Battle Through the Heavens: Obtaining the Inheritance of a Dou Di at the Start

Chapter 6 Training Ground, Complete Victory over Xiao Yan

Time flew by, and things progressed much as Xiao Ce had predicted.

No matter how mature four-year-old Xun'er is, she can't stop Xiao Ce from being "cunning and shrewd," and their feelings for each other grow deeper day by day.

Xiao Yan also gradually showed his talent over the years, reaching the ninth level of Dou Qi at the young age of ten, which caused a sensation.

If he hadn't given up his Qi Gathering Powder spot to his second brother, Xiao Li, he probably would have already broken through to the Dou Zhe level.

Compared to him, Xiao Ce, who was only eleven years old and had reached the eighth level of Dou Qi, could be considered a genius, but he was not exactly amazing.

Training ground!

The training ground was surrounded by young members of the Xiao family, a dense crowd of people, all staring intently at the two boys standing opposite each other in the center of the training ground.

The person on the left is dressed in a black outfit, with a delicate and youthful face, and a slightly arrogant air between his brows.

It was Xiao Yan.

The boy on the right was dressed in a blue outfit, tall and handsome, with a faint smile on his lips, exuding an air of composure.

It was naturally Xiao Ce.

Years have passed. Although Xiao Ce has always kept a low profile in the clan, his talent and strength are undeniable. No matter how low-key he is, he will inevitably become one of the focus of the clan whenever he appears.

Especially after he defeated Xiao Yan twice in a row, he couldn't keep a low profile even if he wanted to.

Xiao Ce looked at Xiao Yan with a smile and said:

"Cousin Xiao Yan, this is the third time you've challenged me, isn't it?"

"Still not giving up?"

All around, a buzz of whispers and murmurs filled the air.

"Here we go again! Cousin Xiao Yan is challenging Cousin Xiao Ce for the third time. Who do you think will win this time?"

"Is there even a question? If Cousin Xiao Yan were capable of winning, he would have won the first two times already. Why would he have waited for the third challenge?"

"That's true, but I feel that my cousin Xiao Yan is really different this time. I heard that he broke through to the ninth level of Dou Qi half a month ago, and he's just waiting for today to avenge his previous defeat!"

"Today is definitely Xiao Yan's best chance yet!"

"Alright, stop bragging. The first time, Xiao Yan, with his sixth-level Dou Qi, fought Xiao Ce, with his fifth-level Dou Qi, and lost. The second time, Xiao Yan, with his eighth-level Dou Qi, fought Xiao Ce, with his seventh-level Dou Qi, and still lost. This time will probably be no exception!"

Hearing the disapproving voices among the discussions, Xiao Yan couldn't help but purse his lips.

"A bunch of short-sighted fools! Since you all think I'll lose, then I'll win today and show you who the Xiao family's number one genius really is!"

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan's eyes blazed with fighting spirit as he looked at Xiao Ce.

"Xiao Ce, don't get too cocky. The previous two times were just accidents. Do you think I wasn't prepared this time?"

"You're definitely going to lose this time!"

Upon seeing this, Xiao Ce raised an eyebrow and gently shook his head.

The sky cleared up and the rain stopped. It seems like Yan Di thinks he's back to his old self!

Fine, then I'll help him overcome his arrogance and impetuosity one more time!

"In that case, bring it on!"

"Let me see what progress you've made this year."

Xiao Ce reached out and beckoned to Xiao Yan with his finger, a gesture so casual that it ignited the entire audience.

"Go Xiao Ce, cousin!"

"Cousin Xiao Yan will definitely win this time."

Supporters on both sides cheered for the two athletes, instantly raising the atmosphere in the training field.

Several elders of the Xiao family who were watching from the shadows stroked their beards and smiled upon seeing this.

"Young people these days are really getting more and more amazing."

"The Xiao family has a worthy successor!"

Meanwhile, in the center of the training field.

You'll find out soon enough!

Xiao Yan took a deep breath, stomped his feet on the ground, and shot out like an arrow, punching Xiao Ce in the chest with a sharp gust of wind.

Because his cultivation level was higher than Xiao Ce's, Xiao Yan displayed considerable strength, with every move revealing sharpness and brilliance.

However, at the same time he made his move, Xiao Ce also made his move, and did not think of temporarily avoiding the sharp edge because of his lower cultivation level.

On the contrary, Xiao Ce fought extremely aggressively, choosing to confront Xiao Yan head-on.

"Bang bang bang bang bang!"

The two figures crisscrossed the arena, the sounds of fists and feet colliding echoing in the air. Dozens of rounds passed in the blink of an eye, yet Xiao Ce showed no sign of falling behind.

