"Dou Emperor, Nine Stars!"
Looking at the four shining and dazzling words on the cultivation testing magic stone tablet, the young man was expressionless, though those with a keener eye could notice that his lips had curled up ever so slightly.
"Young Master Xiao Yan, Dou Emperor, Nine Stars!" Next to the cultivation testing magic stone tablet, stood a middle-aged man. As soon as he saw the information displayed on the tablet he quickly announced it with a flattering tone.
As soon as the middle-aged man's words came out, waves of flattery arose in the crowded square.
"Truly worthy of our Young Master Xiao Yan; he is a rare genius that comes by only once in a hundred years in our Xiao clan!"
"Yes, yes, when Young Master Xiao Yan grows up, our lineage may also become one of the Royal Bloodlines of the Xiao clan."
"Young Master Xiao Yan is not only gifted in cultivation but also very good in other aspects," someone couldn't help but exclaim loudly.
A fifteen-year-old nine-star Dou Emperor, if nothing unexpected happens, is very likely to possess the legendary divine bloodline!
Flattering words kept coming from all directions. The young man raised his fair, white face that currently held a smile.
"Master, the young master's talent is truly astonishing." On a high platform, several family elders and the family head, Xiao Zhan, were staring at the young man.
The boy was not even fifteen years old, but he was already like a young dragon ready to soar, as if he would rush to the sky at any moment.
Among the young generation of the Dou Qi Continent, its likely only the pearl of the Gu clan has a chance to compare to him.
"Hahaha, my son Xiao Yan has the makings of a Dou Sovereign!"
Xiao Zhan grinned when he heard the praise from the family elders, his grin was almost reaching the back of his ears.
Several of the family elders' lips couldn't help but twitch when they heard Xiao Zhan's words. How was this guy taking their little praise and magnifying it that much?
But they had to admit that Xiao Yan is indeed an extremely rare genius in the clan. If he didn't engage in those sneaky things, he would be even more perfect than he is right now!
"Next, Xiao Mei!"
Hearing the call, a girl ran out of the crowd quickly.
The girl was only about fourteen years old. Although she was not stunningly beautiful, her face was pure and charming.
This made her quite attractive to the male teens in the crowd.
The girl walked forward quickly, touching the dark magic stone tablet with her little hand, and then slowly closed her eyes...
"Xiao Mei, Dou Spirit: One Star!"
"Wow, this little girl Xiao Mei actually broke through to Dou Spirit!"
"Yes, although this talent is not as good as Xiao Yan's, it is still impressive. There is hope she could become a Dou Venerate in the future!"
Listening to the discussions of the people around her, Xiao Mei showed a trace of pride on her face, but when she looked at the black-clothed boy staring at her, she instantly transformed her pride into obedience.
She quickly trotted her way to Xiao Yan and hugged his arm.
She said in a tender voice, "Brother Xiao Yan, how can you improve so fast? Last year, you were a two-star Dou Emperor, but this year you've become a nine-star Dou Emperor! Brother is so amazing, I admire you so much!"
"Haah, your little acts of flattery are improving." Xiao Yan silently felt the girl's newly developed body against him and pretended to wave his hand helplessly.
"And besides, Its not like I want to advance so fast! But no matter what I do, even drinking a mouthful of water increases my Dou Qi. I want to slow down, but there's nothing I can do!"
"Oh, you're so annoying." If people heard what Xiao Yan said, countless geniuses would be pissed off, Xiao Mei being one of these geniuses was also annoyed, she waved her little fist and hit Xiao Yan's arm. Xiao Yan smiled slightly and did not admonish her.
Even if he knows she has other intentions, so what?
As long as he has the strength, who cares about all this thing that would not matter.
Whilst the two were joking, a group exuding powerful auras suddenly passed through the sky, causing the people in the originally lively square to raise their heads slightly.
"It's the people of the Gu clan!" Those with a keen eye were able to identify the characteristics of the Gu clan from the clothes the group were wearing.
