"Because I didn't want others to cause me trouble, I ended up getting so much trouble, with everyone coming to find me… What kind of magical operation is this?"
Xiao Meng's actions left Xiao Yan not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"That's definitely something she would do." Xiao Yan's mouth twitched.
Then he thought of another question and asked, "Did Xiao Meng beat up all the students? Did she beat them one by one, or did she fight a whole group at once?"
Xun Er's face still held a gentle smile as she replied, "First, she beat them up one by one. After provoking public anger and being surrounded, it turned into a group brawl, and she fought them all by herself."
"Is she not injured?" Xiao Yan asked with some concern.
"She suffered some minor injuries, but all her opponents were beaten down."
Xiao Yan looked at the dense crowd of students and couldn't help but gasp:
"She fought over a thousand people by herself? Is she that strong?"
Xun Er replied with a calm tone, "Not over a thousand, but several hundred… She is indeed ridiculously strong.
"Xiao Meng's identity should also be extraordinary. Her family seemed to have come looking for her, but I'm not sure about the power behind her.
"Everyone wants to beat you up, partly for revenge, and partly to see if you are worthy of Xiao Meng calling you 'Young Clan Leader Xiao Yan'."
Xiao Yan's eyelids twitched: "That's too much credit for me… Surrounded by so many people, even a high-level Dou Spirit would only be able to run away with their head in their hands."
Xun Er wrapped her right arm around Xiao Yan's neck and pointed her left hand in a certain direction in the crowd:
"Do you see that middle-aged man in grey clothes?"
Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed: "He doesn't look like a student."
"Hmm, he's indeed not a student. He's an Elder of the Outer Courtyard. After Xiao Meng and the students had a large-scale brawl, he came out to stop it, and then he was also beaten down by Xiao Meng," Xun Er said with a playful smile.
Xiao Yan's body stiffened: "You're not going to tell me he might also make a move, are you?"
He suddenly felt that this position, this height, was still somewhat unsafe. With a flap of his wings, he flew higher into the sky.
Xun Er replied, "He probably won't openly make a direct move, after all, Deputy Dean Hu Qian is watching… But if other classmates all together can't beat you, he might subtly give you a few hits in secret. Or, under the guise of 'guidance,' invite you to the arena."
"So, Brother Xiao Yan, have you thought about how to deal with them? Oh, and Xiao Ning is now Xiao Meng's lackey. He's probably already trying to call for reinforcements. If you don't deal with this quickly, Xiao Meng might come over to 'heroically save the beauty'."
Xiao Yan was slightly stunned. Xun Er's tone carried a hint of certainty, as if she was very confident that he could handle this situation. He spoke:
"You seem to have a lot of confidence in me, more than I have in myself."
Xun Er's eyes curved into crescent moons as she smiled:
"I've always had a lot of confidence in Brother Xiao Yan."
Xiao Yan's mind echoed the words spoken to him by this elegant, lotus-like girl in his arms during his most desolate period:
"I believe Brother Xiao Yan will definitely rise again and reclaim your dignity and glory."
At this moment, the past and present seemed to overlap. Xiao Yan's lips curved back, revealing a smile:
"Since Xun Er has so much confidence in me, I can't disappoint you. Brother Eagle, I'll trouble you."
The Wind Splitting Eagle shot out from Xiao Yan's wings like a sharp arrow, and a gust of wind suddenly surged, spreading in all directions. Several students, unable to stand firm for a moment, fell onto the ground.
It returned to its original form, its enormous body with a wingspan exceeding thirty meters was awe-inspiring, its golden wings shimmered in the sunlight, and its sharp talons were like keen scimitars.
The aura of a Six-Star Magical Beast spread out unreservedly, causing the clamoring voices of the students below, who had been shouting to teach him a lesson, to abruptly cease.
Xiao Yan stood on the back of the Wind Splitting Eagle, looking down at everyone from above: "You all, you were quite noisy just now."
Those swept by his cold gaze averted their eyes one after another, not daring to meet his gaze.
Bai Shan looked at the figure standing on the back of the Six-Star Magical Beast, a look of unwillingness on his face.
"What's there to be arrogant about? It's not your own power; you're just relying on external forces…" Many people felt disdainful but also deeply envious.
Not everyone had a powerful background; many people's families didn't even have a Dou Emperor expert.
