Fights Break Sphere: Get Extraction System at the Beginning.

Under such circumstances, Xiao Ling and his group also reaped a lot of rewards, accumulating a large amount of fire energy for their early training in the inner courtyard.

If the number of old students in the Fire Energy Hunting Competition was not limited, Xiao Ling would have wanted to loot more before leaving. Alas, there is not enough for me, Xiao, to grab.

After leaving the forest, they came to an open area covered with rocks. The spread of the forest stopped when it encountered the rocks. Therefore, the sunlight pouring down from the sky fell on the ground without any hindrance, making people feel warm all over.

Not far beyond the rocky area was a raised hillside. On the hillside, there was a platform made of huge stones. On this platform, two old men were sitting. They were Elder Su and Elder Qing whom Xiao Ling and others saw when they entered the forest. Around them sat several middle-aged men with calm auras. Obviously, they should all be the managers of the inner courtyard.

Seeing the figures of several people, Elder Su smiled and said: "Arranging the Black Evil Team and the White Evil Team to deal with you didn't have any effect. It seems that you are really excellent."

Elder Qing stroked his beard and smiled kindly, "It's just that this competition is to train you freshmen to be united and let you understand that companions are indispensable. You have performed very well."

"Since you have left the competition venue, the winner has already appeared, and it is time to end this fire energy hunting competition." After Elder Su said this, he flew towards the top of the forest.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Elder Su uttered a powerful voice, as if it was ringing in his ears, "This year's Fire Energy Hunting Competition, the freshmen have won. Students hiding in the forest, come out quickly."

Elder Su's slightly old voice slowly echoed, and soon the trees in the forest opposite him shook, and some figures walked out of them one after another.

Most of these freshmen had scars on their bodies, and some even walked with a limp, looking extremely miserable.

Glancing over, Xiao Ling spotted Han Xian, whose face was bruised and swollen, and who had obviously been severely beaten.

Compared with ordinary fighters and most alchemists, his combat ability is slightly weaker. Alchemists with strong combat ability like Xiao Ling are indeed rare.

After everyone came out of the forest, Elder Su spoke again: "As the winners of this "Fire Energy Hunting Competition", the freshmen present can each obtain five days of "Fire Energy", and Xiao Ling, Xiao Xun'er, Lin Xiuya, Liu Qing, Han Yue, and Lin Yan will receive an additional "Blue Fire Crystal Card" plus sixty days of "Fire Energy."

"Green Fire Crystal Card?"

Hearing the words coming out of Elder Su's mouth, there was an uproar on the hillside, and envious glances swept towards Xiao Ling and the other six people in the field.

"Blue Fire Crystal Card? What is this thing?" Lin Xiuya and his companions were a little confused about this so-called Blue Fire Crystal Card. They looked at each other, all of them were a little puzzled.

"Haha, in the inner courtyard, the fire crystal cards are divided into five colors from low to high: black, blue, green, red, and purple. The black crystal card in your hands is the lowest level crystal card. This kind of crystal card , is only qualified to practice on the first and second floors of the "Tianfen Qi Refining Tower", while the blue crystal card is on the third and fourth floors, so it is routinely pushed down."

“If you want to upgrade the crystal card, you need to pay “fire energy” in exchange for it in the inner courtyard. Generally speaking, it takes one hundred days of “fire energy” to switch from a black crystal card to a blue crystal card, and it takes two hundred days of “fire energy” to switch from a blue crystal card to a cyan crystal card... Now that you have been rewarded with the “Blue Fire Crystal Card”, it is equivalent to saving three hundred days of “fire energy”, which is not a small amount. Among the old students in the inner courtyard present, except Lu Jin who upgraded his blue crystal card to a Blue Fire Crystal Card just a week ago, most of the others are still using blue crystal cards.” Seeing the confusion of Lin Xiuya and others, Elder Su explained with a smile.

"Three hundred days of "fire energy"?" After hearing this number, Lin Xiuya and others finally understood why the eyes around them were filled with envy. They robbed all the old students in the forest, and with the reward this time, each person only had a little over three hundred crystals on their crystal card. From this, it can be seen that it should be somewhat difficult to obtain "fire energy" in the inner courtyard.

