Chapter 142 Applying
If you want to be a teacher at Canaan College, although strength is not the first criterion, if you have no strength at all, you are obviously not qualified to be a teacher of so many young talents. You should know that the admission rules of Canaan College are quite strict, and it has its own set of rating standards. If you do not meet the standards, no matter how strong your background is, you are not qualified to study there.

Canaan College is famous throughout the Douqi Continent because of this. Basically, most of the students who graduate from it can become powerful people. Moreover, Canaan College is not like other sects. It does not have any restrictions on its students and they are free to come and go. This is extremely unique in the entire Douqi Continent.

After spending so much money and resources, the students trained are not bound to themselves and no freedom of students is restricted. This behavior is no different from running a charity.

However, it is precisely because of this that Canaan Academy has a very good reputation in the entire Douqi Continent, and even many imperial families are paying close attention to it.

Yao Yan heard the question from the gun-wielding young man, and after a moment's hesitation, he said softly, "Strength? He is currently a five-star Dou Wang, so he should be good enough to be a teacher at Canaan College."

Five-star Fighting King?!
As Yao Yan finished speaking, people could be heard gasping for air all around. Many passers-by showed surprised expressions. They obviously did not expect that the seemingly young man in front of them was actually a Dou Wang-level warrior. To them, Dou Wang was already considered a big shot.

Even in the Black Horn Region, the Dou Wang has a certain say and is not a lamb to be slaughtered.

The young man with the gun also had a serious expression at this moment. He looked at Yao Yan, who had a calm expression, and said solemnly: "I am Mu Yun, the captain of the Canaan College Law Enforcement Team. I cannot give an answer to your request. Whether to recruit new teachers requires the decision of the deans of the inner and outer colleges."

There was a pause.

He looked at Yao Yan and continued, "However, since you are a Dou Wang, you must be familiar with the rules of Canaan College. I hope you can explain your name, origin, etc., so that it will be convenient for me to inform the dean."

Mu Yun showed a certain amount of respect to the unfamiliar young Dou Wang in front of him.

Respecting the strong is never a shameful thing.

Yao Yan nodded slightly and said softly: "My name is Yao Yan, I am from Zhongzhou. I have heard about Canaan College since I was a child and I am quite interested in it. Now I am passing by Canaan College, so I came to take a look. If it is suitable, I would like to stay here for a while."

"Zhongzhou?!"

Being able to serve as members of the Canaan College law enforcement team, they are naturally familiar with Zhongzhou. Many of them have even decided to go to Zhongzhou in the future. After all, the prosperous Zhongzhou is where fighting spirit practitioners should stay. Whether it is resources or other things, they are unmatched by other places.

Since childhood?!
Hearing this, the young man with the gun looked at Yao Yan and couldn't help asking, "How old are you?"

"Almost 18~"

Yao Yan calculated the days and said.

As the words fell, the surroundings suddenly became quiet. This time, no one gasped, because they were all shocked. Some even instinctively felt that Yao Yan was lying. How could there be such a young Dou Wang powerhouse in the world?

Fortunately, the members of the Canaan Academy Law Enforcement Team are not ordinary people, and many of them know the situation in Zhongzhou. It is not surprising that some geniuses and evildoers appear in that kind of place. After all, there are occasionally some perverts in Canaan Academy who become Dou Wang powerful warriors before the age of 20.

"...I will send someone to inform the dean of the external department. Whether to agree to your request depends on the dean's opinion."

Mu Yun was silent for a while and said sullenly.

He felt a little powerless for a moment facing the Dou Wang powerful warrior who was younger than himself. He was obviously several years older than the other party, but the gap in strength between the two was so huge. There was a Dou Ling between the Grand Dou Master and the Dou Wang, plus the small level, the gap between the two was more than ten stars.

This kind of gap is hard to make up even with the help of the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower.

The Tianfen Refining Qi Tower can speed up the process of condensing fighting spirit, but it cannot change a person's talent.

He once thought of himself as a genius, but after entering Canaan College, Mu Yun realized that he was nothing and was gradually lost in the crowd. This is why he became the captain of the law enforcement team. Even after entering the Grand Fighter level, his cultivation speed slowed down further, and the bottleneck in cultivation that he once thought did not exist gradually appeared.

