The moon was like a silver slab and stars filled the sky.
At the top of the cliff, Xiao Yan lay on the grass and in his mouth was a thread of green grass. He chewed it a little and let the bitterness spread to his mouth slowly.
He raised his white palm and placed it in front of him, blocking the moon and just letting the moonlight pass through the gap between his fingers. He saw a gigantic circular silver moon in the sky.
"Ai ..." Thinking back on the testing in the afternoon, Xiao Yan let out a light sigh. He lazily pulled his hand back and placed both of his hands on his head. He looks dazed.
"It's been 15 years, huh?" A soft voice was suddenly issued from the young teenager without warning.
In Xiao Yan's mind, there was a secret that only he himself knew: He is not a person from this world. To be more precise, his soul was not of this world. He came from a dark blue star called Earth. As for the inexplicable mystery of why he was here, he himself did not know. However, after staying here for some time, he slowly realized: He passed the other side!
As he grew older, he slowly began to understand the parts of this continent.
This continent is called the Dou Qi Continent. On the continent, there were not many stories of magic users and their effects, but, Dou Qi was a major star.
On this vast piece of land, Dou Qi training had become commonplace after the hard work of countless individuals who had continued to train generations, generations after generations, expanding the knowledge surrounding Dou Qi to the peak. Dou Qi and humans are one and the same in everyday life and hence, Dou Qi is very important in this continent. It can be called irreplaceable!
As the number of levels in Dou Qi continued to increase, so did the number of ways to train it. Some are better than others, as expected.
After going through the analysis system, the Dou Qi rank in the Dou Qi Continent was broken down into four different classes – Tian, Di, Xuan, Huang.
And each class is further divided into Beginner, Intermediate and Higher levels!
The Dou Qi Technique you learn also determines how strong you will be. For example, if one were to practice a Xuan grade middle rank technique, he would naturally be stronger than one who practiced a Huang grade high rank technique.
In the Dou Qi Continent, to distinguish the strong from the weak, there were 3 criteria that needed to be seen.
First, and also most important, is the strength of your natural body. If one only possessed a 1-star power level, even if he practiced Tian class high ranking techniques, he would not be able to defeat a Huang class Combat Master.
Next is the technical level. If two people with the same innate strength were to fight, the one with the better technique would obviously win.
The last one is Dou Ji1.
Dou Ji was a special type of skill used when controlling Dou Qi and in the land of Dou Qi, Dou Ji was also separated into Tian, Di, Xuan, Huang.
The Dou Qi in the continent spoke for itself, but Dou Ji was different. Almost everyone started out with the Dou Ji class in Huang. If you want to learn more advanced control skills, you must join a sect or enroll in a Dou Qi school.
Of course, there were some who, coincidentally, managed to learn skills that others had previously left behind, or those with compatible Dou Ji skills. For these people, their combat levels might be slightly higher than usual.
Relying on these 3 aspects, you can determine who is strong and who is weak. In short, if you manage to learn a high level Dou Qi technique, the benefits in the future will be huge.
However, a high level Dou Qi technique was extremely difficult to come by as a layman. What was open to the public was the normal Huang class technique. For larger clans or small sects, Xuan class techniques were the norm. For example, in the Xiao Yan clan, their highest level techniques could only be practiced by the clan leader of the – Lion Wind Strike2 clan. It was a Xuan class wind style Intermediate rank technique.
On top of the Xuan class would be the Di class, but this kind of high-level technique might only be obtainable by a powerful state-like organization.
As for the Tian class, in a hundred years, it had not appeared once.
As stated earlier, ordinary people who were trying to obtain a high-level technique were like trying to climb a mountain without equipment. However, nothing is absolute. In the Dou Qi world, there were thousands of clans. In the North, there was a person called 'Undefeated'. They fused their souls with wild beasts and became barbarians. In the South, there were intelligent and talented high-class beast spirit clans, and even strange and famous underworld people.

In the South, there were intelligent and talented high-class beast spirit clans, and even strange and famous underworld people.
Due to the vastness of the continent, there must have been cases of nameless figures who, incidentally, happened to the miracle that made them powerful. Or, perhaps, there might be people bound by fate to find powerful techniques. In the land of Dou Qi, there is one famous sentence: If you find yourself trapped in a ditch or abandoned by the world, do not panic. Take two steps forward and maybe you will find yourself stronger than ever.
Of course, although this sentence was not wrong, in the thousands of years of history on this continent, there were not many stories of people becoming strong by chance.
As a result, every day, there are many individuals who try to break through and discover new skills or techniques, but instead just come back with a broken hip or leg.
Overall, the continent is full of mysteries and wonders.
To access the vault of the Dou Qi technique, you must be at least a complete Dou Zhe to meet the basic requirements. To Xiao Yan, it felt so far away.
Puu Xiao Yan spat out the grass and quickly stood up and made a crazy face. He faced the sky and shouted, “God! How can I play for a fool like this? "
It should be known that in the Dou Qi continent, your spirit is determined at birth. Perhaps, as you get older, it will strengthen a little, but there are no known techniques to train your spirit to become stronger.
Xiao Yan's strong spirit gave him talent, as well as his fame as a genius.
For ordinary people, if they were told that they could become geniuses, there was little doubt that they would claim their fame and live a high life. For an ordinary person like Xiao Yan, when he started training his Dou Zhi Qi, the temptation to be able to become famous would become unbearable. Of course he would not choose to remain hidden and continue practicing!
If there were no accidents, Xiao Yan might be able to grow even more with his 'genius' label'. Unfortunately, at the age of 11, his label was stolen from him and in one night, a genius turned into a piece of trash.
After shouting at the top of his lungs for a while, Xiao Yan finally calmed down and his face calmed back down. No matter how angry he was, he would not be able to regain his strength.
Shaking his head, Xiao Yan felt miserable. He had no idea what was happening to his body, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. His spirit grew with age, as expected. His absorption towards Dou Zhi Qi was also extremely fast. It was faster than the strongest fighter from a few years ago. All of these factors should have meant that Xiao Yan was a natural genius, but all of the Dou Zhi Qi he absorbed seemed to be completely gone. His pride was hit and he could only feel depressed.

