Chapter 159 There are six people in the top five, that’s reasonable, right?

"You said you want her to join Canaan College?"

Teacher Ruolin looked at Qing Ning who was standing timidly beside Xiao Yuan, her face full of confusion.

What is this kid doing?
Asking for leave just to take a little girl who seems to have a close relationship with you through the back door?

"At the age of fourteen, the ninth level of fighting spirit is considered qualified, right?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan said with a smile.

"You are qualified, but if you do this, Yu'er..."

Teacher Ruolin frowned when she heard this and said with some embarrassment.

"Uh, mentor, can we talk for a moment?"

Xiao Yuan nodded when he heard this, and then took Teacher Ruolin to the side and said in a deep voice.

"I bought this girl at an auction before I came to the academy. I didn't want to see her being bought by someone else and used as a tool for sexual gratification, but later I discovered that her physical condition was not optimistic." Xiao Yuan briefly introduced Qing Ning's condition, and then said, "In order for her to survive, I can only ask you to take more care of her, mentor!"

As a woman, Teacher Ruolin felt a surge of sympathy when she heard this. Then, looking at Xiao Yuan's sincere eyes, she immediately agreed:

"Okay, I'll try my best. Also, I have to report this situation to the vice president."

Seeing that Teacher Ruolin had agreed to this matter, Xiao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Qing Ning's current strength was still too weak. If he really wanted to guide the initial training, it would be better to leave it to professionals.

With Xiao Yuan's method of cultivation, ordinary people simply cannot learn it, so naturally it has no reference value.

Besides, it is really inappropriate to always carry around a little girl who looks like a maid.

On the way, he had already told Qing Ning that in Canaan College, at least as a student, she would no longer be trampled on at will like she was in the Black Horn Region.

"Qing Ning, you must listen to Teacher Ruolin from now on. I'll be waiting for you in the inner courtyard."

Xiao Yuan walked to Qing Ning, rubbed her little head with a gentle smile, and spoke softly.

"Ah."

Qing Ning nodded heavily, her little face full of seriousness and solemnity.

"Teacher Ruolin, thank you for your help!"

Xiao Yuan nodded to Teacher Ruolin, then left alone.

"Your name is Qing Ning, right? From now on, I will be your mentor. You can also be like Xiao Yuan, so just call me Mentor Ruolin."

Teacher Ruolin's smile was as gentle as water, and as gentle as the spring rain that moistens everything silently, making Qingning, who had just arrived and was still a little shy, feel a lot more relaxed.

"Hello, Teacher Ruolin"

Walking slowly on the tree-lined path between the colleges, Xiao Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, not paying too much attention to the scorching gazes from all around. Although he disappeared for six days because of Qing Ning's incident, his attention in the college did not decrease at all.

According to the rules of the academy, within seven days after the end of the selection, the top fifty students in the selection must begin to prepare to enter the inner courtyard, and the top five students such as Xiao Yuan can choose a time within these seven days to enter the academy's library. As a reward, they are eligible to rely on luck to choose something that belongs to them.

Xiao Yuan was also very interested in the mysterious library that even Xun'er was obsessed with. After all, it contained a sonic fighting skill that was just right for him, the Lion and Tiger Shattering Golden Chant!

However, according to the rules, the first five people to enter must enter at the same time.

Although Hu Jia and Wu Hao's injuries are no longer serious, three of the top five are in the same group as Xiao Yuan. If Xiao Yuan doesn't come back, they naturally won't go in. This makes Hu Jia and Wu Hao quite helpless, but they were defeated by Xiao Yuan so easily, so they couldn't express any other opinions and could only wait silently.

Bookshelf.
Xiao Yuan walked while thinking.

Although this sonic fighting skill is quite suitable for him at the moment, in a sense, it is not necessary to get it.

During the previous trials, he had an idea and used the Mysterious Ice Dragon Soaring to draw out the dragon energy in his body, and passively roared a dragon's roar. This proves one thing, that if he explores and studies it more, he may be able to roughly master the usage of dragon energy.

