Who the Hell Said Your Name Was Bai Shan?

As a major event of the Jia Nan Academy, the so-called Inner Academy Selection Tournament naturally attracts a lot of attention. Moreover, the most popular figures in the academy will make an appearance at this Selection Competition, which is undoubtedly very attractive to the male and female students who regard these people as their idols and objects of their affection.

Therefore, although the academy had prepared the largest square in the academy as a backup, it was still packed with people. Countless students squeezed their way into the square to get a seat. Looking out from the stands, all you could see was a sea of heads and a deafening roar.

This enormous plaza is circular in shape, with stone steps leading upwards around it, resembling an arena. The crowds sitting around the plaza can all clearly see the entire plaza.

Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yan, and Xiao Ning stood at the highest point, looking down at the dense crowd below, and were quite amazed.

Only by witnessing such a magnificent scene can one understand how insignificant their Central Square in Wutan City is.

In the square, two figures, a man and a woman, flashed and crossed paths. The fierce Dou Qi that erupted when their palms touched caused gasps of amazement to burst from the surrounding stands from time to time. However, the gazes of those on the stands were clearly fixed on the girl in the light blue dress. Her delicate body and graceful figure were a unique sight to behold.

The two figures crossed paths again in a close call. The pale blue figure suddenly stopped, and golden light shone brightly from her palms, creating a beam of light that accurately struck the young man's chest. The powerful force directly forced the latter to retreat from the battle.

"Senior, you flatter me!" After defeating her enemy with a single blow, the girl in green smiled slightly and bowed to the rather handsome man in a perfectly impeccable manner.

"As expected of Xun'er, she is the most promising student in this year's class. I've lost."

Although defeated, the handsome man was quite decisive. He smiled, glanced deeply at the beautiful young woman in green, who was as lovely as Qing Lian, and then gracefully withdrew.

Unfortunately, his feigned elegance held absolutely no appeal for Xun'er, whose mind was completely consumed by her romantic thoughts of Brother Xiao Yan.

"Xiao Xun'er wins this round!"

Hearing the shout from the referee's platform, Xun'er turned around without hesitation and leaped off the competition stage.

"Xun'er, you're really great!"

After the girl in blue stepped off the stage, a woman in the stands next to her waved to her and smiled.

"Mentor Ruo Lin." Ignoring the intense gazes from those around her, Xun'er trotted into the specially arranged stands, called out with a smile, and then turned her gaze to a group of women beside the stands, smiling and saying, "Cousin Xiao Yu."

"Little girl, you're getting more and more amazing. You even defeated Mo Wen. It seems you'll definitely be able to enter the Inner Academy this time."

A beautiful woman dressed in a light purple academy uniform walked over with a smile. As she walked, her long, shapely legs encased in her trousers immediately drew away the burning gazes that were originally directed at Xun'er. Such alluring legs were truly a powerful weapon to seduce men.

"I hope so."

Xun'er smiled slightly, greeted the women behind Xiao Yu, and then took Xiao Yu's arm and sat down next to Mentor Ruo Lin, chatting and laughing in hushed tones.

"Cousin Xiao Yu, haven't Brother Xiao Yan and Brother Xiao Yuan arrived yet?"

Xun'er glanced at Mentor Ruo Lin seemed relaxed but still had a hint of anxiety between her brows, and asked in a low voice.

"Hmm." Hearing this, Xiao Yu sighed softly, then clenched her hands tightly, saying helplessly, "I don't know what these two are up to. They agreed to only take a year's leave, but now it's been more than two years, and they've missed every single one."

"I think they should come," Xun'er said softly, biting her red lips.

"I hope so too, but today is the Selection Competition. If they are absent again, the mentors will have to..." Xiao Yu gave a wry smile, but then didn't finish her sentence.

But Xun'er understood what she meant. If Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan didn't come this time, Mentor Ruo Lin's level assessment would probably drop! As the two whispered among themselves, the three waves of battle passed in the blink of an eye. During the fourth wave, a man darted forward, his spear slamming into the ground. His aggressive, fervent gaze swept unabashedly toward Xun'er's direction.

