Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 291 The Outer Courtyard Brute Force King

Not long after, because it was getting late, Hu Qian and the others did not choose to let Hun Ruoruo rush to the inner courtyard, but specially arranged for her to stay temporarily in a quiet and leisurely guest room in the outer courtyard.

After saying goodbye to Hu Qian and the others, Hun Ruoruo, who came to the guest room courtyard alone, finally breathed a sigh of relief. She no longer had her previous gentle temperament. Instead, she lay down on the stone table in the courtyard without caring about her image, and her body became soft.

Feeling the coldness of the stone table, she half-closed her eyes and spoke in a long tone:

"What a hassle! They clearly agreed not to ask about the identity and background of special admissions students, but they still interrogated me for four or five hours. These old fogies really say one thing and do another."

A moment later, the slightly large ring on her index finger suddenly lit up with a pale white light.

"Haha, although Canaan Academy is renowned and holds a high status in the Northwest Territory, it's not considered top-tier. When have we ever seen a student as talented as you?"

Yao Lao's voice suddenly rang out, and then he transformed into an illusory mist-like body and said with a smile:
"Eighteen-year-old Five-Star Dou Huang is probably a rare existence even in the entire Central Plains. It's understandable that they have doubts. Don't forget, when I first met you, my teacher, I was also suspicious."

"Hehe, Master is different from them. Ruoruo hates people who say one thing and do another the most."

Seeing Yao Lao appear, Hun Ruoruo's starry eyes lit up slightly, and she responded with a smile: "No matter how Master was wary of me before, you have never broken your promise. You are a man of integrity!"

Hearing the girl's ever-changing praise, Yao Lao couldn't help but shook his head, feeling both amused and helpless. His gentle face was wrinkled with smiles, and it was obvious that he enjoyed it very much.

He had no children in his life, and the brat next to him not only caused trouble all the time, but also always called him an old man. When had he ever seen such a sugar-coated bullet without any affectation?

It's a good thing to have a daughter.
Today, Yao Lao finally understood why those old guys around him doted on their daughters and even granddaughters. He would do the same if he were in their place.

"As representatives of the academy, they protect the safety of countless students here, so it's understandable that they have some concerns. Now that they have successfully joined the academy, our goal has been achieved."

Yao Lao stroked his beard cheerfully, thought for a moment, and then said thoughtfully:

"However, there is one thing that has concerned me. I previously used my soul power to conduct a secret investigation, but was unable to detect the existence of the 'Fallen Heart Flame'. Could it be that the intelligence I provided was inaccurate?"

"Master, rest assured. The biggest difference between the two courtyards of Canaan Academy is the 'Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower' in the inner courtyard. It is said that students who enter the Qi Refining Tower will experience a burning of the heart fire. Doesn't this ability sound familiar to you?"

"Heart Fire Tempering the Body. Hmm, this method of accelerating Dou Qi cultivation is indeed somewhat similar to the Fallen Heart Flame."

The Fallen Heart Flame is a terrifying existence known as the 'Cheating Device for Cultivation'. Although its effectiveness will decrease as the level of cultivation increases, this rare treasure that can accelerate the speed of initial cultivation is absolutely precious.

Canaan Academy is willing to use the Fallen Heart Flame to temper students' fighting spirit, which is truly a generous act.
"No wonder the elders previously proposed a rule prohibiting you from using the Tiantian Refining Qi Tower. In my opinion, the Fallen Heart Flame is probably suppressed at the bottom of the tower."

A glint of brilliance flashed in his eyes, Yao Lao sighed softly, and then said helplessly:

"The other party is currently on guard, so we can't afford to tear our faces off and forcefully snatch it from them. After all, even though the dean of Canaan College has been missing for years, in terms of strength, he's still considered a top figure in Zhongzhou."

"Master, don't worry. Although I can't go to the Qi Refining Tower that day, I can use the 'fire energy' used to exchange for resources in the inner courtyard."

As she spoke, Hun Ruoruo spun the ancient ring with her index finger, then she grabbed it with her small hand, took out a blue card, and raised it towards Yao Lao.