After Elder Su finished his explanation, he waved his hand and six green crystal cards appeared in his hand. He flicked his finger and the crystal cards shot towards Xiao Ling and the others, and finally hovered in front of them.

"The reward is already inside. You can take out the "Fire Energy" in the black crystal card, and then return the black crystal card to me."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ling and others hurriedly did as they were told. After a moment, they handed the empty black crystal card to Elder Su.

Taking the black fire crystal card, Elder Su nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Okay, since you have all passed the "Fire Energy Hunting Competition", then follow me into the inner courtyard." After speaking, he turned around and walked slowly up the hillside towards a gravel staircase.

Waving to Xiao Xun'er and the others, Xiao Ling took the lead, and under the gaze of everyone on the hillside, followed Elder Su and climbed up the stairs.

The gravel steps were not very high. It took Xiao Ling and the others only a minute or two to reach the last step. Then they jumped and stood on the hillside. They glanced forward and the scene that appeared in their field of vision made them slowly take a breath of the slightly cool air.

Behind the hillside is an extremely large sunken basin. Looking at the shape of this basin, it looks like a huge meteorite fell from the sky and smashed it...

In the basin, there are many tall buildings. Looking from a high position, you can see black shadows like fleas constantly flickering and jumping on the buildings. As your eyes spread forward, you find that the area of ​​​​this basin is so large. It's a bit surprising. When the line of sight reaches the end, only tall buildings and lush green can be seen.

It is hard to imagine that in the endless mountains behind Canaan College, there is actually such a strange place hidden!

"Haha, little guys, welcome to the core of Canaan College: the inner courtyard!" Looking at the shock on the faces of the new students with a smile, Elder Su clapped his hands and said with a smile.

It was also the first time that Xiao Ling saw the inner courtyard's landscape. He couldn't help but sigh at the peculiar environment here, muttering to himself:

"Mang Tianchi really knows how to choose a place. He found a Fallen Heart Flame in the magma and set up a formation, and built a Heavenly Burning Qi Training Tower on it. If he knew that the Ancient Emperor Cave Mansion and the Nine-Star Fighting Saint Peak Dragon Emperor Zhu Kun were staying down there, would he still dare to build an academy here?"

Xiao Ling shook his head and stopped thinking about these things that were not in line with his own strength. The second richest woman in the Douqi Continent was still waiting for him to abduct her.

"Okay, now that the hunting competition is over, all the freshmen should follow me back to the inner courtyard. I will settle you down first, and then you will truly become a member of the 'inner courtyard'. Believe me, as long as you can persist here, when you get out, you will feel that your progress is worth it." Elder Su said slowly, his eyes fixed on Xiao Ling and the others.

All the new students nodded slightly. From the old students, they could already discover the huge benefits of practicing in this inner courtyard!

"Let's go! Everyone follow!" With a wave of his hand, Elder Su's figure turned into a blurry shadow and rushed towards the huge basin. Afterwards, all the freshmen immediately moved, and then swooped down from the hillside like a swarm of locusts. All of a sudden, excited howls circled in the sky for a long time.

Chapter 34 Settlement

"Crench."

A wooden door was slowly pushed open, and a ray of sunlight spread along the crack of the door, finally forming a slender line of light on the ground.

As the wooden door was fully opened, the light expanded rapidly, and several figures of varying lengths stretched by the sunlight walked in. The old man in the lead glanced at the wide small pavilion and said with a smile: "Xiao Ling, from now on, the four of you will live here. Since there are not enough rooms, Han Yue and Xiao Xun'er should be taken to the next door. From now on, the two of them will live in the next yard."

"From now on, you guys will belong to the inner courtyard. Let me remind you that in this inner courtyard, unless you are extremely powerful, it will be difficult for you to survive alone... Because of the environment, the old students in the inner courtyard have also divided their power territories. I'm sure you will encounter these things soon." Elder Su murmured.

"We had already discussed it before entering the inner courtyard that we would establish a force." Lin Xiuya on the side said at the right time.

"Then the relationship between you guys is indeed good, as can be seen from your performance in the Fire Energy Hunting Competition. Letting you live together is actually to let you form a team. In the hunting competition, you must have understood how strong the combat effectiveness of a team can be, right?" Elder Su smiled and said, "And from today on, I hope that you guys will be a team that faces all difficulties together and never leaves each other. If you can do this, then life in this inner courtyard will be much easier. No matter what, the power of one person cannot compare to that of a team, right?"

