"I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in Jia Nan Academy."
A calm voice echoed through the area, leaving both students and instructors utterly shocked.
In the Dou Qi Continent, especially within the three major empires nearby, Jia Nan Academy was the dream destination for every young boy and girl.
This was why the academy's recruitment process was always such a major event.
Not only did the academy have excellent instructors, but it also offered top-tier cultivation methods and Dou techniques, along with the hidden advantage of valuable connections.
It was commonly believed that as long as one could graduate from Jia Nan Academy, their future would be filled with endless opportunities.
Yet, today, someone openly declared their disinterest in Jia Nan Academy. It was truly unprecedented.
After these words left Mo Yu's mouth, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward. Even the always gentle and composed Instructor Ruo Lin furrowed her delicate brows.
"Instructor Ruo Lin, haha, I've missed you so much!"
Seeing the gentle woman inside the tent and sensing the tense atmosphere, Xiao Yu called out with a giggle and dashed forward, hugging Ruo Lin's slim but curvy waist.
"Did you enjoy your holiday?" Ruo Lin, with Xiao Yu in her arms, smiled as her earlier tension eased.
"It was okay," Xiao Yu replied playfully, glancing at Mo Yu with some embarrassment. His direct rejection had created an awkward situation, but thankfully, she had a good relationship with Ruo Lin.
Leaning closer, Xiao Yu teased Ruo Lin with a whisper, "Instructor, you're becoming more and more gentle. If this continues, any man who falls for you will probably be trapped in your gentle embrace for life."
Ruo Lin's cheeks flushed slightly as she lightly tapped Xiao Yu's head. With a loving smile, she turned her attention to Mo Yu and the others, softly saying, "Is this the person you brought? They're all quite impressive. But it seems like your fiancé isn't too interested in Jia Nan Academy."
"Ah... well," Xiao Yu hesitated awkwardly before explaining, "He just has some matters to attend to and can't join the academy for now."
Although Xiao Yu didn't fully understand Mo Yu's thoughts, she could guess why. After all, with a mysterious master who could casually hand out Earth-tier cultivation techniques, it wasn't surprising that Mo Yu would look down on Jia Nan Academy.
"I see, but I won't give up on such a good prospect," Ruo Lin's eyes gleamed with determination.
Shaking her head, Ruo Lin let go of Xiao Yu and gently called out to the group of new students, "Everyone, please come inside."
The students, drenched in sweat under the blazing sun, were overjoyed and scrambled to enter the shade of the tent.
Ruo Lin's gaze swept across the group before finally settling on Mo Yu. She smiled softly and said, "Luo Bu didn't mean any real harm. He was just a bit angry earlier, so he acted rashly. I hope you won't hold it against him."
"It's fine. If he hasn't learned his lesson, I don't mind teaching him again. But next time, I won't be so merciful," Mo Yu replied coldly, a faint killing intent lacing his words.
Everyone present was taken aback by the hidden menace in Mo Yu's tone. It was only then that they realized that, despite his youth, Mo Yu wasn't as impulsive as he seemed. He had a deep and calculated nature.
Some of the female students couldn't help but glance enviously at Xiao Yu. Having such a protective fiancé was something they could only dream of.
Xiao Yu, her face slightly flushed, stared at Mo Yu with admiration and a deep sense of reliance.
Instructor Ruo Lin blinked her long lashes, suddenly feeling as though she were facing one of the top students from the inner courtyard.
Shaking off her thoughts, Ruo Lin instructed two male students to carry the unconscious Luo Bu inside. She knelt down and examined his injuries, her brows furrowing slightly as she gave Mo Yu a brief reproachful glance.
After a moment of contemplation, Ruo Lin stretched out her delicate hand, gently touching Luo Bu's arm. A soft blue energy, warm like water, flowed from her fingers into Luo Bu's body, calming his chaotic Dou Qi and healing some of the injuries.
Under Ruo Lin's healing Dou Qi, Luo Bu soon regained consciousness with a groan.
"How are you feeling?" Ruo Lin asked softly as she withdrew her hand.
Luo Bu opened his eyes and, seeing the smiling Instructor Ruo Lin standing beside him, understood what had happened. He stood up awkwardly, casting a nervous glance at Mo Yu before quickly looking away.
It was clear that after this defeat, Luo Bu had no interest in pursuing Xiao Yu any longer.
After settling the situation, Ruo Lin turned to Mo Yu, her eyes twinkling with curiosity. "To defeat Luo Bu so easily, your strength must be quite remarkable. Could you tell me your age and cultivation level?"
Hearing her soft, alluring voice, Mo Yu's heart stirred slightly before he calmly responded, "Seventeen years old, Seven-Star Dou Zhe."
Ruo Lin's mature figure froze for a moment, her face showing shock.
"Seventeen years old… Seven-Star Dou Zhe!"
In Jia Nan Academy, those under twenty years old with Dou Zhi Qi 8th stages were considered to have F-level potential, 9th stages meant E-level, a One-Star Dou Zhe was D-level, and a Two-Star Dou Zhe was C-level. The highest level, S-class, belonged to Five-Star Dou Zhes.
But Mo Yu had clearly surpassed that. He possessed SSS-level potential. To their knowledge, there had only been one student in the past decade with S-level potential.
After a moment of stunned silence, Ruo Lin's eyes locked onto Mo Yu, her mature form emanating a subtle fragrance. Her gentle gaze held a deep desire, as though she wanted to claim this young genius for Jia Nan Academy.
Luo Bu, standing off to the side, twitched at hearing Mo Yu's strength, now realizing what kind of monster he had provoked.
Xiao Yan and Xun'er exchanged shocked glances as well.
Especially Xun'er, whose strength was only at the Six-Star Dou Zhe level. Even though she had intentionally suppressed her cultivation, as the heir of the Gu Clan, she rarely encountered anyone who could rival her talent. Yet now, Mo Yu had nearly caught up to her.
Xiao Yan also felt a surge of determination. He wouldn't let his cousin Mo Yu outpace him by too much.
Xiao Yu gave Mo Yu a proud glance, while Xiao Ning finally began to accept his future brother-in-law, even feeling a sense of pride in their connection.
Xiao Mei, however, watched Mo Yu with a growing sense of bitterness, before glancing at Xiao Yu, her eyes filled with envy…
