This Void Devouring Flame seems a bit strange

Looking at Xiao Yan on the high platform, Xiao Zhan's smile gradually became clearer, and in the end, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Hearing Xiao Zhan's triumphant laughter, the three elders looked at each other and sighed in their hearts.

The Great Elder, in particular, was extremely furious. He had previously asked Xiao Ning to steal the card and was almost caught. After that, he had paid a considerable price to win over the Second and Third Elders. As a result, Xiao Yan had now recovered his previous talent, which meant that all his previous plans and expenses had gone down the drain.

Standing up in great joy, Xiao Zhan clapped his hands and announced with a smile: "My nephew Xiao Ke failed in the challenge, I hope he will work hard in training in the future!"

Xiao Ke, who was pale, looked even uglier when he heard the verdict. He looked at the black-shirted teenager not far in front of him with complicated eyes. The man who was ridiculed as a waste a year ago, was once again above everyone in the family. This almost earth-shaking change made Xiao Ke think of the teenager's cold words in the hall that day: "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, don't bully the poor teenager!"

At first, I thought Xiao Yan was just showing off his ability to talk, but now it seems that I am the clown.

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Xiao Ke struggled to get up and clasped his fists towards Xiao Yan. The disdain in his voice had disappeared: "Cousin Xiao Yan, you won. Congratulations on your recovery!"

Xiao Yan smiled and nodded. He could tell that Xiao Ke was truly convinced, so he naturally would not take the opportunity to drag Xiao Ke down.

"Young Master Xiao Yan won! That's great!" Yu Xiao shouted happily without hiding his joy.

"It's just as Mr. Xu Yan expected..." Galiya admired Xuwu Tunyan's "foresight".

"Don't be impatient, the best is yet to come." Void Devouring Flame said with a smile, holding the recording crystal in one hand.

Xiao Yan's gaze slowly swept across the scene, and anyone who came into contact with his gaze avoided it timidly.

His eyes casually swept over Xiao Mei who had been staring at him from the beginning. Xiao Yan tilted his head and smiled faintly at the group of unqualified tribesmen opposite him: "Anyone else wants to challenge?"

The group of young men who had been eager to try before all shut their mouths. Some looked up at the sky in deep thought, some pretended to look around at the scenery, and some pretended to have dropped something and bent down to pick it up. But no one dared to go up and be the second challenger.

Looking at these young boys pretending to be stupid, Xiao Yan shrugged slightly, turned around and walked towards Xun'er.

Looking at Xiao Yan who was sitting next to her, Xun'er smiled and said, "Brother Xiao Yan, three years ago, they looked at you like this..."

"If it was three years ago, I would probably be excited by their awe, but now... I don't feel anything." Xiao Yan touched his nose and smiled calmly. At the beginning, he was a little proud of his temporary achievements, but now, he has understood some things.

"That means Brother Xiao Yan has matured." Xun'er blinked her watery eyes playfully.

"How can I be as mature as you? Sometimes I even wonder if there is a thousand-year-old monster hiding under this young girl's body!"

Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel amused when a little girl solemnly described him as mature. He rubbed Xun'er's head affectionately and said jokingly.

Hearing this, Xun'er couldn't help but give Xiao Yan a blank look, with a hint of anger on her delicate little face. No matter how magnanimous she was, she would be more or less unhappy to be called an old monster.

A girl's coquettish expression is always the most attractive. Xun'er's unintentional reveal of girlish coquettishness not only made the group of boys in the distance stare with their eyes wide open, but even some girls could not help but show envy on their faces.

"This bitch is too arrogant..." Xiao Ning was also attracted by Xun'er's cute and innocent appearance. Seeing Xun'er being intimate with Xiao Yan, jealous anger ignited in his heart, and this anger almost overwhelmed his reason.

In this family, he claimed that he was the only one worthy of Xun'er, but no matter how he tried to please her, he could never make her smile. On the other hand, Xiao Yan, the former waste, could always make the girl he liked laugh happily. This strong contrast made Xiao Ning hate her so much that his teeth itched.

"You can continue to be so arrogant for now. On the day of the coming-of-age ceremony, I will beat you to a pulp in front of Xun'er!" Xiao Ning glared fiercely at Xiao Yan who was sitting cross-legged in the distance.

Although Xiao Ning was also shocked by Xiao Yan's cultivation speed in the past year, his habitual contemptuous mentality would not be eliminated in a short time. Moreover, as the youngest person in the family second only to Xun'er, Xiao Yan's rapid progress this time has made Xiao Ning vaguely aware of a sense of crisis.

Before he grows up, give him a devastating blow. It would be best if you hit him hard enough to make him unable to recover!

As this sinister thought came to mind, the corners of Xiao Ning's mouth slowly curled up into an arc that was full of murderous intent.

Although Xiao Yan is now at the seventh level of Dou Qi, he is quite confident in his eighth level of Dou Qi.

While talking in a low voice with Xun'er and laughing softly, Xiao Yan casually glanced towards the edge of the training ground, just in time to see Xiao Ning's appearance. He was slightly stunned, then smiled faintly. How could someone who couldn't even hide his emotions be a threat to him?

