Upon seeing the four large, glittering golden characters.
The scene at this moment was not as fervent as before; instead, it was silent, completely silent.
Because the four characters, "Nine-Star Dou Zhe," were simply too dazzling.
Those who were unaware of the Xiao Family's details were already astonished to see Xiao Yan rise from the Third Stage of Dou Zhi Qi to the Eighth Stage of Dou Qi in just one short year.
But the current Xiao Yi was terrifying, almost inhuman!
From the First Stage of Dou Qi to the current Nine-Star Dou Zhe—in a small place like Wutan City, would anyone believe it if it were spoken aloud?
The members of the Xiao Family were equally shocked; hadn't Xiao Yi just been a Three-Star Dou Zhe during the test a month and a half ago.
In such a short time, he had reached Nine-Star Dou Zhe?
The next second, a figure flashed by, and the Grand Elder instantly appeared on the high platform.
With a solemn expression, he wanted to check if there was a problem with the testing stele.
Because the Grand Elder could not believe that Xiao Yi could achieve a Breakthrough to Nine-Star Dou Zhe in such a short period; no matter how high his talent was, upgrading from Three-Star Dou Zhe to Nine-Star Dou Zhe should take several years!
Seeing this scene, Xiao Zhan's expression turned solemn, and the next second, he also arrived on the high platform.
He stared severely at the Grand Elder: "Grand Elder!"
"Today, all the influential people of Wutan City are present. If you actually inspect this testing stele, wouldn't you be publicly doubting our own junior, which would disgrace my Xiao Family!"
"If you insist on doing this, I think the position of Grand Elder should be replaced!"
As soon as Xiao Zhan said this, the flabby flesh on the Grand Elder's face involuntarily twitched.
Conversely, a slight smile quickly flashed across the face of the Second Elder beside him.
Seeing Xiao Zhan's extremely serious expression, he realized Xiao Zhan was not joking.
Although the Grand Elder still did not believe it in his heart, he had no choice but to give up!
Immediately afterward, to ease the tension on the high platform, Xiao Zhan quickly changed his expression and spoke loudly:
"Friends, please forgive us!"
"It has been a long time since such a talented junior appeared in my Xiao Family, and we Elders are inevitably a bit too excited. We hope everyone can understand..."
After Xiao Zhan finished speaking, he glanced at the Grand Elder, signaling him to quickly step down and stop making a spectacle of himself here!
Xiao Yi was not surprised by the Grand Elder's reaction.
After all, his leveling speed was indeed frighteningly fast, making it difficult for people to believe.
"Elder, the test is over. May I step down now..."
As Xiao Yi withdrew his Dou Zhi Qi, the four golden characters on the testing stele slowly disappeared.
Only then did the Second Elder snap back to reality, nodding hurriedly.
"Of course, of course..."
Xiao Yi stepped down, but everyone's gaze remained fixed on him, unable to recover their senses for a long time.
After all, everyone knew what a Nine-Star Dou Zhe of such a young age signified.
However, Xiao Xuan's heavy voice suddenly echoed in Xiao Yi's heart.
"Is Nine-Star Dou Zhe already considered so great..."
"The Xiao Clan has truly declined..."
Hearing this, Xiao Yi did not speak, but an awkward smile surfaced on his face.
After Xiao Zhan returned to the main seat, he slowly rose as well:
"Everyone! The re-testing ceremony has concluded!"
"According to the rules, the most outstanding person, Xiao Yi, will accept one challenge!"
"If any of you believe Xiao Yi's strength is false, you may step onto the stage and challenge him!"
Xiao Zhan's voice rang out, finally drawing everyone's attention back.
As soon as he spoke, there was a slight commotion among the younger generation of the Xiao Family, but no one dared to step forward.
After all, that was a Nine-Star Dou Zhe!
"Sister! It's absolutely impossible for this brat Xiao Yi to upgrade to Nine-Star Dou Zhe in such a short time. I bet he's faking it!"
"Why don't you go challenge him again?"
Xiao Yu glared fiercely at Xiao Ning.
