Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 136 Canaan Academy

(Just to explain, for some reason, the chapters I uploaded before were older ones. I just noticed the problem when I checked the comments, and it has now been corrected. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, and I will definitely pay attention to this in the future!!)

Due to its unique geography and terrain, the Black Corner Region is arguably the most chaotic region on the entire continent. Countless outlaws from all over the continent, having nowhere else to turn, gather here and together they establish the rules that govern this place.

Because of this, almost every race has gathered here, making it a miniature version of the Dou Qi Continent.

Here, there is no order, no laws, only one thing: the law of the jungle!

This rule is extremely pure and fully embodied here: the weak are dominated by the strong, and have no human rights whatsoever.

Every day, a large number of powerful individuals die here, but new powerful individuals constantly pour in. Don't be surprised if you encounter advanced cultivation techniques, fighting skills, pills, and various medicinal herbs and treasures that are rarely seen elsewhere, because these people brought them in from somewhere on the continent.

Many of these items are smuggled goods, making this the best place to sell stolen goods; it's a notorious black market on the mainland.

In this dark place, a refreshing stream emerged: Canaan Academy, making one sigh that it was a case of things turning into their opposites.

Canaan College is like a haven of peace in this dark land.

Three days passed in a flash, and nothing unusual happened during that time.

Xiao Bai, who was in the small room, seemed to sense something and came out. He glanced at the sky above, which had become somewhat gloomy since entering the Black Corner Region, and then his gaze fell on a small town that was faintly visible in the haze between two majestic mountains in the distance.

"Peace Town, we've arrived!"

"Fellow freshmen, get ready, this is our final destination!"

A deep voice, imbued with the aura of a Battle King, resounded throughout the entire flight formation, instantly turning the previously quiet giant eagle into a noisy mess.

These are the strong individuals from Canaan Academy who are protecting the new students. Although Canaan Academy is renowned in the Black Corner Region, it has also offended many people, so they need to be careful. These are lessons learned from blood and tears over the years.

But it seems we didn't encounter any attacks during this trip; we were lucky!

The flight team landed on an open space outside Peace Town. The first thing that caught their eye was the huge, menacing tree at the entrance. Its dark trunk exuded a chilling aura, and some corpses were vaguely visible hanging from its branches. A gentle breeze blew, and as it swayed, it made a chilling creaking sound.

The group of newbies had never seen anything like this before. Some of them turned pale and broke out in a cold sweat, while others even started vomiting.

"This is the Death Tree. It was once covered with corpses, including a Battle Emperor and two Battle Kings!"

"Watch closely, everyone. This is why Canaan Academy has been able to establish itself in this chaotic Black Corner Region, and it's also the first lesson I'm going to teach you. Remember, within the boundaries of this town, you will be protected by Canaan Academy. But outside of here, the Black Corner Region is like this: the strong prey on the weak, and the weak will only be hung from trees. So, do you still have any excuse to be lazy and not cultivate?"

The elder who was protecting the team stood in front of the big tree and spoke loudly to all the new students.

"Alright, now let's begin. Each admissions instructor will lead their students to Peace Town, board the griffins, enter Canaan City, and then into the academy!"

Xiao Bai watched this scene calmly, hearing whispers from some senior students. He knew this was an old tradition of Canaan Academy, and every freshman would go through this process before enrollment.

Led by their mentor Ruolin, the group slowly entered Peace Town. As they passed through the town gate, they felt a strange fluctuation sweep over them.

"Don't panic, everyone. This is a detection method used in Peace Town to check if someone is wanted by Canaan Academy!" Instructor Ruolin began to reassure them when she saw that some people were a little flustered by the fluctuation.

It has to be said that she has a really good personality and is very dedicated. However, Xiao Bai felt a little tired for her. Other mentors would just ask the senior students who accompanied them to take care of her, but she did everything herself!

Surrounding Canaan Academy is a vast primeval forest, teeming with high-level magical beasts and posing considerable danger.

Xiao Bai stood on the griffin, looking at the green area that kept passing by below. He seemed to remember that the Earth Core Tempering Milk, which was guarded by the Snow Demon Ape, was in this forest.

No rush, let's look for it again when we have time!

An hour later, the outline of a vast city slowly appeared in everyone's sight. To Xiao Bai's surprise, even from the air, he could not get a complete view of the entire city, which showed how big the city was.

A moment later, the griffin flock landed in front of a huge stone gate. Xiao Bai looked at the solemn and elegant stone gate, on which were four characters written in a flamboyant style: Canaan Academy!

Upon entering the academy, Instructor Ruolin led everyone through all the necessary procedures before having senior students show them around.

"Xiao Bai, Xun'er, Little Fairy Doctor, you stay!"

Ruolin, the mentor, called the three of them over; she had expectations for them.

"Class assignments will begin tomorrow. Your teacher hopes you can stay in my class, Class 2 of the Yellow Division!" She asked, her eyes filled with anticipation.

The instructors at Canaan Academy are evaluated for professional titles. This evaluation is based not only on their academic achievements but, more importantly, on the performance of their students within the academy. These are the most crucial evaluation factors.

Upon hearing this, Xun'er and Little Fairy Doctor looked at Xiao Bai, their meaning clear: wherever he went, they would go.

Seeing this, Instructor Ruolin looked at Xiao Bai speechlessly, wondering what charm he had that made these two outstanding girls revolve around him.

"How about it, Young Master Xiao? Consider it doing your mentor a favor!"

"I'd like to know when the Inner Court Selection Competition will be held?" Xiao Bai didn't care where it was held. In the Xiao family, he couldn't reveal his cultivation level because he was afraid of attracting the attention of Protector Wu and causing trouble for the Xiao family.

In the original story, he didn't know how the Xiao family was exposed, and Xiao Yan was only a Great Dou Master at that time.

Although it was because of Yunling of Yunlan Sect's revenge, how could the Soul Palace confirm that the Xiao family of Wutan City was the same Xiao family they were looking for? There is more than one family with the surname Xiao in the world.

The only possibility is that the Soul Hall is investigating level by level. When a family reaches a certain cultivation level and has the surname Xiao, they will be investigated by the Soul Hall. That's why he was particularly low-key when he was in the Xiao family.

However, while he had to be subservient to the Xiao family, he would strike hard at Canaan Academy!

"You're going to participate in this year's selection?" Instructor Ruolin frowned, then said:

"Are you aware that the Inner Academy selection competition only chooses fifty people each year? These are all senior students, with at least the cultivation of a mid-level Battle Master, and the top few even possess the strength of a Great Battle Master. Are you sure you want to participate?"

Xiao Bai offered no explanation, unleashing his aura. Instantly, Instructor Ruolin felt her breath catch in her throat, speechless with astonishment:

"Fight the Spirits!"

Sorry for sending the wrong chapter.
