Chapter 100 Threat
Looking at Xiao Yan walking slowly, Ge Rong smiled in a low voice. He had seen many of these arrogant new students before, but most of them didn't end up well. During the recruitment process, it was almost an unspoken rule for Gan Nan Academy to suppress the arrogance of new students. After all, those who could reach the admission threshold were generally considered to have good talent. These people, who were used to being treated with respect and rarely ridiculed in their hometowns, would easily get into a fight when they entered Gan Nan Academy, where excellent students emerged one after another. Therefore, it was a very practical and important issue to make new students clearly understand their level during the recruitment process and grind away their initial arrogance.
And for this unwritten rule, even some instructors at Canaan Academy did not take a opposing attitude, so this rule has been passed down all the time.
His fists clenched, a faint aura of combat energy enveloped him. Goro chuckled in a low voice. When he first entered the Canaan Academy, he had relied on his own talent to resist, but at that time, the senior who was a two-star fighter had only used one punch to make him run out and bask in the scorching sun for half an hour. Having experienced this kind of unusual humiliation, every time Goro saw new students, he felt a thrill of tearing apart their sharp energy.
The young man who had been walking slowly finally stopped in front of Goro under the gaze of the surrounding crowd.
"Yu'er, why didn't you stop him? Going out to sunbathe is better than suffering a painful beating, right?" The women standing beside Xiao Yu, gazing at the gloating Ge La, couldn't help but speak up in reproach.
Standing beside Xiao Yu, Xue Ni recalled the evaluation of Xiao Yan that Xiao Yu had given earlier. Her bright eyes blinked, curiously staring at the young man who always maintained a calm smile. She really wanted to know if this young man named Xiao Yan truly possessed the terrifying talent that Xiao Yu had described, which was almost on par with a certain demon girl.
She moistened her lips. Xue Ni's hands were clasped together in front of her chest, a deep crease etched between her eyebrows, and a hint of expectation flashed in her eyes.
The flush on her face had not completely faded, looking extremely enticing. Xiao Yu stretched out her arms lazily, and the contours of her chest, which were not overly impressive, stood out proudly. She brushed away the strands of hair in front of her forehead with her jade-like hands, gazing at the boy's back. She said casually in a soft voice: "Who knows who will suffer in the end."
Looking at the two people inside the tent who were about to start fighting, the twenty or so freshmen outside under the scorching sun also cast curious glances over. Before choosing to sunbathe, they had not resisted without a fight, but these resistances were all suppressed by the seniors with much greater strength than them. Now that someone else wants to challenge the authority of these seniors, they are delighted to watch others make fools of themselves with a schadenfreude attitude.
"Alright, kid, ready?"
Ten shares of being stared at, the smile on his face grew thicker, and his narrow eyes swept over Xiao Yan, laughing.
"Let's begin." Xiao Yan raised his chin slightly. His calm tone caused everyone to pause in surprise.
"Haha, the kid's attitude isn't bad at all." Towards Xiao Yan's attitude, Ge Ruo was slightly taken aback, and then a surge of anger rose to his head. Could this be considered discrimination against himself?
He let out a soft sigh. Xiao Yan was too lazy to say anything more, his gaze lazily fixed on the other's face that was filled with some anger.
"Great!"
The other's calmness undoubtedly hurt Dugu's self-esteem, and he let out a cold laugh. His body suddenly leaned forward, his right fist clenched tightly. The fighting energy condensed above it, and then brought up a burst of energy, fiercely striking towards Xiao Yan's head.
The people around saw that Ge Ruo was dealing with a newcomer, and actually used such a huge amount of energy, couldn't help but frown.
He slightly raised his eyelids, gazing at the fist rapidly enlarging in his pupils. Xiao Yan faintly shook his head, and just as the fist was about to make contact, his palm suddenly shot forward, forcibly intercepting and pushing down Gao Cheng's incoming punch.
After the palm blocked the fist, it was almost motionless. The fist that contained immense energy seemed to have sent its power into the abyss, without bringing up any response.
"Speed, slow! Strength, small! Are you really a student of Canaan Academy?" Lifting his face, Xiao Yan shook his head and said softly.
