Battle Through the Heavens: Reborn into the Xiao Clan, Starting with Xiao Xuan's Inheritance

Xiao Yu's face showed a hint of embarrassment upon hearing this. She truly did not know how to begin.

Finally recovering her senses, Ruo Lin returned to her seat. "Clan Leader Xiao!"

"I want both Xiao Yi and Xiao Xun'er for Canaan Academy!"

Xiao Zhan nodded. "Excellent, excellent..."

"Besides Xiao Yi and Xun'er, my Xiao Clan has other talented youths as well!"

Expectation appeared on Ruo Lin's face. "Clan Leader Xiao, are you saying there are others with talent comparable to those two?"

"Quick, quick! I've truly stumbled into a treasure house today!"

Xiao Zhan then slightly raised his head and looked at Xiao Yan. "Yan'er..."

"Our honored guests have already come to the Xiao Clan. You should at least come out and meet them..."

Only then did Xiao Yan leisurely step forward.

After hearing that Xiao Yan was Xiao Zhan's son and witnessing Xiao Yi's extraordinary talent at such a young age, Ruo Lin had also developed some expectations for Xiao Yan.

But when she sensed the aura within Xiao Yan's body, the anticipation in her eyes still dimmed.

"A one-star Dou Zhe..."

"His talent is quite good, but compared with Xiao Yi and Xun'er, he falls a little short..."

"Still, it is enough for him to enter Canaan Academy..."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhan slowly rose to his feet, a smile on his face as he said in a deep voice:

"Mentor Ruo Lin, you may not know this..."

"Yi'er and Yan'er had both reached the Dou Zhe level four years ago. For some unknown reason, they lost all their Dou Qi overnight. Their current strength is the result of only one year of cultivation..."

"Yi'er was in somewhat better condition. His Dou Qi recovered and he returned to the Dou Zhe level, but he still took only one year to advance from Dou Zhe to Dou Shi. As for Yan'er, he went from three stages of Dou Qi back to Dou Zhe in a single year..."

Upon hearing this, the hand holding Ruo Lin's raised teacup began to tremble uncontrollably.

"What!"

"One year—from Dou Zhe to Dou Shi, and from three stages of Dou Qi to Dou Zhe!"

Ruo Lin muttered to herself, unable to resist looking up at Xiao Yi and Xiao Yan.

What astonishing talent was this!

To make such progress in merely one year—and in a small place like Wutan City!

With such talent, if they were at Canaan Academy, their achievements would surely be even greater!

"Good, good, good!"

"Clan Leader Xiao! I want all three of them!"

Ruo Lin set down her teacup and spoke with immense excitement.

Yet Xiao Yan, who had been silent for so long, suddenly spoke.

"Father, Mentor Ruo Lin..."

"I'm afraid I cannot go to Canaan Academy..."

The moment Xiao Yan said this, everyone present was stunned.

After all, an institution as prestigious as Canaan Academy was a place countless people would fight desperately to enter.

Yet this boy, Xiao Yan, was saying he did not want to go?

"Yan'er, you..."

Xiao Zhan could hardly believe his ears.

In Xiao Zhan's view, talents like Xiao Yan and Xiao Yi should cultivate at Canaan Academy. Only Canaan Academy could provide them with the best resources.

The Xiao Clan had already done its utmost to give the two of them the best it could. It could no longer help them improve any further.

Xiao Yan clasped his hands toward Xiao Zhan and said solemnly, "Father..."

"I'm sorry. I understand your difficulties..."

"But I already have my own plans. Please, listen to me just this once..."

Seeing Xiao Yan's extremely serious expression, Xiao Zhan sighed helplessly and nodded.

The child had grown up and now had his own thoughts and plans.

As his father, he could not interfere too much. All he could do was offer unconditional support...

Seeing this, Ruo Lin's face showed a trace of disappointment. Then she turned toward Xiao Yi with some expectation.

"Xiao Yi, what about you? Are you willing to come with me to Canaan Academy..."

Xiao Yi smiled faintly and nodded. "Of course..."

"But I also hope Mentor Ruo Lin can grant me one request..."

Upon hearing this, Mentor Ruo Lin finally put her worried heart at ease. It had not been easy to encounter two such rare geniuses.

One had said he would not go, but fortunately, the one with even greater talent was willing to accompany her to Canaan Academy.

"What request..."

Xiao Yi slightly turned his head toward Little Fairy Doctor among the crowd and said softly, "I have a friend who also wishes to enroll in Canaan Academy with me!"

Mentor Ruo Lin did not even ask who this friend was before immediately nodding.

"Of course!"

After all, Ruo Lin would never allow a talent like Xiao Yi to slip away.

The moment those words were spoken, Xiao Yu's expression instantly turned ugly beside Ruo Lin.

Seriously, hadn't she just said Canaan Academy did not allow backdoor admissions...

And now it was allowed again?

So it was just because her strength was insufficient...

Only then did Xiao Xun'er notice Little Fairy Doctor, who had returned to the Xiao Clan alongside Xiao Yi.

Though Xun'er's expression did not change much, her breathing had clearly become somewhat hurried.

"Brother Xiao Yi, your friend..."

Xiao Yi slightly turned toward Xun'er and said softly, "Girl, my friend is named Little Fairy Doctor. I'll introduce the two of you when there's a chance..."

Xun'er did not say anything more. She merely nodded.

But she still could not resist raising her head to look at Little Fairy Doctor among the crowd.

Ruo Lin's recruitment process also ended quickly. This year, she successfully selected Xiao Yi, Xiao Xun'er, and Little Fairy Doctor, whom Xiao Yi had brought along, from the Xiao Clan.

That night, after Xiao Yi had properly settled Little Fairy Doctor down,

he went with Xiao Yan to the familiar back mountain.

"Brother Yi, why do you want to go to Canaan Academy..."

"With our ancestor guiding you, Canaan Academy probably can't teach you anything, right..."

Xiao Yan slightly turned his head toward Xiao Yi and asked in confusion.

Xiao Yi merely smiled faintly and said in a deep voice:

"Little Flame, everyone chooses a different path, and thus obtains different opportunities..."

"I chose Canaan Academy because it has something I want..."

As soon as Xiao Yi said this, Yao Lao beside Xiao Yan trembled slightly. He likely knew what Xiao Yi was referring to.

It was none other than the fourteenth-ranked Fallen Heart Flame...

What Yao Lao did not know, however, was that Xiao Yi had chosen to go to Canaan Academy for more than just the Fallen Heart Flame!

There was also the Ancient Emperor's Cave, as well as the old Dragon Emperor Zhukun, a peak nine-star Dou Sheng guarding its entrance!

In any case, Xiao Yi believed that countless opportunities awaited him at Canaan Academy, so he had to go...

"Yes..."

"Different choices lead to different paths..."

"But since it is the path I chose, I'll walk it even if I have to grit my teeth until they shatter!"

Xiao Yan slowly raised his head toward the sky and spoke softly.

Xiao Yi nodded and patted Xiao Yan's shoulder. "Don't worry, Little Flame..."

"Even if you do not enter Canaan Academy, with Venerable Yao's guidance, Nalan Yanran will definitely be no match for you three years from now..."

"Besides, when the three-year agreement arrives, I will climb Misty Cloud Sect with you and demand justice for our Xiao Clan!"
