Xun'er heard Xiao Jietian's amusing words and couldn't help but look over, "That's Bai Shan, the one Instructor Ruo Lin mentioned."
As she spoke, Xun'er's brows furrowed, and anger welled up in her heart because Bai Shan had harbored a hint of killing intent towards her Xiao Jietian Ge.
"Don't worry, with this guy, I can easily take care of him with one hand."
Xiao Jietian felt Xun'er's anger, and knowing her personality, he naturally understood what was happening. She truly was the most protective wife in Battle Through the Heavens.
Xun'er nodded gently. Xiao Jietian had already told her his cultivation level last night, but she also made a decision in her heart.
Hu Jia, in the distance, also noticed Bai Shan's abnormality, and a meaningful smile played on her lips: "You two had better fight until both are gravely injured, preferably crippled. That way, Xun'er might just be mine."
The chief referee, at Hu Gan's signal, came from the referee's stand to the center of the arena.
"Today is our academy's annual Inner Academy selection competition. Only the top fifty will be able to advance to the Inner Academy. Therefore, I hope you all perform well and show your best strength. Otherwise, you will miss this opportunity and have to wait for the next."
"Without further ado, I announce that the Inner Academy selection competition officially begins! Contestants whose names are called, please enter the arena on time. During the competition, intentionally harming someone's life is strictly forbidden."
As the chief referee's voice fell, bursts of cheers and applause erupted in the arena, filling it with excitement.
The chief referee pressed his hands down, and the sounds quieted: "Cheng Mo of Yellow Class Three against Wang Tong of Profound Class One."
As soon as the chief referee's voice fell, two figures darted out from two different locations and arrived in the arena.
Their cultivation levels were the same, and after a fight, Wang Tong ultimately won.
Subsequently, three or four more matches took place.
"Xiao Xun Er of Yellow Class Two, against Mo Wen of Profound Class Two."
Xun'er heard the referee call her name and smiled at Xiao Jietian, "Xiao Jietian Ge Ge, Xun'er is going to compete now."
"En, good luck. I'm looking forward to your performance."
Xiao Jietian nodded, glancing at Mo Wen, who had already entered the arena.
Xun'er lightly tapped her toes on the ground, like a dancing butterfly, gracefully landing on the competition stage.
Xun'er's posture was elegant; she looked like a green lotus emerging unstained from the mud.
With Xun'er's entrance, cheers erupted from both the audience and participant stands.
Xiao Jietian looked at the popular Xun'er, a slight smile playing on his lips: This is mine. You can only look, but I can possess her.
Seeing that both parties were in position, the chief referee announced loudly, "Let the match begin!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the two exchanged combat greetings, and Mo Wen immediately swung his fist, launching an attack. The fist wind howled as it swept towards Xun'er.
Xun'er calmly shifted her body slightly, easily dodging his attack.
Seeing that his first strike missed, Mo Wen immediately changed his move, preparing to continue attacking. Xun'er's figure was light and ethereal, evading his attacks.
Xun'er thought that Xiao Jietian was waiting for her, and what if some vixen took advantage of her absence to approach Xiao Jietian?
So, she no longer held back. Golden light burst forth between her palms, forming a streak of light that accurately struck the young man's body, and the powerful Dou Qi directly blasted him out of the arena.
"This round, Xiao Xun Er wins!"
The referee's voice shouted loudly.
"Thank you for the match, Senior."
Xun'er bowed to Mo Wen, then her figure left the arena directly. As soon as she returned to her class's spot, she saw several bold girls walking towards Xiao Jietian, but upon seeing Xun'er, they pretended nothing was wrong and retreated.
A smile played on her lips as she glanced at them. It was one thing to have her home'stolen' when she wasn't around before, but if it happened now, wouldn't that make her useless?
"Xiao Jietian Ge Ge, how was my performance?"
Xun'er stood in front of Xiao Jietian, bending at the waist, her bright eyes sparkling with anticipation as she looked at the listless Xiao Jietian sitting in the chair.
Xiao Jietian looked at Xun'er, his eyes full of admiration. He reached out and stroked Xun'er's head, saying, "Xun'er, you are truly amazing. Your performance was outstanding."
