Chapter 116: Sixth Stage of Battle Qi?
Seeing this, Xiao Mei sensibly stepped forward.
After listening to Yao Chen and Xun'er's conversation, Xiao Mei didn't understand why Yao Chen was targeting Xiao Yan. But... as Yao Chen's woman, she unconditionally supported him.
As long as it makes her stronger, Yao Chen is her god, and she herself... is Yao Chen's eternal "disciple". Seeing Xiao Mei obediently come over, Yao Chen wrapped his arms around her slender waist.
He then had him sit on his lap, "Take a good look at Yan's famous scenes..."
After saying that, he didn't explain what he meant... Xiao Mei, being sensible, didn't ask any further questions.
Instead, he and Yao Chen looked at Xiao Yan's cousin in the crowd.
However... Xiao Mei would occasionally let out a very soft moan... but no one noticed.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Xiao Yan, this show-off. "I didn't expect him to actually dare to come."
"Pfft, pfft, pfft, if I were him, I wouldn't even dare to come."
"What do you know? With Goddess Cane and Goddess Xiao Mei there, he's definitely just showing off." "Hahaha!"
The crowd made no attempt to hide their mockery of Xiao Yan and the others who were passing by, looking at their ugly faces.
He was furious, his fists clenched tightly. However, he still retained his rationality and didn't act rashly.
Even the old man who was in charge of the test turned a blind eye to Xiao Yan's situation... and did not speak up to stop the crowd from destroying the test site and mocking him.
"Enough! Do you all want to be punished with a month of quiet testing?"
Just as Xiao Yan was feeling annoyed and helpless, Xiao Zhan, who was in the VIP section, couldn't sit still any longer. With a loud shout, carrying the pressure of Dou Qi, he silenced the noisy crowd.
Hearing that their own interests were at stake, the disciples dared not speak out of turn and could only murmur among themselves.
In response, Xiao Zhan turned his gaze to the old man on the stage. "Let's begin the test."
As he spoke, he deliberately glared at the other person. The meaning was self-evident.
The old man, caught in the glare, immediately panicked.
As a member of the Xiao family, although he had no real connection with Xiao Yan, someone had given him money and accepted it. Naturally, he had to do their bidding. Otherwise, anyone else would have stopped the farce that had just transpired.
After all, the VIP seats weren't just for the Xiao family; there were also three other major powers.
After Xiao Zhan finished speaking, he bowed respectfully to Ya Fei, clasping his hands in a fist salute. "I'm sorry, Miss Ya Fei, for making a fool of yourself."
"I hope Miss Yafei won't spread this matter... After all, it's a family scandal for the Xiao family... Haha." As he spoke, Xiao Zhan didn't hesitate to laugh, trying to hide his embarrassment.
As for Jia Liebi and Aubapa standing to the side... Xiao Zhan didn't want to pay any attention to the two of them.
So I lost the appetite to even bother with them.
Hearing Xiao Zhan say this, Ya Fei covered her mouth and chuckled.
"I think that young master Xiao Yan is very popular..." Ya Fei didn't mention a word about whether she would tell anyone.
after all
Of all the rumors circulating, those from the Mittel Auction House were the most numerous, claiming that Xiao Yan had been reduced to a useless person.
Moreover, they were all done intentionally, all at the behest of Yao Chen.
Unlike the slow pace of the original novel, even the Yunlan Sect of the Jia Ma Empire is now rumored to be aware of Xiao Yan.
However, this version of the rumor differs from the version in Utan City and other places.
All of these versions portray Xiao Yan as a good-for-nothing and Guan Cai as having a marriage agreement with Senior Sister Nalan.
Therefore, Nalan Yanran had already fallen out with her grandfather Nalan and father Nalan Su. But that's a story for another time...
At this moment, Xiao Yan was facing... all sorts of disdainful and contemptuous looks from the people around him as he stepped onto the testing platform.
His fists were clenched tightly. The humiliation he had suffered today stirred up a storm within him.
Yao Chen was also overjoyed. Seeing Xiao Yan's unpleasant expression, he couldn't help but hug Xiao Mei with immense delight. After all... from Yao Chen's perspective, Xiao Yan's arrogance was steadily declining.
