Chapter 16 After the Competition
Walking slowly on the forest path in the academy, Xiao Yun held his head with his hands, and did not pay much attention to the burning gazes from the students around him. Ever since he won the first place in the inner school trials two days ago, this kind of gaze has been following him, the kind that he cannot avoid.
At first, Xiao Yun felt a little annoyed. He was very uncomfortable with this kind of gaze, which was the same as the one he saw when visiting the animals in the zoo in his previous life. However, over time, he got used to it. After all, people were just staring at him and did not disturb his life. Xiao Yun could not just rush up and beat up everyone who was looking at him.
Today is three days away from the end of the trials. In these days, Xiao Yun not only completely recovered the fighting spirit consumed in the competition, but also completely stabilized his strength at the level of a seven-star master fighter. His condition is almost always at the peak. The fighting spirit in his body is like a flood, which makes Xiao Yun feel comfortable all over.
According to the rules of the academy, within seven days after the end of the trials, the top fifty students in the trials must prepare to go to the inner courtyard, and Xiao Yun and the top five can choose a time within these seven days to enter the academy's library. As a reward, they are eligible to rely on luck and choose a treasure technique that suits them.
Xiao Yun was also somewhat interested in the Canaan Academy's library. After all, there were many treasures inside. Although Xiao Yun had no shortage of martial arts and fighting skills at this stage, who would complain that they had mastered too much? However, according to the rules, in order to enter the library, the top five must enter together. Among the top five, Fang Wen, who was the weakest, was still lying in the academy's infirmary and would probably have to stay there for another two or three days.
"I hope to get something suitable for myself in the library." The warm sunlight shone through the gaps between the branches and onto Xiao Yun's body. He murmured in his heart with hope.
"Cousin Xiao Yun, we are here!"
As Xiao Yun was walking slowly, a rough voice suddenly sounded in front of him. Hearing the voice, Xiao Yun looked in the direction of the voice. In a small pavilion in front of Xiao Yun, three men were sitting in it. One of them stood up and shouted excitedly when he saw Xiao Yun coming. The
students around heard the man's shout and looked at him with envy. With Xiao Yun's prestige in Canaan Academy, many people knew that Xiao Yun was just from an inconspicuous small family in the Gama Empire - the Xiao family. But now no one can ignore the Xiao family anymore, because this small family has produced a peerless monster!
"Alas, if only there was a genius like Xiao Yun in my family, then my family would rise."
Most of the Canaan students had this idea, but unfortunately Xiao Yun was not a cabbage on the street, but a genius that only appears once in a century!
"Sorry, Xiao Yun is late. You three brothers have been waiting for me for a long time, right?" Xiao Yun quickly approached the three people, clasped his fists with an apologetic look, and then sat down to chat with them.
The three people from the Xiao family were the two brothers Xiao Long and Xiao Hu and Xiao Ding. Xiao Yun hoped that he could give the Xiao family a little more help before going to the inner courtyard, so he found a time and called the three people out together.
"No, no, we just came a while ago." Among the three, Xiao Hu, who had the most lively personality, answered naively, and Xiao Long on the side also nodded in agreement.
"My three brothers, I will go to the inner courtyard to practice in a few days. The outer courtyard and the inner courtyard are not in the same place, so I want to give you some resources for practice before I leave."
"Cousin Xiao Ding should have practiced the martial arts and fighting skills I brought back in the family before, right?"
"Yes, when I was in the family, my father asked me to bring a few copies of martial arts and fighting skills to Canaan Academy." "Okay,
I'll give you some pills to help you break through to the fighter as soon as possible."
After saying that, Xiao Yun took out a jade box containing pills from the storage ring and handed it to Xiao Ding. "Here are some pills that speed up the cultivation of fighting spirit, and a pill of gathering spirit powder. When you reach the ninth level of fighting spirit, you can take it to help you condense the fighting spirit cyclone 100%, thereby breaking through to the fighter."
"As for my two cousins, it just so happens that your fighting spirit has the same attribute, both of which are wood-attributed fighting spirit. This is the intermediate Xuan-level technique 'Qingmu Jue', and the matching intermediate Xuan-level fighting skill 'Kuang Long Xuanmu'. If used by someone who has practiced 'Qingmu Jue', the power of this fighting skill can reach the advanced Xuan-level."
"And here are some elixirs to assist fighters and masters in their training. They are all left over from my previous practice. I'll give them all to you."
Seeing Xiao Yun constantly taking out training resources that the three of them could not normally access, the three of them were all shocked. In the end, it was Xiao Hu who reacted, "Cousin Xiao Yun, that's enough, that's enough for us to practice."
"Thank you, cousin Xiao Yun." The two also quickly responded and thanked Xiao Yun.
"No need to do that. Since we are from the same family, we should support each other. And with my current cultivation level, these resources can only help me a little bit, so it's better to give them to you."
"Three brothers, I will go to the inner courtyard to practice in the future. I may not be able to be there in the first time when you encounter trouble, but if it is really a matter of life and death, you can go to my teacher, Elder Huo, first. You are my same clan, and my teacher will help you when the time comes."
Xiao Yun talked to the three people earnestly. Xiao Yun really has feelings for the Xiao family, so he doesn't want the people of the Xiao family to have any problems, and he will help them as much as he can.
The three of them watched Xiao Yun leave. His small back left a majestic figure in their hearts. "Don't worry, cousin Xiao Yun, we will definitely work harder to cultivate and live up to your expectations. We will strive to meet you in the inner courtyard as soon as possible!"
...
On the last day before entering the inner courtyard, Xiao Yun was sitting in Elder Huo's courtyard, listening to his teacher teaching him the skills of refining medicine.
"For a pharmacist, a good flame can increase the success rate by 20 to 30%. Now your flame is also a sixth-level beast fire. It is enough to refine pills below the sixth grade, but if you want to go higher, you will need a higher-level beast fire or exotic fire."
"Exotic fire, I remember there is one in the inner courtyard, but unfortunately..."
Bang bang bang!
Elder Huo was just about to talk to Xiao Yun about the strange fire in the inner courtyard when he heard a knock on the door of his own courtyard.
"Grandpa Huo, Grandpa asked me to ask Brother Xiao Yun to go to his place."
"It seems that he wants you to go into the library, little brat, seize this opportunity, don't be too ambitious, and try to take only what you need."
Patting Xiao Yun on the shoulder, Elder Huo waved his hand to open the door, urging Xiao Yun to quickly meet up with Hu Gan.
