Chapter 3: Visitors from the Ancient Clan I chatted with Xiao Zhan and the others in the yard for a long time, listening to a lot of their previous experiences in the world. It was not until it got dark that I left seeing the four people off, Xiao Yun returned to his room. He had gained a lot this afternoon. In addition to 100,000 gold coins, he also obtained a yellow-grade high-level fire-attribute technique, as well as several other yellow-grade fighting skills. This saved Xiao Yun from having to make another trip to the fighting skills hall. After breaking through to the level of a fighter, everyone has the qualifications to practice the exercises. After practicing the exercises, the attributeless milky white fighting spirit in the body will be transformed into fighting spirit with the attributes of the exercises. The first transformation of Dou Qi does not take too long. After only two hours of practice, Xiao Yun has transformed all of his Dou Qi. By this time the sky had become completely dark, but Xiao Yun could still see everything in the house clearly. There was no doubt that this was the enhanced senses brought about by practicing the Dou Qi technique. He stretched out his palm and saw a faint fluorescent light emanating from the palm, the color was dark yellow, which was the sign of successful cultivation. What a pity, there is no chance to practice the magical Burning Technique. Is this Medicine Master really asleep? I have such a great talent, but he didn't accept me as his apprentice! Xiao Yun was very envious of the Burning Decree, a martial art that could evolve. Unfortunately, Yao Lao was betrayed by Han Feng, who was like his own son, and he no longer trusted anyone easily. Even Xiao Yan, the destined protagonist, had his Dou Qi sucked away by him for three years and he observed him for a long time before he granted him the Burning Decree. Even Han Feng only had half of the Burning Decree. "I have finally become a real fighter, but my fighting spirit technique is a bit low-level. With my current fighting spirit, I will be defeated if I encounter a fighter who practices Xuan-level techniques or above." Thinking of this, Xiao Yun closed his eyes and began to practice to solidify his own fighting spirit. ……
The next day, Xiao Yun got up early and went to the canteen opened by the Xiao family for orphans to have breakfast. Originally, based on Xiao Yun's performance yesterday, Xiao Zhan and others were planning to provide him with a butler and maid to solve his living problems, but Xiao Yun rejected their kindness on the grounds that he was used to living alone. When Xiao Yun arrived at the cafeteria and just found a seat to eat breakfast, he heard people around him chattering about news they had heard from somewhere. "Hey, have you heard? There are distinguished guests in the family today. The clan leader just greeted them at the gate in person." "What! The clan leader is a great fighter. The one who can be welcomed by him personally must also be a great fighter, right?" "Yes, I just saw the clan leader and a strange middle-aged man heading to the hall. The man had an extraordinary aura and must be a strong man. There was also a five or six-year-old girl beside him." Listening to the conversation between several people, Xiao Yun understood that Gu Yuan had brought his precious daughter to the Xiao family. However, no one in the Xiao family knew that Gu Yuan was not a great fighting master, but a top fighting saint! Gu Xun'er is the heroine in the previous life's Doupo, a top-notch white, rich and beautiful woman. It would be a lie for Xiao Yun to say that he doesn't like her. As the eldest daughter of the Gu clan, she enjoys having free time and is loyal to the people she loves. It is good, but Xiao Yun said that people who have this idea are very cruel and can be tortured. Don't get the wrong idea! Xiao Yun is not a copper smelting master, normal people wouldn't do this! After finishing breakfast, Xiao Yun prepared to go to his own secret base in the back mountain to practice. Halfway there, he ran into Xiao Yan who was taking Gu Xun'er to visit the Xiao family. Xiao Yan had a helpless look on his face, and beside him was a girl with a cold face and skin as white as a doll. Originally, Xiao Yan was reluctant to bring this so-called cousin to visit the Xiao family. A job like this that did not require any technical skills could be handed over to the servants. She actually asked him, the number one in the Xiao family, to do it in the next two days, and that cheap father even told him to be obedient to her and not offend her. Isn’t he just a little brat? Having been the young master of the Xiao family for several years, Xiao Yan had developed some of the pampered tendencies of an older young master and wanted to quit. However, when he thought of the serious attitude Xiao Zhan had shown him when he had given him instructions, Xiao Yan decided to put up with her for the time being. "Brother Xiao Yun, what a coincidence! I was taking this cousin Xun'er to visit the Xiao family, and I ran into you." When Xiao Yan saw that the person coming was Xiao Yun, he greeted him. Xiao Yan actually didn't know much about Xiao Yun. He only knew that they were close relatives and belonged to the Xiao family's direct lineage. However, Xiao Yun's parents died early, so he didn't know much else. Xiao Zhan would always drag him over during the holidays, but they rarely came into contact with each other, mainly because he was always practicing hard. "Well, I'm going to the back mountain to practice. You can take this cousin Xun'er on a tour." Xiao Yun nodded, indicating that he didn't want to have an awkward conversation with Xiao Yan, as he still had to go practice! Looking at Xiao Yun's departing back, Xiao Yan clenched his fists unwillingly. He had just shown his talent yesterday, and the title of Xiao family's number one genius had not even warmed up before it was snatched away by the stunning Xiao Yun. Moreover, Xiao Yun was only two years older than him, but his cultivation had reached the ninth stage. He had no confidence that he could reach the ninth stage of Dou Qi at the age of seven. Now, people who were more talented than him were practicing, but I could only waste time here with this cousin. "Cousin Xun'er, let's go visit our Xiao family's Dou Skills Hall. You can learn the low-level yellow-level skills there at will."
