Xiao Yan walked over. Xiao Zhan exchanged a glance with the Third Elder before smiling warmly at his son.
"Yan'er, it seems your Dou Qi is recovering quite fast. Tell me....how long do you think it'll take to fully recover?"
After a moment's thought, Xiao Yan replied calmly, "At most… about a year."
"A year?"
Xiao Zhan and the Third Elder looked at each other, and joy flickered in both their eyes.
"Hahaha! Excellent! From now on, focus on restoring your Dou Qi. Whatever resources you need, just tell the clan.....we'll provide everything you require!"
Xiao Zhan's laughter rang across the square.
As long as Xiao Yan's talent remained, he would always be the clan's core disciple—no questions asked.
"Thank you, Father."
Xiao Yan smiled faintly and turned to look toward the testing monument, where Xiao Yu had stepped forward.
"Dou Qi....Ninth Stage!"
When the examiner announced the result, Xiao Zhan's eyes gleamed brightly.
"Third Elder, if I remember correctly, Xiao Yu's only sixteen this year, yes?
At this rate, she'll likely become a Dou Fighter by next year."
The elder stroked his beard with a small smile. "That depends on her luck.
After all, there's always a chance of failure when breaking through.
Still, if she succeeds, she'll surely become a key student at Canaan Academy."
Canaan Academy—an excellent destination for small families like the Xiao Clan.
The elder sighed lightly. "If only we had a Qi Gathering Powder, things would be even better."
"Qi Gathering Powder?"
Hearing those words, Xiao Zhan gave an awkward laugh and said nothing more.
The Qi Gathering Powder was a fourth-grade pill, worth at least fifteen to twenty thousand gold coins....nearly an entire year's income for the clan.
Even Xiao Yan, the former number one genius, had never received such a luxury. For Xiao Yu, it was an impossible dream.
"Next.....Xiao Xun'er!"
The examiner's voice drew every gaze once more. The young girl stepped forward gracefully, her slender hands pressing gently against the monument.
"Dou Qi....Sixth Stage!"
The golden letters glowed brightly. A soft gasp rippled through the crowd.
Sixth stage Dou Qi wasn't rare.....but for an eleven-year-old girl? That was shocking.
"At this rate, she could become a Dou Fighter by fifteen!"
"She's definitely the most gifted one after Xiao Yan in the past hundred years."
"Heh, this girl…"
Xiao Yan chuckled quietly.
In truth, with Xun'er's God-grade Ancient Bloodline, if her Dou Emperor bloodline were activated, her cultivation speed would soar far beyond even his own.
Later, Xiao Yan learned that Gu Yuan had deliberately refrained from awakening her bloodline early, ensuring her foundation would remain stable.
In the Ancient Clan, even those with eighth-grade bloodlines began breaking through to the Dou Master realm at this age.
For those with Dou Emperor bloodlines, reaching the Dou King or even Dou Emperor realm by their late teens was hardly unusual.
"Still…" Xiao Yan's gaze deepened. "Once I regain more strength, perhaps I can help Father and my two brothers awaken their dormant Dou Emperor bloodlines ahead of time."
Of course, he wasn't referring to his own Flame Emperor bloodline, but rather to the ancient Dou Emperor lineage that flowed within the Xiao Clan itself.
His father and brothers possessed decent talent....around sixth or seventh-grade bloodlines by clan standards.
If he could help them awaken that latent power, their strength would skyrocket, allowing them to advance unhindered up to the Dou Saint realm.
And by the time they reached that bottleneck… Xiao Yan might have already reclaimed his throne as Emperor.
With that thought, he smiled faintly and turned to escort X
As the thought just arose in his heart, he saw Xiao Yu had already arrived in
front of him. "Xiao Yan, so you have a day like this too!"
A triumphant, scheming smile played on Xiao Yu's lips. As she spoke, she reached out to grab Xiao Yan by the collar
However, she grasped at empty air.
The young man in front of her had slipped away as easily as an eel. "Dodging? You're only at the 4th Level of Dou Qi now. Do you think you can
dodge me, at the 9th Level?"
Xiao Yu sneered coldly. Her slender, jade-like hands suddenly accelerated, the circulation of Dou Qi making her speed much faster.
Yet, no matter how fast she was, she still couldn't manage to grab hold of Xiao Yan's clothes.
Clearly, Xiao Yan hadn't activated a trace of Dou Qi, and his dodging movements weren't even very large, but Xiao Yu had no way to touch him.
