Outside the Ghost Town, tents were set up, hosting a large group of people stationed there.

Within one of the tents, Lu Yunxiao stood silently with a book in hand, quietly observing.

"Yunxiao, can I come in?" a gentle voice sounded from outside the tent, grabbing Lu Yunxiao's attention.

Putting down the book, Lu Yunxiao replied calmly, "Come in."

As the words fell, the graceful figure of Teacher Ruo Ling appeared. She walked lightly, carrying a tray of steaming grilled meat.

"It's already noon, and I noticed you hadn't eaten yet, so I brought some for you," Teacher Ruo Ling said in a gentle tone, setting the tray down.

"Thank you, Teacher Ruo lin. I got carried away reading and lost track of time," Lu Yunxiao replied.

"Teacher Ruo Ling, please, take a seat."

Lu Yunxiao pulled out a chair and invited her.

"Sure." Teacher Ruo Ling smiled and took a seat.

Lu Yunxiao took the tray and began eating the grilled meat slowly. It wasn't extraordinary, but it tasted decent. The precision in its cooking didn't resemble the rough style of the other men; it seemed more like something Teacher Ruo Ling would personally prepare.

Thinking about it, Teacher Ruo Ling had indeed been very kind to him, and Lu Yunxiao appreciated her care. He aimed to perform exceptionally well at the academy as a way of repaying her kindness. He knew Teacher Ruo Ling was aiming for a higher rank among the Teachers, and his outstanding performance might significantly benefit her rank evaluation.

Watching Lu Yunxiao eat, Teacher Ruo Ling smiled softly. Besides their Teacher-student relationship, she saw Lu Yunxiao as a younger brother figure, one that was quite likable.

"By the way, Teacher Ruo Ling, we've been here for two days now, and the other admission teams have all arrived. When will jia Nan Academy's guard team finally arrive?" Lu Yunxiao, after a few bites, couldn't help but ask.

"By the timing, they should be arriving soon. Getting a bit bored? You have so many beautiful senior sisters keeping you company. Are you bored even with that?" Teacher Ruo Ling teased, blinking playfully.

Lu Yunxiao sighed, a bit helpless. "Teacher Ruo Ling, can you not say that? I feel like they're a group of female rogues."

With the arrival of the admission teams, both new and old students increased in number. Most of the older students were acquainted with each other. Soon enough, many students became aware of the genius who surpassed the S-rank.

This attracted curiosity, especially among the female students. Led by a few senior sisters who knew Lu Yunxiao, they came in groups to see him, treating it like an exhibit. Their conversations were bold, teasing him frequently, which left Lu Yunxiao exasperated. These women were truly terrifying.

"Hehehe!" Hearing Lu Yunxiao's words, Teacher Ruo Ling couldn't help but chuckle. After laughing for a while, she looked at him with a smile and said gently, "Ordinary people never get such treatment. I've been a Teacher for many years and never seen a student as popular with girls as you are."

"Moreover, Yunxiao, tell the truth to the Teacher. With so many senior sisters, is there really not one you find appealing?" Teacher Ruo Ling asked, curious, locking eyes with Lu Yunxiao.

"Teacher Ruo Ling, why are you so curious? Is this something that interests you?" Lu Yunxiao said, his eyes twitching, sounding a bit annoyed.

"I'm just curious, and besides, why be shy in front of your teacher? If you genuinely like someone, I can help with introductions," Teacher Ruo Ling said, smiling.

"I really don't have anyone in mind." Lu Yunxiao shook his head, sighing softly as he looked at Teacher Ruo Ling's amused expression.

"Really?"

"Yes, really."

"What a pity. Are they not pretty enough for you? Oh, I remember!"

Suddenly, as if a realization struck her, Teacher Ruo Ling slapped her thigh in excitement, saying, "Speaking of beauty, I have a very beautiful female student under me. She's single. Would you like me to introduce her to you?"

"I think that won't be necessary," Lu Yunxiao waved his hand, declining.

"Of course, of course! Once we're at Jia Nan Academy, I'll introduce her to you," Teacher Ruo Ling said, brimming with excitement.

Lu Yunxiao: "..."

...

Just as Teacher Ruo Ling mentioned, in the afternoon, the Jia Nan Academy's guard team finally arrived.

A series of three-tiered Gryphon Beasts carried over two hundred guard members, each emitting a ferocious aura. Clearly, they were battle-hardened warriors.

Among these guards, more than 150 were Dou Zhe's, their presence surpassing that of five-star Dou Zhe's.

Around forty individuals were at the Dou Shi level, exuding formidable and icy killing intent.

Ten individuals were at the Da Dou Shi level, each standing tall and emitting an imposing aura.

The most striking were undoubtedly the three leaders, two men and one woman, each emanating a deep and powerful presence. Their mere posture exuded an extraordinary aura.

Without exception, all three were Dou Ling.

Dou Ling were already the most powerful beneath Dou Wang. Even within Jia Nan Academy, Dou Wang held positions as elders.

Three Dou Ling personally guarded the group. Unless there was an accident, no one would deliberately provoke them in the Black-Corner Region, as the strength of a Dou Ling was truly extraordinary.

Jia Nan Academy dispatching three Dou Ling to guard the new students showed their utmost concern for the students' safety.

"So, this is Jia Nan Academy's guard team, indeed an elite force. Those three at the front should be Dou Ling, especially the sole female Dou Ling; her level might be at the Seven-Star or even Eight-Star Dou Ling, quite a skilled individual," Lu Yunxiao whispered, watching the arriving guard team.

"Yunxiao, your observation skills are impressive. You can even discern their specific levels?" Next to Lu Yunxiao, Teacher Ruo Ling, hearing his whisper, appeared somewhat surprised.

"I've seen similar auras before, so I can tell," Lu Yunxiao replied calmly.

After Hai Bodong was sealed, dropping from a five-star Dou Huang to an eight-star Dou Ling, the female Dou Ling's aura didn't differ much from Hai Bodong's, an aura familiar to Lu Yunxiao. Thus, it wasn't challenging for him to recognize her strength.
