"Master Gu Ni, how are you?" Xiao Zhan couldn't help but ask.

"Hey." Master Gu Ni sighed, "I have little talent and limited knowledge, so I couldn't find the problem. Patriarch Xiao should hire someone else."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhan staggered, and his face seemed to have aged a bit in an instant.

Xiao Yan's face was even more ashen. Even Master Gu Ni couldn't do anything. Who else could they look for? No one higher up could be hired by the Xiao family.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Master Gu Ni." Xiao Zhan forcibly cheered up and bowed before leaving with Xiao Yan. Master Gu Ni didn't say anything more. In the end, this matter had nothing to do with him.

"Yan'er, don't be discouraged. Father will definitely find a solution to your physical problems." On the way back, Xiao Zhan patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder and said.

"Yeah." Xiao Yan responded, not sure whether he believed it or not.

"Master Gu Ni, this is the genius of the Xiao family." After Xiao Zhan and the others left, an enchanting woman wearing a bright red tight-fitting brocade robe opened the door and walked in.

"Well, it's a pity. If there is something wrong with my body, I'm afraid this talent will be wasted." Master Gu Ni responded with a sigh.

Yafei originally wanted to get acquainted with the geniuses of the Xiao family, but she lost interest at this time.

Thinking of Mu Zhan who was chasing after her in the imperial capital, she couldn't help but feel tight in her heart. She must control her own destiny.

…

Not long after, the Xiao family's annual family test was held as scheduled.

Many children of the Xiao family gathered on the bluestone training ground. A rough calculation showed that there were more than a hundred young girls and boys standing there, and the noise was endless.

In the center of the training ground stands a huge black test stone. This test stone is not very rare, but it is also valuable.

Next to the test monument is the cold-faced tester that everyone is familiar with, and it has been him in previous years.

Sitting on the high platform on the left side of the training ground are the senior officials of the Xiao family, with the patriarch Xiao Zhan and the three elders at the center.

The boys and girls in the audience were more or less uneasy. Only Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Yu showed no concern.

"Xun'er, I'm so annoyed. If that Xiao Yan challenges me later, I will definitely be lectured by grandpa if I make a move."

Xiao Yu put her hand on Xiao Xun'er's shoulder and said angrily.

Xiao Xun'er's eyes looked through the gap in the crowd at Xiao Yan, who had his head lowered. Although she was not an alchemist, her mental power was very strong due to her bloodline and strange fire, and she could see something strange about Xiao Yan.

Come.

The corners of her mouth raised slightly, "I think Xiao Yan won't think of provoking you this year."

On the high platform.

The second elder bowed his hands to Xiao Zhan and complimented with a smile: "Clan Chief, I'm afraid the young chief will shock everyone again this time."

Xiao Zhan smiled stiffly on his old face, shocking the entire audience, indeed he was going to shock the entire audience.

"I don't know how Yu'er's cultivation is now." The elder was stroking his beard and looking at Xiao Yu who was standing with Xiao Xun'er with a happy face.

Among his juniors, although Xiao Ning has become more confident after being taught a lesson by Xiao Yan and has practiced a lot more seriously, after all, the talent is there and the speed of cultivation is just that. Now he is only at the sixth level of fighting spirit, which is far behind his sister.

.

"The time has come, let the clan leader announce it." After a while, the great elder said.

Xiao Zhan sighed softly in his heart, stood up, looked around at the people on the training ground, and paused briefly at Xiao Yan, who had his head lowered, "You are all the new blood of the family, you should know what happened today."

How important the test is to you, and I also know that you don’t like to listen to nonsense, so I won’t say more, and get ready, the test officially begins.”

"The first one, Xiao Cheng."

The examiner's cold voice sounded, and then a man who was no bigger than an adult came forward and put his hand on the test stone.

"Strength of Fighting: Fifth Stage!"

Five correct fonts burst out from the black stone tablet.

"Xiao Cheng, fifth level of fighting strength, intermediate level!" The examiner nodded to Xiao Cheng and announced the results.

Xiao Cheng walked down slightly dejected when he heard the results.

"At the age of thirteen, the fifth level of Dou Qi is pretty good." Several elders on the high platform talked among themselves.

Although people like Xiao Cheng are not as good as Xiao Yan, Xiao Yu and others, they will still be the backbone of the Xiao family in the future. With hard work, it is not impossible to become a great fighting master.

"Xiao Mei."

The second person to come on stage was pink-haired Xiao Mei. She took a deep breath, walked up to the stage and put her hand on the test stone.

"Strength of Fighting: Fifth Stage!"

"Xiao Mei, fifth level of fighting strength, intermediate level!"

Xiao Mei breathed a sigh of relief after hearing her results, and walked briskly down the stage to Xiao Yan's side while facing the envious eyes of her peers. Although she didn't know what happened to Xiao Yan, as long as Xiao Yan's talent was still there,

She is his caring sister Meier.

