Xiao Yan hurriedly went to ask Xiao Yu about the Heavenly Fme at Jia Nan Academy. Unfortunately, Xiao Yu didn't know much about it either; she had only heard rumors herself.
She had heard that the reason why the Bzing Sky Qi Refining Tower at Jia Nan Academy was able to increase one's cultivation speed was due to a Heavenly Fme, but as for which specific Heavenly Fme it was, she was not sure. It was nothing more than a rumor after all.
"Why are you asking? I thought you didn't want to go," Xiao Yu said with her arms crossed and her tilted up as she looked at Xiao Yan who had e to inquire.
She had once asked Xiao Yan if he wao join Jia Nan Academy, but his ambiguous answer led her to believe that he wasn't ied in going.
Her return to the this time was mainly for the uping Jia Nan Academy enrollment. She wao see hoeople from the o take the exam and see if she could help them get in through the back door.
As the Little Leader, Xiao Yan's talent and cultivation level were beyond question. Although Xiao Zhan was relut to let Xiao Yan go, he uood the saying, 'Freely fishes leap as the sea is vast enough and birds fly as the sky is high enough.' Wu Tan City was ultimately too small for someone of his son's caliber.
Xiao Yan also uood that he o leave Wu Tan City and explore the world to grow stronger. sequently, he had devised a series of pns to take dowher two major s before departing.
"e on, I'm an alchemist. Wanting a Heavenly Fme is only natural. Since Jia Nan Academy has one, of course I want to go."
Xiao Yu was taken abad quickly said, "Don't be reckless, you little pervert. Jia Nan Academy isn't like Wu Tan City. No one will be able to protect you if you cause trouble there."
"The existence of a Heavenly Fme in the Bzing Sky Qi Refining Tower is just a legend. Even if there is o belongs to Jia Nan Academy. It's not something anyone simply take."
Seeing Xiao Yu's anxious look, Xiao Yan patted her shoulder and took on the air of aed hermit. "Rex, I know what I'm doing. As the Little Leader, I'll ehe safety of our members, even in Jia Nan Academy. This Young Master has your back."
...
Half a year had passed in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Yan shook his head somewhat helplessly as he looked around at the grounds, now noticeably emptier.
Today, the recruitment team from Jia Nan Academy was scheduled to arrive in Wu Tan City, and even those in the who khey didn't qualify had run off to watch, leaving the pce deserted. By now, the gates of Wu Tan City were likely blocked by crowds of people.
"These folks, passing Jia Nan Academy's assessment isn't as easy as just showing up," he muttered as he slowly made his way to the city gate.
When Xiao Yan arrived at the main square of Wu Tan City, he couldn't help but squeeze his temples at the sight of the massive, frenzied crowd. Evey's garrison was on duty to maintain order for fear of any flicts that might arise.
He had inquired about the enrollment process at Jia Nan Academy. The first step was to stand in line and have one's cultivation level and age checked. Jia Nan Academy only admitted students uhe age of twenty, and their cultivation had to be at least at the 7th-stage Dou Disciple.
The saying 'teach without discrimination' did not apply to the Dou Qi ti.
Every year, a rge number of people would e and try to sneak in through the back door.
"Ha, ran into a snag, did you? Even our super-genius Little Leader has his moments," Xiao Yu couldn't help but snort with delight when she saw Xiao Yan's frustrated look.
She had arrived at the square early tanize and brief the members. Now she could finally see Xiao Yan, this little pervert, at a loss, and she couldn't be more thrilled.
Xiao Yan rolled his eyes and was too zy to pay any attention to her.
"Sister Xiao Yu, you must have a way, right?" Xiao Mei grabbed Xiao Yu's clothes and cooed.
Xiao Yu straightened her pretty nose, patted her already blossoming chest, and said with a smile, "e with Sister."
She proudly said as she walked, "The person in charge of this year's recruitment in Wu Tan City is my instructor. As her favorite student, I've already spoken to her in advance."
Watg Xiao Yu raise her long, sexy legs ahe way to the other side of the square, Xiao Yan held out his hands in resignation to Xun Er, who covered her mouth and giggled.
Seeing Xiao Yan at a disadvantage was indeed a rare sight.
"Let's go, I'm not too fond of crowded pces either."
Xun Er smiled lightly upon hearing this and nodded, following Xiao Yan.
Although they talked about taking the back door, not all members of the Xiao could follow; only Xiao Yan, Xun Er, Xiao Ning, and Xiao Mei, the four most talented members of the , were allowed to take it.
The other members who barely met the criteria had to line up for the test as usual.
The group followed Xiao Yu to the back of the square, where fully equipped soldiers had formed two or three yers of encirclement. Their ons carried a cold glint whider the hot sun, reflected the pierg rays.
Xiao Yu briefly instructed Xiao Yan and the others before stepping forward alone. She pulled a green card from her bosom and spoke softly to an officer-like soldier. After a brief versation, she waved for Xiao Yan and the rest to e over.
The middle-aged officer's cold gaze swept over Xiao Yan and his panions. Only after a while did he wave his hand and order, "Let them through!"
The sound of g armor followed the officer's and. It made a sound as a narrow path, just wide enough for people to pass through, sloeared.
After putting away the jade card, Xiao Yu led the way, followed closely by Xiao Mei and Xiao Ning, with Xiao Yan and Xun Er bringing up the rear.
'Huh?' Xiao Ya a ess on his skin the momeepped onto the narrow path. The expressionless soldiers surrounding them emitted a st of blood from their bodies, causing those who had never experienced such a formation to feel an intense pressure that made it difficult to breathe.
'This is a battle formation?' He remembered reading about it in a book from the ste ring. After tempering their wills, troops returning from bloody battles could unleash a kind of battle formation that exerted pressure on the soul.
Xiao Yan and Xun Er, with their higher cultivation levels, didn't have much of a problem. However, Xiao Ning, Xiao Mei, and even Xiao Yu, who had retively lower cultivation levels, were trembling, their faces drained of all color.
The short distance of less than teers felt like a thousaers to Xiao Mei and Xiao Ning.
Xiao Yan frowned and released his powerful Spiritual Strength. It was worth noting that he was now a 2nd-tier alchemist, capable of refining high-grade 2nd-tier medial pills, and also had a strand of Bone Chilling Fme within him.
His Spiritual Strength carried a mixture of cold a.
When Xiao Yan released his Spiritual Strength, all the soldiers felt the mix of cold a and involuntarily stepped back. Even the leading officer took half a step back. The entire oppressive formation was dispersed at this moment.
Xiao Yu and the others quickly turo look at Xiao Yan as they felt a wave of warmth from behind and the icy ess disappearing. There was no doubt it was his doing.
All the soldiers looked at Xiao Yan with surprise. Their formation had been shattered by a teenager!
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and move. Why are you blog the path?" Xiao Yaeo be oblivious and spoke indifferently.
Only then did Xiao Yu e to her senses and hurriedly lead Xiao Ning and the others out of the narrow path. She turo the middle-aged officer and said, "Senior Ke, did you deliberately try to make things difficult for us?"
The middle-aged officer smiled apologetically, turo Xiao Yan, who remained calm, and said with cupped fists, "This must be the Little Leader of the Xiao . My as were merely part of my duty. Please five me for any offense."
Xiao Yan responded with cupped fists, "No offeaken. It was my misuanding."
As he watched Xiao Yan and the others leave, the middle-aged officer smiled and said, "It seems that Instructor Ruo Lin will gain an excellent student this year."
