The leader of the enforcement team fell into silence; the other party indeed showed no killing intent now, but the thick, black, red glow from just moments ago could not be faked.
This was a ruthless person who could control his killing intent at will!
Achieving this was not easy; otherwise, those who wished to enter Peace Town would not have started adjusting their state of mind so far away on the road.
For such a person, the Killing Aura Sensing Pill would have no effect whatsoever, as the other party would show no signs before truly taking action to kill.
The leader of this enforcement squad was in a difficult situation for a moment.
The others who wanted to enter Peace Town also couldn't help but marvel, each watching the commotion from the sidelines.
"Hey, I've long been annoyed by that pill; these bastards finally met their match."
"Keep your voice down, don't let them hear you."
"If they hear it, they hear..." His words abruptly stopped as a member of the enforcement team looked over.
The burly man snorted twice and stopped speaking.
After a long while, the enforcement squad leader finally spoke in a deep voice: "Friend, could you disclose your intention for coming to Peace Town? Although you currently meet the conditions to enter Peace Town, the scene just now makes me hesitant to let you pass."
"I'm here to join Jia Nan Academy. Due to some reasons, I missed the last enrollment, so I came by myself," Amon said with a smile.
"Came by yourself? You crossed the Black-Corner Region alone?" A hint of surprise appeared on the squad leader's face.
He knew the danger of the Black-Corner Region very well; even he wouldn't dare to stay alone in the Black-Corner Region for too long. In such a place, even a Dou Spirit, or even a Dou King expert, could be ambushed and die in some corner if not careful.
"Then you've come at the wrong time; there's still some time until the next enrollment," the squad leader shook his head.
"Is that a problem?" Amon's smile remained unchanged.
"Perhaps not a problem. My name is Nide, I am the captain of the fourth squad of the enforcement team, and also a Yellow Rank instructor of the academy. What is your current cultivation level?"
The squad leader became interested and introduced himself. He vaguely felt that he might have stumbled upon a treasure, and perhaps he could rely on him to be promoted to a Profound Rank title and earn a higher salary.
Amon revealed a trace of this clone's aura, and the pressure of a Dou Spirit made Nide instinctively take a step back, opening his mouth, speechless for a moment.
A Dou Spirit, seeking education?
He's probably graduating as soon as he enrolls, right?
Are you really here to study?
"Uh... our Jia Nan Academy, the requirements for admitting students are not only reaching eight-stage Dou Qi before the age of eighteen, but also a maximum age limit, which cannot exceed 25 years old," Nide's tone unconsciously carried a hint of respect.
On the Dou Qi Continent, strength was paramount.
Nide was merely an eight-star Dou Grandmaster; facing Amon, whose cultivation was one rank higher than his own, it was normal to maintain a respectful attitude when their positions were not hostile.
"As for age... probably a teenager, I don't remember it very clearly."
A teenager... As soon as Amon spoke these words, a collective gasp could be heard from the surroundings.
"Hiss..."
"A teenage Dou Spirit expert?"
Terrifying indeed!
Many of the other enforcement team members were Nide's students, and at this moment, their eyes were filled only with shock.
Being able to join Jia Nan Academy, their talent was naturally not weak; in their respective hometowns, they could all be called exceptionally gifted. However, compared to this young man in front of them, the gap was even greater than between a human and a dog.
They also didn't have too many doubts; no one would tell such a lie that could easily be proven false with a simple test.
They exchanged glances, understanding the meaning in each other's eyes. Their class was likely about to welcome a junior student.
An instructor would certainly not let go of someone with such talent, although he might not stay in the class for long before heading to the Inner Courtyard. But this would still take some time.
If they could befriend him while he was still studying in the Outer Courtyard, even if the relationship couldn't become profound, a nodding acquaintance would still be good.
Some were already thinking about what Amon lacked and what easy things they could do for him to leave an impression on this future powerhouse.
Nide also became enthusiastic, a sincere smile appearing on his face: "Certainly no problem. If you have time, young brother, we can find a place to talk in detail."
"My pleasure," Amon nodded slightly.
They didn't go far, just to a teahouse nearby.
The duty at the gate could not be abandoned; Nide had to remain on site, otherwise, the team members, who at most only had Dou Master strength, might not be able to control the situation.
The waiter brought a pot of tea and poured a cup for each of them: "Guests, please enjoy yourselves. If you need anything, just let me know."
Nide looked at Amon and said softly: "Jia Nan Academy generally requires waiting until the next year if you miss the enrollment season, but there are always exceptions.
"The academy has given teachers the power to specially recruit students. Special recruitment is not time-limited and can be done without examination, as long as the age meets the requirements, they can directly enroll. This can also be considered a benefit the academy provides to teachers."
Amon nodded understandingly: "So you can directly recruit your relatives or friends, or trade with others and receive compensation?"
Nide smiled: "Exactly. The enrollment quota for Jia Nan Academy is still very sought after. Many family disciples whose talent is slightly lacking are willing to pay a great price for an exchange.
"Each teacher has a limited number of special recruitment slots; Yellow Rank teachers get one per year, and Profound Rank teachers get two per year.
"As I mentioned before, I am also a Yellow Rank teacher at the academy, and my quota for this year, coincidentally, has not been used yet.
"Originally, three families had sent people to discuss with me, but if you want to enter the academy, I can give this slot to you.
"To be honest, I also hope you can become my student. Hmm... with your strength, I can't teach you anything. Not just me, probably all the teachers in the Outer Courtyard can't teach you anything.
"With your current strength, even if you go to the Inner Courtyard, you should still be among the top performers."
Amon raised his right hand, pinched his monocle, and chuckled: "Do I need to pay anything?"
Nide laughed wryly: "It's not what you need to pay, but rather I am requesting you to join my class...
"If your talent were a bit less... even if better than average students, to get a special recruitment slot, you would have to offer something.
"But for someone like you, the situation is completely reversed. Whoever takes you as a student will definitely get a Profound Rank evaluation, and then have two slots next year... Besides that, there are also some other benefits to a title advancement."
"Then to invite me to your class, shouldn't you be paying something?" Amon's smile was evident on his face.
Nide's expression froze, and he rubbed his forehead somewhat helplessly, saying:
"You, a genius Dou Spirit expert, would you even care about the assets of an ordinary Dou Grandmaster like me? Hmm... can the information I just provided count as my payment?"
"That's enough. Then, please guide me, instructor," Amon stood up and bowed slightly, performing a polite half-bow.
Nide was quite flattered, as he didn't dare to truly consider himself the teacher of a Dou Spirit, especially one with whom their relationship was more of a cooperation upon their first meeting.
He called two students: "You two, take Zhou Mingrui to Canaan City and settle him in."
Then, he turned back to Amon: "You can wait in Canaan City for a day. I'll finish my handover tonight and then take you to complete the enrollment procedures. Is that alright?"
"Yes," Amon agreed.
