Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 125 Ninth Dan and Six Stars

After Xiao Yu and the others entered the tent, they saw the three people sitting calmly at the table, sipping tea, and noticed the strange looks around them. They were speechless for a moment.

Is this guy here to test something or to visit?

Xiao Yan's eyes lit up, and he immediately ran over, pulled up a chair, sat down, and said with a smile, "Hehe, Brother Bai, quickly, give me a drink!"

Seeing the guy's impatient expression, Xiao Bai smiled, took out a cup, and poured him a cup of tea.

"Haha. Awesome!" Xiao Yan took a sip, slumped in his chair, and squinted his eyes in satisfaction. Thinking about how silly he had been to stand outside under the scorching sun just now!

"Yu'er, those are the people you brought, right?" Several women in the tent saw Xiao Yu and surrounded her, laughing and joking for a while before asking.

"He's one of my people!" Xiao Yu said with a hint of helplessness, then caught a glimpse of a man hurrying towards them.

Her expression changed slightly, her eyebrows furrowed briefly, then relaxed. She walked to Xiao Bai's side, tugged at his sleeve, and said in a slightly shy, pitiful voice, "Could you pour me a cup?"

The women who had been surrounding her looked at the shy Xiao Yu in disbelief, exchanging bewildered glances!

Xiao Bai had goosebumps all over his body. Shouldn't this woman be going to find that kid Xiao Yan?

Then he felt a pair of eyes glancing at him from both sides. He felt helpless, this was a completely unwarranted disaster!

"Xiao Yu, long time no see!" A young man dressed in gray and white clothes came to the table and greeted Xiao Yu. The man was quite handsome, but the smile on his face seemed a bit fake.

Xiao Yu turned her head, without letting go of Xiao Bai, glanced at the newcomer, and said indifferently, "Luo Bu, long time no see!"

Hearing this name, Xiao Bai was a little surprised. In the original story, this was a minor villain, and he couldn't remember his name at all.

That's fine, why did they have to call him this? I still remember the last one named Rob, who was struck by lightning and turned to ashes.

"Hehe." The young man nodded with a smile, glancing at Xiao Yu's hand, a hint of coldness and jealousy flashing in his eyes.

"Are these people here for testing?"

Seeing Xiao Yu nod, he then took out a fist-sized crystal ball from his pocket, waved it, and said, "The other testing crystals have all been taken to the testing channel at the front. Instructor Ruolin just gave me one, so let them try it out!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying to everyone, "This testing crystal is very simple. As long as you reach the eighth level of Dou Qi, it will light up, and that means you have passed the preliminary test!"

"Let me see!" Xiao Yan looked at the crystal ball in Luo Bu's hand and grabbed it.

Rob was surprised that the kid next to him would suddenly make a move. Looking at his empty hands, a hint of anger flashed across his face, but he didn't react immediately. He sneered inwardly, thinking that he would deal with this guy after the test!

Xiao Yan examined the crystal ball in his hand, and after inputting a wisp of Dou Qi, the crystal ball instantly lit up.

"Hey! It really is! Come on, everyone, come and touch it, let's go through the procedures!" He grinned as he held the crystal ball, looking like he was the one in charge of this test!

Everyone was speechless, but they all reached out and touched it.

After everyone had been tested, Xiao Yan handed the crystal ball to Luo Bu: "Hehe, thanks a lot, brother!"

Rob took the crystal ball, and upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, his lips twitched. He was furious, and with a forced smile, he pointed at the man and woman outside under the blazing sun, saying:

"Congratulations on passing the preliminary test. Now, please stay outside for half an hour!"

"Rob, what do you mean?" Xiao Yu's eyebrows shot up, and she shouted coldly.

"That's the rule!" Rob said slowly with a smile. "Since they were tested by me, they must obey my jurisdiction!"

"Bullshit! They clearly passed through my hands!" Xiao Yan jumped up and retorted.

The air fell silent instantly, and thinking about it, what this guy said actually made perfect sense.

Everyone found it somewhat amusing to see Rob, who had just been wielding his authority like a chicken feather, now standing there speechless with a livid face.

"Hey! Brother Rob, it seems you've run into a bit of a problem. Do you need any help?" Just then, a group of smiling men poured into the tent.

"These freshmen these days! They're getting more and more arrogant. They have little ability, but quite a temper!"

"That's right. The new students these days are getting more and more impetuous. Softening their tempers before admission will be beneficial for their life at the academy. This is entirely out of our love for them!"

"They need to learn the rules and respect their seniors, otherwise they'll blame us if they suffer losses later!"

The group of people approached, one after another, and surrounded Xiao Yan, staring at him menacingly.

Some of them had been bullied by upperclassmen when they were freshmen, and now it's finally their turn to bully others. But today, those freshmen were too well-behaved, so there was no sense of accomplishment in bullying them. Now that a troublemaker has finally arrived, they'd better have some fun with him!