Over the years, Xiao Ce never slacked off for a single day. Thanks to the Yin-Yang Foundation Building Chapter of the "Mysterious Heaven Yin-Yang Dao", Xiao Ce's foundation in the Dou Qi stage was extremely solid. Therefore, although he only had the eighth level of Dou Qi, the depth of his Dou Qi was in no way inferior to Xiao Yan's ninth level of Dou Qi.

The atmosphere around them reached its climax as the two fought fiercely.

"Go, Cousin Xiao Yan! You're definitely the best!"

Behind Xiao Yan, a pretty girl in a pink dress cheered him on in a high-pitched voice.

She is one of Xiao Yan's current biggest fans, Xiao Mei.

Opposite her, a young girl in a blue dress, already showing signs of growing elegance, was also looking at the two intersecting figures in the center of the training field. Her eyes, as bright as stars, shone with a hint of admiration.

Gu Xun'er, no, now it's Xiao Xun'er, after hearing Xiao Mei cheering for Xiao Yan, immediately joined in cheering for Xiao Ce.

"Go, Xiao Ce! You're the best!"

When Xiao Ce was not around, Xiao Xun'er was always aloof and quiet, as if she were surrounded by an aura that kept strangers away.

But in front of Xiao Ce, she was an innocent and lively little sister.

On the other side, several young members of the Xiao family, led by Xiao Ning, stood together.

Xiao Ning felt incredibly jealous watching Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Mei cheering for the two on the field.

"It's one thing for Cousin Xiao Mei, but why is Cousin Xun'er like this too? She's usually not very talkative."

"Is it simply because Xiao Ce is highly talented?"

"No, the reason why my cousin Xun'er is closer to Xiao Ce is because she lives next door to him. Sigh, if I had known that, I would have taken the initiative to try to win her over back then."

Just as Xiao Ning was muttering with regret, the battle in the center of the training ground had already reached a fever pitch.

Xiao Yan grew increasingly anxious as he fought, putting all his strength into every attack. However, Xiao Ce was like an invisible wall, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't budge him an inch.

The advantage that a ninth-level Dou Qi master has over an eighth-level Dou Qi master seems to be nonexistent in front of Xiao Ce.

"This guy's battle qi is clearly one level lower than mine, how did he manage to do that?"

Xiao Yan cursed inwardly, a resolute glint flashing in his eyes.

We can't drag this out any longer, otherwise he might not be able to defeat Xiao Ce even if he exhausts his fighting spirit.

Since that's the case...

Xiao Yan took a deep breath, and his Dou Qi surged wildly within him, all of which was poured into his right palm at this moment.

"Xiao Ce, let's see how you handle this palm strike!"

Xiao Yan shouted, and the next second, a faint yellow halo appeared on his right palm, and a sharp force gathered in his palm.

"Low-level Yellow Rank, Stone-Shattering Palm!"

This palm strike was more ferocious than any of his previous attacks.

The palm strike whistled through the air, carrying an aura capable of splitting rocks and shattering stones, and slammed violently towards Xiao Ce's chest.

The surrounding audience held their breath.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Xun'er revealed a faint smile on her fair face.

Xiao Yan actually used the Stone-Shattering Palm in front of his brother Xiao Ce; it was simply showing off his limited skills before an expert.

As one of the few people who knew Xiao Ce's background, Xiao Xun'er was well aware of how profound Xiao Ce's skill in the Shattering Stone Palm technique was.

Sure enough, the moment Xiao Yan made his move, a slight smile appeared on Xiao Ce's lips.

"Stone-crushing Palm?"

"Coincidentally, I also know how to say 'a little bit'."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Ce raised his right hand at the same moment, a bright yellow halo gathered in his palm, and then he struck out with his palm.

It was the same Stone-Shattering Palm technique, but the aura it unleashed was completely different from that of Xiao Yan's Stone-Shattering Palm.

To Xiao Yan's astonishment, their two palms suddenly met in mid-air.

"Bang!"

A muffled thud sounded in the air.

Xiao Ce stood still, unmoved, but Xiao Yan felt a tremendous force strike him, which traveled through his right palm and throughout his body.

Then, as if struck by a charging monster, he flew backward, his feet leaving the ground, and crashed heavily to the ground.

In an instant, the entire room fell silent.

Using the same fighting techniques, and with Xiao Yan's skill level even surpassing Xiao Ce's, their fates were completely opposite.

Xiao Yan, who had fallen to the ground, was equally dumbfounded.

"This...this is the Stonecrushing Palm?"
