Mentor Ruo Lin, You Wouldn't Want...

"Hehe, let's end the registration here for today. We will stay here for another seven days. Congratulations to all the new students who registered today on becoming members of the Jia Nan Academy."

I hope all students can have everything ready within seven days. Seven days later, a flying caravan from the Jia Nan Academy will arrive in Wutan City, at which point we will be able to fly directly to the academy.

Mentor Ruo Lin, smiled softly as she slowly rolled up the parchment in her hand.

Upon hearing this, everyone inside the tent was overjoyed.

Looking at the smiling Mentor Ruo Lin, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan exchanged a glance, then said, "Mentor Ruo Lin, we have something to attend to..."

"Oh? You two little geniuses, is there anything else you'd like to say to your mentor?"

Upon Mentor Ruo Lin asked with a smile.

"We would like to ask for a leave of absence."

Xiao Yuan said with a smile.

"Ask for leave?"

Mentor Ruo Lin paused slightly, her brows furrowing as she said softly, "According to the rules, freshmen do not have any holidays except for certain specific holidays."

"I have something very important to do."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan spoke with a solemn expression.

"Me too"

Xiao Yan echoed this.

If it weren't for the Heavenly Flames, he wouldn't have felt there was any need to go to the Jia Nan Academy.

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Xun'er's delicate face immediately dimmed.

Xiao Yu also lowered her eyelids slightly, and in her heart she had already begun to greet Nalan Yanran and her family in a friendly and cordial manner.

Looking at the solemn expressions of the two Xiao Clan brothers, Mentor Ruo Lin frowned and pondered for a long time before nodding slightly and saying softly, "Alright, how long of a vacation do you need? If it's not too long, with my authority, I can try to get it for you."

Looking into Ruo Lin's gentle eyes, Xiao Yuan sighed helplessly, "Sigh, probably about a year."

Xiao Yan, standing to the side, also touched his nose, looking somewhat embarrassed.

As soon as he said this, the tent fell silent, and astonished gazes focused on the two Xiao Clan brothers.

About a year? At this moment, everyone seemed to think they had misheard. Taking leave wasn't uncommon, but to take a year right after enrolling? This seemed to be the first time such a thing had happened since the founding of the Jia Nan Academy.

"Yu'er, have your two brothers gone mad? A year? They're not deliberately trying not to go to the Jia Nan Academy, are they?" Staring dumbfounded at the two Xiao Clan brothers, Xue Ni asked Xiao Yu in astonishment.

Xiao Yu shook her head with a wry smile, feeling somewhat helpless.

Once Xiao Yuan decides to do something, she can't stop him.

"Are you two really not joking with me?"

Blinking her long eyelashes, Mentor Ruo Lin was both amused and exasperated by Xiao Yuan's words.

"I have no choice, Mentor Ruo Lin. You don't want me to be forced to withdraw from student recruitment this year because I can't get leave, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan sighed, then spread his hands, blinked, and said.

"You dare!"

Upon Mentor Ruo Lin's eyebrows furrowed, and her gentle demeanor turned into anger as she rebuked her.

Having finally recruited two geniuses with such terrifying talent, she had to bring them into the academy!

"There's no other way. I really have important things to do. Compared to being in an ivory tower like the academy, fighting outside is a much faster way to improve one's strength."

Xiao Yuan said with a hint of helplessness.

With his current strength, he could probably easily beat any student from the Outer Academy. What kind of opponent would he be if he posed no threat to them? Xiao Yan's eyes twitched slightly. His Third Brother was really speaking without any manners!

This is practically saying: If the academy isn't good enough, I'll just train on my own.

Ruo Lin was also greatly troubled by this. This boy, who looked only sixteen years old, was unusually mature!

After a long silence, she narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly and said calmly, "Are you really planning to disregard everything and take a year's leave?"

"We absolutely must invite them!"

Xiao Yuan nodded, looking serious.

"And you?"

Ruo Lin turned her head to look at Xiao Yuan.

"Me too."

Xiao Yan nodded and said seriously.

He didn't think that the instructors at the Jia Nan Academy could be compared to Yao Lao.

Moreover, Xiao Yan had personally witnessed that even in his soul form, Yao Lao Qi Gathering Powder, refined without a cauldron, was of a visibly higher quality than that of the so-called Pill King Gu He.

Pill King Gu He is already Sixth Grade Alchemist.

Therefore, the Yao Lao's rank is obviously no lower than the sixth rank, and he is very likely a seventh or even Eighth-Tier alchemist.

In this situation, even a second of hesitation would be disrespectful to a high-level alchemist.

Upon seeing Mentor Ruo Lin's expression, Xiao Yu and the others, who had spent over a year with her, immediately sensed something was amiss. Mentor Ruo Lin, in this state, was undoubtedly in danger.

Seeing the two brothers nod, Mentor Ruo Lin slowly exhaled, and her full breasts swayed in a breathtaking arc.

She brushed aside the strands of hair that had fallen across her forehead with her slender fingers and said calmly, "It's not impossible to ask for leave."

Knowing she had more to say, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan remained calm and waited quietly for her to finish.

"As long as you can survive twenty rounds under the guidance of your mentor, you can request a year's leave. Your mentor will handle any problems the academy may have!"

Upon hearing this, almost everyone present cast pitying glances at Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan.

