Battle Through The Heavens Season 5
Ch. 27 - Important Moments

“Hei, actually the new student who took two years off at a time.” Huo De held a file box in his hand in a spacious room. There's a picture in the file box. Although the image was three years old with a face that still carried a hint of innocence, its overall outline was exactly the same as Xiao Yan.

Hou De closed the file box in his hand before a genuine smile appeared on his face. He patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder and smiled before saying with a deeper meaning, in his words, “Little boy, you are definitely not simple. The File Box stated that you were only a four-star Dou Zhe two years ago, but now, I'm afraid that you are at least a Dou Shi class, right? ”

Upon hearing Hou De's words, the members of the Law Enforcement Unit were instantly shocked. They threw stunned gazes towards Xiao Yan. Within two years, he had instantly risen from a four star Dou Zhe to a Dou Shi. This kind of speed is pretty good.

Xiao Yan smiled, neither denying nor confessing.

“Are you planning to go directly to the academy now?” Huo De asked with a smile.

"Yes." Yeah." Xiao Yan nodded.

“Bring this with you. Only then will you be allowed to enter the academy. " Huo De took out a blue badge from his storage ring, and handed it to Xiao Yan. After which, he suddenly remembered something. He turned his head towards that Law Enforcement Unit member and smiled before he asked, "Oh that's right ... incidentally, tomorrow is the inner academy qualification competition, right?"

“Ah, yes it's true Section Chief Huo De.” A unit member hurriedly replied.

“You are really lucky to see such a big event after entering the academy. However, I do remember that it seemed like there was your name in the academy qualification competition last year. This was something that Instructor Ruo Lin had helped to fight against all odds. Unfortunately, you didn't come in the end. This really infuriated Instructor Ruo Lin. Therefore, I think he is unlikely to enter your name this year. After all, the qualification competition this time concerned whether he could be promoted to Xuan class instructor.: ” Huo De said with a smile.

"Uh ..." Xiao Yan was startled when he heard this. As he remembered seeing the green face of the angry noblewoman back then, he laughed bitterly and said, "I really have something important and cannot rush at that moment …"

“Hee hee, this is none of my business. If you want to explain, go and explain yourself to him.” Huo De smiled arrogantly. His gaze stared at the sky outside, which gradually darkened. He voiced his thoughts, “The sky is already dark enough now. However, I see you are in a hurry to go to the inner academy, so I will not hold you back. However, there was still an extremely vast area of primeval forest outside of the academy. There were many high ranked Magical Beasts there, and it was dangerous enough to pass through at night. I can let people pilot the Griffin ship to immediately take you straight to Jia Nan City. Is that okay?"

"Then, thank you very much, Instructor Huo De." Xiao Yan rejoiced at these words, and he quickly replied with gratitude. The map Dou Ma gave him only covered the area of ‘Black Corner’ Region. Xiao Yan's head was enveloped by the mist in which direction he should fly after entering ‘City of Peace’. Naturally his current desire is for someone who can take him to his destination.

"Ke Ke, it's okay."

Huo De smiled. The current him was not in keeping with the coldness he showed at the entrance of the city at all. He waved his hand and called out to the two members of the Law Enforcement Unit, one male and the other female. After he gave the instructions, he allowed the two of them to come out and make preparations.

“Xiao Yan, ah, I should remind you once before you leave. Even though you haven't entered the academy yet, it is likely that you already have quite a number of potential opponents within the Jia Nan Academy. Ke ke, I think you also know what the reason for this is .. This kind of incredible girl like Xun Er really has too much appeal towards the young man she likes, she said, talented, from the academy. He had come to the academy for over two years but his reputation had overtaken the little witch who gave people a headache. Therefore, your love rivals are not made of simple items. However, I advise you to know how to survive. It would be a little smarter.. ” Huo De approached Xiao Yan and reminded him of goodwill.

Xiao Yan laughed softly upon hearing this. Although he had missed two years of life in the academy, he believed that his life and death during these two years would definitely not be worse than any teaching method. During these two years, he had even fought fearlessly against a Dou Huang and even a Dou Zong. Would he be afraid of people of his age in the academy?

