Mo Yu was unaware of the Thunder Clan's turmoil in Zhongzhou and had arrived at the Xiao family estate. The usually calm young man couldn't help but smile at the results of his recent retreat.
Not only had he advanced to the Fighter realm, but he was also thrilled to have restored his 'Tian Gang Thunder Body'.
There are various special physiques in the Dou Qi Continent, such as the Green Snake's Three-Flower Pupil and the Evil Poison Body. The Dou Emperor bloodline of the eight ancient clans is also a type of physique.
However, these physiques are not on the same level as the Tiangang Thunder Body. The Tiangang Thunder Body is a top-tier physique, capable of achieving great renown once fully developed.
After breaking through to the Fighter level, Mo Yu allowed himself a day off. Following a relaxing day, his life returned to its usual calm and orderly state.
Each morning, he practiced the Lei Gangti skill on the back mountain and then worked on his fighting qi at home. Occasionally, he spent time with his grandfather, chatting with the old man. Mo Yu's schedule was well-organized.
During this time, he occasionally met Xiao Yan within the family. Xiao Yan, having regained his former talent, saw his status in the family rise. Following a recent test, the title of "The Twin Dragons of the Xiao Family" had started to spread.
One dragon was Xiao Yan, the young master who had recovered his talent after falling three years ago. The other was Mo Yu, the family's eldest son and a mysterious genius who had risen rapidly in just a year. This title contributed to the growing reputation of the 'Xiao Family Twin Dragons' in Wutan City.

After more than half a month of peaceful days, the Xiao family's coming-of-age ceremony was approaching. Maintaining vitality is crucial for any enduring family, and the younger generation represents this vitality. The coming-of-age ceremony is therefore a significant event, and the Xiao family was no exception.
As one of Wutan City's three major families, the Xiao family's ceremony drew the attention of various local forces, with some friendly factions being directly invited to attend.
Mo Yu arrived on time, indifferent to the event's grandeur.
"Cousin Mo Yu, over here!" A somewhat familiar voice called out as Mo Yu arrived.
Turning around, Mo Yu saw Xiao Yan and Xun'er sitting under a large tree, enjoying the warm breeze.
Smiling, Mo Yu walked over and joked, "You two are really inseparable."
Xun'er smiled warmly, while Xiao Yan's face turned red, and he scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Cousin Mo Yu, Xun'er and I just, just…" Xiao Yan stammered, unable to finish his sentence under Xun'er's playful gaze.
Mo Yu smiled, finding their childhood romance endearing. After a moment, Xiao Yan regained his composure, indicating that love was a bit of a luxury for someone burdened with many responsibilities.
"Cousin Mo Yu, I'm sorry about the 'Twin Dragons of the Xiao Family' title. It was accidentally spread by the family," Xiao Yan said apologetically.
Mo Yu shook his head. The clan leader's method of publicity was meant to bolster the family's reputation and subtly strengthen the clan leader's lineage. It didn't harm him, so he didn't mind.
Seeing Mo Yu's indifference, Xiao Yan felt relieved.
"Have you reached the eighth level of Dou Qi?" Mo Yu asked calmly after glancing at Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan nodded weakly, acknowledging that nothing was hidden from his cousin.
"Brother Xiao Yan has advanced to the eighth level in less than a month. That's impressive. But cousin Mo Yu, your strength has also improved, right?" Xun'er said with surprise, her eyes flashing with faint golden light.
Mo Yu, surprised by Xun'er's perceptiveness, acknowledged her skill. Though the Fighter level was easier to detect, her observation was commendable.
Mo Yu chuckled, "I was fortunate recently and managed to break through to the Fighter level."
"Pervert!" murmured the young man in black beside them, looking shocked.
With Yao Lao's help, Xiao Yan had been feeling a bit inflated. However, being outpaced by Xun'er and Mo Yu made him somewhat insecure. Fortunately, Xiao Yan was resolute and used this to fuel his determination.
Xun'er, previously calm, now showed a hint of surprise in her eyes, noting Mo Yu's rapid progress.
All three enjoyed their conversation until the test began.
Suddenly, Mo Yu's attention was caught by a striking woman in a red dress. She was surrounded by people and had become the center of attention. Her mature charm was evident in every smile and gesture. Mo Yu recognized her as Ya Fei, the chief auctioneer of the Mitel Auction.
"Cousin Mo Yu, do you know her?" Xiao Yan asked, noticing Mo Yu's interest.
Realizing he had been caught, Mo Yu explained with a chuckle, "I've only heard of Miss Ya Fei, the chief auctioneer."
Xiao Yan nodded thoughtfully, watching Ya Fei's graceful figure. Meanwhile, Xun'er's jealousy flared, leading to a playful argument between the couple.
Seeing this, Mo Yu decided to leave them to their quarrel and walked away.
"Are you Mo Yu?" A voice with curiosity called out as Mo Yu distanced himself.
Turning around, he saw a tall woman in an academy uniform leaning against a large tree. She had a long sword at her waist and notably long, slender legs, which even surpassed Ya Fei's in allure.
"What long legs…" Mo Yu murmured softly, his eyes drawn to her legs before he took in the rest of her appearance.
