The Transmigrator Who Changed Doupo

He sighed inwardly, but announced aloud, "I've explained the rules for entering the Dou Qi Pavilion many times, so I won't repeat them here. In short, everyone must come out within two hours of entering the Dou Qi Pavilion. Also, each person can only take one Dou Qi technique that matches their own attribute. No more are allowed. If anyone tries to keep a technique for themselves, they will be disqualified from obtaining any Dou Qi techniques. So, you all need to be careful."

"Yes."

The many youths responded excitedly, their eyes also burning with desire as they gazed at the enormous pavilion. Obtaining a better martial arts technique would give them a head start over others, something that had always been the deepest desire of all the clansmen.

"Now that you know the rules, let's prepare to enter."

After gazing at the familiar boy for a while, Xiao Zhan nodded slightly to him, then stepped back, making way for the stone pillar standing in front of the pavilion's entrance. The stone pillar was about a meter tall, and at its top was a transparent crystal ball.

Xiao Zhan waved his hand, and the two guards behind him slowly pushed open the huge black door with a dull creak.

"After testing your own attributes, you can enter the gate. Remember, once inside, follow the path according to your own attributes and don't go the wrong way." After saying that, Xiao Zhan waved his hand to the crowd below, indicating that the testing could begin.

Seeing Xiao Zhan nod, the leading boy walked up excitedly, reached out and groped the crystal ball with both hands, and then a pale green light flashed on the crystal ball.

“It’s a wood element, let’s go in quickly.” Glancing at the crystal ball, Xiao Zhan nodded, his face still expressionless.

After someone took the lead, the crowd below the stage couldn't stay still. One by one, they rushed up, tested their own attributes, and then scrambled into the Battle Qi Pavilion.

Looking at the dwindling crowd around him, Xiao Xuanyuan tugged at Xun'er's hand and said with a smile, "I'll go first."

Xun'er playfully stuck out her little tongue. The family's martial arts techniques held no appeal for her, but since Xiao Xuanyuan was interested, she was happy to accompany him.

Soon, the remaining two or three people finished their tests, and it was Xiao Xuanyuan and his companion's turn. Xiao Xuanyuan smiled at Xun'er, released her hand, and then walked towards the stage.

Arriving at the crystal ball, ignoring the complicated look in the eyes of the clan leader Xiao Zhan, he placed his large hand directly on the crystal ball.

Instantly, a blazing red light emanated, much brighter than the previous crowd and even Xiao Yan's fire attribute.

"Fire attribute, next." Xiao Zhan said expressionlessly, then called out the next person.

Xiao Xuanyuan remained silent, standing directly to the side, watching Xun'er's upcoming test.

Xiao Zhan glanced at it sideways, then ignored it.

However, when Xun'er stepped forward to take the test, Xiao Zhan's attitude became somewhat humble, even showing a hint of apprehension. Xun'er wasn't originally a member of the Xiao family; the powerful force behind her had placed her in the Xiao family for their own purposes. Xiao Zhan vaguely sensed that this matter wasn't simple, and it seemed they were after the family's heirloom treasure.

Chapter 57 Xiao Xuanyuan, you need to treat her better.

Gazing at the radiant crystal ball before her, Xun'er hesitated for a moment, then shook her head helplessly, her slender fingers gently touching it.

With Xun'er's gentle touch of her jade finger, the crystal ball, after a brief moment of stillness, suddenly burst forth with a fiery red light. In an instant, the crystal ball transformed into a fireball, radiating intense heat and dazzling brilliance.

The scene before him greatly surprised Xiao Xuanyuan. His mouth was slightly open, and he couldn't help but gasp.

This scene left everyone around speechless and shocked.

The fireball lasted for a moment, and Xun'er quickly withdrew her jade hand. Then the fireball inside the crystal ball slowly extinguished, and at this time, the crystal ball was covered with spider web-like cracks.

Looking at the crystal ball that was about to shatter with a wry smile, Xiao Zhan sighed helplessly, looked at Xun'er with a hint of apprehension in his eyes, and said respectfully, "You can go in now."

"Young lady, you have such a pure fire physique. You're very lucky, but it's a pity that she doesn't have a trace of wood element in her body. Otherwise, she would be a top-notch alchemist." Just as Xiao Xuanyuan was shocked, the old alchemist's amazing soul transmission suddenly appeared.

He nodded somewhat speechlessly, but then changed his voice and transmitted his words: "Elder Yao, do you have any methods to make Xun'er suitable for alchemy? Even unorthodox remedies are fine."

Upon hearing this, the old alchemist said irritably, "Do you think being an alchemist is so easy? Every alchemist is a very noble being. Although this girl has a fire constitution, the missing trace of wood attribute is extremely rare. Where am I supposed to find it? Unless..."

Hearing this, Xiao Xuanyuan felt somewhat disheartened, but after hearing "unless," a glimmer of hope rose in his heart.

