**Chapter 3: Three-Year Agreement**

—

[Ding, received successfully. Physical implantation in progress. There will be a little pain during the process; host, please be patient!]

—

After the system finished speaking, Xiao Tian's body trembled as a strong electric current coursed through him. He felt numb and weak and could even vaguely smell a bit of burning. Black substances continued to precipitate from his body, and Xiao Tian endured the urge to shout out.

About half an hour later, Xiao Tian's whole body was covered with a layer of black substance emitting a foul odor. He immediately stood up and jumped into the bathtub to wash himself. He changed the water five or six times before finally washing away all the dirt on his body. His formerly ordinary figure had suddenly transformed into a muscular one, not overly bulky but rather smooth and graceful—like a work of art carefully carved by nature. Every muscle held infinite power, and his face became more handsome and resolute. It was no exaggeration to call him unparalleled in the world.

"Is this the Thunder God Body? I feel lighter and full of endless power. There is also a tyrannical force within me that can destroy everything."

—

[Ding, the physical implantation is successful. Now the skills and Dou techniques are being transmitted. The transmission is successful!]

—

The Five Elements Heavenly Thunder Art and three Dou skills appeared in Xiao Tian's mind as if he was born with them. Xiao Tian immediately focused on the Five Elements Heavenly Thunder Art. This art was divided into seven categories, and he could currently only practice the Righteous Wood Thunder Chapter. After reading for a while, Xiao Tian began to practice the Righteous Wood Thunder Chapter.

Since the first transformation of Dou Qi did not take long, and with the fixed attributes granted by the Thunder God Body, it took only an hour to successfully transform. Xiao Tian, sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes, and a flash of green lightning sparkled in his gaze. After feeling the strength of a two-star Dou Zhe within him, he said, "Is it only the low level of the earth rank for now? But that's enough. I didn't expect to be promoted to one star just by transforming the technique, and practicing also enhanced my senses."

Xiao Tian looked at the green lightning above the cyclone and sighed, "It will take nine more to form Righteous Wood Thunder. When the time comes, the Righteous Wood Thunder technique can evolve by absorbing it, and it will even be like Xiao Yan's Burning Art, making rapid progress."

"System, check in."

—

[Ding, the host successfully checked in at the courtyard and received a reward: 100,000 gold coins. Please check it.]

—

"No more?" Xiao Tian looked at the sparse text on the system panel, disbelief evident on his face. He glanced at the light blue jade card and the black jade card lying in the system space. The black jade card was a common gold deposit card with a maximum value of no more than 5,000 gold coins; it held exactly 5,000 gold coins. The light blue jade card had no limit, and it showed 95,000 gold coins.

The next morning, after a night of practice, Xiao Tian slowly opened his eyes and murmured, "It's hard to condense thunder; only one strand in a night, but the speed of practicing Dou Qi is obviously much faster than before."

Just as he finished washing up, an old voice came from outside: "Third Master, Fourth Master, the clan leader invites you to the hall; he says that a distinguished guest has arrived."

Upon hearing that a guest was coming, Xiao Tian speculated, based on the plot, that it should be the people from the Yunlan Sect and Nalan Yanran who had come to force the marriage to break off.

It was still Xiao Yan who had made the engagement with Nalan Yanran, and it hadn't changed due to Xiao Tian's time traveling and interference.

Xiao Tian casually agreed and changed into a light blue and white outfit. When he went out, he saw Xiao Yan and Butler Mo waiting together. "Let's go, Butler Mo."

Following Butler Mo through the backyard, he arrived at the reception hall and pushed the door open. He saw it was already full of people. Sitting at the top were Xiao Zhan and the three elders, with three strangers—a man and two women—sitting below them. He guessed they must be the distinguished guests mentioned by the butler.

After Xiao Tian entered, he noticed Xun'er sitting in the corner. He walked up to her and sat on the stool next to her, and Xiao Yan followed and sat beside him.

After sitting down, Xiao Tian glanced at Xiao Yan with a slightly amused look before shifting his gaze to the girl among the three. The girl was about the same age as Xiao Tian and was extremely beautiful; only Xiao Xun'er could compare with her. On the girl's chest was a badge with three gold stars.

"Three-star Dou Zhe?"

Suddenly, Xiao Tian felt a pinch in his waist. Xiao Xun'er had twisted it and asked with a smile, "Brother Xiao Tian, do I look good?"

"Not as good-looking as you," Xiao Tian replied with a smile, gently pushing away the little hand on his waist.

After finally calming Xiao Xun'er down, Xiao Tian spoke to the system in his heart: "The system is checking in."

—

[Ding, check-in successful. Check-in location: Xiao family reception hall. Reward: realm upgrade to two stars; fifth-grade elixir: anti-aging pill*4.]

—

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Tian's realm rose to four-star fighter (the realm level increase rewarded by the system will be automatically concealed and will not be noticed by others). Xiao Tian looked into the system space and found four more bottles of pills added.

In the hall, Xiao Zhan and the three elders were engaged in an eager discussion with the strange old man, but the old man seemed to have some difficult words to say and found it hard to open his mouth.

Xiao Tian turned to Xiao Yan, who was sitting beside him, and asked with a smile, "Do you know who they are?"

"You know?" Xiao Yan turned and asked.

"Of course! Did you see the cloud-like silver swords on the cuffs of their clothes? They are from the Yunlan Sect, a tyrant of the Jia Ma Empire. They are here to find you," Xiao Tian replied.

"Looking for me?" Xiao Yan asked in a low voice, somewhat confused.

"Yes! Did you see that girl? Her name is Nalan Yanran. Does she look familiar to you?" Xiao Tian said, a slightly strange look on his face.

"Nalan Yanran? The granddaughter of Nalan Jie, the Lionheart Marshal of the Jia Ma Empire, and my fiancée?" Xiao Yan's face stiffened. He glanced at the girl over there, as if realizing that this was not just a simple reminiscence.

At that moment, the elder among the three coughed lightly and stood up. Xiao Tian looked at him, wondering if he was about to start discussing business.

Observing the classic scene, Xiao Tian couldn't help but think: He is worthy of being the one who destroyed the entire Soul Clan and thwarted Emperor Hun Tian's countless years of effort by his own strength. If Emperor Hun Tian knew all this, would he come over to force them to finalize the wedding and crush a few Dou Zongs as fireworks to celebrate?
