Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

Xiao Yan nodded seriously, and then saw Yao Chen pointing at his illusory body and speaking.

"According to normal circumstances, I have actually died a long time ago. It is only because my soul power is much stronger than that of ordinary people that I can temporarily stay in the world in this state."

"If I had died with a clear conscience, I would have no complaints even if I had completely disappeared, let alone this miserable appearance."

"However, I still have incomprehensible doubts hovering in my heart, so I must break away from this soul state and resolve my past regrets with my own hands!"

After listening to Yao Chen's words, Xiao Yan keenly sensed the deep anger and mixed grief in Yao Chen's eyes, and at the same time he understood what Yao Chen meant.

"You mean you want to come back to life?"

Xiao Yan frowned slightly.

Xiao Yan had never heard of such a thing as resurrection from the dead. At least within his knowledge, such a thing was impossible.

But since Yao Chen said so, he must have a reason for saying so. Xiao Yan immediately had a guess in his mind.

"The Burning Technique, can it accomplish this?"

"That's right!" Yao Chen confirmed excitedly: "According to the records of the technique, if you practice the Burning Technique to the highest level, you can create a body that can accommodate the soul, which means that we can completely revive with this body!"

However, after a brief excitement, Yao Chen gradually calmed down and spoke again with a serious face.

"Although this is what is written in the technique, I cannot guarantee that this is true. After all, there is no successful case of this technique. I am actually skeptical about it in my heart, but..."

"This may be the only way to bring you back to life, right?" Xiao Yan added, and then slammed his fist, "Whether for me or you, this possibility is enough!"

"For the sake of my mentor, what's wrong with me, Xiao Yan, taking a gamble? Besides, if some things are not done to the end, no one will know what the outcome will be!!!"

Xiao Yan grinned, with a high-spirited look on his face that Yao Chen had never seen before!

It was not until this moment that Yao Chen suddenly realized something.

No matter how calm Xiao Yan is in his daily life, he is still a passionate young man in his youth after all!

"The more challenging the task, the greater the sense of accomplishment you will gain after success! Whether it's my righteous path or this Burning Technique!"

Xiao Yan said this firmly, with flames burning in his eyes!

Although he is pursuing the right path, Xiao Yan has never imagined a smooth life!

It is better to say that pursuing the right path is not only to achieve one's own ideals, but also to enjoy the arduous and arduous struggle!

As long as it is what one pursues in one's heart, the more difficult it is to accomplish, the more Xiao Yan feels that he is truly alive!

Looking at Xiao Yan's expression, which was totally inconsistent with his usual maturity and stability, Yao Chen also smiled.

Just like the New Year's Day yesterday, Xiao Yan at this moment was his real self.

A big boy who strives forward for his ideals without fear of difficulties!

Yao Chen stared at Xiao Yan quietly, his eyes becoming more and more satisfied, and he had already made a decision in his heart.

Regardless of whether Xiao Yan can successfully refine a body for himself in the end, he will support him with all his strength and will not hold back at all.

Until, forever.

Chapter 50 Enrollment

In the early morning, Xiao Yan, dressed, sat at the table, propped up his cheek and looked at the pale yellow Dou Qi on his palm. After a long silence, he finally sighed deeply.

"What? Regret it?"

Yao Chen's graceful figure appeared, looking at Xiao Yan, who looked a little lost, with a teasing look.

Ever since Xiao Yan learned the Burning Art that day, he would often look at his palms and sigh, with a constant look of worry on his face, all because of the Burning Art.

"I don't regret it. This is the path I chose myself. I have no right and will never regret it." Xiao Yan said lightly, and then sighed softly, "It's just that the battles I will encounter in the future may be much more difficult than I expected."

Just as Yao Chen said before, the Burning Art was just a low-level yellow-grade martial art before it evolved, and it had almost no bonus to itself. Even the worst martial art might be better than the current Burning Art.

This means that when the fighting spirit level is the same, Xiao Yan's martial arts is equivalent to nothing, and he will obviously suffer a great loss when facing an opponent of the same level.

"I think you don't need to worry about this problem at all."

Yao Chen looked at Xiao Yan speechlessly.

Although Xiao Yan is only a three-star fighter now, even low-level fighters may not be able to withstand a few moves in his hands. Even without any martial arts, Xiao Yan's true strength is definitely far superior to opponents of the same level.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, which brought Xiao Yan back to his senses. He stood up and walked to the door to open it. He saw Xiao Yu standing at the door, with one hand on her waist and looking at him with a smile.

"Hey~ Good morning~"

"Good morning, Sister Xiao Yu."

Xiao Yan responded with a smile, and then Xiao Yu glanced at him.

"Let's go~ Canaan College has started recruiting students in Wutan City Square, let's go and sign up~"

"Good~"

Xiao Yan responded softly, closed the door, and left the villa with Xiao Yu. As soon as Xiao Yan stepped out of the villa gate, a figure suddenly threw himself into his arms.

