At this moment, everyone present was petrified. Xiao Yan's ghost-like speed instantly defeated one of the top fifty students from the previous year's Outer Academy!
You must know that they had all cultivated in the Inner Academy for a year, and all of them had tasted the accelerated cultivation from the Fallen Heart Flame in the Heavenly Flame Training Gas Refining Tower. Their cultivation was at least that of a Da Dou Shi or higher, and some were even on par with Bai Shan, Wu Hao, and the others.
Turning the tables was absolutely impossible in the past! Such an outrageous scene made the two elders of the Inner Academy unable to believe it, staring at each other in stunned silence.
Xun Er covered her mouth and chuckled. She was not at all surprised that Xiao Yan would do such a thing, after all, they had done such 'bad things' together not long ago.
Xun Er walked gracefully to Xiao Yan's side. Although she didn't say a word, she had already shown her support for Xiao Yan with her actions.
Seeing Xun Er walk to Xiao Yan's side, the two elders of the Inner Academy came back to their senses, their beards bristling with anger, and said, "You brat is too arrogant. I am an elder, after all. Do you want to rob me?"
They had never heard of such a thing happening before. It was outrageous! The Outer Academy students were rebelling! They had never heard of anyone so arrogant. All the elders were once students of the Inner Academy. After the students reached the strength of Dou Wang, Canaan Academy had nothing more to teach them. Either they left Canaan Academy to venture out and make a name for themselves, or they continued to stay in Canaan Academy and become an elder.
Just like the two guardians of the Books Collection Pavilion, they could get the opportunity to enter the Books Collection Pavilion to choose Cultivation Methods and Dou Techniques after serving the students for a certain period of time. The elders and mentors of the Outer Academy would receive Fire Energy.
Xiao Yan carried the Mystic Heavy Ruler on his shoulder, curled his lips, glanced at Bai Shan, and said, "Alas, Elder, you have to understand the students. This Bai Shan is not strong enough. I thought he could call some Dou Ling level Inner Academy students to let me rob more Fire Energy, but is that all?"
Xiao Yan was a little puzzled. He had deliberately angered Bai Shan in order to get him to invite some stronger students from the Inner Academy to participate in this Fire Energy Scramble Competition.
The top fifty students from the previous year in front of him were basically ranked at the bottom. Xiao Yan didn't even need to look to know that these guys were also at the bottom of the Inner Academy, and their Fire Energy was probably not enough for their own use.
Even if Xiao Yan wanted to rob them, he wouldn't be able to get much.
He was hoping that Bai Shan could bring him some big fish.
But what made Xiao Yan feel depressed was that there wasn't even a Dou Ling here, and the highest cultivation was only a Seven-Star Da Dou Shi. Did they underestimate his Two-Star Dou Ling so much? These old students were crazy, daring to come and rob him? So Xiao Yan had no choice but to turn his attention to the two elders. These two elders must have a lot of Fire Energy.
When Bai Shan heard Xiao Yan's words, he was stunned for a moment. He realized that he had been schemed against by Xiao Yan! "Xiao Yan! Don't be too arrogant. My cousin is the captain of the Black Fiends Team this time! Their team is guarding the exit. The strength of these old students from the previous session is not at the same level as the Black Fiends Team at all!" Bai Shan snorted coldly. He was not afraid of Xiao Yan robbing his Fire Energy.
No matter how much Xiao Yan robbed now, when they got to the exit, his cousin Bai Feng would help him get revenge! Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a smile. He thought to himself, "Finally, there are fish to eat."
As an Alchemist, it was too easy for Xiao Yan to get information about the Inner Academy. A single medicinal pill allowed him to get all the information from the Inner Academy students.
In addition to the twenty or so people in front of him who were the top fifty from the previous Inner Academy selection competition and were qualified to rob the new students' Fire Energy, there were also ten people called the Black White Twin Fiends Team, who were specially blocking the exit of the forest, with the purpose of teaching some troublemaking students a lesson, that is, the top five students.
Xiao Ning, this sensible good boy, directly squatted on the ground and searched the Inner Academy student who had been defeated by Xiao Yan, taking out a blue Fire Energy card from his pocket.
"Young Clan Leader, here."
Xiao Yan took the Blue Crystal Fire Energy Card handed over by Xiao Ning, which flashed with the number 27, and his face was full of disgust.
"Only 27, after a year in the Inner Academy, that's all? How embarrassing." Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly, holding a black and a blue card in his hands, and then rubbed them together vigorously. As the light flickered, the number on Xiao Yan's black Fire Energy card instantly changed from five to 23, while the number on the light blue card shrank to 9.