You know, the library of Canaan College also has earth-level fighting skills. Even a figure like Yao Lao doesn't have too many fighting skills of that level in stock. After all, some fighting skills that have attributes that don't match his needs might as well be bartered for some precious medicinal herbs or something more useful.

So Xiao Yuan was considering whether to give up the Lion and Tiger Broken Golden Chant and instead try to find a martial arts technique with a better grade and a higher upper limit.

"What are you thinking about?"

A familiar voice suddenly sounded, accompanied by a fragrant breeze. Xiao Yu came to Xiao Yuan's side, put her arms around Xiao Yuan's arm, and asked with a chuckle.

"Nothing." Xiao Yuan shook his head and continued, "Let's go to the library tomorrow. I'm really looking forward to the fighting skills there!"

"Huh, looking forward to it? How come I can't tell? If you were really looking forward to it, you wouldn't have asked for leave from Teacher Ruolin these few days. Tell me, what were you doing in such a hurry?"

Xiao Yu smelled the scent of another woman on Xiao Yuan. Although she asked as a joke at the moment, if Xiao Yuan dared to lie to her, she would definitely torture Xiao Yuan, this playboy.

"Nothing. I attended an auction in Black Horn with Xiao Yan and met a poor little girl. I bought her. I didn't have time to bring her here before, and now that the competition is over, I brought her to the academy and entrusted her to Instructor Ruolin to take care of her."

Xiao Yuan shrugged and briefly explained the situation.

"In a place like the Black Horn Region, this kind of phenomenon is quite common. Hey, Xiao Yuan, you are a hero saving a beautiful girl!"

Xiao Yu said with a somewhat mischievous smile.

"If it were you, would you not save him?"

Xiao Yuan knew Xiao Yu, so he naturally wouldn't think that Xiao Yu would be jealous of a little girl. While shaking his head, he asked seriously.

"Yeah, that's right. Although our abilities are limited, we can save as many people as we can."

Xiao Yu was stunned when he heard this, then nodded, with a look of regret on his face and a hint of helplessness in his tone.

After all, with her strength at the peak of the Fighting Master level, she is not even qualified to travel alone in the Black Horn Region!

Xiao Yu seemed to begin to understand why Xiao Yuan practiced so hard.

There are too many things that require you to have enough strength!

In the Douqi Continent, only by possessing power can you have enough say and ability to do what you want to do!
"Boom!"

Suddenly, Xiao Yu pecked Xiao Yuan on the face.

"Hehe, just consider it as a reward for you!"

Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Yuan's slightly puzzled eyes and said with a smile.

"Are you sure you're not rewarding yourself?"

Xiao Yuan sniffed the faint fragrance coming from the lip balm mark left by Xiao Yu on his cheek. His heart was slightly moved, and he blinked and teased.

"Bah, you are so narcissistic!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu rolled her eyes at Xiao Yuan and said coquettishly.

"Haha, I just have a clear understanding of myself."

Xiao Yuan said with a smile.

"Humph!"

Xiao Yu snorted when she heard that, with an expression that said, "You're an idiot, I won't argue with you."

The next day, when Xiao Yuan had a good rest for the night and replenished his energy, when he came to the lobby downstairs, he found that Instructor Ruolin, Xun'er, Xiao Yan and Xiao Yu had already packed their belongings, and a middle-aged man in the academy instructor's robe was standing beside them.

"Everyone woke up early. Good morning. Who is this mentor?" Xiao Yuan walked down the stairs with a smile on his face. He turned his gaze to the middle-aged man and asked with a smile.

"Xiao Yuan, this is Instructor Kuru." Instructor Ruolin introduced with a smile, "Hu Jia and Wu Hao's injuries have completely recovered. According to the rules, this morning is the time for you to enter the library, and in the afternoon you will follow everyone to enter the inner courtyard." Hearing this, Xiao Yuan nodded suddenly, and then bowed to the middle-aged man, and greeted with a smile: "Hello, Instructor Kuru."