"Xue Beng from Profound Rank Third Class is facing off against Xiao Yan from Yellow Rank Second Class!"

As the judges' voices faded, the noisy square suddenly quieted down, and countless eyes turned toward the location of Yellow Rank Second Class. In the past two years, Xiao Yan's name had been firmly remembered by the students and even the instructors of the Jia Nan Academy. After all, since the founding of the Jia Nan Academy, this was the first time they had encountered such a rebellious student who had taken a two-year leave of absence.

But there is another person who became famous earlier than Xiao Yan and was even more popular!

That person was naturally Xiao Yuan.

As the first sixteen-year-old Dou Shi- level super genius that Jia Nan Academy had received in so many years, he directly took another genius, Xiao Yan, and asked for a year's leave. Even without submitting a supplementary application, he delayed for a whole year without any news coming back.

Such an action was truly unprecedented! Of course, the main reason was Xiao Yu.

Although Xiao Yu appeared rather girlish in front of Xiao Yuan, she was known throughout the academy for her fiery temper.

She always rejects those who want to pursue her. If they persist, she will whip them until they give up.

This is certainly undeniable.

But ever since Xun'er started being harassed by more and more suitors and admirers, Xiao Yu really did have the spirit of a sister-in-law standing up for her younger brother and sister-in-law, directly slapping many weak "toads" to their heartbreak.

This is why Xiao Ning was ambushed and beaten when he went outside.

Although he was quite sharp-willed, he still carried out his older sister's orders very well.

As Xiao Yu's younger brother, he naturally became a target for those who couldn't beat Xiao Yu but could beat Xiao Ning, or those who could join forces to retaliate against him.

Of course, there were also those who could defeat Xiao Yu, and even caused some "accidental" injuries to Xiao Yu.

In response, Xiao Yu didn't ask anyone for help, but instead threatened, "Wait for Xiao Yuan Xiao Yuan to come. I'll take him to settle accounts with them then."

As a result, Xiao Yuan's reputation spread far and wide. In addition, those who had participated in the admissions process all revealed that Xiao Yuan's appearance was even more outstanding than Xun'er's. This made the students of the Jia Nan Academy, who already regarded Xun'er as the school beauty, quite curious.

At this moment, although they were also looking forward to Xiao Yan's appearance, their other purpose was to see what kind of person Xiao Yuan, who was even more outstanding in appearance than Xun'er, looked like. Faced with countless gazes shooting over, Mentor Ruo Lin couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on her smooth forehead, her hands clenched tightly, and her eyes scanned the surroundings, hoping that the figure she had valued so much two years ago would appear like a savior.

If only I hadn't agreed to Xiao Yuan's request for such a long leave! As time went by, Mentor Ruo Lin began to regret her decision, a sense of helplessness rising in her heart.

This time, those two little devils really got us into trouble! And many people were already whispering among themselves.

The content is nothing more than that Xiao Yan is not a good man for standing people up and leaving Xun'er to bear the criticism of many students in the academy alone.

Xiao Yan remained completely unmoved by this.

Even during his most difficult time, Xun'er never distanced herself from him; in fact, she and her Third Brother often took turns comforting him.

Now that his talent has returned and his cultivation progress is excellent, his relationship with Xun'er has become even closer.

Under these circumstances, Xun'er believed he would come, and Xiao Yan also believed that Xun'er would not hold a grudge because of his lateness.

This is the tacit understanding between the two.

"I'm telling you, if you keep lamenting like this, the countdown is about to end, and you'll automatically admit defeat."

Xiao Yuan's voice rang out from the side, startling Xiao Yan awake. Looking at the referee who was about to get up and announce the result, he quickly threw the Mystic Heavy Ruler behind him.

Before the person arrived, the ruler arrived first! Everything smelled familiar.

As a detection radar for Xiao Yan's special attack model, Xun'er immediately realized what was happening and looked at the scene with a face full of joy.

Sure enough, the next moment, although the Black Ruler and the boy were launched one after the other, they crashed into the square at the same time. The hard floor was directly shattered into powder, which exploded and enveloped the surrounding area.

"Cough cough!"

Xiao Yan covered his mouth and coughed a few times, a complicated expression on his face.

