Battle Through the Heavens: Clan Leader, I'm sorry, now I just want to be a good person.

Upon hearing about the task of upgrading Pidan, Xiao Fan quickly opened the panel to take a look.

[The Strongest Supporting Character System] (Pidan)

Host: Xiao Fan

Level: 2 (1/200)

Strength: Battle Qi, Rank 7

Technique: Radiant Sun Technique

Combat Skill: Low-grade Yellow Rank Fiery Cloud Palm (Beginner)

Item: Low-level storage ring

Main quest: Xiao Yan breaks off the engagement, and everyone laughs at him, but you stand behind Xiao Yan and speak up for him.

Rewards: +50 experience points, PvP experience card (increases PvP proficiency and allows for quick mastery of PvP techniques), and 8-stage PvP aura.

Xiao Fan smiled inwardly upon seeing the rewards. Not only could he gain system experience points, but he also received combat skill experience cards, which would be perfect for adding points to the Fire Cloud Palm technique and seeing its effects. Moreover, he had only just broken through to the seventh stage of Battle Qi, and completing this would allow him to advance to the eighth stage of Battle Qi. Truly, this system lived up to its reputation!

After accepting the offer, Xiao Fan watched as everyone in the arena was still arguing over the few Qi Gathering Pills. Xiao Zhan returned them to Ge Ye, but the three elders wanted to keep them. Xiao Zhan was about to unleash his power.

Xiao Fan stepped forward and said loudly to the three elders, "Elders, this disciple believes that the Qi Gathering Powder should not be taken away."

Everyone was stunned by his words. Xiao Zhan, looking at Xiao Fan in front of him, also took back what he was about to say.

"What do you know? These are three Qi Gathering Pills, which can help our family produce three Dou Zhes, and maybe even some who can reach the Great Dou Shi or Dou Ling level!" the Third Elder roared at Xiao Fan.

"Get out of here immediately."

Xiao Fan did not back down an inch, bowed to the Third Elder and said, "Third Elder, if the glory of our family requires the self-esteem of the family's disciples to be exchanged, then I think even if a Dou Wang or Dou Huang appears, this family will not last long."

"When Xiao Yan was a genius, he brought so much honor to our Xiao family. If we abandon him just because of his current temporary slump, who will be willing to give up everything for the family in the future?" Xiao Fan said coldly, and then said to the younger generation of disciples around him, "It's fine for you to ridicule Xiao Yan at home, that's our family's business. But if you still cause internal strife when outsiders are around, how can such a family unite people's hearts?"

Those around Xiao Fan felt their faces flush upon hearing his words, and the three elders were rendered speechless by his words.

Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, Xiao Zhan exclaimed, "Good! This is the mindset a disciple of the Xiao family should have. Immediate benefits are fleeting; the future of the family rests on the shoulders of the younger generation." As he spoke, he glanced at the three elders, seemingly unintentionally.

Xiao Fan bowed to Xiao Zhan and then turned to Nalan Yanran, saying, "Miss Nalan, you should take back this Qi Gathering Powder. I believe that three years later, Xiao Yan will go to the Yunlan Sect to bring this matter to a satisfactory conclusion. As he said, fortunes change, and one should never underestimate a young man's potential."

After saying that, he walked out of the hall and headed towards the back mountain, leaving everyone in the hall stunned.

"Ding! My mission with Xiao Yan is complete. Rewards are waiting to be claimed."

Xiao Fan, who was walking on the road, chose to claim his reward.

Congratulations! You have gained 50 experience points.

Congratulations! You have received +1 Arena Experience Card.

"Congratulations on your advancement in Battle Qi. Current strength: Battle Qi, Level 8"

Xiao Fan sensed his own strength and smiled. As for the combat skill experience card, he didn't plan to use it now, because he needed to hurry to the back mountain. This was a crucial moment for Xiao Yan to meet Yao Lao. How could he miss it?

Meanwhile, on the back mountain, Xiao Yan was startled by the sound coming from the ring.

Upon hearing that his fighting spirit had vanished because of the old man in the ring, he angrily threw the ring off the cliff.

When Xiao Fan arrived at the back of the mountain, he saw Xiao Yan standing on the edge of a cliff, cursing loudly.

Xiao Fan smiled slightly, walked over and called out, "Xiao Yan, what's wrong?"

When Xiao Yan saw Xiao Fan approaching, he remembered Xiao Fan's help and smiled, "It's nothing. I just think I've figured out why my fighting spirit disappeared."

Xiao Fan feigned surprise, "Really? Congratulations then. I believe you will create another miracle."

Seeing Xiao Fan's trust in him, Xiao Yan was about to tell Xiao Fan about the ring when it flew up on its own.

Xiao Fan feigned shock, pulled Xiao Yan behind him, and said, "Be careful!" He then looked warily at the ring.

Xiao Yan felt a surge of warmth as he looked at Xiao Fan, who was standing in front of him, and said, "It's this thing that absorbed my Dou Qi for three years, which caused my strength to regress instead of improve."

At this moment, the old doctor's voice also came out: "Hehe, little brat, with your strength of the eighth level of Dou Qi, it would be as easy for me to crush you as crushing ants. There is no need to put on such an attitude in front of this old man."

Xiao Yan was also surprised when he heard Yao Lao's evaluation of Xiao Fan, and said, "You have already reached the eighth level of Dou Qi?" You should know that even Xiao Mei, a core disciple of the Xiao family, is only at the seventh level of Dou Qi.

Xiao Fan said without turning around, "Hmm! The key now is that this person saw through my strength at a glance. I guess he's right; crushing us is as easy as crushing an ant."

Then he said to the old doctor, "I wonder what you need from us, senior? Please feel free to make your request, and we will do our best to meet it."

Seeing Xiao Fan protecting Xiao Yan behind him, Yao Lao laughed and said, "With your strength at the eighth level of Dou Qi, you might be able to escape successfully if you abandon the kid behind you. Why don't you give it a try?"

Xiao Fan knew that Yao Lao was testing him. After all, he had been watching Xiao Yan for three years and knew his character. Based on his actions in the past few days alone, Yao Lao was definitely not at ease with him. He couldn't help but say, "Not to mention that it would be suicide for a junior to run away in front of a senior, I can't just stand by and watch Xiao Yan die. We are all from the same family. If I abandon her today, even if I survive, I will never be able to get over my conscience."

"Good! I never expected you to have such passion!" Yao Lao laughed heartily after hearing this. Then, a phantom figure floated out from the ring and said, "I have roamed the Dou Qi Continent for so many years, and I never thought I would meet such interesting little fellows like you today."

He said to Xiao Yan, "Little guy, I know it was wrong of me to absorb your Dou Qi for three years, but didn't you just make a three-year agreement? I can help you grow stronger than that girl, as an apology, how about it?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan said, "Hmph! I have found the reason for my decline in strength, and I am able to start cultivating again."

"You've found the reason, but that girl's talent isn't bad either, and she has a major sect like Yunlan Sect supporting her. Are you sure you can surpass her?" Yao Lao smiled after hearing this.

"As long as you agree to one condition, I can help you. Not to mention surpassing that girl, even surpassing the Yunlan Sect would not be difficult."

"What are the conditions?" Xiao Yan pondered Nalan Yanran's talent. He realized that without his own resources, he might not be able to keep up with Nalan Yanran's cultivation speed, so he couldn't help but ask.

"As long as you become my disciple!"

Xiao Yan curled his lip after hearing this, "Why should we become your disciples? This is something you owe me."

After hearing this, the old alchemist smiled mysteriously and asked, "Do you want to become alchemists?"
