Chereads / btth: reincarnated as a half-saint / Chapter 21 - Chapter 21: Xiao Yan

Chapter 21 - Chapter 21: Xiao Yan

, the girl in purple skirt, is many times more beautiful and more elegant than Xiao Mei. No wonder everyone present is acting like this.

With lotus steps, the girl named Xiao Xun'er walked to the front of the magic stone tablet, stretched out her small hand, and the purple sleeve inlaid with black and gold threads slid down, revealing a piece of snow-white and tender wrist, and then lightly touched the stone tablet...

After a moment of silence, the dazzling light shone again above the stone tablet.

"Xiao Xun'er, fighting spirit, eighth stage!"

The middle-aged man who was watching the stone tablet showing the eighth stage of fighting spirit also froze in his tracks and spoke slowly.

He had never expected that Xiao Xun'er's talent was so terrifying. She had already reached the eighth stage of Dou Qi at the age of thirteen. She would be able to become a Dou Zhe next year, right?

"Oh my god, Xiao Xun'er actually jumped directly from the fifth stage of Dou Qi last year to the eighth stage now. This is too amazing."

"… She has actually reached the eighth stage. How terrifying! It seems that the second young person in the family must be Miss Xun'er."

That's right, the second person, the first person was the former genius Xiao Yan.

After the noise, the surrounding family disciples all swallowed their saliva involuntarily, their eyes filled with awe...

In response, Xiao Xun'er's calm little face did not show any joy because of the praises from those around her. Instead, she turned around quietly and silently looked behind the crowd.

Fighting Qi is the only way for every fighter. The initial fighting Qi is divided into one to ten stages. When the fighting Qi in the body reaches the tenth stage, it can condense the fighting Qi cyclone and become a respected fighter!

In the crowd, Xiao Mei frowned and stared at the purple-skirted girl in front of the stone tablet, with an ugly look on her cheeks.

She is a genius among the Xiao family's direct descendants, and also a leader among the younger generation in the Xiao family.

I thought that my sixth level of fighting spirit would shine in this family test, but I didn't expect that it would be completely defeated by Xiao Xun'er's eighth level of fighting spirit.

This made her very unhappy, and she even felt a little jealous!

"Xiao Yan."

"It's your turn, come up."

The middle-aged man beside the magic monument looked at Xiao Yan who was standing at the back of the crowd and said indifferently.

Xiao Yan raised his head, looked at the magic stele, clenched his hands, and walked towards the test stele.

Xiao Xun'er, who was standing by, watched Xiao Yan approach the stone tablet and quickly ran over, holding Xiao Yan's arm and encouraging him, "Come on, Brother Xiao Yan, I believe in you!"

"Xun'er."

Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Xun'er and forced a smile on his melancholy face: "I will."

Then he stretched out his right arm and placed it on the stone tablet. The magic tablet glowed with light, and two lines of words appeared:

"Fighting spirit, fourth stage."

The middle-aged man did not show any surprise at this, but read it out calmly, as if he had already expected it.

"What! Xiao Yan has reached the fourth stage of Dou Qi?"

The surroundings suddenly became lively again.

However, this time, the crowd was not excited, but filled with endless ridicule and a hint of regret.

"Haha, it's just as I expected. This genius has regressed again."

"It's actually the fourth level of fighting spirit, which is lower than mine!"

"Alas, how could the talented young man who was once famous in Wutan City fall to this state now?"

"Who knows? He's at the fourth level this year, but who knows, he might be at the third level next year."

The ridicule and sighs of regret coming from all around fell into the ears of Xiao Yan, who was as thin as a wooden sculpture. It was like a heavy hammer hitting his heart, causing his body to tremble violently.

The boy slowly raised his head, revealing a somewhat delicate and childish face.

His dark eyes scanned woodenly over the mocking peers around him, a hint of bitterness rising up at the corner of his mouth.

"Sure enough, the fighting spirit has not increased but decreased."

Ever since he broke through to the level of a fighter two years ago, not only did the fighting energy that he had painstakingly cultivated for more than a dozen years just condensed disappear overnight.

And no matter how he cultivated, the fighting spirit in his body became less and less with the passage of time, until he dropped from a one-star fighter to the current fourth stage of fighting spirit.

"well…"

Seeing Xiao Yan's miserable appearance, Xiao Mei sighed inexplicably, her expression a little complicated, but soon, she returned to normal.

Now she is no longer in the same class as Xiao Yan. Judging from Xiao Yan's performance in recent years, after he grows up, he can only be a lower-class member of the family at best.

And she, who is gifted, will become a strong person that the family focuses on training, and her future is limitless!

"Humph, have you laughed enough!"

"Brother Xiao Yan, let's go."

Upon seeing this, Xiao Xun'er's face darkened, golden flames flashed in her eyes, and she shouted coldly at those mocking disciples.

She felt that these people were so annoying and disgusting!

Faced with Xiao Xun'er's cold shout, all the disciples fell silent and dared not say anything.

However, there was still a hint of mockery in his eyes when he looked at Xiao Yan.

"good."

Xiao Yan didn't say anything else, but nodded, turned around and walked out of the venue. As he walked, he apologized to Xiao Xun'er beside him: "Xun'er, I'm sorry, I asked you to help me out again."

"It's okay, Brother Xiao Yan, I understand you."

Xiao Xun'er shook her head and smiled, a sweet smile on her face.

Seeing Xiao Xun'er like this, Xiao Yan felt warm in his heart, and a gentle smile appeared on his face. He said softly: "Thank you, Xun'er."

"Brother Xiao Yan, you once told Xun'er that you need to be able to let go before you can pick up. Only when you can let go freely can you be a free person!"

Xiao Xun'er smiled and spoke softly. Her voice was slightly childish, but it was heartwarming.

"A free person? That's all I can say. Look at me now, do I look like a free person? Besides, this world doesn't belong to me in the first place."

Xiao Yan shook his head, a trace of confusion flashed across his eyes, and he muttered to himself, seeming to be mocking himself, and also seemed to be mocking himself.

Facing Xiao Yan's decadence, Xiao Xun'er frowned slightly and said seriously: "Brother Xiao Yan, although I don't know why you have become like this."

"But Xun'er always believes that you will stand up again and take back your glory and dignity, and even become better than before!"

"Haha. Really? I hope so too."

Xiao Yan smiled and stopped talking about this topic. Instead, he changed the subject and said, "You are really amazing, little girl. You have reached the eighth level of fighting spirit without realizing it. You have left me far behind."

"Hehe...Brother Xiao Yan, don't underestimate yourself. In fact, Xun'er is just lucky!" Xiao Xun'er quickly waved her hands and said with a smile.

"Are you lucky?"

Xiao Yan smiled gently and said no more words. He just looked at Xiao Xun'er quietly, with a hint of nostalgia on his face.

The weak little girl who had to rely on his temper to raise her when he was a child is no longer there, and in her place is a talented girl who is the number one of the younger generation of the Xiao family.

And he, the third young master of the Xiao family who was once famous in Wutan City two years ago, has turned into a useless person who cannot even absorb the fighting spirit. It's really fate that plays tricks on people and is so unpredictable.

 The timeline I wrote is the year before Xiao Yan divorced and broke off the engagement. It's not that he had no plan to take Xiao Xun'er in when they were young. Given Xiao Xun'er's current feelings for Xiao Yan, I really can't think of any method to make her fall in love with the protagonist, after all, Doupo is the most affectionate.

  So if there are still book lovers reading, please don't be confused about some of the subsequent plots.

  Finally, the Doupo anime will be updated tomorrow, so exciting.
