Chapter 74: Don't Rush! Keep the Fire Energy!
"Ha! So that's how he snatched the opportunity. Isn't it ridiculous? Just by taking a glance at it, it became Baicheng's?"
"Isn't Baicheng too domineering?"
"Hahaha! Although we often tease others as crazy in the inner court, we never expected a real crazy person to show up!"
"But as Xiao Ze said, the opportunities in the library are indeed enviable! To even have a seventh-grade pill!"
"Yeah! If I had known earlier, I would have done everything to get into the top five!"
The surrounding students discussed with amusement regarding Baifeng's behavior.
At the same time, they were also shocked by the depth of Canaan Academy.
To think that even a seventh-grade pill was available in the library!
Some former students regretted deeply upon hearing this.
It's likely that those who were once very close to the top five rankings regretted missing out on such a great opportunity.
Countless eyes were cast upon Xiao Ze.
This seemingly young freshman possessed both Earth Tier combat skills and a seventh-grade pill!
Moreover, he had just entered the inner court and already possessed such terrifying strength.
Easily defeating Baifeng, a three-star Battle Spirit practitioner!
If given a year, he would surely become a prominent figure in the top rankings!
They could already imagine the huge waves Xiao Ze would stir up after entering the inner court!
Everyone couldn't help but think of a phrase.
"Truly, as the elders said, the younger generation is formidable!"
Elder Lin chuckled, "Even the White Death Squad was defeated by you, little guy."
"You've also set a new record in the inner court, becoming the first student to single-handedly break through the entire Fire Energy Hunt!"
"With that, this year's Fire Energy Hunt comes to an end."
At this moment, Xiao Ze suddenly cupped his hands and said, "Please wait a moment, Elder!"
"Hmm? Little guy, do you have something else to say?" Elder Lin asked kindly.
"I would like Senior Baifeng and his team to hand over their fire energy cards," Xiao Ze requested.
Elder Lin was momentarily stunned, looking to the other elders beside him, then couldn't help but chuckle.
"This..." Baifeng's face turned pale, showing extreme reluctance.
The other four team members also wore expressions of unwillingness.
However, even if their faces were swollen from being hit, they wouldn't dare to say "we didn't lose" again.
After all, the power of that Earth Tier technique had already left a deep impression on them!
"Hmph! If you lose, you must admit it! What? Only senior students are allowed to snatch fire energy cards from freshmen? Freshmen can't take yours?" Elder Lin snorted, feeling very dissatisfied with Baifeng's hesitation.
Hearing the elder's cold snort, Baifeng's body trembled slightly.
With trembling fingers, he took out a blue crystal card.
The number on it made the surrounding students feel a burning sensation of envy—it was 136!
Baifeng handed over the fire energy card with a pained expression. This was something he had fought hard for in the arena!
Xiao Ze cheerfully accepted the fire energy card and swiftly rubbed it against his own black card!
The number on the blue fire energy card instantly changed to seven.
Taking the blue fire energy card, Baifeng's heart was bleeding!
If he had known that the Fire Energy Hunt would encounter such a monster...
He would have definitely not saved up so much fire energy, but exchanged it early for other pills or combat skills!
Now, months of accumulation had all gone to waste.
This was not something that could be described with just heartache; his heart was bleeding!
Xiao Ze then took the fire energy cards from the other four people and transferred the fire energy on them one by one.
Seeing more than four hundred extra fire energy all of a sudden, Xiao Ze's heart bloomed with joy.
Even if the four of them split it evenly, each person could get over a hundred fire energy.
With the previous accumulation, Xiao Ze and his team wouldn't have to worry about fire energy for the next few months!
"Haha, now that you have the fire energy, are you satisfied, little guy?" Elder Lin said with a smile, and Xiao Ze thanked him.
After all, even if Elder Lin ignored him and directly declared the end of the Fire Energy Hunt, Xiao Ze wouldn't have any way to object.
"Alright, have your teammates come out and receive their rewards."
When Xiaoxun'er and Han Yue appeared, they caused a sensation.
Countless students' eyes were focused on them, then gathered on Xiao Ze!
Looking at Xiao Ze's figure, why did he make people so envious!
With Earth Tier combat skills, seventh-grade pills, and three peerless beauties accompanying him.
"Xiao Ze's team members each receive a blue fire energy card," Elder Lin explained to them kindly.
"Fire energy cards are divided into five grades: black, blue, green, red, and purple, representing the access rights to different levels of the Sky Incineration Refining Tower."
"Black fire energy cards can access the first two levels, blue fire energy cards can access the third and fourth levels, and so on."
"To upgrade from black to blue, you need one hundred fire energy; to upgrade from blue to green, you need two hundred fire energy, and so on, which means you saved three hundred fire energy."
The eyes of the onlookers flashed with envy and jealousy. The vast majority of them did not have blue fire energy cards.
And now, four freshmen who had just entered the inner court could have what they never had.
How could this not make them feel envious and even jealous?
"Additionally, each person receives one hundred Sky Fire Energy, and Xiao Ze receives an additional one hundred Sky Fire Energy!"
Elder Lin slowly spoke, uttering words that made all the students gasp for air in shock!
Each person was directly awarded one hundred Sky Fire Energy!
Xiao Ze even directly received two hundred Sky Fire Energy.
Adding in the fire energy they snatched from the senior team earlier...
The current value of these four freshmen who just entered the inner court was already beyond their reach!
With a wave of his hand, Elder Lin suspended four blue fire energy cards in front of Xiao Ze and his team.
There were two hundred fire energy on Xiao Ze's fire energy card.
"Alright, transfer the fire energy from your black fire energy cards to the blue fire energy cards, then return the black fire energy cards to me."
Xiao Ze and the others quickly complied.
After the reward was completed, Elder Lin said to everyone, "This year's Fire Energy Hunt ends here! The ultimate winners are the Xiao Ze team!"
...
"Little guy, come with me. I'll settle you down and explain the rules of the inner court to you."
Elder Lin said to Xiao Ze and his team, while Elder Yan stayed here to wait for other freshmen.
Just as Xiao Ze and the others accepted Elder Lin's arrangement, the inner court was already stirring up a huge wave.
With the spread of the senior students who were watching, Xiao Ze's name resounded throughout the inner court.
Earth Tier combat skills!
Seventh-grade pills!
Single-handedly breaking through the Fire Energy Hunt!
Each of these topics could ignite discussion in the inner court, arousing envy.
And they all concentrated on one person!
Xiao Ze's name became famous among all the new and old students.
Apart from some students in seclusion for cultivation, there was not a single person in the inner court who did not know Xiao Ze's name!
Even some students on the strong list became interested in Xiao Ze.
At the same time, some began to look forward to a battle with Xiao Ze.
After all, how could such a monster not be interested in the strong list?
With the discussion sparked by Xiao Ze in the inner court, some people related to Xiao Ze also received attention.
For example, the two brothers, Baifeng and Baicheng.
They enjoyed the same level of attention as Xiao Ze.
But discussions about Xiao Ze were mostly words of envy.
While the two brothers mostly faced mockery and sarcasm.
