Chapter 1044: Pursuers of Xiao Yu_1

The slightly charming face was adorned with a splendid smile, a head of brown hair casually tied into a ponytail, and a pair of ample bosoms that could only be described as luxurious. With her slender waist and pert, round buttocks, Xue Ni's explosively devilish figure inevitably drew men's covetous gazes, many of the youths who had passed the test couldn't help but turn their attention towards her.

Xiao Yu affectionately held Xue Ni's hand, and from the look on her face, it was apparent that the two shared a great relationship.

Xue Ni?

Xu Ran furrowed his brows lightly.

His impression of Xue Ni wasn't deep.

In the Fighting Spirit Continent, there weren't many he remembered as being significant. Since Xue Ni's appearances in the Fighting Spirit Continent's storyline were few, naturally, Xu Ran didn't have a strong impression of her.

However, this was indeed… quite impressive.

Even Ya Fei seemed to pale in comparison.

Ya Fei was enchanting and seductive, while Xue Ni could only be described as… exaggerated.

"They are all members of my clan; this is Xun Er, hehe, pretty, isn't she? But don't get any ideas, she's not interested in you, and this is Xiao Mei, she's also quite something," Xiao Yu turned his head to look at Xu Ran, his eyes gleaming with teasing.

Xue Ni's eyes sparkled as she gazed over Xun Er and Xiao Mei, and she exclaimed in admiration, "Wow, there are so many beauties in your family. If they enter Canaan Academy, they'll turn all those male beasts head over heels for sure."

"But…"

Xue Ni glanced towards Xu Ran, somewhat taken aback.

Xu Ran indeed had attractive features, with his heroic eyebrows and starry eyes.

What was more significant was that Xu Ran was hand in hand with both Xun Er and Xiao Mei, two great beauties, clearly in a romantic relationship.

For a moment, she was also stunned.

Xun Er and Xiao Mei's beauty could be considered amongst the top at Canaan Academy, truly outstanding great beauties.

How had Xu Ran managed to have two such beauties willing to be with him together? This was indeed quite the rarity.

Even within Canaan Academy, this was not common.

"Who is this guy?" Xue Ni couldn't help but ask, her gaze on Xu Ran having a hint of discontent.

This made Xu Ran involuntarily wear a stern face.

If it weren't for the fact that Xue Ni was a delicate girl, Xu Ran would have been inclined to take action. What the devil was she doing staring so intently at his women? Could it be that Xue Ni was…

Recalling Xue Ni's intimate behavior with Xiao Yu just now, Xu Ran suddenly felt like he understood something.

This couldn't be…

"This is a friend of mine; he's very capable," Xiao Yu quickly said, worried that Xue Ni might provoke Xun Er and Xiao Mei. It was alright for her to take advantage when things were normal, but to provoke Xu Ran would be awful.

Xue Ni's strength was nothing compared to Xu Ran's.

"Very capable? Is he that strong?" Xue Ni looked at Xiao Yu with watery eyes, her pupils filled with moisture.

She was indeed curious. Even though she wasn't much interested in men, upon seeing Xu Ran, she couldn't help but take a few more glances. It was her first time seeing such an attractive guy, and the more she looked, the better he seemed.

"Hmm. You'll find out when the time comes. Just don't go picking fights with anyone, okay?" Xiaoyu reminded her.

"I know, I know — why would I trouble someone you brought?" Xueni assured, then asked with suspicion, "Are you really just ordinary friends with him? Why are you so nervous? Are you afraid I'll bully him?"

"I'm worried you'll be the one getting beaten up."

Xiaoyu curled her lip. Xueni bullying Xu Ran?

Xu Ran was no ordinary student joining Canaan Academy. With his abilities, he could easily enter the Inner Court, or even become a teacher at Canaan Academy.

"Me, beat up? I'm a Four-Star Fighter, are you kidding me?" Xueni responded with irritation, thinking Xiaoyu was joking. She might believe there were some geniuses more powerful than her in bigger cities.

But in this little Wu Tan City? How could that be possible?

"Xiaoyu isn't wrong, don't go provoking that person," the middle-aged military officer also spoke at that moment.

"Senior Ke, you..." Xueni looked at the middle-aged officer with some disbelief. Senior Ke had graduated a long time ago and had reached the Great Fighter Rank.

Could this guy really have some exceptional skills?

"Hee hee, fine then, follow me. I'll take you there." Xueni quickly changed her demeanor, hiding the look of wateriness in her eyes. Just as she was about to turn around, she suddenly paused, tilted her head, and said with a smile, "Oh, right, I forgot to tell you — Rob is in the recruitment group this time too. And on the way here, I heard he advanced to a Four-Star Fighter."

At this news, Xiaoyu's smiling face suddenly darkened, and she said, annoyed, "That annoying guy is here too?"

"He came to see our beautiful Xiaoyu, of course. He's been pining for you all this way," Xueni teased.

Biting her silver teeth lightly, Xiaoyu's expression went through several changes, and then she suddenly turned her head and stared at Xu Ran.

At that moment, Xueni also noticed something was off.

Could it be that Xiaoyu also had some history with Xu Ran? Wouldn't that mean Xu Ran had won the affection of three exceptional beauties?

What exactly was this guy's deal?

As Xiaoyu's best friend, she knew very well that Xiaoyu was not the type to fall for someone just because of power or status. To win Xiaoyu's heart, one had to have real talent.

"Could this guy really be that impressive?" Xueni felt an itch of curiosity but thought if Xu Ran truly had something with Xiaoyu, Rob's arrival would test it out.

At Canaan Academy, Rob could put Xu Ran to the test.

As the group approached the green tent, they could see more than a dozen young men and women segregated into small circles, chatting leisurely in the pleasant shade of the tent. Their casual demeanor indicated they were probably students from Canaan Academy, just like Xueni.

The ones outside were the new students who had passed the examination.

Inside the tent, a few female students, who were chatting, suddenly looked up to see Xiaoyu and the others slowly approaching. A look of surprise appeared on their faces, and they excitedly rushed over, encircling Xiaoyu in a bubbly crowd, chattering incessantly. Clearly, Xiaoyu had good relations at Canaan Academy. These girls were quite pretty, but when compared to Xueni or Xiaoyu, they were a bit lacking.

"Stop it. We've got serious business to attend to," Xiaoyu said, backing away and fending off the girls' handsy advances.

And then, Rob finally appeared.

"Xiaoyu, long time no see. I've missed you so much these days." A young man dressed in grey-white clothing approached excitedly, his eyes flashing with greed as he gazed at Xiaoyu, reaching out to embrace her.

At Canaan Academy's Outer Court, Xueni and Xiaoyu were the absolute school beauties. However, Xueni's unconventional thinking led to Xiaoyu being the target of almost all the Outer Court's attention. Rob was naturally one of them.
