Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 137 The First Family Meeting

"Alright, Young Master Xiao, quickly put away your arrogance!"

Instructor Ruolin slowly recovered from her shock. Looking at the white-haired young man in front of her, she still found it hard to believe. But feeling the extremely oppressive aura emanating from him, she smiled wryly and waved her hand.

When she was in the Xiao family, she heard some things. Xiao Bai started cultivating at the age of five, and by the age of ten he had reached the ninth level of Dou Zhi Li. After that, he had remained at that level and had not been able to break through.

As far as she knew, no one in the Xiao family knew his cultivation level. He was extremely low-key. When the Xiao family mentioned Xiao Bai, the first thing they thought of was that he was a ninth-level Dou Qi.

But what happened during the last recruitment made her realize that this little guy's cultivation level was probably more than just the ninth level of Dou power.

She guessed that Xiao Bai was hiding his cultivation level. She thought that at his age, in a place like Wutan City, he was at most about the same level as the two girls next to him. This was also the reason why she called the three of them aside this time.

But I didn't expect him to be hiding it so well. A mere Dou Ling pretending to be a ninth-level Dou Zhili. I don't know what this guy was thinking.

No wonder Rob and Gore collapsed in front of him so easily; no one knew how he did it.

Seeing that Xiao Bai had suppressed his aura and appeared completely normal, without any fluctuation in his body, Instructor Ruolin lowered her hand from her red lips, slowly exhaled, and stared intently at him with complex and inexplicable emotions. She softly said:

"I originally thought that Xiao Yan's ability to withstand twenty moves from me was already astonishing, but I never expected you to be the most terrifying one!"

"Mentor Ruolin, are you surprised?" Xiao Bai winked at the gentle and mature mentor and teased her.

A strange light flashed in Ruolin's eyes, and she was somewhat speechless. Even with her gentle temperament, she said in a slightly annoyed tone:

"A surprise? You've really given me a big shock!"

"Shocked? Shouldn't it be a pleasant surprise to have a student like me?" Xiao Bai looked at her with a smile in his eyes.

"!" Instructor Ruolin rubbed her smooth forehead with her delicate hand. Surprised? She was indeed very surprised, but this kind of student made her feel very unfulfilled!

She's only a five-star Grand Dou Master, how can she teach a Dou Ling?

And this guy is only eighteen years old! Eighteen years old! She's almost thirty and still stuck at the Grand Battle Master level. How can she bear this?

The Xiao family is known for producing some monsters. Xiao Yan, who took a year off, already gave her a lot of headaches. This one is even more formidable. On his first day at Canaan Academy, before the class assignments even started, he was already thinking of going to the inner courtyard.

"The Inner Court Selection Tournament is still about two months away!" After learning about Xiao Bai's cultivation level, Instructor Ruolin stopped trying to stop him. With his Dou Ling cultivation level, he was already a strong person in the Inner Court, a place where monsters roamed everywhere. Why waste time in the Outer Court?

"Two months!" Xiao Bai pondered.

"Of course, this is the first time I've encountered a situation like yours. If you're in a hurry, I can ask the vice dean for you!" Ruolin, seeing his expression, assumed he was unwilling to wait two months and said.

"No need!" Xiao Bai shook his head and refused.

"Why? You're so young and yet you've already achieved this level of cultivation. Talent is only one aspect; hard work is even more important. Are you really willing to waste two months in this outer courtyard?"

Instructor Ruolin was quite puzzled. Among the people in the inner courtyard she knew, those with high cultivation levels were all cultivation fanatics who wished they could make the most of every minute. Xiao Bai had such cultivation at such a young age, so he must be the same. That's why she offered to ask for his permission.

"Because I want to take them in with me!" Xiao Bai looked tenderly at the two girls beside him. He not only wanted to go in himself, but also wanted to take Xun'er and Xian'er with him. Two months was not a long time, and this period of time was perfect for improving their strength.

Xun'er is fine; her cultivation is proceeding as planned. But Xian'er is different. She possesses the Calamity Poison Body. He changed the plot and brought her here. It's unknown whether some of the powerful figures from Canaan Academy can see through her constitution, or what their attitude will be after they find out. After all, Xian'er's current strength is not yet that of the Dou Zong powerhouse from the original story.

In the original story, she went to the Izumo Empire and grew up there. But what kind of place is the Izumo Empire? Poison masters are everywhere there, so they wouldn't have any prejudice against her.

But this place is different. As far as he knows, countries outside the Izumo Empire tend to have a sense of rejection towards poison masters, let alone someone like her who stands at the top of the poison master hierarchy.

