Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 296 The Devil and the Fairy (Two-part chapter)
Seeing Xiao Yan's movements as smooth as chopping melons and vegetables, the disciples took a long time to come back to their senses. They couldn't help but gasp and could hardly believe their eyes.

A powerful fighting spirit!
Xiao Yan, who had never used Dou Qi since arriving at Canaan Academy, unexpectedly displayed Dou Ling-level cultivation when facing the old student!
For a moment, many freshmen felt cold hands and feet, and felt unprecedented shock and frustration.

Not only does this humanoid beast have an exaggerated physique, but its cultivation level is also far beyond the level of its peers, practically crushing the little self-confidence that everyone has left.

You know, according to Xun'er's repeated nagging in the foreign academy for two years, almost everyone knows that Xiao Yan is only half a year older than Xun'er at this moment.

A powerful Douling spirit who is not even eighteen years old yet.
Not to mention the outer courtyard, even in the inner courtyard where geniuses gather, it is probably a unique existence, right?

"This little fellow is truly extraordinary. Even I can't fathom the fluctuations in his body."

The gray-robed elder named Elder Qing had a flash of surprise in his eyes, then he smiled and said in a hoarse voice:

"However, his fighting spirit seems quite weak. He must have suffered some subtle internal injuries. If he wants to defeat the Black and White Demons guarding the gate, I'm afraid he will have a tough battle."

"Well, but no matter what, Xiao Yan's talent is indeed quite good. It is reasonable for him to be praised so highly by old man Hu Qian."

Another elder nodded, and his words showed that he was quite satisfied with Xiao Yan's performance.

"With his talent, I'm afraid that with just a little practice in the inner courtyard, he can easily make it onto the 'Strong List'."

As for Xiao Yan's arrogant behavior, although the two of them were a little amused, they had no intention of stopping him.

As a disciple of the inner court, as long as it is not a fight of life and death, you must show enough aggressiveness. Since you have the powerful strength to defeat ten people alone, what's wrong with being a little frivolous and arrogant?
As long as the arrogance matches the strength, even the elders will not say anything about it. This is the special tradition of Canaan College since its founding!
The Fire Hunting Competition is the best embodiment of this tradition.
"boom!!!"

With a loud bang, the huge dark ancient tree fell down, and a deep human figure was smashed on the stump.

"The devil is coming, retreat quickly——"

The shrill howl echoed through the woods, shocking several old students who were desperately fleeing several miles away so much that their faces turned pale and the corners of their mouths began to tremble.

"It's over, it's over! Even the high-level Grand Fighter Su Xiao is no match for him. Aside from the Black and White Devils, I'm afraid no team can stop this demon, right?"

A young man in green robes who was originally responsible for keeping watch in the woods turned around and looked at the movements on the other side of the forest and said in fear.

"Don't even mention it. That devil has already gone mad. He's almost wiped out the entire group of senior students we sent here!"

Thinking back to the glimpse he had at that time, the other handsome young man could not help but feel grief-stricken and wanted to tear Xiao Yan into pieces.
"Not only that, the last time I saw him from afar, that devil even forced a fairy-like girl to stay by his side and help him seize the fire energy to clean up the mess. How shameless!"

"W-what?! Is this really happening?"

"I saw it with my own eyes, there is absolutely no falsehood!"

Seeing the other party's shocked and angry expression, the handsome young man's face changed for a while, and finally he gritted his teeth and said fiercely:
"In my opinion, instead of being hunted down by him, we should unite and go to the Black and White Devils. We would rather die than send more fire energy to that devil!"

"But, in this Fire Hunting Competition, shouldn't we, the seniors, be hunting down the newbies? Isn't that unconventional?"

The green-robed young man wiped the cold sweat from his face and said embarrassedly.

As a student selected from an external college, he naturally knew that there were almost always freshmen who could defeat senior students. It was not a shameful thing to be defeated, and it would not be too unpleasant even if it were spread out.

But these senior students have to unite to deal with a freshman who just joined the inner courtyard. They are simply losing face!

"Then tell me, besides this method, are there any other ways to deal with that devil?"

The handsome young man's face also looked a little unhappy. Seeing that the other party did not reply for a long time, he suddenly said in a deep voice:

"That devil could have gone to face the Black and White Devils earlier, but he chose to keep moving through the forest. I don't think he would leave until he has robbed us all."

"Think about your Fire Crystal Card. If it's stolen, you won't be able to enter the Skyburn Refining Qi Tower again for at least a month!"

