9 hours later,
Xiao Yuan woke up feeling a sharp pain coursing through his body, a lingering effect from the rigorous cultivation he had undertaken the previous day. Despite the discomfort, he had made significant progress, achieving the status of a 6-star Dou Zhe Qi, a notable accomplishment in his training journey. After a full night of sleep lasting nine hours, he felt a mix of exhaustion and determination. Today held great significance for him, as he planned to extract the Bone Flame Ring, a powerful ring,which stored many powerful techniques pills and etc that he believed would enhance his abilities.
Before he could embark on that important task, there was something else he needed to do: collect Origin Points. According to the tutorial he had studied, these points could be earned by triggering emotions, with more intense feelings resulting in a greater number of points. The thought of this motivated him even further as he prepared for the day.
Dressed in a newly tailored outfit, he wore white clothing trimmed with striking red stripes, complemented by golden accessories that shimmered in the light. The combination created an ethereal and handsome appearance that made him stand out. With a sense of purpose, Xiao Yuan stepped out through the door of his home, ready to face the challenges ahead. His destination was the fighting pavilion of the Xiao family, a place where he could not only train but also encounter opportunities to evoke powerful emotions that would help him gather the Origin Points he sought.
Upon arriving at the fighting pavilion, he was immediately struck by the attention he received. The girls looked at him with warm, affectionate glances, while some of the boys nearby displayed clear signs of jealousy. Among the crowd, a group of girls was walking around, and it was clear that they were notable. This group was led by Xiao Yu, whose slender, fair legs caught the eye and stood out as a defining feature of her appearance.
As Xiao Yuan took in the scene, he noticed Xiao Yu make her way towards him. He felt a mix of surprise and curiosity. After a brief moment of contemplation, she approached him with a friendly demeanor. "Hello, what's your name?" she asked, her voice playful and inviting, adding a lighthearted touch to the atmosphere around them.
Xiao Yuan returned her greeting with a warm smile, feeling at ease in her presence. "My name is Xiao Yuan. You are Senior Sister Xiao Yu, right?" he replied, clearly recognizing her status within the group. Their interaction hinted at the budding connection between them, highlighting the dynamics of admiration and rivalry in the bustling environment of the fighting pavilion.
Another sigh escaped her lips as she thought about the skills and talents of both boys. They were remarkable in their own ways, and each had a unique set of abilities that made them stand out. Xiao Yuan nodded in understanding, fully absorbing the impressive qualities of the young fighters before him. He could see their potential shining brightly, and it made him feel a sense of respect for what they could achieve.
As his mind raced through a brief sequence of thoughts, a decision began to form in his mind. He was going to challenge Xiao Yan. This challenge wasn't about seeking glory or fame. Instead, it was a calculated move to gain insight into Yao Lao's abilities and the system. He needed to know how far away he had to be to extract information effectively. Suddenly, a message flashed in his mind: "Ding...Host must be within a 10-meter radius of a target to extract." An invisible panel appeared, displaying this vital information. At just 5 years old, he was already ready to make a bold move.
With confidence brimming inside him, he declared, "Young Master Xiao Yan, I would like to challenge you!" His voice was steady, ringing with determination. In the 21st century, he had trained rigorously in various martial arts, including Kung Fu, Taekwondo, Judo, and more. He believed he had the skill to take on Xiao Yan, knowing that his opponent likely wouldn't be able to unleash all his dou qi attacks.
Xiao Yan, having just secured victory in his previous match, was caught off guard by the sudden challenge from this handsome young boy who appeared to be only a year older than him. He looked at Xiao Yuan with a mix of surprise and irritation. Without wasting too much time, he replied, "I accept." His face reflected his annoyance, yet there was also an underlying current of intrigue about the challenge ahead.
With an enthusiastic roar from the crowd, Xiao Yan confidently stepped onto the ground, feeling the exhilaration of the cheers from the girls. Their voices filled the air, creating an atmosphere charged with excitement. As the battle commenced, Xiao Yuan, his opponent, swiftly closed the distance between them. In a quick and powerful motion, he slammed Xiao Yan into the ground, the impact echoing throughout the arena.
The sound of the clash was unmistakable: 'Thud...Thud...bang.' With each strike, Xiao Yuan relentlessly pressed forward, moving closer to Xiao Yan. This time, he channeled a small amount of dou qi into his fist. With one decisive punch, he sent Xiao Yan flying out of the arena, unable to harness any of his techniques in defense. The match, which lasted only a few minutes, concluded with Xiao Yuan standing victorious.
The audience sat in stunned silence, their minds racing with disbelief. The boys were taken aback, caught off guard by the sudden turn of events. Meanwhile, the girls who had initially rooted for Xiao Yan were shocked as well; many thought he would secure the win in just a few moments, captivated not only by his skills but also by his appearance. Amid the commotion, Xiao Yu, a keen observer of the match, could not help but accept the outcome, though she found herself in awe of Xiao Yuan's unexpected display of strength and prowess.
After the battle came to a close, Xiao Yuan hurried over to Xiao Yan. He offered his assistance to help him stand up, showcasing his readiness to lend a helping hand. However, this act was not motivated by pity; instead, it was driven by a more calculated purpose—an intention to extract valuable resources. As Xiao Yuan focused on the task at hand, a notification panel suddenly appeared in his mind, announcing, "Ding... Host has 100 origin points. Do you wish to extract the boneflame ring?"
In response to this prompt, Xiao Yuan's thoughts quickly organized into a clear directive. He mentally commanded the system, stating, "Extract all items from the boneflame ring except for Yao Lao's soul. Additionally, extract the Bone Chilling Flame." Moments later, the system replied with another notification, "Ding... Extraction successful. You have received Burning Jue, 66 techniques, and qi methods, along with 189 unknown pills. You have also received the Bone Chilling Flame,black demon cauldron and 900 million gold coins."{Items Stored in Panel #003}
As the details of the extraction unfolded on the notification panel, Xiao Yan managed to regain his footing, standing tall once again. Observing this, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but smile, feeling a sense of satisfaction at the successful extraction of powerful resources and valuable items.