After Xiao Ke failed in his challenge to Xiao Yan, no one dared to challenge him anymore. The group of unqualified clansmen had to look for other targets. After several rounds of competition, only two people, relying on their skilled fighting skills and some luck, defeated their opponents and successfully entered the qualified area.

Looking at the training ground which was gradually calming down, Xiao Zhan stood up with a smile on his face and loudly announced that the test was officially over.

Standing up slowly, Xiao Yan smiled at the smug Xiao Zhan on the podium, and Xiao Zhan, without hesitation, gave a thumbs up to his son who had been in the spotlight today.

"Look at me more." Void Devouring Flame suddenly said.

"Mr. Xu Yan, what did you just say?" Yu Xiao turned around and asked.

"Nothing, just talking to myself." Xuwu Tunyan waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to pay attention to it. It would be very troublesome to popularize this joke, and there was no need to do so.

"Everyone, now that the competition is over, it's time for me to fulfill my previous bet!" Xuwu Tunyan said loudly to everyone in the arena.

Most people had frustrated looks on their faces, after all, they could never have imagined that Xiao Yan could really reach the seventh level of Dou Qi in such a short time, so they naturally bet on the side that would not pass. But some people also had joy on their faces - some of them directly bet on Xiao Yan to pass, and some bet on both sides, but no matter what, they would get a lot of money in the end.

Void Swallowed Flame snapped his fingers, and "Nidhogg" spread its wings and flew up, then flew towards the crowd. Void Swallowed Flame accurately delivered the gold coins that needed to be given to the happy Xiao family members during its flight. Of course, there were also those who wanted to fish in troubled waters, and Void Swallowed Flame directly and unceremoniously rewarded them with a big bag.

After all the other tribesmen had been divided up, "Nidhogg" landed in the center.

"Patriarch Xiao, this is for you." Xuwu Tunyan handed the gold card in his hand to Xiao Zhan.

"Well, I really don't dare to accept such a generous gift from Mr. Xu Yan." Xiao Zhan looked at the tempting card in front of him and couldn't help swallowing.

"Patriarch Xiao, there is no need to be so reserved." Xuwu Tunyan said with a smile, "If you really feel unworthy of this, how about using this money to help those members of the tribe who were not selected and were exiled to other areas?"

Although Xuwu Tunyan is very casual and not a particularly kind person, he still has some sympathy for those tribesmen who were "exiled to the frontier" because of their weak strength.

"Okay, let's do as Mr. Xu Yan says." Xiao Zhan nodded quickly.

"Next, Miss Xun'er, it's your turn." Xuwu Tunyan took out a storage ring and said, "According to the odds, I will give you 10 million gold coins. All the cards are in this storage ring."

Xun'er smiled lightly and took the ring, but only took out ten cards from it - that is, the 100,000 gold coins from before, and handed the ring back: "These are enough for me. The previous bet was only because of Brother Xiao Yan."

"Oh? You won't even accept this?" Although he knew that the eldest lady of the Gu clan didn't need this little money at all, Xuwu Tunyan still asked in surprise.

"No need." Xun'er replied simply, "Mr. Xu Yan, I am very grateful for your support for Brother Xiao Yan, but please don't do this kind of thing again."

Although it was a tone of suggestion, Xuwu Tunyan still heard a bit of hostility in it: "Haha, I know that."

After saying that, Void Devouring Flame didn't want to stay any longer, and "Nidhoggr" took off directly with the wind, taking him and Yu Xiaogalieya away.

"You, girl, you've embarrassed me."

Xiao Yan couldn't help but complain.

“But it’s indeed a bit too much for him to use Brother Xiao Yan to build momentum…” Xun’er pouted.

Just when Xiao Yan was about to say something, a figure appeared in front of him.

Xiao Yan couldn't help but frowned, raised his head and looked at Xiao Mei standing in front of him, and smiled faintly: "Is there something wrong?"

Seeing the hidden indifference on Xiao Yan's pretty face, Xiao Mei's heart stagnated, and a forced smile appeared on her cheek. She said softly: "Cousin Xiao Yan, congratulations."

"Thank you." Xiao Yan nodded slightly and glanced at Xun'er beside him.

"Cousin Xiao Yan, my father will teach you advanced yellow-level fighting skills in the Fighting Skills Hall tomorrow. Do you want to come with us?" Xiao Mei said with a smile. The contradictory combination of charm and purity on her face was really heart-warming.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows quietly. Just when Xiao Yan was thinking of an excuse to refuse, a pair of slender, white and delicate wrists reached out from the side and held his arm.

After a slight pause, Xiao Yan turned his head and saw an elegant little face filled with smiles.

"I'm really sorry, cousin Xiao Mei, Xun'er has already asked Brother Xiao Yan to accompany me to visit Wutan City tomorrow, so I may not be able to accompany cousin Xiao Mei to the Fighting Skills Hall."

Amid the dull gazes around her, Xun'er held Xiao Yan's arm affectionately, with a hint of apology on her delicate little face.
