Today's Maitre auction was undoubtedly the most popular one in half a year, with people surging into the spacious hall, the noisy din making Xiao Yan and others who had just entered feel dizzy, their ears buzzing like a swarm of flies, making them feel annoyed and disoriented.

  Looking at the crowded hall, Xiao Zhan furrowed his brow and shook his head helplessly, so he had to let the auction staff lead them in through the VIP passage, only then did they enter the auction safely.

  Inside the auction house, although there were also many people, compared to outside, it was much quieter. Xiao Zhan swept a glance around the scene, then led Xiao Yan and others to sit down in a position close to the auction stage with ease.

  Sitting in a slightly rear position, Xiao Yan looked around boredly, lazily leaning against the back of his chair, waiting for the auction to begin.

  "Sister, in about half a year, it should be the time for Canaan Academy's recruitment this year, right?" Xiao Ning's slightly eager inquiry suddenly reached Xiao Yan's ears as he lazily raised his legs and narrowed his eyes, but the special name made him raise an eyebrow.

  Gan Nan Academy, a renowned Qi-practicing institution on the continent of Dou Qi, has an astonishingly powerful strength that far surpasses ordinary people's imagination. It is said that to become a mentor in Gan Nan Academy, one needs to have at least the strength of a Great Dou Master. If compared to the bottom line of strength, even Yunlan Sect would be weaker by several degrees.

  In the Dou Qi continent, colleges and sects are somewhat different. When you join a sect, you will be subject to some restrictions from the sect, and your future actions will also represent the sect behind you. Colleges are different, after graduation, there will be no mandatory relationship between the two!

  But that being said, people are not emotionless creatures. In a simple ivory tower like the academy, students can easily develop feelings for the academy. After graduation, these subtle emotions will make many people willing to help the academy within their capabilities.

  One person's help may not be much, but if it's thousands or tens of thousands of people, the deterrent force generated by this network is quite frightening... and this is also the purpose of all academies.

  Entering the academy is the best shortcut to obtain Gongfa and Douji. In a prestigious school like Canaan Academy, if you perform exceptionally well or are favored by some instructors, you might even receive advanced Gongfa and Douji. With these two things, you will be much closer to becoming a strong practitioner on your path.

  Gongfa, Douji, Dan Yao, the three most attractive things on the Dou Qi continent. The Canaan Academy occupies two of them, so in the hearts of countless people on the continent, as long as they step into the Canaan Academy, it can be said that their future is basically worry-free. Every graduate from the Canaan Academy will be competed for by various forces as a talent, and their future can be described as bright.

  As a result, every year countless young people in the Gamma Empire are eager to get into Canaan College by any means.

  However, Canaan Academy is indeed a gilded good place, but its admission requirements are also extremely strict: before the age of 18, you must reach the eighth rank of Dou Zhi!

  Strict admission standards also reject all those who are not talented enough, so the people who can enter Canaan Academy are all young people with good talent.

  ……

  Upon hearing Xiao Ning's inquiry, Xiao Yu nodded slightly and glanced at Xiao Yan with a somewhat smug tone: "Don't worry, you've already met the admission requirements. Moreover, the person in charge of recruiting for this region of Wutang City just so happens to be my mentor - she's a five-star Grandmaster! With me speaking up for you, there shouldn't be any issues."

  "Heh heh, that's great." Upon hearing this, Xiao Ning's face suddenly lit up with a few points of joy, and she excitedly nodded her head.

  Listening to the conversation between the two people beside him, Xiao Yan slightly curled his lips. If it were in the past, he could only enter the Qin Nan Academy, hoping to obtain higher-level skills and fighting techniques. However, now that he had obtained Medicine Master as a mysterious teacher, the Qin Nan Academy was no longer attractive to him.

  "Brother Xiao Yan, aren't you planning to take the entrance exam for Canaan Academy in half a year?" Xun Er asked softly, looking at Xiao Yan's unenthusiastic appearance beside her.

  Listening to Xun Er's question, Xiao Yu, who was standing beside her, also raised an eyebrow and cast her gaze over. She had made up her mind that if this little rascal wanted to go to Canaan Academy as well, she would definitely have her mentor give him a hard time in private.

  Xiao Yan rubbed his nose lazily and said, "Not interested. What's there to learn from a group of kids? If I want to practice martial arts, I'd rather go treasure hunting by jumping off cliffs, it's more exciting that way."

  "Hmph, you're quite arrogant, do you think the Academy would beg for you to join? You have some talent and are already conceited. Talent like yours is not rare in Canaan Academy. It's better if you don't go in. If you do, with your annoying personality, you'll probably just bring trouble upon yourself." Hearing Xie Yun degrade the academy that she took pride in, Xiao Yuqin's face turned cold and she rebuked him sternly.

  Xiao Yan raised his eyes and swept a glance at Xiao Yu, who was filled with righteous indignation. He curled his lip in disdain, but didn't bother to respond. With less than two years left until his agreement with Nalan Yanran, his sole goal now was to surpass that woman.

  Time is running out, but the gap between them is still not small. Xiao Yan would never think that in Canaan Academy, there is anyone who can surpass Nalan Yirou within the remaining two years.

  What's the point of going to that broken academy if you can't even achieve it? Can they still teach themselves alchemy like Yao Lao did, but not become as skilled as him?

  Xiao Yan shook his head and stopped arguing with her about the academy, his gaze shifted to a not-too-distant place beside him, discovering that people from two other major families had also entered the auction.

  After a crowd of people, Xiao Yan suddenly noticed a somewhat cold gaze, slightly turned his head, and found that it was actually Galiot who had some conflict in the market that day.

  At this time, the young master of the Jia family was staring at him with ill intentions, occasionally glancing over at Xun Er's slender and elegant figure, making Xiao Yan look over, and he smiled in a low voice, his mouth slightly moving.

  Gazing faintly at Galeno's mouth opening and closing, Xiao Yan could barely make out his meaning: "The little waste of the Xiao family, has your coming-of-age ceremony finally ended? Don't let Young Master run into you in Wutian City again, or else... heh heh!"

  Squinting his eyes at Galleo's triumphant laughter, Xiao Yan smiled slightly, with a fierce glint flashing in his lowered eyes.
