Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 293: A show of strength when meeting someone? (Two-in-one encounter chapter~)

Two days later.

After ransacking the library and distributing many earth-level fighting skills to the Xiao family, Xiao Yan began to recuperate from his injuries.

You know, although the Yunlan Sect's all-out battle allowed him to release all his strength, not only did he not suffer the collapse of his realm, but he took the opportunity to shatter the Dou Crystal and climbed to a level of strength comparable to that of a Dou King. However, this injury will take several months to recover.

Because of this, during the initial recovery period, not to mention tempering the body, even meditation and cultivation were undoubtedly impossible for Xiao Yan.
If he wanted to circulate the Qi in his body, he had to rely on Ruoruo's water element to help him refine the Dou Qi to its purest form before it could be absorbed into his body.

Of course, having said that, Xiao Yan is not completely unable to practice.

As a negative nine-star Dou Wang, all the acupoints in his body are places to store Dou Qi. He has completely broken free from the constraints of Dantian. Even if he does not circulate it in his body, he can refine Dou Qi into his body with just simple breathing!

This is why there has always been a saying that "all those below the Dou Wang level are ants". After reaching the Dou Wang level, the cultivator's improvement speed is definitely far beyond that of the Dou Ling level.

"call"

In the boundless lush green forest, accompanied by the blowing breeze, the sound of a young man's even breathing could be heard.

The waterfall cascades down, bringing with it a rumbling sound and water mist. After listening for a long time, it is not noisy at all, but rather has a leisurely artistic conception of abandoning the mundane world, hazy like a Taoist fairyland.

I saw a young man in black standing alone, leaning against the side of a huge rock. A trace of imperceptible fighting spirit kept emerging and continuously gathered into his nostrils, making him look like an old monk who had been in meditation for a long time.

He is sleeping.

Compared to other students who were anxiously preparing for the final examination, Xiao Yan had already slept for two full days.

After all, in his opinion, he could practice by just breathing, and getting up and moving around might even aggravate his injuries. So what else could he do if he didn't sleep?
Let’s wait until we meet Ruoruo to talk about everything.

This naturally meant that Xun'er, who had originally wanted to practice cultivation with Xiao Yan, was disappointed. It was not until she was about to go to the inner courtyard that she finally found Xiao Yan's location in this small valley.

"Brother Xiao Yan!"

"."

Hearing the call from the outside world, Xiao Yan, who had been sleeping for a long time, slowly opened his eyes, yawned, and cast his eyes towards the entrance of the valley.

"Well, that girl actually came?"

A moment later, a graceful figure in green came as light as a butterfly, and a silver bell-like laughter rang out. In just a few breaths, she appeared in front of Xiao Yan.

"Brother Xiao Yan, the two days are up. Although I know that Brother Xiao Yan is diligent, hard training also requires a balance between hard work and relaxation."

".ah?"

Hearing Xun'er's words, Xiao Yan's old face flushed. He scratched his head awkwardly and coughed:
"Ahem, Xun'er, you seem to be in such a hurry. Are you heading to the inner courtyard today?"

"The Vice Dean and several elders are ready and will be leaving soon. If Brother Xiao Yan doesn't show up soon, we'll be left behind."

Xun'er nodded, then covered her mouth and chuckled.

"So fast?"

Xiao Yan was startled at first, then he felt a sense of anticipation in his heart. He then smiled at Xun'er and said,

"Thank you very much, Nizi. I was a little careless before and overlooked this most important matter."

"The inner courtyard assessment is not easy, Brother Xiao Yan, are you ready?"

"hey-hey."

Xiao Yan said nothing, but pretended to be mysterious as he patted the tight muscles on his arms. Then he stepped on the ground and ran quickly out of the valley.

Two days of hibernation allowed the body to heal itself and regain some mobility, even simple running was no problem. Although Xiao Yan did not say it explicitly, this move was obviously a shot in the arm for Xun'er.

"Nizi, don't be distracted, hurry up and catch up!"

Looking at the back of the young man walking away, the golden fire in Xun'er's eyes became brighter, and her aura quietly climbed to the level of Dou Ling.

"The inner courtyard has been waiting for her for so long, I hope she won't let me down."

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl disappeared like a ghost.

Not long after, Xiao Yan and Xun'er rushed to Vice President Hu Qian's study and reunited with many students.

Canaan Academy covers a vast area. The open space in front of Hu Qian's study alone is enough to accommodate nearly fifty people who have arrived. Most of them are in pairs of four or five, and there are subtle divisions like small factions.

Among them, Hu Jia and the other two are naturally the leaders.

