Chapter 1001: Xiao Zhan Takes Action, This Unfilial Son!_1

```

"Haha. Xu Ran, you son of a bitch, hitting me? If you have the guts, kill me! Living like this in humiliation is worse than death!"

"You swindler, you've misled me so badly!"

"Didn't you agree that as long as I took this elixir, I would recover my talent? You've gone too far!"

"Xu Ran, Xun Er, you two dog-like man and woman will not have a good end!"

Xiao Yan roared furiously, his current plight making him appear somewhat desolate.

What is the difference between him and trash now?

Ahhh!

It was bad enough that Xun Er ran off with someone else, but he couldn't even hold onto his "Cultivation Level." Although the third stage of Dou Qi was trashy, it was still better than the first stage, right?

Dou Qi First Stage? This freaking... He's already so grown up and only has the "Cultivation Level" of a Dou Qi First Stage – worse than a child. He's become a laughing stock now.

The commotion caused by Xiao Yan quickly drew many people.

"Yo. Isn't this Xiao Yan?"

"Haha. How has Xiao Yan's "Cultivation Level" dropped again? Dou Qi First Stage? Am I seeing this right? That's way too weak."

"Haha. Just as expected of the useless Xiao Yan. In the end, Xiao Yan is just an ordinary person."

"It's good that Xun Er and Xiao Yan split up. Xun Er is so beautiful; leaving Xiao Yan was the right move."

Everyone mocked, looking at Xiao Yan as if he were a joke.

Back in the day, when Xiao Yan was still a genius, he was very arrogant. They had to force a smile in front of Xiao Yan then. But now, as Xiao Yan has fallen, they must reclaim the dignity they lost in his presence.

It's not like they should bow and scrape before a piece of trash, is it?

What a joke!

If it hadn't been for Xun Er all these years, they would have had Xiao Yan howling long ago.

Seeing Xiao Yan's fate now, they could only laugh.

Xiao Yan now has only the Dou Qi First Stage. That's so pathetic.

Meanwhile, they looked at Xu Ran with eyes full of admiration. As long as one is strong, they will have their respect, and Xu Ran was far stronger than they were.

Over the years, the Elders had forbidden them from spreading the news, stating whoever leaked Xu Ran's identity would be expelled from the family.

Thus, Xu Ran's identity and strength had not been revealed.

If it weren't for this rule, they would have long been bragging about it. With such a powerful individual in the Xiao Family, who would dare provoke them in the future? As for the Gale Family, Xu Ran could probably wipe them out with a wave of his hand.

This is the benefit of having a strong expert in the family!

At this moment, Xiao Zhan and some Elders of the Xiao Family also hurried over.

They looked at Xu Ran with disappointment in their eyes; although Xiao Yan was not much, Xu Ran's targeting him was hardly noble behavior.

But the next moment, they changed their minds.

…

"Xiao Yan, you misunderstood. The elixir I gave you is meant to erase the abnormal Dou Qi in your body first. Then, when you cultivate in the future, you can make more progress! Not only that, but after absorbing the elixir I gave you, your "Cultivation Level" talent will be even better than it was three years ago. Even more so! In the future, you also have the potential to break through to become a Dou Zong Expert!" Xu Ran explained with conviction.

And the Xiao Family's people were all flabbergasted!

What did they just hear?

Dou Zong!

```

What is that level? It looks so awesome!

The Elders of the Xiao Family were also invigorated, as they clearly knew what a Dou Zong Expert was! In the Jia Ma Empire, it was unknown if there was even a Dou Zong Expert. If Xiao Yan became a Dou Zong Expert, what would the future hold for the Xiao Family?

Xiao Zhan and the Elders of the Xiao Family were excited, for if what Xu Ran said was true, then he would be the benefactor of the Xiao Family.

"Xu Ran, are you really speaking the truth?"

Xiao Zhan asked excitedly.

He believed Xu Ran was a good person; a talent of Xu Ran's level should not deign to lie.

"Within three days, Xiao Yan's talent will return, and it might even be stronger than before," Xu Ran said. According to the original plot, this was the moment when Nalan Yanran would come to call off the engagement, but because of his arrival, she did not come to the Xiao Family as expected; she was waiting for him! So now, Yao Lao might be about to absorb enough Dou Qi to awaken. With Yao Lao's help, Xiao Yan's talent would naturally surpass his previous level by bounds.

"Good, good, good!"

"If what you say is true, you will be our Xiao Family's great benefactor, as well as Little Flame's benefactor!" Xiao Zhan said earnestly. The other Elders of the Xiao Family also looked at Xu Ran with affection.

They thought Xu Ran was simply too outstanding.

Xu Ran was incredibly good to Xiao Yan, not only helping him restore his talent but also enhancing it.

Yet Xiao Yan had previously insulted Xu Ran so fiercely; this fact alone spoke volumes about Xu Ran's character.

As for the possibility of Xu Ran deceiving them, that was clearly not the case.

If Xu Ran's statement was false, wouldn't Xu Ran be slapping his own face after three days passed without Xiao Yan's talent returning?

"Go to hell, Xu Ran!"

"Dou Zong, huh?"

"You think I'd believe you?"

Xiao Yan's eyes reddened. How had Xu Ran humiliated him back at the hillside? Xu Ran was definitely not his benefactor; in fact, Xu Ran couldn't stand to see him do well and deliberately aimed to mess with him!

"Xiao Yan, Xu Ran has been so good to you, even giving you such fine Elixirs, yet you repay kindness with ingratitude! Do you deserve Xu Ran's benevolence?"

"Exactly! How great would it have been if Xu Ran gave that Elixir to me instead? A Dou Zong! All I want is to have the talent of a Dou Spirit, no, that of a Great Fighter."

"Xiao Yan's Cultivation Level is pathetic, and as a person, he is worthless! Xu Ran has been so good to him, but not only does he not recognize the kindness, he even repays good with evil."

"Perhaps Xun Er has seen through Xiao Yan's true nature and that's why she left him. The difference between Xiao Yan and Xu Ran is not only in talent but also in character."

A crowd looked at Xiao Yan with envy.

Xiao Yan was indeed incredibly lucky to receive such a favor from Xu Ran.

They knew that someone like Xu Ran must come from a major power, and even giving them a little something could benefit them immensely.

And at that moment, Xiao Zhan couldn't help himself and slapped Xiao Yan across the face.

Even though Xiao Yan was his son, he could no longer tolerate him at this moment.

Was this the once proud and indomitable Xiao Yan? Why had he become like this now?

Xu Ran had said it, all he needed was to wait three days, and his talent would be restored! Why was Xiao Yan still making unreasonable trouble here? As for Xun Er? Xun Er was truly mysterious and was never likely to end up with him in the first place.

Xiao Zhan looked at Xiao Yan with disappointment in his eyes.

"Father…" Xiao Yan was stunned by Xiao Zhan's slap.

He never expected that his respected father would actually hit him!

This was the first time!

His father had always been so kind to him, but now he had slapped him in front of so many people. And this was all because of Xu Ran!
