While in Battle Through the Heavens, one can pre-appoint oneself as an emperor.

Utan is a small city, but it is peaceful.

Living in seclusion in this city, even hearing about the occasional conflict between the Xiao family and the Jialie family in the market was already big news.

Of course, none of this had anything to do with Chen Xiao.

For him, the months of waiting for the Canaan College admissions team were peaceful and fulfilling.

After using the Earth Core Tempering Milk in advance, Chen Xiao's daily routine consisted of only three things.

He cultivated his skills, mastered combat techniques, and spent time with Xun'er and Qinglin.

The Earth Core Tempering Emulsion is very effective. Although Chen Xiao cannot fully utilize its effects like an alchemist and has to dilute it with water for each bath, the benefits are still enormous.

Not only is his strength steadily improving, but even his relatively weak physical body has been greatly enhanced.

Comparing him to Warcraft would be an exaggeration, but compared to adults, Chen Xiao's physical strength is already quite good.

In addition, the amount of Earth Core Tempering Milk obtained in advance was quite substantial, amounting to four bottles.

One of the bottles was of significantly higher quality, extremely thick, and had a wonderfully fragrant aroma.

The remaining three bottles were of poorer quality, both in color and viscosity, they were far inferior.

According to Yao Chen, this is the difference between "real" and "fake" Earth Core Tempering Milk.

Even that "fake" Earth Core Tempering Milk would be extremely precious in the outside world.

There were four jade bottles, each containing approximately forty drops of Earth Core Tempering Milk. Chen Xiao estimated that if he took a medicinal bath once every three days, consuming two drops each time, it should be enough for him until he entered Canaan Academy.

At that time, once the follow-up is completed, other cultivation resources will be pre-allocated to connect the two, and the gap between them will be very short.

Now, let's talk about the combat skills.

As Xun'er said, as Chen Xiao's realm improved, he could clearly feel that he was becoming more and more adept at using the Xuanbing Dragon Soaring Technique. As a result, during this period, the Xiao family would occasionally hear the stirring dragon roars from the back mountain late at night.

Unfortunately, from beginning to end, only Xun'er and Qing Lin witnessed Chen Xiaoxuan's Ice Dragon Soaring.

To display this fighting technique to the world, one must wait for a destined person.

Aside from Xuanbing Longxiang, Chen Xiao has also practiced Hai Bodong's Frozen Mirror, Whirlwind Ice Squeezing and other fighting techniques, and has achieved some success in all of them.

Finally, there are Xun'er and Qinglin.

One of them was exceptionally intelligent and had a wonderful temperament, while the other was well-behaved, sensible, and pitiful.

As they spent more time together, the two women naturally grew closer, and they were often seen holding hands affectionately, which Chen Xiao truly envied.

As for Chen Xiao and Xun'er...

Chen Xiao did have a feeling that Xun'er seemed to be a little more clingy than before after returning this time.

The most noticeable change is that she has been approaching people much more frequently than before, and occasionally she has even made some rather intimate gestures.

for example.

During this time, Xiao Yan often went to the back mountain alone. Every time Chen Xiao and Xun'er went there, the girl would pull Chen Xiao to a distance, sit side by side, and chat about whatever she wanted until Xiao Yan left, and then continue practicing her fighting skills.

The repeated skin-to-skin contact gradually went beyond the scope of ordinary friends.

Clearly, after nearly seven years of knowing each other, this simple sketch of friendship has gradually become richer in color and more delicate in brushstrokes through daily interactions, evolving into a more magnificent picture.

...

Years pass by, and the sun and moon vie for dominance.

Five months have passed in a flash.

It wasn't until that evening, when Chen Xiao received a message from Little Fairy Doctor, that he realized the Canaan Academy recruitment team should be arriving in the next few days.

"Warcraft Mountains..."

Looking at the delicate handwriting on the letter and the rather simple map, Chen Xiao carefully recalled the outline of the Monster Mountain Range in his mind. He finally confirmed that the small valley where the other party was located was still in the outer area, and only then did he feel at ease.