Xiao Yan looked at the golden stars on their clothes and knew that this group of people were all Dou Zhe. Their cultivation levels were all lower than his, but there were many of them!

He frowned, peered through the gaps in the crowd at Xiao Bai, and saw him leisurely drinking tea and watching a play. He almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

That bastard Bai Ge! He has absolutely no loyalty! His brother is about to get beaten up, and he's still in the mood to drink tea. He might as well drink himself to death!

He gritted his teeth, slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, glanced around, and stared indifferently at Rob. If a fight really broke out, he would beat this culprit to death!

"I'd like to know, are these so-called rules the rules of Canaan Academy, or your rules?" Just as tensions were rising between the two sides, a leisurely voice rang out from inside the tent.

"Hey! Another one. Brother Rob, your freshmen test today are pretty tough!" A young man with two stars on his chest teased, glancing at the white-haired youth surrounded by several stunning women, a hint of jealousy flashing in his eyes: "Kid, remember this, no matter whose rules they are, you have to follow them, because you're weak, understand?"

"I understand, the strong rule!" Xiao Bai nodded as if he had been taught a lesson.

Seeing that he obeyed, the young man was very satisfied. However, just as he showed a hint of smugness, his face immediately froze, his hair stood on end, and he fell to the ground with a thud, convulsing and foaming at the mouth.

Everyone was startled by Ge Ci's appearance, but then they realized what was happening and hurriedly looked at Xiao Bai. They found him calm and even took a sip of tea, seemingly unsurprised by the scene.

A guess immediately formed in his mind, and he was secretly shocked!

Although it is unknown how this young man in black with white hair made his move, that is precisely why he seems even more mysterious and unpredictable!

"Gorge! Gorge!" Rob crouched down and gently shook the young man on the ground, finding him unconscious. He looked at Xiao Bai with a mixture of anger and fear: "You...you..."

"Why don't you go and keep him company?" Xiao Bai glanced at him and said softly.

As soon as he finished speaking, to everyone's horror, Rob collapsed to the ground, convulsing, just like Ge Ci had done earlier.

In an instant, the group of senior students surrounding Xiao Yan turned pale, and their gazes toward Xiao Bai were filled with fear!

Xiao Bai glanced around, and everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look him in the eye.

"You like telling others to sunbathe... right? Then everyone go stand in the sun. Remember, that's my rule!"

As soon as Xiao Bai finished speaking, a group of senior students hurriedly ran to the scorching sun and stood obediently, afraid that if they were a step too slow, they would follow in the footsteps of the two people in front of them.

"Little Yanzi, take these two out to get some sun too!"

"Alright!" Xiao Yan agreed excitedly, picked one up in each hand, and tossed them in front of the group of senior students, making their cheeks twitch.

The remaining Canaan Academy students in the tent were stunned. It was the first time they had ever seen a senior student from Canaan Academy treated like this, and so cruelly, that they were not even spared after the student had fainted!

The freshmen, standing under the blazing sun, looked at the group of senior students standing beside them with a look of satisfaction in their eyes. They were so arrogant when they bullied them before, but now they'll have to be just like them!

"Xiao Bai...you...you've gone a bit too far, haven't you?" Xiao Yu dared not hold onto Xiao Bai any longer, hurriedly letting go, swallowing hard, and stammering.

"Did we pass?" Xiao Bai chuckled noncommittally. "If we had been the weaker party today, the outcome would have been similar. They should be thankful they're students from Canaan Academy, otherwise... hehe!"

Upon hearing that final "heh," everyone shuddered and fell silent.

Most of them were first-year students from the outer academy, many of whom had never even seen blood. They were just showing off because their cultivation was slightly higher than that of the freshmen!

"Teacher, Brother Bai is getting more and more strange. What kind of technique was that just now?" Xiao Yan asked Yao Lao in his heart. His eyes were wide open just now, but he still couldn't see how the two people fell down.

"Look at where those two were standing!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan looked at the ground where the two had stood and saw two faint, charred footprints.

"Your brother Bai possesses a type of earth-attribute lightning that allows him to move freely underground, attacking others silently!" Yao Lao explained.

"You can do that?" Xiao Yan exclaimed, his mouth agape in surprise. "If it can't fly, wouldn't this thing be impossible to defend against?"

"Heh. If he couldn't fly, do you think someone with his strength would need to resort to a sneak attack?" Yao Lao rolled his eyes. Today, it was purely because that brat Xiao Bai was too lazy to move.

"Hehe. That's true!" Xiao Yan scratched the back of his head. He had just subconsciously wanted to know what to do when facing this thing.

Just as everything was quiet inside the tent...

Suddenly a gentle voice rang out from outside: "What are you all doing standing here?"

"Huh? What's wrong with Rob and Goci?"

"Quickly, carry them inside!"

A moment later, a woman in green hurriedly entered the tent, followed by several students who had gone out earlier. They carried in two unconscious people, their heads bowed, not daring to look at the white-haired figure in the tent.