"Hey, Master, I'm afraid you forgot that we still have our senior brother here."

Looking at the bright red word "Five" on the card, Yao Lao was stunned, then he smiled and nodded.

He almost forgot that his new disciple had many little thoughts.
The inner court trials were progressing at full speed, quickly drawing to a close. Ever since Xiao Yan had initially displayed such terrifying physical strength, the other contestants no longer dared to view him as the seemingly powerless, frail figure he had been. Instead, they avoided him as if he were a snake or scorpion, fearing a confrontation.

After all, he could beat a strong man comparable to a great fighting master with just one finger, leaving him without any chance to fight back. If he used his fighting spirit, the result would be predictable. Even the strongest figures would probably not be able to defeat him!

Having said that, there is obviously no shortage of fearless bellicosity in Canaan Academy. It seems that Bai Shan and the others, who once regarded Xiao Yan as an imaginary enemy, joined forces in the finals to try to force out Xiao Yan's Dou Qi cultivation.

The result is naturally self-evident. Originally, fighting against these great fighting masters was almost no challenge for Xiao Yan. With Xun'er's help, he regarded the finals as a whetstone to test his physical recovery. He attacked one after another and kicked everyone off the field swiftly.

After this battle, Xiao Yan's reputation in the outer courtyard finally reached an unattainable peak—

Dou Qi cannot be invaded, and weapons cannot hurt. It can be said that Xiao Yan's incredible physical body completely broke the disdainful attitude of many students towards body training, and even cast a considerable shadow on Xiao Yan's punch.

"Hey, the Brute King of the Outer Courtyard!"

After the selection competition came to an end, unlike Bai Shan who had a frightened look on his face and hidden resentment, the red-clothed girl who had previously commented on Xiao Yan's strength, ignored her injuries and took the initiative to come forward.

"Outer Court. Brute King?"

Hearing the other party's extremely strange way of naming, Xiao Yan's mouth twitched and he almost fell down the stairs. He couldn't help but look at the girl in front of him with strangeness, who was secretly smart and cunning.

This woman seems to be called "little witch" by others, right?

This kind of lively personality is indeed somewhat similar to Ruoruo, but compared with that witch, the other party is obviously a little less interesting.

Well, the strength is a little bit weaker.
The personality is a little worse.
The city is a little worse.
The appearance is a little worse.
"Hey, you're so arrogant!"

Hearing the other party's words, Xiao Yan suddenly woke up, and couldn't help but hurriedly cursed in his heart, and smiled awkwardly:
"Uh, sorry, it's just that the name "young lady" took me a while to react. According to you, could it be that there is also a Brute Force King in the inner courtyard?"

"Tsk, there's no point in telling you a lot about the inner courtyard."

The girl in red pointed the long whip in her hand at the other party and said unwillingly, "My name is Hu Jia. Don't look at your current strength, but I will not admit defeat!"

The other party's words, which sounded like a declaration of war, did not cause much fluctuation in Xiao Yan's heart. He just shrugged noncommittally and then said with an inexplicable meaning:
"Haha, it seems Miss Hu Jia knows a lot about the inner courtyard. Could I ask if the students with the 'special admissions' quota will arrive at the inner courtyard before us?"

"Special enrollment?"

It has to be said that although the time they spent at the academy was not long, Xiao Yan's calm image had already been deeply rooted in everyone's eyes. His expression, which was almost filled with anticipation and nervousness, almost made Hu Jia unable to believe her eyes.

After pondering for a moment, Hu Jia did not hide too much and briefly explained the admission process for special admissions students to Xiao Yan.

Although she has a spoiled personality, she is not inflexible. There is no reason not to do a favor if it is convenient for her.

However, when she inadvertently glanced at the elegant girl she had admired for a long time while she was telling the story, she found that she had lost all her former elegance and grace. Instead, she narrowed her eyes slightly and listened attentively to their conversation.

The resentment and hostility that could hardly be concealed even reminded Hu Jia of Bai Shan who was lying on the ground and still hadn't recovered.
Hu Jia was a little puzzled for a moment. Xun'er should know that she doesn't like men, so why is she so jealous?
