The guard obviously knew Xiao Ling. When he heard that he was looking for the clan leader, he said, "The clan leader is now discussing matters with several elders in the conference room. I'll take you in." He nodded to the guards around him, and then walked inside.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling hurriedly followed, thinking that since everyone was there, it would be best to explain everything all at once.

Not long after, they arrived in front of a spacious hall. The guard first exchanged a few words with the guard at the door, and then said to Xiao Ling: "You have a special status in the family. The clan leader said before that if you have anything to do, you can go in directly. You can go in through the side door."

After hearing this, Xiao Ling couldn't help but sigh that in the Xiao family, talented people can really go anywhere. He nodded, opened the side door, and walked into the conference hall.

As soon as he stepped into the hall, he saw the great elder pointing at Xiao Zhan's nose and cursing at him.

"Xiao Zhan, how did you teach your son? Xiao Yan actually went to peek at my granddaughter taking a bath. If my Xiao Yu hadn't discovered it early, I don't know how many other girls in the family would have been peeped at by him. As the young patriarch of the family, he is so shameless. He has brought shame to the family!"

Seeing this, Xiao Ling muttered to himself, "It turns out that Xiao Yan's peeping has spread, and they are arguing here."

Xiao Ling's gaze shifted to Xiao Zhan, only to see that he looked calm and composed, not taking the Great Elder's accusations to heart at all. He even leisurely picked up a cup of fragrant tea and sipped it.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Ling couldn't help but twitch his lips, thinking to himself: "Is this what it means to be fearless when you are gifted? I wonder if Xiao Yan will still be so calm after he becomes a loser."

When several elders saw someone coming in, they all turned their eyes over. When they found out it was Xiao Ling, the indifference on their faces instantly disappeared, and they were all replaced with kind smiles.

Seeing that everyone's attention was shifted to him, Xiao Ling stepped forward quickly and bowed respectfully: "Patriarch, three elders."

"No need to be polite, sit down and talk. What brings you here? I heard that you have just broken through to the Fighter level. Could it be that you have encountered something in your cultivation that requires guidance?" The Great Elder asked first.

Several other elders also looked at Xiao Ling with inquiring eyes. The family's first genius broke through to the Fighter level and went to the Fighting Qi Pavilion, so they were naturally very concerned.

After Xiao Ling sat down, he first exchanged a few words with several elders. However, after all, there was a big age gap. He was only in his twenties in his two lives. After a few awkward words, Xiao Ling said, "I have broken through to the Fighter level. With the talent I have shown, I will definitely be able to receive key training at Canaan Academy. When the recruitment team arrives in Wutan City soon, I will go to sign up."

The elders looked at each other, not knowing how to start. They knew that Xiao Ling was such a genius, and staying in the Xiao family would indeed bury his talent, but they did not expect that he would leave the Xiao family so early. If Xiao Ling was bewitched by people from other forces, he might not come back, but they could not stop this.

It was Xiao Zhan who spoke first: "You are still young, so you might as well practice at home for a few more years, and then it won't be too late to go out and explore the world."

After listening to them, Xiao Ling guessed their concerns, so he said, "I am still young, so I should endure hardships as soon as possible. I also want to improve my cultivation as soon as possible and become the top powerhouse on the continent. Don't worry, I will never forget the kindness of the Xiao family to me."

After hearing these words, the expressions of several elders eased a lot. As long as the genius in the clan is not abducted and can still remember the clan, it is enough.

At this time, Xiao Zhan said, "The Yunlan Sect will hold a disciple recruitment meeting in a month. You can go to participate in the selection ceremony. With your talent, you will definitely be trained as a key figure in the sect. Maybe the Yunyun Sect Master will even accept you as his personal disciple."

