Xiao Yu

Xiao Yi Xian didn't quite believe Lin Ze when he said he wanted to go to the enrollment assessment in a few days.

Lin Ze had no choice but to take Xiao Yi Xian to the Enrollment Square of Jia Nan Academy.

Seeing the scene of a sea of people, Xiao Yi Xian's mouth opened in a cute gasp.

In her life, she had never seen so many people gathered together.

"This... This is too many people, right?"

"Haha, although the enrollment is happening in Wutan City, it's not just people from Wutan City participating. There are quite a few like you and me who traveled thousands of miles to get here."

"People from the several cities around Wutan City who want to join Jia Nan Academy have to come all the way to Wutan City."

Hearing Lin Ze's explanation, Xiao Yi Xian finally nodded in realization.

"So that's how it is, then it's not strange."

However, Xiao Yi Xian still stood on tiptoe, looking at the vast crowd.

People were shoulder to shoulder, so crowded that it seemed not even a needle could be squeezed in.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi Xian chickened out.

She didn't want to squeeze in with so many people.

"Then... then let's come back in a few days?"

"That's right, the academy's enrollment won't be that fast. It'll take four to five days at the shortest, and seven to eight days at the longest. We can wait until there are fewer people and then queue up."

Lin Ze said with a smile.

However, as Lin Ze spoke, his gaze suddenly sharpened, and he reached out, pulling Xiao Yi Xian closer to him.

Xiao Yi Xian was slightly stunned, her cheeks flushing with a hint of shyness.

Bang!

Lin Ze flicked his fingertips, and a wisp of subtle energy shot out, hitting a hand that had been stealthily reaching out.

This was a refined application of Mad Lion Chant.

"Mind your hands!"

Lin Ze said coldly.

Immediately, a Man with a Lewd Appearance cried out in pain.

Meeting Lin Ze's icy gaze, the man glared fiercely at Lin Ze.

After leaving a harsh word, he quickly turned and left.

Lin Ze looked at Zhao Qi beside him. This was a death soldier with the management skill.

Zhao Qi nodded and began to arrange for people to track the man, preparing to give him a surprise.

"Lin Ze, thank you."

Xiao Yi Xian also reacted at this time. Lin Ze was helping her deal with those dishonest hands.

"You're usually very alert! Why were you distracted today?"

"Maybe I was shocked by the scene."

Xiao Yi Xian said a little embarrassed.

She still had something to say in her heart: being by Lin Ze's side gave her a full sense of security, and she subconsciously relaxed her vigilance.

"Can... can you let go now?"

Xiao Yi Xian felt the warmth from Lin Ze's hand and moved slightly.

"Mm, shall we go to the barbecue shop, or go somewhere else?"

Lin Ze readily let go of Xiao Yi Xian's pretty hand.

Seeing Lin Ze let go of her hand without any hesitation, Xiao Yi Xian felt a little disappointed.

She was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses and said, "Let's go to the barbecue shop."

"I feel like, Xiao Yi Xian, if you keep eating like this, your stomach will get fat."

Lin Ze teased.

"No! Way!"

Xiao Yi Xian's pretty face turned slightly red, and she lightly punched Lin Ze's shoulder.

When Lin Ze walked forward, Xiao Yi Xian couldn't help but lower her head. However, due to the concealment of the peaks in front of her, she really couldn't see her lower abdomen.

She couldn't help but raise her hand and pinch her stomach.

It really seemed like there was a little bit of flesh...

"Pfft!"

A low chuckle came from ahead. Xiao Yi Xian looked up and saw Lin Ze looking at her with a smile.

This time, Xiao Yi Xian's pretty face turned completely red.

"Lin Ze, you fellow..."

She chased after Lin Ze, somewhat shy and annoyed, her small fists continuously landing on Lin Ze.

The two of them bickered and played, drawing envious and jealous gazes from the people around them.

Of course, these gazes were all focused on Lin Ze.

For several consecutive days, Lin Ze controlled the Death Soldiers to observe the situation in the plaza.

It could only be said that as expected of Jia Nan Academy, it was bustling for three consecutive days.

Only on the fourth day did the fervor begin to decrease.

Lin Ze also found out that the Jia Nan Academy's recruitment event would last for seven days.

Therefore, Lin Ze was not in a hurry and planned to go on the last day.

On the seventh day, the number of people had decreased significantly.

Xiao Yi Xian looked at the plaza, where a long queue was still present, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Compared to the first day's massive crowds, where not even a needle could be inserted, the current long queue in the plaza was much better.

Xiao Yi Xian pulled Lin Ze's hand and excitedly went to the end of the line to queue.

It seemed that on the first day, Lin Ze had pulled Xiao Yi Xian's hand to prevent her from being harassed.

Since then, when Xiao Yi Xian was excited, she would also proactively pull Lin Ze's hand.

Although the line was long, the two of them chatted in low voices, and it didn't feel boring.

Not long after, it was Lin Ze and Xiao Yi Xian's turn.

The initial test was very simple; one only needed to place their hand on the crystal ball. If the crystal ball lit up, they had passed the initial test.

The Jia Nan student in charge of the assessment briefly asked their ages before letting them enter the plaza.

As Xiao Yi Xian walked through the passage, she couldn't help but mutter.

"So simple?"

"Heh heh, if you meet the requirements, it naturally becomes simple."

Lin Ze chuckled softly.

"But look at the massive crowds on the first day; how many people could meet the requirements and pass the assessment?"

Xiao Yi Xian then nodded.

Inside the square, tents were set up, and Jia Nan students gathered in twos and threes, chatting.

Outside the tents, men and women alike endured the scorching sun.

"Tsk! What a bad atmosphere!"

Lin Ze sighed inwardly.

Seeing new arrivals, the Jia Nan students immediately turned their gazes.

As their eyes fell on Lin Ze and Xiao Yi Xian, everyone showed a hint of surprise.

So handsome! So beautiful!

The two walking together gave off a feeling of perfect compatibility, like talented men and beautiful women.

Lin Ze swept his gaze over the new students baking in the sun, but his eyes paused slightly, settling on a somewhat tall woman.

The woman's appearance was indeed good, but what caught people's attention at first glance was her pair of shapely, long legs.

If Xiao Yi Xian's slender willow waist was what drew Lin Ze's attention the most, then this woman's pair of aesthetically pleasing long legs were what captivated him.

However, Lin Ze took a glance and had a guess in his heart, could this be Xiao Yu?

He then shifted his attention back to the person walking towards them.

"Are you the new students?"

The one who approached was a rather tall man with a buzz cut. He looked too mature to be a student.

Xiao Yi Xian nodded.

"Then go stand with them."

The man pointed to the group of new students enduring the scorching sun.

Xiao Yi Xian's delicate brows furrowed.

"Why?"

The man grinned, as if filled with interest in what was about to happen.

"Of course, it's to temper your arrogance, so you don't get to the academy and still think you're invincible. Just like now, daring to talk back to your senior!"

"And what if I refuse?" Xiao Yi Xian's expression turned cold upon hearing this.

"Then I'll invite you over," the man said with a malicious smile. "Of course, don't blame your senior if I don't hold back then."

Xiao Yi Xian reached for the small pouch at her waist, but Lin Ze stopped her pretty hand.

He glanced at the badge pinned to the man's chest, which bore three golden stars.

Three Star Dou Practitioner.

His strength was comparable, and he had the nerve to provoke them.

"Sorry, neither of us will go over. As for tempering our spirit, I wonder if you, senior, have the strength for that?"

Lin Ze said with a smile.

The man's face instantly turned grim.

"So arrogant? It seems a small lesson wasn't enough!"
