In Battle Through the Heavens, lying down makes you stronger.

Chapter 81 Enrolling in Canaan Academy

Xiao Yan quickly said to Xiao Mei, "There's a saying that a fortress is often breached from within. If this path doesn't work, then we'll try another!"

As he spoke, Xiao Yan pointed to Xiao Xun'er's back.

Following the direction Xiao Yan was pointing, Xiao Mei's eyes lit up.

He excitedly refused Xiao Yan's offer.

"Thank you, Cousin Xiao Yan. If... if I..."

Xiao Yan waved his hand.

"No need for words of thanks, we're all family!"

"Yes!" Xiao Mei nodded heavily.

Xiao Yan hurriedly said, "Let's catch up quickly, or we won't be able to keep up!"

The group followed Xiao Yu around the huge plaza, eventually stopping at a spot on the western side behind the plaza.

The fully armed army surrounded the place in layers.

The weapon, gleaming with a cold light, reflected a blinding glint in the sunlight.

Xiao Yu gave Xiao Ran and the others some instructions, and then stepped forward alone and took out a green plaque from her bosom.

After talking with a man who looked like an officer for a while, he waved to Xiao Ran and the others, signaling them to come over.

The officer's sinister gaze slowly swept over Xiao Ran and the others.

After a while, he waved his hand.

"Release them."

Perhaps it was the imposing presence of these soldiers who had survived the battlefield that made them so compelling.

Everyone huddled close to Xiao Ran.

Because everyone noticed that Xiao Ran seemed to completely ignore these pressures.

He held Xiao Xun'er's hand, and the two walked slowly, seemingly oblivious to the soldiers with weapons around them.

The group walked to the center of the square.

A woman in red quickly ran and jumped to Xiao Yu's side, and touched her slender waist.

"Hey! Xiao Yu, let me feel if you've gained weight?"

Xiao Yu slapped the woman's hand and said to her,

"Don't go too far, they are all my people."

Then he introduced the woman to everyone.

"This is my good friend from Canaan Academy, named Xue Ni. She is a four-star Dou Zhe."

He pointed at Xiao Ran.

"This is Xiao Ran, an honorary elder of our family, the one I told you about before."

"Wow, I didn't expect someone so young to be a family elder."

The woman named Xue Ni's eyes lit up.

"So you're the Xiao family's sleeping companion that Yu'er mentioned... Waaah~"

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Yu covered his mouth.

Xiao Yu blushed and glanced cautiously at Xiao Ran. Seeing that he didn't seem to care, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Little did she know, Xue Ni's gaze fell on Xiao Xun'er, who was holding Xiao Ran's hand.

Xiao Yu was immediately speechless.

He hurriedly grabbed her and said,

"This is Xun'er, isn't she beautiful?"

"But you're not allowed to make any moves on her; she won't be interested in you."

"That's Xiao Mei, and this is my younger brother, Xiao Ning."

The last finger pointed at Xiao Yan.

"Oh, right, he's the Xiao Yan I told you about before."

"Hello!" Xue Ni looked clearly uninterested.

The group then went to the main tent and conducted some tests.

When it was Xiao Ran's turn to be tested, a guy named Rob saw Xiao Yu standing next to Xiao Ran and began to make sarcastic remarks.

Xiao Ran ignored the children's birth charts and directly summoned Xiao Yan, who then knocked Luo Bu to the ground.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at Xiao Yan, never expecting this guy to be so terrifying.

Even Rob, who has been famous in the academy for a long time, can be defeated.

Seeing that Xiao Xun'er beside him seemed indignant, she was about to take action when Xiao Ran stopped her.

Xiao Ran smiled and pinched Xiao Xun'er's pretty cheek.

"You guys go ahead and test it, don't worry about me."

Unbeknownst to everyone, in the shadows of the tent,

A woman in green exuded a mature charm honed by time, far surpassing the youthful innocence of girls like Xiao Yu.

Upon seeing this, he slowly walked out.

"Hello everyone, I am the tutor for this recruitment. You can call me Tutor Ruolin."

"Alright, our academy will categorize potential values ​​based on age level. Please state your current level."

"Linton, 8th Dan in Battle Qi, age 19."

"Rank F"

"Black Rock, ninth dan in fighting spirit, age 20."

"Level E"

When it was Xiao Yan's turn, he raised his head and said,

"Fighter, one star, age 16."

"S-rank talent!"

Ruolin exclaimed in surprise.

Xiao Yan shrugged and gave Xiao Ran a smug look.

Xiao Ran ignored him and instead focused his gaze on Xiao Xun'er.

"Xiao Xun'er, a six-star Dou Zhe, age, well, sixteen, I guess."

Ruolin's hand, which was about to take notes, suddenly stopped, tearing the paper.

"A sixteen-year-old six-star Dou Zhe?!"

"My God!"

This potential seems to have exceeded the S-level threshold. This talent is even more formidable than that enchantress in the academy.

"I never expected to meet a freshman with potential exceeding S-rank!"

Professor Ruolin said happily.

"Among the new students at Canaan Academy this time, Xun'er is probably the most outstanding one!"

Ruolin's surprised expression slowly faded, and a strange light shone in her eyes.

However, Xiao Xun'er smiled slightly and shook her head.

Her eyes curved into shallow crescents, making her look extremely cute.

She linked her arm with Xiao Ran's and laughed.

"Compared to Brother Xiao Ran, Xun'er is nothing."

Instructor Ruolin hurriedly stepped forward to ask Xiao Ran.

"Excuse me, what grade are you in? What's your age?"

"Forehead……"

Xiao Ran glanced at Xiao Xun'er helplessly.

He didn't want to be in the limelight.

However, looking into Xiao Xun'er's beautiful eyes, he couldn't bear to blame her.

He then said with a smile,

"Student Xiao Ran, age 16, rank... well, that's not something I can disclose."

Rob, who had already been beaten up, immediately scoffed disdainfully.

"Could it be that he's only at the first stage of the Battle Qi realm? Otherwise, what's there to be ashamed of?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xun'er, Xiao Mei, Xiao Yu, Xiao Yan, and other members of the Xiao family all glared angrily at Luo Bu.

Regardless of Xiao Ran's actual strength, he has already been formally recognized by the family and has become an honorary elder of the Xiao family.

Insulting Xiao Ran is insulting the Xiao family, and it is insulting them.

Xiao Yan pointed at Luo Bu and said fiercely,

"Hey kid, say what you just said again! I'll beat you to a pulp!"

Faced with so many people staring at him like wolves and tigers, even Xiao Yan couldn't defeat them before, let alone so many people.

He immediately shrank back, shrinking his neck, and stammered,

"Instructor Ruolin... is still here. You, you mustn't do anything rash."

"And I wasn't wrong, if you weren't hiding your true abilities, why would you be so secretive about them?"

Ruolin frowned and looked at Rob.

"Rob, if you continue to treat new students with this attitude, I will consider disqualifying you from following me again in the future."

Rob immediately shrank his neck, lowered his head, and remained silent.

Then, Instructor Ruolin smiled gently at Xiao Ran.

"Excuse me, could you please tell me your current skill level?"
