the largest auction house in Utan City, and also belonging to the wealthiest family in the Jinma Empire: the Mittel family.
Today, the Mittel Auction House is undoubtedly the most bustling auction house this year. The spacious hall is crowded with people, and the noisy chatter is like a swarm of flies buzzing around your ears, making people feel irritable and causing Xiao Yan and his group, who had just entered, to feel dizzy.
However, Hun Changqing was not affected. In his previous life, when he was young, he frequented nightclubs every day, which were several times noisier than this place.
Because there were three young masters and ladies of the Xiao family in the group, the auction house staff led them into the VIP passage, and everyone chose a seat near the front.
Xiao Yan was bored in his seat, looking around, and then lazily leaned back in his chair, waiting for the auction to begin.
"Xiao Yu, it seems that it will be the enrollment period for Canaan Academy in about half a year, right?"
Xiao Yan suddenly said to Xiao Yu while leaning back in his chair.
Now that Xiao Yan has regained his talent and with some low-grade pills given to him by Hun Changqing, he has successfully recovered to the level of a Dou Zhe in the past two months and has begun cultivating the Burning Flame Technique.
Hun Changqing was unaware that Xiao Yan had cultivated the Burning Flame Technique; in his view, Yao Chen hadn't said a word to Xiao Yan when he took him away, so it was impossible for Xiao Yan to have obtained it.
After Xiao Yan advanced to Dou Zhe, Hun Changqing sensed that the technique Xiao Yan was practicing was a Yellow-rank technique, with a very weak aura, which surprised Hun Changqing.
The Xiao family should at least have Xuan-rank techniques, so why was Xiao Yan cultivating a Yellow-rank technique? Hun Changqing asked Xiao Yan what was going on.
Xiao Yan remembered that Gu Xun'er had told him never to tell anyone about the Burning Flame Technique.
So Xiao Yan told Hun Changqing that it was a technique from his family that was suitable for him, and that Xuan-rank techniques weren't fire-attribute.
Hun Changqing suddenly remembered that Xiao Yan seemed to have obtained a Yellow-rank fire-attribute technique at home in the original story, so he didn't ask any further questions.
Now that Xiao Yan had broken through to Dou Zhe, he didn't really want to stay at home forever.
He felt that if he continued to cultivate at home, he wouldn't be able to defeat Nalan Yanran in three years!
Moreover, cultivating the Burning Flame Technique required him to go out and find a different kind of fire, but he didn't know where to go. Seeing Xiao Yu, he suddenly thought of Canaan Academy, where Xiao Yu was, and asked.
Xiao Yu glared at Xiao Yan. Her feelings for this cousin were quite complicated. When they were young, Xiao Yan had accidentally seen her naked and often teased her, making her both love and hate him. She said irritably,
"Oh? You also want to enter Canaan Academy? If it were you before, it might be possible, but with your current cultivation level, you can't get in. The minimum requirement for Canaan Academy is to reach the eighth level of Dou Qi before the age of eighteen."
Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Xiao Yan smiled smugly. "Hehe, of course this young master knows the admission requirements of Canaan Academy, otherwise why would I ask you?
I've recovered my talent, and yesterday I broke through to the second star of Dou Zhe. Does that meet the admission requirements of Canaan Academy?"
A confident smile appeared on Xiao Yan's face.
"What!"
Xiao Yu covered her mouth with her small hand in shock, exclaiming in surprise.
Xiao Yu had just returned from Canaan Academy and was unaware that Xiao Yan had recovered.
"How did you recover? Even if you recovered, you shouldn't have reached the level of a two-star Dou Zhe in just two months. How did you do it?" "
Hehe, of course it's because of my older brother. My older brother is much stronger than my father. Curing my strange illness was a piece of cake for him." Without Yao Chen's guidance, Xiao Yan's personality became somewhat unruly, and he would boast about his elder brother to anyone he could find.
"What!"
Xiao Yu hadn't expected that Xiao Yan's elder brother was actually stronger than the clan leader.
Moreover, the person Xiao Yan called "elder brother" was probably not very old, likely around twenty years old. Such talent would have earned him a place in the inner courtyard of Canaan Academy.
After returning from Canaan Academy, Xiao Yu felt a sense of superiority, believing that the so-called geniuses in this small place, Wutan City, were nothing special.
The people in Canaan Academy were the real geniuses. Unexpectedly, upon returning, he discovered that Xiao Yan had not only recovered his strength but
had also recognized a true genius comparable to an inner disciple of Canaan Academy!
Xiao Yu secretly glanced at Hun Changqing, who was sitting on the far right of the group, dressed entirely in black.
Hun Changqing was leaning back in his chair, one hand clenched into a fist, propping up his slightly tilted head, staring listlessly at the auction stage above the auction house, somewhat lost in thought.
He showed absolutely no interest in anything in the auction house.
He just wanted to see the beautiful auctioneer, and by now he was getting a little impatient, but she still hadn't appeared.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yu, who was secretly watching Hun Changqing, gently tugged at Xiao Yan's arm and asked the puzzled Xiao Yan,
"Is your older brother really as powerful as you say? What's his strength?"
Xiao Yan's smile froze instantly upon hearing Xiao Yu's words. He suddenly realized that besides knowing his older brother's name, he seemed to know nothing about him.
A little embarrassed, Xiao Yan gave Xiao Yu an awkward smile, then quickly turned to Hun Changqing and asked,
"Ahem, older brother, I forgot to ask you, what's your strength now?"
Xiao Yu, seeing this, widened her eyes. Good heavens, you don't even know what his strength is and you're already bragging to me?
Hun Changqing opened his slightly narrowed eyes, glanced briefly at the embarrassed Xiao Yan, and calmly replied,
"Five-star Dou Ling."
Without the slightest hesitation, his answer was utterly convincing.
Gu Xun'er: ...
Gu Xun'er is now starting to doubt whether Hun Changqing's earlier comment about his ugliness was just a lie, like this one.
Xiao Yan's eyes instantly lit up. Five-star Dou Ling! Even a whole realm higher than his father! No wonder he's his older brother.
Xiao Yu also gasped in surprise, covering her mouth. This talent is definitely enough for the inner academy! His strength is only slightly inferior to the true monsters of the inner academy.
Xiao Yu quickly pulled Xiao Yan aside, saying,
"Xiao Yan, your brother's talent is top-tier even in Canaan Academy! He can definitely secure a place in the inner academy!
Why don't you ask your brother if he wants to join Canaan Academy? That way, we'll have someone to look after us!"
Xiao Yan's eyes lit up too.
Gu Xun'er, however, sneered inwardly at Xiao Yu's words. Hun Changqing going to Canaan Academy? What a joke! What for? To be the principal
