Battle Through The Heavens Season 5
Ch. 37 - Law Enforcement Unit: Wu Hao

As he heard the thunder-like cheers that sounded from the surrounding observation gallery, Xiao Yan smiled as he cupped his hands together and said to the bitter-looking Lu Mu, "Thank you, thank you, Senior Lu Mu for being lenient to me."

"What's soft, lose ya lose. Nothing can be denied. The openness of my mind is not something that most people can compare with." Lu Mu rolled his eyes and immediately said with a bitter smile, "But little brat, I didn't expect you to actually hide your strength so deeply. You might actually be able to enter the top five. I'll come ask your advice if there's a chance in the future."

As soon as he said that, Lu Mu cupped his hands towards Xiao Yan, turned his body to the exit of the stadium, and walked in a very firm manner.

"This person is also quite honest and much better when compared to that Bai Shan. I can be friends with him if I get a chance." Xiao Yan looked at that back, and smiled faintly. He raised his head, and glanced in the direction where Bai Shan was sitting, coincidentally coming into contact with the coldness of the other party's eyes. Just then, Xiao Yan's dislike and caution towards this person became much denser.

Xiao Yan inserted the Heavy Xuan Ruler into his back, turned around and descended from the competition stage. After which, he entered the area where the Huang Class - Second Class was seated, under countless hot gazes, only to find that a group of young ladies, were, which he had only seen once yesterday, had appeared there. When these agile young ladies saw Xiao Yan return, their eyes immediately became starry as they advanced to surround him. The sound of their chatter caused Xiao Yan, who had just had a great fight, to feel a little dizzy.

"All right, all right, you all calm down." Seeing Xiao Yan surrounded by a group of beautiful and beautiful young ladies, Instructor Ruo Lin shook his head helplessly. He could only speak and pull the minds of these young ladies with an adoring gaze back.

"Ha ha, no wonder Xun Er jie-jie never paid attention to another man during these two years in the academy. You really have an amazing person in your heart." A young woman jumped to Xun Er's side, and teased with a beautiful laugh.

The moment she heard this, an alluring hue appeared on Xun Er's beautiful face. His instant and charming style even caused Instructor Ruo Lin, who was standing beside him, to feel his heart move, let alone the male disciples around them whose eyes suddenly turned straight.

Xiao Yan smiled and took two steps forward to sit beside Xun Er. He sniffed the body scent transmitted from the young lady beside him and felt an envious gaze darting from around him, causing him to be unable to help but suddenly feel a little dazed. Back then, during that period of time in Wu Tan City, when he was a useless person, the surrounding gazes were always filled with ridicule and arrogance as he walked with Xun Er. At that time, most likely the people were thinking: Does this frog not feel ashamed by walking next to a beautiful goose?

Now, after two years of training hard, there was no longer anyone who used the gaze back then to look at him when he walked beside Xun Er again. This was because the talent and strength that Xiao Yan was currently showing fully gave her the qualification to be comparable to Xun Er, this girl was favored by the heavens.

This is the difference between having the ability, and not having it!

Back then, he always said at all times that he was working hard for a three-year deal. However, deep in his heart, he was also thinking of working hard and increasing his own strength, so that there would be no more people using such expressions to look at him when he was together with Xun Er in the future. .

Three years had passed since he became a useless person. During these three years, Xiao Yan had relied on his own efforts to fulfill his desire to successfully defeat Nalan Yanran, and allowed himself to have the qualifications to be together with Xun Er!

Xiao Yan let out a long sigh. He tilted his head towards Xun Er, whose gaze was staring at the competition within the arena. Being shining in the dim sunlight, the current Xun Er was almost entirely wrapped in a golden halo, looking calm and gentle, like a beautiful image. This caused a poisoning, which emerged from his heart, to flash across Xiao Yan's eyes. The two years of lonely training had allowed Xiao Yan to understand that the girl in front of him was the one with the deepest trace in his heart!

This trace was imprinted firmly when he was young. In fact, Xun Er had always said that if not for the foolish Xiao Yan entering her room when they were little, and using her Dou Qi, which she had not mastered at all, to warm up his seemingly weak body and continue to do so. For several years, how could he really put Xiao Yan deep in his heart? However, he also maintained the same warmth and respect towards Xiao Yan when he was at his saddest moments, causing Xiao Yan's deepest heart, which far exceeded that of people his age, to exceed that of his, to be completely open to this girl who only displays her kindness and cuteness to her.

Xiao Yan's hand slowly moved under the table and extended a hand. He finally grabbed Xun Er's seemingly boneless little hand and felt a smooth and delicate palm. The depths of Xiao Yan's heart shook gently.