..
[Remaining Flame Pride Value: 34%...33%...30%...25%]
It only stopped falling when it dropped to 25%. But Yao Chen was still very excited.
The way others looked at him was enough to make Xiao Yan react like this; Yao Chen couldn't even imagine it. The challenge on the broadcasting platform later...
Xiao Mei, nestled in Yao Chen's arms, looked at him with puzzlement at his excitement.
Xiao Mei, with her beautiful eyes fixed on Yao Chen's upturned lips, glanced at Xiao Yan on the stage, who was preparing for the test. She couldn't help but whisper to herself.
My husband is such a bad guy... he seems to really enjoy seeing my cousin Xiao Yan make a fool of himself. Could it be that there's some kind of grudge between them?
Forget it, who cares about any grudges? Supporting my husband is the right thing to do. Thinking this, Xiao Mei moved even closer to Yao Chen's chest.
What benefits could Xiao Yan possibly offer her? Even before his talent declined, he hadn't treated her well. Following him... not only did she receive no benefits, but she was also disliked by him. Yao Chen... not only brought her unparalleled joy, but also significantly improved her cultivation level.
Both her mental and physical abilities have seen significant improvements. If she didn't support Yao Chen, wouldn't she be a fool? Humans are selfish... Xiao Mei is no exception.
Sensing the unusual behavior of the girl in his arms, Yao Chen glanced at her briefly before turning his attention back to Xiao Yan on the stage.
At this moment, Xiao Yan also placed his hand on the testing stone... The next second...
The originally jet-black testing stone lit up as if it were sensing something. ... Sixth level of Dou Qi
Looking at the sixth level of Dou Qi on the testing stone, Xiao Yan was somewhat surprised. His gaze was blank for a moment, and then he was overjoyed.
No one expected that Xiao Yan would actually possess a sixth level of Dou Qi.
Chapter 117 Slave Seal
Before the debate could even begin...
The test stone suddenly lit up again.
Then, to everyone's astonishment...
His fighting spirit progressed from level six to level five, and then to level four.
He had been secretly pleased to see Xiao Yan, but noticing the strange looks from those around him, he looked up again. It didn't matter.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the heart had stopped.
Xiao Yan also watched as his Dou Qi level continued to decline.
"No. No, don't drop it, no, how could this... how could this happen, stop it, you bastard! You're going to kill me!"
Seeing his Dou Qi level continue to drop as if it were free, Xiao Yan anxiously pounded on the testing stone. However, all his efforts were in vain.
As expected, his battle aura remained at the third level.
Looking at the number on the testing stone, Xiao Yan knelt helplessly in front of the testing stone tablet.
He lowered his head, his eyes bloodshot, and muttered to himself, "How could this happen? How could this be?"
"Could it be that I have really lost my talent and become nothing more than a nobody?"
Before Xiao Yan could continue muttering, the old man on the stage quickly announced Xiao Yan's final result.
"Xiao Yan... Dou Qi... Level 3, low-level." Upon hearing this, it was as if some kind of spiritual trigger was activated in Xiao Yan. He immediately stood up and rushed towards the old man.
"You're talking nonsense, you're talking nonsense! I'm clearly at the sixth level of Dou Qi, aren't you? Aren't you playing tricks on me? Isn't it you?"
He grabbed the old man by the collar and started hitting him relentlessly. This scene startled the old man.
The sudden turn of events stunned the Xiao family disciples in the audience, including Xiao Zhan and his entourage in the VIP section.
Realizing what was happening, the old man, a five-star Dou Zhe, slapped Xiao Yan away. "What nonsense are you spouting? I didn't even get close to the stone tablet, yet you're accusing me!" he said, straightening his clothes before looking at Xiao Yan.
"If you've already started cultivating but haven't put in the effort, who can you blame? Over the years... have you been diligent in your cultivation? Have you been hardworking? You're blaming me for your own shortcomings."
"The test stone has always been like this... How could I possibly wrong you?"
"Shut up...die!" The old man's barrage of questions drove Xiao Yan to the brink of madness. His anger surged, and he prepared to pounce on the old man again.
But the next second... "Enough, Yan'er!"
