Battle Formation Aura
Xiao Yan anxiously ran to ask Xiao Yu about the Strange Flame of Canaan Academy, but unfortunately, Xiao Yu didn't know the details either; she had only heard rumors.
She had only heard that the reason the Heavenly Flame Training Qi Tower inside Canaan Academy could increase cultivation speed was because of a Strange Flame, but Xiao Yu didn't know exactly which Strange Flame it was, only that there was such a rumor.
"What? I thought you didn't want to go," Xiao Yu said, arms crossed, looking at Xiao Yan with her chin raised.
Xiao Yu had once asked Xiao Yan if he wanted to enter Canaan Academy, but Xiao Yan's answer was ambiguous, leading Xiao Yu to believe that Xiao Yan didn't want to go.
Xiao Yu's return to the clan this time was for the upcoming Canaan Academy enrollment, to see how many people the clan would arrange to take the exam, so she could help pull some strings.
As the Xiao Clan's Young Clan Leader, Xiao Yan's talent and cultivation were undoubtedly top-notch. Even if Xiao Zhan was reluctant, he understood the principle that the sea is wide for fish to leap, and the sky is high for birds to fly. Wutan City was ultimately too small.
Xiao Yan also understood that he would inevitably have to leave Wutan City to venture into the outside world, to become stronger in more prosperous cities, which was why he had set up a series of plans to eliminate the two major clans.
"Come on, I'm an Alchemist; isn't it normal to want a Strange Flame? Since Canaan Academy has a Strange Flame, of course I want to go."
Xiao Yu was startled and quickly said, "Don't mess around, you little pervert. Canaan Academy isn't Wutan City; if you cause trouble, no one can protect you."
"The Heavenly Flame Training Qi Tower having a Strange Flame is just a legend, and even if it does, it's Canaan Academy's property, not something anyone can take."
Seeing Xiao Yu's nervous appearance, Xiao Yan patted her on the shoulder, acting like a detached master, and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Even in Canaan Academy, I, the Young Clan Leader, will protect the safety of the clan members. I've got your back."
...
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye. Looking at the suddenly much emptier clan, Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly. Today, the Canaan Academy enrollment team would arrive in Wutan City.
Even those in the clan who knew they weren't qualified had mostly run off to watch. At this moment, the city gate of Wutan City was probably completely blocked by the crowd.
"These guys, the Canaan Academy assessment isn't something you can pass just by watching," Xiao Yan muttered, shaking his head, and slowly walked towards the city gate.
When Xiao Yan arrived at the central square of Wutan City, he couldn't help but rub his temples. There were so many people, and they were so crazy. The Wutan City Garrison Army even had to maintain order, fearing that it would cause some conflicts.
Xiao Yan had also inquired about the Canaan Academy enrollment process. The first step was to line up to check cultivation and age. Canaan Academy only accepted students under the age of twenty, and their cultivation must be above Dou Qi seventh Duan.
The idea of teaching everyone regardless of background didn't work on the Dou Qi Continent.
Every year, a large group of people tried to muddle through.
"Hmph, at a loss, aren't you? Our super genius Young Clan Leader also has times when he's helpless," Xiao Yu, who had arrived at the square long ago to gather the clan members and explain the situation, snorted triumphantly, seeing Xiao Yan's depressed look.
She had been back for so long, and finally she saw this little pervert Xiao Yan stumped; her mood couldn't be better!
Rolling his eyes, Xiao Yan didn't bother to pay attention to her.
"Xiao Yu-jie, you must have a way, right?" Xiao Mei grabbed Xiao Yu's clothes and acted coquettishly.
Xiao Yu puffed out her pretty nose, patted her already well-developed chest, and said with a smile, "Come with me."
Xiao Yu said proudly as she walked, "The person in charge of this enrollment in Wutan City is my mentor. As her star pupil, I've already spoken to her."
Looking at Xiao Yu, who was walking in the front, lifting her sexy long legs and heading to the other side, Xiao Yan spread his hands helplessly at Xun Er, who covered her mouth and chuckled.
It was indeed rare to see Xiao Yan stumped; this was a rare occurrence.
"Let's go; I don't really like so many people either."
Hearing this, Xun Er smiled and nodded lightly, following Xiao Yan.
Although it was said to be going through the back door, not all Xiao Clan members could follow. Only Xiao Yan, Xun Er, Xiao Ning, and Xiao Mei, the four most talented in the clan, could go together.
The other clan members who barely met the standards could only obediently line up for the test.
The group followed Xiao Yu to the back of the square, where a fully armed army surrounded the area in two or three layers. The cold light reflecting off the weapons was dazzling in the sunlight.
Xiao Yu instructed Xiao Yan and the others, then stepped forward alone, took out a jade green token from her bosom, and spoke softly with a soldier who looked like a military officer for a while. Only then did she wave to Xiao Yan and the others, signaling them to come over.
The middle-aged military officer's somewhat sinister gaze swept over Xiao Yan and the others inch by inch. After a long while, he waved his hand and shouted, "Let them through!"
With a series of clattering sounds, the neat sound of armor colliding echoed as the middle-aged military officer shouted. A small path just wide enough for people to pass through slowly appeared.
Xiao Yu put away the jade token and entered first, followed closely by Xiao Mei and Xiao Ning, with Xiao Yan and Xun Er at the end.
"Hmm?" The moment Xiao Yan stepped onto the small path, he felt a chill on his skin. The faint bloody scent emanating from the bodies of the expressionless soldiers around him gave the group a sense of oppressive pressure they had never experienced before.
"This is a Battle Formation Aura?" Xiao Yan remembered that a book in his Storage Ring had mentioned this. An army returning from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, after the tempering of will, would release a kind of Battle Formation Aura that put pressure on people's souls.
Xiao Yan and Xun Er, with their high cultivation, were fine, but Xiao Ning and Xiao Mei, and even Xiao Yu, who had relatively low cultivation, were trembling, their faces devoid of color.
The short distance of less than ten meters felt like a thousand meters to Xiao Mei and Xiao Ning, making it difficult to complete.
Xiao Yan frowned, and his powerful Soul force was released. It should be known that Xiao Yan was now a Tier 2 Alchemist, capable of refining high-level Tier 2 Pills, and he also had a wisp of Bone Spirit Cold Flame in his body.
Xiao Yan's Soul Force carried a kind of coldness and heat.
The moment Xiao Yan's Soul Force was released, all the soldiers felt a mixture of cold and heat, and couldn't help but take two steps back. Even the leading officer took half a step back. All the Battle Formation Aura was scattered by Xiao Yan at this instant.
Feeling a burst of warmth coming from behind, the icy coldness on their bodies disappeared. Everyone quickly looked at Xiao Yan, and there was no doubt that this was definitely Xiao Yan's doing.
All the soldiers looked at Xiao Yan with surprise. Their Battle Formation Aura was actually shattered by a teenager! "What are you looking at? Hurry up and leave, what are you doing blocking the road?" Xiao Yan pretended not to know anything and said in a calm tone.
Only then did Xiao Yu react, and quickly led Xiao Ning and the others out of the alley. She looked at the middle-aged officer and said, "Ke Senior, are you deliberately making things difficult for us?"
The middle-aged officer just smiled apologetically, then looked at the calm Xiao Yan, cupped his fist and said politely, "This must be the Xiao Clan's Young Clan Leader. Just now, it was my duty, please forgive me for any offense."
Xiao Yan also cupped his fist in response, "You're too polite, I should be the one who feels embarrassed."
Watching Xiao Yan and the others leave, the middle-aged officer smiled and said, "It seems that Ruo Lin Mentor will receive a good student this year."