After the group laid the two unconscious people down, the woman looked down to examine them closely. She frowned slightly, and then a faint, warm, light blue energy appeared on her fair hands, helping to repair the disordered fighting spirit and injuries in the two people's bodies.

Under the nurturing power of the woman in green, the two quickly regained consciousness. They looked around in confusion, and when their eyes swept over one of the figures, their pupils contracted, and their gazes became somewhat fearful and evasive.

"Are you alright?" the woman asked softly when she saw the two of them wake up.

"Thank you so much, Instructor Ruolin!" The two stood up and nodded gratefully.

"It's good that you're alright. Tell me what happened!" Instructor Ruolin was a little puzzled. The two of them looked like they had been struck by lightning, but they didn't seem to have suffered any serious injuries.

"Uh," the two of them subconsciously looked at Xiao Bai, remaining silent.

Following their gazes, Instructor Ruolin saw the composed white-haired youth and immediately knew it was related to him.

"Little one, can you tell me what happened?" Instructor Ruolin stepped forward, a gentle smile on her pretty face, and spoke softly with gentle eyes.

"They've suffered from heatstroke!" Xiao Bai said slowly, looking at the gentle and mature woman in front of him.

Upon hearing this, Ruolin felt an urge to hit him. This guy couldn't even come up with a better excuse. She gave him a reproachful look.

Seeing that gaze, Xiao Bai's eyebrows twitched. This woman truly embodied the phrase "woman is like water" perfectly!

"Teacher Ruolin, Yu'er has missed you so much!" At this moment, Xiao Yu rushed forward, hugged the woman's plump waist, and whispered in her ear.

"Hehe. Looks like I've struck gold this time!" Instructor Ruolin chuckled, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Xiao Bai.

He then released Xiao Yu, beckoned the new students outside to come in, and gracefully sat down in the chair at the head of the tent. He took out paper and pen from his storage ring and said:

"Congratulations, everyone, on passing the prediction and entering the gates of Canaan Academy. However, the academy needs to differentiate between potential values, so I need to know your exact strength!"

"Under twenty years old, Eighth Stage Dou Qi: F-rank; Ninth Stage Dou Qi: E-rank; One-Star Dou Zhe: D-rank; Two-Star Dou Zhe: C-rank, and so on, with the highest being S-rank, a five-star Dou Zhe!"

"Hehe... In the past ten years of Canaan Academy, I've only encountered one freshman with S-level potential! That little vixen is quite something in the academy!" After saying that, he glanced at Xiao Bai not far away.

Those who come to participate in the Canaan Academy's recruitment must be under twenty years old. Based on Yu'er's description just now, she was also a little confused about this guy's strength.

"Alright, let's start from the left. State your name, rank, and age!" she said softly, holding a brush in her delicate hand.

"Black Rock, 8th Dan in Fighting Qi, age nineteen!"

"Rank F!"

"Keli, eighth-dan in fighting spirit, age eighteen!"

"Rank F!"

After everyone had gone around taking their turn, it was the turn of the Xiao family members sitting at the table. All eyes in the tent immediately turned to the white-haired figure idly fiddling with the tea set.

Xiao Bai slowly raised his teacup, took a sip, and then, amidst the angry stares of the crowd, slowly spoke:

"Xiao Bai, ninth level of Dou Qi, age eighteen!"

The tent, which had been filled with whispers, suddenly fell silent.

In the corner, Rob and Goci's faces twitched rapidly. This is the eighteenth... ptooey... this is the ninth level of Dou Qi?

The surrounding crowd was at a loss for words. How could a ninth-level Dou Qi cultivator bring down a two-star Dou Qi cultivator and a four-star Dou Qi cultivator without lifting a finger?

Ruolin's excited face instantly darkened. She had been expecting to produce someone who surpassed S-rank, but instead she was told that he was only E-rank.

Nobody would believe that! She just checked those two's injuries!

"Next!" she whispered through gritted teeth. She couldn't possibly drag someone out for another check if she couldn't discern their cultivation level!

"Xiao Xun'er, ninth level of Dou Qi, age sixteen!"

"Little Fairy Doctor, ninth level of Dou Qi, age seventeen!"

"Xun'er, Xian'er, you..." Now it was Xiao Bai's turn to be dumbfounded. He didn't expect these two girls to pull this stunt on him.

"Hehe, the whole family is together, isn't that wonderful!" Xun'er whispered in his ear.

"." Xiao Bai.

"Brother Bai, how about I also sign up for the ninth dan?" Xiao Yan said with a crazy grin as he approached.

"Get lost!" Xiao Bai glanced at him. What, you want to be all neat and tidy too?

"Haha." Xiao Yan smiled broadly, not taking it to heart. He was just teasing Brother Bai. He would have to ask for leave later, and he dared not make up an excuse. Otherwise, he might have to pretend to be a ninth-dan to show off. It would be quite interesting to think about.

Then he said loudly:

"Xiao Yan, a six-star Dou Zhe, age seventeen!"
