Looking at the green-dressed girl walking slowly up, the training ground fell into a somewhat uneasy silence, with pairs of fiery eyes fixed on her without blinking. On the high platform, all the family leaders, including the patriarch and three elders, stopped their whispered conversations and focused their attention on the girl.
Under the intense gaze of everyone present, the girl walked unhurriedly to the black stone tablet. She stretched out her small hand, sliding her sleeves down to reveal a slender, snow-white wrist.
Xun'er's jade hand gently touched the cold black stone tablet. As she closed her eyes, the fighting power within her surged rapidly.
As she input her fighting force, the black stone tablet suddenly emitted a strong light after a brief moment of silence...
"Fighter: One Star!"
The tester, somewhat shocked by the four golden characters, shook his head in amazement and announced loudly.
Seeing this result, all the boys and girls in the audience, as well as the family leaders, displayed surprised expressions, clearly taken aback by the girl's demonstrated strength.
Mo Yu, however, remained calm, with no sign of surprise on his face.
Xiao Mei'er, standing by, was also stunned by Xun'er's performance. She glanced at Mo Yu, who was standing calmly, and wondered just how strong this recently rising genius really was.
"Mo Yu!"
Just as she was contemplating this, the examiner's voice called out.
Hearing his name, Mo Yu raised his head slightly and looked around the training ground. After seeing Xun'er's results, everyone cast curious glances at the rising star of the Xiao family.
The family leaders on the high platform also set aside their earlier shock and focused on the young man in blue in the corner of the square.
While Xun'er's powerful background and extraordinary achievements were impressive, they were not entirely surprising. However, Mo Yu's rapid rise in just one year was a rare occurrence in the Xiao family's history.
Mo Yu turned and walked casually toward the black stone tablet, as if he were simply strolling along a road rather than preparing for a test.
Under the gazes of envy, curiosity, and other mixed emotions, Mo Yu approached the black stone tablet.
The examiner looked at the young man in blue with curiosity, wondering what kind of outstanding result this recent sensation would achieve.
Amid the intense scrutiny, Mo Yu maintained a calm demeanor. He extended his palm and lightly placed it on the cold black stone tablet.
All eyes were fixed on the stone tablet, eager to see whether Mo Yu would prove to be a sudden success or just a fleeting flash in the pan.
The stone tablet remained calm for a moment, then a strong light suddenly burst forth!
The enormous golden characters on the stone tablet caused everyone's hearts to skip a beat.
"Fighting Power: Nine Stages!"
The entire area fell silent.
The crowd stared in shock at the five large characters on the stone tablet, their faces reflecting envy and jealousy.
An outsider who wasn't even a member of the Xiao family had cultivated so quickly. Perhaps only Xun'er could surpass him!
"Ninth Stage!"
On the high platform, Xiao Zhan looked at the stone tablet with shock.
The three elders beside Xiao Zhan were also in disbelief. The ninth stage of fighting power was just one step away from the fighter realm!
The eldest elder's cloudy eyes briefly flickered with light before he slowly closed his eyes as if trying to ignore the world. Yet, the fingers gripping his cane trembled, revealing his agitation.
The second and third elders exchanged glances, their eyes clearly showing that such a genius must be won over.
Xiao Mei stared at the young man standing by the black stone tablet with admiration and respect.
At the edge of the training ground, Xiao Ning stared blankly at the large characters on the stone tablet. After a moment, he murmured with some relief, "Fortunately, I didn't provoke this guy too much, otherwise…"
Xiao Yan also watched the scene with admiration, commenting, "Cousin Xun'er and cousin Mo Yu really put a lot of pressure on me…"
Hearing this, the lotus-like girl beside him chuckled and said, "Cousin Mo Yu's strength is indeed improving very quickly, but Brother Xiao Yan is not doing badly either. You will surprise everyone soon."
As soon as the girl finished speaking, the tester's voice rang out.
"Xiao Yan!"
Hearing his name, the young man slowly stood up and, with Xun'er's encouragement, strode toward the stone tablet.
Mo Yu calmly stepped down from the stone tablet, glanced at the black-clad boy approaching, and chuckled, "Cousin Xiao Yan, it's your turn to perform."
Knowing the significance of the moment, Xiao Yan showed a determined look. He nodded firmly and said, "Don't worry, cousin Mo Yu, I won't let you down."
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xiao Yan delivered a solid performance.
"Fighting Power: Seventh Stage!"
Although he was overshadowed by Xun'er and Mo Yu's impressive displays, Xiao Yan's performance was far from lacking and was quite remarkable in its own right.
His sudden rise from being considered a waste for three years drew significant attention and admiration.
The audience reacted with a mix of jealousy, envy, and joy.
On the high platform, Xiao Zhan was pleased with Xiao Yan's recovery and, after a period of calm, announced the end of the test. He also mentioned details about the coming-of-age ceremony scheduled for one month later.
As the Xiao family members congratulated Xiao Yan, Mo Yu was not in the mood to join the festivities. He dusted himself off and prepared to leave.
"Cousin Mo Yu, my father will teach you advanced yellow-level fighting skills in the fighting hall tomorrow. Would you like to come with us?" Xiao Mei asked with a smile. The combination of charm and innocence on her face was truly heartwarming.
"No time," Mo Yu replied.
Currently, Mo Yu was focused on preparing for a breakthrough to the fighter realm, leaving him little time for social distractions.
Xiao Mei's face momentarily froze at Mo Yu's blunt refusal. She then turned her attention to a lively area where a young man in black was receiving congratulations. Biting her lip lightly, she walked over to join Xiao Yan.
Mo Yu, observing this, felt a cold smile forming in his heart. Women like Xiao Mei, no matter the world, often disguise their true intentions behind their feelings.
Shaking his head, Mo Yu felt no loss and turned to leave.
