"If I remember correctly, Young Master Xiao Miao is only 7 years old."

"A seven-year-old with a five-star Dou Zhe (Battle Master) is probably the first in the entire Jia Ma Empire."

"Is this test marker broken?"

Watching the discussions among the crowd below, Xiao Miao didn't feel much emotional turmoil, after all, these were the fruits of his hard work day and night.

But he didn't know that if ordinary people didn't have talent, they wouldn't be able to reach such a level even if they worked hard day and night like he did.

The testers were also flustered and at a loss when they saw this scene, and quickly looked at Xiao Zhan in the main seat.

Xiao Zhan nodded in acknowledgment, and only then did the tester speak:

"Young Master Xiao Miao, may I test it again? Thank you for your trouble!"

His tone was full of humility, after all, if the test monument was correct, Xiao Miao would be the number one young prodigy of the Jia Ma Empire in the future.

Xiao Miao nodded and placed his arm back on the table to circulate his battle qi.

"Five Stars of the Fighter"

The result was the same, and the audience erupted in a fierce commotion.

Xiao Miao turned around and saw Xiao Yan staring wide-eyed in shock. He never expected that Xiao Miao would break through to the Dou Zhe level so quickly, and even reach the five-star level.

"Silence, continue the test."

As Xiao Zhan, who was in the main seat, spoke, Xiao Miao slowly walked down the stage and headed towards Xiao Yan.

Chapter 4 Ulterior motives

"Next, Xiao Yan."

As soon as the voice fell, Xiao Yan strode forward and leaped onto the stage.

Xiao Yan brought his palm close and slowly circulated his Dou Qi.

"Ninth level of Battle Qi".

The boy's face lacked the pride that should belong to his age, indicating that he had been quite discouraged by Xiao Miao.

"Wow, a ninth-level Dou Qi master. Apart from Young Master Xiao Miao, I doubt anyone of his age is stronger than Young Master Xiao Yan."

"Nonsense, Young Master Xiao Miao's talent is probably far superior to his peers in the Jiama Empire."

Whispers also rippled through the audience, but after witnessing Xiao Miao's extraordinary talent, they quickly adapted.

Xiao Miao nodded to Xiao Yan as he walked down from the stage.

"Sigh, even though I started cultivating much earlier than you, you still surpassed me by a huge margin. Damn it, what kind of physique is this?"

Xiao Miao replied with a slightly arrogant tone:

"People's physical constitutions cannot be generalized."

Hearing these unashamed words, Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Miao with a resentful expression.

"When did you become so cunning?"

Xiao Miao shrugged, his face mask obscuring his expression.

However, judging from the only smile he showed, he was definitely in a good mood.

"Little Miao, Brother Xiao Yan, neither of you watched my Dou Qi test."

Upon hearing the plaintive voice beside him, Xiao Yan's expression froze.

"I'm sorry, Sister Xun'er."

This time, Xiao Miao reacted quickly and hurriedly tried to please Xiao Xun'er.

"Xiao Miao, it's been so long since I've touched your face?"

Ever since Xiao Xun'er first recognized Xiao Miao's gender, she hurriedly apologized. After the two calmed down, she insisted on recognizing Xiao Miao as her godbrother and would occasionally rub his face, which caused her face to hurt whenever she saw him.

Hearing Xiao Xun'er's sudden voice, Xiao Miao met her gaze and saw the expectation in her eyes.

"Sister Xun'er, this is not okay, absolutely not, in public."

Xiao Miao quickly refused, but little did she know that the more you forbid a woman from giving in, the more she wants it.

Seeing Xiao Xun'er's exquisitely beautiful but displeased face, Xiao Miao, unsure of how to respond, could only apologize repeatedly.

"Xiao Miao."

Upon hearing the voice, Xiao Miao knew it was Xiao Yu without turning around. After all, Xiao Yu had come to inquire so many times in the past few days, always with the cliché reason of a chance encounter.

Seeing the enthusiastic Xiao Yu in front of him, Xiao Miao could only chat with her casually.

"Cousin Xiao Yu?"

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's voice behind her, Xiao Yu's expression instantly turned cold, but then, as if remembering something, her face returned to normal.

"For Xiaomiao's sake, I'll let bygones be bygones for what happened before."

Then Xiao Yu put on a smiling face and looked at Xiao Miao. Seeing Xiao Yu's face change so quickly, Xiao Yan's face twitched, and he was even more confused.

He didn't think Xiao Yu would have such a good temper, so it was strange that she let him go like this. After thinking it over, he could only think that Xiao Miao had paid some price for Xiao Yu to let him go.

However, recalling how he had abandoned Xiao Miao and run away alone before, Xiao Yan decisively shut his mouth and did not bring it up again to prevent Xiao Miao from seeking revenge. Things were different now; it would be too easy for Xiao Miao to control him, given the difference in their cultivation levels.

