Chapter 161 Dean Mang Tianchi

"Tsk, after all these years, I finally have a student I can look up to."

An old voice sounded with a hint of disappointment, and the shadow of an old man in a black robe appeared in front of Xiao Yuan.

Looking at the mysterious old man in front of him, Xiao Yuan took a step back, his face full of vigilance.

Because he found that he was no longer in the room with the energy shield, but had come to an endless sea of ​​thunder.

"What are you doing? Why don't you even say hello when you see me?"

The old man saw that Xiao Yuan actually took a step back, his face suddenly darkened, and he came forward, puffing his beard and glaring at him and said.

"Uh, who are you?"

Xiao Yuan really didn't know who the old man in front of him was, but he guessed that he was most likely a senior, so he respectfully bowed as a junior and asked.

"Fuck, are you mistaken? You can get the skills I left behind, so you must be a student of Canaan College. How can you not even recognize your own dean?"

The old man was so angry that he trembled all over when he heard this, and questioned with a look of disbelief on his face.

"Well, I really don't know you. The main academy doesn't have a portrait of you either!"

Xiao Yuan scratched his head awkwardly when he heard this, but his heart trembled slightly.

He just thought that the grade of that technique was not low and it had thunder attribute, which might be helpful for practicing Three Thousand Thunders, so he tried to get it. He didn't expect that it was actually the treasure left by the dean!

"Damn it! I'll have Su Qian put my portrait all over the academy! Remember this, I am Mang Tianchi, the president of Canaan College. If you fail to recognize me when you see me again, I will throw you into the thunder pond and let you be struck by lightning!"

Hearing this, Mang Tianchi cursed, then glanced at Xiao Yuan and nodded imperceptibly, obviously quite satisfied with Xiao Yuan.

"Yin Yang Double Flame, Dou Ling" Mang Tian Chi frowned suddenly when he was halfway through his words, and then said, "Your aura is so weird, it fluctuates between the level of a four-star Grand Dou Master and a three-star Dou Ling. You are not bad, only eighteen years old, Dou Qi... Damn, you are obviously an ice attribute, what are you doing with my skills?"

After a short conversation, the dean of Canaan College lowered his status again and again. The tone of his voice did not sound like that of a dean at all, but more like that of a bandit in the mountains.

“Because it’s good.”

Seeing that Mang Tianchi did not put on airs, Xiao Yuan also became a little more relaxed and said with a shrug.

"I give up. How about I change you to a low-level ice-attributed earth-level technique? My technique is not suitable for you. It's such a waste."

Mang Tianchi asked speechlessly after hearing this.

"That won't work. I got it by my own ability. Why should I exchange it for something else? Your technique seems to be of advanced earth rank, right? How about you, dean, give me an advanced earth rank ice-attribute technique and fighting skills? I will give your technique back immediately!"

Xiao Yuan would not suffer any loss, so he started to extort money immediately.

"No, why don't you just rob it? Where can I get you an advanced earth-level ice-attributed technique? Oh, I remember, there is a Demon Flame Valley in the Black Horn Region, and the owner of the valley, the old demon, should have an earth-level ice-attributed technique. Why don't you go ask him for it?"

Mang Tianchi glared and spoke angrily, but then he changed the subject and spoke jokingly.

"What is his strength?"

Xiao Yuan pretended not to know how powerful the old demon was and asked curiously.

"He should be a Dou Zong five, six, seven or eight star, right? I don't know. His talent is not very good. I think his improvement has been limited over the years."

Mang Tianchi said uncertainly after hearing this.

"Dean, you want your students to die, right?"

Xiao Yuan covered his face and sighed helplessly.

"Hey, that's enough. I won't argue with you anymore. The academy only has low-level and intermediate earth-level fighting skills with ice attributes. I've given them to you. This Demon Thunder Mirror is indeed not suitable for you to practice. You should switch to ice attributes. It's a pity that such a good talent like you is wasted."

Mang Tianchi smiled upon seeing this, then waved his hand. With a flick of his hand, two white scrolls covered with frost appeared in his hand.

"Dean, I can really practice this technique!"

As Xiao Yuan spoke, he flicked the scroll in his hand. An arc of lightning was drawn into his body and, under Xiao Yuan's control, fell into the Qingmu Qi Palace.

boom!
As the lightning arc entered, Xiao Yuan used it as a guide to begin transforming his fighting spirit. After a moment, under Mang Tianchi's curious gaze, a green lightning arc began to dance on Xiao Yuan's fingertips.

"Fuck!"

Seeing this scene, Mang Tianchi let out a cry of surprise, but the next moment, when he saw the lightning arc from his fingertips spread to his whole body, condensing into a set of lightning-attributed fighting spirit armor, shock appeared in his eyes.

how can that be!