The young man slightly curled his lips with a hint of mockery, causing the surrounding crowd to fall silent. A series of astonished gazes tightly stared at the spot where the fists and palms met, making it hard to imagine that a newcomer could so easily block an attack from a one-star warrior.
Originally still smiling, Luo Bu's face gradually darkened as he gazed at the scene before him. His eyes gleamed with a cold light, fixed intently on the youth who was smiling faintly. It seemed that this time, he had underestimated his opponent. If only he had known earlier, he should have let someone stronger take the stage.
"Damn it! Looking for death!"
Humiliated by a newborn in public, Gora's face turned red with rage, let out a loud roar, and his right foot aimed at Xiao Yan's abdomen, kicking him violently.
His face expressionless, Xiao Yan's left hand, as if swatting a mosquito, casually swung down and slapped heavily onto Ge Ruo's bare feet, instantly leaving a purplish bruise.
"Hiss."
The intense pain from his bare feet made De Ga take a deep breath, and the anger on his face became even more ferocious. He quickly retreated one step, broke free from Xiao Yan's grasp, and with a sudden burst of speed, he leaped into the air, spinning rapidly. A faint blue aura erupted from his right leg, taking the shape of a wind blade-like illusion that enveloped his leg. With a fierce cry, he chopped down at Xiao Yan's head.
"Shameless, to actually bring out 'Wind Light Slash'! This is a high-level fighting skill of the Huang rank, this guy is too shameless!" The crowd of girls scolded with angry faces as they stared at the blurry light blade on Goro's leg.
Looking at Ge Luo's movements, Xiao Yu's eyebrows also furrowed slightly, but soon relaxed. After all, even if Jie Lie used his Xuanjie fighting skills, wasn't he still defeated by Xiao Yan and had his arm broken? She didn't believe that with this guy's meager one-star strength, he could cause much harm to Xiao Yan.
He raised his face, and the slightly sharp gust of wind made Xiao Yan's face ache a bit. He slowly lifted his palm, aiming at the rapidly falling Goro.
"Get out!" His lips moved slightly, a faint voice, lightly spoken and out.
As the drinking voice fell, a fierce and invisible force burst out of Xiao Yan's palm and struck the chest of the falling Goro.
"Hmph!"
Chest hit by an inexplicable heavy blow, a cold and stern look on his face, instantly turned pale, and after a moment, his body suddenly flew backward, spewing out a mouthful of fresh blood.
"Hmm."
His body crashed heavily onto the scorching hot stone ground after flying out for over ten meters, and Gula's body twitched slightly as he stared at the young man in the distance who still had his palm stretched out. His chest felt stifled, his vision went black, and he finally fainted.
From being attacked by a strong Gorathian force to suddenly and inexplicably being knocked out, all within a span of just over ten seconds.
As they gazed at each other amidst the sparks and flames, the outcome of the battle was already decided. Inside and outside the tent, an eerie silence fell, as if by unspoken agreement.
Under the scorching sun, those new students stared blankly at Gora who had fainted not far away. After a moment, their fiery gazes suddenly shifted to the youth standing in the shadows. This was the first time they had seen a newcomer defeat an upperclassman, and what's more, this newcomer looked like he was even younger than them.
Several lovely girls in the crowd stared at him with fervent eyes, while a boy with a calm face had stars of admiration dancing in his eyes. If it weren't for the inappropriate timing, they might have let out two shrill screams to vent their adoration.
"As expected... what a terrifying talent." Xue Ni's eyes were fixed on Xiao Yan, and she shook her head in amazement, the latter having proven with facts, just like he had proved the truth of what Xiao Yu had said earlier.
"Jade... Jade, what's the level of this person from your family? Looking at him, he seems to have already become a Douluo?" The girl beside Xiao Yu stared blankly at the black-shirted youth and asked stutteringly.
Joke, being able to easily beat a one-star warrior into this state, their strength is simply stronger than most people here.
Xiao Yu's sweet smile, tightly staring at the young man in the arena. A flash of unknown color flashed through her eyes. After a moment, she learned from Xiao Yan's gesture and spread out her hands. Smiling and saying: "Let's join hands, even I couldn't beat him, do you think he is a fighter?"
