BTTH: From Genius to Invincible

Chapter 14: Chapter 14: Coming of Age Ceremony



"Little pervert, today I shall execute justice on behalf of the heavens!" Xiao Yu thrust her sword repeatedly toward Xiao Yan.

However, as a mere 3-star Dou Practitioner, Xiao Yu's strength was absolutely no match for him, especially since she was even weaker than Nalan Yanran was a year ago, let alone capable of defeating Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Yu's angry yet beautiful eyes. All he could do was scratch his head and dodge. His movements were agile and unpredictable. Although it was only a Low Xuan Class Agility-Type Dou Technique, it was already more than enough to dodge the attacks of a Dou Practitioner.

"I really didn't do it on purpose back then; it wasn't my intention to see your body," Xiao Yan explained as he dodged.

When she heard Xiao Yan bring up the past incident in public, Xiao Yu bit her lip tightly, and her pretty eyes glared at Xiao Yan stubbornly. The hatred in her eyes seemed to be increasing rather than decreasing.

"Xiao Yan, you little bastard, shut up!"

Ya Fei and the others nearby heard the commotion and looked over. Ya Fei laughed, "I never thought that the Xiao Clan's genius Little Clan Leader would have a day where he'd be chased and slashed."

Xiao Zhan and several elders could only smile wryly. In fact, before Xiao Yan, the strongest genius in the clan was Xiao Yu. She had lived up to expectations and successfully entered Jia Nan Academy to continue her studies.

She had returned this year to attend the coming-of-age ceremony and to discuss with the clan the upcoming enrollment of Jia Nan Academy, hoping to allow more clan members to enter the academy and increase the clan's strength.

"Alright, that's enough fun." With a crisp sound, Xiao Yan pinched Xiao Yu's sword between his two fingers and used his strength to flick the sword away with ease.

Xiao Yan's effortless flicking away of her sword left Xiao Yu's face pale with anger, her eyes burning with fury.

"No matter what, I will not let you off so easily today, you little pervert!" Her words had just fallen when Xiao Yu stepped forward with her left foot, her graceful figure tracing a seductive curve. Surprisingly, her sexy right leg carried a hint of a whistling sound as it viciously aimed for his crotch!

Xiao Yan felt displeased at the sight of Xiao Yu's ruthlessness. It was indeed an accident back then, and he was, after all, the Little Clan Leader. Today's coming-of-age ceremony would officially announce him as such, yet Xiao Yu showed him no respect at all.

Naturally, he felt unhappy in his heart when Xiao Yu made him lose face like this.

Facing the kick, Xiao Yan's gaze became sharper as he directly grabbed her right ankle.

Panicked, Xiao Yu hastily covered her skirt with her hands to prevent it from flying up. After struggling fruitlessly for a while, Xiao Yu glared at Xiao Yan, her ample bosom slightly heaving in embarrassment as she scolded, "You little pervert! Let go of me!"

Xiao Yan completely ignored her protests. He continued to drag her along the street by her slender right leg as if he were leading a bull.

Xiao Yu hopped and bounced with her left foot on the ground as Xiao Yan dragged her along, crying out, "Let go! Let me go!!"

"I am the Little Clan Leader after all. Aren't you taking me too lightly?"

"A pervert like you as the Little Clan Leader? I, Xiao Yu, will never acknowledge it even in death!"

Xiao Yan's eyebrows raised slightly as he said ominously, "Oh? You are challenging me now?" He directly proceeded to remove Xiao Yu's shoe and took out a piece of grass resembling a foxtail from his storage ring. Guessing what Xiao Yan was about to do, Xiao Yu's face turned pale and she screamed with a mixture of anger and fear, "Xiao Yan! You... you dare!"

Xiao Yan sneered, "There's nothing I, Xiao Yan, wouldn't dare to do."

Xiao Yan didn't hold back. He picked up the foxtail and began to sweep it back and forth on her legs. Xiao Yu couldn't help but laugh and squirm as she felt both ticklish and aggrieved.

Many of the male spectators couldn't help but swallow their saliva when they saw Xiao Yu's slender legs exposed to the air. Some of them even experienced some physiological reactions.

They all held back from giving Xiao Yan a thumbs-up.

A feast for the eyes!

Just as Xiao Yan himself was getting a bit carried away, a clear and calm voice came from behind him, "It seems that Xiao Yan ge-ge enjoys playing this kind of 'game,' huh?"

