Fighting Breaks the Heaven

guest

On the bed, the young boy sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, his hands forming a strange gesture in front of him. His chest rose and fell gently, forming a perfect cycle with each breath. Between these breaths, a faint stream of white qi flowed into his body through his nose and mouth, nourishing his bones and joints.

As the young boy meditated with his eyes closed, the ancient black ring on his finger glowed faintly once again before becoming still.

With a slow exhalation, the young boy suddenly opened his eyes, a faint white glow flashing in his dark pupils. This was the battle qi that had just been absorbed but not yet fully refined.

"My hard-earned battle qi is disappearing again," the young boy muttered angrily after sensing his body, his voice tinged with sharpness.

Clenching his fists tightly, he shook his head with a bitter smile after a moment of silence. Exhausted, he climbed off the bed and stretched his somewhat numb ankles and thighs. With only three segments of battle qi, he couldn't ignore the fatigue.

After briefly moving his body in the room, a hoarse voice came from outside: "Third young master, the clan leader asks you to come to the hall."

"Third young master," Xiao Yan was the third child in his family, with two older brothers who had already left on adventures and only returned occasionally at the end of the year. Overall, his two brothers were very kind to their younger brother, Xiao Yan.

"Okay," Xiao Yan responded casually and changed into a new set of clothes before stepping out of the room. He smiled at the elderly man in blue robes and said, "Let's go, Manager Mo."

Looking at the young boy's innocent face, the elderly man in blue robes nodded kindly and turned away. In the blink of an eye, a trace of regret flickered across his cloudy old eyes. "With Third Young Master's previous talent, he would have already become an outstanding fighter. Unfortunately..."

Following the elderly steward through the backyard, Xiao Yan finally stopped outside the solemn reception hall. After knocking respectfully, he gently pushed the door open.

The hall was spacious, with quite a few people inside. Seated at the top were Xiao Zhan and three elderly individuals with indifferent expressions. They were the elders of the clan and had no less power than the clan leader.

On the left side of the four people sat some influential and powerful elders in the family, and beside them were some outstanding young people who had performed well in the family.

On the other side sat three strangers, presumably the honored guests Xiao Zhan had mentioned last night.

Xiao Yan cast puzzled glances at the three strangers. Among them was an elderly man in a moon-white robe. The elderly man had a smile on his face and sparkling eyes. Xiao Yan's gaze shifted slightly downwards and finally stopped on the elderly man's chest. He was startled to see a silver crescent moon painted there, surrounded by seven golden stars.

"A Seventh-Star Great Fighter! This old man is actually a Seventh-Star Great Fighter. You can't judge a book by its cover," Xiao Yan thought in surprise. The old man's strength was even two stars higher than his father's.

People who became Great Fighters were at least renowned local strongmen, and their strength would be sought by any force. Seeing such a high-level strongman suddenly made Xiao Yan feel surprised.

Beside the elderly man sat a young man and woman, both wearing the same moon-white robes. The man was around twenty years old, handsome in appearance and tall in stature, very charming. Of course, most importantly, there were five golden stars painted on his chest, representing his strength: Fifth-Star Fighter.

To become a Fifth-Star Fighter at around twenty years old showed that the young man had extraordinary talent in cultivation.

With his handsome appearance and impressive strength, this young man not only fascinated many naive girls in the family but also caught the admiring glances of Xiao Mei, who was sitting nearby.

Although the girl was sending covert glances, it seemed to have no effect on the young man. At this moment, he was focusing all his attention on the beautiful young woman beside him.

The young woman was around the same age as Xiao Yan. To Xiao Yan's surprise, she was even more beautiful than Xiao Mei. In this family, perhaps only Xiao Xun'er, who was like a lotus, could compare with her. It was no wonder that the young man ignored the other girls in the family.

The young woman had green jade pendants hanging from her delicate earlobes, which emitted a clear tinkling sound as they swayed. Suddenly, a trace of nobility emerged from her.

In addition, three golden stars were painted beside the young woman's budding breasts.

Third-Star Fighter. If this girl hadn't been stimulated by external factors, she would be an extraordinary genius. Xiao Yan took a deep breath and shifted his gaze from the cold and beautiful face of the young woman. Despite his youthful appearance, he had a mature soul. Although**** young woman was beautiful, he didn't have the leisure to drool like a piggy to annoy others.

Xiao Yan's behavior seemed to slightly surprise the young woman. Although she was not the kind of girl who thought the world revolved around her, she was well aware of her own beauty and temperament. Xiao Yan's casual actions were truly unexpected to her, but that was all.

"Father, the three elders," Xiao Zhan and the three elders quickly stepped forward and respectfully bowed to the four people at the top.

"Hehe, Yan'er, here you are. Come and sit down," Xiao Zhan stopped talking with the guests and nodded at Xiao Yan, waving his hand.

Xiao Yan smiled and nodded, pretending not to see the impatience and disdain shot at him by the three elders. He looked around the hall and was stunned to find that there was no seat for him.

"*, my status in this family seems to be getting lower and lower. It was bad enough in the past, but now they're even embarrassing me in front of guests. Those three old bastards," Xiao Yan thought sarcastically and shook his head.

Seeing Xiao Yan standing still, the young people in the family couldn't help but laugh, obviously enjoying the sight of him being embarrassed.

At this moment, Xiao Zhan above also noticed Xiao Yan's embarrassment. A flicker of anger passed across his face as he frowned at the elderly man beside him and said, "Second Elder..."

"Cough, I'm really sorry. I forgot about Third Young Master. Heh, I'll have someone prepare a seat right away," the yellow-robed elder, who was stared at by Xiao Zhan, smiled and patted his forehead in apparent remorse. However, the sarcasm in his eyes was not well concealed.

"Xiao Yan brother, sit here," a faint laughter suddenly echoed in the hall.

The three elders were startled and turned their gazes to Xiao Xun'er sitting in the corner. Their mouths moved, but none of them dared to speak again.

In the corner of the hall, Xiao Xun'er smiled as she closed the thick book in her hands. She had an elegant and calm demeanor, blinking her eyes cutely at Xiao Yan. She was intellectually beautiful, and after flipping through the pages of the ancient book for a while, she suddenly said in a somewhat melancholy tone, "Xiao Yan brother hasn't sat with Xun'er alone for three years, has he?"

"Uh, now Xun'er is a genius in the family. Isn't it easy to make friends?" Seeing the somewhat melancholy and clean side of the young woman's face, Xiao Yan chuckled nervously.

"When Xun'er was four to six years old, someone would sneak into my room every night and use a very clumsy technique and not very strong battle qi to nourish my bones and meridians. Every time, they would leave exhausted and sweating profusely. Who do you think he is, Xiao Yan brother?" Xiao Xun'er fell silent for a while, then suddenly turned her head and smiled at Xiao Yan. The unique charm of a young g************ young men around her eyes light up.

"Cough, how would I know? At that time, we were still crawling on the ground. I didn't know anything," Xiao Yan stammered and then looked around the hall with a guilty conscience.

"Heehee," seeing Xiao Yan's reaction, Xiao Xun'er's mouth curled up into a gentle smile, revealing cute dimples on her small face. She turned the pages of the book with her slender fingertips and seemed to murmur to herself, "Although I know it was out of kindness, Xun'er is still a girl, right? How could someone secretly touch a girl's body? If Xun'er finds out who it is, hmm..."

Xiao Yan's mouth twitched. Feeling guilty, he kept his eyes on his nose and didn't say anything.