"Cousin Xiao Yan! Good morning!!!"

Needless to say, it was naturally the little girl Xiao Mei. Ever since Xiao Yan said a few days ago that he was going out for training, Xiao Mei, who was already clinging to Xiao Yan, became even more clingy. If Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Yu hadn't forcibly held her back these days, Xiao Mei would probably not have let go even if Xiao Yan went back to his room to sleep.

Xiao Yan was helpless about this, but he did not try to stop it.

We haven't seen each other for a long time since then, so let's stick with this little girl for a while longer.

Although Xiao Yan would definitely go to Canaan College for the Fallen Heart Flame, but not now. Even Yao Chen did not approve of his idea of ​​going directly to Canaan College to get the Fallen Heart Flame.

Firstly, Xiao Yan's current strength is not enough, and for many other reasons, such as the fact that he has not yet found all the medicinal materials, it would be useless to go now, and it would be a waste of time to stay in the academy.

Secondly, Yao Chen knew very well that the Fallen Heart Flame could be said to be the treasure of Canaan College. There were many powerful teachers guarding it at all times. There was no reason to let a student get close to the origin of the Fallen Heart Flame.

Due to the above two reasons, Yao Chen believed that instead of going directly to Canaan College, it would be better for Xiao Yan to go out for training first, and collect the herbs needed to tame the strange fire.

And the most important point is that Yao Chen does not want to stop Xiao Yan from pursuing the righteous path because of his own affairs.

Although Yao Chen highly respected Xiao Yan's righteous path, her years of experience also made her realize that there were still many loopholes in the righteous path that Xiao Yan was currently pursuing.

However, these loopholes could not be truly conveyed to Xiao Yan just by Yao Chen's words. He had to experience them personally in order to understand them.

"Good morning, Brother Xiao Yan~" Xiao Xun'er put her hands behind her back and looked at Xiao Yan with a smile, "Cousin Xiao Ning has already led the others over, let's go sign up~"

"Ah."

Xiao Yan nodded, carrying Xiao Mei on his back, and followed Xiao Yu with Xiao Xun'er towards the Wutan City Square.

As they were almost at the Wutan City Square, Xiao Yan could see the bustling crowd from afar. The place was so densely packed that it was even more crowded than the busiest market.

"Why are there so many people?" Xiao Mei hugged Xiao Yan's neck, resting her head on his shoulder, frowning in confusion, "I remember that the enrollment requirement of Canaan Academy is to have an eighth level of Dou Qi before the age of 18, right? Do so many people meet the requirement?"

Wutan City is not a big city for cultivation, and many people there are not even cultivators. The remaining people are either over the age or have not reached the eighth level of Dou Qi. There should be only a small number of people in the entire Wutan City who are truly qualified.

In response to Xiao Mei's question, Xiao Yu in front of her turned his head slightly and answered.

"Most people just come to watch the fun. Of course, there are also some who want to get away with it. There are such people every year, although they never succeed in the end."

The name of Canaan College is quite famous throughout the entire continent. It can be said to be a well-known institution of higher learning in the Douqi Continent. For most people, it is a place that they would try their best to get into.

However, Xiao Yu was not so eager to enter Canaan College at the beginning. He only entered this famous university on the continent in order to find the reason why Xiao Yan lost his fighting spirit and to find the answer.

For this reason, Xiao Yu practiced desperately in the academy, just to obtain more useful information. Last year, he even made it into the top 50 of the outer courtyard's average seven-star fighters with the strength of only a one-star fighter, breaking the record of entering the inner courtyard with the lowest level in the history of Canaan Academy.

Afterwards, Xiao Yu entered the inner courtyard and stayed there for a whole year, practicing while looking for records related to Xiao Yan's symptoms.

However, after a year, Xiao Yu's strength was improved from a one-star fighter to a three-star fighter, but he still made no progress in improving Xiao Yan's situation. Xiao Yu was so angry that he withdrew from the inner courtyard before going home for the New Year.

[You can't find any clues at all. You still have the nerve to call yourself the best university in the continent! ]

The above words were shouted by Xiao Yu to the elder who was seeing her off when she was leaving the inner courtyard. The elder was stunned when he heard it and did not understand what Xiao Yu was saying at all.

But now, Xiao Yu already knew the reason why Xiao Yan lost his Dou Qi. Xiao Yan's Dou Qi problem had been solved by Yao Chen, which also reduced Xiao Yu's resentment towards Canaan Academy a lot.

Xiao Yu led Xiao Yan and the other two to line up in an orderly manner. Although the leader of the Canaan College admissions team this time was Xiao Yu's former mentor, Xiao Yu had already entered the inner courtyard for a year before, and he was too embarrassed to ask his mentor for help in cutting in line.

Moreover, based on Xiao Yu's understanding of Xiao Yan, he would definitely not accept such a thing as taking the back door. If Xiao Yan did not cut in line, Xiao Mei and Xiao Xun'er would definitely follow him obediently, so it would be unnecessary for Xiao Yu to use his connections.