"haha okay."

Teacher Kuru seemed to have a good impression of Xiao Yuan and nodded with a kind smile.

But it is also true that although this mentor Kuru is a mentor, his strength is only that of a seven-star master. He witnessed the battle in the qualifying round with his own eyes, and he knows that he is no match for Xiao Yuan, so naturally he will not put on airs as a mentor.

This is the benefit brought by strength.

"Come with me."

Afterwards, Instructor Kuru gave some instructions to Xiao Yuan and the other three, then turned around and led the way.

Seeing this, Xiao Yuan and the other three hurriedly followed.

In the spacious and bright room, bookshelves are crisscrossed and filled with various ancient books, which makes the room particularly scholarly. At this moment, in the center of the room, two people are standing quietly. Behind the table in front of them, an old man with white hair and beard is slowly flipping through the materials in his hands. The whole room is in a silent atmosphere.

The people standing in the room were naturally Hu Jia and Wu Hao. Their injuries had almost recovered and they were in good spirits. Wu Hao was standing tall and steady, while Hu Jia, who was standing next to him, stared at the old man who was reading a book. After a long time, she pouted her lips with a look of grievance.

After the silence lasted for about ten minutes, Vice President Hu Qian finally turned his eyes away from the page and said calmly, "Don't expect me to help you vent your anger. You gathered so many people to besiege him, but you were defeated by him. If you have the ability, you can beat him up to vent your anger. But as for who can beat who, I don't care. In Canaan College, this kind of competition is not prohibited. As long as you want, you can do it anytime."

"Hmph, I didn't expect you to do anything. I was careless when I lost that day. I didn't expect him to be able to display such a powerful fighting skill. But I didn't use my real trump card, otherwise we don't know who will win or lose." Hu Jia snorted, and then said, "I'm just angry that guy doesn't know how to be gentle with women. After all, I'm a girl. Can't he be gentler? I'm not like Wu Hao, who has thick skin and flesh."

Wu Hao, who was standing by, had nothing to do with the matter and tried to stay out of it, but he was inexplicably caught in the crossfire and couldn't help but look over here.

Then, he looked at Hu Qian again, and decided to be magnanimous this time and not argue with Hu Jia.

Hearing Hu Jia's mumbling, Hu Qian couldn't help but laugh, and said in a somewhat teasing tone: "Cherishing women? It seems that you are not considered jade in front of him, right?"

"Hey, old man, are you my grandpa?"

Hu Jia was immediately struck by the blow when she heard this. She stomped her feet in anger. If Wu Hao hadn't been beside her, she would have dared to go up and pull Hu Qian's beard!
"Crench."

The sound of the door opening suddenly rang out, and a voice came into the room: "Deputy Dean, Xiao Yuan and the other four are here."

"Please let them in." Hu Qian closed the book in his hand and replied with a smile. Then he turned his eyes to Hu Jia and Wu Hao and said, "When you enter the inner courtyard in the future, you may have to fight together, so don't make your relationship awkward. If the new students who enter the inner courtyard every year don't stick together, the ending will not be very good. In addition, in the inner courtyard, strength is respected. Whoever has the strongest fist can get the best training conditions. There, any of your backgrounds are useless, including mine!"

When saying the last sentence, Hu Qian stared at Hu Jia, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Pouting his lips, Hu Jia was noncommittal in his heart, but nodded on his face.

Shortly after Hu Qian's voice fell, four figures walked quickly into the door, scanned the spacious room, and finally stopped at Hu Qian behind the table. They then took two steps forward and bowed.

"Haha, you four are finally here."

Looking at the two of them with a smile, Hu Qian's gaze lingered on Xiao Yuan's face for a little longer, and he felt that his previous evaluation was indeed good. In all his years of life, this was the first time he had seen such a perfect face like Xiao Yuan's.

