Chapter 17 Entering the LibraryIn the spacious and bright room, bookshelves are crisscrossed and filled with various ancient books, which makes the room particularly bookish.
At this moment, in the center of the room, four people were standing there quietly. Behind the table in front of them, an old man with white hair and beard was sitting upright on a chair, slowly flipping through the book in his hand. The whole room was filled with silence.
The four people in the room were the Canaan students who had won the top five places with Xiao Yun. They had obviously been waiting here for a long time, but there was no sign of impatience on their faces. Firstly, the old man reading a book in front of them was Hu Qian, the vice president of Canaan College, and secondly, the person who made them wait was Xiao Yun!
The learning atmosphere at Canaan Academy was very friendly, but that was compared to the Black Horn Region outside. As long as the lives of the students were not endangered, in Canaan Academy, the one with the biggest fist was the boss and was entitled to more training resources. Xiao Yun's fist was bigger than the four of them, so Xiao Yun was qualified to let the four of them wait for him alone!
Fortunately, Xiao Yun did not deliberately come late. He came immediately after hearing Hu Jia's message.
After the four of them stood in silence for nearly ten minutes, Xiao Yun finally arrived.
Boom boom boom!
There was a knock on the door, and at the same time a voice came from outside the door, "Dean, Xiao Yun is here."
"Please let him in." He put down the book in his hand and looked at Fang Wen and the other four people. "When you enter the inner courtyard in the future, you may have to work hard together. Every year, if the new students who enter the inner courtyard do not stick together, the ending will not be very good. In addition, in the inner courtyard, strength is respected. Whoever has the stronger fist and speaks the truth can get more resources for cultivation. There, any background of yours is useless!" For the last sentence, Hu Qian stared at Xiao Yun who had just entered the door. The words were self-evident.
Hearing Hu Qian's words, Xiao Yun at the door hurriedly took two steps forward, bowed and said, "Student will remember the dean's teachings."
"Xiao Yun, you are finally here." Hu Qian said with a smile, his attitude was completely different from before, his eyes stayed on Xiao Yun's face for a while, "Yes, the fighting spirit in your body is more solid, it seems that the selection competition has made your foundation much more solid."
After Hu Qian and Xiao Yun stared at each other for a while, the experienced eyes noticed that beneath Xiao Yun's calm appearance, there was a fiery irritability and instability. He looked like a calm mountain with a hidden volcano. At any time and place, the terrible volcano in his body would erupt with astonishingly terrifying energy.
"Since everyone is here, I won't say any more. You should know why I called you here." Hu Qian stood up from his chair and said with a smile, "You are the top five in this round of trials. According to the rules of the academy, you are eligible to enter the library once and choose a treasure from it based on your luck."
As he spoke, Hu Qian came to the wall behind him and clapped his hands casually a few times. A low rumbling sound was heard, and then a hidden secret door appeared in front of everyone.
"Follow me." After waving to the five people, Hu Qian was the first to enter the dark passage. Seeing that the four people did not move and wanted him to go in front, Xiao Yun did not hesitate and followed Hu Qian in. After Xiao Yun went in, the other four people walked into the passage one after another.
The passage was pitch black and the atmosphere was quiet, with only the rustling of footsteps being heard.
"call!"
A bright flame emerged from Xiao Yun's hand, illuminating the entire passage, attracting everyone's attention. "Put out the fire. You are all at the Grand Master level, can't you see the way?" Hu Qian said unhappily.
"Okay." Xiao Yun laughed dryly twice, looked at everyone awkwardly, and extinguished the fire in his hand.
……
After walking in the passage for nearly half an hour, a little light finally appeared at the end of the passage. Seeing the light, the people in the passage quickened their pace. After a while, they finally arrived at the end of the passage and took a step out.
The dazzling sunlight poured down from the sky, causing Xiao Yun and the others who had just walked out of the darkness to close their eyes out of habit. After a while, they slowly opened their eyes and looked at the scene that appeared before them. They couldn't help but be a little surprised.
At this time, in front of Xiao Yun and others was a valley with a groove in the middle, which was obviously man-made.
"Is this probably caused by the Half-Saint Dean?" Xiao Yun thought secretly in his heart. Apart from Mang Tianchi, he couldn't think of anyone else in Canaan Academy who had such great power.
The steep mountain wall continued to extend upwards, and finally to the end of the sight. In the three cliffs, there happened to be a very wide flat land. At this moment, on that flat land, a huge and heavy ancient attic, which was a little astonishing, was standing there.
His eyes slowly swept across the huge and quaint attic, and finally stopped on an extremely ancient plaque outside the attic. On it, there were three characters that were somewhat blurred due to the erosion of time.
Library!
Although they were just standing at a distance and watching, Xiao Yun and his companions could still feel the ancient artistic conception contained in the three blurred words. It was worthy of being the most mysterious library in Canaan College. This ancient plaque alone highlighted its identity.
Hu Qian led the five people to slowly walk towards the library. When they were about to enter the library within 20 meters, they suddenly stopped and clasped their fists in the direction of the library and said, "The top five candidates for this inner courtyard selection competition have been announced. According to the rules of the academy, I will bring them here. Please open the door!"
Hu Qian's words, blessed by fighting spirit, continued to echo in this small valley for a long time.
Not long after Hu Qian finished speaking, Xiao Yun's gaze, which was originally looking at the library, suddenly stopped. His eyes swept to the side and finally stopped on two gray-robed figures sitting cross-legged on the ground at the gate. When he came in earlier, he clearly saw that there was no one at the gate.
And now, these two gray-robed men suddenly appeared here, as if they had been sitting there all along. "As expected of the two elders, they are at the peak of Dou Zong level. Even my soul perception didn't detect when they appeared."
Xiao Yun was secretly shocked. Although he had known about the strength of the two elders, as the saying goes, seeing someone once is worse than hearing about them a thousand times. A Dou Zong-level existence can be considered a strong man even in the entire Dou Qi Continent. In the northwest continent far away from the central area, it is simply a giant!
