Dealing with the Arrogant Senior Student

Xiao Yan looked at Instructor Ruolin and said with a smile, "You must be the instructor in charge of admissions this time, right?"

Instructor Ruolin nodded, then reached out and took hold of Xiao Yan's wrist.

"Don't be nervous, just circulate your Dou Qi," Instructor Ruolin said, offering comfort.

Nervous? What is there to be nervous about? If they were to actually fight, Instructor Ruolin wouldn't even be able to beat Xiao Yan, so why would he be nervous?

The moment Xiao Yan circulated his cultivation technique, Instructor Ruolin's expression changed instantly.

"A Great Dou Shi!"

Once those three words left Instructor Ruolin's lips, all the Canaan Academy students present were shocked.

However, the people from Wutan City had long known of Xiao Yan's strength, so they were not the least bit surprised by this result. Furthermore, Xiao Yan's feat of killing the five-star Great Dou Shi Jalie Bi while crossing ranks was even more impressive.

Instructor Ruolin was so startled she couldn't even stand steadily; she had never seen such a young Great Dou Shi before. What kind of grade was she supposed to give him?

Xiao Yu also knew that Xiao Yan's impact was too great, so she hurriedly stepped forward and held onto Instructor Ruolin.

"Instructor Ruolin, please don't get too excited. Xiao Yan's reputation is very famous in our Wutan City, but you all probably didn't know," Xiao Yu said with an apologetic look.

Instructor Ruolin nodded, though she still hadn't quite regained her composure.

The student who had been making things difficult for Xiao Yan earlier slumped onto the ground, unable to be pulled up by anyone.

Xiao Yan smiled and said, "There's no need to be so tense. I am not like you all; I won't hold a grudge over such a small matter."

Instructor Ruolin smiled and said, "You all shouldn't just stand here either. Go to the back and take a seat."

With that, Xiao Yu led Xiao Yan and the others toward the back.

A person named Xueni came skipping over and wrapped her arms around Xiao Yu's.

"Xiao Yu, is this the person from your Xiao Clan behind you? You Xiao Clan members are all quite good-looking."

Listening to Xueni's playful remarks, Xiao Yu only smiled.

Xueni said, "Hurry and come in to sit; there are chairs inside."

Xiao Yan nodded. Before he sat down, the other members of the Xiao Clan dared not take their seats first.

Yet, just as Xiao Yan sat down in his chair, a man walked over, his eyes revealing a hint of ruthlessness.

However, he put on a fake smile and said, "These are all new students, right? Have you passed the test?"

Seeing Luo Bu, Xiao Yu said impatiently, "This is not something you need to worry about. Mind your own business."

Luo Bu pulled out a crystal ball and said with a smile, "It would still be best if you all gave it a try."

Seeing that everyone remained seated, Luo Bu felt a bit awkward, but he was also extremely angry. Especially when he saw Xiao Yu sitting so close to Xiao Yan, Luo Bu felt a strong urge to rush over and beat Xiao Yan up.

"Luo Bu, these people from our Xiao Clan have all been tested by Instructor Ruolin. What is the meaning of this?" Xiao Yu said impatiently.

Luo Bu put away the crystal ball and dropped his smile.

"Fine. Since you've passed the test, then please, little brothers, go outside and take a rest."

Xiao Yan looked at the new students being baked by the sun outside and couldn't help but want to laugh.

Luo Bu watched Xiao Yan, as he could sense that these people from the Xiao Clan all treated Xiao Yan as their core.

"Little brother, the seat you are sitting in is reserved for us senior students. I suggest you stand up!" Luo Bu said, staring at Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan retorted, "Oh? Is your name written on this chair?"

Luo Bu's face turned livid, and Xiao Yu began to laugh.

"Luo Bu, I advise you not to provoke him, or you will definitely regret it." Xiao Yu kept covering her mouth to hide her laughter.

Luo Bu said, "Ge Ci, it seems this junior doesn't understand the rules. It looks like you need to teach him what the rules are."

A very sturdy man walked over from the side, though his appearance was difficult to describe.

Ge Ci threatened, "Little brother, I advise you to leave on your own. If I have to invite you out, it won't be a pretty sight."

Xiao Yan rested his chin on his hand and said nonchalantly, "Xiao Ning, since this senior has such high spirits, why don't you keep him company and play a little?"

Xiao Ning smiled and agreed, then stood up and walked to the front of Ge Ci.

Before leaving home, Xiao Yan had left behind several Qi Gathering Powders. Both Xiao Ning and Xiao Mei had received one and had long since stepped into the ranks of Dou Zhe.

Now, with the support of the clan, Xiao Ning had become a three-star Dou Zhe; compared to before, it was like heaven and earth.

Xiao Mei's strength had also reached the level of a two-star Dou Zhe, and the other members of the Xiao Clan were all, without exception, Dou Zhe as well.

Even the elders and Xiao Zhan had seen their strength increase to varying degrees. This was all thanks to the rise in the Xiao Clan's status, which allowed them to obtain more resources.

Ge Ci looked at Xiao Ning, who was about the same age as him, and said disdainfully, "It seems the leader of your generation is a coward, sending you to take this beating for him."

Xiao Ning looked at Ge Ci as if he were an idiot and said, stifling a laugh, "Brother, I advise you not to provoke our Young Clan Head, or you'll have a hard time later on."

Seeing that he was losing face, Ge Ci spat out, "You're courting death!"

He suddenly lunged forward and arrived right in front of Xiao Ning.

Xiao Ning smiled slightly and dodged Ge Ci's attack in a single exchange.

As Ge Ci exposed his back, Xiao Ning seized the opportunity and shouted, "Mountain Shattering Fist!"

Ge Ci was struck squarely in the back by that punch, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.

He then tumbled several times before collapsing onto the ground.

Luo Bu's expression turned grave as he remarked, "A three-star Dou Zhe!"

Xiao Ning said nothing, merely walking over to Xiao Yan's side.

Xiao Yan nodded, and only then did Xiao Ning return to his seat.

Luo Bu gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, fine, fine. I've noted this grudge today. Just wait until we reach Canaan Academy. Let's see how I deal with you then."

Xiao Yan sighed and replied, "Although I don't like to bicker with others, if you say one more word, be careful that I don't let you walk out of Wutan City alive. Do not doubt the sincerity of my words; even Canaan Academy won't be able to protect you."

Luo Bu was choked into silence, having lost all face. Unable to bear staying there any longer, he turned and ran off.

Instructor Ruolin walked in at this moment and asked, "Why is it so lively in here? Are you all trying to bully the new students again?"

Ruolin sighed; seniors bullying newcomers was a common occurrence at Canaan Academy.

However, they had kicked an iron plate this time. Never mind these senior students—even those monsters in the Inner Academy wouldn't dare speak to Xiao Yan in such a manner.

Instructor Ruolin could only offer an apologetic look and say, "My apologies, Xiao Yan, for this embarrassing display. Canaan Academy will certainly enforce stricter discipline in the future."

Xiao Yan smiled and said, "Instructor Ruolin, you've misunderstood. We were merely exchanging pointers with our seniors. I wanted to experience the quality of education at Canaan Academy; there was no other intention."

Instructor Ruolin could only nod. Since Xiao Yan had put it that way, it was not her place to say anything more.
