5: Obtained Xuan-level fighting skills

The spectator stands had long since erupted, everyone frantically discussing Xiao Lei.

Without even activating Dou Qi, he instantly defeated an opponent with six segments of Dou Qi with a single punch. If that couldn't prove his strength, what could?

"This person seems to have some connection with Yu'er! Can we make use of him?"

Among the Xiao Family Elders, the one who knew Xiao Lei best was undoubtedly the Grand Elder!

Xiao Yu clinging to Xiao Lei wasn't a one-day or two-day affair; the Grand Elder had long since secretly investigated Xiao Lei.

The result of the investigation was, of course, that Xiao Lei was just a small-time nobody with no strength and no background.

Therefore, the Grand Elder had strongly opposed their relationship at the time, directly telling Xiao Yu to break off all contact with Xiao Lei.

Although it was of no use, Xiao Yu continued to pester Xiao Lei as usual.

However, the Grand Elder never went to trouble Xiao Lei, only instructing Xiao Yu not to associate with Xiao Lei.

Later, when Xiao Yu went to Jia Nan Academy, the Grand Elder completely forgot about Xiao Lei.

"Yes, after the coming-of-age ceremony, I'll have Xiao Yu take me to meet this Genius. I must bring him over to my side!"

The Grand Elder glanced at Xiao Zhan, who was beside him and seemed to be doing nothing, and had already decided to win over Xiao Lei.

What exactly was Xiao Zhan doing, hunching his body as if he was about to lay an egg?

There was infighting between families, and within the Family, it was not peaceful either. The struggle for resources and the confrontation for power—which one didn't require strength?

Thus, several Elders present, and even Ya Fei, who was observing from the side, all set their sights on Xiao Lei.

"Why have I never heard of this Xiao Lei? Judging by the scene, no one in the Xiao Family knows his true talent, and this Xiao Lei doesn't seem to be the offspring of any Elder, otherwise I should have known."

"Then, that means Xiao Lei probably didn't receive any special treatment in the Xiao Family all these years, so his sense of belonging won't be strong. There's a possibility of poaching him!"

A businesswoman like Ya Fei would, of course, investigate the Xiao Family, one of Wutan City's three great families. The fact that she had never heard of Xiao Lei could only mean that he had shown no notable performance in the past few years.

"But what should I use to poach him? Now that he has displayed such talent, joining the Cloud Mist Sect wouldn't be a problem, and he naturally wouldn't lack resources then..."

Everyone harbored their own schemes, but Xiao Lei on the stage wasn't thinking that much.

Resources? What's the point of that stuff?

To Cultivate honestly?

Impossible, it's impossible to Cultivate honestly in this lifetime!

Instead of spending that time, it's better to find a suitable target to copy. Then, what cultivation and Dou Technique won't he have!

"Is there anyone else who wants to challenge me? Come forward all at once!"

Xiao Lei scanned the crowd, but no one dared to take half a step forward. Everyone wasn't foolish; Xiao Lei's previous performance undoubtedly proved that his strength was beyond question. Stepping forward to challenge him now would just be seeking death!

"Xiao Ning! What about you? Do you want to challenge me?"

Xiao Lei finally locked his gaze on Xiao Ning. He had long guessed who had instigated Xiao Shan just now, as there weren't many Xiao Family members with whom he had conflicts.

As soon as Xiao Lei said that, everyone in the arena immediately understood, and all eyes instantly gathered on Xiao Ning.

The Grand Elder almost spat a mouthful of blood on Xiao Ning in anger.

You unfilial son! You're ruining my plans! Under the gazes of countless people and Xiao Lei, Xiao Ning felt immense pressure and stammered after a long while.

"Cousin Xiao Lei... you're joking. I'm still playing with mud in the Dou Qi stage, how would I dare to challenge you!"

"Since no one is challenging me, then let's give the stage to others!" Xiao Lei laughed loudly, turned around, and returned to the qualified area.

"Challenges continue, everyone is free to challenge!"

Back in the qualified area, Xiao Lei didn't pay attention to Xiao Ning's reaction but turned his gaze to Xiao Xun Er.

She possessed the Bloodline of a Dou Di!

"Target: A well-known Xiao Family disciple."

