Chapter 28 Entering the Inner Courtyard
The Fire Energy Hunting Competition is over...
As Xiao Yun defeated the White Evil Team Captain Xu Feng, he was thinking about helping Fang Wen and the other four when Elder Su, who was watching the excitement on the hillside, showed up and stopped the fight.
"Okay, guys, you've won this Fire Energy Hunting Competition. No need to fight anymore."
Elder Su's slightly old voice slowly echoed in the rocky belt, causing all the fights to stop at this moment.
The other members of the White Evil Team opened their mouths slightly, wanting to say something, but when they saw Xiao Yun holding a spear beside them, they couldn't say anything in the end.
Elder Su looked around and said in a deep voice: "As the winners of this fire energy hunting competition, all freshmen can obtain ten days of fire energy, and Xiao Yun, Wang Hongjing, Gongsun Sibao, Ye Zhengfan, and Fang Wen will receive an extra reward of Blue Fire Crystal Card, plus thirty days of fire energy!"
"Blue Fire Crystal Card!"
Hearing the reward announced by Elder Su, there was a burst of excitement on the hillside, and envious eyes were looking at Xiao Yun and the other four in the open space.
"In the inner courtyard, the Fire Crystal Cards are divided into five colors from low to high: black, blue, cyan, red, and purple.
Black crystal cards are the lowest level crystal cards and can only be cultivated on the first and second floors of the Sky Fen Refining Qi Tower.
Blue crystal cards can be cultivated on the third and fourth floors. The others are pushed up in sequence."
"If you want to upgrade a Fire Crystal Card, you need to pay a certain amount of fire energy in exchange. It takes one hundred days of fire energy to upgrade a black crystal card to blue, and two hundred days of fire energy to upgrade a blue crystal card to cyan! Now that you have obtained the cyan Fire Crystal Card, it is equivalent to saving three hundred days of fire energy, which is no small amount."
Seeing the confusion of Fang Wen and the other three, Elder Su explained with a smile.
Then, Elder Su waved his hand, and five cyan crystal cards appeared in his hand. With a flick of his finger, the crystal cards shot towards Xiao Yun and the other five, and finally floated in front of them.
"The reward is already inside. After you pass the fire energy in the black crystal card, return the black crystal card to me."
Hearing this, Xiao Yun and the other five hurriedly took out the cyan crystal card. After a moment, the five black crystal cards with the fire energy cleared were returned to Elder Su.
"Okay, you guys wait here for a while, and the rest of the seniors, go into the forest and bring back all the new students!" Elder Su took the black crystal card and said with a smile. With a wave of his hand, the seniors on the hillside moved and all rushed into the dark forest.
"Thanks to the captain, we can enter the inner courtyard with such a reward." Fang Wen and the other four came to Xiao Yun's side, and said happily.
"You deserve it. If it weren't for you, I alone wouldn't be able to defeat the Baisha team."
Xiao Yun waved his hand, signaling that they didn't need to worry about it, and then found a big rock, sat down with legs crossed to recover.
...
Because Xiao Yun and the other five eliminated all the old students, the new students in the forest, except for a few unlucky ones, almost no one had their fire energy robbed, and they rushed to the finish line unimpeded.
After a while, the old students led all the new students back to the random stone slope.
Elder Su said a few words to the new students after they arrived. Then he led them to a gravel staircase and walked slowly up the hillside.
The gravel staircase was not very high. It only took one or two minutes for all the students to reach the last level and stand on the hillside. Looking forward, the scene that appeared in their field of vision made the new students take a deep breath of cold air.
"Is this the inner courtyard?" The new students on the hillside said with a little shock.
Behind the hillside is a huge sunken basin. The shape of this basin is like a huge meteorite falling from the sky and smashing out...
In the basin, tall buildings stand in it. Looking down from a high place, you can see flea-like figures constantly jumping on the buildings. The basin is surprisingly large. Even if you extend your sight forward, you can still only see tall buildings and lush trees.
It is hard for people to imagine that in the endless back mountain of Canaan Academy, there is such a strange place hidden.
"Little guys, welcome to the core of Canaan Academy, the inner courtyard!" Elder Su saw everyone's shocked look, clapped his hands and smiled.
"Since you have passed the fire hunting competition, all the freshmen should follow me back to the inner courtyard. I will settle you down first. From now on, you will be real inner courtyard students!"
With a wave of his hand, Elder Su turned into a blurry figure and flashed towards the basin below. After that, all the freshmen immediately followed and swooped down from the hillside.
...
Crack.
A wooden door was slowly pushed open, and the sun shone in. With the bright light, one could see the fine dust flying in the air.
