On the arena, Xiao Yan slowly walked to the center of the arena. When he felt the two gazes that were directed at him, he shook his head gently to get rid of the tiredness in his mind. He then cupped his fist towards the two and said,
"Xiao Yan."
"Xiao Lei."
"Xiao Zhuobin!"
Xiao Lei, who was wearing a purple robe, took a step forward and cupped his fist in response. Xiao Zhuobin, who was wearing a green robe, raised his chin and followed with a smile.
On the Elders' seats, Xiao Dingtian slowly stood up from his seat when he saw that Xiao Yan had finally entered the arena. At the same time, the remaining clan elders on both sides also followed suit and stood up. Their gazes immediately landed on Xiao Yan's three man group below. This was especially the case when they looked at Xiao Lei and Xiao Yan. Admiration that could not be hidden surged out from their turbid old eyes.
Everyone present was naturally familiar with Xiao Lei and Xiao Zhuobin. The two of them were the grandsons of Xiao Gan and Xiao Dingtian, respectively. They also had quite a bit of prestige in the Xiao clan. Especially after returning from their training, their cultivation had increased by quite a bit. After this, the clan would definitely entrust them with important tasks. Their futures could be said to be bright.
Forget about Xiao Yan's status within the Xiao clan in the future. Whether he would be able to stay in the clan was another matter altogether.
"Xiao Yan, since you have left your soul imprint on the 'Broad Boundary Tablet' today, no one can change the result of this battle. If you can win against Xiao Lei and Xiao Zhuobin, you can participate in the clan gathering. Otherwise …"
"If I lose, I will leave on my own and never come back."
Before Xiao Dingtian's voice from the Elders' seats sounded, an indifferent voice suddenly sounded and interrupted him. At this moment, Xiao Yan had also slowly turned his head. His gaze stared at the old man seated at the top of the seats. The expression in his eyes was indifferent.
"Haha, you have some courage."
At this moment, a short and fat old man slowly walked over from beside Xiao Dingtian. His gaze similarly paused on Xiao Yan. After which, he exchanged glances with Xiao Zhuobin and smiled in return. Only then did he look at the person in front of him.
"Hmph, it's just a battle of words. In front of absolute strength, he has no chance of winning."
Xiao Dingtian stared at Xiao Yan and spoke coldly.
"Old fellow, you're even more stubborn than me. It's only a junior, so why do you have to lower yourself to go against him? After all, those words of yours are only guesses. Isn't it a bit too heartless to chase them out of the clan before it's verified?"
Xiao Gan looked down at Xiao Yan and said in an indifferent voice.
"Heh, it's this old man's fault. Didn't you also violate this kid's taboo when you took the Sumeru Grass that day? I'm afraid he won't let it go."
Xiao Dingtian smiled mockingly. The latter couldn't help but curl his lips. After all, Xiao Dingtian was in charge of everything in the clan. He could even capture some of Xiao Dingtian's movements in such detail.
Then, he explained, "Among the juniors of the clan, only Tian 'er's cultivation is the weakest. Although it has something to do with age, it's not a solution for him to remain at the peak of the Origin Emperor realm. He had no choice but to take the Sumeru Grass. Moreover, this old man has already given Xiao Xuan a chance. If he really attacked, I wouldn't be able to stop him with just thirty percent of his strength."
"Don't you feel that Xiao Xuan is a bit strange?"
Hearing this, Xiao Dingtian was slightly surprised. He quickly recalled what had happened recently, especially what had happened to Xiao Xuan. He couldn't help but voice his doubts.
"You're talking about his cultivation?"
Xiao Gan raised his eyebrows. The latter immediately nodded and said, "That's right.
He comprehended two Great Dao Powers at the same time. With such powerful battle prowess, his cultivation actually stopped at the peak of the Origin Emperor realm. Even if he really has a wasted bloodline, it shouldn't be like this. "
"Could it be because of the cultivation technique?"
After pondering for a moment, Xiao Gan spoke with a doubtful expression. However, he immediately shook his head, unable to come to a conclusion.
"The Returnance Art is the most profound cultivation technique in the world. However, once the three volumes of the cultivation technique are gathered in one's body, one's cultivation will never encounter a bottleneck before the Origin Saint realm. However, Xiao Xuan's situation doesn't seem to be caused by cultivating the Returnance Art."
As if he understood Xiao Gan's thoughts, Xiao Dingtian slowly shook his head and sighed softly. Then, his gaze fell again and looked at the arena.
Although there were quite a lot of words between the two old men, on the whole, it was merely a passing thought. At this moment in the arena, Xiao Yan had once again withdrawn his gaze. After a simple courteous introduction between the three of them, they were finally about to welcome the fight that everyone was looking forward to.
"Haha, since you've come to the Xiao clan, this is your home. You don't have to leave. Brother Xiao Yan, you don't have to worry about that old man's crazy words."
Xiao Lei frowned and glanced at the two old men on the arena. The two of them shrugged their shoulders and curled their lips with a strange expression. Then, they laughed mischievously at Xiao Yan.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel stunned. His emotions were also slightly stirred.
Compared to the other members of the Xiao clan, the two young men in front of him gave him a feeling of kinship. At the very least, their eyes were much more direct when they looked at him. They were unlike the other members of the Xiao clan, who were filled with hesitation and hesitation.
"Haha, how about this? Between the two of us, I'm the older one. Therefore, Zhuobin will accompany you in the first battle. Otherwise, the two old men will make things difficult for you."
Xiao Lei patted Xiao Zhuobin's shoulder and smiled at Xiao Yan.
Hearing this, Xiao Zhuobin immediately nodded. Then, he smiled at Xiao Yan and said, "That's good.
"That's fine as well. I was just curious as well. As an alchemist, to what extent can your combat strength reach?"
Xiao Yan's heart involuntarily felt a little moved when he saw the sincere smiles that were revealed on the faces of the two of them. Only people who revealed their true feelings in this manner could be considered true blood relatives.
Xiao Lei's arrangement had, to a great extent, helped Xiao Yan avoid some trouble. After all, it was still considered normal if he could defeat Xiao Lei and Xiao Yan by taking turns to fight. However, if he could even win against two opponents by himself, forget about those Elders on the stage, it was likely that even the audience present would not be able to accept it.
However, Xiao Yan only smiled at Xiao Lei and Xiao Zhuobin's words. He slowly walked forward and cupped his hands gratefully at the two of them.
He smiled and said, "Xiao Yan appreciates your kind intentions. However, this battle isn't just for these people to watch. I want the elders on the arena to understand that I, Xiao Yan, have the qualifications to participate in the clan meeting and also have the qualifications to stay in the Xiao clan!"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions on the faces of the two people in front of him suddenly froze. Then, they looked at each other and could not help but reveal a hint of shame in their eyes.
From their point of view, since Xiao Yan had joined the Xiao clan, it meant that they had a brotherly relationship with him. This was why they wanted to lend him a hand. However, they had forgotten that other than being from the same clan, they were also opponents in this Fighting Arena.
Facing an opponent head-on was the greatest respect they could give him!
"Therefore, the two of you, please come at me together!"