Those watching Xiao Miao and his friends gathered together couldn't help but feel envious. In their eyes, this was the most talented group of the younger generation in the Xiao family, and everyone wanted to join them. Xiao Zhan, sitting in the main seat, also felt gratified looking at the scene below the stage.

As the test came to an end, Xiao Miao took his leave. After all, Xiao Yu's burning gaze was constantly fixed on him, and Xiao Miao couldn't bear it. He knew how attractive Xiao Yu's terrifying charm was.

Back in his room, Xiao Miao removed the white fox mask from his face and sat cross-legged.

"I've broken through to the Dou Zhe level for quite some time now; it's time to start cultivating attribute-based techniques."

Then Xiao Miao took out the Battle Qi Stone from his pocket and used the Qi Condensation Technique to gather Battle Qi in his palm. As a chill rose from the stone, a hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Miao's eyes.

He never expected that he was of the ice attribute. He didn’t remember that there were any ice attribute techniques in the inheritance.

Xiao Miao checked the bloodline inheritance; there were four books in total. One was of too low a grade, and it was unclear why Xiao had included it. Another was damaged. (Here, "low grade" refers to its lower grade compared to the bloodline cultivation techniques.)

Xiao Miao looked at the remaining two books and couldn't help but hesitate.

These two cultivation techniques are of a high grade, but one requires extremely cold ingredients to master before it can be completed. Moreover, Xiao Miao has never heard of the ingredients listed on them before, and even if they exist, their prices must be extremely high.

As for the other book...

Xiao Miao looked at the cultivation technique, which seemed somewhat ethereal and otherworldly, and fell silent, feeling that it was a bit unreliable.

I can only visit the family tomorrow, but I don't have much hope for them. The Xiao family is one of the three major families in Wutan City, but in the Jia Ma Empire, they are just an insignificant family, let alone in the entire Dou Qi Continent.

But after thinking it over, Xiao Miao realized that this was the only option. What if something went wrong?

The next day, Xiao Miao went to ask Xiao Zhan for instructions early in the morning.

After yesterday's test, Xiao Miao can now be considered the number one among the younger generation of the Xiao family. Xiao Zhan and the elders are naturally very willing to do this small thing.

To Xiao Miao's disappointment, the Xiao family did not possess any Xuan-level ice-attribute cultivation techniques.

Before leaving, Xiao Zhan said he would definitely find a Xuan-rank cultivation technique for him, but in Xiao Miao's opinion, a Xuan-rank technique was not as good as the one inherited from his bloodline.

However, Xiao Miao did not refuse verbally, but simply nodded silently and took his leave.

After leaving the Xiao family hall, Xiao Miao was about to head to the martial arts training ground to practice when she unexpectedly ran into Xiao Xun'er.

"Cousin Xun'er."

Seeing Xiao Xun'er walking towards him, Xiao Miao spoke up to signal her.

"Little Miao, are you heading towards the martial arts arena? Want to come along?"

I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling about it.

In the training ground, Xiao Miao stood in front of a wooden stake. Just as he began to channel his fighting spirit, he heard Xiao Xun'er's voice.

"Little Miao, how about I practice with you? I made some progress after going back yesterday and would like to ask you for some pointers."

Xiao Miao saw Xiao Xun'er blinking her almond-shaped eyes and speaking to her, and knew that she was definitely up to no good.

Thinking that he was a five-star fighter, he figured nothing would happen, so he agreed without much thought.

Although the Xiao family is only a family in a remote city in the Jiama Empire, the Xiao family is very strict with the cultivation of the younger generation, which means that many young people come to the Xiao family's martial arts arena to train every day.

Seeing Xiao Miao and Xiao Xun'er arrive side by side, the members of the Xiao family were filled with disbelief.

Putting aside the fact that Xiao Xun'er's strength is second only to Xiao Miao and Xiao Yan among the younger generation of the Xiao family, her slightly immature yet already captivating beauty is enough to make people unable to suppress the shy affection that wells up in their hearts.

Moreover, the person standing next to him was the "White Fox Prince" of the Xiao family. In the eyes of the Xiao family members, Xiao Miao was the epitome of aloofness and coldness. They remembered that a year ago, a beautiful girl wanted to talk to Xiao Miao, but was rejected on the grounds that "her cultivation level is too low and she needs to cultivate more." The girl's tearful appearance made many people want to go forward to comfort her, but they did not know that Xiao Miao just wanted to encourage her to cultivate hard.

Please leave comments and votes, thank you!

Chapter 5 Xiao Xun'er's Little Thoughts

Everyone stared at the strange pair. The girl was chatting with the boy about something, her face beaming with smiles. The boy, on the other hand,... well...

Okay, Xiao Miao was wearing a mask, so no one could see his expression.

Even if the mask were removed, the boy's face would probably still be expressionless, a thought that couldn't help but evoke a wicked glint in everyone's eyes.

"Young Master White Fox, please enlighten me."
