Astonishing the Entire Crowd

"Xun Er, are you sure you want to Canaan Institute with me?" Xiao Yan asked, looking at the stunningly beautiful girl in front of him with a hint of helplessness.

"Of course, Xun Er is also very curious about Canaan Institute!" Xun Er said with a charming Yanran.

"Alright, you're already Da Dou Shi, why are you still thinking about going to Canaan Institute?" Xiao Yan thought for a moment and continued, "Xun Er, are you going straight to the Inner Academy?"

Xiao Yan believed that with Xun Er's current cultivation level of a Six Star Da Dou Shi, she was probably a formidable force within the Inner Academy of Canaan Institute.

"Xun Er is waiting for Xiao Yan Gege to go to the Inner Academy together!" Xun Er blinked at Xiao Yan and said earnestly.

"You..." Xiao Yan was somewhat helpless, but more than that, he was moved. How could he not be moved by the girl in front of him who had always trusted him and never abandoned him?

"Alright!" Xiao Yan ruffled Xun Er's hair, making it messy, which earned him a glare.

"Then Xun Er, you wait for me at Canaan Institute."

"Um!"

The two then headed together toward the registration point for Canaan Institute.

In the distance, two figures watched the boy and girl standing side by side with smiles in their eyes.

"Xun Er truly lives up to her reputation as the daughter-in-law I've chosen; she's adorable no matter how you look at her," a beautiful woman in palace attire said, her eyes sparkling.

"That Yan Er kid really needs to work hard. It won't be easy for him to marry Xun Er!" Xiao Zhan said, pouring cold water on the situation.

"So what!" Xiao Long remained confident. "Don't you trust Yan Er?"

At the end of her words, there was even a hint of hostility in her tone. She glanced sideways at Xiao Zhan, who immediately apologized, saying, "Madam, why do you say that? I am Yan Er's father; how could I not believe him?"

Admitting defeat should be done decisively; this is a conclusion Xiao Zhan has drawn from years of life experience.

"By the way, how are Ding'er and Li'er doing? Have they brought back two daughters-in-law for our family?" As a mother, Xiao Long was very concerned about her son's marriage.

Back then, Xiao Zhan had already married her, and Xiao Ding was pregnant.

"Hmm..." Xiao Zhan gently rubbed his forehead, feeling somewhat helpless about his wife's awakening of her matchmaker attributes.

However, he quickly replied, "That kid Xiao Ding seems to be showing some promise, and that little girl is quite good; both her talent and character are top-notch. She's just a bit too young..."

"Really?" Xiao Long's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed in surprise. Her eldest son had actually come to his senses. It was no easy feat!

As for Xiao Zhan's last sentence, it was omitted. "He's young, he'll grow up eventually!"

"Of course..." Xiao Zhan said with some pride, "Back then, that kid Xiao Ding even charged into the Snake-People Tribe for that girl. Fortunately, he remembered to hide his strength, otherwise I would have taught him a lesson."

"A man's anger is for the sake of Hong Yan," Xiao Zhan thought with satisfaction. "What's the point of cultivation if the men of the Xiao Clan can't even protect their own women?"

"Look at you!" Although Xiao Long was also very happy, she couldn't help but tease Xiao Zhan when she saw his slightly irritating expression.

"And what about Li'er?"

"Well..." Xiao Zhan hesitated for a moment, but finally... intimidated by Xiao Long's imposing presence, he confessed, "Li'er is still a little short."

Seeing the disappointment in Xiao Long's eyes, Xiao Zhan hurriedly explained, "Madam, isn't this normal? Li'er lives in the Black-Corner Region, a place that devours people without spitting out bones. How could he possibly have time for romance!"

"Hmph, if I had known it would turn out like this, I would never have let Li'er go. Now, of the three brothers, he's the only one left single!" Xiao Long said with dissatisfaction.

Black-Corner Region, Xiao Gate.

Xiao Li suddenly sneezed, which was a bit strange, given that he was a newcomer to the Dou Zong realm.

