Chapter 157: Rite of Passage
Time flies, and in an instant, nearly a year has passed, and there is only one month left before Xiao Yan's coming-of-age ceremony.
The coming-of-age ceremony is a ritual inherited by the Xiao family, and the specific origin is no longer available, but Xiao Zhan guessed that it was estimated that it was passed down from the Xiao family at the beginning, and similar rituals were retained within the ancient clan, but the people carried out the ritual of awakening the bloodline and giving the clan crest.
The bloodline of the Xiao family's Dou Emperor has been cut off, and now there is only one Xiao Zhan left who has the clan crest, well, if you count Xiao Chen who is trapped in the demon fire space, there are two people.
After the coming-of-age ceremony is completed, you can obtain the qualification to enter the Douqi Pavilion to find exercises, and the clansmen under the seventh paragraph will lose this right, and as soon as the coming-of-age ceremony is over, they will be assigned to various industries of the family, unless they perform well or catch up with other outstanding clansmen in the cultivation speed in the future, otherwise it will be difficult to become the family's key training target again, although in the past few years, because Xiao Zhan has brought back a lot of Xiao clan's fighting techniques, the Xiao family's growth, the coming-of-age ceremony has undergone some changes.
It has been changed to a clansman whose fighting spirit has not reached the standard, and only those who have passed can choose the high-level fighting skills above.
There is a big difference between the high-level fighting technique and the ground-level fighting technique in terms of the speed and power of cultivating the fighting qi, as long as a person has a pursuit, they all want to obtain the high-level fighting technique.
Therefore, the young people of the Xiao family who should be of the right age are all extremely hard working to cultivate, just to pass the test at the coming-of-age ceremony.
And in the month before the coming-of-age ceremony of the Xiao family, all the participants need to participate in a prediction, and the function of the prediction is naturally to eliminate those who fail the fighting spirit, and screen out those clansmen whose fighting spirit is above the seventh stage.
"Next, Xiao Yan!"
When Xiao Yan's name was shouted, all eyes looked at him.
Not only because he fell from a genius and sank in the early years, but also because of the three-year covenant set by the patriarch, after the three-year agreement, somehow, Xiao Yan's cultivation talent seemed to have recovered.
There were many people in the Xiao family who noticed the change in his strength.
In the end, it all came down to the help of the patriarch.
However, no one knows whether Xiao Yan will be able to reach the seventh stage of Dou Qi before the coming-of-age ceremony, after all, it is really too short, and it is really a bit unbelievable to improve the fourth stage of Dou Qi in a year.
Xiao Yan's expression was calm, without the slightest nervousness.
Under the gaze of everyone, he walked to the top of the magic stone tablet, put his palm on the magic stone tablet, and five bright big characters suddenly sounded, "Fighting Qi, eight paragraphs!" ”
Wow!
Like a stone falling into the calm water, it suddenly caused countless ripples, and all the onlookers around were shocked.
Xiao Yan really did it.
Before the coming-of-age ceremony, he not only improved his strength to the seventh stage of Dou Zhiqi, but even improved it to the eighth stage of Dou Qi a month in advance, and there was still one month left, so maybe Xiao Yan would break through to the ninth stage of Dou Qi.
In a trance, everyone in the Xiao family seemed to see the genius of the Xiao family rise again.
A month later, the Xiao family's coming-of-age ceremony, unlike the tests conducted within the family, the Xiao family's coming-of-age ceremony, because it is a certain tradition of the Xiao family, so there are many observers, these people are either nobles from Utan City, or they have extraordinary status.
Naturally, the person who held this ceremony also changed from an unknown member of the Xiao family to the second elder Xiao Ying.
"Xiao Yan, Dou Qi Nine Rank!"
Just like a month ago, the five words like a dragon flying and dancing like a phoenix appeared.
Xiao Yan's strength has improved another period within a month.
The Second Elder witnessed this scene with his own eyes. He didn't understand what the patriarch had done, but Xiao Yan's cultivation talent was able to return, obviously what the patriarch had done in it, although the three-year covenant, it didn't matter what the outcome was, even if he won, as a disciple of the sect master of the Yunlan Sect of Nalan Yanran, this marriage contract would eventually be dissolved, but the patriarch was still as competitive as ever.
The people of the Xiao family have been shocked by Xiao Yan a month ago.
So when I saw this scene again, although I was a little shocked, I was barely able to accept it.
Only those who watched the ceremony were shocked in words to describe it.
Xiao Yan's talent was superb, but after all, it was once, I don't want to sink for three years, Xiao Yan will rise again, if his talent does not disappear this time, the Xiao family will have one more fighting king in the future, and even ...... Fight the Emperor Strong!
As long as any small family in the Gama Empire has a strong man at the level of the Dou Huang, then this family, no matter what limitations it has, its status will also rise with Lima, and at that time, even the three major families of the Gama Empire will not dare to take a suppressive posture against it, after all, the strong man at the level of the Dou Huang Empire, in this great empire, there are only a handful of two or three, and each of them has the ability to turn the world upside down, with the ability of one enemy and ten thousand, and there is no rational empire, will easily choose to offend a Douhuang powerhouse!
It is rumored that the patriarch of the Xiao family was already a Douling powerhouse ten years ago, and I don't know if his strength has improved in the past ten years.
On the VIP seat, many spectators set their eyes on Xiao Zhan's face, who was sitting calmly on the viewing seat.
It is also strange to say that this Xiao family patriarch obviously has such a strong strength, but he never deliberately shows his strength, otherwise, if he is willing, I am afraid that he will already be famous in the Gamma Empire.
"Second Elder, am I already qualified?"
Xiao Yan looked at the Second Elder and said.
The second elder gathered his thoughts, came back to his senses, and nodded, "Dou Zhi Qi Ninth Rank, you are very good, you have lived up to the expectations of the patriarch. ”
"Thank you!" Hearing the second elder mention his father, Xiao Yan thanked him.
"According to the rules, after completing the coming-of-age ceremony, Xiao Yan still has to accept a challenge, the strength of the challenger is under the fighter, who of you will come?" The second elder looked at the group of young people again and asked.
For a long time, no one came forward.
After all, Xiao Yan's strength is already the ninth stage of Dou Qi, and below the fighter, if you want to compete with him, you must have at least the strength of the ninth stage. Not to mention that he had become a fighter at the beginning, and he had experience above the fighter.
Just when the second elder thought that no one was willing to challenge, suddenly, a girl in a green shirt stood up.
The girl's age is younger than Xiao Yan, and she is delicate and cute, especially her waist is extremely thin, giving people a feeling of being able to hold it.
"Sister Green Scales......" Xiao Yan looked at the girl who appeared in front of him, and a wry smile appeared on his face.
The other party was the green scale that was brought back to the Xiao family by Xiao Zhan, the extra sister he had.