Xiao Ling smiled and said, "Don't worry, Elder Su. We all understand this. Meeting a few compatible friends does add some color to our ordinary life."

"Haha, it would be great if you can do this." Seeing the four people working together as a team, Elder Su nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand, saying, "Okay, it's getting late. You should clean up the house and rest for the night. Starting tomorrow, you can look around the inner courtyard at will. I'm sure you won't be disappointed here."

"Aren't there any training courses in the inner courtyard?" Hearing this, Lin Xiuya asked hurriedly.

"The inner courtyard doesn't need that kind of thing. As long as you have enough "fire energy", you can enter the "Heaven Burning Qi Refining Tower". Practicing there is more useful than any course. Oh, by the way, I almost forgot that the academy will organize students to enter the "Heaven Burning Qi Refining Tower" once a week. If you want to talk about courses, then this should count..."

Elder Su chuckled and said, "In addition, there are also places like the Fighting Skills Hall and the Kung Fu Pavilion in the inner courtyard. If you want to obtain martial arts or fighting skills, you can go there to have a look. Of course, this is also based on the premise of having enough "fire energy" in exchange. Compared with the outer courtyard, the inner courtyard is actually more free.

"If you feel that you don't have enough 'fire energy' and you're itching to do it, you can go to the arena to earn some. Of course, the prerequisite is that you must have enough strength. Otherwise, you will lose everything."

Lin Yan, who was originally listless, brightened up instantly after hearing this: "I am not sleepy anymore when you say this. It will be interesting to spar with those old students. Anyway, as long as Xiao Ling can't kill me, he can heal me."

Xiao Ling on the side curled his lips, but did not refute. He said calmly: "Just don't break your legs or feet, otherwise it will take a few days to repair." The 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor's trunk bone skill "Wildfire cannot burn it all, spring breeze blows it back to life" is indeed amazing. As long as the cultivation level is not much higher than his own, the effect is very significant. Although it cannot bring back the dead, at least it is no problem to regenerate broken limbs.

"If there is no problem, you can take a rest. If you have any problems, you can come to me." After waving to the four people, Elder Su turned and walked towards the door, finally disappearing from the sight of Xiao Ling and others.

Watching Elder Su leave, Xiao Ling clapped his hands and smiled at Lin Xiuya and the other two, "Let's clean up the room. Before we build our power, this may have to be our long-term base. Clean it up a bit, so that we can at least live and practice more comfortably."

"Yeah." Lin Xiuya and the other two nodded with a smile, then dispersed and looked for their own rooms.

……

The moon is like a silver plate, and the sky is filled with stars.

The faint moonlight sprinkled down from the sky, covering the entire huge basin in moonlight.

Accompanied by the evening breeze and wearing the gauze woven by the moonlight, Xiao Ling and Xiao Xun'er strolled along the tree-lined path in the inner courtyard, chatting about some unimportant things.

Xiao Ling looked at the various facilities in the inner courtyard, the people coming and going, and the Tianfen Qi Training Tower in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "The inner courtyard of Canaan College that the Xiao family in Wutan City had been dreaming about day and night, has finally come into the house."

I thought about the situation of the Xiao family again. Now that I have the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, I will be able to gain an opportunity next time I return to the Xiao family. I don't know how Xiao Yan is doing now. Now that Xiao Ling and Xiao Xun'er have left, he is the first genius of the Xiao family. Xiao Ling has sent some Xuan-level skills to the Xiao family. The strength of the Xiao family should be much stronger than before.

Xiao Xun'er, who was standing by, saw Xiao Ling in deep thought and asked curiously, "Brother Xiao Ling, is there something on your mind?"

Hearing this, Xiao Ling smiled and said, "I'm not worried, I just feel that my current strength is too weak and I can't do many things. I also want to break through to the Dou Wang realm as soon as possible, so that I can turn my Dou Qi into wings and fly."

Xiao Xun'er comforted him, "Brother Xiao Ling, you are still young now, and your current cultivation speed is already very good. Moreover, you are also an alchemist. When you grow up in the future, there will definitely be many people who want to follow you and join your team."