Xiao Zhan leaped down and quickly arrived in front of Xiao Yan, grabbing his arm. "Don't be silly, Yan'er, it's just a test..."
After saying that, Xiao Yan's eyes turned bloodshot, his anger undiminished... like a wild beast without reason.
Seeing this, and not wanting Xiao Yan to lose face or suffer a qi deviation, Xiao Zhan also struck at Xiao Yan's neck. The next moment... Xiao Yan collapsed into Xiao Zhan's arms.
Looking at Xiao Yan, who had been knocked unconscious in his arms, Xiao Zhan waved his hand. "The test continues. I have other important matters to attend to, so I won't keep you company any longer." He then left without giving anyone a chance to speak.
A surge of fighting spirit erupted from Xiao Zhan's feet... He grabbed Xiao Yan and leaped towards his house.
Everything happened so fast that many Xiao family disciples began to whisper among themselves. Everyone knew Xiao Zhan was biased, but no one expected him to be this biased. They knew the next challenge was coming up, but... the clan leader took them away.
In the VIP section, the veterans exchanged glances and then burst into laughter.
With Xiao Zhan gone, the fun was over, and everyone had already seen what they wanted to see... Jia Liebi and Aubaba also said their goodbyes at the same time, though they couldn't hide the smiles on their faces.
Below the stage, Yao Chen, as he left Du Xiao Zhan and his son, also revealed a set of white teeth.
However, these white teeth were eerily transparent. "I never expected this. I really never expected this."
"The task was completed so easily, it saved me a lot of trouble in making arrangements..."
[Task: Suppress Xiao Yan's last vestiges of arrogance.] (Completed) [Remaining Xiao Yan arrogance value: 0.]
[Task Rewards: +2 points for blond hair, one slave mark.]
Upon opening the panel, Yao Chen was overjoyed. He had thought it would require some effort, but...
Xiao Yan lacks resilience and is still too inexperienced. He simply couldn't accept the outcome, so he went berserk and went insane.
"System, is this one-time slave seal... just as I expected?" Yao Chen, having regained his composure, began inquiring about the system rewards. [Ding! Displaying the one-time slave seal description for the host.]
[Description: Can be used on any species, not limited to humans. After use, the target will become the host's slave and will unconditionally obey.]
Life host. "
(Note: This item cannot be used on important figures. It is for single use only. Please use with caution...) After reading the description, Yao Chen's mood fluctuated wildly...
Yao Chen had already planned it all out. He was going to use it on Xiao Yan... but after reading the note, his mood instantly soured.
"Damn it, I really want to slap you. You made me get all worked up for nothing."
Yao Chen also intended to treat Xiao Yan, his disciple, inhumanely after using his powers against him.
Having seen that it wouldn't work on important figures, Yao Chen knew... it would absolutely not work on Xiao Yan. There was no need to even think about it.
After venting his frustration, Yao Chen exited the system panel.
Well, at least I have two more yellow hairs and an important item now, not bad... better than nothing.
After comforting himself, Yao Chen looked at Xiao Mei in his arms.
Chapter 118 Nalan Yanran
Just then, his gaze met Xiao Mei's. "Husband, what were you muttering about just now? Is there some secret you're keeping?"
Xiao Mei said it out loud, though she was a little hesitant.
After all, Yao Chen had been muttering to himself the whole time.
He was swearing one minute and sighing the next; he was very strange.
Xiao Mei asked out of curiosity, thinking that Yao Chen might be hiding something from her. Xiao Mei didn't want anything to happen to Yao Chen, otherwise her cultivation talent would regress... Without the nourishment of Yao Chen's golden liquid, her cultivation would stagnate.
Xiao Mei knew her own talent, which was why she didn't want anything to happen to Yao Chen.
Upon hearing Xiao Mei's question, Yao Chen simply chuckled.
He then shook his head and slapped his hamster.
"Ouch..." The slap startled Xiao Mei, who quickly covered her lips, realizing the situation was inappropriate. Seeing this, Yao Chen simply smiled.
"Let's go. Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. Knowing too much... won't do you any good."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Mei could only nod... and then, Xiao Yan, the protagonist, exited the stage.
The Xiao family disciples, one by one, left or scattered... The next day
