Battle Through the Heavens: Inward Cultivation, Crying Xiao Yan

……

Soon, as time went by, three hours passed in the blink of an eye.

During this time, some people even tried to challenge Xiao Yang and his two companions.

But they were all instantly defeated by the three of them.

The three of them also secured a spot in the top five.

The remaining two are a two-star Grand Dou Master and Zeng Ke.

Zeng Ke is very chicken-like, and he is full of challenges.

When the time was almost up, he took advantage of his second chance to go all out.

In the end, he successfully defeated his opponent before time ran out and became the champion.

Hu Qian looked at the five people and announced it directly.

"I announce that the top five are Xiao Yang, Little Fairy Doctor..."

As Hu Gan made his announcement, a system notification sounded in Xiao Yang's mind.

[Mission: Achieve a top-five ranking in the Canaan Academy Outer Court Competition. Reward: Earth-Rank Low-Level Combat Skill "Heaven-Opening Palm". Completed. Claim reward?]

Xiao Yang had previously created missions to defeat other students.

Unfortunately, all attempts failed.

After all, those trainees were too weak.

He tried to create a quest to become an Inner Court student, but failed again.

Ultimately, only this task was successfully established.

However, Xiao Yang was already very satisfied.

Such a simple task, and there's even a local-level combat skill as a reward.

This is already quite good.

"The five of you may go to the library at any time within the next seven days."

"Seven days later, all fifty of you will proceed to the inner courtyard as a group."

Xiao Yang and Little Fairy Doctor exchanged a glance and spoke directly.

"Dean, the three of us are ready to make our selections now."

Upon hearing this, Zeng Ke also spoke directly.

"Dean, I might as well come along too."

Another passerby also said the same thing.

Me too.

Neither of them sustained serious injuries, just a significant amount of energy expenditure.

Upon hearing this, Hu Gan immediately agreed.

"No problem, I'll take you there right now."

After announcing the end of the competition, Hu Gan led the five people to a room.

There are several bookshelves in the room.

These bookshelves are filled with old-fashioned books.

"Before we go to the library, let me say something."

"This opportunity to enter the library is very precious, you must cherish it."

"Some treasures, if you really can't get them, you can't force them."

“You’ll understand what I mean once you go inside.”

After saying that, Hu Gan casually patted the wall a few times.

The next moment, the wall suddenly cracked open, and a pitch-black passage appeared in front of them.

"Come with me."

Hu Gan waved and went inside first.

Xiao Yang knew that there shouldn't be any dangerous places at Canaan Academy.

Even if there is danger, he can handle it with his current strength.

Therefore, he led Little Fairy Doctor and the other person directly into it.

The six of them walked for more than half an hour before they saw some light at the end of the passage.

After exiting the passage, I found myself in an open space.

Xiao Yang and his group looked around and realized they were in a small valley.

In the center of the small valley stands a huge, simple old-fashioned pavilion.

The plaque above the pavilion reads "Zangshuge" (藏书閣).

These three characters contain a simple and unadorned artistic conception.

Hu Qian led the three of them to a spot twenty meters in front of the library and respectfully clasped his hands in greeting.

"Hu Gan has brought the top five students from this year's Outer Academy Competition to the Library Pavilion. Please, elders, open the door!"

Xiao Yang glanced casually at both sides of the doorway.

He saw the two old men in gray robes as soon as he came in.

He could sense that the aura emanating from these two old men was only slightly weaker than that of Medusa.

Just then, the two elders, who had been keeping their eyes closed, opened them.

However, they didn't look at Hu Gan, but instead looked at Xiao Yang.

Chapter 210 Treasure

"Such powerful spiritual energy, even the two of us couldn't see through it at all."

At this moment, the two elders looked at Xiao Yang with a hint of shock in their eyes.

They not only couldn't see through Xiao Yang, but they also sensed a slight threat from him.

Even though it was only a tiny bit, it was still terrifying.

It should be noted that both of them have reached the peak of the Dou Zong realm!

Even so, they could still sense a trace of threat from Xiao Yang. How terrifying was that?

Keep in mind that Xiao Yang appears to be only a teenager!

"Young friend, may I ask your name?"

A man in a gray robe looked at Xiao Yang and spoke in a somewhat hoarse voice.

The other person's voice sounded like it had been through many years.

Hearing the gray-robed man ignore Hu Gan and instead directly ask Xiao Yang a question, Xing Shun waved his hand, dumbfounded, and added...

They could tell from Hu Gan's respectful attitude that the two gray-robed men must be of very high status.

In the Douqi Continent, status is basically equivalent to strength.

They also had some understanding of Hu Gan, the existence of the Douhuang Peak.

This is not a secret at Canaan College.

However, even such beings treated these two with utmost respect.

This suggests that these two gray-robed figures are very likely Dou Zong level beings!

The fact that such a being would be interested in Xiao Yang made others look at Xiao Yang with a hint of surprise.

Only Little Fairy Doctor and Green Scale remained relatively calm.

In their eyes, Xiao Yang was the strongest.

"Xiao Yang greets the two elders."

Xiao Yang smiled faintly, bowed slightly to the two of them, and said.

"Not bad, to have such a powerful soul force at such a young age is very impressive."

The gray-robed man's voice rang in Xiao Yang's ears.

However, strangely enough, the others couldn't hear anything at all.

However, after the gray-robed man finished speaking, he did not continue to communicate with Xiao Yang telepathically.

He looked at Hu Gan and said.

"This year's kids really surprised us, they're great."

Upon hearing this, Hu Qian smiled and said respectfully.

"Please unlock the space lock, elders, and let the five of them go in to choose their treasures."

Space lock?

Upon hearing this, all four of them, except for Xiao Yang, were stunned for a moment.

They had no idea what a space lock was.

Hu Gan seemed to understand the fishy smell and explained.

"Spatial locks are restrictions that only Dou Zun level experts can set up."

"This was arranged by a powerful figure from my Canaan Academy hundreds of years ago."

"Unless the two elders use a special method to unlock the space lock, even a Dou Zong cannot force their way into the library."

When talking to Xing Si, Hu Gan's tone carried a hint of pride.

As he finished speaking, the space in front of him seemed to have some wrinkles.

These folds are very subtle and difficult to notice.

You can't see it at all unless you look very closely.

Upon closer inspection, it became apparent that these folds resembled a transparent film, protecting the entire library within.

The next moment, two gray-robed men began to form hand seals.

As they began to form hand seals, two invisible waves emanated from their bodies.

After these two invisible waves combined with the spatial lock in front of them, ripples suddenly appeared on the previously undetectable barrier.

It's like throwing a stone into a calm lake.

These ripples spread outwards.

Immediately afterwards, an invisible door suddenly appeared in front of them.

As the ripples multiplied, the invisible door slowly opened.

As the door opened, Hu Gan led several people inside.

"Come in with me."

After Xiao Yang entered the area locked by the spatial lock, the scene in front of him immediately became clearer.

The ancient and rustic atmosphere of the library wafted over me.

"Thank you both."

Hu Qian bowed to the two of them and said.

One of the men in gray robes waved his hand and said casually.

"It's just my duty."

Then, he looked at Xiao Yang and his group of five.

"Remember, once you enter, you cannot force the acquisition of any treasures you encounter."
