Chapter 25 Canaan Academy
The flying magical beast had traveled for several more days. Mu Zhan sat on the beast's back and looked down, watching the scenery below slowly change.
At first, we could see many towns and villages, but the further we flew, the fewer houses we saw below, until eventually it turned into dark forests and barren mountains.
There seemed to be an inexplicable malevolent aura in the air.
"We've arrived in the Black Corner Region," someone whispered beside me.
Black Corner Region is a notorious lawless area on the Dou Qi Continent. Here, there are no laws or rules; whoever has the bigger fist is right.
Murder and arson are commonplace; you might be stabbed in the back while walking down the street without even knowing why.
Mu Zhan glanced down and saw that there were many corpses lying on the ground, some of them already rotten beyond recognition, and no one cared.
To reach Canaan Academy, the Black Corner Region is the only way.
The academy was aware of the danger, so each recruitment team was assigned an elder at the Dou Wang level to accompany and protect them.
However, to be fair, not many people actually dare to mess with the people from Canaan Academy.
What kind of place is Canaan Academy? It's the number one academy on the continent. It's not just a fancy name; there are powerful experts at the Dou Zong level presiding over it.
Dou Zong is among the top people in the entire Northwest Continent. Who would dare to provoke him for no reason?
Previously, a few fools had robbed a team from Canaan Academy and killed several students.
Without saying a word, the academy sent out elders who wiped out the group's hideout, killing the ringleaders on the spot.
The body was brought back and hung on a tree at the entrance of the academy, where it has remained ever since. Exposed to the wind and sun, it has become a dried corpse, all to serve as a warning to those outside.
This is the source of Canaan College's confidence.
Looking down at the Black Corner Domain, Mu Zhan was thinking about something else entirely. One reason he brought Qing Lin to Canaan Academy was because of the academy's abundant resources and long history, which might allow him to find some cultivation methods specifically for Qing Lin's Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil.
Another reason is that the academy is protective of its own. Mu Zhan is unsure when the Heavenly Serpent Mansion will come looking for Qing Lin, so it's safer to stay at Canaan Academy. As long as Canaan Academy is there, they will have to think twice before taking action. Whether to stay or leave will depend on Qing Lin's decision.
After flying for another half a day, the view suddenly opened up ahead, and a huge complex of buildings came into view, built against the mountain, layer upon layer, very impressive.
"Students, we're almost at Canaan Academy, everyone get ready!" Instructor Ruolin's gentle voice rang out.
The people on the flying magical beast suddenly became lively, and they all hurriedly packed their things, their faces full of excitement.
"Finally here! My butt's practically worn out from sitting so long!"
Xue Ni jumped up from her seat and stretched vigorously. Her full breasts almost burst her clothes open, revealing her cleavage, which Mu Zhan saw clearly, but the little girl seemed completely unaware.
Mu Zhan glanced at it and couldn't help but think to himself, "This girl's clothes are really good quality; they haven't even burst."
"Mu Zhan, I've heard that quite a few people in the academy bully newcomers." Xue Ni moved closer to Mu Zhan, her eyes darting around, and said with a grin, "We're friends now, so you'll have to protect me."
"If you're willing to protect me, I'll give you Yu'er as your wife!"
"Sherry! What are you saying!"
Xiao Yu's face flushed red instantly, and she quickly grabbed Xue Ni's arm.
"Oh, I'm just telling the truth. It's so great to be with Mu Zhan. He's strong and handsome. You're not losing out, Yu'er." Xue Ni wasn't ashamed at all; instead, she spoke even louder.
Mu Zhan almost choked on his own saliva; this girl really dared to say anything.
Little Fairy Doctor and Qinglin couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle to themselves; those two were just too funny.
Amidst the commotion, the flying magical beast slowly descended and came to a steady stop at the entrance of Canaan Academy.
Ruolin led everyone off the monster spawn point and walked towards the academy, explaining the general layout of the academy, such as where the outer courtyard was, where the canteen was, and where the training grounds were. She explained it quite thoroughly.
After the introductions were finished, Ruolin told the other trainees to go to their dormitories to report for duty.
"Mu Zhan, the three of you come with me. The academy has prepared separate accommodations for geniuses like you. They are different from those of ordinary students. They are larger and the environment is much better."
Ruolin came to Mu Zhan and the others and led them to the exclusive residence for geniuses.
Upon hearing this, Xue Ni's eyes immediately lit up, and she shamelessly dragged Xiao Yu along to follow.
Ruolin didn't stop them. She led the group through several roads and arrived at a villa area. Rows of houses with small courtyards were lined up there, surrounded by flowers and plants, and the air was much fresher than outside.
Ruolin led them directly to the largest villa in the area, took out the key from her pocket and handed it to Mu Zhan: "This is the one. It's spacious enough and comfortable to live in."
Originally, Xiao Yixian and Qinglin could have each lived in a separate villa, but they still wanted to live with Mu Zhan. Since there were enough rooms in the villa, they chose the largest one, so that living together would make it easier to take care of each other.
Xue Ni shamelessly brought Xiao Yu to live with her, saying that she would give Xiao Yu to Mu Zhan as rent.
Mu Zhan didn't care. This girl was lively, and having her at home would make it more lively. Besides, he was a man, so he wouldn't be at a disadvantage. Let them stay if they wanted.
"Instructor Ruolin, when is the next Inner Academy selection? Could you please register the three of us?"
After settling everything in, Mu Zhan went to ask his mentor, Ruolin, about important matters.
Ruolin's eyes lit up when she heard this. Of course, she knew what Mu Zhan meant. With Mu Zhan's current strength, there was really nothing left for him to learn in the outer courtyard. It was only right for him to enter the inner courtyard as soon as possible.
The inner courtyard has the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower, which is an excellent place for cultivation. Going in a day earlier is a bonus.
"Indeed, with your current level, the outer academy won't be of much help to you. The inner academy selection for this year is in a month, and I'll register the three of you then."
She was already making plans in her mind. With Mu Zhan's strength, he was a sure thing to win first place in the selection competition. Just thinking about the rewards she, as the recommending mentor, could get made her incredibly excited.
"A month? Okay, then I'll have to trouble Instructor Ruolin then." Mu Zhan nodded, having made up his mind.
With exactly one month left, he planned to make a trip to the Black Corner Region. Cultivation was one thing, but real combat experience had to be accumulated through actual battles; simply practicing in the academy wasn't enough.