Just then, a person strode in from outside. After bowing, the person immediately reported, "Sect Master, students from Canaan Institute have come to visit."

"That girl isn't here, is she?" Xiao Li asked impatiently.

"Not here!" The subordinate knew perfectly well who the sect leader was asking about.

His expression was somewhat strange. His sect leader was exceptionally talented and had already reached the Dou Wang realm at a young age.

He was ruthless and decisive, and his hands were stained with the lives of countless fools.

Now he's actually scared of a female student from Canaan Institute. It's true that every creature has its nemesis!

"Phew, that's good!" Xiao Li breathed a sigh of relief, straightened his face, and said, "Then I, the sect leader, will go and receive them."

With that, he took the lead and walked out.

"I didn't expect Canaan Institute's enrollment to be so popular!" Xiao Yan said with some amazement, looking at the sea of people in front of him.

"That's absolutely right!" Xun Er followed half a step behind Xiao Yan, closely following him and acting as his commentator.

"Canaan Institute is highly regarded in many surrounding empires. It boasts a strong faculty and abundant resources."

For some destitute young people and those with limited resources, entering Canaan Institute is an excellent opportunity to change their fate and become powerful.

"I see!" Xiao Yan nodded thoughtfully. "But why didn't I notice that before?"

"Hehe~" Xun Er covered her mouth and chuckled, "Xiao Yan Gege doesn't like to show his face in public, how could he possibly know about such things?"

"Moreover, the Xiao Clan is no worse than Canaan Institute in any aspect, which is why Uncle Xiao did not tell Xiao Yan Gege."

"Hmph!" At this moment, Elder Yao's voice rang in Xiao Yan's mind, "You ungrateful brat, do you think everyone has such favorable conditions Xiao Clan!"

"Okay!" Xiao Yan touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed. He'd been a shut-in for too long!

"Let's hurry up and register now!" The next moment, Xiao Yan changed the subject and pulled Xun Er into the crowd.

The Canaan Institute testers stared blankly at the boy in front of them, "A... Seven Star Dou Zhe!"

Meanwhile, Ruo Lin, the mentor in charge of admissions for Wutan City, stared wide-eyed at a black-clad youth who looked utterly helpless.

"You are now Seven Star Dou Zhe, which exceeds your S-rank potential." However, Ruo Lin was quite knowledgeable and quickly recovered, saying with a flushed face.

Welcome to Canaan Institute!

Ruo Lin appeared unusually excited. Why? Because she had recruited such a genius with potential exceeding S-level into Canaan Institute, and the benefits she would receive would certainly be substantial.

"Mentor, I hope you don't get too excited, or you'll faint from happiness later." Faced with Ruo Lin's congratulations, Xiao Yan remained very calm and even offered a word of advice to his gentle mentor.

"Oh? How could that be?" Ruo Lin laughed nonchalantly. "Could there be another genius like you? If so, I might really faint!"

"You said it yourself!" Xiao Yan thought to himself.

"Xun Er, it's your turn!" Xiao Yan turned his gaze to a stunningly beautiful woman who had been completely unnoticed beside him and said gently.

"Alright, then please have this student report their data!" At this moment, Ruo Lin noticed the incredibly beautiful girl next to Xiao Yan.

Upon hearing this, Xun Er simply smiled slightly, took a few graceful steps, and said with her lips slightly parted, "Da Dou Shi, Six Star, sixteen years old!"

Everyone was petrified!

After a long while...

"Hey, am I dreaming?" At this moment, a Canaan Institute student shook the classmate next to him and said blankly.

"I don't know!" The person next to him wasn't much better off, equally bewildered.

"Excuse me, could you please repeat your level?" Ruo Lin paused, wanting to confirm her answer again.

"Xun Er is Six Star Da Dou Shi, Master, you heard me right!" Xiao Yan answered first.

"It's nothing, I just need some peace and quiet!" The usually gentle and beautiful woman now looked completely lost, muttering to herself, "What on earth have I been cultivating all these years?!"
