The Outer Court Head looked at the two people who came from the Xiao Family.
His heart couldn't help but tremble slightly.
If he remembered correctly.
When these two entered the academy, one was merely a Seven-Star Dou Zhe, and the other was only a One-Star Dou Shi.
But now, after only a month, one was a Dou Master and the other was a Great Dou Master?
The Outer Court Head had truly never seen such a leveling speed in his life!
To the Outer Court Head, this speed was truly terrifying. These two could not be called Geniuses; they should be called "Prodigies," right?
Hearing the Outer Court Head's shocked voice.
Wu Hao also walked towards Xiao Yi with an astonished expression.
"Brother!? You're a Great Dou Master?"
"Don't kid me! A month ago, weren't you just a Dou Master..."
Xiao Yi merely smiled slightly: "It was just a fortunate Breakthrough..."
Hearing this, Wu Hao's mood completely plummeted.
After all, there is an ancient saying that applies everywhere.
[You fear your brother suffers, but you fear even more that your brother drives a Range Rover.]
At this moment, Wu Hao perfectly fit this old saying.
After all, when the two first met upon entering the academy, they were only separated by one Realm.
Now, after only a month, the gap in their Realms was already this large.
Xiao Yi had already achieved a Breakthrough to Great Dou Master, while Wu Hao was still struggling at Nine-Star Dou Zhe.
A moment later, the Outer Court Head, who had regained his composure, spoke again in a deep voice:
"Alright, alright..."
"The monthly assessment for the elite class still needs to be conducted..."
"The purpose of the assessment is to check the results of everyone's recent Cultivation..."
"This year's elite class only has four of you, so the assessment is quite simple..."
"One-on-one sparring matches will be the content of this assessment!"
The Outer Court Head paused before continuing:
"Hu Jia, you will spar with Xun'er..."
"Wu Hao, your opponent will be Xiao Yi..."
"Begin..."
Following the Outer Court Head's command, Hu Jia eagerly looked at Xun'er, cupped her hands, and said:
"Little Sister Xun'er, please forgive my offense..."
As Hu Jia finished speaking, pale green Dou Qi already swirled around her fingertips.
Xun'er stood ten meters away, her plain white skirt hem lifting slightly under the propulsion of her Dou Qi.
The golden-yellow Dou Qi condensing on her fingertips was like freshly formed dew drops.
Xun'er nodded slightly: "Big Sister Hu Jia, please guide me."
Before her voice faded.
Hu Jia had already shot out like a leopard, the green Dou Qi in her palm transforming into two long green staves, which she swept diagonally forward with a sharp whistling sound.
However, Xun'er merely tapped the ground with her toes, her figure floating sideways half a foot like willow floss. While avoiding the long staves, the golden Dou Qi on her fingertips suddenly surged, turning into a slender light whip that lashed out toward Hu Jia's waist.
"Good timing!"
Hu Jia shouted softly, stomped her left foot fiercely, and condensed the green Dou Qi into a wooden shield half a zhang wide in front of her.
With a crisp "crack," the whip struck the wooden shield, causing ripples to spread across it, but ultimately failing to break through.
Seizing this instant, Hu Jia performed a spinning kick with her right foot, and the wooden shield suddenly transformed into countless rays of green light, covering Xun'er like a thrown net.
Xun'er's eyes narrowed slightly; she advanced instead of retreating.
She was seen overlapping her palms, golden Dou Qi flowing along the lines of her arms.
Weaving a large golden net in front of her body.
The faint green light transformed from Hu Jia's Dou Qi struck the golden net, immediately having its force neutralized by the softened Dou Qi, losing its luster, and dissipating one after another.
Just as Hu Jia's old strength was exhausted and new strength had yet to be generated, Xun'er flicked her wrist, the giant net suddenly dispersed, and thousands of golden light points shot towards Hu Jia like a rainstorm.
Hu Jia's pupils constricted, and she quickly gathered all her Dou Qi to protect her body.
However, even so, Hu Jia still couldn't completely resist, and her figure couldn't help but retreat backward.
"I surrender..."
The next second, Hu Jia raised her right hand high, indicating her surrender.
At the same time, Xun'er stopped her attack and smiled gently:
"You flatter me..."
Wu Hao, who had just witnessed the fight between the two, now had his mouth wide open. He turned his head and whispered to Xiao Yi:
"Brother, is everyone in your Xiao Family a monster like this!"
"Xun'er and Hu Jia are both One-Star Dou Shi, so why did it look like Xun'er completely dominated the fight just now!"
"This is too terrifying..."
Xiao Yi did not speak, merely looking at Wu Hao and smiling slightly.
The Outer Court Head saw Hu Jia's defeat but did not find it strange at all.
Because the Outer Court Head had already predicted the result when the two first exchanged blows.
Although their Realms were the same, Xun'er's control over the timing of battle was far superior to Hu Jia's.
This single point already determined that Hu Jia could not defeat Xun'er.
"Next group, Wu Hao, Xiao Yi, you two step up..."
The Outer Court Head said in a deep voice.
Xiao Yi also smiled widely, taking a few steps back to create distance.
Wu Hao, however, had an expression of utter despair.
The next second, Wu Hao was seen raising both hands and speaking to the Outer Court Head:
"Dean! Can I just surrender right away..."
"Xiao Yi is already a Great Dou Master, and I'm just a Dou Practitioner. How can we fight..."
"If we fight, won't I just be embarrassing myself..."
"I choose to surrender immediately..."
Looking at Wu Hao's despairing expression, the Outer Court Head could only sigh helplessly.
He nodded.
After all, a Dou Practitioner facing a Great Dou Master truly had no meaning for a match.
"Wu Hao, you brat, if it weren't for your father's sake, I would have to properly teach you a lesson today!"
"Go back! Cultivate properly in the future! If your cultivation level is still stagnant next time, I'll have Wu Tianlang take you back..."
The Outer Court Head looked at Wu Hao and spoke in a deep voice.
Wu Hao, however, still wore a smile and nodded in response.
"Absolutely, absolutely!"
"Dean, don't worry, I will definitely achieve a Breakthrough to Dou Master by the next assessment..."
Seeing Wu Hao's carefree attitude, the Outer Court Head shook his head helplessly and sighed.
Immediately, he turned his head and said softly to Xiao Yi: "Xiao Yi, Xun'er..."
"The two of you, follow me..."
Xiao Yi and Xun'er exchanged a look, then followed the Outer Court Head forward.
Only when they reached an uninhabited area did the Outer Court Head stop.
He turned around to look at Xiao Yi, his eyes filled with admiration and appreciation for talent.
"To achieve a Breakthrough to Great Dou Master in such a short time!"
"Such talent is truly rare in this world!"
"Such Cultivation talent should not be wasted in the Outer Court..."
"Xiao Yi, are the two of you willing to enter the Inner Academy to study..."
Only then did the Outer Court Head slowly speak, revealing the true purpose of this trip.
When Xiao Yi heard this, he was first stunned:
"The Inner Academy? Of course, we are willing..."
"But Dean, didn't you say before that only those who advance to Dou Ling are qualified to enter the Inner Academy early..."
The Outer Court Head, however, smiled: "Rules are dead, but people are alive..."
"Aren't all rules established by people..."
"With your Cultivation talent, staying in the Outer Court would only waste time. Only the Inner Academy has truly good things to help the two of you Cultivate..."
Xiao Yi was overjoyed upon hearing this.
"Thank you, Dean!"
After all, the reason he had Cultivated so diligently this past month was to quickly advance to Dou Ling, enter the Inner Academy early, and subdue the Fallen Heart Flame.
Looking at the situation now, the plan had been moved up...
