Chapter 148 Ruo Lin's Test, The Time of an Incense Stick

Xu Ran had an indescribable aura about him; standing there, he even reminded her of those super geniuses from the inner court of the academy!

No!

Even the haughtiness of those fellows from the academy paled in comparison to his.

Merely that demeanor could make one's heart tremble.

And Xu Ran's strength surpassed her imagination – how terrifying was that? Two senior students from Canaan Academy had their lives so easily erased; such power was far beyond that of a Fighter.

It seemed a bit too monstrous.

At least in the outer court, she had never encountered someone so terrifying.

On the Fighting Spirit Continent, strength reigned supreme. Gela and Rob had provoked Xu Ran of their own accord, so their deaths at his hands were not a big deal. If it had been inner court disciples, there might be some trouble, but no one cared about the outer court disciples. Such matters could be big or small, depending on Xu Ran's worth.

If Xu Ran himself had little value, killing someone from Canaan Academy would certainly lead him down a path of death.

Without protection for Canaan Academy's disciples, who would dare to join Canaan Academy in the future?

But if Xu Ran's value was high, fully compensating for the loss of the two dead Canaan Academy disciples, then this incident would be considered Xu Ran's rightful self-defense.

In the world of adults, there are only interests.

However, Xu Ran's performance just now was sufficiently impressive, even exceeding Ruo Lin's expectations. Such a person naturally had to be recruited into Canaan Academy.

But before that, she needed to suppress Xu Ran's arrogant momentum.

Without having really entered Canaan Academy, he was already so rampant—what about later? If an inner court disciple provoked him, would he dare to kill too?

And to think he dared to show such disregard for Canaan Academy?

Canaan Academy was a den of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, with super geniuses whose strength was even more terrifying than that of their tutors.

Xu Ran's audacity to so blatantly disregard Canaan Academy displeased her.

She thought Xu Ran was simply too young and impetuous, not realizing there is always someone stronger out there.

"Tutor Ruolin, it really was Gela and Rob who provoked Xu Ran first, and moreover, that guy Rob attempted to act indecently toward Yu Er, which is why Xu Ran became enraged," Xue Ni hastily explained.

In this world, there weren't many men who could stir her heart, and Xu Ran was certainly one of them.

She did not want Xu Ran to anger the tutor over this incident and then be unable to join Canaan Academy.

"Hmm?" Ruo Lin looked toward Xue Ni, her delicate brows slightly furrowing, but her beautiful face was filled with gentleness. Ruo Lin was somewhat surprised. How long had it been? Xue Ni was already speaking up for Xu Ran? Didn't Xue Ni used to be disinterested in men? Let alone pleading for one.

"Yes, tutor. It's truly what they deserved. Although Xu Ran maybe went a bit overboard, but…" the other girls also stood on Xu Ran's side. During their time at the academy, Gela and Rob had not refrained from taking advantage of them. Now that they were dead, although the girls were still somewhat shaken, they did not feel Xu Ran was in the wrong.

These guys had often bullied the weak in the academy; it was only natural for them to face the consequences when they crossed someone they shouldn't have.

"This guy, to charm them so quickly, what will happen once he goes to the academy?" Ruo Lin couldn't help but click her tongue. So many of her students siding with Xu Ran was a surprise to her.

Already capturing the hearts of girls at such a young age, what would the future hold?

Especially when he was also so handsome, strong, ruthless in his actions, and possessed a pride not common among the youth.

Such a boy was indeed almost every girl's ideal type.

"Tutor Ruolin, if you don't believe us, you can ask others; they all saw it, too," Xiao Yu pointed to the new students nearby.

"Tutor Ruolin, it was indeed them who provoked Xu Ran."

"Xu Ran did nothing wrong."

"Xu Ran is a hero."

Dozens of new students also spoke up.

They had also been bullied by Rob and the other older students before, so they felt relieved when they died. In their hearts, Xu Ran was not just the Killing God but also someone who dares to stand up against authority.

Moreover, they had all entered Canaan Academy from here, so if they were bullied after joining the academy, they might have a backer. Naturally, they did not want Xu Ran to encounter any problems.

"Although it was Rob's fault this time, the crime does not warrant death."

"As students of Canaan Academy, even we tutors do not have the right to take their lives," Tutor Ruolin said with a smile, her eyes brimming with water as she looked at Xu Ran, her thoughts inscrutable.

"Since you're so confident, why don't you spar with me? If you can last the time it takes an incense stick to burn, I'll let bygones be bygones. I might even let you receive the best resources from the Outer Court," Ruolin said, smiling.

"Otherwise, even if I don't pursue the matter, the academy certainly won't let you off. I can't possibly bear the pressure of the academy just to save you alone. You have to prove your worth first," Ruolin said earnestly.

At that moment, her expression became slightly more solemn.

Being able to so easily wipe out Gela and Rob proved that Xu Ran's strength was at least at the Dou Shi level.

So this request was not difficult.

At the Dou Shi Level, she could just go easy on him during the fight if needed.

After all, she wanted to see what Xu Ran's limits were.

But Ruolin could never have imagined that Xu Ran was even stronger than her.

Hearing Ruolin's words, Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief. How could she have forgotten that detail? With Xu Ran's talent, how could Tutor Ruolin possibly punish him? Xu Ran was sure to win this battle; after all, he was capable of silently annihilating a family. There were Great Fighters in the Gale Family, but while Tutor Ruolin was a Five-Star Grand Fighter, Xu Ran was a Douwang.

This guy was a powerhouse in his own right.

It's just that Xu Ran was always so agreeable, mild-mannered, and devoid of the arrogance of a strong fighter, so many times she didn't treat Xu Ran the same way as she did other experts.

Xiao Mei and Xun Er looked on with the excitement of spectators.

They were very clear about Xu Ran's strength. Perhaps only the Elders of Canaan Academy could handle Xu Ran, right?

Listening to Tutor Ruolin's words, Xue Ni and a group of girls sighed in dismay, immediately looking at Xiao Yu with sympathy: "Yu Er, take it easy."

They didn't believe Xu Ran could last the time it takes an incense stick to burn under Tutor Ruolin.

That long, even if it were a real fight between Great Fighters, the outcome would have been decided long ago, right? If it were only a few exchanges, perhaps Xu Ran could hold on, but the time it takes an incense stick to burn? How could that be possible?