Even his beautiful granddaughter is still slightly inferior to her.

The key point is that this kid is extremely proficient in fighting skills, which makes people wonder whether he has been practicing fighting skills since his mother's womb?
"Since you are all here, I will not say any more. You should also know the purpose of calling you here." Standing up from the chair, Hu Qian smiled and said, "You are the top five in this selection competition. According to the rules, you are eligible to enter the library to try your luck."

As he spoke, Hu Qian came to the wall behind him and casually slapped it a few times with his hands. A low rumbling sound was heard, and then a dark passage appeared in front of Xiao Yuan and the other six.

"Come with me." After waving to the six people, Hu Qian was the first to enter the dark passage. Then Hu Jia, with a curious look on his face, followed without hesitation, and then Wu Hao. After they all entered, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan looked at each other and nodded, then they each pulled their girlfriends and carefully entered the dark passage. These years of experience have also forged their cautious nature.

After entering the passage, Xiao Yuan discovered that the walls were inlaid with huge luminous pearls. The faint light made the passage a little dim, but it was enough for Xiao Yuan and others to see everything in front of them.

The atmosphere in the passage was quiet, with only the rustling of footsteps.

About half an hour later, a little light finally appeared at the end of the passage. Seeing the light, the people in the passage quickened their pace a lot. After a while, they finally arrived at the end of the passage and stepped out.

The dazzling sunlight poured down from the sky, causing Hu Jia and the others to close their eyes habitually, but Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan, on the other hand, covered their eyes with the strange fire at the same time. They were not affected by the changes in the environment at all and looked at everything in front of them.

At this moment, in front of Xiao Yuan and others, there was obviously the bottom of a valley. The steep mountain wall extended all the way upward, and finally to the end of the sight. Between the three cliffs, there happened to be a very wide open space. At this moment, on that open space, there was a huge and somewhat astonishing ancient pavilion standing on it.

His eyes slowly swept across the huge and simple pavilion, and finally stopped on an extremely ancient plaque outside the pavilion. On it, three characters that had been somewhat blurred by the years were looming. out.

Library!
Although the ancient handwriting has been ravaged by the years, Xiao Yuan and others are still shocked by the ancient artistic conception contained in the fonts. It is worthy of being the mysterious library in the outer courtyard of Canaan College. This plaque alone highlights its identity.

Hu Qian led the five people slowly towards the library. When they were about to enter the library within 20 meters, they suddenly stopped, clasped their fists in the direction of the library and said, "The top five of this year's inner court selection competition have been announced. According to the rules, I brought them here. Please open the door, elders!"

Hu Qian's words, carried by fighting spirit, lingered in the small valley for a long time.

Soon after Hu Qian finished speaking, Xiao Yuan's expression froze and he focused on the two grey-robed figures sitting cross-legged on the ground at the gate. When he came in earlier, he saw clearly that there was no one here at all!

But just after Hu Qian's voice sounded, these two people appeared out of nowhere!
And these two are the guardians of Canaan Academy, and their strength is as strong as that of the Qianbaier elders at the peak of Dou Zong!

In front of them, even the former Medicine Master had to stay silent in the ring to avoid being sensed by them.

Hu Qian's voice slowly dissipated in the valley, but the two gray-robed figures did not make any movement, as if they had not heard anything.

Seeing that there was no response to his words, Hu Qian did not speak again. He kept his fists clasped together and waited quietly.

The silent atmosphere lasted for nearly ten minutes in the valley. Then the robes of the two grey-robed figures sitting cross-legged at the gate of the pavilion trembled slightly. Then, under the grey robes, two pairs of eyes, as calm as those of old monks, were raised and swept over Hu Qian and the others one by one. Finally, they suddenly stopped at Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan. The grey robes trembled slightly, and a faint hoarse voice of surprise came out quietly: "Strange fire?"

The subtle sound slowly echoed in the silent valley, and also rang clearly in the ears of Xiao Yuan and others.

