Chapter 71: Academy Library

  After the inner courtyard selection competition ended, according to the rules, the top 50 students will have a few days to prepare for entering the inner courtyard.

  The top five will wait for the notice from above and enter the academy's library together.

  As the top five rewards, they can rely on their own strength and luck to get something that belongs to them.

  Needless to say, the foundation of Canaan Academy, this reward is particularly expected by others, not to mention Chen Guan.

  On this day, Chen Guan rarely did not practice, and sat in front of the small building with Gangzi to chat.

  They were about to enter the inner courtyard, and Gangzi, the "light bulb" placed by Sister Yaoye, would be difficult to contact for a long time.

  "You are now at the ninth level of fighting spirit, and it's time to prepare for the promotion to a fighter. The outer courtyard is still rich in various resources. You can use your contribution points to exchange for a set of medicinal materials for gathering qi powder, and I will help you refine one. With your talent, you should have a chance to enter the inner courtyard next year. Come back to me then."

  Chen Guan was kind and well-intentioned, and he and Gangzi were barely friends. If possible, he didn't mind helping him, after all, it was just a piece of cake.

  However, after hearing this, Gangzi scratched his head.

  Then, he took out a jade bottle from his ring.

  "Actually, the princess gave me a Qi Gathering Powder before you and I came out. I'm almost done with it. I can take it after a while. I will definitely enter the inner courtyard to find you next year."

  Chen Guan was silent, wanting to say something but stopping.

  Thinking about it carefully, it seems to be okay.

  Zhao Gang has good talent. If he grows normally, he will be a Douling Spirit in the future and have the hope of becoming a Douwang. In the Jiama Empire, this is considered a pillar of talent, and it is reasonable to give him more resources.

  It's understandable, but it makes me a little embarrassed.

  "Forget it, you should practice well in the outer courtyard in the future, and don't waste time and energy deliberately asking about me. I will write back regularly. The competition in the outer courtyard is not as fierce as that in the inner courtyard, but it is not too little. Be smart when encountering things. After all, I am the first to enter the inner courtyard, and I still have some reputation. We should take advantage of it. We don't bully others, but we can't let people look down on us."

  Chen Guan thought of Gangzi when he was a child. At that time, he was very high-spirited and thoughtful, but he never expected that he would become stupid when he grew up.

  He couldn't help but remind him. Zhao Gang, who had become a royal figure, nodded in response. In the past, he thought he was Gangge, but now, he is Gangzi.

  The two chatted casually, and a beautiful girl with a delicate appearance ran towards the small building and stopped 20 or 30 meters away.

  "Chen Guan, the vice president asked me to call you. We should go to the library."

  "Okay, thank you!"

  This is good news.

  Chen Guan responded, stood up, patted Gangzi on the shoulder, and followed.

  In the spacious and bright room, several tall bookshelves are arranged vertically and horizontally. The bookshelves are filled with various ancient books, and the fragrance of books is strong.

  Hu Qian sat behind the table, carefully flipping through the materials in his hands. Four young men in college uniforms stood in front of the table, standing straight, looking a little nervously, and only the sound of turning pages could be heard.

  The silent atmosphere was broken until Chen Guan finally arrived.

  "Vice Dean."

  After greeting, Chen Guan came to stand beside the four people.

  There is no doubt that these four people are the other four people in the top five of this inner courtyard selection competition. They are all strong. Chen Guan has fought with them.

  Among them, the girl who just called him is called Jiang Shu, and the most sturdy and strong boy is called Yuan Zhenshan.

  The boy who looks as thin as a monkey, but has a sly look in his eyes is called Nie Xian. His strength is not the strongest, but he left the deepest impression on Chen Guan.   

  That day on the ring, this guy was obviously a wind attribute, and his fighting skills were mainly swift, but he shouted out the names of heavy earth-based fighting skills.

  The last taciturn boy was called Li Changan, the strongest, a six-star master. If it weren't for the freak Chen Guan, he would have been the last one standing.

  "Well, it's good that you're all here."

  "You all know the rules of the selection competition, and you must have been looking forward to today for a long time. I won't waste my words. Let's go, little guys, I'll take you to the library. What you can get depends on your luck."

  Putting down the information in his hand, Hu Qian looked at Chen Guan more.

  He was a fighting spirit when he entered school, and at this age, he must be a genius that is extremely valued by any force. He was hidden like a treasure, but he came to Canaan College.

  To be honest, he was quite curious about the thoughts of the royal family of the Jiama Empire and what they were doing.

  However, Canaan College is open to all students. As long as the background is clean and there is no ill will towards the college, there is no reason for them to reject him. So they just let him go and just pay more attention to him.

  Hu Qian stood up and pushed the bookshelf behind him to reveal the wall. He casually slapped his hands a few times. With a rumble, the wall cracked to both sides, revealing a dark passage.

  "Follow me."

  Waving to the five people, Hu Qian went into the passage alone.

  Jiang Shu, Nie Xian, and Yuan Zhenshan all looked at the young man who won the championship. Just when Chen Guan was about to catch up, Li Changan beside him went ahead.

  "Let's go too."

  The library is not a place where whoever goes there first can get the good stuff. Chen Guan didn't care. He greeted and followed the three people into the passage. It

  looked pitch black outside, but after entering, he found that there was something special inside.

  The walls of the passage were inlaid with huge pearls for lighting. The soft light was not much darker than the room outside.

  Following behind Hu Qian, several people were silent.

  After walking for nearly a quarter of an hour, the light ahead gradually grew stronger. The end of the passage was approaching, and everyone quickened their pace.

  After a moment, everyone walked out of the end of the passage and looked at the scene in front of them in surprise.

  This was obviously a valley groove, with steep cliffs on three sides and straight peaks reaching into the clouds, as if there was no end in sight.

  Between the cliffs, there was a wide open space, with a huge and magnificent ancient pavilion standing there, with an ancient plaque hanging on it, with three large characters looming and extremely eye-catching.

  Book Pavilion!

  There was a cliff at the entrance of the passage, and there was a cableway that connected to the cliffs around the book pavilion, which looked extremely shocking.

  At this point, even the deputy dean Hu Qian put away his casual expression and became much more serious.

  He took the cableway, climbed onto the open space, and stood in the open space outside the book pavilion.

  Hu Qian took a few steps forward alone, bowed respectfully in the direction of the library, and said,

  "Hu Qian from the outer courtyard, according to the rules, bring the top five of this year's inner courtyard selection competition here, please open the door!"

  His voice was filled with fighting spirit, lingering and echoing in the valley, extremely empty.

  Just as Nie Xian and the others were wondering, suddenly, at the door of the library, two gray-robed figures appeared strangely.
