Chapter 113 The Reward for Victory: Entry into the Inner Court! [Please Read On]

Soon, three somewhat aged figures appeared in this rocky area.

Two of them were people Xiao Lei and the other new students had all met before; they were Elder Fang and Elder Huang, who had handed over the work to Hu Qian.

The last person was dressed in a black robe, with white hair and beard, bright and piercing eyes, and an extraordinary aura.

"Greetings, three elders!"

On the hillside, a group of senior students were the first to react and bowed to the three elders.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Lei and the others paused slightly and bowed slightly to the three of them.

"Your name is Xiao Lei, right? You're quite good! Canaan Academy hasn't had a student as outstanding as you for many years."

The old man in black robes lingered on Xiao Lei for a moment, then his soft voice echoed through the rocky area.

"This is the Grand Elder of the Inner Court. You can just call him Elder Su," Elder Fang said with a smile to Xiao Lei and the others.

It turns out he was the First Elder, Su Qianyao.

Xiao Lei's heart stirred slightly upon hearing this, and he clasped his hands in thanks, saying, "Thank you for the compliment, Elder Su."

Su Qian glanced around, remained silent for a moment, and slowly announced, "The freshmen have emerged victorious in this year's Fire Energy Hunting Competition."

"oh!"

Upon hearing Su Qian's words, the freshmen behind Xiao Lei couldn't contain their joy and cheered loudly.

In their excitement, some freshmen even forgot about gender and picked up their companions.

After several days of hard work, they finally got their reward and won the final victory!

How could they not be overjoyed?

The senior students looked rather grim as they watched the freshmen cheer.

However, at this moment, they had no other options.

It's all because Xiao Lei is just too monstrous!

"Thank you very much, Elder Su," Xiao Lei said calmly, cupping his fists to Su Qian.

Su Qian glanced around, finally settling his gaze on Xiao Lei and his group, and said:

"As the winners of this year's Fire Energy Hunting Competition, each of the freshmen present will receive twenty days of Fire Energy."

"Xiao Lei, Xiao Xun'er, Qing Lin, Hu Jia, and Song Hao will receive an additional Azure Fire Crystal Card and thirty days of fire energy."

"Azure Flame Crystal Card?"

Upon hearing Elder Su's words, the senior students on the hillside erupted in commotion, their envious gazes sweeping over Xiao Lei and his group of five.

"What is the Azure Fire Crystal Card?" The freshmen were all a bit confused about the Azure Fire Crystal Card, so Hu Jia asked Su Qian directly.

"Hehe, in the inner courtyard, the Fire Crystal Cards are divided into five colors from low to high: black, blue, cyan, red, and purple..." Su Qian chuckled, and then introduced the details of the Fire Crystal Card levels to Xiao Lei and the other freshmen.

When they learned that it would take 300 days of fire energy to upgrade from a black fire crystal card to a blue fire crystal card, all the new students were shocked.

Xun'er and the others also understood why the gazes around them were filled with envy.

They robbed the senior students of everything in the forest, and even with the reward of thirty days of fire energy, they only had a little over a hundred.

This shows how precious the fire energy of those three hundred days was.

After Su Qian finished his introduction, he flicked his hand, and five cyan crystal cards appeared in his hand. With a flick of his finger, the crystal cards shot towards Xiao Lei and the other four, and finally hovered in front of them.

"The reward is already inside. Transfer the fire energy from the Black Crystal Card to it, and then return the Black Crystal Card to me."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lei and his four companions immediately complied without hesitation.

After Su Qian retrieved the five black crystal cards, he smiled and said, "Alright, now that you have all passed the Fire Energy Hunting Competition, come with me into the inner courtyard."

After saying that, he turned around and slowly walked up a stone staircase up the hillside.

"Hehe, congratulations. Now, you will follow Elder Su into the inner courtyard."

Elder Fang and Elder Huang exchanged a glance, then smiled and addressed the new students.

Their shift this year has now come to an end.

Xiao Lei clasped his hands in a salute to the two elders and then stepped onto the stone steps.

Xun'er, Qinglin, Hujia, and Song Hao followed closely behind.

Behind them, a group of freshmen, also filled with excitement, climbed the steps.

The gravel steps weren't very high; in just a minute or two, Xiao Lei and the others reached the last level and stood on the hillside.

A quick glance forward revealed the scene in the inner courtyard.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

"So this is the inner courtyard..."

The freshmen were deeply moved by the magnificent view of the inner courtyard and couldn't help but murmur aloud.

Beyond the hillside lay an extremely large sunken basin.

The shape of that basin looks like it was created by a giant meteorite falling from the sky!

Within the basin, towering buildings stand in rows. From a high vantage point, one can see shadowy figures, like fleas, constantly flitting and leaping above the buildings.

The basin was unusually large; even at the far end of the field of vision, all that could be seen were towering buildings and lush greenery.

It's hard to imagine that such a strange place is hidden in the endless mountains behind Canaan Academy!

"Hehe, little ones, welcome to the core location of Canaan Academy: the Inner Court!"

Smiling at the shocked expressions on the faces of the new students, Su Qian clapped his hands and said with a smile.

"Next, all new students, come back to the inner courtyard with me. We'll settle you in first, and then you'll truly be members of the inner courtyard!"

"Believe me, as long as you can persevere here, when you get out, you will feel that all your progress was worthwhile."

All the new students nodded slightly; they had already learned something from the older students.

If it weren't for Xiao Lei's unexpected rise to prominence, these freshmen would have had no chance of winning this Fire Energy Hunting Competition!

"Go! Everyone, follow!"

With a wave of his hand, Su Qian transformed into a blurry shadow and sped towards the huge basin.

After that, Xiao Lei and the other freshmen immediately moved swiftly, swooping down the hillside like locusts in flight.

During this time, excited shouts echoed in the sky, lingering for a long time.

Next, Su Qian led everyone into the inner courtyard. He first took Xiao Lei and the other five to a separate pavilion, settled them in there, and briefly explained some matters concerning the inner courtyard. Then, he left them there and went to make arrangements for the others.

After watching Su Qian leave, Xiao Lei shrugged and said, "Everyone, go and tidy up your rooms. We'll probably be staying here in the inner courtyard for quite a while from now on."

"Mmm," Xun'er, Hu Jia, and Song Hao all nodded with smiles, then dispersed to find their own rooms.

"Young Master, please choose a room as well, I'll help you tidy up," Qinglin said softly as she followed Xiao Lei.

Xiao Lei reached out and ruffled Qing Lin's hair, smiling as he said, "In the academy, everyone is an equal student. You don't need to serve me all the time; focus on improving your strength."

At that moment, the system's familiar voice rang out in Xiao Lei's mind once again...