After hearing this, Xiao Ling couldn't help but sweat dripping down his forehead, and he secretly complained in his heart: "Xiao Zhan, ah Xiao Zhan, you really have ulterior motives, are you hoping that I will die early? Why, do you also want to learn that 'jiejiejie'?" Of course, Xiao Ling also knew that Yunlan Sect was not far from the Xiao family and could take care of the family. However, Canaan College was located in the Black Horn Region, and it was extremely difficult to contact the Xiao family.

However, he naturally couldn't say that there was something "weird" in the Yunlan Sect, at least not at the moment, so he could only explain it this way:

"The teachers at Canaan College are very strong. I think being a student there is no worse than being a disciple at Yunlan Sect. Maybe with my talent, a Dou Zong master will accept me as his disciple."

Xiao Ling smiled and made a joke that was neither too big nor too small.

Several elders looked at each other and sighed:

"Then it's up to you to decide. Just don't forget about the Xiao family."

The elder took out a black card, handed it to Xiao Ling, and said with a smile: "This is your pocket money. There are 50,000 gold coins in it. Don't treat yourself badly when you go out."

Xiao Ling was touched, took the gold card, and nodded slightly. Although 50,000 gold coins were not a lot, it was by no means a small amount for the Xiao family.

"Thank you, clan leader, and thank you to the elders. Xiao Ling will take his leave now." Xiao Ling bowed and left the meeting room.

On the way back to the house, thinking back to the past four years, Xiao Ling couldn't help but sigh: "I, a stranger in a foreign land, actually have concerns. Regardless of these, I will help the Soul Clan if I can, and I will never let the Xiao family be like in the original novel with only a few young people left."

Returning to the house, lying on the bed and letting his mind go, Xiao Ling felt a surge of fatigue and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Chapter 11 Canaan College Enrollment

January passed in the blink of an eye.

In addition to practicing every day, Xiao Ling would go shopping with Xiao Xun'er.

In the morning, just as the sky was getting light, Xiao Ling opened his eyes, got up, put on his clothes, and left the yard.

I got up early on purpose because I was afraid that there would be too many people registering and it would be too troublesome to queue up.

After leaving the Xiao family and arriving at the selection site, Xiao Ling found that there were indeed not many people. He breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the tent in the square.

There were not many people at this time, and Xiao Ling did not enter the human wall of soldiers as in the original book, but came to the registration location in the center of the square one by one.

In front of him was a tall large tent. In front of the tent, there were several young men who were testing the cultivation level of the applicants. The registration requirement was to be 18 years old and at the eighth level of fighting spirit, which was a simple task for Xiao Ling.

Although there are many people gathered outside, this is not the first time Canaan College has recruited students. The requirements have long been spread, but there are not many people who are confident that they can be selected. Most people are just here to watch the fun.

"Too old, next one."

Not long after, Xiao Ling also walked to the testing crystal ball.

The test was conducted by a female student, who saw a handsome little boy walking in, who was estimated to be no more than ten years old. Because of the good first impression, she did not look down on him, but smiled brightly and handed over the test crystal ball in her hand.

"Little brother, this test crystal is very simple. Inject your fighting spirit into it. As long as your strength reaches the eighth level of fighting spirit, it will glow, and then you will pass."

Xiao Ling did not hesitate and directly grabbed the crystal ball in his hand, injected fighting spirit into it, and when the crystal ball emitted a brilliant light, he returned it to the female student.

The female student was a little surprised that it actually lit up. After all, Xiao Ling was too young.

"I passed, sis."

Xiao Ling's voice brought her back from her trance.

"Oh, I passed, but you are such a little genius!"

The female student pointed inside and said, "Just go inside."

Nodding, Xiao Ling walked into the tent. There were only some newcomers who had passed the test, not many people, and there was no sunbathing like in the original book. This made Xiao Ling feel relieved, but he didn't want to waste too much time on this kind of thing.

"Haha, the little guy has quite a talent. It seems I have found a treasure today."

The sudden female voice attracted Xiao Ling's attention and he looked inside.

In the shadow of the tent, a woman in green was standing there with a smile on her face. Her beautiful face had a gentle smile on it, and her eyes were moving as she stared at Xiao Ling with burning gaze.

