Chapter 48: The Academy's Dull Days

  "Xing Meng's brother should have made great progress this time, right?" Xun'er said with a smile, her heart inexplicably wary of Xiao Xingmeng, and the Jinjie Grand Competition was just in time to see his true strength.

  "Heh heh, it's just the Seven Stars of Dou Shi, I'm just here to participate. I didn't think I'd get any quota anyway." Xiao Xing Meng hurriedly pretended to be foolish.

  "However, it's Xiao Yan that kid, he skipped the academy training for two years, could his cultivation speed outside be faster than those in the academy who have been evaluated by all of you seniors? " Yu Lin said helplessly: "To successfully obtain a spot, at least one needs to have the strength of a great Dou Shi, and this is still under the premise that he's lucky and hasn't foreseen some abnormal changes."

  "Yolyn, don't underestimate Xiao Yan's brother, he was able to last twenty rounds with you back then relying solely on his Dou Zhe strength." Xun Er said with a curved smile.

  "I hope so, this time's promotion tournament is not as simple as last time. Nearly three hundred people in the entire college are eligible to compete, and it's really difficult to make a name for oneself without some real skills." Yu Lin said with a sneer, still holding a grudge against that student who dared to stand her up.

  "Then let's make an exception this time, and have the mentor write down Brother Xiao Yan's name as well." Xun'er pulled on Master Ruolin's arm, smiling coyly.

  "Good grief, it's been two years and you're still going on about that guy. There are plenty of boys at Canaan Academy who are better than him, like... Ah, speaking of which, Professor Yorin suddenly glanced sideways at the smiling Bai Shan standing beside her."

  Xiang'er smiled faintly, but it was as if she hadn't heard.

  "I knew you wouldn't take it seriously, and Instructor Yu Lin also put away that joke. She said in a low voice, 'Let's go, the early class is about to start. You two follow me back. I think, Xun Er, you don't want to be bothered by Bai Shan here either, do you?'"

  Smiling and nodding, Xun'er pulled Yu Lin's instructor, the two of them whispering to each other about something, while Xiao Xing Meng slowly followed behind, the three of them walking slowly towards the other side of the small path.

  A young man in white, had been quietly standing by the side of the path, with a smile on his face as he gazed at the three people gradually walking away. After a while, the smile on his face finally faded slightly. His slender fingers casually pinched a withered yellow leaf that had fallen from the top of the tree and said faintly: "Xiao Yan? Is that the new student who took a two-year leave of absence? Well, it's good, just in time for me to see what qualifications you have to make Xun Er sister so attached to you. Such an excellent girl, is not something that an ordinary person has the qualifications to possess."

  As he finished speaking, Bai Shan slowly turned around, and the fingers behind his back suddenly lightly plucked at a leaf. In an instant, a yellow shadow burst out and shot into a distant boulder like lightning, and it seemed that the fragile leaf had actually pierced nearly half of its length into the hard boulder.

  Bai Shan, who was showing off, didn't notice that Xiao Xing Meng had turned around to take a look at him with interest. In Dou Po, his name was Shan Yun E, so Xiao Xing Meng had changed it back, not expecting to run into someone with the same talent as soon as he arrived at the academy. This guy's fate is sealed - he's destined for tragedy, competing with Xiao Yan for women.

  ……

  Xiao Yixian and A Zi have disguised themselves as mother and daughter in the Black Horn Domain, where they bought a house. With their abilities, they can take care of themselves even in the Black Horn Domain. Both are focusing on cultivating their own skills and combat techniques, so there is no need for me to guide them for now.

  For the first time in Canaan Academy, Xiao Xing Meng spent the most boring days. Although this is the number one academy on the mainland, the teacher's strength is far inferior to his own and Yao Lao's. No wonder Xiao Yan didn't come here. After spending a few days playing "Hidden Dragon" in the academy, copying all the internal martial arts, he was completely defeated by boredom. Currently, he is hanging upside down from a tree with his feet, watching Xiao Mei practice the martial arts he taught her.

  It's good that Xiao Mei is here, usually can chat with her to relieve boredom. After Xiao Yu and Xiao Ning arrived here, they were suppressed by the pressure here, becoming Spartan, it's really not fun to be with them.

