[Ding! You touched Xiao Yan and gained unparalleled comprehension!]
[Ding! You touched Xiao Yan and gained the Concealing Breath Technique! Note: Allows you to conceal your cultivation aura and freely reveal an aura no higher than your own realm!]
[Ding! You touched Xiao Yan and gained 50,000 gold coins!]
Xiao Lei patted Xiao Yan's shoulder a few times, and three rewards appeared in a row!
The system's mechanical voice now sounded wonderful to Xiao Lei.
Xiao Yan nodded and said, "Thank you for your encouragement, Cousin Xiao Lei. I won't be discouraged. Cousin Xiao Lei, I'll go back now."
Xiao Lei smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, go ahead and do your work."
"Goodbye, Cousin Xiao Lei," Xiao Yan said goodbye to Xiao Lei and then turned to leave.
After watching Xiao Yan leave, Xiao Lei turned and went back to his room, locked the door, and then sat cross-legged on the bed.
"Next, it's time to test the effects of these prizes!"
Muttering to himself, Xiao Lei first used the reward for his extraordinary comprehension.
In an instant, Xiao Lei felt his mind become clearer than ever before, and he seemed to have a clearer understanding of his body structure and even the natural world.
Indeed, with extraordinary comprehension, cultivating techniques and fighting skills would be effortless.
He could even create entirely new techniques and fighting skills!
Sensing the changes in his mind, Xiao Lei was quite satisfied, and then took out the Concealing Breath Technique to cultivate.
With a Dou Huang expert secretly watching, Xiao Lei felt it was better to be cautious.
The Concealing Breath Technique was neither a technique nor a fighting skill; it could be considered a secret technique.
With extraordinary comprehension, Xiao Lei easily mastered the Concealing Breath Technique.
As long as he wanted, he could freely reveal his Dou Qi at any level between the first-star Dou Zhe realm and the second.
After completing the Concealing Breath Technique, Xiao Lei prepared to cultivate the Thunder Technique.
Suddenly, Xiao Lei thought of something and asked in his mind, "System, do you know my attributes?"
He had just broken through to the Dou Zhe realm and hadn't yet had his attributes checked.
[Ding! Host can view attribute panel!]
The system's emotionless voice rang out, followed by a phantom light screen.
[Host: Xiao Lei]
[Attribute: Thunder]
[Cultivation: One-Star Dou Zhe]
[Cultivation Technique: None]
[Dou Skill: Iron Mountain Fist (High-Level Yellow Rank)]
After checking the attribute panel, Xiao Lei was immediately relieved and took out the Thunder Technique to begin cultivating.
[You began cultivating the high-level Earth Rank Thunder Technique, and suddenly had an epiphany, perfectly mastering its essence, achieving perfect comprehension of the technique.]
"Not bad, heaven-defying comprehension is amazing! Next, I can consume the Thunder Fruit," Xiao Lei murmured to himself, immediately taking out the Thunder Fruit from the system space and putting it in his mouth.
The spiritual fruit melted instantly upon entering his mouth, and a surge of pure energy instantly flowed into Xiao Lei's body.
Without any hesitation, Xiao Lei immediately circulated the Thunder Technique, refining and absorbing the pure medicinal power.
As Xiao Lei refined and absorbed, the total amount of Dou Qi in his body continued to rise.
At the same time, his cultivation level also continued to soar!
Two-Star Dou Zhe!
Three-Star Dou Zhe!
...
Seven-Star Dou Zhe!
An hour later, the medicinal power of the Thunder Fruit was finally completely refined and absorbed.
"Hoo!"
After absorbing the medicinal power of the Thunder Fruit, Xiao Lei let out a long breath and stopped cultivating.
Seven-Star Dou Zhe!
The feeling of having a cheat code is just awesome!
Sensing the improvement in his own realm, Xiao Lei was very satisfied and wanted to burst out laughing!
However, he held back in the end!
Stay calm, don't be reckless!
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Lei calmed his mind and carefully sensed his own condition. There was no sign of his realm being unstable.
Sure enough, the system didn't lie to me!
After studying the system for a while, Xiao Lei went straight to bed to rest.
Nothing happened that night.
...
The morning sunlight streamed into the room through the window, illuminating the bed and casting a pale golden glow over the young man's eyes.
"It feels so good to wake up naturally,"
Xiao Lei yawned, slowly opening his eyes and muttering to himself as he dressed.
"Brother Xiao Lei, are you up?"
Just as Xiao Lei was dressed, Xun'er's melodious voice rang out from outside the door.
"Coming," Xiao Lei replied with a smile, opening the door.
At the doorway stood a beautiful girl in a light green dress, waiting quietly.
Xun'er stared at Xiao Lei and suddenly said, "I feel like Brother Xiao Lei seems a little different today?"
Is this a woman's sixth sense?
Xiao Lei thought to himself, but his face remained impassive. He teased, "Have I become more handsome again?"
"Brother Xiao Lei is so shameless," Xun'er said with a slight smile.
"I'm just telling the truth," Xiao Lei smiled and said, "Let's go, Miss Xun'er is in charge of my time today."
The two chatted and laughed as they headed out of the clan compound.
Along the way, they encountered some members of the Xiao clan, who looked at the two chatting and laughing intimately with envy.
The men envied Xiao Lei, and the women envied Xiao Xun'er.
Ignoring the expressions of these clan members, Xiao Lei led Xun'er directly out of the clan compound.
The two first went to a restaurant for breakfast, and then leisurely strolled along the bustling streets.
After leaving the clan compound, Xun'er became much more lively, pulling Xiao Lei along and constantly dashing between various stalls.
The girl's light, cheerful laughter brought a touch of coolness to the sun-baked streets.
The two wandered around, slowly entering the depths of the market.
Arriving at a clean stall, Xun'er suddenly stopped, extended her fair and delicate wrist, and tried on a light green bracelet.
"How much is this bracelet?" Xiao Lei asked the vendor, seeing that Xun'er seemed to like it.
"Three gold coins," the vendor replied with a smile.
"Not expensive," Xiao Lei smiled, subtly reaching into his robes to retrieve three gold coins from his system space, which he then handed to the vendor.
"Thank you," the vendor said, accepting the coins with a broad smile.
Xun'er was delighted that Xiao Lei had bought her the bracelet. "Thank you, Brother Xiao Lei."
Xiao Lei chuckled, "As long as you like it."
"Oh, isn't this Miss Xun'er? Hehe, I didn't expect to meet you here. What a coincidence!"
Just then, a clear laugh suddenly came from ahead.
As the voice faded, a crowd surged towards them.
In the crowd, a richly dressed young man was surrounded like a star around the moon.
The young man was around twenty years old, quite handsome, but his complexion was somewhat pale.
A pair of eyes, burning with fervor, were fixed on the graceful young woman standing not far away, their gaze filled with undisguised adoration.
This young man was none other than Jia Lie'ao, the young master of the Jia Lie family, one of the three great families of Wutan City.
Xun'er frowned slightly as Jia Lie'ao approached, but ignored him.
"Miss Xun'er, are you looking to buy something at the market? I happen to be free, how about we stroll around together?"
Jia Lie'ao seemed oblivious to Xun'er's displeasure, his smile bright and gentle.
Xun'er pursed her lips slightly, her voice flat and without a ripple, "No need, Young Master Jia Lie'ao, please don't disturb my shopping trip with Brother Xiao Lei, thank you!"
With that, Xun'er took Xiao Lei's hand and prepared to leave.
Seeing this, Jia Lie'ao stepped forward, blocking their path.