As a veteran figure who has dominated the outer courtyard for a long time, even though he was defeated by Xiao Yan, he still has many loyal followers. Putting aside the element of strength, perhaps it is because of the background behind him!
Needless to say, Hu Jia was the granddaughter of the vice-president, as Xiao Yan already knew her identity after their last meeting. And the man named Wu Hao was said to be the direct disciple of an elder in the law enforcement team, and he should not be underestimated either.

It was natural for Xiao Yan to expect that these two had so many talented students following them. The only one that concerned him was Bai Shan, who had been resentful of his defeat at his hands.

"This person."

Feeling the hidden murderous intent in Bai Shan's gaze, Xiao Yan raised his brows slightly and secretly became cautious.

Years of fighting experience allowed Xiao Yan to see at a glance that the other party was confident. As expected, he had a backer as a backup. And the last trial before joining the inner courtyard was said to be a clash with the old student.
With Xiao Yan's current strength, ordinary great Dou Masters are naturally no match for him. However, if the opponent is a Dou Ling powerhouse, it would be a bit tricky for him to fight with him without getting injured.

"Hey, Brute King!"

"Miss Hujia."

Perhaps because of the other party's nickname of "Little Demon Girl", Xiao Yan did not have any bad feelings towards this girl who lost so magnanimously, and immediately nodded to her politely.

Hu Jia waved, then left the team and trotted over to the two of them. She actually looked at him with some admiration, and said with a curled lip:
"It's amazing that you even forgot the time. If Xun'er hadn't taken the initiative to find you, you would have been the first outer court champion to miss the opportunity."

"Uh, sorry, sorry, I forgot about the time for a moment."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan touched his nose awkwardly, while Xun'er, who was standing beside him, smiled politely, her knowledge and manners were impeccable.

Seeing this, Hu Jia shook her head and said jokingly, "Tsk, you're lucky. Don't worry, we haven't left yet not because we're waiting for you. There's no need to blame yourself."

"Not waiting for me? Then..."

Xiao Yan was interrupted by Hu Qian's sudden laughter when he was halfway through his words. He couldn't help but look in the other person's direction.

"Dear students, I would like to congratulate you. Your hard work has finally paid off. Today is the day to head to the inner courtyard of Canaan Academy."

Hu Qian looked around at the students who had been waiting for a long time, then his eyes flickered and he said meaningfully:
"I'm sure you all know that Canaan Academy has a student with a 'special admission' quota this time. Therefore, during the previous ranking process, only those of you ranked in the top 49 were allowed to advance. The vacant position will be replaced by this special admission."

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the audience suddenly became noisy, and many people's eyes couldn't help but reveal a hint of hostility. Special admissions, a quota that hadn't appeared in who knows how long, and as freshmen from the external colleges, many of them had never even heard of such a thing before this competition, let alone being interfered with.

A privileged student who has never participated in a single selection competition and has never even practiced in the outer courtyard, no matter how much he brags, will definitely not be able to convince the public in Canaan College!

Seeing this, Hu Qian couldn't help but shook his head helplessly, then turned and smiled at the huge griffin that blocked his view:

"Miss Ruoruo, these students are considered to be of decent aptitude in the outer courtyard, but they are untrained and naturally have high expectations. Please bear with them."

"Grandpa, how could he be so polite to a student?"

Hu Jiaxing's eyes widened as she looked up in disbelief. As the granddaughter of the vice-president, although she grew up under the other's doting care, she also knew from the other elders how decisive her grandfather was in his daily life.

Such a strong man who looks kind in appearance but is actually ruthless and ruthless, can have such an attitude. The other party either has an unimaginable background, or is a rare and peerless genius in the world!
"Senior Dean, what are you talking about? As fellow students, we should support each other."

A clear and pleasant sound like the first song of an oriole was heard, like the gurgling sound of jade flowing down a mountain stream, which moistened the people on the field until even their bones became numb.

The next moment, a young girl in a navy blue dress from the inner courtyard appeared silently on the field. She had bright eyes, white teeth, and delicate features, revealing a beauty that was enough to instantly make Qingping and Yaori pale in comparison.

Sure enough, it was that woman!

Not to mention the boys on the field who had been staring at him, even Xun'er, who had expected this, couldn't help but tremble violently in her heart when she saw the other party, and felt a little dry in the mouth out of nowhere.

After not seeing her for two years, she has become so beautiful?

Is water-attributed fighting spirit so nourishing?

No wonder not only this woman, but even Brother Xiao Yan’s appearance has become more handsome. It turns out that it was all her fault!
Her clear eyes swept across everyone on the field, and when she saw the direction of Xiao Yan and Xun'er, a beautiful and alluring light rippled out, and she waved to them happily.
"Sister Xun'er, long time no see."