After a long time, it was finally Xiao Yan and the other two's turn. They naturally passed the admission requirements and then, led by Xiao Yu, walked towards the temporary courtyard set up behind the square.

When the four of them just approached the temporary yard and had not yet stepped into it, they heard an angry voice suddenly coming from the yard.

"You're just a freshman! Don't be so arrogant!!!"

Chapter 51 The proud daughter of heaven

"This voice."

Hearing this familiar roar, Xiao Yu frowned slightly, walked into the courtyard, and saw his younger brother Xiao Ning standing in front of a group of Xiao family members with his arms folded. A man in the Canaan College uniform was confronting Xiao Ning, and he was surrounded by a group of freshmen who had passed the test and were watching the fun.

Seeing the man, Xiao Yu frowned slightly.

The reason was simple: she recognized this man. He was her classmate in the foreign school, named Rob.

Just as Xiao Yu was wondering what was going on, Xiao Ning, who was confronting Rob, spoke.

"We are here to go to school, not to recognize our father." Xiao Ning looked coldly at Rob in front of him, without a trace of cowardice in his words, "I, Xiao Ning, kneel to the heavens, the earth, and my parents. You want me to kneel to you? Who the hell do you think you are?!"

Even though Xiao Ning usually gets along well with Xiao Yan and is very kind to his family, he is even willing to be bullied to death without fighting back when facing Xiao Mei.

But all of this was what Xiao Ning wanted!

Judging from his nature, Xiao Ning's temper is actually not much better than Xiao Mei's, he just suppresses it intentionally in his daily life.

If someone insists on asking for trouble, Xiao Ning will never tolerate it!

What's wrong with me being a freshman? Should I kneel down to you seniors?

"伱!!!"

Rob stared at Xiao Ning intently, with a fierce look on his face, and this look was clearly caught by Xiao Ning, who then curled his lips in disdain.

"What? You want to fight?" Xiao Ning turned slightly and looked at Rob coldly, "Come on, we Xiao family never take the initiative to cause trouble, but since you insist on being a jerk and asking for a fight, I can satisfy you."

"You have no respect for your elders! You deserve to be beaten!!!"

"Your Excellency? Are you worthy enough?!"

Rob bent his body slightly and rushed towards Xiao Ning, while Xiao Ning also raised his arms to fight back.

Suddenly, a black whip shadow with a strong fighting spirit came and slammed into the open space between Rob and Xiao Ning. The powerful force and familiar feeling made Rob and Xiao Ning's hearts tighten at the same time. They looked at the long groove on the floor tiles in horror and looked towards the gate of the courtyard together.

"Xiao Yu?"

"Sister?"

Rob and Xiao Ning spoke at the same time, and after hearing Xiao Ning's name, Rob looked at Xiao Ning in surprise, with cold sweat covering his face.

Oh my God! Are you this girl's brother?

You should have said it earlier! Otherwise, I wouldn’t have dared to argue with you even if I had ten courages!!!

At this moment, Rob's heart felt cold and regret filled his heart.

Although Rob and Xiao Yu had been classmates for a year, because Xiao Yu spent most of her time in the library at the Foreign Affairs College, Rob and Xiao Yu did not have much interaction.

However, although there was no intersection, everyone, including Rob, was deeply afraid of Xiao Yu!

When she first entered the academy, she was already an eight-star fighter genius. After entering the academy, she broke through to the fighter master level in just one year. She is a favored girl known by everyone in the outer courtyard!

The most outrageous thing was that at the beginning of last year, Xiao Yu, with the strength of a one-star fighter, did something shocking that had never happened in the entire history of the academy.

With the strength of a one-star fighter, he signed up for the outer school trials, which had the lowest level of six-star fighters, and he broke through the siege without any suspense and won the first place!

Rob was also watching the external school selection competition on site, and after watching it, he couldn't help but complain in his heart.

This is fucking not a fighting master at all!!!

At that time, Xiao Yu was only a one-star fighter, but she was able to suppress even nine-star fighters! Fighters below five stars couldn't even last three moves in her hands! ! !

Who in the entire outer courtyard dares to mess with this kind of monster? !

Just as Rob was recalling the past, Xiao Yu put away the whip in his hand, walked slowly to stand in front of Xiao Ning, and looked unkindly at Rob, who was already sweating profusely.

"Rob, your habit of bullying freshmen really hasn't changed at all."

When Rob was recruiting students last year, he liked to use his status as a senior to bully the freshmen who had passed the test. However, those freshmen had passed the test with great difficulty, so they were naturally afraid of being kicked out of the college. How could they resist?

Xiao Yu was also in the enrollment queue at that time, but she was completely focused on Xiao Yan's fighting spirit and didn't care about other things at all.

But today he actually dared to bully his own brother. I can't just pretend I didn't see it.