Xiao Bai wouldn't abandon her just for his own sake; at least until he confirmed Canaan Academy's attitude towards the Calamity Poison Body, he wouldn't feel at ease.

"Brother Xiao Bai!"

"noob!"

Upon hearing this and seeing his gentle gaze, the two women were moved and silently came to his side, each taking one of his hands.

Xun'er didn't really care whether she entered the inner courtyard or not; what she cared about was that Xiao Bai would always consider her in whatever he did.

The same goes for Fairy Doctor. She doesn't care whether she comes to Canaan Academy or not. She came here entirely because Xiao Bai wanted to come. As long as he is there, everything is fine!

"No wonder he can have two such outstanding girls revolving around him. This guy really has the looks to back it up. Not only is his cultivation talent amazing, but he's also very good to girls!" Instructor Ruolin looked at the three of them, who were deeply in love, and a hint of envy flashed in her eyes. She envied their youthful affection and their great talents.

The path of cultivation is inherently a solitary journey. To have someone to support you on this path, especially someone you had a deep bond with in your youth, is all the more precious!

As for the three people, Instructor Ruolin didn't care. They themselves had no objections. Besides, on this continent, the strong are respected. Some strong people not only have three wives and four concubines, but some can even have a harem. This is true for male strong people, and it's the same for some female strong people. Although she yearns for that kind of single-minded love, she doesn't reject this situation.

"Alright! You three, how about considering your mentor's feelings? She's still single!" Mentor Ruolin said in a low voice, looking at the three of them who were oblivious to everyone else.

Upon hearing this, Xun'er and Little Fairy Doctor blushed instantly and shrank shyly behind Xiao Bai.

Seeing the two young girls' shy, girlish expressions, Xiao Bai chuckled indulgently, then turned his gaze to Instructor Ruolin in front of him and teased:

With a mentor as gentle and kind as water, how could you possibly not find a good partner?

Instructor Ruolin rolled her beautiful eyes. This guy didn't treat her like an instructor at all. But that was fine. After Xiao Bai revealed his cultivation level, she felt a little unfamiliar and distant.

After all, his cultivation level was much higher than hers, but this guy was very perceptive and noticed her unusual behavior. He immediately cracked a joke and asked her if she was surprised, and that feeling disappeared instantly.

"What a charming guy!" Instructor Ruolin thought to herself. If she had met such a man when she was seventeen or eighteen, she would definitely have fallen for him. It's a pity she didn't!

"Are you really going to take them with you? Why don't you go to the inner courtyard first, and they can stay here to cultivate for another year? Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on them for that year; they won't get lost!"

Instructor Ruolin looked at the two girls behind him. Although they were very talented, she was not optimistic about them entering the inner academy in just two months. If they waited another year, they would have no problem at all!

Although Xiao Bai had a smile on his face, the determination in his eyes told her that he had made up his mind.

"Fine! Since you're confident you can get them in, I won't say anything more!" Instructor Ruolin said helplessly. "However, since you're preparing for the selection competition in two months, why don't you come stay at my place!"

Seemingly noticing the confusion in Xiao Bai's eyes, she explained, "The freshmen in the outer courtyard live in small courtyards with eight people each. You don't want to squeeze in with those freshmen, do you? Besides, there are Xun'er and Xian'er too. Don't worry, my courtyard is very big, and Yu'er lives there too!"

Although this guy is a freshman, he is also a Douling expert. It wouldn't be a big deal if he didn't know that he was living with the other freshmen, but it's a bit unreasonable for him to do it even after knowing.

"Then I'll have to trouble Instructor Ruolin!" Xiao Bai nodded and smiled upon hearing this, without refusing.

Why stay in the new student courtyard when there are better places to live? He's not rigid, and besides, all the women living there are beautiful. Even if he has no romantic feelings for them, it's still pleasing to the eye!

Xiao Bai and his two companions followed Instructor Ruolin to a relatively secluded spot in the academy, where a large courtyard came into view.

"I prefer quiet places. This is the location I chose when I first became a tutor at the academy. Although it's a bit remote, it has the advantage of a tranquil environment and a fairly large area!"

Upon entering the courtyard, Instructor Ruolin assigned each of the three a room before turning and leaving.

After she left, Xiao Bai then led the two women into his room.

"Brother Xiao Bai, don't do anything reckless!" Xun'er said with a slightly flushed face as she saw him hurriedly pulling them into the house.

"What are you thinking about?" Xiao Bai gently tapped her head, clearly annoyed. This girl was becoming increasingly distrustful of him. He continued, "I wanted to tell you about your cultivation progress over the past two months!"

