Battle Through the Heavens: Obtaining the Inheritance of a Dou Di at the Start

Chapter 10 Three Years in the Blink of an Eye

Xiao Ce took the scroll from Xun'er's hand and looked at it.

"Wow, even the lowest level is a low-grade Xuan-rank combat skill. Xun'er really lives up to her reputation as a little rich girl!"

Combat techniques are different from cultivation methods. The higher the grade of a combat technique, the more demanding the cultivation conditions are, and the higher the requirements are for the depth of combat energy.

Five Xuan-rank combat skills are just right for him at this stage.

If you really gave him a level-one fighting technique, I'm afraid even if you drained all his fighting spirit, he might not be able to unleash it.

Beside her, Xun'er's little face beamed with a bright smile.

"As long as Brother Xiao Ce is happy, that's all that matters."

Ling Ying, who was hiding in the shadows, witnessed this scene and suddenly felt a toothache.

"That brat from the Xiao family is utterly shameless! He's so young, yet he already knows how to live off women. Do you think he can possibly live off his mistress?"

He is now in a dilemma, wondering whether or not to report this matter back to his clan.

If this matter were to be reported back to the clan, I would likely face severe punishment.

However, if you pretend you didn't see anything, nothing will happen for the time being.

But once the young lady grows up, given her importance to the ancient clan, what if she falls in love with someone from the fallen Xiao family while under his care...?

Ling Ying's head ached more and more as she thought about it.

If such a thing were to actually happen, he would probably be chopped into mincemeat by those stubborn old elders in the clan.

The thought sent chills down Ling Ying's spine.

"Brother Xiao Ce."

"Um?"

"Now that you're being taken care of by Xun'er, Xun'er orders you to spend the whole day playing with her tomorrow, or she'll take back all your fighting skills."

"Brother Xiao Ce, you don't want me to take back your fighting skill, do you?"

Hearing Xun'er's Japanese-style speech, Xiao Ce was slightly taken aback, then let out a strange laugh:

"Hehehe, since Sister Xun'er has said so, of course I will obey."

......

Xun'er gave Xiao Ce five fighting techniques: the low-level Xuan-rank "Mountain Collapse Fist", the mid-level Xuan-rank "Flame Dragon Palm", the mid-level Xuan-rank "Crimson Flame Shield", the high-level Xuan-rank "Swallow Counterattack", and the high-level Xuan-rank "Nine Turns of the Soaring Dragon". These techniques cover three types: attack, defense, and movement, making them very comprehensive.

In addition to his regular cultivation, Xiao Ce also devoted a considerable amount of time to practicing these combat techniques.

After all, a large part of his talent lies in combat skills. If he doesn't make use of it, wouldn't it be a waste of such talent?

Moreover, Xiao Ce had already mastered many Yellow-Rank combat techniques to perfection, including fist and palm techniques.

With these foundations, practicing the same type of techniques can also have a beneficial effect.

Spring goes and autumn comes, and three years pass in the blink of an eye.

In the afternoon, sunlight filters through layers of leaves on the back hill of the Xiao family, casting dappled shadows on the ground.

Under a large, leafy tree, a boy leans against the trunk, leisurely half-lying down.

He looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in a moon-white robe. He was tall and slender, with handsome features, fair skin, and a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth, carrying a faint smile.

The young man was none other than Xiao Ce.

Three years have passed, and he has grown much taller. His face has lost some of its youthful immaturity, and he exudes a calm and composed demeanor.

At this moment, he had his hands behind his head, one leg was casually bent, and the other leg was straight. His eyes were half-closed, and it was unclear whether he was daydreaming or dozing off.

Everything seemed very quiet and comfortable.

Just then, a slender figure crept over unnoticed and silently peeked out from behind the tree.

This is a girl, about thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing a light purple dress, with long, black hair cascading down her back, except for a few strands that fall beside her ears, swaying gently in the breeze.

The girl has delicate features and stands tall and graceful. Although her face still has some childishness, it is not hard to tell that when she grows up, she will definitely be a stunning beauty.

The girl was naturally Xiao Xun'er.

She appeared behind Xiao Ce, a touch of girlish playfulness on her face, then held her breath and slowly reached out her hand.

These are extremely beautiful hands, with long, slender fingers, fair as jade, and a faint pinkish glow.

As she approached Xiao Ce, she suddenly quickened her pace and blindfolded him.

"Guess who I am?"

Xun'er deliberately lowered her voice, as if trying to disguise it as the voice of a stranger.

However, no matter how well the girl tried to disguise it, her youthful and immature voice still revealed many flaws.

Perhaps Xun'er didn't really intend to deceive Xiao Ce; she was just enjoying the feeling of playing around.

Under the tree, Xiao Ce did not move at all, but the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.

He had noticed Xun'er the moment she appeared, but he simply remained silent and cooperated with her.

"Hmm..." Xiao Ce let the girl's soft hands block his view, and deliberately dragged out his voice as if he was thinking seriously, "Let me guess."

Xun'er didn't reply, but leaned closer to Xiao Ce.

A delicate fragrance unique to young girls wafted into Xiao Ce's nostrils on the breeze.

"I think the person standing behind me right now must be the most beautiful, the cutest, the most well-behaved, and the most sensible girl."

"Isn't that right, Xun'er?"

Xiao Ce's voice carried a hint of teasing as he reached out and grabbed Xun'er's slender wrist, pulling it away. He then turned his head and immediately saw Xun'er's delicate face with a touch of rosy cheeks.

Especially at this moment, Xun'er leaned down, and the two were very close. So when Xiao Ce turned his head, the two were face to face, almost touching.

At such close range, their eyes met, and the blush on Xun'er's cheeks quickly spread outwards, until it tinged her earlobes pink, and her heart began to beat faster.

Looking at Xiao Ce's increasingly handsome face and the teasing smile on his lips, Xun'er's emotional stirrings grew stronger with age.

"Brother Xiao Ce, all you know how to do is say nice things to make Xun'er happy."

Xun'er's voice carried a hint of reproach, but the joy in her eyes was impossible to hide.

"However... Xun'er likes to listen to it."

After saying that, she walked around to sit down next to Xiao Ce naturally, hugged her knees with both hands, looked at Xiao Ce with a blush on her face, and her eyes seemed to be filled with starlight.

Looking at her joyful, shy, and somewhat childlike expression, Xiao Ce couldn't help but reach out and ruffle her hair, the gesture as natural as if he had done it a thousand times before.

"This isn't just to flatter you, it's the truth."

Xun'er enjoyed Xiao Ce's caresses, like a kitten whose fur had been stroked, feeling content and satisfied, with a smile on her face.