"Unless we use a technique of grafting, separating a strand of your wood element from her, but this method is extremely dangerous, and the person from whom the wood element is separated is very likely to be harmed..."

"What's the method? Tell me quickly..."

Privately, the two whispered among themselves. Meanwhile, after testing her attributes, Xun'er walked straight over, reached out her jade-like hand, took Xiao Xuanyuan's large hand, and pulled him into the Dou Qi Pavilion.

After seeing Xiao Xuanyuan being pulled inside, Xiao Mei glanced at the crystal ball on the platform, which suddenly shattered. She then stomped her foot angrily and said, "It's all that little vixen's fault..."

Unseen by everyone, during Xun'er's crystal ball test, a flicker of surprise flashed across Xiao Xue's beautiful eyes not far away, before she regained her composure...

The crystal ball shattered instantly after Xiao Xuanyuan and Xiao Zhan left. Gazing at the shards, the last vestige of resentment in Xiao Zhan's heart finally vanished. Now that Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Xuanyuan were together, with Xiao Xun'er possessing such a powerful backer, what hope did his son have left…?

Stepping through the dark gate, the light suddenly dimmed, and Xiao Xuanyuan snapped out of his reverie from his conversation with the old alchemist. He had already told the old alchemist to do as he was told; as long as Xun'er could become an alchemist, Xiao Xuanyuan would have no regrets, no matter the cost.

Soft light emanated from the fire beads on the surrounding walls, illuminating the spacious pavilion in a deep and silent atmosphere.

After his eyes adjusted to the light in the attic, Xiao Xuanyuan looked around and saw several wide passageways in front of him. At the very front of each passageway were huge characters representing various attributes.

His gaze swept over the several passages, finally settling on the fire-attribute passage on the left. Xiao Xuanyuan turned his head slightly and said to Xun'er, "Xun'er, let's go."

"Mm." Xun'er nodded in agreement. Then, Xiao Xuanyuan took her hand and walked towards the fire-attribute passage diagonally in front of him.

Entering the fire-attribute passage, five more paths appeared, and among these paths, one could still sparsely see the figures of some clansmen.

"The third path of the fire route." After scanning the area and making a quick identification, Xiao Xuanyuan took Xun'er's hand and walked straight into the third path.

Upon entering the passage, a completely different world unfolded. On both sides of the passage, every few meters there was a thick, fiery red wooden door. All the doors were now open, and faint red light curtains appeared within them.

The red light barrier is a defensive barrier, and also the final test for all the young clansmen who enter. To obtain the cultivation techniques within the red light barrier, one must break through the barrier's restrictions.

He and Xun'er strolled slowly along the path, glancing with amusement at the clansmen on both sides who were trying to break through the red light barrier.

As he turned a corner, Xiao Xuanyuan suddenly saw a very familiar figure.

His body was thin, and his skin was much darker. His once upright posture now looked rather ordinary.

Xiao Xuanyuan took Xun'er's hand and walked over. When they arrived in front of the figure, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Xiao Yan, we've run into you again."

Upon hearing this, the young man who was focused on breaking through the red light barrier in front of him trembled slightly, then stopped his attack and turned around: "Xiao...Xiao Xuanyuan!"

Upon seeing the person before him clearly, a flash of resentment crossed Xiao Yan's eyes, but even more so, it was fear. Having been defeated twice by Xiao Xuanyuan, Xiao Yan knew that the young man before him was no longer the same as before.

Even in the last ritual test battle, Xiao Yan hadn't fulfilled the promise he made. How dare he act presumptuously in front of Xiao Xuanyuan now?

"Xiao Yan, not bad! I wasn't wrong about you. During the coming-of-age ceremony, even Xiao Xiongdong, whose strength had reached the seventh level of Dou Qi and who was fighting you again, was no match for you. It seems that you have made some progress recently." With a big laugh, Xiao Xuanyuan stretched out his hand, just about to pat Xiao Yan's shoulder, but Xiao Yan took a step back and dodged it.

"You don't need to worry about it!"

When Xiao Yan uttered those words, Xiao Xuanyuan shook his head speechlessly.

"Xun'er, let's go." Since they didn't want to see us, there was no need to make a fool of ourselves here. Xiao Xuanyuan pulled Xun'er and walked forward.

Throughout the entire ordeal, Xun'er didn't utter a single word to Xiao Yan. She merely glanced at him with a complex expression before following Xiao Xuanyuan away. Xun'er always knew that Brother Xuanyuan was her true love, and as for Xiao Yan, he was merely someone she had mistakenly loved, and even then, her love wasn't deep. It was simply a case of two people destined to be apart.

Watching Xun'er obediently follow behind Xiao Xuanyuan, gradually disappearing into the distance, Xiao Yan felt a pang of bitterness. He knew Xun'er loved Xiao Xuanyuan, but seeing her with someone else involuntarily stirred a strong sense of loss within him. However, he could only keep telling himself that this unrequited love had to end.

