Chapter 3 Test
Xiao Chen walked through the crowd in the square and came to Xiao Xun'er, then heard Xiao Xun'er's voice.

"Brother Xiao Chen, congratulations."

At this moment, a beautiful smile appeared on Xiao Xun'er's delicate face and she said.

Xiao Chen knew that Xiao Xun'er was definitely stronger than him. After all, Xiao Xun'er had a father who was at the peak of the Nine-Star Douluo.

While Xiao Chen and Xiao Xun'er were talking, the middle-aged man's shouting was heard again in the center of the square.

"Next, Xiao Xun'er"

Hearing this, Xiao Xun'er greeted Xiao Chen, then walked towards the dark magic stone tablet with light steps.

Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Xun'er's graceful figure, which attracted the attention of everyone around him.

At this moment, Xiao Xun'er's cold and indifferent temperament is like a lotus just blooming. At such a young age, she has already begun to show a refined temperament. It is hard to imagine how stunningly beautiful she will be when she grows up.
After a while.

Xiao Xun'er came to the magic stone tablet, stretched out her little hand, and her purple sleeve inlaid with black and gold threads slid down, revealing a piece of snow-white and tender wrist, and then she lightly touched the stone tablet.

A moment later, a light burst out from the stone tablet, and several large characters written in a flamboyant style appeared on the stone tablet.

"Xiao Xun'er, fighting spirit: ninth stage! Level: advanced!"

Looking at the words on the stone tablet, the scene fell into silence, and then exclamations were heard.

"Ms. Xun'er, you've actually reached the ninth level. That's terrifying!"

"This cultivation talent"

At this time, everyone in the square was talking and praising, their tone full of awe.

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, one can condense the fighting Qi cyclone and become a respected fighter!
At this time, the middle-aged tester said to Xiao Xun'er in a slightly respectful voice:

"Miss Xun'er, in half a year, you should be able to condense the vortex of fighting spirit. If you succeed, you will become a true fighter! Congratulations!"

"Thank you."

Xiao Xun'er nodded slightly, and immediately walked down from the platform with light lotus steps.

"Brother Xiao Chen, how is it?"

Xiao Xun'er walked up to Xiao Chen, a smile appeared on her face, and she said playfully.

"sharp."

Xiao Chen stretched out his fair arms and rubbed Xiao Xun'er's head, praising her.

Xiao Xun'er looked at Xiao Chen's actions, glanced at the people around her with her beautiful eyes, and a blush like the sunset appeared on her delicate cheeks.

The people around looked at Xiao Xun'er's shy face, then looked at Xiao Chen beside her, their eyes full of envy and jealousy.

Such a good girl is a bargain for Xiao Chen.

Finally, under the jealous gazes of the people around him, Xiao Chen reached out and held Xiao Xun'er's tender little hand and left the square.

At this time, in the middle of the platform, Xiao Zhan looked at the backs of Xiao Chen and Xiao Xun'er walking away, sighed in his heart, and said:
"Xun'er is not a simple girl. Chen'er, he..."

night.

The moon is like a silver plate, and the sky is filled with stars.

On the top of the cliff, Xiao Yan lay diagonally on the grass, holding a piece of green grass in his mouth, chewing it slightly, letting the slight bitterness spread in his mouth.
"Brother Chen, who do you think Nalan Yanran will choose?"

Suddenly, Xiao Yan sat up from the grass, looked at Xiao Chen who was lying beside him, and asked.

Hearing this, Xiao Chen fell into deep thought.
Because of Xiao Chen's appearance, the engagement between the Xiao family and the Nalan family has also undergone some changes.
In the original novel, arranged marriages did not occur.

Instead, it was up to Nalan Yanran to choose whether to be with Xiao Chen or Xiao Yan to fulfill the marriage agreement between the two family heads.
"It's definitely not me, because I already have Xun'er."

"Xiao Yanzi, women will only affect the speed of your cultivation." After a moment, Xiao Chen said lightly, with a hint of strangeness in his voice.

“I heard that Nalan Yanran has been accepted as a disciple by the leader of the Yunlan Sect.” Xiao Yan shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Just when Xiao Chen wanted to say something, suddenly, a voice came from not far away.

"Chen'er, Yan'er, why are you still up there so late?"

Xiao Zhan's concerned voice reached the ears of Xiao Chen and Xiao Yan.

Xiao Chen looked in the direction of the voice and saw Xiao Zhan dressed in luxurious grey clothes. He walked with the gait of a dragon or a tiger, looking quite majestic. The pair of thick eyebrows on his face made him look even more heroic.

"Father, why are you here?" Xiao Yan asked first.

"Yan'er, are you still thinking about the afternoon test?"

Xiao Zhan said as he strode forward and smiled.

"Haha, what's there to think about? It's just as expected."

Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Zhan, shook his head and smiled.There was helplessness and doubt in the voice.

Originally, he was a genius.

For no reason he became a loser.

This gap between heaven and hell was so huge that even Xiao Yan felt a little sad and couldn't accept or understand it.

"Yan'er, you are fifteen years old, right? You will have your coming-of-age ceremony in another year..."

Xiao Zhan glanced at Xiao Chen and Xiao Yan, their somewhat immature and pretty faces, and smiled bitterly.

Xiao Chen and Xiao Yan looked at each other. Xiao Yan had some helplessness in his eyes, but Xiao Chen had a strange look in his eyes that was difficult for others to detect.
The coming-of-age ceremony, anyone who has passed the coming-of-age ceremony will be eligible to enter the Douqi Pavilion to seek for Douqi techniques, and thus be selected by the family for training.
Those who have not completed the coming of age ceremony will be assigned to various properties of the family to take care of ordinary matters for the family.
"I'm sorry, Yan'er, if your fighting spirit doesn't reach the seventh level in a year, then your father will have to reluctantly assign you to the family business."

"This is the clan rule of the Xiao family. Even as the clan leader, I cannot change it. And those old guys are always waiting for me to make a mistake so that they can use it as an excuse to make trouble."

"As for Chen'er, please break through to the seventh level as soon as possible within this year."

Xiao Zhan looked at Xiao Yan with a concerned look and sighed apologetically, with some helplessness in his tone.

It’s not easy to be the patriarch!
"Father, I will work hard. In a year, I will definitely reach the seventh level of Dou Qi!" Hearing this, Xiao Yan smiled and comforted him.

Xiao Chen also nodded and responded.

"As for the agreement with the Nalan family, you two can decide for yourselves!"

Xiao Zhan looked at Xiao Chen and Xiao Yan, sighed, and said helplessly.

"Okay, it's getting late, you should go back and rest early."

After Xiao Zhan finished speaking, he waved his hand and turned to leave.

Xiao Chen watched Xiao Zhan's figure disappear into the night, turned around, and was about to say something to Xiao Yan to comfort him when he caught a glimpse of him out of the corner of his eye.

However, he saw that the dark and simple ring on Xiao Yan's finger suddenly lit up with an extremely faint and strange light, which disappeared in the blink of an eye.
But it still did not escape Xiao Chen's sharp eyes.

It seems that Yao Lao is about to wake up.

"Don't worry, father, I will do my best! I will never let you down!" Xiao Yan muttered to himself as he looked at the direction where Xiao Zhan's figure disappeared.

Obviously, Xiao Yan did not notice the change in the ring on his hand.
"Xiao Yanzi, come on!"

Xiao Chen walked up to Xiao Yan, stretched out his hand and patted Xiao Yan's shoulder, encouraging him.