Just like a water tank, everyone's capacity is different. Some people can hold mountains, rivers and oceans, while others can't even hold a bucket of water.

We have to admit that people are different.

Yao Yan naturally had no idea what the young man with a gun was thinking. He nodded slightly and smiled gently, "Okay, I'll wait for his reply."

As Yao Yan and Mu Yun entered Heping Town, people around them began to whisper.

Including those members of the law enforcement team.

"Is this true? A five-star Dou Wang who is not even 18 years old, could he break through to Dou Huang before he turns 20? If this is true, perhaps all the cultivation records in the inner courtyard will be broken... No, he is from Zhongzhou and has never used the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower to cultivate!"

One person gossiped for a few words, then suddenly realized something and his expression changed slightly.

"Don't make a fuss. Maybe they have similar methods in Zhongzhou. Canaan College is not the only one in the world that has methods to help people practice. Compared to this matter, I am more curious about the attitudes of the two deans. If they really recruit him as a teacher, will he be a Huang-level or Xuan-level teacher?"

"Yao Yan? I don't remember a big family with the surname Yao in Zhongzhou..."

"Alright, alright, stop grumbling and get to work. There are a bunch of people waiting here!"

……

In a courtyard in Heping Town.

Yao Yan followed the gun-wielding youth to meet Huo De, the Yellow-rank mentor in charge of Heping Town. Huo De was a man in his early thirties, with a strength of five or six-star Dou Ling. After hearing what Mu Yun said, he was shocked. He looked Yao Yan up and down, and couldn't help asking, "Are you really eighteen years old this year?!"

Yao Yan nodded, too lazy to argue with the other party about the few months. Age never meant anything. He didn't really come to Canaan Academy to be a teacher. He mainly came to deal with the Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade and swallow the Fallen Heart Flame by the way.

"...I understand your request. I will arrange for someone to inform the dean. You will stay here for the time being. It shouldn't take long for the dean to arrive after hearing the news."

Hood swallowed, calmed down his emotions, and spoke calmly.

"It's okay. It doesn't matter a little time." Yao Yan's tone was quite gentle and friendly. He always treated strangers in a friendly manner.

Huo De personally made tea for Yao Yan and said with a smile: "You are just waiting, have some tea~"

"Thank you."

Yao Yan said politely. Huo De looked at the unassuming young Dou Wang in front of him and couldn't help but think in his heart: He is indeed a genius cultivated by a big family, he has an extraordinary demeanor~
As for whether the other party might be a person... this thought never occurred to Hood's mind at all. Without someone to train him, no matter how talented he was, it would be impossible for him to reach the Dou Wang level at the age of eighteen. The resources required during this period were enormous.

As a mentor at Canaan College, Hood is very clear about this. If Canaan College did not have such a unique "cultivation resource" as the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower, Canaan College would not have been able to train students for free.

I thought about it.

Huo De asked curiously, "May I ask, which family in Zhongzhou are you from?"

"It's a bit inconvenient, sorry."

Yao Yan shook his head slightly, and his words killed all the other party's curiosity.

Some things cannot be discussed, nor can they be known by too many people, otherwise it will only harm the other party, because the forces in the entire Douqi Continent are no match for the major imperial clans. To put it bluntly, whether the entire Douqi Continent is in chaos is entirely determined by the major imperial clans. As for the forces in the open, they are just more famous, just like the blacklist of the Black Horn Domain.

Hood was not angry either. He nodded slightly and sat quietly on the side, waiting for the arrival of the dean of Canaan College with Yao Yan.

About half an hour passed.

Hu Qian's figure appeared in the courtyard, but he came alone. As soon as he fell from the sky, his eyes stared at Yao Yan with some curiosity. Yao Yan was the only stranger in the whole room. Obviously, the other party was the Dou Wang genius who was under 18 years old.

"Meet the Dean! Yao Yan, this is the Dean of the External College of Canaan College. Whether you can become a tutor at Canaan College also needs his consent."

"Okay, there's nothing for you to do here. Go out. I want to talk to him alone."

Hu Qian waved his hand, signaling the other party to leave.

