Inner Academy Selection Tournament
"By the way, Xun'er, Yanran, what's your relationship now?"
After chatting for a while, Xiao Mei suddenly asked with a curious expression.
At the same time, Xiao Yu, though silent, was also staring intently at the two women.
When Xiao Mei asked, Nalan Yanran raised an eyebrow, while the Eldest Miss of the Gu Clan maintained a proper smile.
But when the two women's eyes met in the air, it was as if a bolt of lightning had struck!
However, the two women wouldn't argue in front of Xiao Yu and Xiao Mei.
What's more, Xiao Yan and Xiao Ning are not far away.
"Cousin Xiao Yu, Cousin Xiao Mei, my relationship with Miss Yanran is 'very good,' especially in the last two weeks; our relationship has deepened considerably!"
The Eldest Miss of the Gu Clan smiled with narrowed eyes.
However, she seemed to emphasize the word "very good" by a tiny bit.
Xiao Mei is a few months younger than Xun'er; she enrolled at the Jia Nan Academy during this year's admissions process.
Xiao Ning did it a year ago, while Xiao Yu did it more than three years ago.
Hearing Xun'er's teasing tone, Nalan Yanran secretly rolled her eyes.
In the two weeks since they left home for the Jia Nan Academy, their relationship has become so "good" that they feel uncomfortable if they don't tease each other every day!
However, it's strange.
The two women had been bickering for half a month, but surprisingly, they didn't dislike each other!
Rather, it is a special kind of "hostile" relationship that is difficult to explain or articulate.
They might make sarcastic remarks to each other on ordinary days, but when they encounter outsiders, they choose to unite against them.
Even when meeting acquaintances, they act like "best friends".
Just like right now.
That's why Xiao Yu and Xiao Mei asked because they didn't understand the relationship between the two women.
"Xun'er is right. Because of Xiao Yan, our relationship is indeed 'very good' now, so you don't need to worry."
Nalan Yanran, who was usually serious and rarely smiled, also showed a bright smile at this moment.
However, it's clear from Nalan Yanran's words that she's taking advantage of Xun'er!
After all, Nalan Yanran called Xun'er "little sister," but Xun'er never treated her as "older sister"!
Xun'er, with her exceptional tea-drinking skills, naturally understood the meaning behind Nalan Yanran's words.
Therefore, she smiled again and said, "Miss Yanran is older than me and has taken good care of me along the way. I haven't had a Xun'er to properly thank her yet."
Xun'er was subtly mocking Nalan Yanran for being too old.
Immediately afterwards, the two women unknowingly began another round of invisible confrontation.
Xiao Yu and Xiao Mei, who had started this conversation, listened to the two women's dialogue with some curiosity.
They always felt as if "swords and shadows" flashed before their eyes, but they couldn't quite put their finger on what the problem was.
Then, Xiao Yan and Xiao Ning also came over.
And so, the six young men and women reunited at the Jia Nan Academy, a place some distance from the Jia Ma Empire.
In the days that followed, the six of them huddled together for warmth and support.
Of course, the main reason is that Xiao Yan, Xun'er, and Nalan Yanran have powerful connections!
After all, when they first enrolled, they were already at the Dou Ling realm, one a seven-star, one a six-star, and the other a five-star!
This fighting power is enough to sweep through the entire Outer Academy!
You should know that normally, he hasn't even reached the Dou Ling realm yet; he's still in the Outer Academy.
All I can say is that Xiao Yan and his two companions are quite special!
Xiao Yan and his friends are now waiting for the Inner Academy Selection Tournament to be held in three months.
Ultimately, the improvement in their abilities within the Outer Academy is limited.
The real challenge begins only when you reach the Inner Academy!
And so, time slowly passed.
Three months is neither a short nor a long time.
During this period, they could only continue their cultivation in a step-by-step manner.
However, this is, after all, Jia Nan Academy, a place of academic nature.
Unlike the Inner Academy, cultivation here is mostly done by oneself.
In the Outer Academy, there are still things similar to the classes and lessons in my previous school.
Xiao Yan, Xun'er, and Nalan Yanran are considered transfer students who enrolled this year.
While attending classes here, Xiao Yan, as a transmigrator, experienced his previous life's schooling for the first time in a long time, which surprised him greatly.
So even though he didn't learn anything useful in class, he was still very attentive!
Perhaps this is Xiao Yan reminiscing about his school life in his previous life.
As a genius, a prominent figure who caused a stir as soon as he entered the academy, and with no airs, Xiao Yan quickly made many friends in the Outer Academy.
Although these friends were far less capable than him, Xiao Yan still treated them with genuine sincerity.
All I can say is that he cherishes this kind of campus life immensely!
Of course, it wasn't just Xiao Yan; Xun'er and Nalan Yanran also gained many followers and protectors.
However, because of Xiao Yan's presence, the others could only silently act as guardians, not daring to do anything that would cause them discomfort.
It was in this atmosphere that Xiao Yan and his friends finally ushered in this year's Inner Academy Selection Tournament!
Xiao Yan also knew that his precious three months of campus life was about to come to an end.
Once inside the Inner Academy, things are quite different.
In fact, to draw an analogy, the Outer Academy is like university campus life, while the Inner Academy is like the internship before graduation.
Although it was only a short three months, Xiao Yan was already very satisfied to be able to experience this kind of campus life in the Dou Qi Continent.
Furthermore, in the three months that followed, Xiao Yan's strength improved again, reaching the level of Eight-Star Dou Spirit.
Naturally, Xun'er also reached the Seven-Star Dou Spirit, while Nalan Yanran reached the Six-Star Dou Ling.
With their combined strength, passing the Inner Academy Selection Tournament would be a piece of cake.
The Jia Nan Academy's Inner Academy Selection Tournament selects 50 of the most outstanding Outer Academy students each year to enter the Inner Academy.
Based on past years' performance, a player can usually break into the top 50 in the later stages of the Dou Master rankings.
Xiao Yan and his two companions were already at the Dou Ling, and not even at the early stage of Dou Ling!
If they fail the Inner Academy Selection Tournament, there's definitely something fishy going on!
Oh, by the way, Xiao Yu has been in the Outer Academy of the Jia Nan Academy for three years and has now reached the cultivation level of Three-Star Dou Venerable Da Dou Shi. She will also participate in the Inner Academy Selection Tournament this time.
Because of the changes in the Xiao Household, her strength has also increased significantly compared to the Original Work.
In fact, Xiao Yu had already reached the cultivation level of Seven-Star Dou Master last year, and had a chance to break into the top fifty of the Outer Academy.
But she wasn't confident last year, so she spent another year preparing.
This kind of situation is actually quite common in the Outer Academy; it's not an isolated case.
It's important to know that many students who barely make it into the Inner Academy are often bullied by upperclassmen if they don't have someone they know to take care of them.
For this reason, many students from the Outer Academy will improve their cultivation level a little before participating in the Inner Academy Selection Tournament.
Because, once you reach a higher cultivation level and enter the Inner Academy, you will not only be less bullied, but you will also have the opportunity to compete for a higher ranking in the Inner Academy Selection Tournament!
Higher rankings naturally come with additional rewards.
Xiao Yu clearly shared the same plan.
As for Xiao Ning and Xiao Mei, the former is currently a two- Dou Master and the latter is still Seven-Star Dou Zhe, so naturally they do not plan to participate in this year's Inner Academy Selection Tournament.
And so, the day finally arrived for the annual Inner Academy Selection Tournament!