This is not her boasting. Xiao Ling's talent is already considered the top level among geniuses in Zhongzhou. Even some people in the ancient clan who have not awakened their bloodline are far inferior to Xiao Ling. In Xiao Xun'er's eyes, with the potential Xiao Ling has shown so far, it will be no problem for him to become a Dou Sheng in the future. At worst, she can cultivate herself to become the patriarch of the ancient clan and support Xiao Ling in the future.

"Thank you Xun'er for the compliment. Don't worry, I won't let you down." Xiao Ling felt very good when he heard Xiao Xun'er's compliment.

An idea suddenly occurred to me, and I suddenly remembered a buddy who liked to play with guns, so I said:

"At the top of the fighting world, I am the boss of the world. As long as I am Xiao Ling, there will be a world."

"In this life, I, Xiao Ling, am destined to be invincible in the world."

Hearing this, Xiao Xun'er, who was standing by, looked at Xiao Ling's crooked smile and couldn't help laughing. She rolled her eyes at Xiao Ling and said, "That's a good point, but it's a pity that the occasion is not right."

Xiao Ling replied firmly: "Don't worry, there will always be a place where these words will be useful."

The moon rose higher and higher, and the two chatted and laughed, then returned to their own courtyards. The first day in the inner courtyard passed like this.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 35 Tribute

The next morning, Xiao Ling woke up from his sleep.

He sat down in the living room and began reading books on alchemy.

Everyone came down the stairs one after another and greeted each other.

After the last person, Lin Yan, arrived, Lin Xiuya asked, "Let's go and settle the issue of power today to avoid trouble later."

Xiao Ling nodded without commenting, and said, "I'll leave the recruitment of members and the management of the faction to you. I'll only be responsible for refining medicine for you. If faction members ask me to refine medicine, they can get a discount. Just consider it as a benefit of joining the faction."

"Don't worry, I will handle these things seriously. Just treat it as an opportunity to exercise my abilities." Lin Xiuya replied.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you. I'll go out for a walk and try out the effect of the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower." After Xiao Ling finished speaking, he waved to everyone and left the dormitory.

Walking out of the pavilion, there is a green avenue, and on both sides of the avenue are the residences of other freshmen of this class. Han Yue and Xiao Xun'er's room is for two people, and it is right next to the dormitory of Xiao Ling and others.

Of course, compared with the small pavilion of Xiao Ling and his companions, the other houses are a little bit simpler. It seems that not everyone can enjoy this kind of treatment.

There wasn't a single freshman on the road at this time. Perhaps the fire hunting competition was too tiring for the freshmen, so they didn't get up so early.

Xiao Ling walked towards the dormitory of the two girls, and after a quick look, he found that Han Yue was already practicing fighting skills in the yard. Xiao Xun'er should not have gotten up yet, so she didn't notice her. Seeing this, Xiao Ling didn't plan to disturb Han Yue's practice, and walked to other places.

Nearly ten minutes later, Xiao Ling, who was walking slowly, slowed down his pace and looked up at the end of the road. There was a group of people blocking the intersection.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Ling couldn't help but frowned, guessing that this should be the old student who collected the tribute.

When they reached the exit of the avenue, Xiao Ling did not intend to pay attention to them. He found a direction where no one was blocking the way and walked in.

At this moment, seven or eight senior students wearing tower-shaped badges on their chests surrounded him, with ferocious looks on their faces.

Xiao Ling, who didn't want to waste time, saw that these people actually treated him as a soft persimmon, so he stretched out his hand and a spear appeared in his hand. He said in a bad tone: "Don't waste my time, or you will be in trouble."

A burly-looking man in black was very arrogant. He said to Xiao Ling with disdain: "Boy, hand over the fire energy card quickly, or you will be in trouble." As he said that, he raised his hand and punched Xiao Ling.

By slightly shifting his body position, Xiao Ling easily dodged the man's punch, and knocked him to the ground with a backhand shot. Then he activated the suction palm to suck the man back in front of him, and lifted him up by pinching his neck with one hand.

When everyone saw this scene, they all activated their fighting spirit and prepared to beat up Xiao Ling together.

At this moment, an old student came from a distance and shouted at these people: "Stop it now."

