Chapter 1041 Canaan Academy_1

"Xun Er, I, Xiao Yan, owe you an apology."

Xiao Yan's heart was breaking at this moment, blaming everything on himself.

If it weren't for him, how could Xun Er have been deceived by Xu Ran?

Only when Xun Er uttered those ruthless words did he realize how much it must have hurt her when he had misunderstood her in the past. He had thought that Xun Er had betrayed him and had spoken such harsh words—what damage did that do to her?

Xun Er was such a good girl, never caring about his status or his strength. Even when he was at his lowest, Xun Er was still good to him, silently encouraging him from behind.

Xun Er was truly an angel.

How many girls like Xun Er could there be in the world?

He had had the most perfect treasure in the world and had not cherished it.

Xiao Yan slowly got up from the ground and walked toward the outside.

Although it was heartbreaking, he couldn't change the fact. But he didn't care, just as Xun Er didn't care about his downfall and was kind to him all the same. Although Xun Er now belonged to another, he still loved her very much.

If Xun Er was willing to return to him, he would still be good to her.

He had to become stronger, and then he would take Xun Er back once again.

"Xu Ran, you've won. But I will come back."

"I don't know what your purpose is in coming to the Xiao Family, I just hope you won't harm them," Xiao Yan stopped, looking at Xu Ran.

"Of course, I naturally won't harm them, at least not now. Those people are of no use to me. As long as they don't provoke me, I naturally won't make a move. Of course, perhaps if I am in a bad mood one day, I might go on a killing spree, who knows?" Xu Ran snickered. The people of the Xiao Family were insignificant to him; he had no interest in them whatsoever.

Moreover, Xiao Mei and Xiao Yu now had a good relationship with him.

Although Xiao Yu was not truly with him yet, it was only a matter of time. So, generally speaking, he wouldn't act against the Xiao Family. Xiao Yan was useless, but he had no grudge against the Xiao Family.

Of course, if doing so could stimulate Xiao Yan to grow faster, he didn't mind doing some bad things.

Such as those related to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan's potential was still very great. If it hadn't been for wanting to show off in the three-year challenge, Xiao Yan would not have cultivated so diligently. Now that the three-year challenge was gone, he naturally had to put greater pressure on Xiao Yan.

"Xu Ran, what exactly do you want?" Xiao Yan glared angrily at Xu Ran.

He truly wished Xun Er could see Xu Ran's true colors.

But, those shameless words were spoken to him in secret by Xu Ran; Xun Er would not hear them.

Xu Ran was truly despicable.

"I just want to put some pressure on you. I think you have great potential, and I want to train you into a strong expert," Xu Ran said righteously.

"Sometimes, you need to look at things from a different angle. If it weren't for me, even if you had the opportunity, you couldn't grasp it. But my arrival allows you to practice cultivation desperately. Isn't that a good thing? People should learn to be grateful."

"Ha ha. You caused me to lose Xun Er and took away my fiancée, forcing me to be expelled from the family... making me without a home, without love, and you want me to be grateful to you?" Xiao Yan trembled with rage; if only he knew he was no match for Xu Ran, he might have already struck him.

It's truly an absurdity.

However, there was one thing he truly would do with more effort.

These days, his sleep was very short, and he trained night and day, just so that one day he could trample Xu Ran underfoot.

He didn't believe that he would always be inferior to Xu Ran.

"Xu Ran, just wait. I'll be back soon," Xiao Yan didn't want to talk with Xu Ran any longer. He wasn't a match for Xu Ran, and to continue talking would only bring him shame.

Watching Xiao Yan's staggering departure, Xu Ran thought of Tang San.

Indeed, if it wasn't for him, how could Tang San have become so strong in the end? Although he was ultimately suppressed by his overpowering strength, at least he had his moments to shine.

After Xiao Yan left, Xu Ran continued to sleep with Xun Er in his arms.

He knew that Xiao Yan would soon go to the Magic Beast Mountain Range.

There, Xiao Yan would meet Xiao Yi Xian and Yun Yun.

Especially Yun Yun, back then she was almost in Xiao Yan's grasp. Now Xiao Yan was nothing like his original self from the story. Given another chance to be alone with the beautiful Yun Yun, he definitely wouldn't let it go. Of course, Xu Ran wouldn't allow such a thing to happen.

The beautiful Yun Yun was his to claim.

A mere Purple Crystal Winged Lion King was nothing in his presence.

Once Yun Yun was injured, he could step in.

As for Xiao Yi Xian, from then on, she wouldn't possibly have any relation with Xiao Yan.

But considering Xiao Yan's pace, it would take some time before he could reach Xiao Yi Xian, so Xu Ran was naturally in no hurry.

...

Ever since he became intimately close with Xun Er, the relationship between Xu Ran and her had become much closer. Xu Ran spent all day with the two beauties, and occasionally focused on the art of Alchemy.

His strength was great, and many things came to him naturally. Even though he hadn't undergone systematic training, he definitely wouldn't fall short of any Ninth Grade Alchemist. In other words, even by using the Alchemy methods of the Fighting Spirit Continent, he could now concoct Ninth Grade Elixirs.

A Ninth Grade Alchemist, if word got out, it would shake the entire Continent.

Ever since Xu Ran last saved Xiao Yu, the relationship between him and Xiao Yu had also improved greatly. However, Xiao Yu was clearly aware of Xu Ran's flirtatious nature and hadn't fully clarified their relationship.

And the recruitment of Canaan Academy was approaching quickly.

...

Though the recruitment team of Canaan Academy was stationed in Wu Tan City, the area they were responsible for included several other cities nearby, so when Xu Ran and the others hurried to the designated recruitment square, they were dumbfounded by the endless sea of people.

On the vast square, waves of noisy clamor rose to the sky as countless young people desperately shoved their way into the square. Had it not been for the troops from the City Lord's mansion maintaining order at the edges of the square, these excited crowds would have charged in without a second thought.

As a dominant academy, Canaan Academy had significant influence in the entire Ga Ma Empire, even stronger than Yunlan Sect.

The foundations of Canaan Academy were not something Yunlan Sect could compare to, as Canaan boasted several Dou Zong experts.

Moreover, Canaan Academy was an academic institution, which granted freedom upon gaining sufficient strength to graduate. However, sects were different; once you joined a powerful sect, it was nearly impossible to leave.

"So many people," Xiao Mei, seeing such a scene for the first time, tightly held Xu Ran's hand and looked around in amazement. Under Xu Ran's guidance, Xiao Mei had already become a Dou Shi, but although her strength had increased, her temperament remained the same as before. Canaan Academy used to be her dream, and now it was within her reach.