"Ah, long time no see."

When the other party mentioned her, Xun'er, knowing the other party's gentle nature, quickly moistened her dry throat and responded with a smile.

No matter how they competed secretly with each other on weekdays, when Xun'er really saw An Ruoruo appear in front of her, she would definitely not be rude.

After all, no matter what, the other party still has a friendship with her and has helped Brother Xiao Yan a lot, so she naturally cannot treat him with hostility.

Well, can't be hostile.
However, just as the words fell, the sharp-eyed Xun'er suddenly noticed the slightly large and rustic ring on the white and tender little hand, and her pupils instantly contracted.

So. What is that?

That turned out to be Brother Xiao Yan's ring. How could it be Brother Xiao Yan's ring?!

This damn woman, really wants to intimidate me? ! ! !

"Ok?"

Seeing Xun'er's little face that seemed to become tense, Hun Ruoruo blinked in confusion, feeling a little puzzled for a moment.

That’s right, like Xiao Yan, she also overslept.

After studying the space lock of Canaan Academy for several days, even with the help of Yao Lao, she was exhausted and unable to cope.

After all, no matter how talented she is, she is only at the mid-level Douhuang level. It is obviously too ambitious for her to want to comprehend the space lock that can only be built by the peak Douzong or even Douzun strongmen.

However, the cultivation of space has great similarities and overlaps with the improvement of soul power. Although there are shortcuts, in the final analysis, it requires years of accumulation.

If you want to pass through the space lock between the inner and outer courtyards silently, you naturally need to constantly analyze it and take it step by step.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long, seniors."

Hun Ruoruo bowed gracefully, then revealed an apologetic and gentle smile, just like the clouds and rain having just stopped and the ice and snow melting, and no one could think of blaming her at all.

"Gudu!"

The originally dead silent field was suddenly filled with the sound of swallowing. All the students' faces flushed red, and their hearts almost jumped out of their chests.

As students of Canaan College, most of them do not need to travel far and wide. Apart from exchanging ideas every day, they gather in groups of two or three to discuss the progress of their training. As time goes by, they find it extremely boring and lose all interest.

You have to know that the progress of cultivation cannot be made overnight. After most people get to know each other, they can guess each other's approximate cultivation level. How much discussion can it cause?
Because of this, these young boys and girls who are still in their youth, apart from the necessary spiritual practice, care most about their longing and pursuit of the opposite sex.

This is why Xiao Yan complained about them being jealous little boys. Xun'er is extremely talented and pretty. Who wouldn't want to praise her?

Compared to Xun'er, the person who appeared before them seemed to satisfy everyone's fantasy—

She is gentle, smart, intelligent, generous and most importantly, she doesn't have Xun'er's seemingly polite but actually cold personality that keeps people at a distance!

She is a girl like water.
"Cough cough!"

Just as everyone was lost in thought, Hu Jia broke the silence. Her pretty face flushed and she stammered:
"Miss Ruoruru, since you are leaving, why not join us? You and Xun'er are acquaintances, and I also happen to know a little about Canaan College, which might be helpful to you."

"really?"

Hun Ruoruo, who had been feeling a little disappointed because no one responded, suddenly showed a look of surprise after hearing Hu Jia's words. She put her hands on her chest, obviously showing her gratitude.

"Well, Miss Ruoruo, I can also do this here."

Seeing Hu Jia taking the initiative, Bai Shan suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly spoke to the blue-haired girl attentively.

However, before he could finish, Hun Ruoruo had already trotted over to Xiao Yan and the others, and immediately showed an apologetic look towards them, saying softly:

"I'm sorry, Senior, this girl invited me first, so I'm afraid I can't join your team."

"No, it's okay! I was the one who overstepped my bounds!"

Bai Shan's eyes widened, his tongue seemed to be tied, and he pretended to laugh heartily.

"No, is this okay?"

Seeing that Bai Shan, who he couldn't defeat no matter how hard he tried, started to nod and bow in front of him after just a few words, Xiao Yan's mouth twitched and he rolled his eyes speechlessly.

This witch must be using her soul-stealing technique again!
A playful smile quietly appeared on the corner of her mouth. Hun Ruoruo turned her head and looked at the young man in front of her with a calm look of resentment, and said in a voice transmission:
"Hey, Senior Brother, Ruoruo, didn't you come at the wrong time? I'm sorry to bother you two."

"?!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan, who was about to complain, suddenly changed his expression and began to sweat.