“Thank you for your reminder, Instructor Huo De. Xiao Yan would remember this in his heart." Xiao Yan smiled at Huo De, and cupped his hands together. He heard Griffin's scream outside. Without wasting any time, Xiao Yan turned around and quickly walked out of the room, and looked at the large Griffin, who was standing on the street, outside. At this moment, the man and woman on the Griffin smiled at Xiao Yan as they said, “Junior Xiao Yan, please go upstairs. We'll take you to Jia Nan City."

"Thank you very much." Xiao Yan smiled. His feet gently pushed off the ground and his body quickly jumped behind the Griffin. His legs immediately seemed to be stuck on his back and did not make the slightest movement.

Looking at Xiao Yan's completely silent body, shock flashed across the faces of the two people on Griffin's back. Keep in mind that Griffin's feathers cause a strange kind of moist air. Some people who are first riding it can only sit on a certain artificial saddle to stabilize their body. However, Xiao Yan was able to fully rely on himself to let his body stay balanced. This was something impossible for even the two of them to casually display.

“What the Vice Chairman of the Section said is indeed true. This Xiao Yan really has some expertise ... ” They both muttered in their hearts. They waved to Huo De, who had exited the house, before letting out a whistle from their mouths. Immediately, Griffin's wings that were creeping on the ground flapped. His huge body began to rise into the air in a spiral shape.

As Xiao Yan looked at the small town, which was rapidly becoming smaller, he exhaled. He raised his eyes and looked at the blue sky. The face of a graceful and beautiful young lady slowly appeared in his mind. His frown and laughter made the young man, who had lived two years in difficulty, become so concerned.

“Xun Er, I can finally meet you again.”.

The flight lasted almost the entire night. Of course, this also includes a two to three hour break in the middle of the road. When dawn came the next day, a beam of sunlight shot up from the edge of the land, casting out all the darkness between the land and the sky.

At this moment, Xiao Yan, whose eyes were closed as he rested, opened it as if he had suddenly sensed something. His gaze shot into the distance. There was an outline of the city occupying a large area, which left one speechless, slowly appearing within the thin fog.

"This is Jia Nan City huh …"

Even though he was in the sky, he was still unable to see the entire city within his field of vision. From here, you can see how big the city is.

“Ke Ke, Junior Xiao Yan, we will stop this Griffin at the flying stop inside the city. After that, you should hurry to the academy yourself. This is the rotation of our Law Enforcement group this week, therefore, we cannot leave ‘City of Peace’ for too long." The young man from the Law Enforcement Unit smiled as he spoke to Xiao Yan.

“Thank you very much, senior.” Xiao Yan nodded and smiled as he thanked her.

"No need ..." The young man waved his hand. A whistle was once again ejected from his mouth and Griffin immediately let out a soft cry. He waved his wings and shot towards the big city.

From the flying stop in Jia Nan City, Xiao Yan raised his head and watched the Griffin, which once again rose into the air. He slowly exhaled, turned around, and walked out of this empty space.

A vast and open road lined with green stones appeared in his eyes as he walked out of the flying stop. The flow of humans on the road churned, causing Xiao Yan to secretly become claustrophobic. This kind of human traffic was something that even the capital of the Jia Ma Empire could not compare to. It was indeed worthy of being the birthplace of the oldest academy in the continent. Just his name alone would attract many people to this place.

Xiao Yan did not stop on the road for too long. He followed the route indicated by the previous Law Enforcement members and rushed over. After circling around within the city in this manner for half an hour, Xiao Yan could only helplessly stop. He looked at the path, the end of which he still could not see, and could not help but laugh bitterly, "Damn it. Why was this city built so big? ”

Xiao Yan sighed sadly. He once again lazily rushed on, slowing down his pace as he walked towards the Jia Nan Academy, located in the middle of the city.