He should have known better than to show off. He, a Da Dou Shi, actually choked on the dust. In the stands, Xiao Yuan watched this scene and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Why is Xiao Yan starting to take the comedic route now?

"Who is it?" The commotion caused the gun-wielding youth named Xue Beng to inhale a mouthful of dust. After coughing violently a few times, he shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Yellow Rank Second Class, Xiao Yan!"

The young man in black robes took a step forward, raised his head slightly, and spoke in a low voice that boomed like thunder in the ears of everyone around the square.

These words immediately silenced the plaza, which had been filled with whispers. A flurry of surprised gazes fell upon the black-robed youth in the center of the plaza, who carried a massive Black Ruler ruler nearly as tall as himself. For a moment, the entire plaza was deathly quiet.

"Is he Xiao Yan?" At one end of the stands, Bai Shan, dressed in white, tall and handsome, looked at the black-robed youth in the square with slight surprise. He didn't expect that this guy would actually make it in time at the last moment.

"His aura is quite steady, and he may have some skill, but that's all." Looking at the black-robed youth's expression, which remained unmoved by the crowd around him, Bai Shan raised an eyebrow and said indifferently. He didn't give this potential rival a high score, given his extremely high standards.

"Brother Xiao Yan." Xun'er looked at the figure on the square, who was a little taller and thinner than two years ago. Her delicate face immediately revealed a graceful smile that made the male students around her drool.

"Xiao Yan is here, so Xiao Yuan must be here too."

Xiao Yu's attention immediately shifted, and she looked around. She then turned her head to search, but because there were people all around, it was difficult for her to spot Xiao Yuan's whereabouts.

But she had a feeling that Xiao Yuan must have come.

With her beautiful eyes fixed on the young man carrying the giant ruler in the arena for a long time, Mentor Ruo Lin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Since Xiao Yan had arrived, even if he lost the competition, she would only lose the opportunity to advance to the Profound Rank Mentor this year. There would be another chance next year, and she could compete again. After all, based on the potential that Xiao Yan showed during the admission test, she believed that as long as he could cultivate in the academy for a year, he would definitely be able to catch up with the progress.

However, where is Xiao Yuan's aura? Mentor Ruo Lin scanned the direction from which Xiao Yan had jumped with her senses, wondering to herself.

Two years ago, Xiao Yuan, with the strength of Dou Shi, was able to threaten me, a Da Dou Shi. Now, judging from Xiao Yuan's normal cultivation speed, his strength has probably reached the Da Dou Shi level, right? If he can maintain his combat power, taking the top three in the Selection Competition will probably not be a problem. Then my advancement may not be impossible!

"Since Xiao Yan was here, I didn't feel comfortable asking you. Is there something you want to tell me?"

Xiao Yuan, too lazy to pay attention to the battle whose outcome was already predetermined, turned his head to look at Xiao Ning expression was slightly awkward.

"Brother-in-law, my sister clashed with Bai Shan while protecting Xun'er and suffered a loss. You must avenge her."

Xiao Ning gestured towards the white-clad figure in the distant stands, and whispered.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan's eyes narrowed immediately.

Looks like we need to increase the intensity of this Bai Shan! "Okay, I understand."

A moment later, Xiao Yuan nodded, covered himself with his Dou Qi, and pushed his way through the crowd to walk down.

Inside the plaza, Xiao Yan shattered Xue Beng's attack and weapon with a single punch, sending him flying along with the spear that had been broken in two.

At this moment, the entire arena fell silent! On the other side of the stands, Bai Shan stood with his arms crossed, his brows slightly furrowed as he gazed at the black-robed youth standing ramrod straight in the square. After a long while, he slowly exhaled and smiled faintly, "Not bad, you do have some skill. Now you are worthy of my respect. I hope you can hold on for a few more rounds. If the opportunity arises, I will personally meet you."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a cold voice suddenly rang out from behind him without warning.

"I'm sorry, I think you'll never have that chance."

As he was speaking, a hand gently landed on his back.

At the same time, Bai Shan's composed demeanor vanished instantly, and as he was drenched in sweat, a chill ran through him.

Someone actually appeared behind me without my noticing?
