Chapter 1167 - Chapter 1164 Arriving at Canaan Academy_1

Canaan Academy.

Ever since the incident at Stone Desert City, Xiao Yan had arrived at Canaan Academy with a heart full of sorrow.

Even though he knew that there might be Strange Fire at that desert location, he couldn't possibly compete with Xu Ran, so the self-aware him simply left.

He had now diligently cultivated to the point where his "Cultivation Level" had broken through to that of a Great Fighter.

Two-Star Dou Shi!

That was Xiao Yan's current "Cultivation Level!"

Although due to Xu Ran's influence, he lost some opportunities, but by a twist of fate, on his way to Canaan Academy, he accidentally entered several ancient relics and even obtained a Strange Fire.

"This is Strange Fire—you actually subdued Strange Fire?" All the teachers of the academic affairs office at Canaan Academy stood up, staring at the Strange Fire in Xiao Yan's hand.

They never expected such a young man to be able to subdue a strand of Strange Fire.

"Ranked twenty-first, Yin-Yang Twin Flames," a teacher from Canaan Academy said in shock.

Even they did not possess a strand of Strange Fire, yet such a young fellow had gotten hold of such a treasure.

"Your 'Cultivation Level' is now that of a Two-Star Dou Shi as well, what a monster!"

Another teacher exclaimed in admiration.

Xiao Yan's Strange Fire and his "Cultivation Level" left no room for criticism.

"Such a talent is worth making an exception for at our Canaan Academy."

"Indeed, rules are dead but people are alive."

Listening to the extensive praise from the many teachers at Canaan Academy, Xiao Yan's lips curled upwards, quite proud.

He had now realized a principle, as long as he stayed with Xu Ran, he was incredibly unlucky. Not to mention stumbling upon any Secret Realms or treasures, even if he did, that damn Xu Ran snatched them all away.

But now it was different, he wasn't following the same path as Xu Ran, his luck was exploding along the way.

If he stepped on a pile of dog feces on the road, there could very well be precious natural treasures beside it.

This was the Son of Destiny!

"I, Xiao Yan, truly am the Son of Destiny. As a transmigrator, my fate must be exceptional. Now that I have a Strange Fire, I will not be inferior to Xu Ran in the future. I, Xiao Yan, am destined to be the ruler of this world!"

"Xu Ran! All the humiliation you've brought upon me, I will wash it clean. I will avenge my brothers and the Xiao Family! Father may have been deceived by you, but one day, he will understand who truly has the Xiao Family's interests at heart and who is harming the Xiao Family." Xiao Yan's eyes were ice-cold and merciless, his heart aching at the thought of Xu Ran.

The death of his two brothers had plunged him into despair.

And Xu Ran had even pinned the cause of his brothers' deaths on him.

Originally, he intended to return to the Xiao Family first, but before he could reach Wu Tan City, he heard all sorts of rumors.

Those people actually said that he killed his elder and second brothers!

How could he be so heartlessly insane?

Moreover, what benefit would there be for him to kill his own kin?

However, upon arriving at the Xiao Family, he heard that nearly all the members of the Xiao Family were saying the same thing. The clan members regarded him as the scourge of the family, a miscreant capable of all evils. And his father, Xiao Zhan, was even more stricken with grief, bedridden with illness.

Therefore, he did not go back to the Xiao Family.

"I wonder if father's health has improved, the death of my brothers must have struck him hard. Sadly, I have a home I can't return to now. If father saw me, he might indeed be angered to the point of serious harm."

Holding the admissions certificate, Xiao Yan's eyes brimmed with tears.

The most sorrowful thing in life is none other than this.

If he had indeed committed such heinous acts, his own conscience might have found some relief.

But Xiao Yan had always been a kind soul, reluctant to even step on an ant; how could he possibly kill his own brother? Yet, his father and his clan chose to believe Xu Ran over him, and that was indeed the most tragic part.

Even though Xiao Yan might be the most outstanding Son of Destiny under the heavens, in this regard, he was a complete loser.

"Enough of these thoughts. What's done is done. One day, I'll make Xu Ran pay for all this. For now, the most important thing is Xun Er!"

"Xun Er loves me so much, she must have me in her heart. Xu Ran has won Xun Er's heart through despicable means, ruining the relationship between me and Xun Er, which is truly loathsome. I must expose Xu Ran's true face, and let Xun Er see who really loves her, and who is the most despicable one!" Xiao Yan said, and set about looking for where Xun Er lived.

He had to explain everything to Xun Er.

Back then, it was because he fell into Xu Ran's trap that he became like that, and lost his temper with her.

If he knew that Xun Er had been blackmailed by Xu Ran just for his sake, he would only feel heartache and compassion for Xun Er; how could he be angry?

...

"So, it's you, Xu Ran!"

Shortly after Xiao Yan left, Xu Ran also appeared in that room.

In the room, many teachers from Canaan Academy looked up at Xu Ran.

The name Xu Ran was all too familiar to them.

Xu Ran had caused a stir in the Jia Ma Empire, and naturally, word had reached Canaan Academy. If Xu Ran's moves had been subtler, Canaan Academy might have remained unaware. But in the Jia Ma Empire, and in fact across the entire Northwest Continent, who didn't recognize Xu Ran?

So even in Canaan Academy, those teachers knew that Xu Ran was a top-tier Alchemist, at least a Seventh Rank Alchemist!

This news thrilled the teachers of Canaan Academy.

To recruit a new student and end up with a Seventh Grade Alchemist directly was insane!

This was utterly monstrous!

Of course, only these teachers had heard of Xu Ran's prowess through the grapevine, and the rest of Canaan Academy had no idea about Xu Ran's strength.

"Is there a problem?" Xu Ran asked with a smile.

"No problem at all. Since you're here, you can join Ruo Lin teacher's class for study immediately. Absolutely no issues here," the teacher said, stammering as if afraid of displeasing Xu Ran.

How could they possibly treat Xu Ran as a new student?

This was a Seventh Grade Alchemist!

A Seventh Grade Alchemist held a status higher than that of a Douzong!

At Canaan Academy, there wasn't even one Seventh Grade Alchemist at present!

Who would dare offend a Seventh Grade Alchemist? Even offending a Douzong was unthinkable, let alone a powerful Alchemist whom they might need to ask for favors from in the future.

"Um, Xu Ran, are you really a Seventh Grade Alchemist?" the teacher asked, returning Xu Ran's materials and pressing further.

"I suppose so. I don't have much trouble making Seventh-Grade Elixirs," said Xu Ran with a smile, then left the room, leaving behind a group of dumbfounded teachers.

"Looks like our Canaan Academy is going to become lively!"

"In the past, we had some geniuses at Canaan Academy, but now that a monster has arrived, if those guys don't rein in their arrogance, I'm afraid they might get beaten to death by Xu Ran."

"Even if Xu Ran really did beat them to death, we couldn't say anything about it. Who would dare punish a Seventh Grade Alchemist?"

"We can only hope those guys don't cause trouble, or they won't even know how they died."
