Xiao Ling couldn't wait to ask: "What is the assessment task?"

Touching his beard, Hu Qian said, "Choose a five-star Grand Master or above from the wanted list of the academy patrol team and kill him. These are the people who disrupted the order in Canaan City and escaped. They are definitely not weak among the same level. Don't be careless."

After listening to this, Xiao Ling nodded and said, "Then Dean, I will go to complete the task. Wait for my good news." After saying this, he turned and left.

Hu Qian looked at Xiao Ling's departing figure and nodded. Actually, he had wanted to persuade Xiao Ling to practice in the academy for a while this morning. Even if he went, he would arrange for someone to secretly protect him. But the mysterious Douhuang strongman who was guarding Xiao Xun'er came to him yesterday and told him that he would protect Xiao Ling's safety, so he had nothing to worry about. Moreover, a true strong man must always go through the tempering of battle.

Chapter 20 Experience

Three days later.

blackrock city

A young man was walking on the street. He was wearing a black robe, with long blue-silver hair draped behind him. He had a half-face mask on his head, revealing only a pair of blue-gold eyes. He was about 1.7 meters tall. It was Xiao Ling who had left Canaan Academy for training.

call out!

At this time, a little boy who looked about eleven or twelve years old rushed over here across the crowd, seemingly avoiding something, but his movements were heading towards Xiao Ling intentionally or unintentionally.

boom!

Before he could get within one meter of the two people, the little boy was violently whipped away. His chest seemed to have been hit hard, slightly sunken, and he coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood. The boy struggled a few times before collapsing on the ground. This kind of injury, if not treated in time, would be life-threatening, and several small purses also fell from his chest at this time, revealing his identity.

Xiao Ling retracted his horizontal palm, his eyes were extremely indifferent, and he slightly activated the suction palm. Several bags of gold coins fell into his hand and were put into Twenty-Four Bridges on a Moonlit Night.

In the shadows on the street, a few obscure gazes gradually retreated.

It has been three days since he left Canaan Academy. Because Xiao Ling used the "camouflage" skill of the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor's torso bone to simulate the strength of a five-star Fighting Master, on his way to Black Stone City, those above the Grand Fighting Master looked down on him, and those below the Fighting Master did not dare to provoke him.

Those who came to provoke Xiao Ling were all fighting masters and great fighting masters, but they were all robbed by Xiao Ling in the end.

He still remembered that two five-star fighters were tracking him. After they walked into a small alley, he was surrounded by the two. Xiao Ling pretended to surrender first, and when one of them approached him, he directly attacked one of them, and then fought with the other one for several rounds and killed him alone.

At that time, both of them were stunned. Xiao Ling only replied: "You two are not bad. You can continue to be brothers in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner." Then he put the two of them into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

Walking into a fairly luxurious looking hotel and heading towards the front desk, Xiao Ling said to the obese man behind the front desk, "Book a room."

The fat man who was taking a nap behind the front desk saw someone entering the inn. He looked at Xiao Ling carefully, and a golden light flashed in his tiny eyes.

Xiao Ling casually threw out a small purse filled with gold coins, which made a jingling sound.

The fat man's eyes were full of greed. He picked up the purse and weighed it. Then he looked at the ring in Xiao Ling's hand and the belt on his body. His smile became more greedy, but he said with some disdain: "This is the best hotel in the city. This little money is not enough."

"At least ten more... oh no, twenty more gold coins."

Under the black robe, Xiao Ling lowered his eyes slightly, without any reaction, and threw another purse over.

The fat man saw Xiao Ling's generous look, as if he saw a fat sheep, and became more enthusiastic, "Okay, wait a moment, sir, I will arrange a room for you right away."

At the same time, he secretly cried out in his heart, because what he got just now was still too little, but he could make a small profit in the evening. A small fighting master actually had two storage items on him, which was definitely worth a lot of money.

After entering the room he had booked, Xiao Ling looked around. Although it was not very luxurious, it was fully furnished with furniture, tables, chairs and beds.

He walked to the bed, sat cross-legged, and took out a wanted poster from Twenty-Four Bridges on a Moonlit Night.

If you look closely, you can see that it is the portrait of the fat man downstairs, as well as some basic information.

