Trial! Conflict Between New Students and Seniors!

He had a handsome face, but wasn't he far too young?

"Junior Xiao, it's not that I don't believe you, but the three of them look far too young..."

The garrison commander fell silent for a moment before speaking frankly.

"Don't worry, Senior. Since I dared bring them here, their strength definitely meets the standard. In fact, the strongest among them might even be more than you can handle."

The commander glanced at Xiao Yu in surprise. Since his junior was vouching for them like this, he would let them pass.

If they failed the final assessment, they would be the ones embarrassed anyway!

The commander did not take Xiao Yu's final remark to heart.

At such a young age, no matter how talented they were, could they really defeat him?

What a joke!

Xiao Yu returned with the commander, and he scrutinized the three of them once more.

Under his piercing gaze, all three remained calm, making him nod inwardly.

Ordinary people would instinctively look away the moment they met his eyes.

He had truly been on the battlefield, and his eyes were filled with killing intent!

"Let them through!"

The commander waved his hand and stepped aside.

The tightly packed army of steel slowly shifted apart, revealing a narrow path wide enough for two people.

Xiao Yu showed off the jade token in her hand to Xiao Ze and the others, then beckoned them over.

The moment she stepped onto the path, the smug smile on Xiao Yu's face froze, and a chill ran through her body.

This army had definitely been on a battlefield!

The fully armed soldiers were no mere showpieces. A faint scent of blood lingered around them, and walking among them brought an indescribable sense of oppression.

Xiao Ze did not feel much of anything. His gaze even flicked toward the commander standing to the side.

He could sense that the oppressive atmosphere seemed to be guided by that commander.

He had once slaughtered his way through a small Beast Tide, terrifying even those savage, brutal magical beasts out of their wits.

This kind of display was effortless for him to face.

Besides, Xiao Ze's greatest confidence came from his own strength.

A One Star Da Dou Shi was more than enough to slaughter his way through the army before him!

When one's strength was insufficient, any pressure they created was nothing more than empty posturing and a paper tiger in the eyes of the strong.

Xiao Xun'er beside him was equally calm.

With a high-ranking Dou Emperor protecting her every day, how could Xiao Xun'er possibly be frightened by this group of soldiers?

Xiao Yi Xian was startled at first, but she quickly calmed down.

She had previously followed Xiao Ze through a small Beast Tide.

After it ended, the scene had been nothing short of a river of blood!

In the small valley where the battle had taken place, blood had pooled in the low-lying areas, forming a small Blood Pool!

Though Xiao Yi Xian had vomited frantically for a long time afterward,

her tolerance for the smell of blood and this kind of pressure had increased greatly!

Thus, after her initial discomfort, she soon regained her composure.

Xiao Yu struggled through the short path of barely a dozen meters.

Only upon reaching the end did she let out a sigh of relief, her pretty face slightly pale.

When she turned around and saw Xiao Ze and the other two looking at her with calm expressions, her face could not help flushing red.

She muttered inwardly, As expected, only monsters can be friends with monsters!

The commander standing at the perimeter also strode over.

His eyes were filled with shock as he examined Xiao Ze and the other two again.

He had to admit that he had misjudged them!

He was the one who had guided that pressure just now.

Ordinary people could never have made it through. Their legs would have gone weak from fright before they even reached the middle!

"Senior Brother, aren't you making things too difficult for people?"

Patting her chest, Xiao Yu spoke with lingering fear.

"Cough, cough. This is the trial Instructor Ruo Lin ordered. Otherwise, if everyone wanted to take the back door, would this recruitment ceremony even be held?"

Xiao Yu nodded helplessly, shot him an irritated glare, then led Xiao Ze and the others into the plaza.

Before leaving, Xiao Ze glanced at the commander.

Did a normal trial require an officer to guide the pressure?

The doubt flashed through Xiao Ze's mind, but he did not dwell on it.

After all, whether that commander was there or not made no difference to him.

When they reached the tent in the center of the plaza, a woman with an incredibly voluptuous figure suddenly rushed out.

She immediately threw her arms around Xiao Yu and began groping her all over.

"Get lost! You perverted woman!"

Xiao Yu laughed and cursed as she shoved her away hard. Otherwise, those mischievous hands would never stop wandering over her body!

"Let me introduce her. This is my good sister at Jia Nan Academy, Xue Ni. She has an incredibly hot figure and countless admirers!"

Xiao Ze nodded. There was no need to say it; he could already see that.

Xue Ni wore a red outfit, and her youthful face was lovely.

Perhaps her looks did not compare to Xiao Yu's, but her devilish curves, full in front and rounded behind,

made passing young men unable to resist sneaking glances at her. Some even secretly swallowed.

Xiao Yu slapped away Xue Ni's hand as it tried to cause more mischief, then pulled Xue Ni over to Xiao Ze and the others.

"These two are members of my clan—my cousin Xiao Xun'er and my cousin Xiao Ze. This is Xiao Ze's friend, Xiao Yi Xian."

Xue Ni looked curiously at the three of them, but her attention was immediately drawn to Xiao Ze.

"Girls! Come out here!"

Xue Ni suddenly shouted into the tent.

A group of women of all shapes and sizes immediately emerged. Before they could ask anything, Xue Ni pointed at Xiao Ze.

"Wow! What a handsome young man!"

"Whose young master is this? How did he get inside the plaza? He's so exceptionally handsome!"

"Xue Ni, not bad! You know how to share with your sisters."

Seeing the large group of girls, Xiao Yu sensed trouble and hurriedly stepped in front of Xiao Ze.

"Cough, cough. This is my cousin Xiao Ze. Don't try anything funny—he hasn't even come of age yet!"

"Oh my, Xiao Yu, no wonder you never mentioned your clan members before. You were hiding such a beautiful young man!"

Xiao Ze stood to the side with a smile that met everyone's expectations.

Xiao Xun'er took Xiao Ze's hand, as though declaring her claim over him.

Xiao Yi Xian stood beside Xiao Ze, her eyes filled with amazement.

Just as a small commotion was about to erupt outside the tent,

an angry shout suddenly rang out from within!

"Why should I stand outside? Because you're a Three Star Dou Disciple?"

"You're only using the title of senior brother to throw your weight around. Though I'm a new student, I'm also a member of Jia Nan Academy!"

The sudden outburst stunned the girls outside the tent.

Xiao Ze raised an eyebrow slightly.

The words revealed quite a bit of information.

It seemed that a conflict had broken out between a new student and a senior.

The girls no longer had any interest in fooling around and hurried back into the tent.

Xiao Yu also waved to Xiao Ze and the others, signaling them to follow her inside.

Inside the tent, Jia Nan Academy students stood about in twos and threes in the shade.

Outside the shade, more than a dozen young men and women were being scorched by the blazing sun!

The Jia Nan Academy students wore expressions of eager amusement as they looked toward the center of the tent.

The new students standing in the sun also looked toward the center of the tent in surprise.

They were new students and did not dare resist, but the person in the center of the tent dared to fight back and had voiced what they were all thinking.

A boy who looked about fifteen or sixteen stood there. He was somewhat burly, clearly the result of diligent training.

At that moment, he stood with his arms crossed, looking disdainfully at the person before him!
