Chapter 13 Return
On the back mountain of the Xiao family, Xiao Yan and Xiao Yun, with dark circles under their eyes, sat side by side on a large rock, gazing at the World of Warcraft Mountains in the distance."I heard that you've been going to the back mountain a lot recently. Are you trying to peek at the girls from your tribe who are taking a hot spring bath?" After beating Xiao Huohuo up, Xiao Yun was in a good mood. He joked while looking at the misty mountains.
"Who said that! Cousin, please don't slander me. How can you say something without any evidence? Be careful or I will sue you for defamation. I went to the back mountain to practice fighting spirit and never thought of peeping at girls taking a bath."
Hearing Xiao Yun's words, Xiao Yan was horrified. This kind of thing was very serious. If his father knew about it, Xiao Zhan would probably hang him up and beat him.
"That's good. Let me tell you, if I find out that you, little brat, have done anything that brings disgrace upon the Xiao family, it won't just be a matter of a few punches, but something like this." Xiao Yun flicked his fingers, and a fiery red fighting spirit flew out of his fingers. Then with a bang, a small stone on the ground was shattered to pieces.
Seeing the egg-sized stone being shattered, Xiao Yan felt a chill down there. He wiped the nonexistent cold sweat from his forehead and quickly assured him, "Don't worry, cousin. You know who I am, Xiao Yan. I will never do anything that would bring disgrace to our family!"
"Hahaha, that's better."
Patting Xiao Yan on the shoulder, Xiao Yun stood up and said, "In the entire Xiao family, you have the best talent except me. Now you have reached the seventh level of fighting spirit. By this time next year, I believe you can meet the minimum standard for admission to Canaan College. Do you want to go to the college to practice then?"
"Well, forget it. I prefer a challenging life. I want to go out and explore the world with my big brother and second brother after my coming-of-age ceremony."
Xiao Yan shook his head and rejected Xiao Yun's proposal. In his previous life, he was fed up with the school's rules. Now that he had traveled to another world, how could he still be willing to go to school? Moreover, compared to the quiet life in the academy, he still preferred the magnificent world around the world.
“Going out and exploring the world? You do have an adventurous spirit. However, as long as you are willing to practice hard, I believe you can become a strong man anywhere.” He was not surprised that Xiao Yan was unwilling to go to Canaan College. If Xiao Yan was willing to go to Canaan College, he would have gone there long ago in the original novel. Moreover, the only reason he went to Canaan College was because of the Fallen Heart Flame in the inner courtyard.
"Here, this is a gift for you. The ring contains the elixirs and fighting skills I prepared for you. As for the skills, I will prepare them for you when you break through to the Fighter level."
After jumping off the stone, Xiao Yun threw a storage ring to Xiao Yan, "Practice well. Your talent is no worse than mine on the road of cultivation. I just started earlier than you."
In the entire Xiao family, it is estimated that only Xiao Yan will be able to keep up with his pace in the future. Giving him a little help now in exchange for a powerful helper in the future is an investment that will never be a loss.
Giving Xiao Yan elixirs and fighting skills is also to hope that he can practice faster. After all, as the son of destiny of Douqi Continent, Xiao Yan will definitely break through the Dou Emperor in the future. If he encounters any accident in the future and dies in advance, Xiao Yan can still help Xiao Yun protect the people he cares about.
With his hands behind his back, Xiao Yun encouraged Xiao Yan and walked leisurely down the mountain.
"He just left a little earlier than me? Isn't his talent worse than yours?" He shook his head with a wry smile. Looking at Xiao Yun's departing back and thinking of the gap between them, Xiao Yan just thought he was comforting himself.
……
A few days later, Xiao Yun and Xiao Ding arrived at the enrollment square under the escort of Xiao Zhan and the elders.
"Ding'er, when you are away from home, listen to your cousin more. If you encounter any problems, remember to tell your cousin." Xiao Zhan's eyes were red, and he pulled Xiao Ding aside to talk in a whisper. He was really worried that his eldest son was going to a foreign country to study and practice before he even reached adulthood.