"Hehe~"
Xun'er's eyes flashed with joy upon hearing Xiao Jietian's praise. She immediately sat beside Xiao Jietian, linked her arm through his, her small face full of smiles.
"This little girl is getting more and more formidable. She can even cleanly defeat a senior from the Profound Class," Xiao Yu, who was nearby, said with a smile to Xun'er. Instructor Ruo Lin also nodded in satisfaction.
"Xue Beng of Profound Class Three, against Xiao Yan of Yellow Class Two."
The chief referee's shout came from the arena. A man holding a long spear instantly appeared in the arena, his gaze burning as he looked towards Xiao Xun Er.
"Tian Ge, I'll teach him a lesson for you."
Xiao Yan also noticed that the man was his Tian Ge's love rival. He narrowed his eyes, stood up, and walked towards the competition stage. Tian Ge treats me so well; anyone who is hostile to him is my enemy.
Xiao Yan and Xue Beng stood opposite each other. They nodded briefly, and after the referee announced the start, Xue Beng gripped his spear, carrying a fierce momentum, and thrust it directly at Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan directly grabbed his long spear with his bare hands, and his figure flickered, turning into a shadow that disappeared before him.
"Overlapping Waves."
A low roar in his heart, Xue Beng's long spear carried an indomitable, fierce momentum, thrusting directly at Xiao Yan's fist. As the spear shaft vibrated, waves of red light surged forth, and the scorching aura was like red fiery waves.
"Eight Extremities Collapse."
Xiao Yan directly passed through his attack, appearing in front of him. Xue Beng hurriedly blocked with his spear, and Xiao Yan's fist directly struck the spear shaft.
"Crack!"
A sound of finely crafted metal breaking rang out. Xue Beng's long spear shattered into two pieces, and Xiao Yan's fist landed directly on his body. He immediately spat blood and flew backward.
Bai Shan and the others looked at the incredibly brave Xiao Yan, a hint of spiritedness in their eyes: "This is a formidable opponent."
Time slowly passed, and then over a dozen matches took place. During this time, Xiao Yu also participated. Her opponent's strength was not very high, and she ultimately defeated her opponent and advanced.
"Cai Ji of Yellow Class Four, against Xiao Jietian of Yellow Class Two."
"Xiao Jietian Ge Ge, go for it!"
Xiao Jietian heard his name called, nodded at Xun'er and the others, and with a flash, appeared in the arena.
His opponent was a young man who looked rather handsome.
"Are you Xiao Jietian?"
The man stood opposite Xiao Jietian, a hint of disdain and provocation in his eyes: "You are not worthy of her. Only my boss, Bai Shan, is qualified."
Xiao Jietian glanced at him disdainfully, a cold sneer playing on his lips: "Whether I am worthy of her or not is not for you to judge."
"Can we start? It's quite unpleasant to stand here with such a useless person."
The person in front of him today was Xiao Jietian's target for establishing his authority. Otherwise, being constantly bothered by these 'ants' every day, disrupting his time with Xun'er, was quite annoying.
"Let the match begin!" After the chief referee's words, he flashed and left the arena.
"Arrogant brat, let me teach you how to respect your seniors and not be so brazen."
"Mountain Splitting Slash!"
An axe appeared in Cai Ji's hand, and his figure rapidly closed in on Xiao Jietian. He arrived in front of Xiao Jietian and fiercely chopped down at him.
Watching the axe in the arena, carrying an irresistible momentum, chop down towards Xiao Jietian, and seeing Xiao Jietian seemingly not reacting, Xiao Yu and Instructor Ruo Lin's expressions couldn't help but change, becoming very worried.
Only Xun'er's expression remained unchanged, still maintaining her tranquility. She was very clear how strong Xiao Jietian was; even if everyone in the entire Outer Academy were tied together, they wouldn't be enough for Xiao Jietian to fight alone.
"Kid, are you scared silly? I didn't expect you to be so useless."
Cai Ji saw Xiao Jietian's appearance and let out a frantic laugh, as if he had already seen his boss praising and rewarding him wildly after the match, and he himself would then become the chief lackey.