The term 'Heavenly Fen Qi Refining Tower' seemed to have some kind of magic power, causing the green-robed young man to instantly fall into a dilemma. It was obvious that not being able to go to the Heavenly Fen Qi Refining Tower to practice was definitely a heavy blow to him.

After all, he was full of hot-bloodedness. After thinking for a moment, the green-robed young man took a deep breath and said angrily, "Done!"

"Okay, defeat the devil and rescue the blue-haired fairy!"

In the dark forest, accompanied by the loud noise of the ancient tree falling, countless birds and beasts were frightened and flew away, and the entire nearby area became silent.

After the smoke and dust cleared, the vast open area was left with only the blue-haired girl and a disheveled figure embedded in a tree trunk.

"Senior, here are your Fire Crystal Card and healing medicine, remember to keep them safe."

"Ah, um, thanks a lot, miss."

After receiving the pills and the fire crystal card, the disciple named Su Xiao's face, which was originally extremely frustrated, suddenly turned red. He actually forced himself to stand up and forced a carefree smile.

Nodding slightly, Hun Ruoruo smiled slightly and said, "Since Senior is fine, Ruoruo will take her leave first."

"Girl, wait!"

Seeing the girl turning around to leave, Su Xiao immediately stretched out his hand in a struggle, trying to persuade her to stay, and said with difficulty:
"Miss, you have been coerced by that devil and repeatedly manipulated by him, yet you have not gained even the slightest benefit. Although I am not strong enough, I do not want to see this happen. I wonder if you are willing to join us in fighting against that devil?"

"confrontation?"

Hun Ruoruo opened her mouth slightly, and glanced in the direction where the black-haired boy disappeared with some surprise, and then whispered:
"Ruoruo is a little confused. What is the purpose of the so-called confrontation, senior?"

"To be honest, we have been secretly preparing to gather our strength and decided to fight the devil to the death at the pass where the Black and White Devils are. So they sent me here to gather intelligence."

"Senior, what you mean is that you should all guard that pass together and wait for the opportunity to attack?"

Hun Ruoruo frowned slightly and shook her head, "But, he is at the Douling level. Even if you all gather together, it would be difficult for you to be his opponent."

"Don't worry, junior sister. We have already made preparations. The Baisha team also has a Douling-level warrior, and they will definitely not fall behind that devil." Soon, Su Xiao presented the specific information. The girl in front of him was amazed and nodded continuously. The confidence in her heart to win gradually became more and more firm.

After finishing his story, he took a breath and said solemnly, "This matter is of great importance. I hope you can keep it a secret!"

Hearing the other party's serious words, Hun Ruoruo was startled at first, then quietly clenched her fists and said seriously:

"Don't worry, Senior. Ruoruo never lies and will definitely not tell anyone about this. This is extra healing medicine. Please keep it well and don't leave any wounds."

After that, she took out a bottle of healing medicine and handed it to Su Xiao in front of her. She quickly bowed and hurried towards the direction where the black-haired boy had disappeared.

“What a kind girl.”

Looking at the beautiful figure that left in a hurry, Su Xiao's eyes flashed with an irrepressible admiration. Then he endured the injury and ran quickly in the opposite direction.

The dark and deep boundless forest seemed to carry a vague mystery and weirdness, and its darkness obscured the clear blue sky above the horizon, making the girl's figure extremely conspicuous, like a little white rabbit about to step into a trap without knowing it.

After Hun Ruoruo's figure passed through the dense forest, her eyes lit up. She pushed aside the leaves in front of her and jumped to the side of the young man, smiling and saying:
"Brother Demon, Ruoruo has received intelligence. They say they are coming to attack you. It looks like they will bring in a huge amount of fire energy!"

"."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan, who had heard the previous conversation between the two clearly with his soul power, suddenly felt his temples throbbing and couldn't help rolling his eyes.

This evil woman is indeed someone who only wants the world to be in chaos!
Although it was rare to obtain the Dou Qi that he had not seen for a long time, Xiao Yan's injuries had not yet healed. The operation of his cultivation was all supported by Hun Ruoruo's pure water Dou Qi, and he could not hold on for too long.

Because of this, expecting him to pick up the fire crystal cards one by one and chat with the students while waiting for the fire energy to be transferred is simply a pipe dream.

After all, he couldn't even maintain the circulation of his fighting spirit, so how could he have such leisure and elegance?
As time went by, he was labeled a demon by the old actors, and Ruoruo, who was watching the show and picking up treasures, was become a fairy who was coerced by him.

This is really
"Ruoruo, you just promised me not to leak the secret and repeatedly assured me that you wouldn't lie. How come you're breaking your promise so suddenly?"

Xiao Yan, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground to stabilize his shattered body, sighed and said helplessly.

