Chapter 4 - Chapter 4 The beginning of the story

Three days passed in a flash, and a loud voice suddenly rang out in the Xiao Family Square.

"Xiao Yan, Dou Zhi Qi, third stage! Level: low level!"

In the center of the square, next to the magic test stone tablet, a middle-aged man glanced at the information displayed on the tablet and announced it in an indifferent tone.

As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, a burst of mocking commotion immediately broke out in the crowded square.

"Third stage? Hehe, just as I expected, this 'genius' is marking time again this year!"

"If the clan leader wasn't his father, this kind of trash would have been driven out of the clan long ago and left to fend for himself. How could he have the chance to stay in the clan and eat and drink for free?"

"Who knows? Maybe he did something to anger the gods..."

"It seems that the plot of the original novel is about to officially begin." In a remote corner of the square, a young man stood quietly, observing the lively situation in the square and the mocking voices that kept coming to his ears, murmuring to himself.

After mastering the Vermillion Bird Burning Sky Thunder, Mo Yu had secluded himself in his own hut except for eating and drinking. With the help of the Vermillion Bird Burning Sky Thunder and his experience from his previous life, his strength had increased again, reaching the seventh stage of fighting force, an advanced level.

Just when Mo Yu was about to continue his retreat, his grandfather, Butler Mo, personally found Xiao family head Xiao Zhan and requested a ritual test on his behalf, a test that only members of the Xiao family could participate in.

Mo Yu did not refuse this. In the martial arts world, the most taboo thing is prolonged seclusion. He also knew the principle of "too much is as bad as too little." Three days of seclusion was just right for him to relax.

In addition, he was also very curious about the future 'Emperor Yan' Xiao Yan. Thinking about the famous scenes from his first life's memories, he followed the route in his memory and came to the Xiao Family Square.

Sure enough, not long after Mo Yu arrived, he saw this famous scene, and it overlapped with his memories from his first life.

Hearing the constant ridicule around him, Mo Yu couldn't help but reveal a scornful smile.

It is human nature to flatter the powerful and look down on the weak. Recalling the memories of his original body and first life, Mo Yu knew clearly how terrifying the talent of this "fallen genius" was.

He practiced Qi at the age of four, reached the ninth stage of Dou Qi at the age of ten, and became a Dou Zhe at the age of eleven!

This kind of talent can be said to be the best in the entire Dou Qi Continent. Even the predecessor of the Xiao family, the Xiao clan of the ancient eight clans in its heyday, probably couldn't find a few such geniuses.

Mo Yu even guessed that even without Yao Lao's help, Xiao Yan's achievements would still be limitless.

Shocked by Xiao Yan's extraordinary talent, everyone in the Xiao family at that time tried to curry favor with this talented young man. However, once he fell from the altar, he was ridiculed by the crowd.

It can be said that people's hearts are fickle, and they know their own feelings.

However, Mo Yu knew clearly that Xiao Yan was just a dormant dragon at the moment.

Although he had lost his strength and glory, three years of training had made Xiao Yan's mind extremely mature and resolute. This training laid a solid foundation for his future success.

In addition, Yao Lao would soon appear. With the help of this top alchemist on the continent, the young man would leap up and soar into the sky like a dragon, shocking the world!

Mo Yu also sighed about this. The son of destiny is not just a casual saying, just like him in his previous life.

However, with twelve innate mysterious thunders in his possession and his experience from his previous life, he would not think that he would lose to the combination of Xiao Yan and Yao Lao.

While thinking this, the test in the field continued.

"Xiao Mei, fighting spirit: seventh stage! Level: advanced!"

Next to the magic stone tablet, a charming girl heard her results and a proud smile appeared on her face.

At the same time, Mo Yu heard another round of praise.

Seeing the smug and charming girl in the field, Mo Yu shook his head lightly, thinking that she was just a short-sighted woman.

"Next, Xiao Xun'er!"

Amid the noisy crowd, the tester's voice rang out again.

As this elegant name sounded, the originally noisy crowd in the square suddenly quieted down, and all eyes shifted to her.

