The Succubus of the Dou Qi World!

Thus, it was foreseeable that after today, the strength of the Xiao family would no longer be concealed.

In fact, it should have been impossible to hide even before today, especially since Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, Xiao Chong's elder brothers from the same clan had also been taken care of by Xiao Chong.

However, for the men Xiao Chong had directly gifted them many rare treasures that had no side effects, allowing them to consume them as if they were regular meals.

He had also modified their cultivation techniques.

These resources could be utilized and enjoyed after they ventured out to make their mark, so although it was heard that Xiao Li and Xiao Ding had successfully advanced to the Dou Ling level, When they left the Xiao family they were only at the Dou Zhe level. Now, it was said they had reached the Dou Ling level and had begun establishing even more powerful forces outside.

The only regret was that during this period, even though Xiao Chong had utilized the power of the Miter Auction House, he still hadn't found the materials needed to forge the Xiao Family's Heavenly Emperor Brush.

But this was of little consequence.

Having been in the Xiao Family for so many years, Xiao Chong had mostly projected an image akin to a 'lazy genius,' but the changes he brought to the Xiao Family were substantial.

Even Xue'er, who had a very close relationship with Xiao Chong over the past 12 years, was unaware of how many trump cards Xiao Chong currently held.

In fact, even the approximate level of Xiao Chong's current strength was known to very few within the Xiao Family.

But today, at the coming-of-age ceremony, it was Xiao Chong's turn to step up and showcase his abilities.

Although he was only twelve years old and the coming-of-age ceremony was still four years away for him.

Now, the Xiao Family, which no longer intended to remain hidden, was in need of a reassurance, a guarantee that would allow them to confidently expand their influence!

If Xiao Chong could stand up and truly become the shield for all of them, it would bring them great joy.

......

On the Xiao Family's plaza, the elder of the Xiao Family announced the start of the coming-of-age ceremony.

Those with a keen eye could immediately discern that the elder announcing the ceremony had the strength of a Dou Ling! Although only at the initial stage, this elder was not one of the three great elders of the Xiao Family, but merely an ordinary elder. Yet, even such an ordinary elder now possessed the ability to rank among the top elders in the Yunlan Sect!

Who knows what level of strength the core members of the Xiao Family might have now.

For a moment, the guest seats symbolizing the visitors buzzed with whispers due to the appearance of this ordinary elder and his strength.

But the guests who came here knew!

The reason for such a significant change in strength was undoubtedly related to the genius who appeared in the legends of the Xiao Family twelve years ago.

"It seems that today, the Xiao Family also wants to announce something to the entire Jia Ma Empire, and even the entire Dou Qi Continent."

"Maintaining good relations with them over the years has indeed been a very wise choice."

In the VIP seats, a woman in a red dress, though only around twenty years old, possessed a figure so alluring and mature that it could make any man's blood boil at the mere sight of her.

She was none other than the youngest elder of the Miter Family, Yafei.

In the front rows of the VIP seats, there were also two rows of people who clearly held significant status.

On the left side were members of the Miter Family, who had maintained a positive business relationship with the Xiao Family over the years—more specifically, with Xiao Chong.

It was largely due to Xiao Chong's contributions that Yafei had become the youngest elder in her family. Otherwise, with her current strength barely at the level of a Dou Practitioner, it would have been impossible for her to achieve such a position anytime soon.

On the right side were members of the Nalan Family, another prominent family in the Jia Ma Empire, who also had significant ties with the Xiao Family and even the Yunlan Sect.

This time, the Yunlan Sect did not send anyone. Originally, Elder Ge Ye who was very familiar with the local terrain, was supposed to attend. However, upon hearing that the event was at the Xiao Family, Elder Ge Ye immediately looked as if he had lost his soul, declaring that he would never set foot in such a dangerous place again. As a result, the Nalan Family had to send their own representatives, led by Nalan Su.

Sitting beside Nalan Su was a young girl around twelve years old, dressed in a moon-colored robe.

Though her face still bore the innocence and naivety of youth, there was already a hint of arrogance and aloofness in her expression.

This, however, only added to her charm.

Who knows how stunning she would become once she fully matured.

This girl was none other than Nalan Yanran.

The Nalan Family's attendance this time was naturally to observe the current state of the Xiao Family and Xiao Chong.

Even as in-laws, they were genuinely unaware of Xiao Chong's true physical condition.

Moreover, with the Miter Family spreading false information about the Xiao Family over the years, Nalan Su was now completely in the dark about the Xiao Family's true situation.

The once-genius Dou Huang whose current status was unknown.

When he had brought Nalan Yanran to arrange the betrothal, it was more of his father's idea, but now that the marriage was settled, Nalan Su naturally paid extra attention to the matter.

Especially after his daughter was recently taken in as a personal disciple by the Yunlan Sect's leader, he was eager to know the real situation of the Xiao family and Xiao Chong.

Aside from these two families, the VIP seats also included representatives from other city factions or mercenary groups.

Even some family heads from neighboring cities had personally come to witness the ceremony.

Only the Jia Lie and Ao ba families were absent.

This was expected, as for the past twelve years, the Jia Lie and Ao ba families had treated the Xiao family as if they were their ancestors, keeping as far away as possible.

Once the audience had mostly gathered, the coming-of-age ceremony's test was about to begin.

The elder on the square nodded as he saw Xiao Yu approaching.

"This testing pillar has been improved recently. As long as your strength is below the Dou Wang level, it can be accurately measured."

"Understood, Elder."

With a respectful bow and a nod, Xiao Yu quickly stepped forward. Before beginning the test, she couldn't help but glance back at Xiao Chong, who was seated in the viewing stand.

However, upon meeting Xiao Chong's gaze, a hint of blush flashed in her beautiful eyes. She then decisively struck the testing pillar with her palm.

As the strength level displayed on the testing pillar became visible, all the guests present couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

It was the Dou Shi level of Dou Qi!

A sixteen-year-old Dou Shi? That was simply astonishing! Moreover, those familiar with the Xiao family's situation knew,

Xiao Yu's strength wasn't even considered dessert-level!
