Clowning Around

"Unacceptable!"

"Unacceptable!"

"Oh, it's lit up now. Let's go to the tent in the back."

Despite repeated emphasis, many people still stayed, hoping to get away with it. After being tested, they made various excuses to refuse to leave, and in the end, they were inevitably thrown out.

"Hello, senior, I am Xiao Yan from the Xiao Clan."

"Stop trying to get close, go take the test." The student said irritably, rubbing his temples. He was already exhausted, both physically and mentally, after dealing with all sorts of oddballs all morning.

Xiao Yan didn't care. After this period of training, his temperament had become much more composed, but his youthful spirit remained. At this moment, thinking about his upcoming display of prowess in front of others, he was secretly excited.

"Good."

Xiao Yan responded and reached out to touch the red crystal ball on the table.

With a buzzing sound, the testing crystal shone with an unprecedented light, like a flashbang dropped into a crowd.

"What, what is this?" Almost everyone on the field looked over, ignoring the tears streaming down their faces from the bright light, trying to see who had caused such a commotion.

It has to be said that Xiao Yan has achieved his goal. At this moment, he is wearing sunglasses, clasping his hands in greeting to the surroundings, and wearing a smug smile on his face.

"This light is incredibly bright! Junior, could it be... you're Nine-Star Dou Zhe?!" The recruit stood up, grabbed Xiao Yan's hand, and introduced himself, "My name is Lu Zhiyuan, junior..."

"Senior, stop trying to get close to me, let me pass!" Xiao Yan looked at the recruiter, mimicking his previous tone and adopting a street thug-like expression.

"Uh, yes, yes, yes!" The recruiter's attitude made a complete 180-degree turn at this moment, making people wonder whether he or Xiao Yan was actually in charge of the assessment.

"Hurry up and get in, don't block the way!" Huo Yuhao covered his face with his hands, looking at Xiao Yan's smug expression.

"Haha!" Xiao Yan took off his sunglasses, his smugness instantly vanishing. He smiled at the recruiting student and said, "Just kidding. Senior, I'm Xiao Yan from the Xiao Clan."

"Senior Lu, I have something I'd like to ask you." Huo Yuhao asked earnestly from behind Xiao Yan.

"You say it." Because of the emergence of the monster Xiao Yan, this student's attitude towards the Xiao Clan family members had improved considerably.

"This testing crystal's limit is the light it emits when facing Nine-Star Dou Zhe. What will happen when it encounters higher-level Dou Qi?" Huo Yuhao was worried that Xiao Yi Xian and his own Dou Qi would destroy the testing crystal, so he asked in advance.

"Haha, it's impossible for anyone to become Dou Master before the age of eighteen!" the student laughed matter-of-factly, but when he looked up and saw the serious look on Huo Yuhao's face, his laughter faltered. "You... really?"

Huo Yuhao nodded slightly, his aura as Da Dou Shi was released and then immediately withdrawn, only enveloping this student.

With a thud, the student stood up abruptly, knocking over the chair. His face was deathly pale, he was drenched in cold sweat, and his voice trembled.

"Please wait a moment, I'll go ask the teacher!"

He turned and rushed towards the front of the square to find the mentor who had spoken earlier.

A moment later, the tutor came running over, her gentle and mature face filled with disbelief.

"Greetings to the examiners from the Xiao Clan. I am Ruolin, your new student mentor. Please follow me."

"They really are in cahoots!" said Ding, the out-of-town passerby, his face filled with righteous indignation.

The student in charge of admissions for his team's team had a slight change in expression. He initially wanted to kick this rude guy out, but since he had made the testing crystal glow, kicking him out might negatively impact Jia Nan Academy's reputation. Therefore, the student held back, though his tone was somewhat harsh:

"Hurry up and go in, or you're out."

The out-of-town passerby, Ding, showed a look of humiliation on his face, cursing inwardly: Damn it, you snobbish bastard, you just wait!

Ruolin led the Xiao Clan family to the back of the square and into a large green tent.

Several students were still talking inside the tent. When they saw their instructor Ruolin, walk in, they quickly went to greet her.

"Professor, what brings you in!"

"Bring out the large testing stone!" Ruolin instructed her students, then turned to Huo Yuhao, her voice gentle. "Excuse me, this..."

"Mentor, my name is Huo Yuhao."

"Student Huo, it's not that I don't trust you, it's just that your abilities are perhaps astounding, and I simply can't believe it. So, I'd like to ask you to test yourself here."

Instructor Ruolin's attitude was very gentle, but Huo Yuhao frowned slightly.

Seeing this, Ruolin thought that Huo Yuhao, being a genius, was going to throw a tantrum, and she was having a headache about what to do, after all, she herself was only a Da Dou Shi. But Huo Yuhao's voice was much more polite than she had expected.

"Okay, mentor, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Ruolin breathed a sigh of relief and turned to arrange the talent tests for everyone in the Xiao Clan.

"Brother Huo Yuhao, what's wrong?" Xiao Yi Xian noticed Huo Yuhao's unusual expression and tugged at his sleeve.

"It's nothing." Huo Yuhao shook his head, dispelling the harsh faces of some Shrek Academy admissions teachers from his previous life that flashed through his mind.

A moment later, everything was ready. Huo Yuhao stepped forward and gently placed his palm on the testing stone pillar.

"A... a Two-Star Da Dou Shi?" The student in charge of taking notes dropped his pen and notebook to the ground.

"This, Instructor Ruolin?" After the initial shock, the student picked up a pen and paper, but was stumped about how to record the potential level.

"Let's record it as an S-rank for now, I'll report back when I get back," Instructor Ruolin said.

Next, the strength of each member of the Xiao Clan will be tested, and their potential levels will be recorded.

"Xiao Yan, Nine-Star Dou Zhe, S-rank!"

"Xiao Yi Xian, Three-Star Dou Master, S-Rank!"

"Xiao Xun'er, Seven-Star Dou Zhe, S-Rank!"

"Xiao Yu, Three-Star Dou Zhe, Rank B!"

The students of the Jia Nan Academy were somewhat numb after being shocked by several S-rank shivers in succession, until Xiao Yu, a Three-Star Dou Zhe, appeared, which gave them a pleasant surprise that "things have finally returned to normal."

The subsequent members of the Xiao Clan also all reached the level of One-Star Dou Zhe.

Looking at the team before them, both Instructor Ruolin and the students were quite impressed. In previous recruitment, almost no family had achieved such results, let alone the Xiao Clan, which was only a dominant family in a rural area like Wutan City.

"Please wait here for a while," Instructor Ruolin said. "Other candidates who passed will come to test their potential levels. Since we'll all be classmates, you can chat with them."

"Yes, Instructor Ruolin."

After Instructor Ruolin left the tent to continue conducting the tests, several students from the Jia Nan Academy came up to him to try and get close to him. Faced with these deliberate attempts to please him, Huo Yuhao did not act aloof but instead inquired about information about the Jia Nan Academy from them.

Next, candidates entered the tent one after another, and they were all shocked to see that the entire Xiao Clan family was there.

Suddenly, a somewhat chilling voice rang out:

"Senior, if I can defeat a Dou Zhe head-on, could I... also obtain their potential level?"