As he slowly walked down that vast road, Xiao Yan felt the usual atmosphere of the city and heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Fortunately this place is not at all similar to ‘Black Corner’ Region…

He once again walked through the road. In the distance, he seemed to be able to see the faint outline of the ancient academy …

"Stop that guy!"

Xiao Yan had just turned a turn, when a shout suddenly shot out from a place not far in front of him. A small disturbance immediately appeared on the street with a large group of people forming a circle and being judged as they watched the fight inside.

Xiao Yan's gaze led to a circle of people, who were watching the show, but did not move any closer. His palm gently patted the great Heavy Xuan Ruler on his back, as his footsteps began to lead him around the crowd at the same speed.

Just as Xiao Yan was about to directly walk towards the academy in the distance, an angry cold laughter in the human crowd caused Xiao Yan to suddenly stop his steps.

“Ma Yan, don't waste your efforts. You really want to chase after my cousin's sister with that power of yours? "

“Bocah, if you don't want to do well. We don't need his life, but he has to see red! " After a cold laugh was heard, another voice that looked angry from embarrassment sounded. Immediately, a muffled sound of flesh came into contact from within the human crowd.

Xiao Yan turned his back on the crowd. He was silent for a moment as he heard a muffled sound that emerged from within the circle before he softly sighed and immediately turned around.

Among the crowd, a blue-clothed young man, who was around eighteen or nineteen years old, exchanged blows with some of the men around him, while his eyes were filled with anger. Looking at the Dou Qi seeping out of the young man's body, it seemed that he was at the Dou Shi class. However, the four young men who surrounded and attacked him clearly possessed strength that was no weaker than him. Therefore, the blue-clothed youth was harmed. His face occasionally suffered blows, and traces of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.

“Bang!”

Another wave of clashes occurred. One of the youths coldly and viciously kicked the lower abdomen of the blue-clothed youth. The last part of the back of the body immediately began to curl up. Although the four youths saw that he did not have the ability to retaliate, they showed no signs of stopping in the slightest. Four legs moved simultaneously. In a cunning and vile manner, they violently kicked the body of the blue-clothed youth.

"Bang, bang, bang …"

The legs, which contained ferocious strength, were all around the ground on the body of the blue-clothed youth, when a black shadow suddenly flashed. After which, it collided strongly with all four of its legs. Four horrible screams were immediately released. The four of them hugged their thighs and rolled in pain on the ground.

After the black shadow pushed the four people backwards, it turned into a huge black ruler that was inserted into the hard ground. The blue-clothed youth hugged his lower abdomen, and stood with great difficulty. His expression was somewhat pale as he cupped his hands towards the black-robed young man, whose back was facing towards him, "Master, thank you very much."

"Xiao Ning, you have far less strength compared to the last time I saw you two years ago." The black-robed young man slowly turned around. He looked at the blue-clothed youth, whose face was stunned at the first one, while speaking with a faint smile.

Xiao Ning's. This blue-clothed youth was actually Xiao Ning, who had a grudge with Xiao Yan in the Xiao clan back then!

“You... You are Xiao Yan?” Xiao Ning's face was completely full as she stared at the face that she had not seen for two years. He finally recovered a while later, but still had trouble believing the situation.

"I don't think you'll recognize me." Xiao Yan laughed. Although he had some grudges with this person, whom he had not really met when they were young, he was no longer the impulsive child he used to be. Those things had naturally disappeared a long time ago. Moreover, no matter what happened, the person in front of him had a blood relationship with him.

“How can I forget. Young cousin Xiao Yan.

Xiao Ning laughed bitterly. He looked at Xiao Yan in front of him, feeling a complicated emotion. Now that he had been messing around outside for two years, he was no longer a child either. Only in the outside world, which contained all sorts of people, did he feel that the experience in the clan back then was the most precious memory in his heart. No matter how one put it, one's relatives were ultimately a little closer to oneself.

"Sister cousin Xiao Ning." Seeing the apologetic smile that Xiao Ning gave her, Xiao Yan also smiled. He patted the last shoulder.