"Only two-thirds can be taken?? Alas." Xiao Yan shook his head and sighed. He knew that Fire Energy was the hard currency in the Inner Academy. Whether it was entering the Heavenly Flame Training Gas Refining Tower or trading with students, it was all done with Fire Energy.
So Xiao Yan had long planned to rob a lot today.
Seeing that Xiao Yan had really robbed the old students' Fire Energy, the remaining twenty or so old students were no longer calm.
How could there be such a pervert among this year's Outer Academy freshmen! Dou Ling?! Are you kidding me! Obviously, Xiao Yan's reputation was not loud enough. After all, people from the Outer Academy wanted to know the news of the Inner Academy, but how could those Inner Academy students who considered themselves superior pay attention to the news of the Outer Academy?
Xiao Yan licked his lips and smiled, "Alright, you can choose to obediently leave your Fire Energy cards behind, or choose to run."
Vice President Hu Qian's eyelids twitched as he watched this scene. In the past, there were also cases of the top five freshmen uniting to resist the old students, but this was the first time he had seen someone like Xiao Yan directly robbing people single-handedly from the start.
"Very arrogant, but I've seen a lot of people like this before, but in the end, they don't do well in the Inner Academy." A tall Inner Academy student sneered.
Looking at his position, he seemed to be the leader of the old students' team. His skin was a strange gray-white, looking like a rock, and his arm, which was about a circle larger than ordinary people, also showed a great sense of power. Obviously, this young man should be the type with extremely strong physical strength.
Last year, he had also seen the top five of his class unite to resist, but the result was that they were beaten by the old students of the Inner Academy until they had no temper.
"Don't think that you can run amok in the Inner Academy just because your cultivation has reached Dou Ling. Even a Two-Star Dou Ling can't get on the Strong Ranking List in the Inner Academy."
A young man who always had a smile on his face shrugged at Xiao Yan and said, "I admit that you are indeed very strong, but we don't plan to fight fairly."
"Leng Bai, Xiu Yan, let's do it together, this kid is a Two-Star Dou Ling, he's not simple!"
"Okay!"
Xiao Yan sighed. He found this world so strange. How could every so-called genius think that if they could challenge someone of a higher level once, they could always challenge someone of a higher level?
Xiao Yan did not deny that these people could defeat those old, weak, sick, and disabled Dou Lings who had improved their cultivation with medicinal pills and had weak Dou Qi foundations, and who did not have powerful Dou Techniques and Cultivation Methods, but did he look like that?
"Xun Er, help me stop those who want to escape." Xiao Yan held the Mystic Heavy Ruler, and terrifying Dou Qi suddenly burst out from Xiao Yan's body.
!!!!!
The old students' expressions instantly changed, their pupils constricted, and an unspeakable pressure descended. At this moment, they felt as if a demon had grabbed their necks, and they couldn't even force a sound from their throats.
Even the eyes of the two Dou Wang elders changed.
"This kid!"
Xiao Yan held the Mystic Heavy Ruler in one hand, his voice coming from deep within his throat: "I originally wanted to play a little hide-and-seek, but I've changed my mind. I've decided to just take the Fire Energy Cards from your corpses."
"Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler!"
Xiao Yan didn't waste any more words and directly unleashed a Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler at the twenty-odd Inner Academy students in front of him.
He wanted to make these people understand that not all Dou Ling (Fighting Spirit)s were the same as the ones they had fought before, and some things couldn't be compared.
"Earth Rank Dou Technique!!"
The two elders' expressions changed drastically, and they gasped! This guy had actually cultivated an Earth Rank Dou Technique!!!
The Mystic Heavy Ruler emitted a scarlet light, and as Xiao Yan swept it horizontally, a crescent-shaped red ruler-light instantly slashed towards the twenty-odd Inner Academy students who only possessed the strength of Da Dou Shi (Great Battle Master).
"Defense!!!"
"Be careful!"
These twenty-odd Inner Academy students also had some practical experience. Sensing that Xiao Yan was about to unleash a big move, defensive Dou Techniques rose up one after another.
But just like in the selection competition, Xiao Yan's cultivation was suppressed, and coupled with the perfected Earth Rank Dou Technique Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler, those Mystic Rank defensive Dou Techniques were as fragile as paper in front of the Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler's ruler-light.
Walls of earth and barriers of water offered no resistance whatsoever in front of the Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler.
"How can it be so strong!"
