The matter of the Xiao Family's relocation to the Emperor City had concluded, but the liveliness in Gama Emperor City showed no signs of stopping—
The recruitment team from Jia Nan Academy was about to arrive in Gama Emperor City.
Jia Nan Academy recruited from across the entire Fighting Qi Continent, and its Inner Academy especially gathered heirs from various great families and powers of the Central Plains.
Jia Nan Academy's foundation was also exceptionally profound. The Outer Academy's Dean, Hu Gan, was at the Peak Dou Huang Realm, while the Inner Academy's Grand Elder, Su Qian, was a Dou Zong.
The two guardians of the library pavilion, The Two Elders Qian Bai, were at the Peak Dou Zong Realm. There was also a legendary Dean, a member of the Ancient Races' Lei Clan, whose strength had reached the Half-Saint level.
Of course, Jia Nan Academy's admission threshold was not low either. One had to reach the Eighth Stage of Dou Qi before the age of eighteen.
The Outer Academy of Jia Nan Academy had a massive student body, as the academy recruited from the entire continent.
Those who reached the Eighth Stage of Dou Qi before twenty were actually not that rare across the entire continent.
Each city had at least a few, sometimes dozens, and that wasn't limited to just the Northwest Continent.
Some families from the Central Plains also sent their younger generations to Jia Nan Academy for further study.
In the end, tens of thousands of students joined Jia Nan Academy's Outer Academy every year.
Similarly, the number of students graduating from Jia Nan Academy's Outer Academy each year was also in the tens of thousands.
However, Jia Nan Academy's Inner Academy was its true core. Only in the Inner Academy could one enjoy the so-called 'Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower'.
But to enter the Inner Academy, one needed to rank within the top fifty in the all-grade competition.
Fighting for a spot in the top fifty out of tens of thousands!
However, Xiao Xue wasn't worried at all.
After all, ordinary people still made up the vast majority of those who could join Jia Nan Academy.
Most people didn't have the strength to compete for an Inner Academy spot.
Of course, these people did not include Xiao Yan, Xiao Xun Er, Xiao Yi Xian, Qing Lin, and herself, Xiao Xue.
As long as the five of them registered, barring any accidents, the top five spots in the Outer Academy would be theirs.
Xiao Xue and Xiao Yi Xian need no further explanation. Both were One-Star Dou Lings; the teachers coming to recruit might not even be stronger than them.
The two of them could be directly guaranteed entry into the Inner Academy with no issues.
After all, in the original work, Ruo Lin, Xiao Yu's mentor, was only a Five-Star Great Dou Master, yet she could already be a teacher in the Outer Academy.
Moreover, Xiao Xue was a Fifth-Grade Alchemist. The Alchemy Department Elder in Jia Nan Academy, Old Man Huo, was only a Fifth-Grade Alchemist as well.
But being directly guaranteed entry would be so boring.
Since they were already here anyway, they might as well participate in the Fire Energy Competition later and directly snatch Fire Energy from dozens of other new and senior students.
This Fire Energy was of no use to Xiao Xue herself, but for Qing Lin and Xiao Yi Xian, it would be quite useful.
In the Inner Academy, Fire Energy was the universal currency—the more, the better.
And besides, who could resist the joy of dominating the newbies?!
Therefore, Xiao Xue planned to join Jia Nan Academy as an ordinary student.
Of course, Xiao Yan and Xiao Xue intended to go out and gain experience first.
So, Xiao Xun Er and the others probably wouldn't enter the Inner Academy in the first year either, preferring to wait until Xiao Yan and Xiao Xue returned from their external training.
However, Xiao Xue still hoped they could join the Inner Academy directly.
After all, given her and Xiao Yan's strength, entering the Inner Academy was a foregone conclusion. There was no need for Xiao Xun Er and the others to waste time in the Outer Academy.
Her two Disciples, Qing Lin and Xiao Yi Xian, with their Calamity Poison Body and Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, both possessed bug-level Physiques.
The boost from the Fallen Heart Flame could allow them to master and develop their own strength more quickly.
Qing Lin goes without saying. Xiao Yi Xian's Calamity Poison Body carried potential risks, necessitating improved self-control.
After Xiao Yi Xian broke through to the Dou Ling Realm by refining the brand poison, Xiao Xue forbade her from consuming any more poison.
If Xiao Yi Xian continued to rely on 'poison pills' to improve, she could probably break through to the Dou Zong Realm in less than two years.
But conversely, the probability of her Calamity Poison Body losing control would also be higher.
The Dou Zong Realm was already the limit for an ordinary Calamity Poison Body.
If the issue wasn't resolved, Xiao Yi Xian's Calamity Poison Body would erupt before she could break through to the Dou Zun Realm.
Therefore, Xiao Xue demanded that Xiao Yi Xian Cultivate step by step for now. At the very least, after her Dou Qi cultivation broke through to the Dou Wang Realm, she could then consider using pills to Upgrade.