The three elders also pulled Xiao Yun aside and said that he was now the hope of the Xiao family and that he should be careful when he ventured out into the world.
The four of them talked for a long time until the instructor from the Canaan admissions team came to urge them. Then they reluctantly let go of Xiao Yun and the other two, and watched them board the flying magic beast and soar into the sky.
On the ground, Xiao Zhan and the three elders looked up at the departing monster, unwilling to leave for a long time...
In the sky, Xiao Yun greeted the instructor and asked Xiao Ding to follow the freshmen to listen to the information about Canaan College. Then he returned to the single dormitory on the back of the monster alone and began to practice silently.
……
In the Black Horn Region, a gigantic roc soared in the sky, following a specific route, bypassing all other cities and heading straight for Canaan City.
Not long after, Xiao Yun and his party arrived in Canaan City. After passing through the bustling streets, they finally returned to Canaan College.
As soon as he returned to Canaan College, Xiao Yun went straight to the teaching department and found his tutor, Xu Ning.
"Teacher, I'm back"
In the tutor's office, Xu Ning was scolding Xiao Yun.
"You little brat, you really made me anxious. There's only one day left before the inner courtyard selection and you're willing to come back. If you didn't make it, I, Old Xu, would have to go back to being a yellow-level mentor." Xu Ning looked at Xiao Yun who had returned and breathed a sigh of relief. These days, he had been looking forward to Xiao Yun's return. After all, Xiao Yun was the only one he could show off in the inner courtyard selection.
"You had to go to the law enforcement team for training a year ago, so you missed the last inner court selection competition. You must participate in this one!"
"I'm sorry, tutor. I encountered some trouble on the way and was delayed for some time, but fortunately I made it in time. Please help me register."
He scratched his head embarrassedly. On the way back, Xiao Yun broke through to the Seven-Star Grand Fighter realm during his practice. The energy of heaven and earth generated during the breakthrough shocked everyone else. In order not to affect Xiao Yun's breakthrough, the speed of the flying monster was reduced to the lowest, which resulted in him almost missing the inner courtyard selection.
If he missed the inner courtyard selection due to his breakthrough, he would probably regret it to death. Xiao Yun couldn't wait any longer, so he thought about entering the inner courtyard to practice this morning.
Because the resources in the inner courtyard are richer than those in the outer courtyard.
The outer courtyard couldn't even compare to the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower. In addition, there was another treasure in the inner courtyard that hadn't been discovered by others.
That is the Earth Core Tempering Milk!
According to memory, the Geocentric Body Tempering Milk was not discovered by Lin Xiuya and others until Xiao Yan joined the inner courtyard. Now it was still eleven years before Xiao Yan joined the inner courtyard. This opportunity that belonged to Xiao Yan in the future, he would enjoy it for Xiao Yan first, and then compensate Xiao Huohuo with other things. It was just that the Snow Demon Sky Ape guarding the Geocentric Body Tempering Milk was a little troublesome, but it was just a little troublesome.
After entering the inner courtyard and finding the Earth Core Tempering Milk, Xiao Yun will be promoted to Dou Wang as quickly as possible. In this way, Xiao Yun will dare to return to the Jia Ma Empire to look for some opportunities instead of going back secretly like this time.
When the time comes, he will find Xiao Yixiang and Qinglin first and activate their super talents, so that he can have two more helpers in the shortest time.
There is also the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire in the Tagor Desert. After he enters the inner courtyard, he will start collecting materials for the Blood Lotus Pill and the Ice Spirit Cold Spring. He can also ask his teacher for some spiritual energy. He believes that Elder Huo will have some extra spiritual energy.
After he prepared these three things, he took the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire. He felt a little sorry for Xiao Huohuo as he had robbed him of another opportunity.
After thinking for a long time, it was not until Xu Ning's light cough that Xiao Yun was awakened from his beautiful fantasy of the future.