"Hehe, I'm not lying. Senior brother is senior brother, not an outsider."

Hun Ruoruo said confidently, "Since we are from the same school, we should naturally support each other and be as close as brothers, isn't it?"

".You are cruel."

Hearing the other party's sophistry, Xiao Yan's originally drooping mouth corners couldn't help but rise up a little, looking extremely weird.

This enchantress is truly eloquent and eloquent. Previously, with the Yunlan Sect threatening her, even jokes were rarely heard. Now that she's relaxed, she's acting much like she did in Wutan City.
Recalling the unbearable past in Wutan City, Xiao Yan forcibly resisted the other party's sweet talk, snorted in anger, and said:
"I put in all the effort, but you, a witch, took all the benefits and reputation. It's so unfair. Those people must have been bewitched and judged right and wrong based on a face alone."

"If you have an advantage, why not take advantage of it?"

Hun Ruoruo moved her face closer. Even at such a close distance, her face was still smooth and delicate without any flaws, which made Xiao Yan's eyes become a little dazed.

"you--"

"What's more, if it weren't for Ruoruo's help in finding out the information, I'm afraid that Senior Brother would have been ambushed by that group of people, don't you think?"

"."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan, knowing that he could not refute it, lost all his spirit and lowered his head in despair.

"Brother, don't be discouraged. What's wrong with being a demon? I really like you like this."

Hun Ruoruo chuckled, stopped teasing, took out the Fire Crystal Card, and handed it to Xiao Yan.

"Here, this is all the results of half a day. Apart from the Black and White Demons team, the other old students don't have much fire energy. This is all we have collected."

Seeing the light blue crystal card handed over by the other party, Xiao Yan subconsciously took it. After seeing the bright red number on it, his expression became a little stunned.

"Five hundred and seventy-five fire energies, isn't that enough to cultivate in the Qi Refining Tower that day?"

After previous understanding, Xiao Yan already knew that the unit of measurement for this fire energy was "day", and one day of fire energy referred to the time of practicing for one day in the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower.

Nearly six hundred days of fire energy, logically speaking, is enough for more than a year and a half of cultivation in the Qi Refining Tower that day. How could the other party describe it as "not much"?

Hun Ruoruo crossed her arms and explained, "The tower's cultivation time is indeed calculated based on fire energy, but the higher you want to cultivate, the more fire energy you need will increase exponentially. Five hundred days of fire energy may seem like a lot, but at the higher levels, it may not even be enough to sustain a few days of cultivation."

"Also, aside from the so-called tower repair time, fire energy is also an important trading currency in Canaan Academy. I'm sure you've heard of this before, brother? Pills, mercenaries, and even the purchase of high-level fighting skills can all be traded with fire energy."

After hearing the explanation, Xiao Yan looked back and forth at the pale blue crystal card in his palm, and couldn't help but sigh in amazement:

"No wonder those seniors fought so hard to prevent their Fire Crystal Cards from being taken away. The power of this fire energy is even more precious than gold coins from the outside world."

Xiao Yan knew that if he wanted the Xiao family to gain a firm foothold in the imperial capital, foundation was the most crucial point.

He can still refine the pills by himself, but the martial arts and fighting skills are obviously the real shortcomings of the Xiao family nowadays.

Even though Xiao Yan had plundered a lot of resources from the Yunlan Sect, the martial arts and fighting skills required adaptation. Most of the people in the Xiao family had fire-attribute fighting spirit, so naturally they could not switch to practicing the Yunlan Sect's wind-attribute martial arts.

Therefore, apart from the volume of advanced Xuan-level skills given by Old Hai, most of the skills practiced by the people of the Xiao family at this moment are only at the elementary Xuan-level or even Huang-level, and their cultivation speed is naturally far behind others.

But in Canaan College, this pain point seems to have a solution.

When Xiao Yan was in the library before, he had already tasted a lot of sweetness. In addition to obtaining a high-level sound wave fighting skill, the rest of the Xiao family also received earth-level fighting skills as rewards. In addition, now that he knew the role of fire energy,
"It's really hard to support a family."

Xiao Yan sighed, then looked at the innocent and pure girl in front of him who blinked from time to time, and laughed with a rather evil look:
"In that case, I'll have to ask the other seniors to donate generously."

Hearing this, Hun Ruoruo's eyes narrowed into crescents, and he laughed in agreement:
"Brother, your opinion~"

Recently, because I have entered the academy chapter, the writing style has become a little light and cheerful. I don’t know if it suits everyone’s taste. I will read any opinions you have to share in time. Thank you all readers!
