Chapter 2

moment she got on stage, the murmurings and discussions quietened down and every pair of fiery eyes were

locked on her face.

The teenage girl wasn't more than 14 years old. Although her beauty wasn't immediately evident, her small childish face combined with her innocence

captured the attention of the audience. She quickly stepped forward and put her tiny hands on the black stone monument.

She then closed her eyes gently.

As the girl closed her eyes, the

monument shined brightly once again.

'Dou Zhi Li. 7th stage!'

"Xiao Mei, Dou Zhi Li, 7th stage! Rank: High!"

"Yeh!" Hearing the tester read out the

result, the teen girl smiled proudly.

"Tsk tsk, 7th stage Dou Zhi Li. How impressive! At this rate, in three years

she'll be named a true Dou Zhe3 already."

"She really fits the name of the clan's

seednngf

Hearing the unanimous praise coming from the crowd, the girl's smile turned even wider. Vanity, the temptation that so

many girls are unable to resist...

While chatting with her fellow sister members, her line of sight weaved through the surrounding people and landed on a lonesome figure away from

them.

Furrowing her brows for a while, she finally decided against walking over. Between the two of them was already a huge gap. Looking at Xiao Yan's performance these past few years, by the time the Adulthood Ceremony comes, he would only be able to place at the lower

tier clan member ranks. She, however,

with her brilliance. would become the clan's very important and thus wellnurtured fighter. There would be no limit

to her future.

"Ai..." An inexplicable sigh emerged from her. Xiao Mei thought back to the youth from three years ago, bursting with energy and pride. At 4 he started practicing, and at 10 he achieved the 9th stage Dou Zhi Li.At11 he broke the 10th stage Dou Zhi Li barrier and condensed his Dou Zhi Qi Zu4 successfully. He became the youngest Dou Zhe in the clan

since the past 100 years.

At that time, his self-confidence as well as immeasurable power attracted countless young teens which of course,

included Xiao Mei.

However, the path of a genius was always winding. Three years ago, this genius youngster whose fame reached the absolute top, received what could

possibly be the cruelest blow. The hard

However, the path of a genius was always winding. Three years ago, this genius youngster whose fame reached the absolute top, received what could

possibly be the cruelest blow. The hard

work he put into acculmulating and condensing the Dou Zhi Qi Zu over the past ten years had, injust one night, vanished into nothingness. All the Dou Zhi Li in his body slowly dissipated with

time and instead, pity for him grew.

As a result of losing his Dou Zhi Li. his

physical strength decreased as well.

From the position of a genius, in one night he fell below the average person. This kind of blow made the youth lose his will to carry on training. The reverence once associated with this lad had slowly

changed into disdain and ridicule. Standing so high up, and falling right down this kind of fall mightjust be one that he could never recover from.

"Next, Xiao Xun Er!"

Among the commotion, the tester's voice

sounded yet again.
