Han Yue and Xin Lan were wearing black Xu Sect martial uniforms. Although they were not dresses, their martial attire highlighted their exceptional bearing, less feminine softness but extremely efficient, outlining their perfect body curves.
The line of aspirants waiting to pass the examination nearly all had their eyes glued on them.
Beauties abound in the Xu Sect; many people come just for the beauties.
"There are so many beauties in the Xu Sect. Even the two responsible for our assessment are this gorgeous. It's said that there are even more celestial beauties inside the sect who rarely show their faces."
"Both of them are students from Canaan Academy, and they're on the level of school beauties. It's rumored that they have a very special relationship with the Sect Leader of the Xu Sect, Xu Ran."
"Who is this Xu Ran, to have so many stunning beauties around him? His strength must have reached the legendary Dou Zun realm, right?"
"Pfft, you're so out of the loop. It's more than just Dou Zun, he must be a Dou Sheng level expert. The strong forces that attempted to invade Canaan Academy a few days ago were said to come from the Mysterious Central State, and their strength was also above the Dou Zun level. This Sect Leader Xu Ran is at least a Dou Sheng."
Those standing in line chatted in groups of three or five.
Xu Ran listened and was somewhat surprised. It seemed his identity at Canaan Academy had been exposed. If he went to Canaan Academy in the future, he probably couldn't show his face casually.
"Hmph, frogs at the bottom of a well." The genius descendants from the Ancient Families who heard these people's conversations were very disdainful. The being they revered was... a Dou Di!
When they first heard the news, they thought they had heard wrong, but the truth proved them right.
The many top experts of the Hun Clan, including the Lord of the Soul Hall, had not returned, and this fact was not a secret in front of those from the Ancient Families; with a little inquiry, it was known. Moreover, the scene at the Jia Ma Empire at that time could be learned from just asking a few people.
A Dou Di, an expert of that level still existed in this era!
However, even with knowledge of these secrets, they did not publicize them. Their purpose was to show goodwill in advance to the Xu Sect, and Xu Ran.
"Hey, kid, you're not thinking of cutting in line, are you?"
"Such a handsome young man."
"The person in the Black Robe following him is really weird."
People noticed Xu Ran, their eyes showing amazement. They watched as Xu Ran walked forward and did not stop him. The consequences of cutting in line were severe.
"Ladies, you've been working hard, would you like some fruit to quench your thirst?"
Xu Ran's tone was teasing as he held out two peaches, a favorite fruit, in front of the two women.
"You're looking for death... Xu Ran, is that you?"
"You're back?"
Han Yue and Xin Lan were about to lash out but suddenly looked up, excited, standing up and throwing themselves toward Xu Ran.
Because Gu Yuena alone had wiped out all the experts from the Hun Clan at Canaan Academy, and the news of Xu Ran's deeds in the Jia Ma Empire had also spread, it was natural that Xu Ran's true strength couldn't be concealed anymore.
At this moment, they finally understood the honor Xu Ran had brought them. As long as they had even the slightest connection to a Dou Di, who in this world would dare show them disrespect?
They had all already understood that those so-called grudges and grievances of their families were nothing but minor squabbles. As long as the world knew about their relationship with Xu Ran, their families could ride the waves to greater heights.
Such was the deterrent power of a super powerhouse.
"Why didn't you tell us earlier... wuwu, you are so powerful and yet we didn't know," Han Yue and Xin Lan threw themselves into Xu Ran's embrace, crying uncontrollably. Beauties shedding tears were such a pitiful sight. However, they were purely tears of overwhelming joy.
Their boyfriend was a Dou Di, which was simply astonishing. These past days, they felt as if they were living in a dream; they couldn't believe it was real unless the people around them hadn't started treating them with immense respect.
Moreover, they had even more outstanding elder sisters. They didn't see any problem with Xu Ran having so many women by his side; it was also a symbol of Xu Ran's strength.
These days, they were in charge of Xu Ran's newcomer assessment, and even the Great Elders of Canaan Academy had summoned them.
They were merely students of the Inner Court of Canaan Academy, yet they were directly promoted by the Great Elder to become Elders of the Canaan Academy.
How huge was the gap between a student and an Elder?
The achievements of their own families, those relatives, were just so throughout their entire lives. And yet they, merely because of Xu Ran, without doing anything, had dramatically received all this.
The entire Canaan Academy was now in a frenzy. Although those people didn't know that Xu Ran's realm was that of a Dou Di, in the eyes of Canaan Academy, Xu Ran was considered a Dou Sheng Expert. Even so, there were many who dreamed of becoming disciples under Xu Ran.
A super powerhouse had once stayed in Canaan Academy, and countless people were beating their chests and stomping their feet in regret. If they had known Xu Ran back then, they would at least be able to mix as a deacon in Canaan Academy by now.
After all, in Canaan Academy, anyone related to Xu Ran was at least a deacon. And becoming Xu Ran's lover would mean becoming an Elder.
Xu Ran didn't know before because he was in the Jia Ma Empire. Zi Yan, Hu Jia, Xue Ni, Xiao Yu, Xiao Mei, along with Xun Er, were all conferred the positions of Elders as well. To make them accept the position, they even created the title of Honorary Elder; in short, they wanted to tie them all to Canaan Academy.
In the eyes of Canaan Academy, all of them were at least guaranteed to become Dou Shengs in the future.
"Damn, is that the legendary Sect Leader Xu Ran of the Xu Sect? He's so young. If I didn't know his identity, I'd think he's just a regular young man like us."
"He's so handsome. If only I could marry Lord Xu Ran, even just receiving a moment of his affection would satisfy me."
Some lovesick girls' gazes toward Xu Ran changed. If it wasn't for Xu Ran's powerful aura providing such a strong deterrent, those lovesick girls probably would have pounced on him and torn his clothes to shreds, putting on a show in front of everyone.
Xu Ran was handsome and strong, the perfect catch.
It took quite a while for Xu Ran to coax the two women, stabilizing their emotions. They then realized that being too affectionate with Xu Ran in front of others was inappropriate, and quickly separated.
"Xu Ran, who is that?" Han Yue and Xin Lan curiously looked at the Black Robe expert behind Xu Ran. Xu Ran usually had beautiful women around him, and suddenly having a mysterious male expert piqued their curiosity as well.
The others were also curiously shifting their gaze to the Black Robe expert behind Xu Ran.
"Oh, this guy?"
"He will be our Xu Sect's Closed-door Disciple, responsible for guarding the gate. Although his strength is a bit weaker, only a Five-Star Dou Sheng, he's more than enough for guarding the gate," Xu Ran said, pointing to Hun Miesheng who stood behind him.
Hun Miesheng obediently walked to the entrance of the Xu Sect and stood there. Just standing there, he exuded a formidable oppressive force.
