powerful force gathered in his fists, the fist light emitting a faint earthy yellow color.
As Xiao Ning charged towards Xiao Xuanyuan less than half a meter away, his fist, imbued with immense power, slammed into Xiao Xuanyuan's throat: "Mid-level Yellow Rank Battle Skill: Earth-Shattering Fist!"
His face remained cold and unchanged. When Xiao Ning's powerful fist came at him, Xiao Xuanyuan was not afraid at all. A cold light flashed in his eyes, and his hands formed claws against each other. Suddenly, a strange power emerged, invisible and colorless.
Suddenly, Xiao Ning felt a heavy force pressing down on him, causing his speed to slow down considerably. Xiao Ning was shocked and quickly mobilized more battle qi from his body to enhance his 'Hun Di Quan' fighting technique.
Almost at the same time that Xiao Xuanyuan used his gravity fighting technique, Xiao Ning used even greater force to break free from the attack and pressure of gravity. Then, his fist, undiminished, struck in front of Xiao Xuanyuan in an instant.
"Hmph!" Xiao Xuanyuan snorted coldly, spreading his hands forward. Then, two different forces surged from his hands instantly, like two flames rising slowly.
Without a word, just as Xiao Ning charged forward and his fist, gleaming with a fierce light, was about to strike him, Xiao Xuanyuan slammed his right hand down towards Xiao Ning.
A ball of deep black light emanated from Xiao Xuanyuan's right hand. When this ball of deep black light collided with the fist energy on Xiao Ning's fist, a huge energy shockwave suddenly erupted.
Xiao Ning's expression changed drastically. His body felt as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer. The energy shockwave from the deep black flames impacted him, and he was forced back by the powerful force. After retreating more than ten steps, Xiao Ning finally managed to stop himself in a somewhat disheveled state.
On the VIP seats of the high platform, watching this scene, Xiao Yuntian smiled. Beside him, Ya Fei smiled gracefully. She elegantly picked up the white jade teacup in front of her, her sexy red lips slightly parted, and she took a small sip of tea.
"A chilling killing intent, a murderous aura—this little guy's strength is truly remarkable. I'm sure if he were to venture out into the world, he would become a ruthless and cold-blooded killer!" A charming smile played on Ya Fei's lips as she thought to herself.
