Lending a Hand! Instructor Ruolin!

The atmosphere inside the tent was somewhat heavy, with the surrounding Jia Nan Academy students watching the show.

The new students outside the tent had eyes full of anticipation.

Standing opposite that new student was a fair-skinned young man.

The three gold stars on the chest of his Jia Nan Academy uniform displayed his strength.

However, at this moment, his fair face was filled with a gloomy expression, looking incredibly unsightly.

Luo De felt the onlookers' gazes and immediately felt he had lost face.

Previously, he had been bossing those new students around, severely dampening the spirits of these geniuses from small places.

It had made him feel very satisfied!

He hadn't expected to run into another thorn, one who defied his words in front of so many people!

This made the face-conscious Luo De feel exceptionally humiliated.

"Heh, I've seen a few thorns like you."

"But their final fate is always the same: the louder they shout at the start, the more miserably they scream in the end!"

"This is an unwritten rule of Jia Nan Academy, to dampen the spirits of you geniuses from small places."

"Lest you arrive at the academy and start brawling at the slightest disagreement!"

The burly youth rolled his eyes and said disdainfully.

"Just because you're a three-star Dou Practitioner, you think you can dampen my spirits? Heh."

Luo De had originally thought his previous words would salvage his reputation.

He hadn't expected this guy to completely ignore him!

And the words he spoke were so infuriating!

Especially those last two laughs of ambiguous meaning.

They completely ignited the rage within his heart.

"Since that's the case, let me, a senior who is a three-star Dou Practitioner, teach you what the academy's rules are!"

"Come on then, I also want to see how impressive the academy's seniors are, or if Jia Nan Academy is just living up to an empty reputation."

The youth's arrogance led him to decisively accept the challenge.

The onlookers cleared a space, watching the show with even greater delight.

The new students baking in the sun outside the tent also had expectant eyes, hoping the burly youth could vent their frustrations!

Xiao Ze looked at the two standing in position and raised an eyebrow slightly.

He could naturally see that the two were in the same realm, both being three-star Dou Practitioners.

Looking at the burly youth's physique, one could tell he trained his body diligently!

Among low-level cultivators, a burly body could definitely hold a significant advantage!

Sure enough, after a Jia Nan Academy student acting as the referee announced "Begin."

The burly youth rushed forward instantly, throwing a punch with great force!

Caught off guard, Luo De was actually forced back three steps by the punch, his face instantly turning gloomy!

His originally confident face was now covered in dark clouds.

From that brief contact, he realized that this thorn's strength seemed no less than his own!

Xiao Ze watched from the sidelines, silently thinking: This thorn is a bit prickly!

He was actually quite happy to see this.

Although the intention of dampening the spirits of geniuses from small places to reduce brawling was good.

There was no need to use such methods!

Once they reached Jia Nan Academy and saw that everyone around them was at the same level, or even more talented, their arrogance would naturally diminish.

If they still held an attitude of looking down on everything, then Xiao Ze felt that wasn't having spirit, but being stupid!

Behavior like throwing people outside to bake in the sun for half an hour was truly inappropriate!

While Xiao Ze's mind was filled with thoughts, Luo De had already been knocked to the ground under the burly youth's relentless barrage of attacks!

This immediately made Luo De feel a burning sensation on his face, as if he had been slapped a dozen times.

The surprised gazes of those around him also made him feel ashamed beyond measure!

Seeing this scene, the new students' eyes were filled with joy; they had finally been avenged!

Seeing Luo De on the ground, the burly youth's eyes revealed a trace of disappointment, and he did not beat a man when he was down.

At this moment, Xiao Ze suddenly noticed that Luo De, lying on the ground, seemed to have tossed something into his mouth!

Xiao Ze narrowed his eyes slightly. Was he going to play dirty because he couldn't win?

Sure enough, Luo De flipped over, his aura becoming unusual as he charged toward the burly youth with blood-red eyes.

The burly youth sensed something was wrong, but Luo De was already upon him, his fist glowing with Dou Qi—he was clearly using some kind of Dou Technique!

Bang!

Puchi!

Caught off guard, the burly youth was sent flying backward instantly.

After landing, he retreated several steps before dropping to one knee and vomiting a mouthful of blood!

Luo De stomped his foot hard, leaving a shallow footprint in the ground!

He lunged toward the burly youth, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes!

The young girls watching from the sidelines let out a cry of alarm.

The other Jia Nan Academy students also frowned, wanting to step in and stop him; it would be bad if a life were lost!

The new students standing out in the sun watched with eyes full of worry.

The burly youth looked up, his heart racing as he stared at Luo De's glowing fist.

But his injuries left him unable to move, and he could only watch helplessly as the fist closed in!

At the critical moment!

The burly youth saw a hand wrapped in pale blue Dou Qi reach out from the side and grab Luo De's wrist!

"Forgiveness is a virtue; this is a lethal blow, why go that far?"

Xiao Ze's calm voice rang out from the side, causing both Luo De and the burly youth to look over!

The crowd cast looks of surprise toward Xiao Ze.

They hadn't even noticed when Xiao Ze had approached!

"You brat, you want to stand up for him?!"

Luo De's eyes were blood-red, and he was clearly not in his right mind.

"Tsk! What kind of drug did you take? Your strength didn't increase much, but the side effects are so potent they've rotted your brain!"

As Xiao Ze spoke, he exerted a sudden force with his arm.

With a crisp crack, Luo De's arm was snapped clean!

"Ah!"

Luo De's body twisted as he doubled over.

Xiao Ze raised his foot and kicked Luo De in the chest!

He sent him flying, rolling over a dozen times outside the tent!

"Hiss!"

What is this youth's background?

He's this fierce!

He actually sent Luo De, who had taken a medicinal pill to temporarily boost his strength, flying.

This youth's strength must be extraordinary!

The atmosphere inside the entire tent froze, and countless eyes fell upon Xiao Ze.

The Jia Nan Academy students looked on with grave expressions.

As for the girls who knew Xiao Ze's identity, their faces were filled with shock!

Among the new students, some of the girls looked at Xiao Ze's figure with eyes full of admiration!

Right in the middle of this silence, a very gentle voice rang out.

"Oh my, I was only gone for a moment, and you all have caused such a scene!"

Following the voice, a figure in green appeared quietly.

She wore a gentle smile that made one feel as if a clear spring were flowing through their heart.

One could feel a unique, gentle, and lively spirit radiating from her.

It was none other than the instructor in charge of this recruitment, Instructor Ruolin!

Worried that Xiao Ze might be in trouble, Xiao Yu hurriedly rushed over with a grin, wrapping her arms tightly around Ruolin's curvaceous waist.

"Hehe, Instructor Ruolin, Yu'er missed you so much! The one who acted just now is my cousin, Xiao Ze. He was a bit reckless, so please don't blame him."

"Oh? He is your cousin, and he is also here to participate in this recruitment?"

"Yes!"

A flash of surprise and delight crossed Ruolin's eyes.

She might have really struck gold this time!

Xiao Ze was currently pulling the burly youth to his feet.

The youth nodded at Xiao Ze, his expression full of gratitude.

"Many thanks for your help, my name is Lei Luo!"

"Xiao Ze!"