"These people?" Xiao Yan turned his gaze towards the four people who were rolling around on the ground and asked.

“Isn't it still because of Xun Er? These people know about our relationship and keep trying all sorts of ways to get the news about Xun Er from me. It's too troublesome. However, they did not dare to attack me in the academy. Today, when I went out to buy something, I was coincidentally spotted by these people." Xiao Ning was somewhat helpless. Apparently, this is not the first time this has happened.

“Hee hee, Xun Er is amazing. A woman goes through many changes as she grows up. She's more beautiful now. There were a lot of people who fell in love with her during these two years. I thought you'd be surprised to see her again, too." Xiao Ning said with a laugh.

“How big a change a child?” Xiao Yan shook his head and laughed softly. When he said such old words, he forgot that he was also only eighteen years old.

"If you say these words in the academy, others will gang up against you .." Xiao Ning rolled her eyes. His expression suddenly changed as he recalled something. He then grabbed Xiao Yan and ran towards the entrance of the academy, “Damn, I have actually forgotten. Today was the Inner Academy Qualifying Competition. Instructor Ruo Lin was unable to withstand Xun Er's spoiled interference and took the risk of being promoted to Xuan class instructor by listing your name. If you are not present like last year, Instructor Ruo Lin can forget about being promoted for the next three years."

“Uh? He still wrote my name?” Xiao Yan's face was completely dumbfounded.

“Ah, however, even if you arrive here on time, I don't think it will help much. The Inner Academy Qualifying Competition was no ordinary competition. All who had the qualifications to participate were among the best disciples in the academy. Without at least the strength of a seven star Dou Shi, one would probably be eliminated once he entered the competition arena. " The hurried running speed of Xiao Ning slowed down as she sighed.

Xiao Yan was surprised. He opened his mouth, but before he could speak, Xiao Ning continued, “Forget it, forget it. Being able to come is better than being absent. Even if you lose, Instructor Ruo Lin will only lose this promotion opportunity. There's still another chance next time.. ”.

As soon as he finished saying those words, Xiao Ning pulled Xiao Yan with great force and quickly ran towards the ancient academy.

As the grand event of the Jia Nan Academy, the so-called Inner Academy Qualifying Competition was naturally the most eye-catching event. Moreover, famous people in the academy would appear in this qualification competition. Male and female students who are seen as idols of others, as well as the source of their worship, are undoubtedly a great source of attraction.

Therefore, the stadium used by the academy was crammed and filled with people, even though the academy had prepared the biggest one to be used in the competition. Countless students from the Jia Nan Academy were jostling and bumping heads as they stormed the seats of the stadium. At a glance, it was like a pitch-black sea (hair) and sound shot into the clouds.

The vast open ground was circular. The area surrounding the open ground was a set of stone stairs, which repeatedly spread upward. It looks like an arena. The sea of people sitting around the arena could clearly see the entire place.

Currently, there were two human figures on the open ground. One man and one woman. The two blinked and exchanged blows. The ferocious Dou Qi ripples shrank and exploded from the point where their palms touched, causing those around who were sitting in the spectacle gallery to often issue******* in shock. However, clearly over half the gazes in the spectacle gallery came to a halt on the beautiful figure wearing a pale green dress, with her beautiful body flashing and moving in a light and elegant manner.

The two human figures were engaged in one risky exchange after another. The pale green-colored figure suddenly stopped. His hands are shining brightly. It carried a beam of light as it imprinted on the young man's chest. A powerful force instantly shook the latter until he was pushed out of the battle arena.

“Senior, thank you for giving way!” The green-clothed young lady smiled after defeating the opponent with a single blow. He bowed towards the man, who was quite handsome, so much so that no one could find fault in his attitude.

“Junior Xun Er does deserve to be the student with the greatest potential this time around. I lost." Even though the handsome young man lost, he was frank. Smiling, his gaze watched the green-clothed young lady, who was like a lotus, causing people to become relaxed and happy. He immediately retreated in a free and easy manner.

“Xun Er won this round!”