This guy actually has thunder attribute fighting spirit? No wonder he was able to get the Demonic Thunder Mirror!

Xiao Yuan looked at the shadow of Mang Tianchi, a smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

He was not worried that Mang Tianchi would covet his dual-attribute fighting spirit physique. With Mang Tianchi's cultivation and identity, it would be impossible for him to do that.

However, Mang Tianchi's next reaction made Xiao Yuan want to laugh.

Mang Tianchi realized that he had lost his composure and frowned, saying righteously:

"Well, actually, it was just a test for you. I saw early on that you have thunder attribute fighting spirit. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to get the Demonic Thunder Mirror and activate the mark I left in it at the same time. This technique is quite mysterious, and it also has matching fighting skills. It is considered the most precious set of fighting skills in Canaan Academy.

You kid, you have to practice my skills well, don't let me down. Okay, go ahead!"

After saying that, Mang Tianchi waved his hand, and a black lightning flashed into Xiao Yuan's brow, forming a thunder mark. At the same time, the scene around Xiao Yuan began to gradually fade away.

boom!
In the silver lightning storm, black arcs of lightning flashed, emitting a heart-pounding breath of destruction. Wu Hao and Hu Jia were far away and felt that their lives could not be effectively protected. Although Xiao Yuan had shocked them greatly before, they couldn't help but worry about Xiao Yuan's safety at this moment.

However, not long after, the storm, which had been raging for a while, gradually became sluggish, as if the fire had been drained out from under the cauldron.

Soon, an inverted vortex gradually formed at the center of the thunderstorm, and an ice coffin full of cracks appeared in front of everyone.

Click!

The ice coffin made a crisp cracking sound, and then fell to the ground and turned into ice chips.

Among them, Xiao Yuan had lightning flashing in his eyes. He was holding a silver scroll with black lightning arc patterns in his hand, looking thoughtful.

"Xiao Yuan!"

Xiao Yu was the first to rush over and immediately began to check if Xiao Yuan was injured.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Xiao Yuan came back to his senses, threw the scroll in his hand into the storage ring, and smiled soothingly.

"elder brother."

Xiao Yan and Xun'er also came over, looking concerned.

"Let's go, we got the stuff."

Xiao Yuan nodded, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face, and he pulled Xiao Yu out.

Xiao Yan and Xun'er followed closely behind. Although Hu Jia and Wu Hao didn't know what Xiao Yuan had obtained specifically, they could tell that the quality of that thing was probably not low.

As the six people left, the vortex-like energy shields around this huge room began to shrink slowly. After a moment, the energy shield turned into a small dot and completely dissipated with a slight click. At this time, the entire huge room became empty. No one could have imagined that this place was once filled with countless treasures that were enough to cause a sensation in the outside world.

"Crench."

The tightly closed ancient door was suddenly gently opened, and the warm sunlight poured in through the crack of the door, leaving a long streak of light in the dark passage until the end of the light. The door opened, and Xiao Yuan and the other six walked out one after another. Standing on the steps, looking at the lush colors in the valley, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The atmosphere in the library was really too dull.

"This library is so vast, I'm afraid the big room we entered is just a corner of it. This place is really full of mystery."

Walking out of the door, Xiao Yuan glanced imperceptibly at the two gray-robed men on both sides who looked like old monks in meditation, and muttered to himself in his heart.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, a gray-robed man suddenly moved his sleeves slightly, and then Xiao Yuan and others felt a vast and powerful invisible energy scanning through them. The energy was so strong that it made them feel horrified.

The invisible energy seemed to only play a role in scanning, so it only lasted for about ten seconds before receding like a tide until it completely dissipated.

"The time has come. Let's go. Remember, you must not disclose anything that happened here today, including the information inside the library, to anyone else."

A hoarse, old voice slowly hovered at the gate.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan and others hurriedly bowed their heads.

"Haha, are they all out?" Hu Qian, who had been standing in front of the pavilion, smiled and said, "You all came out empty-handed, right?"

Xiao Yuan and the other six nodded.

"That's good. No matter what you get is not what you want, at least it can be regarded as something." Seeing this, Hu Qian smiled, slightly bent towards the two old monk-like men in gray robes beside the door, and said : "Now that these little guys have come out, I won't disturb the two elders in their hard training. I'll take my leave."

The two grey-robed men still did not respond to Hu Qian's words, but Hu Qian did not mind. He waved to Xiao Yuan and the others and said, "Come with me."

Hearing Hu Qian's voice, Xiao Yuan and the other six bowed to the two gray-robed men who were sitting cross-legged on the ground as motionless as wooden stakes, slowly backed down the bluestone stairs, and turned to come to Hu Qian's side.

Hu Qian glanced at the six people and saw that they were all unharmed. Then he clasped his fists again towards the two gray-robed men and turned to walk towards the invisible door frame that was torn open by the invisible giant hand.

