Canaan College Guards

Outside the town's ghost gate, a collection of tents had been erected, accommodating a large group of people.

Within one of these tents, Lu Yunxiao stood quietly, book in hand, immersed in its contents.

"Yunxiao, can I come in?" A gentle voice sounded from outside the tent, capturing Lu Yunxiao's attention.

Setting down the book, Lu Yunxiao responded softly, "Come in."

The voice was followed by the graceful figure of Instructor Ruolin. She entered the tent with a light step, carrying a tray containing steaming barbecue.

Observing Lu Yunxiao, she approached with a smile. "It's noon. I noticed you hadn't eaten yet, so I brought some food for you."

Lu Yunxiao placed the tray down, surveying the barbecue on it before starting to eat at a leisurely pace.

The grilled meat wasn't the most exceptional, but its flavor was pleasant. The neat arrangement of the grilled meat indicated that it wasn't the handiwork of rugged individuals but rather, someone like Instructor Ruolin.

Lu Yunxiao realized that Teacher Ruolin had indeed been very considerate towards him. He remembered her kindness and vowed to perform well in the academy as a form of repayment. After all, based on what he knew, Instructor Ruolin was on the verge of becoming a Xuan-level instructor, which would bring significant benefits.

Instructor Ruolin observed Lu Yunxiao eating with a gentle smile on her face. To her, Lu Yunxiao wasn't just a student; he felt like a younger brother next door, and a particularly endearing one at that.

"By the way, Mentor Ruolin, it's been two days since we arrived here. The other recruitment teams have already assembled. When can we expect the Canaan College guards to arrive?" Lu Yunxiao inquired after a few bites, recalling the matter.

"Based on the schedule, they should be here soon. Getting restless, are we? Bored even though you have so many lovely senior sisters around?" Instructor Ruolin playfully asked with a playful tone.

Twitching his mouth, Lu Yunxiao replied helplessly, "Instructor Ruolin, could you not say that? It sounds like a bunch of female hoodlums."

With a chuckle, Teacher Ruolin responded, "Why not? It's normal for them to have their eyes on you. In all my years as an instructor, you're the first student to be so popular with girls."

"Besides, Yunxiao, can you be honest with me? Among all these senior sisters, you really don't find anyone you like?"

Lu Yunxiao looked at her and responded with a sigh, "Instructor Ruolin, why are you so nosy? Are you interested in this?"

"In all honesty, I'm just curious. And don't be so shy in front of your mentor. If you truly like someone, your mentor can help play matchmaker," she added with a smile.

Lu Yunxiao couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "I'm not really interested in anyone."

"Really?" Instructor Ruolin persisted.

"Yes, really."

"What a shame. Are they not attractive enough for you? Oh, speaking of attractiveness..."

Suddenly, Teacher Ruolin seemed to recall something, clapping her thigh as if struck by an idea. "When it comes to beauty, there's actually a stunning female student under my guidance. She's incredibly beautiful, and currently single. Would you like your mentor to introduce you to her?"

Lu Yunxiao waved his hand, rejecting the offer. "That won't be necessary."

"Whatever you say. Once you arrive at Canaan College, I'll introduce her to you," Instructor Ruolin responded excitedly.

Lu Yunxiao: "..."

...

As per Ruolin's words, the Canaan College guards finally arrived in the afternoon.

A Tier 3 griffin beast carried more than two hundred guards, each emanating an air of iron and blood. These individuals were genuine warriors who had experienced battles and hardships.

Among these guards, over a hundred and fifty were fighters, with each of them having a cultivation level of five-star fighters or above. Around forty were at the fighting master stage, and ten were powerful fighting masters.

The most conspicuous figures, however, were the three leaders: two men and a woman. Their auras were thick and formidable, and they stood with a commanding presence that marked them as extraordinary figures.

Notably, all three of them were strong fighters.

A strong fighter was the highest level below a fighter king. In fact, strong fighters were so formidable that even in Canaan College, they held a certain degree of seniority.

These three strong fighters personally led the group. As long as no accidents occurred, no one would dare to provoke them even in the Black Point Region. After all, the strength of a strong fighter was already quite remarkable.

The presence of three strong fighters serving as escorts indicated that Canaan College attached significant importance to the safety of their new students.

"This is Canaan College's guard team—a truly elite force. The top three among them are likely strong fighters. Among them, the lone female strong fighter might be at the level of a seven-star strong fighter, or perhaps even an Eight-Star Dou Ling. She's certainly a master," Lu Yunxiao murmured to himself as he watched the guard team fly in.

"Yunxiao, you have quite the discerning eye. How could you determine their specific levels?" Instructor Ruolin asked in surprise as she listened to his quiet comment.

"Based on the kind of pressure they exude, I can tell," Lu Yunxiao replied nonchalantly.

After all, he was quite familiar with Haibodong's aura due to his past interactions. Since Hai Bodong's strength had been sealed, causing him to regress from a Five-Star Dou Huang to an Eight-Star Dou Ling, the aura emitted by the female Dou Ling was on par with Haibodong's. Therefore, Lu Yunxiao could discern it with ease.
