Chapter 23 Canaan Academy Admissions
Mu Zhan has been quite busy lately, focusing on cultivating and improving his alchemy skills.
With the help of the Yin-Yang Creation Technique's devouring function, his cultivation level reached the three-star Dou Ling level, and his alchemy skills also developed steadily, reaching the peak of the fourth rank. However, without a good teacher, he was unable to advance any further.
"Counting the days, Canaan Academy is recruiting students tomorrow. Let's go see how Little Fairy Doctor and the others are doing with their cultivation."
Mu Zhan got up from the bed, opened the door to the room, and just then ran into Qing Lin and Little Fairy Doctor walking towards him.
"Young Master! You've emerged from seclusion!"
During her time at the Mu family, Qinglin's personality improved significantly. She lost her initial timidity and cautiousness and became much more lively and cheerful.
"Yes, Canaan Academy is about to start recruiting students, so it's time to get out and get some fresh air. I'll also take this opportunity to check if you two have been slacking off in your training."
Seeing Qinglin run up to him, Mu Zhan couldn't help but pat her little head.
"Qinglin cultivates very diligently, young master. Look, Qinglin has already become a Dou Shi."
Qinglin enjoyed Mu Zhan's caresses, and then displayed her battle qi level, which clearly showed that she had reached the level of a battle master.
"As expected of the Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupil, her cultivation speed is indeed extraordinary. Qing Lin is truly amazing."
Mu Zhan was also surprised by Qing Lin. Qing Lin hadn't been practicing cultivation for very long, yet he had already broken through to the level of a Dou Shi. He didn't hold back his praise at all.
"I've also broken through to the Great Dou Master level."
Little Fairy Doctor also took a turn around, and the aura emanating from her body had already entered the ranks of Great Dou Masters. Her Dou Qi was profound and without any superficiality.
"Sure, Little Fairy Doctor."
Mu Zhan gave Little Fairy Doctor a thumbs up.
"Let's go out and have some good food to relax."
Mu Zhan led the two women away from the Mu family and arrived at the most bustling downtown area of the capital, where they bought all sorts of delicious food and fun activities, indulging in a big spending spree.
"You stinky wood warrior! You're here to play too!"
Mu Zhan heard a familiar female voice, turned around and saw that it was Nalan Yanran, accompanied by Ya Fei, whom he had met not long ago.
The two walked towards him, arm in arm.
"So it was Little Tadpole and Miss Yafei."
Mu Zhan greeted the two of them.
"Young Master Mu Zhan, it's been a long time."
Ya Fei was also surprised. She had come out to play with Nalan Yanran today, but she never expected to run into Mu Zhan by such a coincidence.
"Hey! What's with this tagalong?"
Nalan Yanran was a little annoyed. Why did Mu Zhan always manage to make her angry?
"You always follow me around; if you're not a tagalong, who is?"
If it weren't for the fact that Mu Zhan once encountered Nalan Yanran, who was following him, he would have truly believed it was fate.
"I...I didn't!"
Nalan Yanran's disguise was exposed, her face gradually turned red, and she began to speak incoherently.
"I didn't~"
Mu Zhan pouted and made a face that resembled the yin-yang expression of Nalan Yanran, then turned and walked forward.
"You're really mean, you stinky wood warrior."
Nalan Yanran was taken aback by Mu Zhan's expression and quickly caught up with him, playfully wrestling with him.
"The relationship between Mu Zhan and Nalan Yanran..."
Watching the two bickering, Ya Fei couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.
With the addition of Nalan Yanran and Ya Fei, the group of tourists became five people.
The girls introduced themselves to each other.
"What! You're going to Canaan Academy?!"
During their conversation, Nalan Yanran learned that Mu Zhan would soon be participating in the Canaan Academy's admissions process, and she went to the Canaan Academy with Xiao Yixian and Qinglin.
"Can't we stay here? Come to Yunlan Sect."
Nalan Yanran was somewhat reluctant to part with Mu Zhan, as she didn't know how long it would be before he returned.
"Yunlan Sect is not suitable for me; Canaan Academy is more suitable."
"Besides, I won't be gone for long. I'll come back once I've become stronger."
Mu Zhan also told Nalan Yanran about his future plans.
"All right…"
Nalan Yanran felt somewhat dejected, and the thought of Mu Zhan not being there made her feel empty inside.
"By the way, I heard you have a fiancé?"
Mu Zhan felt that given their relationship, he still needed to give Nalan Yanran a heads-up.
"Fiancé? I don't know!"
Nalan Yanran had never known that she had a fiancé.
"You can go back and ask your grandfather."
"What I want to remind you is that if you are dissatisfied with this engagement in the future and want to break it off, please don't use your power to intimidate others. Give them some face. As long as everyone sits down and talks it out, things can be resolved."
Mu Zhan felt that things had developed that way because Nalan Yanran's attitude was very problematic. She openly broke off the engagement, used the Yunlan Sect to intimidate others, and knowingly gave someone a Qi-gathering powder when they couldn't gather their fighting spirit. What else could this be but provocation?
Given his long-standing relationship with Nalan Yanran, Mu Zhan felt it was best to remind her, and whether she ultimately did it or not was up to her.
"Okay, I'll look into it."
Nalan Yanran listened to him. She had never respected anyone since she was a child, except for Mu Zhan. At first, she was not convinced, but Mu Zhan gradually beat her into submission.
After the five of them finished shopping together, they each went home to rest.
The next day, the Canaan College admissions team arrived as scheduled.
Mu Zhan led Little Fairy Doctor and Qing Lin to the Canaan Academy's admissions plaza.
As far as the eye could see, there was a dense crowd of people.
"There are way too many people!"
Little Fairy Doctor was also terrified when she saw the number of applicants, which was as numerous as ants. She wondered when she would ever get a turn.
"Queue? Why should we queue?"
With Little Fairy Doctor in his left arm and Green Scale in his right, Mu Zhan unfurled his battle qi wings and flew directly to the registration area at the very front.
"We're here to register."
Mu Zhan landed at the registration desk and spoke to the staff member in charge of registration.
The crowd stirred because of Mu Zhan's high-profile entrance. They wished they could take his place and have this opportunity to flaunt his charm with a girl in his arms.
"Lord Dou Wang, this is the student registration office of Canaan Academy."
The staff member wiped away his cold sweat; it was the first time he had ever encountered a Battle King registering for the tournament.
"We are students here to register."
Mu Zhan repeated it again.
"Please wait a moment, I'll go ask the team leader."
The staff member hurriedly went into the large tent at the back to call the mentor in charge of leading the team.
"A Battle King? Take me to see him."
Ruolin was also somewhat surprised, as this was the first time she had ever seen such a situation. Soon after, she was guided by the staff to the registration area.
"Are you the Battle King?"
Ruolin could hardly believe her eyes when she saw Mu Zhan, because Mu Zhan was so young. Although he was very tall, his appearance was still somewhat immature, and he looked like a child.
"I am not a Battle King, that is just my flying combat technique."
Mu Zhan felt it necessary to explain.
"I see, that makes sense then. Come here, I'll register you personally. Tell me your names, ages, and battle qi levels."
Ruolin breathed a sigh of relief. She knew it; how could Mu Zhan, who was so young, possibly be a Dou Wang?
"Mu Zhan, thirteen years old, three-star Dou Ling."
