A sixteen-year-old Dou Shi.
That was a myth come to life.
Even Xiao Yan's pupils shrank sharply. He had assumed his third brother was still at nine-star Fighter… not that he'd already broken through to Dou Shi!
Beside them, Xiao Yu's mind went blank.
Dou Shi? She couldn't even imagine reaching that level!
Her friends all covered their mouths, eyes wide with disbelief.
"You're… a Dou Shi?"
Instructor Ruolin's voice trembled slightly as she set aside the broken brush, her tone hoarse with shock.
"Mm. I just broke through recently," Xiao Jian replied seriously.
Under everyone's stunned gazes, Xiao Jian raised an eyebrow and let out a small sigh.
Then, with a thought, a faint black Dou Qi robe shimmered into existence over his body, exuding a biting cold aura.
The temperature in the tent plummeted instantly.
The Dou Qi Battle Robe...an unmistakable mark of a Dou Shi.
"Oh heavens… it's real. You're really a Dou Shi! You might be the most gifted freshman in Canaan Academy's entire history!"
Ruolin hastily replaced her pen, still dazed as she scribbled down his rank.
Xiao Jian only smiled lightly, dispersing the robe before stepping aside.
"Two beyond S-rank, and one S-rank freshman… this year's enrollment might be the best I've ever had!"
After a long pause, Ruolin finally laughed in pure amazement.
But Xun'er shook her head gently. "Instructor Ruolin, actually, Brother Xiao Yan's potential also surpasses S-rank. His talent is even greater than mine."
"Oh? What do you mean?"
Ruolin didn't doubt her....she was just curious.
The Xiao family really loved talking in half sentences.
"Hehe…"
Xun'er smiled and briefly described how Xiao Yan had risen from three-stage Dou Qi to Five-Star Fighter in just a year and a half.
At that, Xiao Yan's expression twitched. Quickly, he pointed toward Xiao Jian to divert attention.
The result?
Everyone's newly rebuilt worldview shattered all over again.
In just a year and a half...one brother had risen from three-stage Dou Qi to Five-Star Fighter, while the other had soared all the way to Dou Shi.
The Xiao brothers' talent truly defied the heavens.
Instructor Ruolin took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling with emotion before she exhaled slowly.
Her gaze softened as she looked at Xiao Jian and Xiao Yan.
After hearing Xun'er's words, I realize I've still underestimated you two little monsters," she said with a smile.
Alright, that will be all for today's registrations."
Instructor Ruolin gently rolled up the parchment in her hand, her tone soft yet clear. "We'll be staying here in Wutan City for another seven days.
All students who've registered today....congratulations. You are now officially members of Canaan Academy.
I hope each of you can get your affairs in order within these seven days.
After that, the academy's flying convoy will arrive here. Once it does, we'll depart directly for the academy."
At her words, the entire tent buzzed with joy. Smiles broke out everywhere.....after all, Canaan Academy was a dream destination for countless young cultivators.
Xiao Jian exchanged a glance with Xiao Yan beside him.
The two brothers nodded slightly before Xiao Jian stepped forward and said, "Instructor Ruolin, we have something to discuss."
"Oh?" Ruolin's eyes curved into a teasing smile.
"And what might two prodigies like you wish to discuss with your instructor?"
We'd like to request a leave of absence."
Xiao Jian's voice was polite but steady.
"Leave?"
Ruolin blinked in surprise, her brows knitting lightly.
According to academy rules, new students are not granted leave except during designated holidays."
"I have an important matter to attend to," Xiao Jian said, his expression serious.
"Me too," Xiao Yan followed.
If not for his pursuit of the Heavenly Flame, he honestly felt there was no need to join the academy at all.
At his words, Xun'er's delicate face dimmed slightly, her bright eyes flickering with faint disappointment.
Nearby, Xiao Yu also lowered her lashes, silently cursing Nalan Yanran and her entire clan in her heart.
Ruolin looked at the two brothers' solemn faces and hesitated for a long moment before sighing softly.
"Very well. If it isn't for too long, I might be able to make an exception and secure approval for you."
Xiao Jian exhaled helplessly. "It's not too long.....just about… a year."
The words fell like thunder.
The entire tent went silent. Everyone stared at the two Xiao brothers, stunned.
A year?
Did they mishear? It wasn't uncommon for students to request short leaves...but asking for an entire year before even setting foot in the academy? That was unprecedented.
Yu'er, are your two cousins insane?" Xue Ni gaped at the brothers, whispering to Xiao Yu.
"A year? Are they planning to skip Canaan Academy entirely?"
Xiao Yu could only give a bitter smile and shake her head.
She knew there was no stopping Xiao Jian once he'd made up his mind.
"You're not joking with me, are you?" Ruolin blinked in disbelief, caught between laughter and exasperation.
"I wish I were." Xiao Jian sighed, then shrugged innocently.
Instructor Ruolin, you wouldn't want me to withdraw from enrollment just because I couldn't get leave, would you?"
"You dare!"
