Black-Corner Region

Xiao Li did not go to see Little Fairy Doctor. This girl seemed to have developed some unusual feelings for him, but looking at her face, which resembled that of a middle schooler from his past life, he truly could not reciprocate those feelings.

However, I suppose it would be fine in a few years. It seems I still haven't accepted the fact that people are considered adults at sixteen in this world. Pfft, no, no, what am I thinking?

Noticing the shift in his mindset, Xiao Li gasped in horror. He was actually contemplating "loli-raising." He really shouldn't have gone to see Xiao Yan; it had caused him to start viewing Little Fairy Doctor, whom he originally saw as a little sister, as part of a "raising a wife" series.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Su Fei was walking back to Canaan Academy with a grin so wide it looked like her face might split, muttering to herself incessantly.

"Fifteen years old, Da Dou Shi, promotion in rank, hehehehe, fifteen years old..."

Li Fei'er felt a chill watching from the side and looked at her fellow disciples. "Do you think Teacher has gone mad?"

Li Lin clicked his tongue twice and glanced at the figure behind them, whose presence had caused them all to have a mental breakdown three days ago. "Compared to Teacher, it's this world that's even crazier. Three days ago, I never would have imagined that someone could reach the Da Dou Shi realm while I was still at an age where I thought I was the protagonist of an anime."

Another student, Zhou Qi, gave him a look of disdain. "Please, you're still in that phase right now. Who knows who it is that's always shouting 'Dou Qi Wings' in the dormitory, fantasizing about being a Dou Wang expert?"

Li Lin's face turned red; he hummed twice and didn't reply.

Xiao Li listened to their conversation helplessly. It wasn't that he wanted to eavesdrop, but these guys weren't even trying to be discreet—each one was louder than the last, and with Xiao Li's strength, he could naturally hear them clearly.

The journey was quite boring for Xiao Li. Aside from Su Fei, few in the group dared to speak to him, often just stealing glances. This feeling made Xiao Li's skin crawl.

Sitting on the flying magical beast exclusive to Canaan Academy, Xiao Li entered a state of cultivation. With the reputation of Canaan Academy protecting them, they were essentially safe entering the Black-Corner Region; they just needed to wait patiently for a while.

Seeing Xiao Li working so hard, Su Fei, who had become a "Xiao Li fan" over the past few days, immediately arched her brows. "Look at him. This is how someone who qualifies for the Inner Academy upon enrollment behaves. Now look at yourselves."

Su Fei scolded the other students one by one. The newly enrolled students had witnessed her severity over the past few days; she worked them to the bone, barely treating them like human beings.

Li Fei'er and the others wore bitter expressions and had no choice but to sit cross-legged and begin cultivating.

Seeing Xiao Li emerge from his cultivation state, Su Fei quickly put on a smile again. "Did Big Sister disturb you? Go ahead, practice, I'll be quieter."

Xiao Li shook his head. "It's not that, Teacher. I just wanted to see what the Black-Corner Region is like, and whether it's truly as chaotic as the rumors say."

Hearing the name "Black-Corner Region," Su Fei's expression darkened. She hesitated, but eventually said, "Fine, taking a look is good. Seeing the dark side of humanity in this world will be beneficial for your growth."

When the flying magical beast had been traveling for about ten days, the monotonous, rolling mountains below suddenly began to thin out. Xiao Li was slightly stunned, then raised his head and scanned the distance.

He saw that at the edge of his vision, a pitch-black plain stretched out like a black line, completely separating the outside world from the world within.

Watching that black line gradually expand in his field of vision, a smile spread across the corners of Xiao Li's mouth. Finally, I'm out of the newbie village. With the Black-Corner Region and Canaan Academy, Xiao Li believed he would only cultivate faster.

This Black Domain Great Plain was the gateway to the Black-Corner Region. Once one stepped foot here, they were entering that chaotic world, so incompatible with the outside.

Su Fei's expression became grave. "Everyone, be careful. Some lunatics in the Black-Corner Region will attack even if they see it's a team from Canaan Academy."

As Su Fei finished speaking, Xiao Li noticed a lean old man emerging from a corner room. His aura was obscure, but it was clearly far beyond Su Fei's.

A Dou Ling expert...

Watching this expert, the likes of which he had never seen before, Xiao Li narrowed his eyes slightly. It seemed Canaan Academy was quite well-prepared.

The boundless plain was a monotonous black as far as the eye could see. Against the slightly dim sky, an oppressive and irritable atmosphere lingered over the land. In such a bizarre place, it was no wonder that such chaotic rules would breed.

The scenes below the flying magical beast truly opened Xiao Li's eyes. Almost everywhere he looked, there was fighting; countless people were engaged in robbery, theft, and slaughter.

Fortunately, these villains would show a degree of caution upon seeing the emblem of Canaan Academy, not even daring to approach.

The corpses hanging from the Death Spirit Tree in front of Canaan Academy were no joke; no one in the Black-Corner Region wanted to end up hanging there.

"Little fellow, now that you've seen it with your own eyes, you finally understand, right? Teacher Su Fei is right—there are no good people here," the old man's voice sounded beside Xiao Li.

"In the Black-Corner Region, never let anyone see through your true strength or background..."

"Teacher, can we rob them of their things?" Xiao Li asked the old man a peculiar question.

The old man was stunned, followed by a wheezing sound in his throat—a dry, raspy laugh. "Of course you can, as long as you have the strength."

"Right now?"

"Anytime, anywhere. There are no rules."

The old man stared at Xiao Li, seemingly trying to see through what he was thinking.

Xiao Li curled his lips into a smile. "Then, Teacher, please have the team wait for me for a few seconds. I'll be right back."

With that, Xiao Li leaped down. He had just spotted something very suitable for him; if he could get it, a breakthrough was in sight.

The old man was so dumbfounded by Xiao Li's actions that he even plucked out a few hairs from his beard. "Stop, stop, wait a moment!"

Watching Su Fei and the students gathering around to ask what was happening, the old man didn't know how to explain it. Was he supposed to say that the most monstrous student recruited this year had just jumped off?

"You all wait here. I'll be back shortly."

After saying this, the old man also leaped down. It was a drop of over a hundred meters; it was a miracle Xiao Li dared to jump.

At this moment, Xiao Li was excited, staring at the corpse of the Rank 3 magical beast below. He landed on its soft carcass and rolled to dissipate the force of the fall.

Seeing the figure descend from the sky, the Ancient Vine Mercenary Group, who had been fighting over the beast's corpse for half a day, froze. The scene fell into an eerie silence.

Looking at the flying magical beast in the sky that belonged exclusively to Canaan Academy, the leader of the Ancient Vine Mercenary Group had a complicated expression, but he couldn't help but speak.

"I don't know why you... er, descended from the sky. This is a magical beast hunted by our Ancient Vine..."

Staring at the Canaan Academy uniform Xiao Li was wearing, the leader choked on his words and couldn't finish his sentence.

Xiao Li stood up and gave the leader of the Ancient Vine Mercenary Group a grin. If it were Xiao Yan, he wouldn't rob people he didn't know; he had principles.

Unfortunately, he was Xiao Li. He didn't know many characters, and he only knew that there was no need for a reason to rob villains.

He had watched them rob this item with his own eyes. As for villains, Xiao Li didn't have any principles.

Everyone was a bad guy, so why could they rob others, but he couldn't rob them?

No, that wasn't right. This was called "acting on behalf of Heaven."