"Follow me closely and don't touch those spatial wrinkles, otherwise I can't save you." When they were about to pass through the invisible door frame, Hu Qian tilted his head to remind them, then kept his upper body still, took a step, and stepped out of the door. Afterwards, Xiao Yuan and others followed carefully, not daring to make the slightest movement.

After safely passing through the invisible door frame, a wave of energy slowly rose up. Xiao Yuan looked back and saw that the torn invisible door frame had begun to slowly disappear. After a moment, an extremely solid space wrinkled wall reappeared, protecting the library behind it.

His eyes skipped over the imperceptible wrinkles in space and swept towards the door of the library. Xiao Yuan's face was slightly startled, and he saw that the two men in gray robes actually cast admiring glances at him at the same time.

Is it because of the dean?

Xiao Yuan thought thoughtfully, then bowed slightly to the two of them again, turned around and quickly caught up with Hu Qian and others in front of him, and then went into the cave they came from before.

With Xiao Yuan's departure, the two gray-robed men also disappeared mysteriously from the spot, but their voices echoed between heaven and earth.

"This kid actually won the favor of the dean. It seems that we have missed something!"

"Haha, this is the first time that old guy has sent us a message in all these years, right? He has been free and has been a hands-off boss for so many years!"

"He's the dean after all! Even if we put both of us together, I'm afraid we won't be his match."

"Well, let's pass the news to Su Qian and let him have a headache!"

"Hey hey hey!"

"Hey hey hey!"

In the spacious study, Hu Qian looked at the slowly closing study wall, then turned to Xiao Yuan and the other six standing in the room and said with a smile: "Well, you have received your rewards. You will enter the inner courtyard in the afternoon. You will have the chance to complain then. I hope you have had a good rest during these days."

Looking at Hu Qian's smiling face, Xiao Yuan curled his lips helplessly. He has been running around these days!

"By the way, I remind you again that if you want to avoid being bullied by the seniors when you first enter the Inner Court, you must have stronger fists than them. Of course, the students who can enter the Inner Court are basically the best students in the Outer Court. They all have strong cultivation talents. In addition, the Inner Court has its own unique training method. It may be difficult for you newcomers to catch up with their progress." Hu Qian swept his eyes over the six people and said, "So, I advise you to try your best to give up the gaps and cooperate with each other. Otherwise, the consequences will be unpleasant."

"Will we be killed and crippled by those guys?" Hu Jia rolled his eyes. Except for Xiao Yu, the others were also a little noncommittal. To be able to become the top five in the selection, who among them does not have skills?
"That's not the case. After all, this is an academy, not a battlefield. But it's not a good feeling to be trampled on by someone's strength, right? Which of you guys isn't arrogant?"

Hu Qian shook his head and said with a smile.

"Thank you for the reminder, Vice President. We will pay attention to it." Xiao Yuan nodded slightly, bowed to Hu Qian, and then retreated with the three people from his family. Afterwards, Hu Jia and the other two also slowly retreated.

"These little guys don't know the pain until they hit the wall. Once you enter the inner courtyard, you will know how difficult it is to survive there. There is no shortage of geniuses there."

Looking at the people who left, Hu Qian sat on the chair, tapped his fingers on the table, and spoke slowly.

At the same time, in a very distant place, endless thunder formed a huge thunder pool, in which an old man was muttering.

"I almost lost all my face. I have to teach this kid a lesson next time I see him. He doesn't know how to respect the dean at all!
Luckily, I reacted quickly. I seem to have seen this dual-attribute fighting spirit somewhere before? Where was it? "

Thunder roared, and the old man's voice was gradually covered.
In the afternoon, when Xiao Yuan and the other six came to Vice President Hu Qian's study again, they saw that the open space in front of the door was already filled with a lot of people. These people were divided into many large and small groups, each of them talking and laughing in a low voice. Among these groups, Wu Hao and Hu Jia had the largest circle.

But when they saw Xiao Yuan and three others walking towards them, their laughter and chatter suddenly stopped, and they all looked at Xiao Yuan with awe.

One person swept the entire selection competition, knocked out more than a dozen people in a row, and defeated Hu Jia and Wu Hao without showing any embarrassment. Such terrifying strength undoubtedly won the respect of everyone.

Xiao Yuan and his three companions walked straight through the crowd and came to the front of the open space. They exchanged glances with Hu Jia and Wu Hao and nodded slightly as a greeting.

Seeing this, the two of them did not pretend to be pretentious, but nodded at him, and their attitude was obviously much better. Obviously, they were about to enter the inner courtyard, and what Hu Qian said was not completely without effect on them. When they first entered the inner courtyard where many strong people gathered, if they were not united, they would probably suffer some hardships. Although the two of them were arrogant, they were not stupid. It would be best if they could avoid suffering unnecessary hardships.