Xun Er's beautiful body trembled gently as Xiao Yan suddenly clasped her small hand. He used his gaze and looked somewhat guilty as he looked at Instructor Ruo Lin, Xiao Yu, and the others nearby. He only heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that none of them had discovered Xiao Yan's actions. Turning his head towards Xiao Yan, he said softly, annoyed, "Xiao Yan ge-ge."

"You're mine. No matter how big the faction behind you is, I will definitely not give up!" The hand, which was holding that delicate little hand, stiffened slightly. Xiao Yan used a voice that only the two of them could hear as he slowly spoke. Although his voice was calm, it was not difficult to hear the arrogant feeling and determination from within.

Even with Xun Er's indifference, she couldn't act as if nothing had happened under Xiao Yan's sudden words. His face was as red as an apple. For the first time in several years, a wave that could not be hidden appeared in his heart, one that did not rustle, like an old well.

"Xun Er, is something wrong?" Xun Er's unusual expression did not escape Instructor Ruo Lin's gaze at the side. He was initially startled before his gaze immediately floated down and coincidentally saw the hand of Xiao Yan, who was hurriedly pulled back. A subtle redness was also visible on his face. He helplessly shook his head and appeared to be talking to himself: "Young man, you must control yourself in public. Although I know your relationship with Xun Er is an intimate one, you should not provoke a male disciple who has intentions towards Xun Er in such a public place. If you do, you will provoke a riot, I want to see if you can hold a thousand people alone."

Xiao Yan smiled awkwardly, but did not dare to interrupt. He hurriedly directed his gaze to the fierce battle in the arena.

Beside him Xun Er also quickly withdrew her spinning heart, as she guiltily glanced at Instructor Ruo Lin by her side. After which, he also turned his gaze back to the arena, where the fight was going on.

"Ah, this girl. He could be so indifferent when dealing with outsiders, but in front of Xiao Yan, he was no different from a little girl who was in love. It was truly one person who gave up on others. I really do not know how this Xiao Yan person managed to attract the heart of a girl like Xun Er. " Instructor Ruo Ling looked at the rest of the redness, which was still on Xun Er's face, and shook her head while smiling bitterly in her heart. TL: one thing give up on another – everything in this world has a weakness

As the names rang out from the judge's mouth, numerous human figures repeatedly flashed into the arena. After undergoing an intense or boring fight, the winner would have an excited face, whereas the loser would retreat from the arena dejectedly.

As one round after one round of competition passed, the originally one hundred and seventy-plus people had been gradually eliminated until there were only sixty more people left. If this continued for a few more rounds, it was likely that the names of those who had the qualifications to enter the Inner Academy would be born.

"Round forty-first: Xuan Class – First Class, Yan Cheng ... Law Enforcement Unit, Wu Hao!"

However, when the name for the next fight in the arena was announced again, the stadium suddenly became much quieter. Under the pressure of certain famous names, the students in the spectacle gallery inevitably lowered their voices.

"Law Enforcement Unit, Wu Hao ..." Xiao Yan slowly repeated this name. He turned his head towards Instructor Ruo Ling and said, "In my opinion, this person should have been the one mentioned by Instructor the other day?"

"Ah." Instructor Ruo Ling's face became a little more serious. He softly said, "This Wu Hao has quite a good reputation in the Law Enforcement Unit. The number of people from ‘Black Corner’ Region who died on his hands over the past two years is at least over a hundred. His strength is quite frightening."

Xiao Yan nodded slightly. It seems like this is going to be a tough rival.

"In addition, I'll tell you something that will give you a headache. This Wu Hao had once seduced Xun Er, and even directly voiced his intentions in public. However, he was then rejected by Xun Er. Nonetheless, this fellow did not seem to give up." Instructor Ruo Ling teased, "Before you arrive at the academy, this Wu Hao is seen by Bai Shan as his strongest love rival. Unfortunately, these two people, who were considered by many in the academy as the ones who were most likely to seduce Xun Er, failed because of your appearance."

'Beautiful women are the root of the problem.' Xiao Yan laughed bitterly as he shook his head. His gaze was immediately drawn to the arena. At this moment, there was already a young man standing within it. With his incredible vision, Xiao Yan could clearly see the bitterness on the face of this young man.

"He was able to make his opponent feel fear in their hearts before even appearing. This Wu Hao..." Xiao Yan muttered in his heart. His eyes, which were staring at the arena, shrieked. On the opposite side of the young man, there was a human figure, whose entire body was wrapped in a blood-red robe, standing on the originally empty stone surface. It seemed like he was a ghost that had suddenly appeared.

"A frightening speed. This guy is so strong!" Xiao Yan's eyes stared intently at the blood-red human figure, and a rare seriousness swept across his face.

The moment the blood-robed human figure appeared, the originally noisy stadium suddenly became silent. The bloody aroma slowly permeated the entire open ground.
