Battle Through the Heavens: I confronted Xiao Yan, and he begged me to be his elder brother.

Chapter 42 Yellow-Rank Instructor Hord

The convoy arrived in Heping Town.

Everyone got off the vehicle, lined up, and received a pill from a person dressed in light blue clothes with a badge on their chest that was entirely blue with a dagger stained with crimson blood in the center. They then entered Peace Town without any problems.

Only at this moment did many people finally relax, and some turned to look outside, having just heard a commotion at the back of the line.

A young girl asked her parents, "Father, Mother, why did you stop me from persuading that young man at noon?"

The girl's face was full of confusion and incomprehension. The handsome young man was obviously not a local of the Black Corner Region and did not even understand the principle of not eating food from strangers.

If I had stopped him then, I could have saved his life.

The burly man said in a deep voice, "Have you forgotten what I taught you? Never show any pity. Remember this!"

Having traveled in the Black Corner Region for many years, they already knew some of the secrets.

For example, these types of car teams target out-of-towners every year, usually individuals who are alone.

These people usually operate in teams, and if you rashly interfere with them, unless you are from a force like the Blood Sect, Black Skull Tomb, or Eight Doors, the vast majority of the time you will end up dead.

The girl remained silent for a long time, then choked out, "I hate this place!"

Her mother gently ruffled the girl's hair, her eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and a sigh, without offering any words of comfort.

While the harsh reality is hard to accept, it can help the daughter avoid making mistakes and increase her chances of survival in critical moments.

The group was then swallowed up by the crowd.

However, the caravan did not leave, keeping the horse station outside. They rarely chose to enter Peace Town because the atmosphere and rules there made them feel uncomfortable from the inside out.

"Why has the captain been gone for so long?" The group huddled together, looking back at the road they had come from.

Someone suggested, "Why don't we go look for them?"

The idea was quickly approved, and just as they selected a few people to set off, they heard the sound of horses' hooves.

When the group looked up and saw the figure on horseback, their pupils contracted sharply to the size of a pinhead, and their expressions changed drastically, becoming extremely ugly.

Hun Cang ignored them and went straight to the entrance. When he learned that he had to take a pill, he did not object and took it directly.

"Hello, I'd like to ask how I can contact someone inside Canaan Academy?" He didn't leave immediately.

"Hello, I am Hord, the squad leader of the second team of the Canaan Academy Enforcement Team, and also a Yellow Rank Instructor. Who are you looking for?" a middle-aged man asked.

"Hun Cang." He first politely introduced himself, then continued, "Xiao Yu, from Wutan City of the Jia Ma Empire."

"That might take a while. Senior Sister Xiao Yu went out for training the day before yesterday and won't be back for at least another month," a student said preemptively.

Upon hearing this, Hord looked at Hun Cang apologetically: "Is it urgent?"

"It's nothing urgent." Hun Cang smiled, then inquired about where he could register to join Canaan Academy before leaving.

He didn't mention the names of the other members of the Xiao family, as those people had only recently come to Canaan Academy and didn't seem to be able to offer him any help at the moment.

After Hun Cang left, the students behind Huo De stared at Hun Cang's back for a moment, and one of them said, "This guy is not simple."

"Anyone can see that!" Hord turned and glared at the other person. "Mind your own business. After you finish registering, hurry up and eat, then go on patrol. A lot of people have come to Peace Town recently, so let's not cause any trouble."

A person who can come to Peace Town must either be lucky or very strong! Hord pondered to himself. Given the chaos in the Black Corner Region, he didn't believe that Hun Cang had gotten here by sheer luck.

"He looks like he's not even twenty yet, and he's already a seven-star Dou Shi... Maybe the opportunity for me to advance to the Xuan-rank instructor lies with him," Hord murmured excitedly.

Having chosen a place to stay at random, Hun Cang's first night in Peace Town quietly passed.

The next day.

Just as Hun Cang stepped out the door, preparing to register, he saw a young man dressed in the robes of a Canaan Academy disciple walking towards him.

"Hello, I am a disciple of Professor Huo De. My name is Lin Gu," the young man introduced himself.

Hun Cang nodded slightly: "Is there something you need?"

"My advisor would like to invite you to lunch and discuss the entrance exam with you." Lin Gu looked at Hun Cang with curiosity. He had been studying under Huo De for some time and had seen many people come to the academy to register.

However, even for him, this was the first time he had ever seen Hord treat someone who wasn't even a formal student with such enthusiasm.

"Okay, let's go." Hun Cang agreed. If there was an easy way, it would naturally be the best choice.

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

Along the way, Lin Gu did not go to a restaurant, but instead led Hun Cang to a place of residence.

Huo De was sitting in the courtyard, meditating, when he heard a knock on the door. He opened his eyes and saw Lin Gu's figure behind him, walking quickly with a smile on his face.

"Please come in quickly." Huo De was very enthusiastic, which surprised Hun Cang, making him wonder if the other party had seen through his identity.

In fact, last night, Hod learned from several escort teams that the leader and the second and third leaders of one of the teams had died.

The team arrived just a little earlier than Hun Cang.

He later spent some time and effort to find out more, and confirmed that Hun Cang had been in that team.

In other words, this young man in front of me is not only incredibly handsome, but also very strong; he is at least capable of dealing with a Grand Master.

With a student like this, joining the academy and passing the inner academy's assessment would be a piece of cake. Hod seemed to see his own hope for advancement, so how could he not be enthusiastic?

Lunch was at Hod's house, cooked by his wife. Hun Cang wasn't picky about the food, and after a simple meal, they finally got down to business.

"Hun Cang, with your strength, passing the test will definitely not be a problem. However, I hope you can join the class I'm teaching." Huo De said with a serious expression.

Across from him, Hun Cang calmly picked up his teacup and drank it, a smile playing on his lips. "Captain Hord, you yourself said I passed the test without any problem, so why should I join your class?"

Anyway, I'm not really here to learn anything, so I don't care who my teacher is. The key is who offers enough benefits!

Hod was not surprised at all by Hun Cang's words. How could someone who could come to Peace Town alone be as harmless as he appeared on the surface?

He said in a deep voice, "You can make your requests. As long as I can meet them, I will do my best to provide them. To be honest, I have been stuck at the Yellow Rank Instructor for a long time. I hope to get promoted by your help."

Sincerity is always the ultimate weapon… Hun Cang’s gaze fell on the teacup he was fiddling with in his hand, and he asked, “Help me get into the inner courtyard as soon as possible. Can you do that?”

"Sure, there's a competition in two months, and I happen to have one spot. I can give it to you!" Hord said without hesitation.