Mo Yu couldn't help but move his eyes slightly, following the gazes of the crowd, wanting to see with his own eyes the official first wife of Xiao Yan in the original novel, the future mistress of the 'Endless Fire Domain.'

Where everyone's eyes were focused, a young girl in a purple dress stood elegantly. Her calm and tender face did not change at all despite everyone's attention.

The girl's cool and indifferent temperament was like a newly blossoming lotus. Although she was young, she already had an otherworldly aura. In terms of beauty and temperament, she was undoubtedly superior to Xiao Mei.

Even Mo Yu, who had seen countless demon women, witches, and Taoist fairies in his previous life, couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Xiao Yan was indeed fortunate to win over this beautiful girl at such a young age.

She had a good family background, good looks, and talent. Her personality was a combination of tsundere yet cute, domineering, charming, and gentle. No wonder Xun'er was loved by so many people.

At this time, Xun'er had already walked to the front of the magic stone tablet. She stretched out her small hand, and her purple sleeves inlaid with black and gold threads slid down, revealing a piece of snow-white, tender wrist. She then lightly touched the stone tablet...

After a moment of silence, the dazzling light shone again above the stone tablet.

"Dou Zhi Qi : Ninth Stage! Level: Advanced!"

Looking at the words on the stone tablet, the scene fell into silence.

Hearing the constant praises from all around, Mo Yu shook his head indifferently. He knew that this was the result of Xun'er deliberately suppressing her realm breakthrough. Otherwise, with the resources of the ancient clan and Xun'er's talent, the girl's strength would definitely not be limited to this.

Amid the admiring and ardent gazes of the crowd, Xun'er slowly walked through the crowd and finally came to the side of the young man at the back who was being ridiculed by everyone.

Seeing this scene, there were more howls of jealous wolves.

The young man was Xiao Yan. At this moment, he was far from being as high-spirited as he would be later. Instead, he looked extremely dejected. He looked more like an internet-addicted teenager who had been in an internet cafe for three days and three nights.

After learning about Xun'er's results, Xiao Yan's back looked even more lonely. After chatting casually with the girl, the young man lost interest. Just as he turned around and was about to leave the square, a voice suddenly rang out.

"Mo Yu, Dou Zhi Qi : seventh stage! Level: advanced!"

The tester's voice sounded again.

"Mo Yu, who is this? How come I've never heard of him? He actually has the strength of the seventh stage of fighting power!"

"Isn't this an internal test of our Xiao family? How could someone not named Xiao participate?"

"Mo Yu, I seem to have heard of him. He seems to be the grandson of Butler Mo. But I heard that he doesn't have much talent. How could he be so powerful?"

At this time, the middle-aged man next to the test magic stone tablet saw Mo Yu's results, and a forced smile appeared on his serious face as he said, "Not bad, Uncle Mo has a good grandson."

Hearing such a 'crude' compliment from the man, Mo Yu was stunned for a moment, then realized that the man and his grandfather might have a close relationship, so he thanked him lightly, "Thank you for the compliment, it's just a small achievement."

Of course, in Mo Yu's mind, this level of strength was not even an achievement, it was just a polite answer.

The middle-aged man was stunned to hear Mo Yu's calm answer, as if it had nothing to do with him. Instead, he praised, "Not arrogant or impatient, very good. It seems that my Xiao family has produced another genius."

The middle-aged man's words shocked the Xiao family members in the audience. They all looked at the young man on the field, curious about how this person from another family could be called a genius.

Even Xiao Mei, who also had the seventh stage of fighting power, looked at him curiously with her beautiful eyes. She didn't understand why she wasn't looked at differently despite having the same strength as him.

Seeing the envious, admiring, and even jealous looks from the Xiao family members, Mo Yu remained calm. Having experienced two lives, he was not the kind of rookie who would be easily affected by such things.

Just as Mo Yu shook his head and was about to leave, a young, immature, and somewhat hoarse and weak voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Cousin Mo Yu, congratulations."
