Xiao Ning hesitated for a long time, but finally decided to take a gamble. Although he knew that his chances of winning were slim, and even if he won, Xiao Meng was unlikely to change her mind, and that he would probably get beaten up and embarrassed on stage...

But, he was unwilling!

Even though there were so many reasons to stop him from challenging Xiao Yan, he didn't want to regret it for the rest of his life because of a moment of cowardice. Even if the opportunity was slim, he had to try!

Besides... he had also promised his sister that he would teach Xiao Yan a lesson and vent her anger.

How could a man not keep his word? He had to fulfill his promise even if he had to crawl to do it... Whether he could do it was a matter of ability, but whether he did it was a matter of attitude!

Looking at Xiao Ning's stubborn face, Xiao Yu felt a little helpless. She rummaged in her pocket, hesitated for a moment, took out a green pill, stroked it reluctantly, and then inconspicuously stuffed it into Xiao Ning's hand.

"This is a grade two pill, 'Qi-Boosting Powder'. It can give you the combat power of a Dou Master in a short period of time, but it will make you weak for a month, so don't use it recklessly."

This was something she had exchanged for in the academy to save her life at a critical moment, but now that she saw her brother so persistent, she had no choice but to help him.

Young boys and girls don't think too much when considering problems, and it's common to do things without considering the consequences for a moment of impulse.

Xiao Ning immediately showed a look of surprise. At this moment, he only wanted to defeat Xiao Yan. He didn't think about what this pill meant to his sister, nor did he think about the gains and losses of relying on pills... He just wanted to defeat Xiao Yan, that's all!

"With this, I will definitely be able to teach him a good lesson," Xiao Ning said firmly.

Xiao Yu still had some sense, and reminded softly: "Know when to stop, just give him a little color to see, after all, this is the coming-of-age ceremony, and he is our clansman after all... If you seriously injure him, even Grandpa can't protect you."

"I know what I'm doing," Xiao Ning nodded emphatically.

Xiao Yu's face showed a worried look. Xiao Ning's current appearance didn't look like he knew what he was doing. She was a little worried that he would not be able to control the surge of power and cause trouble.

With the pill as his confidence, Xiao Ning confidently stepped onto the stage: "I'll do it!"

The Second Elder subconsciously looked at the Great Elder in the VIP seat. Seeing the other party's ugly face, he couldn't help but ask one more question:

"Are you sure you want to challenge Xiao Yan?"

"Of course!" Xiao Ning didn't understand the Second Elder's meaning of persuasion, and gave him a confident look.

The Second Elder shook his head helplessly. There was no way, he couldn't be saved... He continued the procedure and asked Xiao Yan: "Do you accept the challenge?"

"You won't not accept it, will you? Xiao Meng is watching!" Xiao Ning provoked.

Seeing this, the Second Elder hesitated, shaking his head even more violently.

Idiot... Xiao Yan rolled his eyes in his heart and nodded lightly: "Accept."

The Second Elder stepped aside, and the atmosphere on the wooden platform immediately became tense... The battle began.

Xiao Zhan frowned, a trace of worry on his face. Although Xiao Yan's Dou Qi cultivation had caught up, what affected the outcome of the battle was not only Dou Qi cultivation.

Dou skills were also a crucial factor.

In the Dou Qi Continent, Dou skills are divided into four major levels: Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang. Each level is further divided into low, intermediate, and high. Heaven-level high-grade is the highest, and Huang-level low-grade is the lowest.

As far as Xiao Zhan knew, the Great Elder's grandson, Xiao Ning, was a regular visitor to the Dou Skill Hall and had mastered no less than three Huang-level intermediate Dou skills and one Huang-level high-grade Dou skill.

That old guy didn't use this to show off in front of him when Xiao Yan was down, so Xiao Zhan knew it quite well.

On the other hand, Xiao Yan, although his talent had returned and his Dou Qi cultivation had caught up, he had never heard of him going to the Dou Skill Hall, so he would be at a great disadvantage in terms of Dou skills.

On the viewing platform where the VIPs were, Ya Fei smiled charmingly: "I wonder why Clan Leader Xiao looks a little worried?"

"Alas... Yan'er is not very proficient in Dou Qi, and he has only recently entered the eighth stage of Dou Practitioner. I'm afraid he doesn't have much chance of winning against Xiao Ning, who has been at this level for a year," Xiao Zhan said without hesitation, expressing his worries.

"Hehe, in other words, Xiao Ning's Dou Qi cultivation hasn't improved at all in the past year?" Ya Fei said with a smile.

The Great Elder's face immediately turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

Xiao Zhan was also stunned by her peculiar angle, and then smiled: "Miss Ya Fei is really a wonderful person, with such a different way of looking at problems."

"Young Master Xiao Yan, go for it!" Xiao Meng didn't seem to know what worry was, and had full confidence in Xiao Yan, shouting loudly from the side.

"Hmph, you have confidence in that trash," Xiao Yu snorted coldly.

"Of course I have confidence in Young Master Xiao Yan. He is a man with the potential of a Great Emperor!"

Xiao Yan himself was a little embarrassed by Xiao Meng's praise. He touched his nose and whispered to Xiao Meng: "Xiao Meng, know when to stop. I'm not that powerful..."

"In Xiao Meng's heart, Young Master Xiao Yan is the most powerful!" Xiao Meng showed a sly smile.

