BATTLE THROUGH THE HEAVEN
CEREMONIES

The Coming of Age Ceremony had so many separate steps and was so complicated that it could make one's head start to hurt.

Sitting under the platform, Xiao Yan watched the young man on the platform being led like a puppet. He could not help but rub his forehead as he said to Xun Er beside him: "The Coming of the Age Ceremony. It was clearly torture. ”

Watching Xiao Yan's sad face, Xun Er smiled as she said: “Can't help it; this is a rule passed down since ancient times and even Xiao shu-shu won't dare to change it. ”

Xiao Yan sighed as he nodded weakly. Just as he was about to fall asleep, his eyebrows surged as he sensed that someone was staring at him. With a narrow of his eyes, he looked to the left of the platform.

There stood Xiao Ning, full of spite while watching Xun Er and Xiao Yan. When he looked then looked back, he quickly raised his fist, aggressively.

“Idiot. ”

Lightly saying this word, Xiao Yan's gaze moved slightly to the left, to Xiao Yu who was standing beside Xiao Ning. His eyes swept boldly on his long legs and i until his face turned green, before he finally looked away with a cold smile.

From the side, Xun Er smiled to herself while watching Xiao Yan's antics, feeling a little helpless. When it came to Xiao Yu, Xiao Yan seemed to lose his usual calmness and always provoked him until he was completely enraged.

Lying on the cold wooden chair, Xiao Yan enjoyed the sweet fragrance of the girl beside him, while waiting with his eyes closed.

When the Arrival Age Ceremony had run around half, in turn it was finally Xiao Yan.

After hearing the shouts from the stage, everyone on the guest platform looked at Xiao Yan with curious or suspicious eyes. For most of them, though, most of the reason why they were here at the Xiao Clan's arrival ceremony was to see the young man who had caused a commotion in Wu Tan City and to see if he was similarly explained in the rumors.

Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes and the gazes from around him made him feel like a monkey in the zoo, causing him to shake his head in surrender.

With a light breath and a passive face, Xiao Yan stepped slowly onto the platform under everyone's gaze.

The coming age ceremony was held by the second elder Xiao Ying. Although the second elder never gave any sympathy to Xiao Yan, he rarely went out of his way to harass Xiao Yan. Moreover, since the day of the preliminary examination, he had already softened a little. At the very least, the scorn that had previously been clearly visible on his face was no longer visible on the wrinkled old face.

With a complicated expression in his eyes, Xiao Ying sighed in his heart as he looked at this young man who had turned the table in his life. His face trembled slightly as he picked up the materials needed for the ceremony before walking towards Xiao Yan.

Seeing the second elder walking towards him, Xiao Yan remembered the previous fussy and boring ceremony and had a migraine. With a bitter smile, he closed his eyes and waited for his fate.

……

Under everyone's eyes, Xiao Yan stood up like an idiot for half an hour before the complex bureaucratic scene finally ended.

After all the complicated steps were completed, the second elder wiped off the sweat on his forehead and turned towards the black stone monument shouting: "Test Ceremony!"

The ceremonial test is the same as the previous month's test which is only a preliminary test. The motive of the previous test was to let the elites of the clan be chosen, so that they could take the arrival of the actual age ceremony on the main stage, whereas the rest of the 7 Duan and below clan members would only have a simpler ceremony that was rather seedy

The Ceremonial Test was much more accurate compared to the preliminary test because this time, the test was personally examined by two star Dou Grandmasters, the second elder of the Xiao Clan. It showed how serious the Age Arrival Ceremony was.

TL: Dou Zhe -> Dou Master -> Dou Grandmaster

With the cry of the second elder, those who were already bored out of their minds suddenly focused as they sent their attention to the platform.

On the Guest Platform, almost everyone sitting there was also staring at the black-clothed youth. The purpose of their visit today was to confirm whether the young man who had driven the entire Wu Tan City four years ago would resurrect Wu Tan City again.

Ignoring the burning gazes around him, Xiao Yan calmed down as he walked to the black monument.

While watching the calm Xiao Yan, the dry hands of the second elder touched the Black Monument as a strand of his Dou Qi was pushed into it to test it out. After which, he stepped aside and joined the others in staring at Xiao Yan. Even though he was present at the testing earlier, he couldn't help but wonder: Did this kid really get 7 Duan Qi?

The shock of Xiao Yan's performance greatly affected this second elder and he specifically requested to be in charge of the Arrival Age Ceremony so that he could ensure that he personally tested Xiao Yan!

Ignoring the questioning gaze of the second elder, Xiao Yan's hand slowly touched the black monument ….

Watching Xiao Yan touch the monument, Xiao Yu could not help but furrow his brows while turning his head to whisper to Xiao Ning: "Has he really gotten to 7 Duan Qi?"

Since Xiao Yu had just returned home two days ago after asking for a break from the academy, he was not there to witness Xiao Yan's initial testing and thus was still suspicious about his achievements.

Asked by his sister, Xiao Ning nodded as he said, “Ya. That person must have eaten something that helped him jump 4 Duan Qi in just one year. ”

After his question was confirmed once more, Xiao Yu fused his lips together while stomping his feet in annoyance. While angrily looking at the young man on the platform, her beautiful face showed her stubbornness as she thought: Without me actually seeing it, it is me who is, I would not believe that the cripple had changed his circumstances.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yu sneered as he said, "That kid must have done something last time but with the second elder checking it out this time, I will …"

Before he could finish his thoughts, Xiao Yu's face stiffened as the other words stuck in his throat.

On the tall wooden platform, the huge black monument shone brightly when golden words appeared on the monument: "Dou Zi Qi: 8 Duan!"