"Cultivation: One-star Dou Practitioner."

"Cultivation Technique: Flame Manipulation Art, Profound Rank high-tier."

"Dou Technique: Swallow Reversal Strike..."

..."Heavenly Flame: Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame."

"Bloodline: Ninth-grade Dou Di Bloodline."

"Physique: None."

"Time required for copying: ???"

"Too great a difference, unable to copy."

Xiao Xun Er's various data were clearly displayed on the System panel.

"Damn it, I can't copy it!"

"But thinking about it, it makes sense. I'm just a blank slate Great Dou Master right now. Leaving everything else aside, the gap between this Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame and me is simply too vast!"

"Flame Manipulation Art? A technique to manipulate Xiao Yan? Interesting!"

"This Cultivation Technique is the one mentioned in the original work that Xiao Xun Er gave to Xiao Yan. It seems Xiao Xun Er was also Cultivating this Cultivation Technique at the time!"

"However, this is also reasonable. After all, Xiao Xun Er is only a Dou Practitioner now, so a Profound Rank high-tier is already sufficient. As for the Bloodline grade, it should be because Xiao Xun Er is still young."

Although Xiao Xun Er's strength was low, her other aspects were too Heaven-Defying, so Xiao Lei could only temporarily give up.

"Let's get Xiao Yan's Octane Blast!" With this in mind, Xiao Lei turned his gaze to Xiao Yan.

Thus, Xiao Yan saw Xiao Lei, who was also in the qualified area, looking at him.

"Did this Xiao Lei discover my secret!" Xiao Yan subconsciously clutched his storage ring.

"Target: A well-known Xiao Family disciple."

"Cultivation: Eight segments of Dou Qi."

"Cultivation Technique: None."

"Dou Technique: Octane Blast, Profound Rank high-tier; Flame Blasting Palm..."

..."Physique: None."

"Copy time: Three minutes."

"Copy?"

Xiao Lei hadn't expected the copying time to be so short. This was thanks to Xiao Yan's strength being too weak relative to his own. Although he possessed three Profound Rank Dou Techniques, he couldn't stir up much trouble.

"It's a pity he hasn't Cultivated the Flame Mantra yet, nor has he become an Alchemist. Otherwise, I could take them all. But there's no need to rush; this charging treasure can be used continuously!"

Xiao Lei had already set his mind on Cultivating the Flame Mantra. After all, when he was staring at Xiao Xun Er earlier, he had seen the option for Heavenly Flames.

So, it seems the System can copy Heavenly Flames, which means absorbing Heavenly Flames would be stress-free. In that case, not choosing the Flame Mantra would be a problem with his brain!

He wouldn't have to suffer at all when absorbing Heavenly Flames, and he would enjoy all the benefits.

It was important to know that there were many Heavenly Flame possessors that Xiao Lei knew of. As long as he planned well and utilized the System mechanism, he couldn't guarantee all twenty-two Heavenly Flames, but ten would be completely stress-free!

The Flame Mantra was related to the Legacy of the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe, and Xiao Lei still wanted to hold his destiny in his own hands, rather than waiting for Xiao Yan to carry him.

He was the protagonist!

Just like the coming-of-age ceremony now, everyone's eyes and attention were on him.

"Copy successful, obtained three Profound Rank Dou Techniques..."

Soon, Xiao Lei obtained Xiao Yan's three great Dou Techniques. Because Xiao Yan's strength was far below Xiao Lei's, Xiao Yan felt very little discomfort, only that being stared at by Xiao Lei made him feel as if his backside was being watched by something.

It was truly chilling!

Information about the three great Dou Techniques flashed through Xiao Lei's mind, and he immediately mastered them, requiring no practice at all.

Xiao Lei quickly began his second copy, the target naturally being Xiao Yan's Soul Strength.

"Copy successful, obtained Early Stage Mortal Realm Soul Strength."

The Soul Strength problem that had plagued Xiao Lei for over a decade was solved in one fell swoop. Although the Soul Strength copied from Xiao Yan was still somewhat weak compared to Xiao Lei's Great Dou Master strength, it was countless times better than Xiao Lei's previous situation.

"Who should I choose as the next target? I really need to think about it carefully..."
