Battle Through the Heavens: Who put Laozi in my storage ring?

"Alright, come in, everyone."

Ruolin waved her hand, signaling everyone to come in.

Luo Bu hung his head, his eyes filled with horror as he looked at Xiao Yan.

"You, go squat down in the sun, put your hands on your head, and stay there all day."

Xiao Yan spoke calmly.

Rob's eye twitched, he gritted his teeth, and looked at Ruolin for help.

Ruolin was also stunned for a moment, stopping in her tracks. She clearly hadn't expected this troublemaker to be so... troublesome, and sighed helplessly.

"You little rascal, we're classmates, why are you acting like this..."

"You didn't stop him when he attacked me," Xiao Yan said calmly. "If I were weak, that one punch would probably have been enough to keep me in bed for months."

"Since Canaan Academy believes in the law of the jungle, then my rules are the rules!"

"Of course, with my cultivation level, it's not that Canaan Academy is not suitable. This Dou Qi Continent is so vast that there are many forces that want to recruit me. You only need to refuse, and I guarantee I will turn around and leave."

"..." Ruolin stared in disbelief, hesitant to speak.

"Go back. If you dare to slack off, I'll make sure you never leave Wutan City." Seeing that Ruolin had nothing more to say, Xiao Yan glanced indifferently at Luo Bu and spoke calmly.

Rob's face was full of shame. Seeing that even Instructor Ruolin was silent, he dejectedly returned to the sun-baked area and squatted down with his hands on his head under the strange gazes of countless people.

Ruolin frowned slightly, but held back, deciding to wait until she fully understood this guy's strength before making a move.

Indeed, judging from the current situation, his cultivation level is probably at least at the Dou Shi level.

A sixteen-year-old Battle Master is someone even the most monstrous talents from the outer academy cannot match.

Moreover, this is also part of her achievements.

The young man was right. A genius is a genius no matter where they are. Being able to recruit a genius of this caliber is indeed a rare opportunity in her life.

Canaan Academy is indeed a place where the strong prey on the weak, and this young man...

Interesting.

Chapter 30: Everyone step back, I'm about to show off! (Two chapters combined)

Inside the tent.

The atmosphere remained somewhat strange, especially with the handsome young man sitting down so casually. No one dared to underestimate him in the slightest. Outside, Luo Bu was still squatting in the sun with his head in his hands, and even Instructor Ruolin's advice had no effect.

"What exactly is your cousin's rating?" Xue Ni asked in amazement, whispering in her ear. Hearing this, several girls around her also perked up their ears, full of curiosity.

“SSS?” Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment.

After all, she only knows that Xiao Yan has broken through to the Dou Shi level, but she doesn't know what star level he is. She imagines that even a one-star Dou Shi would be enough to drive Instructor Ruolin crazy.

"An eight-star warrior?" Xue Ni's eyes widened.

Xiao Yu shook her head.

Xue Ni and the other girls breathed a sigh of relief.

But Xiao Yu hesitated and said, "Not only..."

The girls: ?!

"Alright, what happened just now was an accident. Everyone, please don't be shy. Let's introduce ourselves first." Ruolin looked around, a gentle smile on her face, and pointed to a young man with her delicate hand, saying with a smile, "You're the one. You can go first."

"Luo Feng, Battle Qi, Eighth Stage, Twenty Years Old..."

A young man spoke first.

The atmosphere gradually became more lively, and seeing the little tyrant sitting quietly in the middle, everyone's courage grew.

"Xiao Ning, a one-star Dou Zhe! Twenty years old."

Xiao Ning grinned, a hint of pride in his eyes. Just the day before, he had successfully broken through to the next realm with the Qi-Boosting Powder given to him by Xiao Yan.

"D-rank, not bad, not bad." A hint of surprise flashed in Ruolin's eyes as she glanced at Xiao Yu. Clearly, according to Xiao Yu, this cousin shouldn't be this strong. Could it be that he was holding back even from his mentor?

Xiao Yu looked aggrieved. Who knew that in just six months since she left home, a third-grade alchemist had appeared?

According to her estimation, Xiao Ning's cultivation level was at most the ninth level of Dou Qi, but she never expected that the monstrous genius would make a move and throw a Qi-raising powder over like throwing money, which was simply "generous" beyond human comprehension.

"Little Fairy Doctor, eight-stage Dou Qi, sixteen years old."

Ruolin nodded in acknowledgment. This girl was quite talented, but still far from being the main attraction, so she skipped over Little Fairy Doctor.

The girl was happy to keep a low profile, sitting cross-legged behind Xiao Yan, occasionally protruding a silver needle from her fingertips, which danced like a slender snake between her delicate fingers.

