Chapter 14 - Chapter 14 : Arrival at Wutan City, Xiao Family

On the Gryphon Beast, Xiao lou and Xiao Mai sat on chairs. They felt a tremor under their feet, followed by a sense of weightlessness. Having ridden Gryphon Beasts before, they understood that the Gryphon Beast had taken off.

Since the Gryphon Beast had taken off, it meant Xiao Feng had arrived.

Sure enough, as they expected, footsteps came from the doorway about ten seconds later. A handsome young man in white entered the room, and behind him, the tall Xiao Chen followed closely.

"Cousin Xiao Feng! Cousin Xiao Chen!"

Seeing Xiao Feng and Xiao Chen enter, Xiao Lou and Xiao Mai quickly stood up and called out, still a bit nervous.

Xiao Lou and Xiao Mai had long known through Cousin Xiao Chen that Xiao Feng's current strength had reached 7th-Rank Dou Grand Master and peak 4th grade Alchemist, so even though they had a bloodline connection with him, they were naturally somewhat intimidated.

"Cousin Xiao Mai, Cousin Xiao Lou, long time no see."

Seeing the two, Xiao Feng showed a gentle smile. He had met both of them before, so saying 'long time no see' was not inappropriate.

Seeing that the two seemed a bit nervous, Xiao Feng immediately understood what was going on and simply sat down at the table without saying anything.

After Xiao Chen sat down right after Xiao Feng, Xiao Mai and Xiao Lou exchanged glances and then sat back down on their chairs.

Seeing that the atmosphere seemed a bit off, Xiao Feng actively started the conversation.

"By the way, is your current strength at Seven-Star Dou Practitioner? Cultivate diligently. If you can reach Dou Master level this year, I can give you a gift."

Xiao Lou and Xiao Mai were immediately attracted by these words. Over the years, Xiao Feng had sent back many high-level Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques, as well as some Medicinal Pills, to the Xiao Family.

Now that he said he was giving a gift, it certainly wouldn't be ordinary merchandise.

"What kind of gift?" Xiao Mai asked curiously.

"Hmm, something I don't need." Stopping Xiao Mai, who was about to speak, Xiao Feng then said to Xiao Chen, who had a hint of envy, "You too. If you can enter the Inner Academy this year, I will also give you a gift."

As fellow members of the Xiao Family, it wouldn't be appropriate to treat them differently since they were present.

"Thank you, Cousin!"

Xiao Chen, who was beside him, didn't expect to be included and said with great joy, showing no intention of refusing. After all, Xiao Feng was a 7th-Rank Dou Grand Master and an Peak 4th grade Alchemist; anything he casually gave away that he didn't need would be a treasure. Only a fool would refuse.

"Hehe, no need to thank me. It'll be about twenty days until we return to the Family. During this time, everyone should cultivate well."

…Over the next twenty-odd days, the Gryphon Beast flew continuously towards the Gama Empire. As they flew over the borders of several countries, relying on the Face of Canaan Academy and his own 7th-Rank Dou Grand Master strength, Xiao Feng and his companions all passed safely without encountering any trouble.

During this time , Xiao Feng took out a Top Tier 'Three Lines Green Spirit Pill' fourth grade pills and top one at that which he personally refined when the instructors asked him to make this pill . he got it on his second try and after that he was able to refine it in two of three ingredients . so, he kept some of the best one to himself . 

Because of this pill , he was able to get huge amount of wealth and techniques .

'Three Lines Green Spirit Pill', a tier four medicinal pill. A normal 'Three Lines Green Spirit Pill' is able to help a Dou Shi break through and enter the Da Dou Shi class. If a Da Dou Shi were to consume it, it has a somewhat low chance of raising the strength of the person consuming it by one star and there are no negative medicinal effects.

He took it and successfully advanced to 9 star Dou Grand Master. only one step away from breaking through Dou Spirit . he thought he was able to enter into dou spirit . After few days of journey , they have reached near to the gama empire .

The border town of the Gama Empire also did not stop him, letting him pass very easily.

However, information about Xiao Feng began to spread from the border to certain places… Twenty days later.

Above a city in the Gama Empire, a Flying Magical Beast flashed past.

At this moment, Xiao Chen stood by the living room window, gazing into the distance. Xiao Feng came to his side and asked, "How much longer until we reach Wutan City?"

Hearing this, Xiao Chen took out a map, gestured, and then said,

"We just passed Qing yan City. At the speed of the Gryphon Beast, we should arrive in about twenty minutes."

"Hehe, we're finally almost there. Go tell Xiao Lou and Xiao Mai."

"Okay."

Looking at the departing figure of Xiao Chen, Xiao Feng turned to look out the window and murmured,

"Calculating the time, today should be the day the Xiao Family tests its members' Dou Qi!"

These past few days, he had undergone several life simulations and obtained hundreds of thousands of gold coins.

There's nothing special to say about the items, but one of the simulations mentioned that today was the day for the Family members' Dou Qi test… In Wutan City, Xiao Family, at the Dou Qi Test magic stone tablet plaza.

Boys and girls swarmed, and from time to time, a youth whose name was called would run to the central platform to test their Dou Qi.

Beside the test magic stone tablet, there was a middle-aged man responsible for announcing the information displayed on the tablet.

"Xiao Yun, Dou Disciple, Six star . Level: Intermediate!"

"Xiao Ling, Dou Qi, Stage Six! Rank: Intermediate!"

"Xiao Mao, Dou Qi, Stage Seven! Rank: Advanced!"

"Xiao Nai, Dou Qi, Stage Eight! Rank: Advanced!"