The young man called Leng Bai watched as his Mystic High-Rank defensive Dou Technique only managed to block Xiao Yan's attack for a moment. He was stunned, forgetting how to even run.
He had not only fought with Dou Ling (Fighting Spirit) elders from some forces in the Black-Corner Region, but also with several star students in the Inner Academy who had reached the Two-Star Dou Ling (Fighting Spirit) level, but none of them could compare to Xiao Yan.
Boom, boom, boom! The flames exploded, and the fire tongues of the Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler burned all the surrounding trees to ashes.
As the flames receded, Xiao Yan helplessly spread his hands. This was the reason he hadn't gone all out against Bai Shan. As the flames receded, two figures stood in front of all the Inner Academy students.
The two elders were so surprised that they couldn't speak.
Those new Inner Academy students might not have seen an Earth Rank Dou Technique, but how could they, as Dou Wangs, not have seen one?
It was already outrageous enough that a nineteen-year-old Outer Academy student had reached the Dou Ling (Fighting Spirit) level, but now this student had also mastered an Earth Rank Dou Technique!! "Damn it, does this kid really want to rob us both!" Elder Su transmitted his voice to Elder Qing, the other elder. He had initially thought Xiao Yan was joking, after all, a Two-Star Dou Ling (Fighting Spirit) robbing Dou Wangs was just courting death.
Moreover, Xiao Yan was so young.
But now, looking at it, good heavens, he was serious!
The two elders were sweating profusely. With the power of Xiao Yan's Earth Rank Dou Technique, although it could pose a threat to them, it was impossible to defeat two Dou Wangs.
But they couldn't be sure if Xiao Yan had any other trump cards. What if they really got robbed! They would be nailed to the pillar of shame!
A strange glint flashed in the eyes of Elder Su and Elder Qing.
Elder Su cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, you've lost. Hand over your Fire Energy Cards to Xiao Yan."
!!!!!!? "Elder Su, we haven't lost yet!"
Suddenly, a voice filled with unwillingness rang out. Everyone's eyes swept over, and it turned out to be Xiu Yan, who had been so frightened by Xiao Yan's Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler that he had fallen to the ground. At this moment, the latter's face was flushed red.
"That's right, we haven't lost yet, we can still fight!"
"The Dou Technique just now had a lot of its power blocked by our combined efforts. With our strength, we will definitely be fine!"
Hearing Xiu Yan's words, the other Inner Academy students echoed in unison.
If nearly thirty of them came to the Fire Energy Competition, not only failing to snatch Fire Energy, but also being robbed, they would be laughed to death.
"All of you shut up!" Elder Su's expression darkened, and he shouted coldly.
Seeing Elder Su's anger, everyone wisely closed their mouths, not daring to speak anymore.
"If I hadn't intervened earlier, would you still be standing here?" Elder Su turned his head and sternly said to the old students with unwilling faces.
Elder Qing, who was beside him, also said indifferently, "Elder Su is right, you should hand over your Fire Energy Cards. Losing is losing, what's the point of making excuses? If you're not convinced, you can challenge Xiao Yan after the new student period a month later."
Now the two elders had already decided, regardless of anything else, they would first try to please Xiao Yan! They were truly afraid of this mysterious and unpredictable young man.
Xiao Yan put the Mystic Heavy Ruler back into his Storage Ring, standing with his hands behind his back, a look of arrogance on his face. He gave Xiao Ning a look.
Receiving Xiao Yan's signal, Xiao Ning strode forward with an air of utter indifference, just like the lackey of some young master, swaggering as he collected the Fire Energy Cards from those Outer Academy veterans who were gnashing their teeth in anger.
Including the veteran who had been stomped on by Xiao Yan at the beginning, there were exactly thirty people. All the Fire Energy from their thirty Fire Energy Cards was transferred to Xiao Yan's Fire Energy Card, instantly causing Xiao Yan's Fire Energy Card to soar to four digits! Reaching an astonishing 1250!
Seeing the number on Xiao Yan's Fire Energy Card, even Vice President Hu Qian, who hadn't left yet, was taken aback. Getting so much Fire Energy on the first day of school absolutely created a new record in the Inner Academy's history! Even for the Strong Ranking List students in the Inner Academy, earning over a thousand Fire Energy wasn't an easy task.
"Only a little over a thousand? You guys are really useless." Xiao Yan said with extreme disdain. Thirty people only managed to cough up a little over a thousand Fire Energy, what a disgrace.
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, those veterans were so angry that they almost risked their lives to fight Xiao Yan.
