Dimension Demon's Chat Group

Chapter 236 Entrance Test
Only after receiving Xiao Yan's assurance did Xiao Zhan accept the three powered armors with peace of mind.

In this way, the safety of the Xiao family is guaranteed to a certain extent before Xiao Zhan's cultivation level advances, and even if Yun Leng leads an attack in the future, they will have the strength to fight back.

Of course, compared to the mere Grand Elder of the Yunlan Sect, the Soul Palace's covetousness was of paramount importance.

But if the Soul Palace really intends to kidnap his father as depicted in the original story, Xiao Yan has no way to prevent it and can only seek help from the powerful figures in the group...

"When do you plan to leave?"

Just as Xiao Yan was thinking this, his father's slightly complicated voice rang out again.

He snapped out of his reverie, looked at his father's familiar face, and smiled slightly, saying, "Ten days from now!"

"Ten days..."

Xiao Zhan paused for a moment, then said thoughtfully, "The Canaan Academy's recruitment team will arrive in nine days. Are you planning to take the academy's test first, and then go to the Monster Mountain Range for training?"

Xiao Yan smiled and said, "Not bad!"

Xiao Zhan looked at him intently and asked, "Are you confident?"

Xiao Yan smiled without saying a word and removed the cultivation suppression from the jade pendant.

In an instant, a scorching aura rose from his body and spread throughout the entire room.

Xiao Zhanli sensed it and was immediately startled. He looked at him with a face full of joy and said, "You little brat, you've actually advanced to the eight-star Dou Zhe without making a sound!"

After the initial surprise, Xiao Zhan realized how terrifying Xiao Yan's cultivation speed was, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

During the last clan test, Xiao Yan was only at the eighth level of Dou Qi. Now, in just a few months, he has jumped nine levels and become an eight-star Dou Zhe...

Such terrifying talent is beyond description; it's practically monstrous!
Looking at the solemn expression on his father's face, Xiao Yan smiled and said, "So far, only you and my teacher know about this matter. I understand the principle that the tallest tree in the forest will be felled by the wind, so I asked my elders for the secret technique of concealing my aura to suppress my cultivation."

"...You're quite sensible."

Xiao Zhan smiled wryly, "You've said everything, I don't know what to say anymore."

Xiao Yan chuckled to himself.

Xiao Zhan couldn't help but laugh when he saw his expression.

The father and son looked at each other and smiled. After laughing for a while, Xiao Zhan stopped smiling and pondered, "The tallest tree in the forest will be felled by the wind. This is indeed a great truth."

"However, there is no need to be overly cautious at the Fighter stage."

"Especially when facing a behemoth like Canaan Academy, whose students come from all over the continent, and whose number of peerless geniuses is as numerous as carp crossing a river."

"If you can't demonstrate exceptional talent, it might be difficult for you to get this leave!"

Xiao Yan smiled and said, "Father, please rest assured, I know what I'm doing."

Xiao Zhan understood his meaning and immediately laughed heartily, looking at him with a face full of satisfaction, saying, "In that case, I, your father, will wait nine days to witness the birth of the Xiao family's genius!"

……

……

Having resolved the Xiao family's affairs, Xiao Yan could finally focus on his cultivation.

Alchemy is not a proper form of cultivation. Although it can steadily improve one's cultivation level, the cultivation speed is definitely slightly slower.

Moreover, a considerable portion of the potent Qi-gathering powder that Xiao Yan had previously taken still remained dormant in his body.

As long as he activates this medicinal power during cultivation, his cultivation level can improve at a faster pace.

Thus, in just nine days, his realm broke through again, reaching the level of a nine-star Dou Zhe, and even the Qi vortex in his body showed a slight tendency to liquefy.

Xiao Yan originally planned to break through to the Dou Shi level in one go.

But the old doctor felt that his foundation was unstable and insisted that he stop for a while.

Xiao Yan also felt that his breakthrough was too fast and he needed to settle down, so he followed Yao Lao's advice.

After all, in the original story, he stayed in the Monster Mountain Range for more than eight months before he finally advanced to the ninth star after obtaining the Purple Flame.

Now, thanks to the chat group, eight months have been saved. Even if the progress continues at the original pace, by the time the three-year agreement is reached, I will at least be a Dou Ling!
Of course, these are all for later.

With the chat group at his disposal, Xiao Yan didn't think that the mere Dou Ling level would be his limit.

On the ninth day after the confrontation with her father, the Canaan Academy's recruitment team finally arrived in Utan City.

At this moment, the gates of Wutan City were packed with people, and almost all the major forces, including the Xiao family, had gone to the city gates to watch.

The young people of the Xiao family had anticipated the crowds in this place before they arrived.

But when they saw the massive crowd, they couldn't help but look astonished.

"Are there any young people of that age in Wutan City?"

"Haha, you didn't know that!"

Xiao Yu, who had already entered Canaan Academy, put his hands on his hips and smiled smugly: "Although the recruitment team has moved here, the area we are responsible for is not only Wutan City, but also all the surrounding cities!"

No wonder there were so many people!
The young people of the Xiao family looked enlightened.

Xiao Yan, however, already knew about it, so he wasn't surprised.

"Cousin Xiao Yu, seeing how smug you are, you must have a way to let us test it sooner, right?"

"Hmph, now you know to call me 'cousin'?"