As Xun'er's figure was about to disappear ahead, Xiao Yan finally couldn't hold back any longer and shouted loudly, "Xiao Xuanyuan, you have to treat her better."

Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Divine Fire Technique (Happy New Year)

"Xun'er, don't worry, I will always be good to you." Hearing the shouts from behind, Xiao Xuanyuan turned his head slightly and said with a somewhat solemn expression.

"Mmm," Xun'er responded softly, and the two continued on their way.

"Xun'er, things will eventually pass, don't overthink it." Xiao Xuanyuan said gently to Xun'er, fearing that she still had some lingering feelings for Xiao Yan.

"I know that Brother Xuanyuan means well for Xun'er, but Xun'er has already forgotten him." Xun'er walked quickly forward and walked side by side with Xiao Xuanyuan, intimately together.

Feeling somewhat relieved, the two soon arrived at a wooden door.

"Number 52?" After confirming several times, it was confirmed that it was this wooden door.

Before entering the Dou Qi Pavilion, Xiao Yuntian secretly summoned Xiao Xuanyuan and specifically told him that in the fire-attribute passage number fifty-two, there was a mid-level Yellow-rank cultivation technique called "The False Fire Technique." This was crucial information that he had obtained at great expense and through his connections.

As for the fact that the family possessed a top-level fire-attribute Yellow-rank advanced cultivation technique, Xiao Yuntian was aware of it. However, this Yellow-rank advanced cultivation technique had already been decided by the patriarch, Xiao Zhan. Xiao Zhan's power in the family was too low; he was only the third-ranked elder. It was already quite remarkable that he had managed to find this Yellow-rank intermediate cultivation technique, "The False Fire Technique," despite his great efforts.

Just as Xiao Xuanyuan rolled up his sleeves, preparing to break through the red light barrier of number fifty-two, a young man suddenly appeared behind him.

He preemptively stepped forward and launched an attack on the red light barrier outside the wooden door before Xiao Xuanyuan could make a move.

Seeing someone snatch it from him, Xiao Xuanyuan was very surprised. Was this guy out of his mind? He even dared to steal the cultivation technique he had chosen?

The boy's attack was quite powerful; a fiery fist struck out, causing ripples to spread across the surface of the red light screen.

Just as he was about to make another move, Xiao Xuanyuan reached out and patted him on the shoulder, saying somewhat displeasedly, "Brother, you don't understand the principle of first come, first served, do you? What do you mean by doing this?"

"First come, first served? Didn't you see I was breaking through the defenses? How could you say you were here first?" The boy stopped his attack, turned around, and smiled coldly.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuanyuan laughed in exasperation, and reached out his other hand to pat Xun'er's hand reassuringly, signaling her to let go.

Xun'er's pretty face also looked amused. This young man was even trying to steal the cultivation technique from Brother Xuanyuan. Wasn't he afraid of kicking a hornet's nest?

Xiao Xuanyuan rolled up his sleeves and said, "Either you move aside, or I'll beat you up."

Upon hearing this, the young man laughed heartily, showing no fear: "Xiao Xuanyuan, don't think you're so great just because you've been making waves lately and won two battles. Let me tell you, I'm also a ninth-level Dou Qi master. If you're not convinced, let's have a match first."

"Oh, then let's give it a try." With that, Xiao Xuanyuan flashed forward and threw a punch at the boy.

The boy reacted quickly, throwing a punch back at him.

boom!

Xiao Xuanyuan took a step back, while the boy fared much worse, being thrown against the red light screen behind him by the impact, and then bounced back by the red light screen.

"Just in time!" Xiao Xuanyuan shouted, kicking him squarely in the stomach as the ball flew towards him.

With a little force, the kick sent the boy flying, crashing into the rough wall of the nearby alley.

Bang! A heavy thud echoed as something crashed into the ground, and the body collapsed like a dog.

Clapping his hands to brush off the dust, Xiao Xuanyuan said dismissively, "Pathetic."

Xun'er watched from the side and couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle: "Brother Xuanyuan, don't take it to heart."

"Hmm." Nodding slightly, Xiao Xuanyuan said again, "Xun'er, move away a bit, I'm going to break this light barrier."

Once Xun'er was a safe distance away, he mobilized his internal fighting spirit, circulating it along specific meridians, and chanted, "Reincarnation Technique, Darkness!"

Two pure black flames appeared out of thin air in his hands and suddenly struck the red light screen.

呲呲!

The pure black flame collided with the red light curtain, causing the red light curtain to ripple continuously, buzzing and shaking violently.

The light screen remained still for a while, then Xiao Xuanyuan's fighting spirit suddenly surged in, and with the help of the fighting spirit, the pure black flames rose even higher out of thin air.

"Break." As the word was uttered, the swaying red light screen let out a mournful cry and shattered completely in an instant.