The next moment, six shadows of different lengths walked in one after another. The leader, Elder Su, glanced at the small attic in front of him and said with a smile: "This will be where the five of you will live in the future. You can decorate it as you like."
"I'll remind you that in the inner courtyard, unless you are very powerful, it's not easy to get by alone. Because the inner courtyard emphasizes strength, the old students also divide their own territories. You will see these things in the future."
"So, we let you live together in the hope that you can form a team. In the hunting competition, you must have realized the power of teamwork, right? The strength of one person can hardly catch up with the effect of the team." Elder Su looked at the five people with a smile, "If you are not used to living with others, you can also join other forces. Those forces will spend a lot of energy to rent land, and the living environment is much better than that of freshmen. "
"With the strength of you top five, I believe many forces will scramble for you to join..."
After Elder Su chatted with everyone about the situation in the inner courtyard for a while, he got up and left, leaving the space to Xiao Yun and the other four.
"Tsk tsk, what Vice Dean Hu Qian said is true. If you want to do well in the inner courtyard, you either join a powerful force or rely on your own strength."
"The strong prey on the weak and the fittest survive. It's the same everywhere. The academy deliberately creates this atmosphere and hopes that we can adapt to the law of survival in advance. Only in the struggle can real strong people emerge."
"Boss, do you want to create a force? If you create one, I, Fang Wen, will be the first to join!"
"Create a force? No hurry, let me break through the fighting spirit first. The cultivation level of the great fighting master is still too low."
"...Boss, awesome."
The four people who were originally chatting enthusiastically fell silent when they heard Xiao Yun's Versailles. After a long time, Fang Wen uttered a few words.
The highest level among them was only a five-star Grand Fighter, and now Xiao Yun, who was so much younger than him, was actually too low in Grand Fighter level. The map cannon blasted the four people in the courtyard to a crisp on the outside and tender on the inside.
"What's wrong? Am I wrong?"
Seeing the four people staring at him closely, Xiao Yun asked with some confusion.
"That's for a genius like you who is a monster. For most people, Grand Fighter is already a very strong level." Fang Wen said bitterly, and the other three also nodded and agreed with what he said.
"Okay, I'm going to the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower to take a look. Do you want to go with me?" Seeing the four people's self-esteem being hurt, Xiao Yun touched his head a little embarrassedly and quickly skipped this unpleasant topic.
"No, boss. I still need to clean up the room."
"We are the same. Captain, go by yourself."
Fang Wen and the other three turned around and walked into the small building. Their self-esteem was hurt, and they were about to explode if they looked at Xiao Yun for one more time.
Pushing open the wooden door, Xiao Yun shrugged and headed towards the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower that he had been thinking about.
...
The area of the inner courtyard was somewhat beyond Xiao Yun's expectations. He ran all the way for nearly half an hour, but still did not reach the boundary of the inner courtyard. Along the way, he could often see some hot battle circles where people were fighting each other.
"The atmosphere here is quite fierce, and they will fight over a disagreement, but this is exactly what I want!" Xiao Yun thought to himself. The battle in the fire hunting competition made his fighting spirit more solid and his cultivation improved a lot. If he could often fight with some evenly matched opponents in the inner courtyard, he believed that he would soon be able to break through to the fighting spirit realm.
Suddenly, Xiao Yun's eyes swept around and found that on the road he was walking, more and more people gathered around him, one by one, exerting their speed to the extreme. On the trees and buildings on both sides, there were constantly flashing figures and whirring wind sounds.
"Looks like we're almost there." Xiao Yun couldn't think of anything else in the inner courtyard that could attract so many students except the Heavenly Refining Qi Tower.
With fighting spirit attached to his legs, Xiao Yun's figure turned into a stream of fiery red light, and he quickly rushed towards the figure in front of him. After a moment, Xiao Yun stopped behind a dark team.
He stood up and jumped onto the branches around him. Xiao Yun looked down at the scene below from a high place, his eyes passed over the dark crowd, and looked directly ahead. In front of the crowd, there was a sunken terrain. In the sunken terrain, there was an extremely large black tower, buried deep underground, with only a spire and a first-floor entrance exposed on the ground.
"This is the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower, right? It's protected by a space lock. Is it blocking the aura of the Falling Heart Flame?" Xiao Yun thought while standing on the tree branch. Yes, if there was no space lock, the aura of the strange fire would have been sensed by Han Feng who was also in the Black Horn Region. At the
same time, this kind of blockade can also suppress the riot of the Falling Heart Flame, so that it cannot break through the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower.
Seeing the figures coming one after another, the powerful ones among them did not follow the rules, and directly passed through the crowd and stood in front of everyone. Seeing this, Xiao Yun was too lazy to go down to line up, but stood quietly on the tree branch waiting.
