Chapter 114 Another Strange Lightning Strike, a Freshman Seeks Help! [Please Read On]

[Ding! You touched the Azure Scale and obtained the Earth-Yellow Thunder!]

Ok?

Yi Wood Xuan Tian Thunder, Li Flame Light Thunder, and now Wu Earth Apricot Yellow Thunder. Could these thunderbolts also contain the Five Elements?

However, regardless of the circumstances, being able to master another type of strange lightning and enhance one's strength is still a good thing.

If the three types of strange lightning were completely fused into one, its power would surely increase significantly.

"Yes, young master, I understand," Qinglin's obedient voice rang in Xiao Lei's ears.

Xiao Lei smiled, regained his composure, and continued choosing his room.

Although Qinglin said she understood, after Xiao Lei chose a room, she still helped him clean the room thoroughly and made up the bed for him.

After tidying up Xiao Lei's room, Qing Lin found a room closer to Xiao Lei's and then went to tidy up her own room.

"Hmm, having such a thoughtful maid is quite a nice feeling..."

Xiao Lei sat on the bed, smiled and shook his head, muttered something under his breath, then sat cross-legged on the bed and began his daily cultivation.

When they entered the inner courtyard, it was already quite late, so they cultivated for a short time before night fell completely, and Xiao Lei went straight to bed to rest.

After all, cultivation also requires a balance between work and rest.

The next morning, when Xiao Lei came out of his room, he saw Hu Jia and Song Hao training and sparring in the courtyard outside the pavilion.

Xun'er and Qinglin sat on a stone chair to the side, watching the two's exciting battle.

"Brother Xiao Lei is up?"

Upon seeing Xiao Lei emerge, Xun'er quickly went to greet him, smiling softly.

"Young Master, I'll go get you some water to wash up," Qinglin said hurriedly to Xiao Lei, then turned to fetch water.

Xiao Lei quickly stopped her and smiled, "Qinglin, you don't need to bother, I've already washed up."

"Also, as I said, everyone in the academy is a student. You can just call me by my name, or like Xun'er."

"I..." Qinglin hesitated slightly upon hearing this, twisting her small hands and looking nervously at Xun'er beside her.

Xun'er pulled Qinglin's arm and said softly with a smile, "You can call Xiao Lei 'brother' just like me. If you keep calling him 'young master,' people might start gossiping about him."

"Xiao Lei... Brother..." Qing Lin called out tentatively after hearing Xun'er's words.

"Hehe, it's settled then," Xiao Lei said with a slight smile.

"After they finish their sparring, we'll go for a stroll in the inner courtyard and see just how effective the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower really is."

"Hmm," Xun'er and Qinglin had no objection to Xiao Lei's decision.

The three of them then sat down to watch Hu Jia and Song Hao's sparring match while chatting.

"Bang, bang!"

Suddenly, a series of urgent knocks sounded at the entrance of the courtyard.

Upon hearing that sound, Xiao Lei and the other two all turned their gaze toward the gate.

Hu Jia and Song Hao also stopped their sparring and came to Xiao Lei's side.

"What happened?" Hu Jia frowned and asked.

Xun'er shook her head and said, "We don't know yet, we'll find out when we go and see."

As she spoke, Xun'er stood up, walked quickly to the front gate, and opened the courtyard gate.

The group looked towards the entrance and could vaguely see that a number of people seemed to have gathered outside the courtyard.

After exchanging a few words with the person outside the door, Xun'er quickly returned to Xiao Lei's side, frowning as she said, "There are more than a dozen freshmen outside who say they want to see Brother Xiao Lei."

"Let's go see what's going on," Xiao Lei said with a smile as he stood up and walked towards the door.

In fact, Xiao Lei had a rough idea of ​​the newcomers' motives.

Seeing Xiao Lei walk towards the main gate, Xun'er and the other three quickly followed.

At the entrance of the courtyard, a group of freshmen saw Xiao Lei arrive and quickly surrounded him.

For some reason, their faces were all flushed red.

"Senior Xiao Lei, we're all freshmen, you have to help us! These upperclassmen in the inner courtyard are really going too far."

A young man, his face flushed with excitement, spoke loudly.

Xiao Lei had some impression of him. After he had knocked away three teams of senior students from the inner courtyard, it was this young man who was the first to speak up and ask everyone to go to the forest exit with the five of them. He seemed to be called Xu Kun.

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

Xiao Lei glanced at him and said, "Don't get agitated, let's clarify things first."

"Starting this morning, some groups of senior students have been entering our freshman area, clamoring to collect some kind of 'tribute fee' from the freshmen..."

When Xiao Lei asked, the young man named Xu Kun immediately recounted the whole story without hesitation.

The matter was quite simple: the senior students in the inner courtyard were being asked to pay protection money, or to put it more politely, tribute.

According to the unspoken rules of the inner courtyard, under normal circumstances, there are at most two groups of senior students collecting protection money from freshmen.

But this year, batches of returning students came, and they simply couldn't bear the exploitation anymore.

If this continues, their fire energy will probably be completely depleted by today!

"These guys are going too far," Hu Jia said angrily, her pretty face darkening slightly.

Xun'er said softly, "That is indeed a bit excessive..."

Xiao Lei looked at Xu Kun and slowly asked, "What is the meaning of your coming to see me?"

"Senior Xiao Lei, we came to you not because we wanted you to help us avoid that kind of harassment. We understand that as freshmen, it's inevitable to be bullied by upperclassmen, but in previous years, it's never been like this, with wave after wave of people coming," Xu Kun said with a wry smile.

"I've found out that this year's situation is because our freshmen's performance in the Fire Energy Hunting Competition has made some senior students unhappy, which is why this situation has arisen."

"I'm not saying this to criticize Senior Xiao Lei! You led us to victory in the Fire Energy Hunting Competition and have a very high reputation among the freshmen. So, when we encounter such troublesome matters, we can only ask you to step in."

Xiao Lei smiled and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

"We don't dare to ask for too much. We just need to maintain the same rules as in previous years. Otherwise, with this layer-by-layer exploitation, our fire energy will be quickly depleted."

Xu Kun stared intently at Xiao Lei, paused slightly, and then continued, "As long as Senior Xiao Lei intervenes, we freshmen are willing to hand over the so-called freshman tribute fee to Senior Xiao Lei!"

Xiao Lei pretended to ponder for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Pay me a tribute fee? That's unnecessary. How about this, you all go and gather all the new students together, we'll be there shortly."

"In that case, thank you very much, Senior Xiao Lei. If anything happens in the future, we, the freshmen, will obey your every command!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Kun and the group of freshmen who had come with him were overjoyed. They hurriedly bowed to Xiao Lei and then rushed off to find the other freshmen.

"What are your thoughts?" After watching Xu Kun and the others leave, Xiao Lei turned to Xun'er and the other three, and asked with a smile.