Xiao Yan became increasingly unhappy, but he did not show it. Instead, he continued to take Gu Xun'er to visit the Xiao family. Xiao Yun didn't think much about the two people he had just met, and quickly ran to the back mountain of the Xiao family. If he wanted to practice well, a strong body was essential. Xiao Yun would run for half an hour every day before practicing to get his body in good condition before starting to practice his fighting spirit. …… Xiao Yun's reputation as a genius spread like wildfire in Wutan City for nearly a week, and people who were easily bored with the old and easily attracted by the new gradually shifted their attention and turned their attention to another major event. This matter is the upcoming enrollment of Canaan College. As one of the famous advanced institutions of higher learning in the Douqi Continent, Canaan College is a holy place in the hearts of almost all young people. As long as you can graduate from the academy with further studies, your future will be almost smooth, and it is also a hot spot that all forces are vying for. Canaan College is located in the Black Horn region surrounding the Gama Empire, a lawless area. In the Black Horn Region, Canaan Academy was entrenched there like a giant dragon. No one dared to provoke it easily. Even the surrounding empires greeted the teachers and students who came to recruit students with smiles and escorted them all the way. All these things have made Canaan College even more famous in the eyes of the lower classes, and every year, Canaan College sends a large number of instructors to neighboring countries to recruit students. Canaan College does not care about one’s identity or status when enrolling students. As long as one has enough talent, no matter if you are a beggar or a thief, you can enter and practice there. Every year, many young people eagerly look forward to the arrival of admissions counselors. As long as they can pass the test, they can step into the door that symbolizes light. Under this atmosphere, the young people in Wutan City also began to become restless. It was even more lively than during festivals. Every day, there were people guarding the city gate, eagerly waiting for recruitment into the team. …… Walking slowly among the family, looking at the training grounds that suddenly became crowded, Xiao Yun felt helpless. The upcoming Canaan College has made the entire Xiao family restless. In the training ground, many young people were sweating profusely while training. These young people were all hoping that they could make a breakthrough in the last few days and meet the admission standards of Canaan College. Standing outside the training ground, Xiao Yun looked up a few times and was somewhat surprised to find a few familiar faces on the field. On one field, a man and a woman were getting ready to practice sparring. "Xiao Yan and Xiao Yu? I can understand why Xiao Yu came here, but was Xiao Yan provoked by me? He stopped fooling around with other kids and started practicing hard." Xiao Yun thought that in his memory, Xiao Yan had nothing to do with hard training. He had always been in a state of working hard for three days and resting for two days. He relied entirely on his own talents to practice, and he would play as much as possible. After watching the fight between the two for a while, Xiao Yun felt it was very boring. After all, the gap between him and the two was a bit too big now. In his eyes, the fight between the two was just like playing house. Most of the people on the training ground were those who didn't practice hard in normal times and only studied at the last minute. He had no sympathy for these people. Xiao Yun himself had great talent, but he had never stopped practicing hard. However, most of the people in the family are not very talented, but like to rely on the family influence to have affairs with other women. Such behavior is just like those dandy boys seen in novels in the previous life. Xiao Yun really looks down on them in his heart. The minimum requirement for admission to Canaan College is not very high. Before the age of eighteen, one must reach the eighth level of fighting spirit. But even with such conditions, a large number of people can still be admitted. From Xiao Yun's perspective, among those people on the training ground, only two have a chance of passing the admission test. The rest will all be eliminated. With his hands behind his back, Xiao Yun threw these guys out of his mind. How many of them could get in was none of his business. Shaking his head, Xiao Yun continued to stroll leisurely among the family. (End of this chapter)