[Tang Ritian, who is good at using hammer fighting skills, has reached the level of an eight-star master fighter. He runs a hotel in Black Stone City and often assassinates its customers.]

Putting the wanted poster back on his belt, Xiao Ling said to himself: "A true hunter always appears as a prey. I hope the battle can be over tonight. It's a good opportunity to test the power of the fighting skills I imitated and created before."

Without giving it any more thought, he sat cross-legged, formed a practice hand seal and began to practice. His body began to absorb the fighting spirit, and his soul perception was always paying attention to the movements around the room.

It's three o'clock in the morning and the moon is dim.

While practicing, Xiao Ling discovered that a figure was walking towards his room.

The soul sensed and focused on the person downstairs, and it was Tang Ritian. At this moment, he was holding a black hammer in his hand, and his eyes were full of greed.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling quickly withdrew from his practice, first used the "camouflage" skill to conceal his breath, and then summoned the Fiery Wolf Beast Fire and the Dark Sea Dragon Beast Fire, fusing the two into one, and when the energy between them reached a balance, a strange flaming lotus was formed.

The soul's perception was concentrated outside the door. When Tang Ritian just opened the door, Xiao Ling suddenly shot a Buddha's Fury Lotus towards Tang Ritian.

Feeling the huge energy coming towards him, Tang Ritian was so anxious that he quickly swung up the big hammer and shouted, "How can you be so strong? Take my unique skill, the Big Suni Hammer." Unfortunately, before he could swing the hammer, the fire lotus had already fallen on him and exploded in front of him. Fortunately, he activated the Dou Qi armor in time, otherwise he might have been blown to ashes.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a huge hole was blown out in the inn, and the flames began to spread all around.

Xiao Ling jumped out of the window early and moved away for a distance, so he was not affected. However, Tang Ritian hit him in the face with a Buddha's Fury Lotus, and one of his arms was bloody and his body was covered with burns of varying sizes.

Seeing Xiao Ling, who was unharmed and staring at him indifferently, Tang Ritian ignored his injuries and fled into the distance.

But Xiao Ling didn't intend to give him a chance. When he saw Tang Ritian, he ran towards him.

Seeing the Dou Qi armor on Xiao Ling, Tang Ritian knew that he had been ambushed, and he was already seriously injured, with basically no hope of escaping, so he shouted to Xiao Ling: "Young man, today's incident is all my fault. I'll work like a slave for you, please let me live."

But hidden in his pleading eyes was a deep hatred. He had already realized that Xiao Ling was only a one-star master, and planned to wait for Xiao Ling to let down his guard before launching a sneak attack. With his strength as an eight-star master, he would surely succeed and kill him with one blow.

But Xiao Ling did not give him a chance to continue speaking. He used the Wind Chasing Step to quickly approach Tang Ritian, and under his horrified eyes, he fired a red flame fist towards his heart. Although Tang Ritian raised his sledgehammer to resist, it bounced off after two seconds of stalemate. Under Tang Ritian's horrified eyes, Xiao Ling punched through his chest.

Xiao Ling's fighting principle is to take advantage of your weakness to kill you. It is common to see villains die because of talking too much. Xiao Ling does not want to become that kind of brainless villain.

He retracted his fist and burned the blood on it with beast fire, then took away Tang Ritian's storage ring, put his soul into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, and recorded the corpse with the Crystal Stone. Then Xiao Ling put on a black robe and blended into the night.

Chapter 21 Return to College

Three days later, at Canaan College, outside Heping Town.

A young man was walking towards Heping Town. Judging from his appearance, it was Xiao Ling.

Seeing Heping Town appear in his sight, Xiao Ling let out a long sigh, and his tense nerves over the past few days finally relaxed a little.

Xiao Ling had a hard time these days. On the way back, he often encountered assassins and robbers. Xiao Ling did not dare to relax for a moment, and his rest quality was extremely poor.

He shook his head, thinking that his strength was too weak. If he were a Douhuang or Douwang, he would be able to walk around in these places with ease.

Touching the dozens of storage rings in his pocket, Xiao Ling couldn't help but smile. For safety reasons, these storage rings have not been sorted out. He couldn't help but mutter in his heart: "Although the assets of the Grand Fighter and Fighter should not be very much, but with so many, it should be possible to get some good things. It always feels like opening a blind box."