Little Fairy Doctor, who is well-versed in pharmacology, would be at great risk if anyone mistook her for a weak woman who couldn't even kill a chicken.

Especially after mastering the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture, Little Fairy Doctor's ability to protect herself is not to be underestimated.

Some of the poisons in that poison manual would cause even a powerful expert at the Great Battle Master level to suffer a loss if they touched them.

Even though Chen Xiao had already advanced to the Dou Ling realm, he still kept some prepared poisons in his storage ring for backup.

A glimpse of the leopard through a tube reveals only a part of its brilliance!

Therefore, Little Fairy Doctor might find the monsters in the outer areas of the Monster Mountain Range troublesome due to her lack of experience, but there are very few that can truly threaten her.

Moreover, with Little Fairy Doctor's talent, once she starts cultivating, her speed will definitely be beyond the norm.

Perhaps soon she will be able to easily farm the outer monsters as experience packs.

Putting the matter aside for the time being, Chen Xiao felt the surging battle qi within his body.

"Then let's set a small goal: to reach the four-star Dou Ling level before entering Canaan Academy..."

At Canaan Academy, ordinary status is useless; they only focus on cultivation talent. The higher the talent and the stronger the strength, the more valued one is.

Having made up his mind, Chen Xiao put away Little Fairy Doctor's letter, took out a jade bottle from his storage ring, and carefully poured two drops of liquid, which looked like jade beads, into the wooden bucket.

When the Earth Core Tempering Emulsion is mixed with water, its color fades instantly, becoming almost invisible to the naked eye.

However, when Chen Xiao took off his clothes and sat inside, he could feel a stinging pain coming from all over his skin, as if he had applied chili water to a broken skin.

hiss~

Although Chen Xiao had experienced this dozens of times, he still couldn't help but let out a soft hiss at this moment.

Gradually adapting, Chen Xiao held his breath and focused his mind, forming cultivation hand seals with both hands, and soon entered a state of cultivation.

...

The time when Canaan Academy visits the Gama Empire each year has never been a secret.

They might be delayed by a day or two for various reasons, but they will never be absent.

As the date drew closer, the atmosphere in Wutan City and several surrounding cities grew increasingly lively, even more so than during festivals, as everyone eagerly anticipated being selected by the recruitment team as this year's recruitment location.

After all, those who are near the water get the moon first.

If their city is selected as a recruitment location, that would be a great thing. Not only would it bring a huge influx of people, but it would also make things much more convenient for them, saving them the trouble of traveling back and forth.

The young members of the Xiao family were also looking forward to it. Those who intended to sign up for the assessment were sweating profusely on the training ground every day, and their attitude towards cultivation was many times more serious than usual, trying to increase their chances by cramming at the last minute.

During their occasional breaks, they would gather together to speculate whether anyone in the family would pass the assessment this year.

"I think our Grand Elder's granddaughter, Cousin Xiao Yu, has a chance this year. I met her yesterday, and she seemed very confident, not like she was faking it."

"Speaking of this, we must mention Young Master Xiao Yan. He broke through to the Dou Zhe level half a year ago, which is far beyond the threshold of Canaan Academy."

"The Third Young Master seems to have become a different person in the past six months. He only knows how to cultivate diligently and is rarely seen."

"No, speaking of this, I'm even more suspicious that something might have happened to him. I ran into our clan leader a few days ago, and his face looked terrifying."

"When I ran into the eldest and second young masters before, they both had gloomy faces."

"Really? You can't just say things like that!"

The truth will eventually come out. Despite Xiao Yan's best efforts to avoid appearing in public, such unusual behavior still aroused speculation after so much time had passed.

It's foreseeable that the day when it's fully exposed won't be too far off.

In this atmosphere, another four days passed in the blink of an eye.

And the Canaan Academy admissions team, which countless people had been eagerly anticipating, finally arrived.

The assessment location was set in Wutan City!