"Hey, brat, where did you learn this skill of being able to daydream anytime and anywhere? You're almost drooling when I sign you up."
Xu Ning said unhappily, "Here, this is your admission ticket. Remember to take this with you to participate in the inner courtyard selection tomorrow."
He threw a card to Xiao Yun and waved his hand, indicating that Xiao Yun could leave.
"Oh, by the way, instructor, among this year's freshmen, there is a fellow from my clan, named Xiao Ding, who is also quite talented. He has already reached the eighth level of fighting spirit at the age of twelve. I hope instructor can accept him."
Before leaving, Xiao Yun remembered Xiao Ding who came with him, and quickly told Xu Ning about Xiao Ding's situation. He took out a jade bottle from his ring and placed it on the table, "This is a small gift from the student, I hope the instructor will accept it."
"You kid, you are quite good at dealing with things. You have even learned how to bribe the teacher? Take your broken pill back. If Xiao Ding is really like what you said, I will rush to get it even if you don't give it to me." Xu Ning pointed at Xiao Yun and scolded with a smile.
……
After leaving the teaching building, Xiao Yun did not return to the dormitory, but went to the Alchemy Department building and found Elder Huo.
"Teacher, disciple Xiao Yun wants to see you."
Outside the alchemy room that belonged to Elder Huo, Xiao Yun bowed and saluted.
"Come in, little brat."
Hearing Elder Huo's voice, Xiao Yun pushed the door open and walked in.
"I told you to return to Canaan College earlier, why did you only come back today?" Elder Huo frowned and sat cross-legged in the middle of the alchemy room.
Xiao Yun had no choice but to repeat what he had just said to Xu Ning.
"Hmm? I didn't expect that in just two months, you had another breakthrough and also attracted the energy of heaven and earth. It seems that you have gained a lot this time." After learning the reason why Xiao Yun was delayed, Elder Huo's frown relaxed and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"In each inner courtyard selection competition, the top five will have an opportunity to enter our Canaan College library. There are many treasures in the library, even several volumes of high-level earth-level skills. With your strength, I believe it will not be difficult to enter the top five. You just need to seize the opportunity in the library and strive to obtain treasures of higher quality." Elder Huo touched his gray beard and said with a smile.
Xiao Yun also knew that the library contained a lot of good things.
Earth-level skills, earth-level fighting techniques, top-level medicinal materials, top-level weapons and treasures, any one of them, if taken out, can cause chaos in the entire Black Horn Region.
However, not everyone can enter the library. Only those who have made significant contributions to Canaan College or are in the top five of the inner courtyard selection competition can enter and choose the treasures of their choice.
"How about you give me a Dragon Power Pill so I can use it when I select treasures in the library?"
When Xiao Yun heard his teacher say this about the library, he was moved and said jokingly.
"Hmph, brat, why would I keep a pill like the Dragon Power Pill? Besides, even if I had it, I wouldn't give it to you."
"You think you're the only one who has evil thoughts. As early as more than a decade ago, there were countless people who had the same idea as you, but they were eventually thrown out by the two adults who were guarding the library."
"To obtain treasures in the library, you can only rely on your own strength. If you refine pills like the Dragon Power Pill yourself and take them to obtain treasures, I believe the two adults will not make it difficult for you. But if it is not your own strength, then not only will you lose face, but you won't even get a hair of the treasure!"
Elder Huo knocked Xiao Yun on the head with some force and sternly warned him not to have any evil intentions.
"I was just joking. I didn't really mean it." Touching the big bump on his head, Xiao Yun said with a look of grievance.
He really had no ill intentions. All his martial arts and fighting skills were monopolized by Elder Huo, and he had no use for the top-grade medicinal herbs and weapons. The most he wanted to see if he could get some treasures from them that could increase his cultivation.
"Okay, go back and prepare well for tomorrow's inner court trials, and don't let your guard down and fall out of the top five."
"Don't worry, teacher, I will get first place in this competition!"
Xiao Yun was full of confidence and not worried at all about the inner courtyard selection.