Anyway, it's not me who's embarrassed by the praise, so just keep praising... And she didn't say anything wrong. Xiao Yan does have the potential of a Great Emperor.

This scene made Xiao Ning envious and jealous, and his expression became distorted. He gritted his teeth and said, "Xiao Yan, are you ready to die?"

"Crazy..." Xiao Yan uttered a word, wondering what kind of madness Xiao Ning was going through again.

Xiao Ning clenched his fists, and Dou Qi circulated rapidly in his body.

The circulating Dou Qi added a bit of strength to himself, and his confidence increased a lot.

He stomped the ground with his right foot, and changed his right fist into a claw, with a bit of cold light on his fingernails.

"Huang-level intermediate Dou skill, Claw Cracking Strike!"

Xiao Yan had long been annoyed by this pair of siblings who had repeatedly made things difficult for him. Without indulging him, he stretched out his right hand and clenched his five fingers slightly:

"Suction Palm."

Xiao Ning's face changed. He only felt an invisible force pulling him closer to Xiao Yan.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and he quickly calmed down. As the leading figure of the Xiao family's younger generation after Xiao Yan's decline, he naturally had two or three tricks up his sleeve. He made a judgment and decided to take advantage of this pulling force to get closer to Xiao Yan.

He spat out Dou Qi backward, and his speed increased a bit.

"Heh, you little brat, you're still too tender."

"Is that so?" Xiao Yan had a calm smile on his face, and the way Dou Qi circulated suddenly changed:

"Fire-Blowing Palm!"

A burst of repulsive force suddenly erupted from Xiao Yan's palm. Xiao Ning only felt a wall of air hitting him.

The thrust of his own Dou Qi, the suction of the Suction Palm, and the repulsive force of the Fire-Blowing Palm instantly erupted on him, and the powerful force shook his internal organs.

Xiao Ning spat out blood and fell to the ground limply.

Seeing Xiao Ning's rapid defeat, Spectator was silent and silent.

Then, they all gasped.

"This child's talent is terrifying!"

"Not only is he a genius in Dou Qi cultivation, but he also seems to be a genius in Dou skill cultivation."

Xiao Zhan scratched his chin, wondering: This is not a Dou skill from the family. Did someone else teach him?

He subconsciously looked at Xun'er.

"Young Master Xiao Yan is indeed extraordinary. Perhaps our two families should have more contact in the future. I wonder what Clan Leader Xiao Zhan thinks?" The smile on Ya Fei's face was still charming.

Xiao Zhan's face showed a trace of surprise. This was the first time the Mitel Auction House had shown a tendency to deepen cooperation with one of the three major families in Wu Tan City: "I'd be happy to!"

The representatives of other forces who had been invited by the Xiao family to attend the ceremony and had a good relationship with the Xiao family were also thinking in their hearts that they must deepen cooperation with the Xiao family next.

The Great Elder, who had been quite critical of Xiao Yan for injuring Xiao Ning, immediately disappeared, praising him greatly:

"The young clan leader is truly a young hero. I have long said that he must be extraordinary."

The Great Elder naturally guessed the reason for Ya Fei's change in attitude, and naturally did not hesitate to praise Xiao Yan, who had caused this change.

Being able to bring real benefits to the Xiao family before he has grown up, how can he not love such a clansman?

Hehe... Xiao Zhan didn't have a good impression of this old guy who was so good at changing his tune, but he didn't say anything, just rolled his eyes.

Xiao Meng's voice sounded as timely as ever:

"Young Master Xiao Yan is great! Young Master Xiao Yan is invincible!

"Little Xiao Ning, a worthless piece of trash!"

Xiao Ning was still immersed in the loss of being defeated so decisively, and then he heard his grandfather turn around and praise Xiao Yan...

Then the goddess he had admired for a long time also praised Xiao Yan, and also stepped on him...

He suddenly felt that he had been abandoned by the whole world, and the whole world became dark... He spat out another mouthful of blood and fainted... He didn't even have time to take the Qi-Boosting Powder in his pocket.

"Brother!" Xiao Yu jumped onto the stage in a panic to check his injuries.

In a daze, Xiao Ning vaguely heard Xiao Yu's voice... That's right, I still have my sister...

Xiao Yu hurriedly took out a healing pill and put it into Xiao Ning's mouth.

This pill was also a grade two pill, which she had finally exchanged for. It was originally intended to save her life when she encountered danger during training, but at this moment, she didn't care so much, just thinking about letting Xiao Ning recover quickly.

Xiao Ning, who had taken the pill, still didn't wake up, but his breathing was much smoother.

She stared at Xiao Yan with red eyes and said fiercely: "Little brat, do you dare to fight me?"

Xiao Yan touched his nose. He felt that he should have held back. Why did Xiao Ning vomit blood again later?

This was different from the original novel, where Xiao Ning relentlessly took the Qi-Boosting Powder and launched a sneak attack after being defeated. Instead, Xiao Yan injured the other party so badly in a normal competition, so he felt a little guilty.

Xiao Meng, who had made Xiao Ning vomit blood for the second time, unknowingly stood between Xiao Yan and Xiao Yu:

"It's obviously your brother who is too useless, unable to take even one move from Young Master Xiao Yan. If you want to fight, I'll fight you!"

Xiao Ning, who had taken the pill, was originally slowly waking up, but fainted again when he heard this.