The green-clothed young lady turned around and jumped down from the competition stage only after she heard a shout that sounded from the Referee Platform.

“Xun Er, passable!” After the green-clothed young lady got off the stage, a woman from the spectacle gallery waved at her.

“Instructure Ruo Lin.” Xun Er ignored the hot gaze that shot towards her from around her, and ran to that specially arranged spectacle gallery and shouted with a smile. He immediately turned his gaze towards the group of women, who were at the side of the observation platform, and smiled as he said, "Cousin Xiao Yu."

“Small girl is getting stronger. You can actually even defeat that Mo Wen. Looks like you can definitely enter the Academy within this year. ” A beautiful woman wearing a pale purple academy uniform smiled as she walked over. As he walked, his pair of long, soft legs wrapped in leggings immediately attracted some hot gazes, which were originally staring at Xun Er. Those long, alluring legs were truly murderous weapons when it came to attracting men.

"Hopefully." Xun Er smiled. After he greeted the women behind Xiao Yu, he pulled Xiao Yu's hand, sat down beside Instructor Ruo Lin and softly spoke with a smile.

"Cousin Xiao Yu, that ... has Xiao Yan ge-ge not come yet?" Xun Er asked gently as her eyes glanced towards Instructor Ruo Lin to the side that looked relaxed. However, the latter's eyebrows had some anxiety between them.

[TL: ge-ge – older brother or used to call friends/older male relatives (last usually used affectionately by women)]

"Yes." Yeah." Xiao Yu also sighed softly upon hearing this. He immediately tightened his fists as he gently reprimanded, “I also don't know exactly what that person was doing. At the time, we agreed that he could only take a year off. Now, he had been doing it for two whole years. After all, he's still absent this year … "

"He should get here soon." Xun Er gently bit her lips as she replied.

“I also hope so.. but today is the competition. If he still does not exist, Instructor Ruo Lin.. ” Xiao Yu laughed bitterly.

While the two were secretly whispering in private, three rounds of battle had passed. A man went on stage in the fourth round. The long spear in his hand landed on the ground with great force. His somewhat hot gaze swept towards where Xun Er was without any intention of covering her up.

"Xuan Class – Third Class, Xue Beng against Huang Class – Second class .. Xiao Yan!"

As the voice from the referee seat fell, the noisy open ground suddenly became much quieter. Countless gazes were thrown into the position where the second grade Huang – class was located. During these two years, this name of Xiao Yan, had been remembered firmly by all the students and even the instructors of the Jia Nan Academy. After all, this was the first time they had met the thorny student, who had directly taken a two-year leave since the establishment of the Jia Nan Academy.

Of course, the bigger reason was during the Academy Qualifying Competition In the latter, just that it was a name that did not exist. Therefore, now that they heard this name again, everyone's gaze was fixed on where Xun Er's group was sitting. Due to Xun Er's outstanding performance in the academy, she had many suitors. However, during these two years, there was still no one who could move his heart. The only form of address, the one that could be heard the most from his mouth, was the one called Xiao Yan ge-ge. This extremely affectionate speech naturally caused Xiao Yan, who had never shown himself, to become a common enemy of everyone.

When faced with the countless gazes that were shot out, some cold sweat involuntarily appeared on Instructor Ruo Lin's delicate forehead. His fists were also clenched tightly as his eyes swept around him, hoping that the figure, which he had cherished so much two years ago would appear once again like a savior.

The open ground, which had become quiet, also caused Xun Er and Xiao Yu to become anxious. They exchanged glances and saw some anxiety from within each other's eyes.

“Xiao Yan huh .. a coward who doesn't even dare to reveal himself and let a girl receive unnecessary criticism. This guy, won't do it.” A white-clothed young man on the stage watched, who did not look bad, shook his head and said weakly, "He is unfit for Xun Er …"

The white-clothed youth was surprisingly the one who met Xun Er at the foot of the mountain a few days earlier. He seemed to be called Bai Shan, one of the outstanding people among the younger students in the Jia Nan Academy. His strength was not much weaker than Xun Er.

