59: Chapter 59 Leisure

After his Breakthrough to Dou Huang, Xiao Yan returned to Black Seal City, handed the Spirit Recovery Purple Pill to Elder Qing, and entrusted her to pass it on to Hai Bodong.

Watching the back of Elder Qing as she departed, Xiao Yan also prepared to leave. His destination this time was Peace Town, and after that, Jia Nan Academy.

Taking out the map of the Black-Corner Region and identifying the direction, Xiao Yan rose into the air and flew rapidly toward the north, his speed so great that it created a sonic boom!

Countless people heard the massive sonic boom and looked up, but by then, they could only see a small black dot on the horizon.

Along the way, he didn't care about anything, flying through the air recklessly. Every time he passed over a populous city, he caused a commotion.

Xiao Yan naturally did not care about others' opinions. In this Black-Corner Region, he was already an invincible existence and had no need to worry about anyone's views.

It was not until he was about a hundred miles from Jia Nan Academy that Xiao Yan slowly landed. Flying was not permitted around Jia Nan Academy. Although this was not a problem for Xiao Yan, for the sake of the Fallen Heart Flame, he had no need to go against Jia Nan Academy.

He walked along the yellow dirt road ahead. There were many pedestrians on the road, most with fierce expressions, clearly people who had come from the Black-Corner Region.

Xiao Yan glanced around casually. Many people who saw him were about to glare fiercely at him, but upon seeing the badge on Xiao Yan's chest representing a Sixth-Rank Alchemist, they immediately revealed sheepish smiles and stiffly shifted their gazes away.

Although these people were fierce, they were extremely sensible, because in the Black-Corner Region, those who were not sensible had long ago had their corpses thrown into some unknown ditch.

The Sixth-Rank Alchemist badge was naturally something he had recently qualified for. Wearing this thing could sometimes save a lot of trouble.

However, at this moment, Xiao Yan took off the badge and put it into his storage ring; he did not want to cause a commotion here...

After walking slowly for about ten minutes, Xiao Yan reached the entrance of a town. Above the entrance hung a plaque that read, "Peace Town."

Xiao Yan looked toward a large black tree at the side. Hanging from the tree were the corpses of many people—those who had dared to offend Jia Nan Academy, including two Dou Wangs and one Dou Huang.

He stepped into the town, his eyes sweeping over the children playing, and then he saw a dozen figures flashing over from the rooftops.

Leading them was a middle-aged man. He looked at Xiao Yan and the people around him and said, "Anyone entering Peace Town must declare their identity, name, and so on, otherwise, they will be directly expelled."

Behind the middle-aged man was a group of young men and women. Xiao Yan naturally knew the origin of these people; the middle-aged man in front of him was an instructor of Jia Nan Academy, and those behind him were students of Jia Nan Academy, who were Xiao Yan's seniors.

"In addition, after stating your names, take this Medicinal Pill!" He took out a bottle of light red pills, glanced at the crowd whose expressions had slightly changed, and said coldly, "Rest assured, these are not poisons, but pills that sense Killing Intent. Once it is sensed, it will emit a red light, and our Enforcement Team will follow the red light to find you..."

Many people still looked displeased, but after glancing at the large tree at the entrance, many reluctantly backed away. Those who remained, though also unhappy, helplessly entered, stated their names, and swallowed the pills.

Seeing these people swallow the pills, the middle-aged man's expression softened. He had no affection for these people from the Black-Corner Region.

Seeing that only he was left, Xiao Yan walked forward with a smile and said, "Sir, my name is Xiao Yan. I come from Wutan City in the Jia Ma Empire, and I am a student of Instructor Ruo Lin."

Because of participating in the auction house and refining the Heavenly Flame, the time of his arrival at Peace Town was similar to the original story, so it was no surprise to encounter these people at this time.

The middle-aged man looked at Xiao Yan in surprise and instructed the students behind him to check the records. A young man behind him heard Xiao Yan's words, his expression suddenly changed, and he blurted out, "Xiao Yan? Could it be that you are the Xiao Yan who asked for a year-long leave?"

The young man's exclamation made the people around him freeze, and then they revealed expressions of sudden realization. Many people looked at Xiao Yan with strange expressions.

This student, who hadn't even entered the academy yet, was famous in Jia Nan Academy. He had asked for a year's leave before even entering, and that wasn't all—he hadn't shown up when the time was up. Now, nearly two years later, he had actually just arrived...

And the reason Xiao Yan left an impression on the people of Jia Nan Academy was naturally not just because of the leave, but also because of the factor of Xun'er. This girl, who was revered as a goddess in the academy, naturally had many admirers.

"Xiao Yan? The 'Brother Xiao Yan' that Junior Sister Xun'er often speaks of? I heard that before entering the academy, he was already a three-star Dou Master..." Many people looked at Xiao Yan with eyes filled with inexplicable meaning.

"Heh, I am the Xiao Yan you speak of." Xiao Yan revealed a friendly smile and said.

Taking out the file to compare, the middle-aged man closed the file, revealed a trace of a smile, patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder, and said, "Little guy, you are not simple. You traveled through the Black-Corner Region all by yourself... The file says that two years ago you were a three-star Dou Master. Now, you have probably become a Great Dou Master, right?"

Hearing this, these young students of the Enforcement Team were stunned. A Great Dou Master? He should be eighteen years old now, right?

Xiao Yan smiled slightly, neither confirming nor denying, and did not offer much explanation.

"However, your timing is quite coincidental. Tomorrow is the Inner Academy selection competition, right... Heh, your name was already on the list last year; it was your instructor who insisted on including you despite the objections..."

"Xiao Yan, before you leave, I must warn you. Although you haven't entered the academy yet, you already have quite a few potential enemies... A girl as outstanding as Xun'er has too much attraction for the proud sons of heaven in the academy. She has only been in the academy for over two years, and her reputation has already caught up with that troublesome little demoness..."

Xiao Yan listened with a smile to the chattering voice before him. This instructor named Huo De actually had a decent personality.

Under the calls of a man and a woman on a Griffin, Xiao Yan stepped onto the Griffin outside the gate.

This flight lasted for nearly the entire night. In Xiao Yan's eyes, it was truly slow, but he felt embarrassed to refuse their kindness, so he just treated it as Cultivating in the air.

When the sky was just beginning to brighten, a massive city appeared beneath the Griffin. Jia Nan City was the name of this massive city.

"Heh, Junior Brother Xiao Yan, later we will park the Griffin in the flight station. After that, you will need to continue on your own..."

"Many thanks to you both." Xiao Yan thanked them with a smile.

"No need..." The young man waved his hand and blew a whistle, and then the Griffin dove toward the city below.

Jia Nan City, flight station.

Xiao Yan slowly walked out of the flight station. Before him appeared a spacious street paved with bluestone. Xiao Yan smiled slightly and began to wander around again, swiping his card.

"Stop that brat for me!"

Across the street, a shout reached Xiao Yan's ears. Xiao Yan's expression shifted, and he walked toward the place where the commotion was happening.

"Ma Yan, don't waste your effort. With your strength, you still want to set your sights on my cousin?"

"Brat, you refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. Attack, today we must make this brat see red!"

A seventeen or eighteen-year-old youth in blue was being surrounded and attacked. His eyes were burning red as he traded punches with those people, but obviously, the four opponents had the advantage in numbers, and before long, he was beaten until he coughed up blood.

"Bang!"

Just at this moment, a gust of wind swept by, and four figures instantly flew out, crashing heavily onto the street to the side, unconscious.