He robbed them and then complained they were poor?! Xiao Yan slowly looked at the new students watching the show from the side, and said lightly, "Have you watched enough? It's time to pay up."
!!?
All the new students were dumbfounded. He was going to rob them too??? "Xiao Yan, we are all new students."
"That's right, we should unite together."
Xiao Yan crossed his arms and said lightly, "You didn't stand on my side just now, how do I know if you're not just fair-weather friends."
"Stop talking nonsense, just hand it over, don't force me to take action. Even if my Dou Qi isn't full right now, dealing with you is just a piece of cake."
The thirty veterans couldn't beat Xiao Yan, so these forty-three new students were even less likely to succeed. Moreover, Xun Er and the others were behind Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan was confident that he had the ability to rob the entire field, which was why he dared to be so arrogant.
"Ahem, Xiao Yan, there are many things that one person can't do in the Inner Academy. I suggest you establish a force and pull in some capable people." Vice President Hu Qian said lightly from the side.
The implication here was already very obvious: Give me some face, don't touch my granddaughter Hu Jia.
Xiao Yan glanced at the Vice President, thought for a while, and said, "Well, Hu Jia and Wu Hao's will be spared, you two owe me a favor."
These two were practically royalty, one was from the Enforcement Team, and the other's grandfather was the Vice President.
Hu Jia and Wu Hao looked at each other, smiling wryly without a word. They hadn't even entered the Inner Academy yet, and this Xiao the Great Devil had already offended both the new and old students.
And if they weren't mistaken, Xiao Yan's next target was the Black White Twin Fiends Team. Those two teams were the real prize, and Xiao Yan had probably been eyeing them for a long time.
In the end, a total of forty-one new students, each only able to get three points of Fire Energy, added up to a pitiful 123. Xiao Yan looked at the 1373 on the Fire Energy Card, he knew that this was actually not much. He still had a clan to support, if he didn't seize more Fire Energy now, how would he revitalize the Xiao Clan's glory when he got to the Inner Academy!
Seeing Xiao Yan looking over, Elder Su said with forced composure, "Xiao Yan, don't waste time. If you can break through the Black White Twin Fiends Team and reach the exit, there will be an extra reward."
As soon as he heard that these two elders were the ones giving out rewards, Xiao Yan immediately put on another face, smiling and said, "Don't worry, Elders, I will definitely live up to your expectations."
"Hey Bai Shan, you have a map, right? Lead the way. I hope your cousin has more Fire Energy, don't disappoint me."
Seeing Xiao Yan looking at him with a smile, Bai Shan couldn't help but swallow. He finally felt regret now. If his cousin Bai Feng couldn't beat Xiao Yan, then it was certain that his life in the Inner Academy would be worse than death!
"It's okay, it won't happen, my cousin has been in the Inner Academy for many years, and he is also a Four-Star Dou Ling expert, it's impossible for him to not be able to beat Xiao Yan. My cousin will definitely win!" Bai Shan now pinned all his hopes on his cousin.
At this time, deep in the forest, ten Inner Academy veterans wearing black and white clothes were sitting on the branches, chatting idly.
"Bai Feng, why aren't you cultivating in the Heavenly Flame Training Gas Refining Tower and instead running here to be the captain of the Black White Twin Fiends? The Fire Energy given by this task isn't much, right?" A fair-skinned young man turned his head to look at a young man not far away wearing black clothes, whose face was somewhat similar to Bai Feng's.
He had just entered the Dou Ling stage not long ago and needed some Fire Energy, but Bai Feng had already reached the Four-Star Dou Ling stage and was working hard to enter the Strong Ranking List.
How could he have time to earn these small tasks?
Bai Feng slowly opened his eyes, looked at Luo Hou, the captain of the White Fiends Team, and said slowly, "Luo Hou, don't take it lightly. This year's new students are particularly strong. I heard there is a Two-Star Dou Ling."
"Two-Star Dou Ling?!!!"
Not to mention Luo Hou, the others in the White Fiends Team instantly changed their expressions when they heard this. A new student who is a Two-Star Dou Ling??
He had relied on the acceleration of the Heavenly Flame Training Gas Refining Tower in the Inner Academy to barely reach the Dou Ling stage after so many years!
"So you knew about it and came here specifically? To protect the reputation of the veterans?" Luo Hou's expression was solemn. Although he could also defeat a Two-Star Dou Ling, it was naturally more secure with Bai Feng around.
"Hmph, what reputation or anything, that guy offended my cousin, that's all."
