NOVEL NEXT Chapter 9.2: Going Further
In fact, this was not the first time that Xiao Yan had contributed a Dou Technique. However, most of the skills were focused on assisting in cultivating strength and body movements, which were something he had thought of during his own physical training.
They were useful for the younger generation of the Xiao Clan, but not so much for those at higher levels.
Even so, these skills were still collected in the Xiao Clan’s Dou Technique Hall by Xiao Zhan and the three elders.
In fact, even if the contents were all nonsense, they would still do it because it was Xiao Yan who was bringing them.
“Let me see.”
Xiao Zhan reached out his hand, and Xiao Yan stepped forward to hand over the scroll.
Xiao Zhan then unfurled it.
However, as time passed, Xiao Zhan’s expression gradually became serious, eventually turning into one of shock.
“Clan Patriach, is there a problem with this Dou Technique?”
“… ” Xiao Zhan did not answer, but instead handed the scroll to the other three elders.
“Elders, please take a look.”
The three elders took the scroll and examined it. After a moment, they too showed the same seriousness as Xiao Zhan, they were in shock.
What a terrifying Dou Technique!
Even without practical experience on the Dou Technique, the three elders could clearly discern how frightening the Octadic Smash was.
“Yan-er, where did this Dou Technique come from?”
Xiao Zhan looked at Xiao Yan and asked in a serious tone.
“The Octadic Smash” is different from the combat skills that Xiao Yan contributed in the past. Even those at the level of a Da Dou Shi (Battle Grandmaster, 4th Realm) can greatly enhance their combat power after learning it.
As the saying goes, “Like father, like son.” Although Xiao Zhan has always been satisfied with Xiao Yan, he never thought that this combat skill could be created by his son.
“Father, I went to meditate in the rear mountains last night and met a senior. Xiao Yan and that senior had a pleasant conversation, and the senior gave me this combat skill as a gift.”
“This…”
Xiao Zhan was somewhat surprised. He naturally believed his son’s words, but he never expected that his son would have such a fortuitous encounter.
“Son, did that senior tell you the level of this combat skill?”
Xiao Zhan asked with a furrowed brow, and Xiao Yan clasped his fists and lowered his head.
“Father, I apologize, as for this matter, i cannot say.”
!!!!
As soon as this was said, the expressions of Xiao Zhan and the three elders changed suddenly.
It was not that Xiao Yan did not know about it, but rather, he could not say it.
This proved that Xiao Yan knew the level of this combat skill, but he could not tell them.
There could only be one reason for this: the level of this combat skill was a rare and precious treasure in the Wutan City. If outsiders knew about it, it would bring huge trouble to the Xiao Clan!
“I understand.” Xiao Zhan regained his composure and said softly, “The matter of this combat skill, I will discuss with the three elders on how to handle it. You can go about your business.”
“Yes, Father.”
Xiao Yan turned and left the conference hall. Seeing his departing figure, Xiao Zhan and the three elders remained speechless for a long time.
Although Xiao Yan had obtained such a rare and precious treasure, he could have kept it to himself without anyone knowing. Instead, he willingly contributed it for the use of his family’s disciples.
This kind of broad-mindedness was truly rare.
“It seems that even if Xiao Yan becomes the Clan Patriach in the future, no one will feel dissatisfied,” the three elders evaluated. Xiao Zhan looked at the scroll that the three elders had put aside on the table and smiled faintly.
“No,” Xiao Zhan picked up the scroll and said in a slow voice, “I have a feeling that Yan’er will not be willing to stay in the small Wutan City in the future.”
“His future will undoubtedly be even brighter than any of us!”