Hearing Mentor Ruo Lin's words, Xue Ni and the other girls immediately sighed for Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan, and then looked at Xiao Yu, who had a strange expression, with sympathy. "Yu'er, please accept our condolences."

Xiao Yu gently bit her red lips, her eyelids slightly lowered.

She knew that Xiao Yuan was truly capable of enduring twenty rounds against Mentor Ruo Lin, and might even be able to win! "How about it? Shall we go ahead?"

Mentor Ruo Lin's gaze was slightly languid as she smiled gently.

"Then thank you very much for your kindness, mentor!"

Xiao Yuan's confident laughter echoed inside the tent.

Xiao Yan, standing to the side, remained silent, choosing instead to stand behind Xiao Yuan, silently expressing his stance.

Upon hearing this, the smile on Mentor Ruo Lin's pretty face deepened, and a dangerous aura gradually rose.

Seeing that the two brothers actually dared to accept Mentor Ruo Lin's conditions, everyone couldn't help but cast some "admiring" glances at them.

Although the two were exceptionally talented, the gap in strength between them and Mentor Ruo Lin was like an insurmountable chasm. The difference between Dou Zhe, Dou Shi, and Da Dou Shi cannot be bridged by talent alone.

"It's too cramped here, let's go outside."

With a faint smile, Mentor Ruo Lin took the lead and walked out of the tent. Her full and exquisite figure swayed gracefully, exuding a mature and charming style.

Seeing this, Xiao Yuan smiled and followed him out. After a moment's hesitation, the people inside the tent rushed out!

As the sun sets, its orange-red afterglow spills across the square. The bluestone slabs, baked by the sun all day, gradually cool down. Standing in the center of the square, one can occasionally see the crowds outside, which have thinned out considerably.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan walked to the center of the arena and stood opposite the smiling Mentor Ruo Lin.

Then, Xiao Yuan extended his hand and said in a rather gentlemanly manner, "Please, mentor!"

Upon hearing this, Mentor Ruo Lin slowly raised her hand, and a green Storage Ring on her slender finger flashed slightly. A long blue whip, gleaming with an unusual light, suddenly appeared in her hand.

Xiao Yuan glanced at it and could tell that the long whip was a meticulously crafted Magic Core, and it was very compatible with Mentor Ruo Lin's Dou Qi attribute, which would increase her strength by about 10% to 20%.

Clearly, pulling out this weapon was a blatant way of telling Xiao Yuan: "Want to ask for leave? No way!"

Looking at the beautiful woman standing not far in front of him, holding a long whip in her hand, Xiao Yuan turned his head to look at Xiao Yan.

"Actually, we originally planned to fight her separately, but since things have come to this, let's go together."

Hearing Xiao Yuan's words, Xiao Yan shrugged helplessly. The meaning behind his words was quite clear: it seemed that his Third Brother's current combat power was already comparable to that of Da Dou Shi.

I need to work harder!

Although his mind was racing, Xiao Yan smiled and nodded, saying, "Alright!"

Seeing that Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan seemed quite relaxed and didn't take her, a Da Dou Shi, seriously at all, Mentor Ruo Lin Ruolin raised an eyebrow. Could these two little guys really have some means to deal with her? Impossible. Immediately afterward, she banished this somewhat absurd thought from her mind.

A Dou Shi and a Dou Zhe can deal with Da Dou Shi? Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Ruo Lin looked at the two Xiao Clan brothers who were on high alert, her red lips slightly parted, and with a flick of her slender hand, the long whip in her hand swept through the air, leaving a pale blue whip shadow, and lashed towards Xiao Yuan.

Although this was the first time he had seriously faced Da Dou Shi, Xiao Yuan showed no sign of nervousness at all. With a smile on his lips, he used the Swimming Dragon Step to dodge the first whip.

The long whip lashed the bluestone slabs with a gust of wind, and a puddle of water quickly appeared.

Xiao Yan, standing to the side, also distanced himself slightly, waiting for an opportunity to arise.

With his explosive power, he could cover the distance of over ten meters in an instant, but he probably only had one chance. He certainly couldn't face Da Dou Shi head-on with his own strength, but it was still possible to create some opportunities for his Third Brother.

As the unarmed Xiao Yuan was the primary target of Mentor Ruo Lin's attack, he was being whipped around by a continuous barrage of whips, and looked to be in a precarious situation.

It wasn't that Xiao Yuan was being hypocritical by not using weapons against Ruo Lin.

Mentor Ruo Lin's long whip is a soft weapon; it can be lashed out to cover a distance of more than ten meters. If Xiao Yuan were to pull out his spear, he would easily be disarmed by it.

With Mentor Ruo Lin's strength Five-Star Dou Grandmaster, even without going all out, she would be enough to make Xiao Yuan, who is only a one -Dou Shi, feel troubled.

After dodging another attack, Xiao Yuan's expression turned solemn. He took a step forward, his body slightly arched, and then shot towards Mentor Ruo Lin like an arrow released from a bow.

Although Xiao Yuan was already very fast, and rushed to Mentor Ruo Lin in an instant, he still clearly felt a sharp gust of wind coming from behind him.

Considering the issue of average subscriptions, I will not update five chapters, but instead update three chapters.

There should be one chapter at 3:30 and another at 6:30.
