Chapter 3 - Chapter 3: Calling You Weak, You Really Are Weak

When Xiao Xue was six years old, a loli named Xun'er came to the Xiao Family, and successfully caught the attention of a certain Trash-protagonist.

Then, upon discovering her Cheap older brother trying to sneak into the room next door at night, Xiao Xue didn't hesitate to give him a sound beating.

We both went through Transmigration, so why are you so criminal?

In the original work, a certain Xiao Yan ran into Xun'er's room when they were young and inexplicably abducted the innocent little girl.

After all, at that time, Xun'er had no clear concept of certain things, unlike a certain fire attribute user who engaged in heavy metal industry.

Ling Ying probably saw that Xiao Yan was just a brat at the time, so he didn't take it to heart, which is why this happened.

After all, although Ling Ying was the protector of the Young Miss, he wouldn't go as far as to watch what she was doing in her bedroom. It was understandable that Xiao Yan took advantage of the loophole.

However, Xiao Xue naturally wouldn't watch an ignorant young girl be abducted by someone whose Soul was practically that of a middle-aged uncle.

Anyway, her Cheap older brother had plenty of female confidantes; he certainly didn't need Xun'er.

If they ended up together naturally in the future, Xiao Xue would naturally offer her blessings, but if it were a matter of exploiting an information gap to deceive an innocent young girl, she couldn't stand it.

Thus, Xiao Xue struck hard, and since her Cheap older brother knew he was in the wrong, the matter was settled privately between them and didn't blow up.

Afterwards, she successfully caught the attention of that certain Young Miss.

Perhaps because like attracts like, or perhaps because they were of similar age, Xiao Xun Er was very close to Xiao Xue and always wanted to find something to do with her.

Of course, what could children do? It was just for the sake of playing.

But Xiao Xue, who was a fake bun, was naturally too lazy to play those games she considered childish.

Therefore, in those first few years, Xiao Xun Er, who looked for Xiao Xue every day in the Family, naturally didn't get her wish.

What you can't get is always stirring; as the Young Miss of the Ancient Clan and a proud daughter of heaven, Xiao Xun Er was naturally dissatisfied with Xiao Xue's reaction, so she started butting heads with her.

Through this back and forth, Xiao Xun Er naturally developed a great interest in Xiao Xue, and as time passed, their interactions increased.

Now, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call the two of them childhood sweethearts.

Originally, upon discovering that Xiao Xue hadn't come to find her today, Xiao Xun Er had intended to go find her.

However, after hearing from Ling Ying that Xiao Xue was in the middle of a Breakthrough to become a Dou Practitioner, Xiao Xun Er decided to let her focus on the Breakthrough first.

There was no helping it; how many years had Sister Xue been stuck at the Ninth Stage of Dou Qi?

It was rare for Sister Xue to have an epiphany and for her Bottleneck to loosen, so she should strike while the iron was hot!

If she didn't push through now that the channel was open, what if... it closed again later?

Therefore, Xiao Xun Er did not disturb Xiao Xue, and next door, Xiao Xue's Breakthrough process had entered a critical period.

In Xiao Xue's view, a Breakthrough to become a Dou Practitioner was a bit like a lottery, because she didn't know what kind of attribute Qi she would eventually obtain.

According to common sense, the attribute of Qi could be measured.

Before the juniors of the Xiao Family became Dou Practitioners, they could go to the Qi Pavilion to select a Cultivation Technique suitable for their own attribute.

However, no matter how Xiao Xue tested her attribute, it could not be measured.

The elders in the Family all linked this to her inability to improve her cultivation.

Everyone believed that the reason Xiao Xue could not make any further progress after Cultivating to the Ninth Stage of Dou Qi was that her Qi had no attribute!

Perhaps it was for this reason that Xiao Xue was unable to condense a Qi cyclone and achieve a Breakthrough to become a Dou Practitioner!

However, Xiao Xue felt that there was a high probability that her Qi attribute was "Water".

Because, in these fourteen years on the Fighting Qi Continent, on rainy days or in places with a lot of water, her Soul Power perception was significantly stronger than usual.

Therefore, there was a high probability that her Qi was of the Water Attribute.

On the Fighting Qi Continent, with the existence of Heavenly Flames, the upper limit of fire attribute Qi naturally had a theoretical maximum value.

Relatively speaking, the "Water" attribute, which was opposite to "fire attribute", was seen as slightly inferior by the natives of the Fighting Qi Continent.

After all, just like how "fire attribute", "Thunder", and other attributes could be used for attack, and "Wood" attribute could be used for healing, etc., other attributes of Qi all had their own "specialties".

People who possessed Qi of that attribute naturally had a clear "development direction".

Yet "Water" did not have outstanding performance in any aspect.

Relatively speaking, its attack power was not high, and in terms of flexibility, it was not as good as "Wind" which could float; even when used for support, the effect of "Water" was somewhat lackluster.