"This should be the mentor Ruolin in the original book. What a beauty." Xiao Ling couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Xiao Ling stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Hello, teacher. My name is Xiao Ling."

Ruolin did not act like a teacher and said, "My name is Ruolin, just call me Teacher Ruolin. How old are you this year, little brother? You should be less than ten years old. It's the first time I've seen someone so young pass the test."

"I'm eight years old and a one-star fighter." As soon as Xiao Ling said this, the people around him who were talking turned their eyes to him. Some were surprised, some were envious, and some were jealous.

When Ruolin heard this, she was overjoyed. The pen in her hand was clenched so tightly that it made a "creaking" sound. She stared at the child in front of her with shining eyes. She didn't expect that she had actually picked up a treasure.

After calming down, Ruolin smiled and said, "Although your strength has not yet reached S-level, because you are still young, I will give you S-level treatment. This is the highest treatment I can give you. Is that okay?"

Shaking his head, Xiao Ling didn't expect such a good thing to happen. "Thank you, Teacher Ruolin. I have no objection."

"Okay, then let's gather here in three days. Now you can go home and say goodbye to your family." Waving her hand, Ruolin turned and left. She wanted to report to the school's top management. This kind of talent was rare even in the inner courtyard.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling did not stay any longer. He turned around and left the tent and walked towards the Xiao family.

The moon is bright and the sky is full of stars

Xiao Family, Back Mountain

Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Ling sat on the hillside, looking at the stars in the night sky together.

The two of them leaned against each other shoulder to shoulder, the evening breeze blew, their black hair blended together, and they were difficult to separate.

The boy turned his head and looked. The moonlight fell on the girl's delicate face, making her look like a moon elf, elegant and mysterious.

Looking up at the stars in the night sky, Xiao Ling only felt an incomparable tranquility.

"Brother Xiao Ling, I will go to Canaan College to accompany you next year. What do you think?" Xiao Xun'er said softly.

"Okay, then we'll practice together and then go into the inner courtyard together." Xiao Ling said with a smile, holding Xun'er's jade hand.

Xiao Xun'er nodded, leaned her head on Xiao Ling's shoulder, listened to the boy's steady breathing, and fell asleep unknowingly.

Hiding in the dark, Ling Ying couldn't help but shook his head and sighed in his heart: "It seems that the young lady's heart has really been stolen by this boy." In fact, he didn't have any bad feelings towards Xiao Ling, but he felt that the gap between their identities was too big and it was difficult for them to be together. "Well, let it be"

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Last night, Canaan College announced its admissions rankings, which made Xiao Ling's reputation widely known. Many people lamented that such a talented person could emerge from such a small Xiao family.

During these three days, Xiao Ling did not go to practice. He accompanied Xiao Xun'er to play everywhere every day. Their footprints were left in every corner of Wutan City.

Standing in front of Xiao Xun'er's courtyard, looking at the person nestled in his arms, Xiao Ling shook his head helplessly, "Xun'er, if you don't let me go, we'll be late."

Looking up and rolling her eyes at Xiao Ling, Xiao Xun'er took out a porcelain bottle from her ring, which contained a ball of red flame. She raised her hand and handed it to Xiao Ling, saying softly, "This is a beast fire from a sixth-level Fiery Wolf. Didn't you say you were going to become an alchemist? This is a gift for you." After that, she pried open Xiao Ling's hand and put it into her palm.

Looking at the beast fire in his hand, Xiao Ling was ecstatic. The Burning Technique was just lacking the stage of flame evolution. The flame was ready. As long as he prepared the elixir, he could advance to the next level of the technique.

Putting away the beast fire in his hand and touching Xiao Xun'er's head, Xiao Ling said: "Xun'er, you are really my lucky star."

"As long as you like it, it's no big deal. Remember to think of me when you go to Canaan College." Seeing Xiao Ling's happy expression, Xiao Xun'er also smiled.