Then he stared at Yao Yan with a burning gaze, with a faint smile on his face, and said, "Yao Yan? How come I have never heard of a clan with the surname Yao in Zhongzhou?"

"Is it possible that your level is not high enough?"

Yao Yan looked at the old man in front of him with a hot temper and whispered a fact. Su Qian, the dean of the inner court of Canaan College, should be familiar with the several major imperial clans. In the original work, he had contact with people from the ancient clan and obviously had some understanding of them.

Of course, this understanding should not be much, otherwise Su Qian’s tone would not have been so firm.

Not everyone in this world has the courage to face the Fighting Saint.

It’s like when you start a business, and just after the company is established, you find out that your biggest competitor is a penguin. I’m sure you will be confused.

"...Boy, you really know how to talk!"

Hu Qian pulled the corner of his mouth and squeezed out a word from between his teeth. He had been in a depressed mood recently and did not expect that he would be provoked by a kid now. What did he mean by not being at the right level? After all, he was a strong man at the peak of the Nine-Star Douhuang level and only one step away from being a Dou Zong. Even in Zhongzhou, he was not considered a weakling.

Yao Yan smiled but did not argue with this "ignorant" old man because it was meaningless. He did not come to Canaan College to quarrel with the other party.

Hu Qian did not continue to dwell on this issue. He looked at Yao Yan, pointed at his eyes, and said, "Boy, take off the mask. If you want to become a mentor at Canaan College, you can't be so secretive. Is there something else you want to hide?"

"No, I'm just afraid of getting into trouble."

Yao Yan shook his head slightly, reached out and took off the mask on his face, revealing his extremely handsome young face.

Hu Qian only took a glance and was silenced. He immediately agreed with Yao Yan's words and raised his hand to signal, "...Take it with you. If those female students see your face, it will probably cause a lot of trouble."

Upon hearing this, Yao Yan put on the mask again. He wore the mask not to hide from the Yao Clan and the Soul Palace, but because his face was too beautiful and could easily attract a lot of men and women. Compared to those women, he actually preferred snake girls like Hua She'er and Yue Mei.

"With your ability, it shouldn't be a problem for you to be a tutor at Canaan College, but do you have any experience as a teacher?"

Hu Qian asked a fatal question.

"I am a fifth-rank alchemist."

Yao Yan spoke in a very low-key manner. He did not reveal his identity as a seventh-grade alchemist because that identity was too explosive and would easily cause unrest in the entire Canaan Academy and the Black Horn Region. If things failed to be done, it would be a lot of fun to attract the Soul Palace and Hunxuzi. By then, maybe even Yao Lao would have to go to the Soul Palace to serve his sentence.

Hu Qian was stunned when he heard this, and then he moved closer to Yao Yan and said in shock: "You said you are a fifth-grade alchemist?!"

"Pfft~"

Yao Yan did not argue. He raised his hand and summoned the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire. The green flame had a faint golden halo and flickered in his palm. Because of his control, almost no temperature was emitted. It was like an illusion. Only the constantly distorted space around him proved the authenticity of the fire.

"This is..." Hu Qian stared at the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire in Yao Yan's palm, somewhat unsure.

"The Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire ranked nineteenth on the Strange Fire List."

Yao Yan explained his doubts and said that there was no need to hide this matter. On the one hand, he would definitely make pills in the future, and on the other hand, it would also reduce Hu Qian's vigilance. As everyone knew, an alchemist could not possess two strange fires at the same time. Compared with the students of Canaan College, he was an outsider after all, and an alchemist at that, which could easily arouse the vigilance of Canaan College.

"Real strange fire..."

Hu Qian muttered to himself. This was the second time he saw a strange fire. It was rumored that Han Feng had obtained the Sea Heart Flame, but he had never dealt with the other party and naturally had never seen what the so-called Sea Heart Flame looked like.

"With my level, it shouldn't be a problem to teach you how to make medicine."

Yao Yan said softly.

"Okay, I agree to this. Follow me into the inner courtyard of Canaan College and meet the chief elder of the inner courtyard first. If he agrees, then this matter can be settled!"

Hu Qian took a deep breath, then nodded and agreed. He had no reason not to agree.