At this time, the open space was surrounded by many other students. In the hearts of all the students in the outer courtyard, being able to enter the inner courtyard to practice was a very eye-catching honor. Countless people were in awe as soon as they entered the academy. We are working hard in this direction. Therefore, every year when the students who pass the trial enter the inner courtyard, many people will come to see them off and watch.

More than ten minutes after Xiao Yuan and his three companions arrived here, the tightly closed study was finally opened. Vice President Hu Qian and several old men walked out slowly. Seeing their appearance, the whispers in the entire open space gradually died down. After a moment, it was completely silent.

After Hu Qian’s passionate speech, many students were looking forward to their future life in the inner courtyard.

"The inner courtyard is the core of Canaan College. Due to its confidentiality, most students from the outer courtyards, including the instructors, do not know its exact location. Therefore, we will send you to a certain place."

Hu Qian smiled and looked up at the blue sky in the distance. There, ten black shadows were flying towards them. After a moment, the black shadows gradually grew larger and turned out to be ten huge griffins.

Ten griffins cast huge shadows as they streaked across the academy, and finally stopped above where Xiao Yuan and the others were. As their wings flapped, strong winds blew, causing some of the students below to become unstable.

Hu Qian waved his hand at the gryphons in the sky, and soon the shadows came down on the ground. Finally, as the strong wind blew, ten gryphons stayed not far from the open space. Everyone glanced at them and found that behind the gryphons On the backs of the beasts, there were two people each controlling them.

"Okay, the time is up. Come up, classmates, in groups of five." Seeing the griffin beast descend, Hu Qian pointed with his hand and said with a smile.

Hearing Hu Qian's words, the students on the open space immediately turned around and swarmed into the open space. Then, like fleas, with only a rustling sound, these impatient guys climbed onto the broad back of the griffin. However, when they stepped on its back, the griffin's slightly slippery feathers made them suffer. Some of those who had unstable footing slipped and rolled down, and their bodies hit the stone slabs with a bang.

"Haha, boys, don't be so stubborn. There is a seat installed on the griffin beast. Don't even think about standing on its back. That is an ability only a great fighter can have." Hu Qian laughed loudly, then turned his head to Xiao Yuan and the others and said, "The top five, the six of you are in the same team, go ahead."

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan was not surprised. He pulled Xiao Yu and jumped directly onto the griffin. His feet stood firmly on the slippery feathers, like an iron tower, motionless. Seeing his steady movements, the students who had fallen off the griffin before couldn't help but admire him. They had tried to force their way onto the griffin before, and they knew very well how difficult it was to stand on those damn feathers.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yan and Xun'er, as well as Hu Jia and Wu Hao, also jumped up.

Hu Qian and several old men beside him looked around the open space, and when they saw that everyone had boarded the griffin, they looked at each other and nodded slightly. The former waved his hand, and Hu Qian and the three old men moved and flashed into the air. With a shake of their shoulders, four pairs of gorgeous fighting wings extended from behind them. The wings vibrated slightly, and their bodies hovered motionless in the midst of the many envious gazes in the open space.

Being able to condense the wings of fighting spirit and fly freely has always been the dream of many practitioners.

"We will personally escort you all the way." Looking down at the open space below, Hu Qian smiled and waved his hand. The person driving the griffin beast below let out a sharp whistle. Suddenly, the griffin beast's wings suddenly flapped. With a shock, the huge figure slowly rose into the sky along with the smaller and smaller shadow left on the ground.

"Yu'er, Xun'er, Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yan, come on! If you perform well in the inner courtyard, you will be able to have a vacation." When the griffins took off, a familiar voice suddenly came from below. Xiao Yuan and the other three looked down and found that it was Instructor Ruolin. At this moment, beside her, Xiao Ning, Xiao Mei, Qing Ning and the others were also looking up at a group of griffins that were gradually rising into the air. When they saw Xiao Yuan and the other three looking at them, they smiled and waved.

As the wings of the gryphon beast vibrated rapidly, the figure below became smaller and smaller, until finally, it was almost like an ant. Looking down at the entire Canaan Academy from such a high altitude, one could almost see all its locations.

Above the blue sky, ten huge griffins flapped their wings and flew past the endless back hill of the academy. Outside the griffins, Hu Qian and three old men formed a four-cornered shape. , surrounded the entire Griffin beast formation, and the powerful fighting spirit emerged outside their bodies. No matter how violent the wind was, it could not move their bodies at all.

A powerful Douhuang!

Looking at this scene, a trace of desire flashed in Xiao Yuan's eyes. The power that Queen Medusa injected into his body, after several uses and the passage of time, was now almost insufficient to support him to possess the power of a Dou Huang again.

Relying on the power of others is still not satisfying enough. You will feel at ease only when the power is in your own hands.
