Chapter 55: A Group of Monsters
After the battle came to an end, Xiao Yan suddenly felt weak, and his vision went black as he collapsed to the ground.
Xiao Yan, are you okay?
Brother Xiao Yan!
Xiao Mei and Xiao Xuner rushed over with panic on their faces. Xiao Yu also came to Xiao Yans side, showing concern as he squatted down and frowned at Xiao Yan.
Are you alright?
Ah Im fine Xiao Yan forced himself to stay awake, squinting his eyes and forcing a smile. I just feel a bit weak, no need to worry.
You really
Relieved to see that Xiao Yan was indeed okay, Xiao Yu let out a sigh of relief. Then her gaze fell upon Xiao Yans left arm, which was still entangled by a whip.
At this moment, Ruo Ling also snapped out of her astonishment. Without saying a word, she retracted the whip and approached Xiao Yan, squatting down in front of him. Her fair jade-like hand gently stroked his purplish-blue arm, infusing it with life force through her water attribute Dou Qi to alleviate the injury.
In just a moment, the swelling and discoloration on Xiao Yans arm visibly subsided, and he also felt a significant reduction in the pain. He immediately clasped his fists and bowed to Ruo Ling.
Master Ruo Ling, thank you for your assis-Ugh!
Just as their hands made contact, Xiao Yans mouth twitched sharply as he once again felt the excruciating pain in his left arm.
At this moment, Ruo Ling spoke slowly.
Your arm bones are already fractured. All I can do is alleviate the pain for you. Go home and rest properly.
Master Ruo Ling, what about the one-year break
Xiao Yan looked at Ruo Ling and inquired. Ruo Ling let out a deep sigh and then smiled helplessly.
I have approved it. Go and do what you want to do. Just as we agreed beforehand, no matter how much trouble arises in the academy, I will handle it for you.
Thank you very much!
Xiao Yan expressed his thanks solemnly, and Ruo Ling shook her head lightly, standing up and looking at the others.
Todays enrollment is almost over. The qualified new students should gather here after seven days. For now, everyone should go home, rest, and pack their things, Ruo Ling said. She then looked at Xiao Yu and instructed her,
Remember to apply medicine to your cousins arm when you get home. It would be troublesome if there are any lingering effects.
Okay!
Xiao Yu nodded. Xiao Ning approached Xiao Yan and asked softly, Xiao Yan, can you get up?
Sorry I cant exert any strength
He exhausted all his strength, risking everything, and unleashed a punch with all his might.
Xiao Yan treated this competition as a real battle.
In contrast, the sense of disdain deep within myself towards Xiao Yan seemed ridiculous.
However, there was something else that bothered Ruo Ling.
Or rather, it was incongruous.
After seeing the outcome of the battle, including Xiao Yu, all the members of the Xiao Clan showed concern only for Xiao Yans physical condition. There wasnt much astonishment at Xiao Yans ability to overpower them.
Was it because they were so worried about Xiao Yan that they forgot to be amazed?
Or did the younger generation of the Xiao Clan unconsciously normalize the vast difference in levels?
Suddenly, Ruo Ling remembered Xiao Nings words to Xiao Yan.
[With your fighting style, it would be strange if you could exert any strength now, but there is really no other way.]
In that instant, Ruo Ling couldnt help but feel a chill down her spine! She finally realized why she felt incongruous!
All the members of the Xiao Clan were concerned about Xiao Yan, but not a single person criticized his reckless fighting style!
In other words, not only Xiao Yan, but any member of the Xiao Clan would choose the same approach when facing her!
Clearly, this was just a competition! There was no need to go all out!
But they seemed completely indifferent to it, as if they were already accustomed to giving their all!
These younger generations of the Xiao Clan had no concept of prudence!!!
Xue Ni, Ruo Lings face darkened as she spoke softly, go with the others and clean up the area. We still have more enrollment in the coming days, so dont make it look too messy.
Yes!
Xue Ni immediately responded and called the others to clean up the shattered blue bricks and walls.
Ruo Ling turned around, her gaze fixed on the gates of the enrollment courtyard as the Xiao Clan members left, her beautiful eyes tightly furrowed.
Initially, she had been delighted to recruit so many geniuses.
But now, she felt a deep unease and fear about it.
These younger generations of the Xiao Clan cant simply be called as geniuses anymore; they were all monsters!
They couldnt be viewed with conventional common sense; they were a group of monsters.