Xiao Mei is two years younger than Xiao Cheng. This talent is already ranked in the top five in the Xiao family. In the future, being a great fighting master is basically not a problem, and fighting spirits is not impossible.

"Xiao Xun'er."

The examiner's voice sounded again, and then all the eyes of the audience were focused on this spotless and pretty girl. Many teenagers even had hidden admiration in their eyes, while a trace of jealousy flashed in Xiao Mei's eyes.

Looking at the girl slowly walking towards the high platform, fiery eyes lit up in the silent field.

Nearly half of the men among his peers are Xiao Xun'er's suitors, but Xiao Xun'er's temperament is really cold and unwilling to let any man come within one meter of him, like an iceberg that has not melted for a thousand years, even if a woman

I'm afraid Xiao Yu is the only one who can be considered Xiao Xun'er's friend.

Seeing Xiao Xun'er on the stage, the elders on the high platform couldn't help but cheer up slightly. In their opinion, Xiao Xun'er's talent should not be weaker than Xiao Yan and Xiao Yu, but he is more low-key.

Facing the gazes of everyone in the field, the girl will unhurriedly stretch out a slender snow-white wrist from her cuffs.

The jade hand gently touched the cold black stone tablet, Xiao Xun'er's eyes closed slightly, and the power of fighting surged in her body.

With the influx of fighting power, the black stone tablet suddenly glowed after a brief silence.

"Strength of fighting, ninth level!"

"Hiss~"

There were gasps of cold air in the audience, and countless eyes of envy, admiration, and even jealousy were cast on the girl.

Some teenagers on the training ground even lowered their heads with a sense of inferiority. Xiao Mei couldn't help but raise her hands when she looked at the dazzling girl on the stage, feeling a little decadent in her heart. Compared with Xiao Xun'er, she was like a country girl.

The wild girl is far inferior to her in appearance and talent.

"Xiao Xun'er, fighting spirit, ninth level, level, advanced!"

When talking about Xiao Xun'er, even the examiner's cold voice couldn't help but show some mood swings.

With such a young ninth-level fighting spirit, he will definitely become a fighting king in the future!

"Our Xiao family is indeed full of talented people!"

The third elder looked down and nodded with a smile.

Although it is slightly worse than Xiao Yan and Xiao Yu, this kind of cultivation speed can still be called a freak.

Now there are many talented people among the descendants of the Xiao family. When these geniuses grow up in a few decades, wouldn't it be possible to restore the Xiao family's past glory and become one of the most powerful families in the Jia Ma Empire?

You must know that before the old patriarch died, the Xiao family also had a fighting king.

Xiao Yan raised his head and glanced at Xiao Xun'er in amazement, then lowered his head in a self-deprecating manner. If it were in the past, he might express his appreciation and try to strike up a conversation, but now, feeling the power of fighting in his body, now

Even Xiao Mei next to me couldn't compare.

Who can understand the feeling of going from a genius that everyone touted to a loser overnight?

He clenched his fists slightly, feeling like a prisoner about to go to the execution ground, waiting for death to come, and every minute and second before that was torture.

The girl on the high platform didn't like being noticed by so many people. After finishing the test, she walked down the high platform and returned to Xiao Yu's side.

"Xun'er, your strength should be more than this." Xiao Yu pushed Xiao Xun'er's shoulder and whispered. After spending time with Xiao Xun'er day and night, she could feel that she was not Xiao Xun'er's opponent. And Xiao Xun'er had been there before.

He was able to easily defeat Xiao Yan, and it didn't look like he only had ninth-level fighting spirit.

"I won't tell you." In front of Xiao Yu, her best friend, Xun'er no longer looked like an iceberg and said a little playfully.

"You little girl, you even hid it from me." Xiao Yu immediately stretched out her hand to grab Xun'er's armpit, but Xun'er dexterously avoided it.

…

"Xiao Yan!"

After a long time, it was finally Xiao Yan's turn.

The atmosphere on the field suddenly became solemn, and everyone's eyes were attracted to that young man. Last year, he had already broken through to the level of fighter, so what level has he reached now.

Regardless of whether they hate Xiao Yan or not, they must admit that Xiao Yan's talent is very strong, just as Xiao Zhan said at the beginning: My son Xiao Yan has the talent to fight the emperor.

The boy with his head lowered slowly raised his head, revealing two huge dark circles on his face. He looked as if he had stayed up all night for several days. His complexion was also much worse, and he looked even thinner.

"What happened to Xiao Yan?" Some attentive tribesmen discovered something unusual.

Under the gaze of everyone, Xiao Yan walked up to the high platform step by step. Each step he took was extremely heavy. He didn't look like he was going for a test, but like he was going to the execution ground to die.

"I don't know what surprise the young patriarch can bring us." The second elder couldn't help but said while looking at the young man on the high platform.

"I think with Xiao Yan's talent, he is probably already a two-star fighter by now." The third elder couldn't help but speculate.