"Tsk, tsk, such a young warrior, if placed in the Canaan Academy, would be considered one of the top talents. Hehe, Yu'er, your eyes are quite good, but isn't he your cousin? Why don't you let us have him?" The beautiful girl said with a playful smile.
"Get out, damn it!"
With a flushed face, she pushed him away. Suddenly, Xiao Yu muttered inexplicably: "I've already said it, and he's not much of a blood relative..."
Suddenly, a thought popped up in her mind, causing Xiao Yu's delicate ear tips to suddenly feel hot, and she quickly scolded herself a few times before hurriedly calming down her emotions, not daring to think wildly again.
Compared to the joyful laughter on Xiao Yu's side, Luo Bu's face grew increasingly gloomy, his eyes coldly glancing at Xiao Yan, his mouth twitching slightly.
"Don't have to go out now?" With a casual flick of his sleeve, Xiao Yan glanced at Luo Bu and smiled faintly.
"Heh heh, little brother is indeed hiding his true abilities. The gloom on his face gradually dissipated, and Luo Bu once again put on a brilliant smile, walking up to him and seemingly affectionately patted Xiao Yan's shoulder, saying in a low, cold tone: "Kid, don't be too arrogant, although you have some talent, but in the Ga Nan Academy, there are countless others more outstanding than you. With this temper of yours, once you enter the Ga Nan Academy, you'll definitely suffer losses!"
"Thanks for reminding me." Smiling and nodding, Xiao Yan chuckled and said: "However, I believe that at least you don't have the qualifications yet."
Xiao Yan is not a fool, and he is very clear about Luo Bu's hostility towards him. Therefore, he doesn't need to pretend to be stupid in front of him. After all, even if it really comes down to it, Xiao Yan won't be afraid to fight him. If he provokes him further... killing someone and destroying their corpse isn't something he hasn't done before.
Although Luo Bu's hostility towards him was due to some misunderstandings, Xiao Yan didn't have the leisure to explain it to him. To put it bluntly, Luo Bu wasn't qualified enough for that.
Moreover, although he often quarrels with Xiao Yu Ping, Xie Yan really doesn't want her to be harmed by this hypocritical guy.
Hearing Xiao Yan's blunt words, Luo Bu's radiant smile once again turned gloomy, his eyes coldly staring at Xiao Yan, his face slightly twitching, the ferocity in his pupils as if he wanted to chop Xiao Yan into a thousand pieces.
In the face of this meaningless gaze attack, Xiao Yan directly ignored it. The gentle smile on his clear and handsome face was much more likely to give people a good impression than the other person's forced and hypocritical smile.
"You little scamp, one day you'll end up at Canaan Academy, and I'll make sure to take good care of you!" Rob said with a cold smile, gritting his teeth.
He rubbed his face and said in a low voice, "I don't know about other places, but if you keep pretending to be tough, believe it or not, I can make sure you can't leave Wutang City?"
His pupils contracted slightly, and Luo Bu's mouth twitched as he stared at the young man in front of him, but a hint of calm indifference was detected from those dark eyes.
His body trembled slightly, staring at those pitch-black eyes that contained coldness, Luo Bu's heart had a faintly chilling feeling, this feeling was just like the last time he did a task and encountered a ferocious demon wolf alone.
He secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and the threatening words that had reached his lips were forcibly swallowed down.
"Alright." With a deep breath, Luo Bo seemed to want to drive away the chill that made him feel somewhat ashamed. He gritted his teeth and nodded at Xiao Yan, having already made up his mind that in the future, when he had the chance, he would definitely ask someone to properly cultivate this little brother's emotions.
Faintly gazing at Rob, Xiao Yan was considering whether to find an opportunity to let this guy stay in Wutang City forever, to eliminate some unnecessary troubles in the future. At that moment, a gentle and soft female voice that made Xiao Yan's heart suddenly soften, lightly laughed and echoed inside the tent.
"Hehe, this little guy's talent is quite impressive. It seems I've picked up a treasure this time."