Moreover, controlling formless "Water" was much harder than controlling tangible "Ice".

Coupled with the high upper limit and high status of the fire attribute, "Water" was naturally not very valued.

Therefore, looking at the entire original work, Xiao Xue did not find many people with "Water" type Qi; there were more of its offshoot, "Ice".

Xiao Xue was still looking forward to seeing what her Qi attribute was; of course, it was impossible for her to be nervous.

With the System in hand, what was there to be nervous about?

Even if it was water, she could still make it shine.

The upper limit of "Water" was much higher than what the natives of this continent speculated, by more than just a little bit.

There is no Trash attribute, only a Trash Dou Practitioner. (Just kidding)

As Xiao Xue changed her hand seals, the surging Dou Zhi Qi in her body, as if subjected to a violent suction force, suddenly and rapidly contracted towards the position of her lower abdomen.

Following her movements, the pale white Dou Zhi Qi in the meridians throughout her body began to retreat in unison.

And when all the Dou Zhi Qi had shrunk to the lower abdomen, that pale white Dou Zhi Qi had already begun to turn into a pale blue color.

Xiao Xue focused her mind, and with her outstanding Soul Power perception, she instantly gained control over the Dou Zhi Qi in her body, and then began to compress it frantically.

Driven by her Soul Power perception, that mass of pale blue Dou Zhi Qi began to resist, tossing and turning violently.

Although the power of the resistance was not weak, compared to Xiao Xue's Soul Power, it was undoubtedly a mantis trying to stop a chariot; after a brief stalemate, it began to shrink helplessly.

"Bang!"

A soft muffled sound quietly rang out within Xiao Xue's body.

With the muffled sound, that faint sense of resistance instantly dissipated into thin air.

Feeling the abundant energy in her body, a smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Xue's lips.

After slightly moving her somewhat numb legs, Xiao Xue assumed the Cultivation posture again, exhaled gently, closed her eyes slightly, and her mind gradually sank into her body.

Internal vision.

An auxiliary skill that could only be mastered at the Dou Practitioner level; the higher one's strength, the more thoroughly one could explore the situation inside the body.

As her mind sank into the lower abdomen, a palm-sized pale blue cyclone was slowly rotating.

On the outer periphery of the cyclone, a layer of energy gas resembling flowing clouds wrapped around it.

Watching this small cyclone with her mind, Xiao Xue nodded with satisfaction.

Although the cyclone was currently very small, the energy contained within it was definitely more than ten times stronger than the previous Ninth Stage of Dou Qi!

A Dou Practitioner and the Ninth Stage of Dou Qi were almost fundamentally different.

The energy absorbed before becoming a Dou Practitioner was called Dou Zhi Qi, while the energy absorbed after becoming a Dou Practitioner was called true Qi!

Although there was only a one-character difference between the two, the gap between them was like heaven and earth, with no comparison whatsoever.

Xiao Xue's heart moved slightly, and her Mental Energy controlled the Qi cyclone, causing a wisp of pale blue Qi to quickly separate from the cyclone.

Soon, a mysterious ripple spread out from her body.

This translucent ripple spread in all directions, like ripples on a water surface, rippling outwards.

"This... this is!"

After hearing that Xiao Xue had started her Breakthrough, Xiao Xun Er had been paying attention to Xiao Xue's situation.

Facing the situation before her, even with Xiao Xun Er's steady temperament, she almost exclaimed out loud.

"Qi Projection! The Qi Projection that only a Great Dou Master can achieve!"

Xiao Xun Er's delicate body trembled, her mind shocked.

She turned her head to look at Ling Ying, and in his eyes, she also saw shock and horror.

This girl, she is terrifying!

As for Xiao Xue, the person involved, she had already entered a very mysterious state.

She only felt that she was now soaking in a hot spring, and a warm force was slowly merging into her body.

Xiao Xue, dressed in a green dress, slowly opened her eyes; her originally black eyes had actually turned a beautiful blue.

The moment Xiao Xue opened her eyes, she lightly waved her sleeve, and the tea in the teacup on the table immediately gathered in her palm, forming a ball of water.

Her Qi attribute was—Water.

Now, Xiao Xue's affinity for water was extremely high, and it was estimated that it would not be weaker than a certain God King next door.

Besides her Qi having the Water Attribute, she seemed to have additionally acquired a certain ability to control water.

Xiao Xue lightly flicked her fingertips, and the tea in her palm immediately followed her movements, slowly floating up to her lips.

Xiao Xue parted her red lips slightly, drank the tea, relaxed her body a little, and sat cross-legged to begin Cultivating again.

A moment later, Xiao Xue opened her eyes, nodded secretly, and said in her heart: "Not bad, not bad, the water inside the human body can also be controlled."

That would be amazing!

The human body contains a large amount of water, therefore, the ability to control water is far from as simple as imagined!