"You stinking brat, what nonsense are you spouting! Do you think I wasn't embarrassed enough last time? You want me to embarrass myself again?"
Xiao Yu was extremely annoyed; if Xiao Ning wasn't her own younger brother, she would have loved to break his other leg too!
She had never seen a brother who was such a burden to his sister!
Seeing that no one present had the courage.
Xiao Li smiled slightly, leaped up, and landed on the high platform.
"I'll do it!"
Seeing Xiao Li step onto the stage, a strange look flashed in Xiao Zhan's eyes: "Li'er, don't mess around!"
"Today's Coming-of-Age Ceremony is for the juniors! Why are you, at your age, joining the fun!"
Before Xiao Zhan could finish speaking, Xiao Yi also stepped onto the stage:
"Uncle, it's fine..."
"It's actually good that Brother Li is willing to test me out!"
Hearing this, Xiao Zhan still wanted to say something, but seeing Xiao Yi's extremely confident appearance, he merely nodded in silent approval.
Xiao Li looked at Xiao Yi and said softly: "Xiao Yizi, then let me see what your Nine-Star Dou Zhe, achieved over this past year, is like!"
Xiao Yi: "Brother Li, go easy on me. There is a difference of one Realm between us..."
Hearing this, Xiao Li nodded: "Then, if you can withstand ten moves from me today, you win!"
As Xiao Li finished speaking, the Dou Zhi Qi around his body instantly surged.
Streams of blue lightning Dou Zhi Qi instantly erupted, and the pressure of a Two-Star Dou Master enveloped the entire arena like a giant net.
"Brother Li, what dense lightning-attributed Dou Zhi Qi..."
"As expected of a Dou Master level expert, this Dou Zhi Qi is truly strong!"
Seeing this, Xiao Yi couldn't help but praise him.
Xiao Li merely smiled slightly.
The next second, Xiao Li's figure transformed into streaks of lightning afterimages, rapidly charging toward Xiao Yi.
"Such speed!"
Seeing this, Xiao Yi did not dare to be careless and activated the aura around his body.
A flash of light appeared in his hand, and the dragon abyss formation breaking spear materialized right there.
"Boom!"
Xiao Yi's reaction speed was extremely fast; he held the long spear behind him, forcibly blocking Xiao Li's rapidly approaching punch.
"Not bad, that reaction speed is quite fast!"
With the attack blocked, Xiao Li was not anxious, and even offered a compliment.
"But the gap between a Dou Master and a Dou Practitioner is a chasm!"
After Xiao Li finished speaking, he once again transformed into streaks of lightning, rapidly circulating around Xiao Yi.
Such speed made it impossible for Xiao Yi to accurately pinpoint Xiao Li's location for a moment.
The next second, Xiao Yi circulated the Dou Zhi Qi throughout his body, and the Heart Fire within him burned even more intensely.
A faint flame mark vaguely appeared on his forehead.
"Found him!"
Relying on Soul Power far exceeding that of his peers, Xiao Yi finally managed to clearly see Xiao Li's movements.
Red Dou Zhi Qi spread along the shaft of the dragon abyss formation breaking spear, continuously gathering at the tip.
In an instant, the long spear in Xiao Yi's hand had already thrust out!
"Good kid, you can actually keep up with my speed!"
However, a hint of approval flashed in Xiao Li's eyes. He neither dodged nor avoided, pushing his left palm, wrapped in boundless Dou Zhi Qi, straight out.
It collided with the long spear thrust out by Xiao Yi.
"Bang!"
A muffled sound rang out, and Xiao Li actually took two steps back.
"Not bad, not bad. The Dou Zhi Qi of a Nine-Star Dou Zhe can actually reach this level!"
"Too bad, your second brother here is a Dou Master!"
Xiao Li smiled slightly, and the Dou Zhi Qi inside him began to be released externally, forming streams of Qi Blades around his body.
This was the extra ability a Dou Master possessed compared to a Dou Practitioner.
"The difference in Realm cannot be compensated for by powerful Dou Zhi Qi alone..."