The moment the Wind Splitting Eagle revealed its aura, Vice Principal Hu Qian's expression also became solemn. He could clearly feel that the strength of this Wind Splitting Eagle was no less than his own, both being at the peak of Dou Emperor.
He secretly condensed his Dou Qi, worried that Xiao Yan might recklessly allow the Wind Splitting Eagle to attack the students, and was ready to intervene at any moment.
Xun Er had already dismounted from Xiao Yan's embrace and stood by his side, her gaze flickering as she looked at the majestic eagle below… It seemed Brother Xiao Yan's teacher was very powerful, to have prepared such a flying magical beast for him.
Bai Shan pondered for a long time, finally unable to resist stepping forward and saying, "Xiao Yan, do you dare to come down and fight me alone? This is the Academy; what skill is it to rely on your background? It only makes people think you're a good-for-nothing who relies on family power."
Family power? Xiao Yan shook his head. If it was a comparison of family backgrounds, probably more than half of the families behind the people in the Academy were stronger than the Xiao Family.
He had come this far entirely through his teacher's guidance and his own efforts.
"You guys, so many of you chasing just one of me, and you still have the nerve to talk? If it's about talent, then let's have a one-on-one fight. If it's about numbers, then it's fine for me to use some other means, right?" Xiao Yan said with a smile.
"So I'm inviting you to a one-on-one fight now, do you dare to accept?" Bai Shan said in a deep voice.
"Why wouldn't I dare? How do we fight?" Xiao Yan accepted the challenge.
"Right here, I think everyone is looking forward to it… Don't worry, it will be quick, it won't take much time."
"It really won't take much time." Xiao Yan left the eagle's back and shot towards Bai Shan.
Secret Technique, Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations!
"One move, to finish you!"
When he fought Nalan Yanran at the Yunlan Sect, he already had the strength of a Four-Star Dou Grandmaster. On the way to the Black-Corner Region, he advanced by two stars, and with the secret technique activated, his aura surpassed that of a Dou Grandmaster.
"What? A Dou Spirit?" Bai Shan's eyes showed shock.
He took out a long spear, gritted his teeth, and unleashed his most skilled move. Lightning-attributed Dou Qi moved like electric snakes along the spear shaft.
Accompanied by crackling sounds, the long spear thrust fiercely towards the rapidly approaching Xiao Yan.
"Thunderous Eight Desolations!"
Xiao Yan distorted his body, purple flames coiled around his arm, and his elbow slammed fiercely into the spear tip.
"Eight Extremities Collapse!"
A terrifying force was transmitted from the spear, almost causing Bai Shan to lose his grip on the long spear.
With a crack, Xiao Yan, in an extremely violent manner, broke the long spear, his elbow striking Bai Shan's chest.
The latter "pffft" spat out a mouthful of blood, falling backward, breaking a large tree, and passing out.
Bai Shan was already one of the strongest individuals in the Outer Courtyard, yet he was defeated so decisively by Xiao Yan, which also calmed down the other students who had originally been eager to beat up Xiao Yan.
Even without that beast pet, the opponent seemed not to be someone to mess with.
"Hey, this is my cousin, this is my cousin… I told you he's very powerful. Did you all see that?" Xiao Ning shouted loudly, looking smug.
Borrowing another's prestige… This was the most important trick Xiao Ning learned after coming to Jia Nan Academy. Before, he relied on Xiao Meng, and now it seemed he had another person to rely on.
"Young Clan Leader… You've finally arrived, we've been looking forward to this day." Xiao Ning eagerly stepped forward, rubbing his hands as he spoke.
Young Clan Leader… What kind of ridiculous title is that? Are you still that Xiao Ning? Where's your former rebellious demeanor?
Xiao Yan was stunned, his expression extremely strange.
When Xiao Ning first arrived at Jia Nan Academy, he was indeed rebellious, just as he had been in the Xiao Family, refusing to submit to Xiao Yan. He always felt he could make a name for himself with his own abilities.
But who among those who could enter Jia Nan Academy didn't have some talent? He was nothing special here. And because he protected Xiao Mei, he had conflicts with several ill-behaved students and was once a target of bullying.
It was Xiao Meng who helped him regain his standing and supported him.
From then on, Xiao Ning understood the importance of clinging to a powerful figure.
