Unaware of the shock in the Lei Clan of Central Plains, Mo Yu had already returned to the Xiao Clan. The results of his recent secluded cultivation made the usually composed youth unable to hide a smile at the corner of his lips. 

Not only had he broken through to the Dou Zhe realm, but the restoration of his Heavenly Thunder Body also brought him great joy. 

On the Dou Qi Continent, there were other special constitutions, such as the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils and Woeful Poison Body. The Dou Di bloodline of the ancient eight clans was also a form of special constitution. However, when compared to the Heavenly Thunder Body, these constitutions were clearly on a different level. 

After all, few of these constitutions could break the shackles of the lower planes, while the Heavenly Thunder Body was a truly top-tier physique. Once fully matured, it could carve out a fearsome reputation even in the Da Qian World. 

Having broken through to the Dou Zhe level, Mo Yu gave himself a day off to relax. After that, his life returned to its usual orderly routine. 

In the morning, he would head to the back mountain to practice the Extreme Spirit Thunder dou technique, then return home to cultivate Dou Qi, occasionally accompanying his grandfather or chatting with his great-grandfather. Each time slot was meticulously organized by Mo Yu. 

During this period, he occasionally bumped into Xiao Yan in the family compound. The young man had regained his former talent, and his status within the clan had risen sharply. 

After the tests, perhaps to build momentum for Xiao Yan or to promote the Xiao Clan's reputation, the title of "Xiao Family's Twin Dragons" began to spread. 

One dragon was Xiao Yan, the young master of the Xiao Clan who had regained his talent after three years of decline. The other was Mo Yu, the mysterious genius who had risen rapidly within the clan in just over a year. 

Through subtle promotion, the "Xiao Family's Twin Dragons" title gradually spread across Wu Tan City. 

More than half a month passed in this peaceful and leisurely manner. Tomorrow was the Xiao Clan's coming-of-age ceremony, a significant event for the clan. 

For a clan to remain prosperous, it needed to maintain vitality. This vitality came from the younger generation, the fresh blood of the clan. It was only with the constant influx of fresh blood that the clan, like a massive machine, could continue running smoothly. 

Therefore, the coming-of-age ceremony was a highly significant day for every family, and the Xiao Clan was no exception. 

As one of the three major clans in Wu Tan City, the Xiao Clan's coming-of-age ceremony naturally attracted the attention of various forces within the city. Some friendly factions were even directly invited to participate. 

Mo Yu, however, didn't care much for such events and arrived just in time. 

"Brother Mo Yu, over here!" As soon as he arrived, a familiar voice called out. 

Turning his head, Mo Yu saw a black-clad youth and a girl as delicate as a green lotus sitting under the shade of a large tree, enjoying the cool breeze. 

It was none other than Xiao Yan and Xun Er. 

Mo Yu walked over with a smile, teasing, "You two really are inseparable, aren't you?" 

Upon hearing this, Xun Er smiled gracefully, while Xiao Yan's face flushed slightly, and he scratched his head in embarrassment. "Brother Mo Yu, Xun Er and I, we're just…" 

Before he could finish, Xun Er gave him a playful but "warning" glance, leaving Xiao Yan at a loss for words. 

Mo Yu chuckled to himself. This childhood romance between the two really was something to envy. 

After a moment, Xiao Yan regained his usual composure, though the idea of romance seemed a bit extravagant for the young man, who carried many burdens on his shoulders. 

"Brother Mo Yu, about the 'Xiao Family's Twin Dragons' title… the clan spread it by accident. I hope you don't mind," Xiao Yan said apologetically. 

Given Mo Yu's mysterious and powerful nature, Xiao Yan didn't feel that even with his restored talent, he could stand on equal footing with him. Thus, the title felt somewhat presumptuous. 

Mo Yu shook his head nonchalantly. 

The clan leader was simply using this as a tactic to promote the family's reputation, possibly to strengthen the position of his faction by tying him and Xiao Yan together. However, this had no real impact on Mo Yu, so he didn't mind at all. 

Seeing Mo Yu's indifference, Xiao Yan let out a sigh of relief. 

"You've reached the eighth level of Dou Zhi Qi?" Mo Yu asked casually after glancing at Xiao Yan. 

Xiao Yan nodded wearily. Indeed, nothing could escape his cousin's sharp eyes. 

"Brother Xiao Yan broke through the eighth level in less than a month. His speed is frightening. But Brother Mo Yu, it seems you've also made a breakthrough," Xun Er chimed in, her eyes briefly flashing with a faint golden light, a hint of surprise in her voice. 

Mo Yu was taken aback by the girl's insight. While the Dou Zhe realm wasn't as easy to hide as the Dou Zhi Qi stages, for Xun Er to detect something meant she had quite the means. As expected from the young mistress of the Gu Clan. 

Without bothering to hide anything, Mo Yu chuckled, "I got lucky a while back and broke through to the Dou Zhe realm." 

"Freak!" Xiao Yan muttered under his breath, a look of shock flashing across his face. 

With the help of Yao Lao, Xiao Yan had been feeling increasingly confident recently, even somewhat smug. After all, little Wu Tan City couldn't contain his greatness. But repeatedly being overshadowed by Xun Er and Mo Yu within the clan, the young man's confidence was shaken. 

Fortunately, Xiao Yan was strong-willed. After a brief moment of dejection, his fighting spirit flared up even stronger! 

Beside him, the girl who resembled a serene lotus smiled softly. However, her usually calm eyes also held a trace of surprise. This speed… was beginning to catch up to her. 

The three, all blessed with extraordinary talent, enjoyed an engaging conversation as they awaited the start of the ceremony. 

Suddenly, Mo Yu's gaze shifted. Near the large platform, a seductive woman in a red dress was smiling and chatting with others. Her curvaceous figure was faintly visible beneath the red dress, drawing the attention of many around her, making her the center of attention. 

That charming, mature woman in the red dress was none other than Ya Fei, whom Mo Yu had met before. 

"Brother Mo Yu, do you know her?" Xiao Yan asked after noticing Mo Yu's gaze. 

Snapped out of his thoughts, Mo Yu remembered that Xiao Yan hadn't yet encountered Ya Fei. Smiling, he explained, "I've only heard of her. That's Ya Fei, the chief auctioneer of the Mite-er Auction House." 

Xiao Yan nodded thoughtfully, his eyes fixed on the alluring figure. 

Noticing his expression, Xun Er playfully pouted, and the two began to bicker affectionately. 

Not wanting to intrude on their sweet moment, Mo Yu distanced himself a bit. 

"You must be Mo Yu?" 

Just as Mo Yu moved away, a sharp yet curious voice rang out. 

Turning around, Mo Yu saw a tall beauty, seemingly in academy attire, casually leaning against a large tree. She had a long sword at her waist and a strikingly tall, well-proportioned figure. But what caught Mo Yu's attention the most were her long, shapely legs—legs even more stunning than Ya Fei's. 

"Such long legs…" Mo Yu muttered to himself, before even fully registering the woman herself.
