What Do You Call a Benevolent and Reasonable Person in Xianxia? An Impossibility!

“Hm… So the first one fighting is Xiao Yan…”

Xiao Ning murmured softly as he looked at Xiao Yan already standing on the stage.

Although among the members of the Xiao Clan participating in the coming-of-age ceremony today, Xiao Xun’er undoubtedly had the highest Dou Qi level, when it came to actual combat, Xiao Yan was definitely the real number one.

After all, back when Xiao Yan couldn’t advance in Dou Qi, he focused on cultivating his physical body. And now that his Dou Qi had recovered, even Xiao Xun’er was no longer a match for him.

“I wonder who’s the unlucky guy who drew the same number as Xiao Yan,” Xiao Ning said, gloating as he drew his own lot.

However, his expression instantly twisted when he opened the slip.

Number one, just like Xiao Yan.

Damn it! Is my luck really that bad???

Holding the slip in his hand, Xiao Ning glanced at Xiao Yan on the stage, then turned his head to look at the other members of the Xiao Clan.

“Um- Does anyone want to switch with me?”

As soon as Xiao Ning said that, all the Xiao Clan members shook their heads vigorously in unison.

Are you kidding me? The three months of training in the mountains made everyone’s fear of Xiao Yan increase several times! After finally escaping from that ordeal, who would want to experience it again?

“You drew what you drew! Aren’t you a man?!” Xiao Mei scolded angrily, hands on her hips. Xiao Ning hesitated for a moment, then handed his slip to her.

“How about you go up then?”

“Uh-”

Xiao Mei suddenly choked, then angrily kicked Xiao Ning onto the stage.

“Hurry up! Stop dilly-dallying! There are still other competitors who want to fight! Don’t waste everyone’s time!”

As Xiao Ning was kicked onto the fighting stage, he looked at Xiao Yan directly in front of him, feeling particularly dead in his heart.

He really didn’t want to fight Xiao Yan, or rather, none of the members of the Xiao Clan wanted to fight him.

It wasn’t just a matter of being inferior in strength. The key was that Xiao Yan had been the chief training officer for the Xiao Clan members for a long time, and that deep-seated sense of fear wasn’t something that could be easily eliminated. It had become a psychological shadow.

“Phew~”

Xiao Ning took a deep breath, trying to calm his racing heart.

Since he couldn’t escape, then he would fight.

Xiao Ning clenched his fist and a determined look appeared in his eyes.

Perfect, I also want to see how effective my three months of training in the mountains have been!

However, although Xiao Ning no longer wanted to escape in his heart, just to be safe, he still asked Xiao Yan a question.

“Cousin Xiao Yan, we agreed not to use the Octadic Smash in advance, right?”

At the end of the three-month training period, Xiao Yan taught this technique to the Xiao Clan members. Therefore, everyone had learned it, and through practice, they deeply understood how terrifying this move was.

This move was absolutely not something that could be used in a competition. Once used, opponents of the same level would either die or be severely injured. So, Xiao Yan had already made arrangements with the Xiao Clan members not to use this move during the competition.

“Yes, it can’t be used,” Xiao Yan confirmed with a nod. Xiao Ning’s face turned serious, and he stared intently at Xiao Yan in front of him. Xiao Yan also slightly bent his body, assuming a combat-ready posture.

The referee standing in the middle saw that both of them were ready and raised his hand high.

“The first match! Get ready!”

On the spectator stands, Xiao Zhan stood with his hands behind his back, staring intently at the first battle about to begin on the fighting stage.

The real combat training he had conducted with the Xiao Clan members three months ago was still deeply ingrained in Xiao Zhan’s mind.

Ever since then, Xiao Zhan gradually realized that the combat abilities of the Xiao Clan members, under Xiao Yan’s training, seemed to have grown far beyond his expectations.

And now, Xiao Yan had taken the Xiao Clan members to train in the mountains for a full three months.

Therefore, Xiao Zhan was curious about how much their combat abilities had been enhanced.

Just as Xiao Zhan was thinking about it, the referee suddenly swung his hand down and shouted.

“Begin!!!”

Boom!