"Of course, I miss Xun'er every day, very much." Xiao Ling stroked the girl's cheek, kissed her forehead lightly, then turned and left.

Facing the setting sun, the boy's figure became farther and farther away, until he disappeared from the girl's sight.

Chapter 12: Journey to Canaan

On the square of Wutan City, all the students and admissions personnel who met the admissions requirements gathered together.

After the number of people was confirmed, Instructor Ruolin walked in front of everyone, crossed her arms, and said in a stern tone: "First of all, congratulations again on standing out and having the qualifications to go to Canaan College to practice with us. But don't be too proud and complacent. There are countless people with extraordinary talents in Canaan College. You don't have the qualifications to be proud at the moment. Remember, work hard to improve your strength. This is what you should do at your age."

"Okay, there's no point in saying more. There are some things you will understand when you get to Canaan College. Just follow me first!" Ruolin said, waved her hand, and turned to lead the way.

Everyone walked through the streets and followed Ruolin and a group of senior students to a lawn outside the city.

"I will summon the Canaan Academy's flying mounts later. Don't panic, the flying mounts raised in the academy will not attack people at will." After Ruolin finished speaking, she waved her hand and took out a jade flute. When she blew it, the ethereal and melodious sound spread far away.

After waiting for a while, some small black dots appeared in the sky. As they got closer, I could gradually see that they were the shapes of birds.

Soon, several huge flying monsters came roaring out of the forest and landed in front of everyone.

The wind was howling, and the huge airflow kicked up a lot of dust. Everyone had no choice but to put up their hands to cover their faces.

After these flying beasts landed, their huge bird faces stared at everyone. This scene frightened the freshmen around and made them tremble. They all stepped back. Even Xiao Ling broke out in a cold sweat. Although he had expected it before, he still felt very strange to see such a large creature for the first time. He shook his head and said, "This is a fantasy world. It cannot be compared with the animals in the previous world."

After using my soul power to sense a little, I found that although these monsters looked very huge, their aura should be around the third level. The monsters specially used as mounts are indeed huge in size.

"It's worthy of being the Canaan Academy. Its profound foundation is evident from this. They directly use third-order flying monsters for enrollment. Even if I break through to the Dou Wang level and can fly, I will catch one and keep it by my side. It must be very impressive to raise a Loli Taixu Ancient Dragon Rider." Thinking of this, he wanted to enter the inner courtyard of Canaan Academy even earlier.

The senior students standing by looked at the freshmen, all of whom looked frightened, and smiled like experienced people.

These freshmen now look exactly the same as they did back then.

"Don't be afraid, these flying monsters are very gentle. We will ride them back to the academy." Ruolin turned her head to look at the performance of the freshmen.

Seeing that Xiao Ling did not show any fear and nodded, he knew that although he was younger than the others, he was braver. He couldn't help but feel more satisfied.

As soon as she finished speaking, Ruolin activated her internal fighting spirit and jumped onto the back of the flying monster. She spoke again, "Come on up, we need to set off."

After hearing this, everyone nodded. First, the seniors jumped onto the back of the giant bird, using their fighting spirit to stabilize their bodies, looking very cool. Then Xiao Ling also jumped onto a nearby bird and landed steadily. Finally, the rest of the freshmen jumped up very carefully and tremblingly.

After everyone came up, the flying monster spread its wide wings, leaped up, flapped its wings, and flew into the sky.

As the flying monster flew higher and higher, the city of Wutan below him gradually became smaller, and the wind whistled past his ears. Xiao Ling closed his eyes, experiencing the feeling of being in the air, and a wave of emotions rose in his heart. "It won't be long before I can soar in the sky with my own abilities." Although Dou Wang is a realm that many people cannot reach in their entire lives, Xiao Ling believes that he can reach it. Dou Wang is just a starting point.

Returning to the room arranged by the instructor and sitting on the bed, Xiao Ling cleared his mind and called out the system panel.

"System, open my human panel."
