"Dou Zhi Qi, three segments!"
"Low-grade!"
Looking at the information displayed on the testing stele, Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly.
After all, in the past three years, Xiao Yan had long grown accustomed to this feeling.
The surrounding crowd all cast strange glances at him.
They also discussed animatedly.
"Still three segments of Dou Zhi Qi? This so-called 'Genius' is indeed a Genius in some aspects..."
"This good-for-nothing is truly shaming our Xiao Family..."
...Xiao Yan slowly walked off the testing platform amidst such mockery, his entire being like a walking corpse, completely devoid of spirit.
"Next, Xiao Yi!"
The middle-aged man in charge of the test on the platform shouted loudly.
A handsome young man slowly walked out from the crowd.
He seemed to be around the same age as Xiao Yan.
As the young man stepped onto the testing platform, everyone's gaze instantly locked onto the young man named Xiao Yi.
"I wonder what level Xiao Yi has reached now..."
"He absolutely cannot be like that good-for-nothing Xiao Yan! Our Xiao Family originally had two Supreme, but now one is waste (waste- waste, useless). He is our last remaining hope..."
...Xiao Yi on the testing platform took a deep breath, slowly raising his head to look at the massive Dou Zhi Qi testing stele in front of him.
The middle-aged man beside him, however, had an indifferent expression and urged him, saying,
"Just touch the stele with your hand, quickly!"
"Don't delay the people behind..."
Xiao Yi turned his head and gave the middle-aged man a dismissive look, then unhurriedly raised his hand to gently touch the stele.
The next second!
The stele instantly reacted.
"Xiao Yi: Dou Zhi Qi, one segment! Grade: Low-grade!"
As these words came out,
The scene instantly erupted in an uproar.
The extremely quiet square immediately became lively.
"One segment? You're kidding me! Even lower than Xiao Yan?"
"Still two Supreme, I think it's two good-for-nothings! If these two weren't related to the Clan Chief, I think they would have been expelled from the Xiao Family long ago!"
...And Xiao Yan, seeing this message from the viewing platform, a smile appeared on his originally expressionless face.
"Brother Yi, I didn't expect you to be even worse than me..."
But then Xiao Yan still sighed, what was the difference between three segments of Dou Zhi Qi and one segment of Dou Zhi Qi?
He and Xiao Yi were merely unfortunate souls in the same boat...However, Xiao Yi on the testing platform looked at the information displayed on the stele.
He just turned his head and smiled slightly in Xiao Yan's direction, not showing any disappointment.
Because Xiao Yi did not belong to this world.
In his previous life, he stayed up late reading [Battle Through the Heavens], felt unwell, and had an unexpected accident.
When he woke up again, he had Transmigrated to this colorful Fighting Qi Continent.
And most importantly, Xiao Yi Transmigrated to become Xiao Yan's cousin.
The two had Cultivated together since childhood, and their relationship was very good.
Furthermore, since Xiao Yi's Transmigration, his talent performance had also been quite good.
Like Xiao Yan, he started Cultivating Qi at four, reached nine segments of Dou Zhi Qi at ten, and condensed a Dou Zhi Qi Vortex at eleven.
At that time, in everyone's eyes, two Geniuses, rarely seen in a hundred years, had appeared in the Xiao Family at once.
Just when Xiao Yi thought he could continue Cultivating smoothly, he, like Xiao Yan, lost all his Dou Zhi Qi overnight.
Compared to Xiao Yan, Xiao Yi was even more miserable.
Xiao Yan at least still had three segments of Dou Zhi Qi, while Xiao Yi now only had a pitiful one segment of Dou Zhi Qi.
"One segment!? I'm not mistaken, am I! This good-for-nothing Xiao Yi is even worse than Xiao Yan!"
"Such a good-for-nothing is not worthy of staying in the Xiao Family! He should be expelled from Wutan City and left to fend for himself!"
"That year, I thought our Xiao Family had produced two peerless Geniuses, but now, our Xiao Family has produced two Heaven-Defying good-for-nothings..."
As soon as Xiao Yi's test results were announced, the surrounding crowd immediately burst into even louder mockery than before.
However, Xiao Yi paid no attention to this.
Because as a Transmigrator, Xiao Yi knew very well that as long as he clung to Xiao Yan's coattails,
He would be able to advance to Dou Sheng even by lying down, and with a little help from Xiao Yan, becoming a Dou Di was entirely possible.
After all, Xiao Yan was not that God King Tang next door; he was exceptionally good to his brothers.
Moreover, Xiao Yi and Xiao Yan now shared a Bloodline connection.
They were also childhood playmates, with such a relationship.
Even if Xiao Yi did nothing now, he only needed to lie flat and ensure his survival.
Then, the truly good days would come decades later.
"Get down..."
The middle-aged man in charge of the test coldly snorted, urging Xiao Yi to get off the stage quickly.
After Xiao Yi got off the stage, he came to Xiao Yan's side.
A smile hung on his lips:
"Xiao Yan, it seems you and I are truly fellow sufferers..."
Hearing Xiao Yi say this, Xiao Yan also gave a helpless, awkward smile:
"Brother Yi, why do you think our Dou Zhi Qi disappeared?"
"And your Dou Zhi Qi disappearance is even more severe than mine; I at least still have three segments, while you only have one left now..."
Before Xiao Yan could finish speaking, Xiao Yi waved his hand, interrupting him:
"What's there to it? Just because Dou Zhi Qi has disappeared now doesn't mean you and I can only remain like this forever?"
"One must always have hope for life, who knows, maybe one day all the disappeared Dou Zhi Qi will return?"
Hearing Xiao Yi's words, Xiao Yan could only give a wry smile.
For some reason, from Xiao Yan's perspective, his cousin's mindset had always been so good.
It seemed the disappearance of Dou Zhi Qi did not affect him at all.
But Xiao Yan also knew one thing in his heart: ever since his Dou Zhi Qi started having problems,
It had always been Xiao Yi constantly encouraging and comforting him; if not for Xiao Yi, Xiao Yan wouldn't be sure if he could have endured those hard times.
Although he was still in hard times now.
"Let's go, we've both finished testing, let's relax at our old spot..."
Xiao Yi slowly stood up, patted Xiao Yan's shoulder, and said softly.
Xiao Yan slowly stood up, turning his head slightly to look at a beautiful Girl in the crowd.
"Don't worry, do you really need to worry about that Girl Xun'er's strength?"
"No need to think, she will also be the focus today..."
With just a glance, Xiao Yi guessed what Xiao Yan was thinking, then spoke indifferently.
Xiao Yan also nodded: "Indeed, that Girl is truly the Family's Genius now..."
"Brother Yi, let's go then..."
Xiao Yan murmured softly.
Then he and Xiao Yi left this sad place together.
The 'old spot' they spoke of was the back mountain of the Xiao Family.
The two of them had Cultivated and played there together since childhood.
At that time, the two could be said to be carefree and invincible.
But now everything had changed; both of them had become the 'fallen Geniuses' in other people's mouths...Two Supreme in one Family, with such an outcome now, no one could understand it.
Only Xiao Yi knew it clearly.
Xiao Yi and his companion sat slumped on a cliff edge in the back mountain, gazing into the distance.