Then he smiled at Xiao Ling and said, "This guy is talking nonsense. Xiao Ling, you should leave. The rest of you, hurry up and get out of the way."

Xiao Ling nodded slightly. He didn't want to waste time on such trivial matters. He said in a cold tone, "It has nothing to do with me if you rob others. Don't waste my and my friends' time. Otherwise, don't blame me for not being gentle with you in the future."

Looking at Xiao Ling's back, the burly man in black pried his companion's hand apart and asked in confusion, "Why did you let that guy leave? Didn't Brother Li Zhengyu say that the tribute fee of every new student must be collected? Although this person can enter the inner courtyard at such a young age, his talent is good, but his strength should not be high. He also came in at the bottom. Why should we, the great fighting masters, be afraid of him?"

The young man who had just arrived rolled his eyes at him when he heard this, and said in a serious tone, "You sneaked in? That's because you were not here yesterday and didn't see Xiao Ling and five other people robbing all the old fire energy. Otherwise, you wouldn't have said that."

"Really? How is that possible?" The man in black was a little bit incredulous when he heard this. In the Fire Energy Hunting Competition, there were many Douling masters, and they were ranked in the upper middle level in the entire inner courtyard. How could they be robbed by a kid who looked more than ten years younger than them? He couldn't accept it.

The man shook his head and said, "That's not the case. Especially Xiao Ling, who is only ten years old this year and has already reached the level of a Great Fighter. He is also a fourth-grade peak alchemist. This talent is not something that we can compare to. Now you know why I won't let you do it again."

"And his friends are all very talented and strong. We don't need to provoke them. Judging from Xiao Ling's attitude, he doesn't intend to care about other freshmen. We just accept these."

"I understand." The man in black was speechless.

When the other senior students who were not familiar with Xiao Ling's situation heard this, they also put Xiao Ling in a position that should not be provoked.

Xiao Ling didn't care much about this little episode.

Xiao Ling knew a little about the tribute fee, which was paid by the freshmen to the old students.

This kind of thing should be considered an unspoken rule in the Canaan College.

This tradition is not stipulated by the college. The college only encourages competition. This kind of thing should be said to be an unspoken rule that arises spontaneously with the encouragement of the college.

Xiao Ling had discovered a long time ago, and he didn't know who started it first, but the old students in both the outer and inner courtyards liked to train the freshmen.

After each batch of freshmen are trained by senior students, in order to balance their mentality, they will start to target the freshmen after them when they become senior students, and the cycle repeats itself.

Xiao Ling didn't care about this kind of thing and didn't intend to intervene. He wouldn't set up a faction to clean up the mess for the freshmen like Xiao Yan did in the original novel. Every time his subordinates were bullied, he would ask Xiao Yan to come to the rescue. This kind of thing was a waste of time and thankless.

Xiao Ling and his companions planned to create their own power in order to make their practice more convenient. In the future, if they wanted to find something, they only needed to arrange their subordinates to look for it, and it would also be more convenient to inquire about some information.

……

Without thinking any more about these trivial matters, Xiao Ling took out the map of the inner courtyard that he had asked Elder Su for yesterday, confirmed the location of the Tianfen Qi Training Tower, and then accelerated along the instructions on the map.

The area of ​​the inner courtyard was indeed very large, as Xiao Ling had expected.

He ran for nearly half an hour, but still did not reach the boundary of the inner courtyard.

Along the way, Xiao Ling also felt the atmosphere of the inner courtyard more deeply.

On the way to the Tianfen Qi Training Tower, you can often see students fighting in public. Outside these circles, there are still many people watching, obviously they are used to it. Some of the talkative people shouted at the occasional flaws of the two people fighting, which made the two people in the circle more and more frightened. In the end, they could only withdraw with depressed faces.

This made Xiao Ling sigh: "The atmosphere in the inner courtyard is really very tough. Although this kind of frequent sparring and fighting is not prohibited in the outer courtyard, few people will spar with others unless there is a grudge. After Lin Yan comes to the inner courtyard, he should be able to spar with others to his heart's content."

After running for another twenty minutes or so, he glanced around and was somewhat surprised to find that, for some reason, more and more people were flocking to this road heading north, and each of them was running at their maximum speed. As a result, Xiao Ling could only see figures flashing past above the woods on both sides and the sound of breaking wind.