Xiao Yan felt a chill run down his spine.

"Xiao Xun'er, a nine-star Dou Zhe, is sixteen years old."

It wasn't until Xiao Xun'er stood up and walked in front of Ruolin that a gasp of surprise rippled through the crowd: "An expert here?!"

Ruolin paused as she was registering in the register, and looked up at Xiao Xun'er in surprise.

Then the smile in his eyes grew even wider.

"Well, no wonder Yu'er praised you and Xiao Yan so highly and made me wait here. It turns out you have such extraordinary talent."

"Then next, Xiao Yan."

As Ruolin finished speaking, everyone around fell silent, their gazes falling on the handsome young man who was resting with his eyes closed. He had crippled Luo Bu with a single punch; his cultivation level must be at least a six or seven-star Dou Zhe.

Another freak surpassing S-class! Everyone was secretly astonished. How did Wutan City manage to acquire so many prodigies?

Even Xiao Yixian, Xiao Ning, and the others had a hint of curiosity in their beautiful eyes. After all, Xiao Yan's cultivation level had always been a mystery and had never been revealed to them.

Xiao Yan opened his eyes, stood up, walked to Ruolin, and said in a calm tone, "Xiao Yan, a five-star Dou Shi, sixteen years old."

"..."

The entire audience was stunned.

Even Ruolin's red lips suddenly opened wide as she looked at Xiao Yan in astonishment, her beautiful eyes filled with shock.

Five-star Dou Shi! Sixteen years old!

Even among the monsters in the inner courtyard, I doubt anyone could reach such a level.

The moment she submits this report to the academy headquarters, those old guys will probably be so eager to travel thousands of miles to pick her up.

There's no other reason than that these few words contain far too much; barring any mistakes, he's likely to become at least a future Dou Zun.

In this desolate northwest region, it is absolutely worthy of being called a dominant force in the area.

No wonder this young man is so arrogant!

A burning desire surged in Ruolin's eyes. She absolutely, absolutely could not let him escape. If she really did, not to mention those old monsters in the academy, even she herself would not forgive herself.

"Buzz..." Xiao Yan's aura was not concealed, and the light green Dou Shi transformed into a light veil, which was the mark of a Dou Shi.

The group of henchmen who had been following Rob were now pale-faced from the pressure. They couldn't help but look outside and glance at Rob, who was squatting in the sun with his head in his hands, seemingly cursing.

It seems they really did provoke someone they shouldn't have.

Xiao Ning and Xiao Meier, on the other hand, were filled with excitement and a sense of honor.

"Wow...no, that's amazing!" Ruolin took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in her heart.

A gleam of wild joy flashed in his eyes, and he spoke softly, "I see that your main element is fire, with a slight hint of wood. This is the threshold to becoming an alchemist. If you are willing to join my Canaan Academy, there are many elders in the academy who are proficient in alchemy and can certainly help you become an alchemist!"

The tone was slightly enticing, as if introducing the generous conditions of Canaan College.

"What rank is the strongest alchemist in the academy?" Xiao Yan pondered for a moment.

"Probably... fifth rank." Ruolin said softly with a gentle smile.

Upon hearing this, the new disciples inside the tent were all shocked. After all, in their understanding, a first-grade alchemist was already an extraordinary figure, let alone... a fifth-grade one!

Even the Gama Empire probably doesn't have more than a handful of beings of that caliber.

"Then I'm afraid it won't teach me much." Xiao Yan shook his head with some regret. Under Ruolin's astonished gaze, he opened his palm and a dark green flame condensed from his fighting spirit rose up.

"I forgot to mention earlier, but I also have another identity: a third-grade alchemist."

Ruolin was completely stunned, her red lips forming an "O" shape.

She looked at Xiao Yu somewhat numbly, only to see her prized student nod. A little embarrassed, she said, "I'm sorry, teacher, I was afraid you wouldn't believe me, so I didn't mention it..."

"Xiao Yan is indeed a third-grade alchemist. My brother was able to break through to the Dou Zhe level entirely thanks to the Qi-Boosting Powder he refined."

"Should I refine pills on the spot?" Xiao Yan smiled.

"..." Ruolin's throat bobbed, and she shook her head.

Condensing fire is something only a fourth-grade alchemist can do, and judging from this young man's familiarity with and control over flames, it's no exaggeration.

He hadn't just picked up a genius; he'd unearthed an unparalleled prodigy.

"Instructor Ruolin, I think I've passed, right?" Xiao Yan asked.

“Of course!” Ruolin nodded quickly.

"Now, here are my conditions," Xiao Yan said with a smile.

"I need to take a year's leave. If that doesn't work, I'll just leave again." A smile appeared on Xiao Yan's handsome face.