"May I know your names, young friends?" A man in a gray robe stared at Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan. His hoarse voice revealed a trace of vicissitudes accumulated over the years.

Hearing that the gray-robed man actually left Hu Qian behind and asked questions to Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan, several people in the valley were stunned, and then turned their heads to cast strange looks at the two of them. Judging from Hu Qian's previous respectful attitude towards the two gray-robed men, these two people obviously had a special status in Canaan College, and the two brothers of the Xiao family were able to make these two people have a little interest in him. This kind of treatment is really enviable.

Immediately afterwards, several surprised and suspicious gazes fell on Xiao Yuan.

From what the gray-robed man said, could it be that Xiao Yuan also has a strange fire?
Xiao Yuan was having a headache regarding the gray-robed man's question. He had never used the strange fire since he entered Canaan College, and yet it was pointed out like this. It was really uncomfortable!
But he had to answer, and immediately exchanged glances with Xiao Yan, clasped his fists, and said respectfully: "I am Xiao Yuan (Xiao Yan), greet you two elders."

"The fire is divided into black and white, rising and disappearing. It seems to be clearly divided, but in fact they are mutually dependent, mutually transformed and mutually restricted. If my guess is correct, the strange fire you control should be the Yin and Yang double flames ranked 21st on the strange fire list."

The old voice lingered in Xiao Yuan's ears, causing a hint of surprise to emerge in his eyes. This old man could tell at a glance that the strange fire in his body was a Yin and Yang flame. Such eyesight was truly amazing!
"It looks like you two are brothers. You are both able to control strange fire at such a young age. You are truly gifted." The gray-robed man on the left sighed softly, with a hint of admiration in his voice. He then turned his gaze to Hu Qian and said in a hoarse voice, "The top five this year are much better than the last year."

Hearing what he said, Hu Qian breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "In that case, please ask the two elders to unlock the space lock."

"Wait, how come there are six people in your top five?"

The gray-robed man on the left then asked.

"Well, there are six people in the top five, that's reasonable, right?"

Hu Qian said somewhat unconfidently.

In fact, it would be better to have Hu Jia and Wu Hao compete again to decide the fifth place, but if Hu Jia loses, wouldn’t that be a big loss?
"Haha, that's all."

The grey-robed man on the right seemed to be in a good mood after hearing that. He smiled and waved his hands, then slowly stretched out two pairs of dry palms from his sleeves, and then slowly formed hand seals one by one. As they formed hand seals, Xiao Yuan and others could clearly feel that two extremely powerful and invisible waves were coming out from their palms like waves.

The invisible waves gradually spread, and finally came into contact with the folds of space. When the two came into contact, the space in front of Xiao Yuan and others became like a mirror made of water, with ripples constantly appearing. After a while, the ripples stopped, and a slightly illusory door was slowly torn out by an invisible big hand.

"Let's go." Seeing the space gate appear, Hu Qian waved his hand, and then walked in first. Afterwards, Xiao Yuan followed in without hesitation.

As he stepped out of the invisible door, Xiao Yuan found that the sight in front of him became much brighter than before, and his eyes looking towards the pavilion also became clearer. Obviously, they had truly entered the space lock.

After thanking the two elders who opened the door, Hu Qian raised his hand and pointed to the library, then turned to Xiao Yuan and the others and said:
"Now you can enter the library on your own. Remember, no matter what you want, you can't force it, because everything inside is added with an energy layer. If your hand can pass through the energy layer without any hindrance, then you can take away the things inside. Of course, no matter how much you can take, you can only take one thing out of the library. Don't be greedy, otherwise you will end up with nothing.

If you can't penetrate the energy layers, then give up. With your strength, you can't break them. In recent years, there are people who enter the library every year, but there are also many who return empty-handed. Therefore, everything can only be left to fate. Don't force things that you can't get. "

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan and the others nodded, looked at each other, and then slowly walked towards the library.