In the massive bluestone training field, over a hundred young boys and girls stood around as waves of clamor rose into the sky.

On the high platform to the left of the training field sat several insiders from the Xiao Family. In the central area were Clan Chief Xiao Zhan, the Three Elders, and some figures of authority.

The Grand Elder suddenly spoke to Xiao Zhan, who was sitting beside him.

"Hehe, our Family has become much stronger since Xiao Feng sent back those Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques! Quite a few genius seeds have appeared as well, wouldn't you say, Xiao Zhan?"

Xiao Zhan's eyes brightened, a pleased smile spreading across his face. "Indeed! Ever since Xiao Feng returned those high-grade Cultivation Techniques, Dou Techniques, and Medicinal Pills, the Xiao Family's strength has grown tremendously. Several Great Dou Masters have emerged within the clan, and with Xiao Feng himself now at the 7th-Rank Dou Grand Master level, we truly have a prodigy among us!"

The Xiao Family could now be considered the overlord of Wutan City. In this regard, the Grand Elder was indeed correct, and Xiao Zhan's pride in Xiao Feng was evident for all to see.

Xiao Chen had returned once last year; at that time, he was already a 1 Star Dou Grand Master, directly intimidating all the families, large and small, in Wutan City.

The Xiao Family could now be considered the overlord of Wutan City. In this regard, the Grand Elder was indeed correct.

"Next, Xiao Yan!"

Hearing this voice, Xiao Zhan's expression immediately brightened, and he turned to look at the youth standing at the edge of the training field.

The several Elders on the side also looked toward the training field with approving smiles.

Upon hearing this name, the boys and girls in the training field turned their gazes toward the figure at the edge, excitement and admiration written clearly on their faces.

"Let's see the progress of our 'Great Genius'!"

"Finally! I've been waiting to see how far he's come."

"Dou Practitioner 9-Star already? That's incredible!"

"Truly a prodigy—our Xiao Family has a treasure among its young!"

Walking through the crowd, the murmurs of praise filled Xiao Yan's ears. A gentle smile appeared on his face, his posture calm and confident.

Arriving beside the magic stone tablet, he reached out his right palm and pressed it firmly against it, releasing the surging Dou Qi within his body.

"Dou Qi, Stage Nine!"

The five large words on the magic stone tablet shone brilliantly, reflecting the intense Dou Qi in Xiao Yan's body. The crowd erupted in applause and cheering.

"Xiao Yan, Dou Qi, Stage Nine! Rank: High!"

Beside the magic stone tablet, a middle-aged man glanced at the information and announced it proudly, his tone filled with respect.

The crowd immediately erupted in admiration:

"Stage Nine! This genius truly lives up to his name!"

"Dou Practitioner 9-Star at this age! The Xiao Family can be proud!"

"Who could have imagined that this youth would surpass so many of his peers?"

On the platform, Xiao Zhan's eyes shone with pride, and a warm smile spread across his face. "Excellent! My son continues to make the Xiao Family proud. With this level of cultivation, the future is limitless!"

The Elders nodded in agreement, and even the other youths looked on with a mix of awe and respect.

"Not bad… though he's not the very top genius this time, he's still the second prodigy in our clan," Xiao Zhan thought to himself, his pride unchanged. "That's more than enough. The Xiao Family has two exceptional talents this year, and both will bring great honor."

He allowed himself a satisfied chuckle. "Being second doesn't matter—what matters is progress, diligence, and potential. Xiao Yan has already proven himself worthy of the Xiao Family's trust and expectation."

The crowd continued to murmur praises, acknowledging Xiao Yan's impressive cultivation, and even as the second-ranked genius, his achievements were nothing short of extraordinary.

"Next, Xiao…"

"Wait, what is that!"

The middle-aged man's call hadn't even finished before it was interrupted by a startled cry.

Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing. In the sky, a massive black shadow was flashing toward them.

The black shadow's speed was incredible, and soon those with sharp eyesight could clearly make out its appearance.

"That looks like a Demonic Beast!"

"Yes, it's a Flying Magical Beast. There's even a wooden cabin on its back; it must belong to some major power."

"That's a Flying Magical Beast from Canaan Academy! I saw one when Canaan Academy was recruiting!"

"Canaan Academy? Why are they appearing in Wutan City? Recruitment hasn't even started yet!"

A commotion erupted among the crowd. Before anyone could make sense of it, the Flying Magical Beast arrived above the bluestone training field and hovered in mid-air. Its massive wings stirred a powerful gale, causing some of the Xiao Family members below to stagger.

The Flying Magical Beast's sudden presence caused momentary chaos, but the riders quickly adjusted its height, preventing any accidents.

On the platform, Xiao Zhan and the Elders, who had risen nervously, breathed a sigh of relief. Just as they were about to step forward to ask about the visitors, a young voice rang out from the sky.

The cabin door opened, and a young man with a calm, confident aura stepped out. Jade-green Dou Qi flickered around him, and even from a distance, his cultivation radiance made the crowd gasp.

"That must be Xiao Feng!" whispered one of the younger family members. "His aura… it's far beyond any Dou Grandmaster we've seen in Wutan City!"

Xiao Zhan's eyes lit up with pride. "Indeed… Xiao Feng has reached the 9th-Rank Dou Grandmaster level. Outstanding!"

Even the Elders nodded in approval, murmuring among themselves.

Because of the resources , Xiao zhan and Grand elder have advanced to 9th-Rank Dou Grandmaster level . so , they can see his level vagely .

On the platform, Xiao Zhan and the several Elders, who had already stood up nervously, breathed a sigh of relief. 

"Wutan city, I am back !"
