BTTH: Starting with Binding Xiao Xuner, Tenfold Feedback

At the regular testing convention of the Xiao Family.

"Xiao Yan... Dou... Dou Qi?"

"...Fourth stage!?"

The middle-aged man hosting the test also froze, his eyes filled with astonishment as he looked at Xiao Yan.

The words of the middle-aged man stirred up a thousand waves.

The Xiao Family disciples waiting for the test around also showed expressions of astonishment, their eyes filled with doubt, shock, disbelief, and various other emotions.

The reason for such reactions was because Xiao Yan was a rare genius in the Xiao Family for a hundred years.

A year ago, when Xiao Yan was tested here, there were shining golden words on the magic stone: One-Star Dou Zhe!

It caused a sensation throughout the Xiao Family, and even gained fame in the city of Wutan.

An eleven-year-old One-Star Dou Zhe, an absolute genius with unlimited future achievements!

The Xiao Family, from top to bottom, even envisioned the future where Xiao Yan would lead the family to glory!

And in the past year, Xiao Yan did not disappoint expectations. He devoted himself even more to cultivation, almost cutting off contact with outsiders.

Most of the time, when the Xiao Family disciples saw Xiao Yan, he was always in a hurry.

Sometimes, they wouldn't see him for ten days or even half a month, as he secluded himself in his room for cultivation.

The only one who had a lot of contact with Xiao Yan was probably his younger brother, Xiao Ze, the fourth young master of the Xiao Family.

Xiao Yan's level of effort satisfied most of the elders in the Xiao Family, and even served as a motivation for their own children.

Look at Xiao Yan, such a genius, and yet he works so hard. Don't you know you should practice harder?

This was the most common phrase heard among the younger generation of the Xiao Family during this year.

Even Xiao Family's eldest elder, who had a difficult relationship with the family patriarch, had personally said this to his grandson, Xiao Ning.

He urged him to learn from Xiao Yan's diligence and not idle away his time.

However, after a year of diligent cultivation, Xiao Yan, the most talented genius in the Xiao Family's hundred years, instead of progressing, regressed in cultivation, falling from a Dou Zhe, and even slipping to the fourth stage of Dou Qi.

This was what shocked the surrounding Xiao Family disciples the most. After the shock, discussions ensued.

"What's going on? Wasn't Master Xiao Yan a One-Star Dou Zhe? Did the testing magic stone malfunction?"

"How could it malfunction? I was the one who tested it last, and it was accurate. I'm a Five-Star Dou Zhe!"

"Then what's the situation with Master Xiao Yan now?"

"What else could it be? His strength has regressed!"

On the testing platform, Xiao Yan clenched his fists.

The shocked and incredulous gazes of the people below, the discussions filled with doubt, all deeply pierced his heart.

Although he had mentally prepared for such a situation since falling from being a Dou Zhe, when it actually happened, it still made him feel so uncomfortable.

Xiao Yan silently stepped down from the stage, ignoring the discussions of the crowd, and left straight away.

On a small hill outside the square, Xiao Ze leaned against a tree, his hands supporting his head, looking relaxed.

"Finally, it's three years before the start of the plot. My big brother is about to endure three years of ridicule and sarcasm."

Xiao Ze was also a transmigrator. He started practicing at the age of four and discovered he had bound a feedback system.

When the bound person became stronger, he could receive tenfold feedback synchronously.

The two choices that were once in front of Xiao Ze. One was Xiao Yan, the son of destiny, destined to achieve the title of Flame Emperor.

The other was Xiao Xun'er, the arrogant daughter of heaven, with terrifying talent and a deep background.

After careful consideration, Xiao Ze decided to choose Xiao Xun'er as his bound object.

Xiao Yan's future was promising, but his path was fraught with difficulties.

It could be said that his success was almost irreplicable.

If he made a slight mistake, or lacked willpower, he could die instantly.

Especially when Xiao Yan accepted the inheritance of the Ancient Emperor, his physical body had been shattered countless times. His survival depended entirely on his unwavering willpower.

And Xiao Yan's growth path in the early stages was also quite difficult, especially when absorbing the different fires, which carried great risks.

Compared to Xiao Yan, Xiao Xun'er's path of growth was much smoother.

With top-tier talent and an astonishing background, many times Xiao Xun'er's cultivation was not inferior to Xiao Yan's, and even surpassed him in combat power!

Xiao Xun'er's bodyguard was a high-ranking Dou Huang. In the territory of the Gamma Empire, almost no one could threaten her life.

Even if someone could threaten her life, wouldn't her father, who was at the peak of Dou Sheng, have left behind some protective measures?

Coupled with Xiao Xun'er's identity as the young miss of the Gu clan, she was basically guaranteed to reach the peak of Dou Sheng!

Two broad paths lay before Xiao Ze, and he chose Xiao Xun'er in the end, for safety.

After all, Xiao Yan could encounter accidents at any time, and his presence might greatly influence Xiao Yan.

Whether Xiao Yan could continue to uphold the protagonist's luck, Xiao Ze couldn't know.

With his system and Xiao Xun'er's guaranteed peak Dou Sheng, his achievement of Dou Di should not be a problem.

So Xiao Ze decisively chose Xiao Xun'er as his bound object.

[Notification! Xiao Xun'er's strength has increased, reaching the ninth stage of Dou Qi! Host receives tenfold feedback!]

[Congratulations! Host's strength has increased to Nine-Star Dou Zhe!]

Xiao Ze looked at the notification that appeared this morning, his eyes filled with a smile.

"Xiao Ze, you seem to be quite happy here alone!"

The tender and delicate voice of a young girl suddenly sounded.

With her hands behind her back and her upper body slightly leaning forward, Xiao Xun'er playfully peeked out from behind Xiao Ze, looking down at him.

Although from Xiao Ze's perspective, the girl's beautiful face was upside down, it did not diminish the breathtaking beauty she already possessed to some extent!

Xiao Ze and Xiao Xun'er were of the same age, with Xiao Ze being a few months older than her, just a year older than Xiao Yan.

They had been practicing together since they were children. Xiao Ze's bound feedback system made his cultivation speed astonishing.

He often guided Xiao Xun'er and even helped her nurture her meridians.

Of course, because of the system, his strength had greatly increased, and his mastery of Dou Qi was also very high.

So nurturing meridians only required touching hands to help Xiao Xun'er nurture her entire body's meridians.

Although its usefulness was not that great.

But Xiao Ze's help made Xiao Xun'er feel warm at the time.

The two of them had a great relationship, childhood sweethearts until now.

"I'm certainly happy. I'm lying here thinking about someone~"

Xiao Xun'er's smile froze for a moment, and there was a subtle hint of displeasure in her tone, though hardly noticeable.

"Xiao Ze, are you thinking about which beauty?"

"Yes! I'm thinking about a beauty named Xiao Xun'er."

"You smooth talker!" Xiao Xun'er lightly scolded with a smile.

However, the displeasure in her tone had disappeared without a trace, and her smile had returned.

"It seems like something happened to Cousin Xiao Yan..."

Xiao Xun'er sat down, looking at the tall testing stone monument in the distance, and said thoughtfully to Xiao Ze.
