BTTH: Starting with the Complete Memories of Yao Chen

Chapter 122: Talents So High They Arouse Suspicion 

To pass the inner courtyard selection competition, one only needed to rank in the top fifty.

For an outer courtyard student, having the strength of a high-rank Dou Master was more than enough.

Of course, if two advanced Dou Masters unfortunately met in the early rounds, there was nothing to be done.

Given Xiao Yi Xian's cultivation speed, reaching Dou Master level within six months shouldn't be a problem.

Su Yun carefully calculated the time, his gaze fixed on the distance.

As time passed, there was only one year left until the plot officially began with Xiao Yan's broken engagement.

He had read Dou Po Cang Qiong (Battle Through the Heavens) many times, and as events he had read about approached, he felt a mixture of emotions.

But that was all. He wasn't concerned with Xiao Yan's future achievements.

He was only thinking about how many times he could "harvest" this promising individual.

Some things couldn't be taken lightly.

For example, the first stage of the Tian Huo San Xuan Transformation. Who knew when it would appear in the Jia Ma Empire?

He had searched for it while still in the Jia Ma Empire but found nothing.

It was truly frustrating.

If he followed the original timeline, it would take another four years.

Su Yun took a deep breath and decided to focus on the present.

After a day, they finally arrived at the outer courtyard of Jia Nan Academy.

The group disembarked from the flying magical beast and, under Ruolin's arrangement, settled into their accommodations.

Unlike the universities in his previous life, Jia Nan Academy's dormitories were single rooms.

However, Xiao Yi Xian blushingly asked if they could share a room, and Ruolin's eyes flashed with a mischievous light before she agreed.

Jia Nan's dormitory management was very lax; as long as things were settled, there were no strict rules.

Thus, the two began another round of cohabitation.

Su Yun had no intention of attending the so-called courses, as they were of no use to him. With Ruolin's permission, it wouldn't be an issue.

Xiao Yi Xian, on the other hand, was eager to participate in combat courses.

Su Yun agreed, knowing that she hadn't engaged in any serious battles yet.

Having Dou Qi alone wasn't enough.

Su Yun selected a few combat techniques from his memory to teach Xiao Yi Xian.

As for himself, he planned to stay in the room and train diligently.

While Su Yun intended to immerse himself in cultivation, Jia Nan Academy was abuzz with his arrival.

In a room filled with bookshelves, several elders sat around a table discussing.

An elder seated at the head of the table, holding a document, stroked his white beard.

"Nearly fourteen years old and already a five-star Dou Spirit. Where did this monster come from? Compared to that, this fifteen-year-old seven-star Dou Practitioner seems quite ordinary."

The surrounding elders exchanged glances.

One elder couldn't help but speak up.

"Is it possible that this person lied about their age?"

The elder at the head, named Hu Gan, the vice-principal of the outer courtyard with peak Dou Huang strength, frowned and thought for a moment.

"Well... it's unlikely. Ruolin used a secret method to test him, and there were no issues. But we can't rule out the possibility that he used some other means to deceive Ruolin."

The others began to discuss the matter fervently.

They couldn't ignore this issue.

They preferred to believe someone had used tricks to deceive Ruolin rather than accepting a nearly fourteen-year-old Dou Spirit.

If it was indeed the latter, they had to be cautious. Jia Nan Academy was a large and wealthy institution, often targeted by others.

If this person caused any problems, it would be their failure.

However, after a long discussion, they couldn't reach any conclusions.

Finally, Hu Gan spoke up.

"Alright, the world is full of wonders. A genius from a major power in Zhongzhou could reach such heights. If we doubt someone simply because of their talent, it would be inappropriate. If this gets out, people might think Jia Nan Academy has never seen a true genius. But we can't ignore the possibility of false age reporting. I'll personally test him tomorrow."

Hearing this, the others nodded in agreement.

The elders agreed that if this person's methods were so advanced that he could deceive even a peak Dou Huang, then Jia Nan Academy would have to accept it.

The next day, Ruolin knocked on Su Yun and Xiao Yi Xian's door.

Xiao Yi Xian opened the door, looking at Ruolin with confusion.

"Instructor Ruolin?"

"Yes."

Ruolin's face always bore a gentle, water-like smile.

"Could you please ask Su Yun to come out? The Vice Principal wants to see him."

"Okay."

Xiao Yi Xian nodded and called Su Yun out.

Su Yun greeted Ruolin.

Ruolin nodded and got straight to the point.

"Follow me, the Vice Principal wants to see you."

Su Yun understood and instructed Xiao Yi Xian before leaving with Ruolin.

As they walked, Su Yun asked.

"Instructor, do you know why the Vice Principal wants to see me?"

Ruolin shook her head.

"I don't know, I was just told to bring you over. But I guess it has to do with your cultivation. Your talent is quite extraordinary."

Su Yun's mouth twitched.

He hadn't expected that having high talent would bring such troubles.

But he said nothing more. In this Northwestern Continent, this was to be expected.

He gradually understood that if he were the protagonist of a fanfiction, his storyline would be an unstoppable dragon-slaying saga!

After a while, they arrived at a door.

Ruolin stopped and turned to Su Yun.

"Go ahead, I'll wait here."

Su Yun nodded, stepped forward, and knocked on the door.

A deep, old voice responded.

"Come in."

Su Yun pushed the door open and entered, closing it behind him. An elderly figure came into view.

Su Yun used the system's scanning function.

He nodded to himself.

The person before him was indeed Hu Gan, the Vice Principal of the outer courtyard and a peak Dou Huang.

Su Yun took the initiative to speak.

"Vice Principal."

A kind smile appeared on Hu Gan's withered face as he studied Su Yun, feeling a bit shocked.

Such a strong Dou Qi fluctuation, indeed a five-star Dou Spirit.

Hu Gan's gaze fell on Su Yun's exceptionally young face.

If the information was correct, Jia Nan Academy had truly struck gold this time.

"Your name is Su Yun?"

"Yes."

After some pleasantries, Hu Gan got to the point.

"The main reason I called you here is to confirm your age. Given your talent, I'm sure you've encountered this situation before."

Su Yun subtly rolled his eyes.

Actually, no, he had always used an alias.

Though he thought this, he nodded.

"Yes, Vice Principal, go ahead. I'm used to it."

Hu Gan smiled and nodded. Based on Su Yun's attitude, he was almost certain that they had indeed struck gold this time!