"Oh my god, why are there so many strong people from the Gu clan here?"
Everyone whispered amongst themselves. Among the seven Ancient clans, the Gu clan was the largest and strongest clan after the Xiao Clan, its Patriarch also had a good relationship with their Clan Ancestor. Therefore, the relationship between the Xiao Clan and the Gu clan was pretty good.
"Look at that girl, she's so young but she has already transformed her dou qi into wings!" someone suddenly exclaimed.
In the sky, beside a middle-aged man who had majestic appearance, an elegant looking girl in a purple dress was flying with her dou qi wings.
The girl's cold and indifferent temperament was like a blooming lotus. Despite her young age, she already had a refined temperament. It was hard to imagine how stunning she would be when she grew up...
From her face, she must be no more than fifteen years old.
Among the seven Ancient clans, there were countless experts who could transform their dou qi into wings, but those who could do it at this age were considered geniuses even among the ancient clans.
If she was a Dou King, it would be fine, but if she was a Dou Emperor... Some people couldn't help but turn their eyes to the boy who was also staring at the sky.
"Could she be Xun'er?" Xiao Yan silently looked at the girl in the sky whose age alone could amaze countless people let alone her appearance.
If this was like the novel he had read, she would have been his childhood sweetheart.
It has been fifteen years since he came to this world. Xiao Yan found that this is indeed the world in "Battle Through the Heavens".
But the world's plot and timeline seems to be incredibly different from what he had read.
Fifteen years ago, he was just an ordinary person on Earth. He was over thirty, unmarried with very little success in his career.
When he was slacking off in the office and using company time to revisit his favorite novel called "Battle Through the Heavens" which he had read in his teenage years, an accident that even now he couldn't understand or explain suddenly occurred. When he came to he realised he had appeared in this world!
He had crossed over to the "Battle Through the Heavens" world, but after doing some light digging the timeline was completely different from what he imagined!
In this world, Xiao Xuan, the Patriarch of the Xiao clan, not only did not die in battle but he instead broke through and became a Dou Sovereign expert!
This world had changed from that point on.
The ambitious and strategic Hun Tiandi was slapped to death by Xiao Xuan.
The Hun Clan which had always been hostile to the Xiao clan, was also destroyed, leaving only some weak Veines which weren't in the Hun Realm that escaped by chance.
The Xiao clan has since become the most powerful force in the Dou Qi Continent.
And Xiao Yan naturally did not have the fate that he should have had in the original book.
As soon as he was born, he was already standing at the end that countless people dreamed of reaching.
His grandfather Xiao Lin did not die in battle but became a top Rank Dou Saint-level warrior. His father Xiao Zhan was a little worse, but he was also a Dou Venerate and now serves as a Deputy commander in the Sky Feather Army.
His mother was not dead either, instead, she was the daughter of an elder of the Yao Clan and is currently a top-level seventh-grade alchemist.
Although his eldest brother Xiao Ding and second brother Xiao Li were a little less talented than him, they have both entered the Dou Ancestor realm after years of accumulation.
From the moment he was born, Xiao Yan's starting point had already surpassed the endpoint of most people in this world.
In the dead of night, Xiao Yan often wondered whether he had obtained the fate of the protagonist or suddenly become the antagonist considering his position and status.
Since he was born, his life can be summarised in one phrase: "Smooth, smooth as fuck."
A life without a single setback is not a life that a protagonist has!
The Gu clan's members flashed across the sky, ignoring the Xiao clan members on the ground. Their goal should be the core area of the Xiao clan.
"I wonder if I will have any encounters with the daughter of the Gu clan in this world." Xiao Yan stared at the figures disappearing in the sky.
"Brother Yan, Brother Yan!" The voices of a group of teenagers pulled Xiao Yan back to reality from his thousands of thoughts.
A tall teenager came running over, breathing heavily.
He looked a little panicked and shouted, "Brother Yan, it's bad, my sister is about to get into a fight with someone!"
