Starting from Douluo Continent, I've become a god through daily check-ins.

Chapter 369 Requesting Leave

"Oh?" Dai Mei raised an eyebrow subtly. Becoming a six-star Dou Zhe at fifteen or fourteen was nothing in those two's eyes? Instructor Ruolin shook her head, though extremely skeptical, she still asked with some curiosity, "Who is he (she)?"

Hearing Xiao Xun'er's words, Jing Chen's lips twitched. He knew who Xiao Xun'er was talking about. Sure enough, after Instructor Ruolin asked, Xiao Xun'er turned her pretty face around, her eyes sparkling with a smile, and gave Jing Chen a playful look.

Jing Chen's lips twitched violently. This girl couldn't possibly recognize him, could she? That's completely impossible.

Everyone's gaze followed Xiao Xun'er's, and they saw that the person she was looking at was actually the masked boy. However, everyone felt it was understandable; after all, although this boy was also a six-star Dou Zhe, he was a year younger than Xiao Xun'er.

Xiao Xun'er looked away and said with a playful smile, "That person isn't here, but that person should be no weaker than Mu Chen, right?"

Upon hearing this, Instructor Ruolin was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "Xun'er, no matter how talented the person you mentioned is, it doesn't seem to be as talented as Mu Chen, right? Mu Chen, like you, has potential values ​​exceeding S-level."

"Hey, that's right, junior Xun'er, you must believe that your talent is higher than his." From the corner, Rob laughed brightly.

In fact, it wasn't just Rob who had this idea; apart from a few individuals, almost no one in the tent believed it. Xun'er was a genius beyond the S-class limit, and in everyone's minds, the person Xun'er mentioned, no matter how strong, couldn't possibly be stronger than Xun'er.

Xun'er glanced indifferently at Rob, who was all smiles, but didn't bother to pay him any attention. The cold, unapproachable look of Xun'er made Rob, who was trying to get closer to her, feel a little awkward.

"Xun'er, could you tell me in detail about that person who is even more outstanding than you?" Instructor Ruolin asked.

Xun'er just smiled and said calmly, "Him? With the strength of a third-stage Dou Qi, he can crush a two-star Dou Zhe to death. His speed is so fast that even a two-star Dou Zhe can't catch up with his third-stage Dou Qi."

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, especially Xue Ni and Xiao Yu. What Xun'er said was exactly what Xiao Yu had told Xue Ni before. Could it be that they were talking about the same thing? But thinking about it carefully, it was true. This masked boy was indeed more outstanding than Xun'er. A six-star Dou Zhe at thirteen years old—quite impressive indeed.

"Alright, alright, let's just leave it at that. The person Xun'er mentioned isn't here either," Jing Chen said, stepping forward at this moment.

"Hehe, that's right. Let's end today's registration here. We'll be staying here for another seven days. Congratulations to all the new students who registered today. From now on, you will be members of Canaan Academy. I hope you can all get everything ready within seven days. After seven days, a Canaan Academy flying caravan will arrive directly in Utan City. At that time, we will be able to fly directly to the academy." Instructor Ruolin said softly with a smile, slowly rolling up the scroll in her hand.

Upon hearing this, everyone inside the tent beamed with joy. Ruolin, the ever-smiling instructor, stepped forward, and Jing Chen awkwardly said, "Instructor Ruolin, I have something to attend to..."

"Oh? Little genius Mu Chen, is there anything else you want to say to your mentor?" Mentor Ruolin raised her beautiful face and asked with a teasing smile.

The awkward way he addressed her made Jing Chen's lips twitch slightly. He scratched his head and asked, "Um... I think I might not be able to go to Canaan Academy with you. I have other important things to do. Instructor Ruolin, could I... ask for leave?"

"A request for leave?" Slightly taken aback, Instructor Ruolin frowned slightly and said softly, "According to the rules, freshmen do not have any other holidays except for certain specific holidays."

"But I really have something very important to do." Jing Chen shrugged, then added solemnly, "It's extremely important, to the point that I absolutely have to go. I wonder if Instructor Ruolin could make an exception?"

Xun'er, who was standing to the side, frowned slightly when she heard Jing Chen's words, as if she felt that something was familiar.

"Are you taking leave?" Xiao Yu was stunned when she heard Jing Chen's words. She stared at Jing Chen with some confusion, feeling quite bewildered.

Seeing Jing Chen's solemn expression, Instructor Ruolin frowned and pondered for a moment before nodding gently and saying softly, "Alright, how long of a vacation do you need? If it's not too long, I can try to get it for you with my authority."

Looking directly into Ruolin's gentle eyes, Jing Chen pondered for a moment before awkwardly saying, "Perhaps, around two years."

The tent fell silent instantly upon hearing this, as astonished gazes turned to the masked youth. About two years? For a moment, everyone seemed to think they'd misheard. Taking leave wasn't unheard of… but to take two years right after enrolling… this seemed to be the first time such a thing had happened since the founding of Canaan Academy.

"Yu'er, your friend... his appetite is too big, isn't it? A year? He's not deliberately trying not to go to Canaan Academy, is he?" Staring at Jing Chen in disbelief, Xue Ni asked Xiao Yu in astonishment.

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Xiao Yu was also somewhat confused about what Jing Chen was up to.

"...Are you kidding me?" Blinking her long eyelashes, Instructor Ruolin was both amused and exasperated by Jing Chen's words. A year's leave? That's practically equivalent to taking almost two-thirds of his total study time off.

Jing Chen shook his head helplessly: "I was discussing this with my mentor very seriously."

With a furrowed brow, Instructor Ruolin looked at Jing Chen's face. He was wearing a mask, so her expression couldn't be seen, but judging from his words, although somewhat frivolous, there was no hint of jest. Sighing, Instructor Ruolin shook her head and said softly, "This vacation is far too long. I can't make that decision for you. You should take it shorter. With your potential, you'll definitely be one of the best students in the academy. Why waste your time?"

Jing Chen gave a wry smile. "This is already the most conservative estimate."

Ruolin, the tutor, gently rubbed her forehead from shopping. It seemed her earlier prediction was correct. This little guy hadn't even officially become her student yet, but he had already brought such a headache. It seemed he really had the potential to become a troublesome student.

"The holiday is too long..." Ruolin sighed, shaking her head again. There was already a hint of reluctance in her words.

"If I can't get leave, then I'll have to withdraw. I'll try to participate in Canaan Academy's admissions next year if I have the chance," Jing Chen said with some disappointment, turning to leave.

"Withdraw?" Upon hearing Jing Chen's words, a commotion immediately arose inside the tent. Xiao Yu, standing to the side, was so anxious that she stamped her feet.

"Wait a minute." Seeing that Jing Chen was ready to leave, Instructor Ruolin's gentle face finally changed slightly. She couldn't bear to see her talented student leave, and said softly.

The soft voice, tinged with a hint of pleading, combined with Instructor Ruolin's gentle and charming face, possessed an irresistible allure that made it impossible for men to refuse. As a result, most of the male students in the tent nodded involuntarily upon hearing this, and when they came to their senses, their faces were flushed with embarrassment.