“Chi, this is the guy Xun Er always talks about endlessly? Is the zodiac a turtle? If someone follows this kind of man, wouldn't it be better to follow me? What's so good about that stinky guy? They only think with the lower half of their body." In another excellent location in the spectacle gallery, a young woman wearing a red dress crossed her arms in front of her chest. His back was leaning against the iron pipe with his charming curves looking very alluring against the background of the straight iron pipe. His current could not help but pursed his lips as he stared at the open ground where there was actually no one who came out to engage in a fight. There was a hint of disdain as he spoke with a cold smile.

“Little magician, sit down properly. Acting presumptuous in public, where's your civility?” A white-haired old man beside the red-clothed young lady could not help but blow his beard furiously as he looked at his posture and his independent special words.

The red-clothed lady unceremoniously rolled her eyes towards this old man, who clearly had a fairly high position in the Jia Nan Academy as she coldly snorted, "To think that you are still the Vice Principal of the Outer Academy. If it was up to me, I would have long kicked Xiao Yan out of the academy. Two years off. Huh. So arrogant. "

“No choice. The girl Xun Er insisted on protecting the little boy." The old man shook his head helplessly. He immediately voiced his thoughts: “However, if he is still absent this year, then I really have no other choice. The rules of Jia Nan Academy cannot be broken. ”.

“Don't tell me you wish Xiao Yan could show up in the last few minutes?” The red-clothed young lady looked at the old man with a glance as she said.

"I really hope so.." The old man sighed. He slowly closed his eyes and waited for this joke to end.

After the silent atmosphere continued for two minutes, some private conversations finally began to appear.

"Ah, this bastard did not keep his promise." Xiao Yu sighed and gently cursed as he looked at the face full of disappointment from Instructor Ruo Ling, who was sitting next to him.

Xun Er looked down. He pulled up Instructor Ruo Lin's sleeve and softly said, “Instructure, sorry..”.

“Ke Ke, you don't have to blame yourself. This matter has nothing to do with you. " Instructor Ruo Ling patted Xun Er's hand and forcefully gave a comforting smile, “It's okay. At most, I'll wait another three years … "

" Let's go. " Instructor Ruo Lin stood up and said to Xiao Yu and Xun Er. Looking at his slightly reddened eyes, it seemed that he was not as free and as easy as he had imagined with his mouth.

A group of men and women from the same class also let out a disappointed sigh as they stood up, preparing to leave the stadium. However, they had just stood up when Xun Er's beautiful body suddenly stiffened. Her pretty face suddenly lifted as she muttered, "She is here …"

"Uh? What's?" By his side, Xiao Yu and the others were shocked, for not hearing clearly.

“Xiu!”

The moment Xiao Yu's question fell, the sound of an ear-piercing rushing wind suddenly appeared on the open ground, attracting everyone's gazes.

The moment the sound of a strong wind appeared, a black figure suddenly fell from the sky and suddenly smashed into the open ground. The hard ground instantly shattered into powder, which surged and enveloped a small area.

"Who is this?" Looking at the black shadow that had darted, the young man carrying the spear named Xue Beng could not help his cold cry.

Xun Er's gaze stared intently at the area hidden within the dust. Excitement as he had trouble hiding filled his face, "He's here!"

When they heard these words of Xun Er, the pretty bodies of Instructor Ruo Lin, as well as Xiao Yu and the others trembled. Their gazes immediately turned to the area in the open field.

Under the countless gazes, the soft sound of footsteps could be heard from within the dust. On the completely silent open ground, the sound of footsteps was like something stepping on people's hearts, causing their hearts to beat faster.

"Boom, boom." The soft voice gradually became clearer. A black-robed young man carrying a huge black ruler on his back faintly appeared from within the dust. A moment later, he finally appeared under everyone's gaze!

“Huang Class – second class, Xiao Yan!”

The black-robed young man took a step forward and raised his head slightly. The faint voice of his was like thunder as it echoed in the ears of everyone present.