Xiao Yan was startled by Xun Er's voice and quickly let go of Xiao Yu's leg. She was caught off guard and fell to the ground with her bottom.

He casually tossed aside the foxtail grass in his hand and laughed, "Ahahaha, it was just a small lesson, nothing more."

Xiao Yu's pretty face flushed with angry embarrassment as she sat on the ground. Her beautiful eyes filled with rage as she gritted her teeth and shouted angrily, "Xiao Yan, I'll tear you into a thousand pieces!! You jerk! You big jerk!"

"Big sis."

Xiao Ning and Xiao Mei walked over to Xiao Yu's side and helped her up. Xiao Ning and Xiao Yu were siblings.

"You arrived just in time, Xiao Ning. Let's join forces and catch him!"

Xiao Ning's brow furrowed as he said discontentedly, "Sis, you're being unreasonable. How could the Little Clan Leader do such a despicable thing?"

!!!!!

Xiao Yu was incredulous. Are you really my brother?

Xiao Mei chimed in, "That's right, Cousin Xiao Yu. Xiao Yan ge is not capable of such things. He's an upright person."

"Upright??? Have you two been brainwashed by him?"

Tears welled up in Xiao Yu's eyes as she spoke. She felt so wronged! She couldn't beat him in a fight, and now even her brother seemed to have been swayed by him.

Xiao Yan clumsily touched his nose. Although he was not a villain, he was not as upright as

they claimed.

After the farce, Xiao Zhan looked up at the sky and clapped his hands, "Enough of the fuss, the coming-of-age ceremony is about to begin."

The process of the ceremony was so complicated that it was almost headache-inducing. Especially for Xiao Yan, as the Little Clan Leader, his ceremony was many times more

elaborate than anyone else's.

Eventually, Xiao Yan became numb to it all and let the elders lead him as they wished.

Seeing Xiao Yan's helpless look, Xun Er's big watery eyes curved slightly and she smiled, "Xiao Yan ge-ge, these are traditions that have been passed down for generations. Even Uncle Xiao and the others can't change them."

Xiao Yan could only shake his head helplessly and silently vowed that once he became the Clan Head, he would change these outdated practices!

The most important part after the coming-of-age ceremony was the strength test. This was especially important for those who had reached the 6th-stage Dou Disciple last year. Whether they could stay in Wu Tan City depended on this test.

The ceremony was presided over by Second Elder Xiao Ying. One by one, the Xiao Clan members stepped forward to test their strength. There were about thirty 15-year-olds, half of whom did not meet the standards and were sent to develop new territories.

"Xiao Yan, it's your turn." The Second Elder gently waved to Xiao Yan, who was sitting in the

VIP area.

Xiao Yan was the last one because Xun Er's coming-of-age ceremony was not held in the Xiao Clan. So far, the highest cultivation level at the ceremony was Xiao Mei, who had reached the

9th-stage Dou Disciple.

This was because Xiao Yan had given her a bottle of Foundation Building Pills, allowing her to become a 9th-stage Dou Disciple.

The audience fell silent, and even the previously listless Ya Fei showed interest. In fact, everyone was here to see how much Xiao Yan's strength had improved.

"What do you think Xiao Yan's cultivation level will be this time?"

"A year ago, Xiao Yan was a 3-star Dou Practitioner. Without any fortuitous encounters or the aid of medicinal pills, it would be quite impressive to advance by one star in one year." "Xiao Yan started Qi cultivation at the age of four and became a Dou Practitioner at the age of eleven. It took him seven years to advance ten stages. Although it's more difficult to advance as a Dou Practitioner, if he used some medicinal pills, it's possible that he could advance by

two stars."

On the high wooden platform, a large black stone monument suddenly lit up, with golden characters flying and dancing on its surface.

The Second Elder was stunned when he saw the four characters on the monument.

"Dou Practitioner, 6-Star!"

The crisp sound of tea cups falling to the ground could be heard repeatedly in the VIP seats. Representatives from various factions within Wu Tan City were incredulous at this moment. Looking at the confident young genius at the center of the arena, even the older generation couldn't help but rub their eyes and think they were seeing things.

As Ya Fei looked at the young man, she suddenly regretted having said that she would wrap herself up and give herself to him if he was able to reach the Dou Ancestor.

She had the faint feeling that Xiao Yan might actually have the potential to become a Dou

Ancestor!

"A three stars progression in one year?!!!"
