The Xiao Clan's Battle Arena was the largest battle arena in the Xiao Clan. The area was extremely wide and it was about a thousand feet wide. The entire arena was made up of a hump that had been cut horizontally. It had once hosted countless battles within the clan. Even the clan gathering would be held here.
For many years, the stone platform had been eroded by time and the impact of battles. However, there weren't many traces left on it. Usually, there would be many disciples of the Xiao Clan sparring and training here.
Today's Battle Arena had undoubtedly welcomed the most exciting moment in the past two years. This was because the ones who were going to fight on the stage were the most powerful younger generation in the Xiao Clan and … Xiao Yan, whose name had spread throughout the Xiao Clan within a short month!
Most importantly, this battle wasn't just a battle between the most powerful generation. Even the entire event was related to the fate of Xiao Yan and his ancestor, Xiao Xuan. It could be said to be a matter of survival!
Around the fighting arena, there were rows of seats that were connected to the stone platform itself. At this moment, the seats that few people usually stepped on were filled with a black mass of heads. There were even many people who rushed over from outside the arena, pouring in continuously like a tide.
This time around, the exchange between Xiao Yan and Xiao Lei had indeed attracted the attention of quite a number of members of the Xiao clan. This was especially the case for the younger generation of the Xiao clan. They were even more curious. Compared to the peak experts among the younger generation of the Xiao clan, just what kind of strength did this clan member, who had returned from the outside world, possess?
Even though they had heard many things about Xiao Yan before this, curiosity and suspicion were human instincts. Everything couldn't be considered true before they witnessed it with their own eyes. Today, it was the best opportunity to verify all the rumors!
At the top of the seats on both sides of the Martial Arts Arena, there were some seats that were clearly more luxurious. At this moment, a portion of the clan's elders who held authority were seated on these seats. These people were basically invited by Xiao Dingtian. From their current positions, they were able to look down from a high vantage point, allowing them to see every single part of the arena.
At this very moment, two handsome young men were standing in the middle of the fighting arena. If one were to carefully look at them, there was indeed less of the arrogance that belonged to a young man between the brows of these two people. Instead, there was a weather-beaten calmness and introspection. The few years of training outside allowed the two of them to have an even broader understanding of this continent. Not only had their strength increased, even their intelligence and physiques were greatly different from those of the same age.
Looking at the eager faces of their peers in the surrounding viewing platform, the two of them couldn't help but look at each other. After which, they helplessly shrugged their shoulders and didn't say anything.
At the top of the stone platform, Xiao Dingtian looked at the noisy crowd below and the stone platform that was still empty. He couldn't help but frown slightly. Looking at the situation on the stone tablet, it was obvious that Xiao Yan had left a spiritual imprint on the iron tablet. However, it had been a long time. Why hadn't the latter appeared?
"What is going on? Looking at the color of the sky, it is clearly close to noon. It has been four to six hours since the beginning of the morning. Why hasn't he appeared yet?"
Xiao Dingtian muttered softly. With a gentle wave of his hand, someone beside him immediately stepped forward to welcome him.
"Immediately go to Xiao Yan's residence to check. It has been so long. Why hasn't he appeared yet? Tell him that if he doesn't appear within an hour, this old man will treat it as him admitting defeat and bear the consequences."
Xiao Dingtian ordered in a low voice. Just as the guard beside him was about to leave, everyone's gazes suddenly turned towards the entrance of the Battle Arena in the next moment. A few figures had unknowingly appeared there. Upon closer inspection, it was surprisingly Xiao Yan and the rest. At this moment, the Third Elder Xiao Mingyuan, Crown Prince Xiao Feng, Xiao Tian and the rest were beside the latter.
"Wow!"
When the main character appeared, the entire Battle Arena was in an uproar. Numerous gazes fell on Xiao Yan. As the main character of today's Battle Arena, Xiao Yan had made everyone wait for a long time. At this moment, the earth-shattering collision that everyone had been anticipating was finally about to arrive!
At the center of the Battle Arena, Xiao Lei and Xiao Zhuobin's gazes had also landed on Xiao Yan, who had arrived late.
"As expected of a Three Star Source Ancestor."
"He only broke through yesterday. With such a cultivation, isn't it a little too much for the two of us to suppress him?"
Sensing Xiao Yan's cultivation, the two brothers couldn't help but curse in their hearts. Xiao Zhuobin even sneered and teased the person beside him.
"This is more or less an order from your biological grandfather. Aren't you afraid that the old man will be disappointed by your words?"
Hearing this, Xiao Lei curled his lips and rolled his eyes at the latter.
"Aren't you afraid? If it wasn't for the fact that we didn't want to be restricted by their pedantic rules, why would the two of us apply to leave the clan to train before even going through the 'Clan Sacrifice'? "
After these words were spoken, the two of them immediately fell silent. They looked at Xiao Yan, who was slowly walking over as if there was no one around him, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Sigh, another pitiful person restrained by pedantry."
"That's right. Although you and I have been ordered to return by the clan, big brother and the rest seem to still be outside."
Xiao Lei looked at Xiao Yan, and his eyes suddenly flashed as he thought of something.
"That's right. It's said that his cultivation is about to break through, and he won't be back for a while. Speaking of which, second sister is still looking for medicinal ingredients for his breakthrough. I met her once a month ago. Tsk tsk, not only has his cultivation risen, even his alchemy skills have neared rank 7."
Xiao Zhuobin frowned and slowly sighed.
"Oh? Rank 7? How terrifying. Even with third elder's alchemy skills, he is at most rank 8. This disciple of his seems to be even more astonishing than him! "
"Hee hee, I have heard earlier that this little brother Xiao Yan of ours seems to be an alchemist of quite a high tier. I wonder just what kind of explosive scene it would be if he were to meet second sister!"
Xiao Lei's words had just faded when Xiao Zhuobin, who was staring at Xiao Yan, let out a burst of laughter. This caused Xiao Lei's eyebrows to twitch again, and he couldn't help but feel a wave of shock in his heart.
If Xiao Yan's mere cultivation of a Three Star Source Ancestor was not enough to surprise him, then if he added his identity as an alchemist, his talent was truly terrifying!
A solemn expression gradually surfaced on Xiao Lei's face as he looked at the skinny figure that was walking over. An outsider was actually able to raise his cultivation and alchemy skills to such an extent. From this, one could see just how strong he was. Compared to these flowers that were being nurtured in a greenhouse within the Xiao clan, Xiao Yan's strength was absolute!
