Recruitment, Leaving Wutan City

"F-Facial cleanser?!" Xiao Yang was stunned by the sudden attack. Wasn't this moving a little too fast?

A while later, Instructor Ruo Lin finally released Xiao Yang. "Finding a little fellow with talent as heaven-defying as yours is this instructor's good fortune. This year, I can finally get promoted in rank.

All right, I still have some recruitment matters to handle. Go play with your Senior Sisters in that tent for now."

As she spoke, Instructor Ruo Lin led Xiao Yang into the recruitment tent.

Inside the tent, several girls who had been chatting noticed Instructor Ruo Lin returning from outside with Xiao Yang beside her. Curious, they gathered around and surrounded the two of them, chattering away with endless questions.

"Instructor, is he a new junior?"

A woman dressed in red wore a brilliant smile. Her brown hair was casually tied into a high ponytail. Her looks could only be considered fairly good, but her figure was truly explosive.

That magnificent 36E chest was incredibly eye-catching. With her slender waist and plump, perky rear, such a devilish figure was enough to leave anyone intoxicated.

"Xue Ni, take it easy. Don't scare the new junior," another woman beside her said with a hand over her mouth, smiling.

Xue Ni did not care in the slightest. She walked over, scooped Xiao Yang up, and pressed him into her embrace.

Xiao Yang immediately felt his breath catch as immense happiness crashed over him.

It had to be said, being young and cute did have its benefits.

Xiao Yang had originally felt somewhat regretful about being a few years younger than Xiao Yan. But now... it was so worth it!

Getting cozy with pretty older sisters! I can do this! Xiao Yang shouted inwardly, This is heaven!

However, not long afterward, Instructor Ruo Lin rescued Xiao Yang. Rubbing her brow helplessly, she said, "Xue Ni, at least show a little restraint!"

After that, Xiao Yang was surrounded by a flock of lovely girls. Still, aside from Xue Ni, none of them were quite so bold.

Red clouds filled the sky as the golden crow sank westward. With dusk approaching, the recruitment that had lasted nearly the entire day finally came to a temporary end.

Instructor Ruo Lin rose to her feet and addressed everyone in the tent. "All right, today's recruitment ends here.

For the next seven days, we will continue recruiting in the city.

To the New Students registered today, congratulations. From this day forward, you are members of Jia Nan Academy.

I hope everyone can have everything prepared within seven days.

In seven days, Jia Nan Academy's flying convoy will arrive in Wutan City. Then, we can fly straight to the academy."

After speaking, Instructor Ruo Lin slowly rolled up the parchment scroll in her hand and placed it into her Ring of Acceptance.

"Instructor, why not stay at our Xiao Family during your days in Wutan City?"

Seeing Instructor Ruo Lin preparing to turn and leave, Xiao Yang ran over, tugged on her arm, and put on an adorable act.

"At the Xiao Family?"

Instructor Ruo Lin was slightly taken aback. Her delicate brows furrowed as she hesitated. "Jia Nan Academy has designated accommodations in Wutan City. Besides, wouldn't staying at the Xiao Family be too much of an imposition?"

"Hehe, it's fine. Being able to host a Jia Nan Academy instructor would be a blessing for our Xiao Family. I think that if they knew Instructor Ruo Lin was willing to visit, everyone in the Xiao Family would be delighted," Xiao Yang said with a smile.

As a renowned academy on the Douqi Continent, Jia Nan Academy possessed enormous influence within the Jia Ma Empire. In terms of strength, even the Mittel Auction House fell far short of it.

As an exceptionally powerful force, Jia Nan Academy naturally looked down upon the local factions of Wutan City. Driven by that mindset, its recruitment teams over the years had naturally disdained dealing with Wutan City's local powers, much less accepting an invitation from any faction and directly taking up residence in a local clan.

Yet when Xiao Yang spoke, Instructor Ruo Lin simply could not refuse.

Xiao Yang's talent could no longer be described merely as monstrous. It was nothing short of heaven-defying.

In nearly a hundred years, Jia Nan Academy had never recorded such a case.

Most importantly, Xiao Yang was only a nine-year-old child. If she refused and he threw a tantrum before running away, where would she ever find another student with such monstrous talent? By then, she would not even have a place to cry.

Thus, Instructor Ruo Lin and Jia Nan Academy's group of Senior Sisters followed Xiao Yang in a grand procession to the Xiao Family.

Upon hearing that Jia Nan Academy's recruitment instructor had come to the Xiao Family, Xiao Yang's Old Dad, Xiao Zhan, along with the Xiao Family's three elders, hurried to the clan gates. Wearing broad smiles, they welcomed the group of lovely women inside.

With Xiao Yang's introduction, both sides became acquainted for the first time.

After learning why Instructor Ruo Lin and the others had come, Xiao Zhan agreed without the slightest hesitation. He immediately sent people to prepare guest rooms. This generous gesture also earned him considerable goodwill from Instructor Ruo Lin and the others.

A group of beautiful Jia Nan Academy elites had suddenly appeared in the clan, making the atmosphere far livelier. Many young clan members crowded over, their gazes constantly sweeping over the lovely girls. They also cast looks of envy, jealousy, and resentment at Xiao Yang, who was surrounded by the girls and occasionally hugged in the arms of one young woman or another.

As night gradually fell, the Xiao Family, as the hosts, naturally offered the highest standard of hospitality. Aside from the lack of household appliances, the guest rooms were no worse than the finest presidential suites in the five-star hotels of Xiao Yang's previous life.

Soon, on the morning seven days later, all the prospective Jia Nan Academy students who had successfully passed the assessment gathered in the square.

After confirming that the list was correct, Instructor Ruo Lin raised her head and looked toward the azure sky in the distance. Ten black shadows were flying over—ten enormous Griffins.

The ten Griffins cast huge shadows as they passed over the academy before stopping in the sky above Xiao Yang and the others. As their wings beat, violent winds surged, making some of the students below struggle to keep their footing.

Xiao Yang waved to his Old Dad, Xiao Zhan, then climbed onto a Griffin and slipped directly into the room on its back.

The Black-Corner Region was a unique area formed outside Jia Nan Academy due to chaos.

Although many people on the Douqi Continent could not understand why such a chaotic region, so utterly incompatible with the academy's atmosphere, existed outside the continent's foremost academy, existence itself was reason enough.

Moreover, the high-level cultivation techniques, Dou Skills, medicinal pills, and other rare treasures flowing out of the Black-Corner Region had drawn many of the continent's experts there.

More than a month later, Jia Nan Academy's convoy finally flew across the Black-Corner Great Plains, passed over Peace Town, and headed straight for Canaan City.
