Canaan Academy Recruitment! A Spar!

Canaan Academy Recruitment! A Spar!

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

During this month, Wang Chen had been extremely cautious.

He did not even go to the Magical Beast Mountain Range, staying in the Xiao Clan every day to cultivate Dou Qi and hone his techniques.

He had not even used his cheat, cultivating entirely through normal means.

It was only one month, so he treated it as a chance to relax.

If he exposed himself just to gain one extra month, the loss would far outweigh the gain.

The Xiao Clan's calamity was still many years away, so Wang Chen had no need to rush.

But although he had mentally prepared himself, actually cultivating was still rather unbearable.

His talent was simply too lousy.

After a month of hard cultivation, his Dou Qi had barely improved and remained at the same level as before.

His Dou Techniques, however, had improved considerably, and their power had increased slightly as well.

"Young Master Chen, the Canaan Academy recruitment teachers will be arriving soon."

Outside Wang Chen's small courtyard, a male servant respectfully reported.

The Xiao Clan's higher-ups had specifically sent him to inform Wang Chen.

"Alright. Thank you for the trouble."

"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare."

After apologizing a few times, the servant left directly.

Wang Chen's attitude had truly left him flattered and overwhelmed.

For Wang Chen, a transmigrator, treating others as equals was perfectly normal, but in this world, it was far too unusual.

This servant had never received such treatment before.

Especially now that Wang Chen had revealed his talent, he was at the height of his prestige within the Xiao Clan.

He was completely regarded as one of the twin stars who could lead the Xiao Clan to prosperity.

The other was Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan's attitude was entirely different from Wang Chen's. He was extremely arrogant.

That was also why so many people mocked him after his talent disappeared later on.

Compared to Xiao Yan, Wang Chen's attitude was indeed far better.

Naturally, this surprised the servants.

Wang Chen did not care much about the servant's feelings.

For him now, the most important thing was Canaan Academy.

It concerned his future development.

He could not afford even the slightest carelessness.

After making some simple preparations, Wang Chen set off.

Canaan Academy's recruitment site in Wutan City was located at the central square.

Given Canaan Academy's reputation, it would surely be packed with people.

Wang Chen had no acquaintances there and could not pull any strings.

Naturally, he had to arrive early to avoid standing in an excessively long line.

Wutan City Central Square.

Canaan Academy's recruitment site had only just been set up when a massive crowd surged toward it.

The huge square was filled with endless noise.

Countless young people desperately shoved their way toward the center of the square.

If not for the City Lord's Manor personnel maintaining order around the outskirts, the entire square would have descended into chaos.

Watching the surging crowd, Wang Chen also began making his way inside.

With his current strength, squeezing through was effortless.

Without revealing much, Wang Chen had already pushed his way into the testing area of the square.

Relying on the Dou Zhe strength he displayed, Wang Chen easily passed the test and entered the inner area of the square to wait for the subsequent detailed examination.

Seeing the shaded tent, Wang Chen did not stop and walked straight toward it.

Seeing Wang Chen's steps, the dozen or so people standing outside beneath the sun all looked at him with a hint of pity.

It was not as if they had never tried going inside before, but they had all been taught a lesson in the end.

Otherwise, they were not so full that they would insist on enjoying a sunbath.

When he reached the edge of the tent, Wang Chen saw the situation inside.

There were around ten people, gathered in groups of two or three as they chatted casually.

Judging from their relaxed demeanor, they were clearly Canaan Academy students.

"Kid! You've come to the wrong place."

Before Wang Chen could step into the tent, a fierce-looking man sitting alone to one side stood up and shouted at him.

"Even if you passed the test, you still need to wait outside for half an hour."

Hearing that, Wang Chen looked at the other man with an amused expression.

This rule was indeed an unwritten rule of Canaan Academy, meant to temper the students a little.

After all, those who could pass Canaan Academy's tests definitely possessed decent talent.

In the small places where they lived, they could even be called geniuses, making them prone to arrogance.

But Canaan Academy was no ordinary academy. Even people from certain places in the Central Plains came here to study.

Naturally, the academy had plenty of geniuses.

If those ordinary geniuses were too arrogant, it would be highly detrimental to their future studies and cultivation.

That was why this unwritten rule existed.

But as the saying went, on the Dou Qi Continent, strength was king.

Rules would always restrain the weak.

Wang Chen did not consider himself particularly strong, but he was still quite formidable in this place.

He had no desire to stand under the sun.

Besides, he intended to reveal his talent and attract the attention of those proud academy elders so that one of them would take him as a disciple.

That was the only way Wang Chen could conveniently learn alchemy.

"What if I refuse?"

Wang Chen's casual words immediately enraged the other party.

"Hehe! Man Hu, looks like someone doesn't think much of you."

Not far from the fierce man, a skinny and comical-looking man added fuel to the fire.

Man Hu, already furious, became even angrier.

"Very well. If you can withstand twenty moves from me, you may enter."

As Man Hu spoke, he clenched his fists and walked toward Wang Chen.

Five golden stars were embroidered on the chest of his academy uniform.

Man Hu had seen plenty of arrogant geniuses from small places like Wang Chen.

He had already dealt with several before.

In his view, at Wang Chen's age, even Dou Qi Level Eight would be the limit.

Against a Five-Star Dou Zhe like him, Wang Chen probably could not withstand even one move.

The reason he said twenty moves was simply to leave Wang Chen with a deep impression.

Without strength, do not try to stand out.

"Your words, not mine. Then let's have a spar."

Watching Man Hu draw closer, Wang Chen replied casually.

A mere Five-Star Dou Zhe was not worth Wang Chen's concern.

Not to mention that he was already a Grand Dou Shi—even if he suppressed himself to the same realm as Man Hu, Wang Chen could still easily crush him.

Boom!!!

Seeing Wang Chen's casual expression, Man Hu suddenly burst forward and threw a punch.

It was aimed directly at Wang Chen's face, showing just how angry Man Hu was.

This punch would definitely leave Wang Chen with an unforgettable memory.

Bang!!!

Unfortunately, Man Hu had thought things through beautifully, but events did not unfold as he had imagined.

Wang Chen merely raised his right leg slowly and directly blocked Man Hu's fist.

"What a terrifying punch!"

Wang Chen mocked him, then pressed his right leg down with force. His left leg instantly rose and kicked Man Hu in the head.

Boom!!!

The bulky Man Hu was sent flying by Wang Chen's kick, blasted out of the tent and smashed onto the stone pavement outside.

"What?!"