All of these factors should have meant that Xiao Yan was a natural genius, but all of the Dou Zhi Qi he absorbed seemed to be completely gone. His pride was hit and he could only feel depressed.
Taking another deep breath, Xiao Yan raised his hand. On his finger was a black ring with a simple design. The material used to make it is unknown. On it were some marks as well. This is the only gift that her late mother gave her before she died. She started wearing it since the age of 4 and even now, 10 years later, she still wears it. It was a precious gift from his mother and Xiao Yan greatly appreciated it. He rubbed the ring and said bitterly, "These few years, I've really let Mom down, huh?"
Sighing deeply, Xiao Yan quickly stood up and turned around, saying to the black figure from the forest: "Dad, why did you come?"
Although his Dou Zhi Qi was only 3rd stage, his spiritual awareness was similar to a 5-star Dou Zhe, perhaps even better. While thinking about his mother, he suddenly felt a disturbance from the forest.
"Ah, Yan Er3. Already late. Why are you still here? ”From within the grove of trees, after a moment of silence, a soft voice sounded.
The trees trembled slightly and a middle-aged man jumped out, his face smiling widely. His eyes were fixed on his son under the moonlight.
The middle-aged man was wearing a gray robe that looked expensive. He walked with pride and dignity and his face showed that. He was the leader of the Xiao clan, as well as Xiao Yan's father, a 5 star Dou Shi – Xiao Zhan!
"Dad, why haven't you returned to rest?" Facing the middle-aged man, Xiao Yan's smile thickened. Although he had a series of other memories, when he was born, the person in front of him treated him with love and care. When he loses his strength and spirit, the love does not diminish but grows instead. This pierced Xiao Yan's heart, making Xiao Yan recognize him as his father.
"Yan Er, are you still thinking about what happened this afternoon?" Taking a big step forward, Xiao Zhan smiled again.
“Ha ha, what to think? That was within my expectations. '' Xiao Yan shook his head and forced a smile.
"Ai ..." Looking at Xiao Yan's gentle face, Xiao Zhan sighed. The two of them were silent for a moment, before Xiao Zhan said: "Yan Er, you are now 15 years old, aren't you?"
"Yes, dad. ”
"Just one more year .. and you should attend the Ceremony of Maturity .." Xiao Zhan said.
"Yes, dad. Only one year left. "Xiao Yan's fist clenched for a while before he replied. He was very clear what the Ceremony of Maturity meant. After the ceremony passed, for Xiao Yan who was not practicing, he would be subject to the criteria of seeking a Dou Qi technique. Since he was so weak, he would be sent to do normal work in other parts of the Xiao clan. This was the rule of the clan and even if the clan leader was his father, he would not be able to do anything about it.

This was the rule of the clan and even if the clan leader was his father, he would not be able to do anything about it.
If one did not reach a Dou Zhe at the age of 25, the clan would be century to them.
"Sorry, Yan Er. If you don't reach the 7th Dou Zhi Qi stage next year, I can't do anything to help you, no matter how much I want. In this clan, I'm not the only decision-maker. There were also old people waiting for me to make a mistake .. ”Seeing the peaceful Xiao Yan, Xiao Zhan voiced guilt.
"Dad, I'll keep working hard. One year later, I will definitely reach stage 7 Dou Zhi Qi! ”Xiao Yan reassured his father.
“4 stages in 1 year? Ahh .. If it was me from before, it was possible, but now .. I might not have much of a chance .. "Although Xiao Yan tried to convince his father, he himself felt bitter about it.
Knowing fully the position of Xiao Yan, Xiao Zhan could only reply with a sigh. He knew that 4 stage Dou Zhi Qi in a year was extremely difficult. He gently patted Xiao Yan on the head, and smiled, saying: "It's a bit late, you should go back and rest. Tomorrow, the clan has guests and you should not miss the ceremony. ”
"Guests? Wh who? ”Ask Xiao Yan, full of curiosity.
"You'll find out tomorrow. '' Xiao Zhan winked at the agitated Xiao Yan, leaving with a wide smile on his face.
“Don't worry, dad. I will work very hard. '' Xiao Yan rubbed the simple ring while raising his head and whispering.
Just when Xiao Yan raised his head, the black ring on his finger suddenly lit up with a mysterious light and flashed. Flashing, Xiao Yan realized it was not human …
