The next morning, Xiao Ling woke up from his sleep.
He sat down in the living room and began reading books about alchemy.
Everyone came down the stairs one after another and greeted each other.
After the last person, Lin Yan, arrived, Lin Xiuya asked: "Let's go and settle the issue of our faction today to avoid trouble later."
Xiao Ling nodded without commenting and said: "I'll leave the recruitment and management of the faction to you. I'll only be responsible for refining medicine for you. If faction members ask me to refine medicine, they can get a discount. Just consider it as a benefit of joining the faction."
"Don't worry, I will handle these things seriously, just treat it as an opportunity to experience my ability." Lin Xiuya replied.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you. I'll go out for a walk and try out the effect of the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower." After Xiao Ling finished speaking, he waved to everyone and left the dormitory.
Walking out of the pavilion, there is a green avenue, and on both sides of the avenue are the residences of other freshmen of this class. Han Yue and Xiao Xun'er's room is for two people and it is right next to the dormitory of Xiao Ling and the others.
Of course, compared with the small pavilion of Xiao Ling and his companions, the other houses are a little bit simpler. It seems that not everyone can enjoy this kind of treatment.
There is no shadow of a freshman on the road at this time. It must be that the fire hunting competition has been too tiring for the freshmen, so the freshmen did not get up so early.
Xiao Ling walked towards the dormitory of the two girls, took a quick look, and found that Han Yue was already practicing fighting skills in the yard. Xiao Xun'er should not have gotten up yet, so he did not see her figure. Seeing this situation, Xiao Ling did not intend to disturb Han Yue's practice, and walked to other places by himself.
After nearly ten minutes, Xiao Ling, who was walking slowly, slowed down his pace and looked up at the end of the road. There was actually a group of people blocking the intersection.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Ling couldn't help but frowned, guessing that this should be the old students who collected tribute.
When he reached the exit of the avenue, Xiao Ling didn't intend to pay attention to them, and found a direction where no one was blocking him.
At this moment, seven or eight old students wearing tower-shaped badges on their chests surrounded him, with a ferocious look on their faces.
Xiao Ling, who didn't want to waste time, saw that these people actually treated him as a soft persimmon, so he stretched out his hand and a spear appeared in his hand. He said in a bad tone: "Don't waste my time, or you will be in trouble."
A burly-looking man in black was very arrogant. He said to Xiao Ling with disdain: "Boy, hand over the fire energy card quickly, or you will be in trouble." As he said that, he raised his hand and punched Xiao Ling.
By slightly shifting his body position, Xiao Ling easily dodged the man's punch, knocked him to the ground with a backhand shot, then he activated vacuum palm to lift the man back in front of him, and lifted him up by pinching his neck with one hand.
Seeing this scene, everyone started to use their Dou Qi and prepared to beat up Xiao Ling together.
At this moment, an old student came from a distance and shouted to these people: "You guys stop it."
Then he smiled at Xiao Ling and said:"These guys are talking nonsense. Xiao Ling, you should leave. The rest of you, hurry up and get out of the way."
Nodding slightly, Xiao Ling didn't want to waste time on such a trivial matter, and said in a cold tone: "You robbing others has nothing to do with me, don't waste my and my friends' time, otherwise don't blame me for not being gentle in the future."
Looking at Xiao Ling's back, the burly man in black pried his companion's hand apart and asked in confusion, "Why did you let that guy leave? Didn't Brother Li Zhengyu say that the tribute fee of every new student must be collected? Although this person can enter the inner courtyard at such a young age, his talent is good, but his strength should not be high. He also came in at the bottom. Why should we, the Da Dou Shi, be afraid of him?"
The young man who had just arrived rolled his eyes at him when he heard this, and said in a serious tone, "You sneaked in? That's because you were not here yesterday and didn't see Xiao Ling and five other people robbing all the old fire energy. Otherwise, you wouldn't have said that."
"Really? How is that possible?" The man in black was a little bit incredulous when he heard this. In the Fire Energy Hunting Competition, there were many Douling masters, and they were ranked in the upper middle level in the entire inner courtyard. How could they be robbed by a kid who looked more than ten years younger than them? He couldn't accept it.
The man shook his head and said, "That's not the case. Especially Xiao Ling, who is only ten years old this year, has already reached the level of a Da Dou Shi and is also a fourth-grade peak alchemist. This talent is not comparable to those of us. Now you know why I won't let you do it."
"And his friends are all very strong and talented. We don't need to provoke them. Judging from Xiao Ling's attitude, he should not care about other freshmen. We just accept these."
"I understand." The man in black was speechless.
When the other old students who didn't know Xiao Ling's situation heard this, they also put Xiao Ling in a position that should not be provoked.
Xiao Ling didn't care much about this little episode.
Xiao Ling still knew a little about the tribute fee, which was paid by the freshmen to the old students.
This kind of thing should be considered as an unspoken rule in the inner courtyard of Canaan Academy.
This tradition is not stipulated by the academy. The academy only encourages competition. This kind of thing should be said to be an unspoken rule that is generated by theThis kind of thing should be said to be an unspoken rule that arises spontaneously with the encouragement of the academy .
Xiao Ling has long discovered that, and he doesn't know who started it first, the old students in both the outer and inner courtyards like to train the freshmen.
After each batch of freshmen are trained by senior students, in order to balance their mentality, they will start to target the freshmen after them when they become senior students, and the cycle repeats itself.
Xiao Ling doesn't care about this kind of thing and doesn't intend to care about it. He won't set up a faction to clean up the freshmen's ass like Xiao Yan did in the original book. Every time his subordinates are bullied. Every time his subordinates were bullied, he would ask Xiao Yan to come to the rescue. This kind of thing was a waste of time and thankless.
Xiao Ling and his friends plan to create their own faction to make their practice more convenient. In the future, if they want to find something, they only need to arrange their subordinates to find it, and it is also more convenient to inquire about some information.
...
No longer thinking about these trivial matters, Xiao Ling took out the inner courtyard map that he asked Elder Su for yesterday, confirmed the location of the Tianfen Qi Training Tower, and then ran quickly along the map.
The area of the inner courtyard was indeed very large, as Xiao Ling had expected.
He ran wildly for nearly half an hour, but still did not reach the boundary of the inner courtyard.
Along the way, Xiao Ling also felt the atmosphere of the inner courtyard more deeply.
On the way to the Tianfen Qi Training Tower, students can often be seen fighting in public. Outside these circles, there are still many people watching, obviously they are used to it. Some of the talkative people shouted at the occasional flaws of the two fighting people while watching, which made the two people in the circle more and more frightened. In the end, they could only withdraw with depressed faces.
This made Xiao Ling sigh: "The atmosphere in the inner courtyard is really very fierce. Although this kind of frequent fighting is not prohibited in the outer courtyard, unless there is a grudge, few people will find others to fight. After Lin Yan came to the inner courtyard, he should be able to spar with others as much as he wants."
After running for another twenty minutes or so, he glanced around and was somewhat surprised to find that, for some reason, more and more people were flocking to this road heading north, and each of them was running at their maximum speed. As a result, Xiao Ling could only see figures flashing past above the woods on both sides and the sound of breaking wind.
Seeing this, Xiao Ling roughly understood that they should be reaching the Tianfen Qi Training Tower soon. So he increased his speed and rushed forward.