  For his childhood sweetheart, Xiao Mei, Xiao Xing Meng was very generous. Considering that the progress of the Three-Threaded Green Spirit Pill was too fast, it might arouse suspicion from Xun Er. So Xiao Xing Meng only let Xiao Mei take one Second-Threaded Green Spirit Pill, which had been roasted with four kinds of strange fire and specially modified by Xiao Xing Meng's secret method, eliminating any risk of backlash. He also taught her the upgraded version of the Mystic Sword Qi she had learned before - the true high-level Mystic Sword Qi of the Mystic Stage, as well as the low-level Mystic Sword Qi of the Earth Stage, causing Xiao Mei to make rapid progress.

  Xun'er indeed became the center of attention wherever she went, and countless people fell for her over the past two years. Fortunately, because of this, Xiao Mei didn't stand out as much, and walking with Xiao Mei was much easier compared to being with the Xiao family.

  She has developed a mature and charming demeanor, her face so beautiful that it eclipses the beauty of flowers. Her white robe perfectly accentuates her slender figure. At this moment, she is focused intently on her cultivation practice.

  Xiao Xing Meng brought her fighting skills. She was so focused that she forgot to wipe away the fragrant sweat slowly dripping down her forehead, if Xun Er was a fairy being chased by everyone, then Xiao Mei was an enchanting seductress like a demon.

  But with Xun Er in the same place, it's destined to be overshadowed by the halo and become a supporting role like weeds. Hard work doesn't necessarily lead to success, which is applicable at all times.

  But it's also because they didn't have the opportunity, teachers like Xiao Xing Meng and Yao Lao can make ordinary people stand at the top of the mainland.

  Unfortunately, Xun Er's figure is far inferior to Xiao Mei's, who has almost fully developed. Logically speaking, Xiao Mei's appearance and temperament should have made her just as popular in the Xiao family. Nowadays, Xiao Mei is also one of the top-quality girls among her peers, but people on this Dou Qi continent are really blind! They only chase after the number one goddess and ignore those ranked second. I heard from Xiao Mei that not a single boy has come to pursue her, they deserve to be single for life.

  Xiao Xing Meng didn't know that because of his and Xiao Yan's leave, many things about them had been dug up. As a result, even the fact that Xiao Xing Meng had visited brothels in Wutang City was exposed. Looking at Xiao Mei's coquettishness, which was not like that of an ordinary girl, countless people understood! Others had already slept with her, what else were they pursuing?

  Xiao Xing Meng knew that this was definitely a miscarriage of justice. At that time, Xiao Mei was still quite LOLI and she absolutely didn't do it herself.

  "Xing Meng, you're really amazing! You've actually found another combat technique that's similar to the mysterious sword aura from before. It looks like I'll be able to master it before the tournament." Xiao Mei's voice was filled with excitement. She had originally been confident about entering the top 100, but now she had an even more powerful combat technique. Her strength had also been boosted by the Two-Striped Green Spirit Pill to two stars, reaching a total of eight stars! Although her hopes for the top five were still not great, she could now compete for the top twenty.

  "Hmm, you're a Wind attribute, focusing on agility and sharpness in your attacks. Well, the young master of Yunlai Sect is also of the same attribute. She specializes in swordsmanship, not only because Yunlai Sect is a major sword school, but also because the sharpness of the wind complements the sword energy perfectly. However, with me teaching you these techniques, you won't need to learn swordsmanship anymore." Xiao Xing Meng said proudly, hanging upside down. This fighting technique was actually at the Heavenly level, and even a few disciples from the Soul Clan had learned it. Even though this was a weakened version, it was still stronger than other techniques of the same level.

  "By the way, Big Brother, you're hanging upside down, are you practicing some kind of strange martial art?" Xiao Mei asked as she saw him hanging there for half a day.

  "In the past, many masters could see all sorts of secret skills when they looked at things from a different perspective. There was even one who could see into the future. I'm just idle anyway, so I'll give it a try."

  "Is it effective?"

  "Nothing works except for brain hemorrhage."

  “………, Brother Xiao, you'd better come down and cultivate properly first. I know you're very capable in battle, but your current cultivation is one star lower than mine. In this selection, not only do the individuals have rich combat experience, but there are also some powerful Dou Shi present. If you can't get selected, it'll be a pity.” Xiao Mei lightly touched her forehead, thinking that her brother was being overly confident.