Upon hearing this, both women blushed slightly, secretly cursing the bad guy. After what happened on the first day on the giant eagle, he kept thinking about having women on both sides, which led to their misunderstanding.

"Alright, let's hold our first family meeting of the Xiao family now!" Xiao Bai said with a smile after leading the two to sit down and slowly scanning their pretty faces.

Xun'er's beautiful eyes flickered. She looked at Xiao Bai, then at Little Fairy Doctor, and a smile gradually appeared on her fair face.

Little Fairy Doctor gently pursed her rosy lips, her eyes sparkling with laughter as she looked at the two of them.

Seeing the two of them, Xiao Bai nodded in satisfaction and began to preside over the event.

The main contents of this meeting included: the plenary session listened to and discussed Xiao Bai's plans for the three of them in Canaan Academy, and approved Xiao Bai's decision to arrange for the three of them to enter the inner courtyard of Canaan Academy in two months. At the same time, Xiao Bai also explained the specific implementation details to the plenary session.

In response to Xun'er's current eight-star Dou Zhe cultivation level, Xiao Bai gave important instructions: during these crucial two months, she should be bold and steady, and raise her cultivation level from eight-star Dou Zhe to Dou Shi, so as to ensure that she can advance to the top five in the selection competition and achieve the goal of entering the library.

Xiao Bai emphasized that Little Fairy Doctor should abandon the old methods of taking poison, be bold in innovation, improve efficiency in all aspects, adopt the alchemist's method to refine poison pills, further develop the Calamity Poison Body, and raise the cultivation level of a nine-star Dou Zhe to a mid-level Dou Shi or above within two months, strive for the top five in the selection competition, and achieve the overall goal of entering the Library Pavilion.

Xun'er and Little Fairy Doctor spoke at the meeting, expressing their determination to follow Xiao Bai's instructions and requirements, strengthen their cultivation, vigorously advance their cultivation level, strive to achieve the expected goals, and win glory for their family in the selection competition!

In addition, they also expressed their opinions on some of Xiao Bai's lifestyle. Given Xiao Bai's past character, they severely criticized his philandering and warned him not to engage in philandering during his time at Canaan Academy.

Finally, Xiao Bai gave an important summary of the meeting, expressing his satisfaction with Xun'er and Xian'er's attitude towards cultivation. He also stated that he would do his best to provide them with relevant logistical support, and promised not to attract any romantic entanglements during their time at Canaan Academy. He also congratulated the Xiao family on the successful convening of their first family meeting.

Time passed slowly, and several days went by in the blink of an eye.

In the room filled with bookshelves, seven or eight elderly men sat in chairs around a round table. Judging from their ordinary demeanor, their strength and status were probably not low. After all, ordinary elderly people would not be qualified to sit in the meeting room of the decision-making institute where all matters, big and small, were handled.

At this moment, an elderly man sitting at the head of the round table slowly put down the documents in his hand, looked around the room, and smiled faintly:

"Tsk tsk. This little guy Xiao Bai is really a pleasant surprise!"

A few days ago, Ruolin reported that they had recruited an extraordinary young man, eighteen years old, with the cultivation level of Dou Ling. The old guys were extremely surprised.

It should be noted that Canaan Academy's admission standards are already considered very high by outsiders. Under twenty years old, with a Dou Qi level of eight or above, even with potential value, the highest level is only S-rank five-star Dou Zhe.

But this guy, while everyone else was a Fighting Spirit or a Fighter, was a Fighting Spirit.

"The potential value is indeed very strong. With this level of cultivation, there's almost nothing left to learn at the academy. Although our academy is famous throughout the continent, the strongest graduate from the inner academy each year is only a Dou Wang!" a gray-robed old man said softly.

"That's right, that's why I sent people to investigate him. But even with our powerful information channels, we couldn't find any problems. He is indeed a genius, a genius without any powerful background!" The vice dean tapped the table lightly, a hint of amazement flashing in his cloudy eyes. In Wutan City alone, such a monster had actually appeared.

It's important to know that Canaan Academy has a well-developed training system accumulated over countless years and enrolls so many students, but even within the inner academy, not everyone can reach this level of cultivation upon graduation.

"Let's observe him discreetly for now. As long as he doesn't harbor any ill will towards Canaan Academy, Canaan Academy wouldn't mind nurturing this student with great potential!" The vice-dean waved his hand and made his decision.

"Hmm!" The other elders nodded without objection. Seeing that the vice dean remained silent, they exchanged glances, swayed slightly, and disappeared from the conference room.