Xiao Yu snorted lightly, her expression slightly smug, and said, "To be honest, the person in charge of recruiting students in Wutan City this time is my mentor at the academy. As my mentor's student, I naturally have a way!"

"follow me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Yu took two long strides and led everyone toward the west side of the square.

Before long, they circled around to the back of the square, where the army sent by the city lord to maintain order was stationed. Although they had Xiao Yu's connections, it wasn't easy to get in through the back door. They had to walk all the way to the recruitment area under the watchful eyes of these battlefield warriors, enduring the thick aura of killing intent and blood.

Xiao Yan already knew the plot, so he didn't care.

The other young people in the Xiao family, however, turned pale and their legs went weak under the stare of those expressionless eyes.

If it weren't for Xiao Yan, Xun'er, and others leading the way, it would have been difficult to reach the end of this arduous path.

In the original novel, Xiao Yan went to take the test on the second day after the recruitment team arrived.

But this time, he already knew there would be even more people on the second day, so he chose to conduct the test on the first day.

Just as he had predicted, there were more people watching the show than taking the test on the first day, and not all the people from other cities, except for Wutan City, had arrived yet.

Even those who have already arrived want to see other people's tests first, to get a better understanding, before taking the test themselves.

At the same time, for this reason, there were fewer students assisting Instructor Xiao Yu in the tests than in the original work.

Fortunately, the male student who liked Xiao Yu wasn't there, so Xiao Yan was happy to be free and didn't have to act as a shield for Xiao Yu's cousin like in the original story, dealing with that typical villainous extra student.

Soon, everyone met the mentor that Xiao Yu had mentioned in the tent that had been set up in the square.

Looking at the mature and pretty woman in green with a full and exquisite figure and a smiling face, Xiao Yan blinked and thought that this should be Ruolin, the mentor he had stood up for two years in the original work!

Upon seeing her mentor after so long, Xiao Yu was overjoyed and immediately threw herself into the arms of the woman in green, showing a rare display of girlishness.

"Master, Yu'er misses you so much!"

Professor Ruolin asked with a smile, "Did you have a good holiday?"

Xiao Yu said with a grin, "Not bad!"

After saying that, she let go of his hand and turned to look at the crowd outside the tent.

Following his gaze, Instructor Ruolin smiled slightly and said, "These must be people from your Xiao family. They look quite good. They should have all passed the tests outside, right?"

Xiao Yu said proudly, "Of course!"

The outer court test at Canaan College is very simple.

The initial test only requires reaching the eighth level of Dou Qi to pass.

The subsequent tests are essentially interviews with the mentors. With very few exceptions, the only hard standard is a potential value.

"According to the standards of Canaan Academy, the eighth level of Dou Qi is considered to be of F-level potential."

"Nine-stage Dou Qi is E-level, a one-star Dou Zhe is D-level, a two-star Dou Zhe is C-level, and so on, with the highest level being S-level for a five-star Dou Zhe..."

"Of course, there is an age limit for the above potential, which is under twenty."

"Since you have all passed the preliminary test, you have at least met the F-level standard. However, whether you will receive more attention depends on your actual age and abilities!"

Is a five-star fighter the same as an S-rank fighter?

Xun'er blinked, and after a moment's thought, whispered to Xiao Yan, "Isn't S-rank potential a bit too eye-catching?"

Xiao Yan glanced at her and said in a low voice with a slight smile, "What, afraid of stealing my thunder?"

"how come……"

Xun'er blinked, revealing a slightly aggrieved expression.

Even so, Xiao Yan understood that Xun'er did indeed have this concern.

After all, his revealed cultivation level was only two-star Dou Zhe, barely reaching C-level, which was indeed somewhat inferior to Xun'er's talent that surpassed S-level.

"Don't worry, Xun'er!"

Xiao Yan said confidently, "Just show off your talent, don't worry about me!"

Seeing Xiao Yan's appearance, Xun'er seemed to be deep in thought, as if it confirmed some of her guesses.

Meanwhile, Instructor Ruolin had already begun the final interviews. Starting from the left, all the new students who had passed the preliminary test, including the young people from the Xiao family, announced their age and cultivation level in turn.

Unfortunately, before Xiao Yan and Xun'er, the most outstanding one was only a seventeen-year-old one-star Dou Zhe.

Based on his potential, this guy is only a D-rank, but even so, Instructor Ruolin was quite pleased.

Therefore, it is evident that the potential value classification of Canaan Academy is quite valuable.

When it came to Xiao Yan and Xun'er, Instructor Ruolin couldn't help but show anticipation.

She had heard Xiao Yu mention her two younger siblings before and knew that they were both quite talented. Even if they couldn't reach A or S level, they could at least reach C or B level, right?

Under everyone's gaze, Xiao Yan chuckled and said, "Xun'er, shall we go first, or shall we go first?"

Xun'er blinked and smiled faintly, "Xun'er should go first. If Brother Xiao Yan goes first, I'm afraid no one will care about Xun'er's grades..."

Instructor Ruolin looked at the young couple with amusement.

She is, after all, a tutor at Canaan Academy. She has seen countless geniuses in the past, and even an S-level genius, there is one in the academy now.

In her opinion, no matter how talented these two kids were, they could never surpass the one in the academy.

His humble demeanor made her unable to suppress a smile.

"Alright, then let this little girl go first!"

"..."

Xun'er smiled faintly and said casually, "Xiao Xun'er, a six-star Dou Zhe, age... sixteen, I suppose!"