Without giving any more thoughts, Xiao Ling circulated his fighting spirit and rushed towards the gate of Heping Town.

There were many pedestrians on this loess road. These people were obviously from the Black Horn Region. They had the ferocious aura that Xiao Ling was familiar with. They were obviously trained by fighting fiercely and bravely in the Black Horn Region.

However, no matter how ferocious these people are, they have to control their temper within a hundred miles of Canaan College.

Looking at these, I tried hard to hide the murderous intent in my heart.

A passerby with a strange expression on his face.

Xiao Ling sighed in his heart: "The influence of Canaan Academy is still there, and the people around don't dare to act presumptuously." He shook his head and ignored it.

Walking along the loess road lined with lush trees on both sides, Xiao Ling enjoyed the rare tranquility in the Black Horn Region and slowly approached the small town.

After running for a few minutes, Xiao Ling stopped at the gate of the town and looked up at the plaque at the gate. The name on it was very ordinary and vulgar. If it was placed in the Black Horn Region, it would be demolished the next day.

"Heping Town" is the first town you come across when entering the Canaan College area from the Black Horn Region!

After glancing at the crowd standing beside the Undead Tree, who were marveling at the corpses of the Dou Huang and Dou Wang, Xiao Ling stepped into Heping Town.

As soon as he stepped into the town, Xiao Ling saw a middle-aged man, with a dozen young men and women in light blue robes, who were recording the identity data of passers-by who had just entered Heping Town.

Xiao Ling also saw that many passers-by were given a small light pink pill after reporting their information.

However, those passers-by seemed very reluctant to take this pill.

The middle-aged leader just sneered and said, "Anyone who enters Heping Town must report their identity, name, etc. Otherwise, they will be expelled directly."

"In addition, you must swallow the pill made by the Alchemy Department of the academy that can sense murderous intent. Don't worry, it's not poison. If you harbor murderous intent in your heart while in this town, the pill will emit a red light from your body, and our law enforcement team will follow the red light to find you. You should also know how Canaan Academy deals with those who bring the Black Horn Region's atmosphere here... When you plan to leave this town, you can go to the antidote distribution point in the center of the town to get the antidote. However, once you get the antidote, the law enforcement team will supervise you all the way out of the town."

"If you don't swallow the pills, you can leave now."

After explaining the rules, the middle-aged man in charge no longer paid attention to the resisting passers-by.

After all, Heping Town is not a place where these people can run wild, and Canaan Academy is not afraid of these people from the Black Horn Region coming to provoke. The corpse on the undead tree next to it is the same fate.

It was because there were corpses hanging on the crowns of the big trees not far from the town gate. Some of them had been dried, but some were still fresh. The breeze blew through the treetops, causing the corpses to make creepy creaking sounds.

The reputation of this dead tree has almost reached a level that makes people terrified. Many people who have been in the Black Horn Region for a few years will never forget the bloody battle between the Black Horn Region and the South College.

Not many people have studied the exact cause of the bloody battle that year, and the only thing that everyone knows is that after the bloody battle, the bodies of two Dou Wangs and one Dou Huang were hung on this undead tree in an almost cruel way.

Since then, no strong man from the Black Horn Region dared to come here to cause trouble. Even if there were occasional disturbances, within an hour, the person who caused the disturbance would become a fresh corpse on the Undead Tree.

Xiao Ling walked towards the crowd and found a senior schoolmate he had met in the outer courtyard. He walked up to her and said with a smile, "Senior Li Xi, long time no see. I just came from the Black Horn Region for training. Can I go directly to the school?"

The senior blushed when she saw this handsome face. She knew Xiao Ling. Xiao Ling was very famous in the outer courtyard and was very gentle. She had touched his head when he was eight years old. She didn't expect that he would become more and more handsome in the past two years. She shook her head and said quickly, "It turned out to be Xiao Ling, junior brother. Of course you can go in directly. Are you injured outside? Do you need our help?"

When the people around heard Xiao Ling's name, they all turned their attention over here.

Seeing that it was Xiao Ling, the famous genius from the outer courtyard, everyone started talking about it.

"Is that Xiao Ling, the number one genius at Canaan College? He's so handsome."

"Junior brother Xiao Ling has already broken through to the Grand Fighter level at the age of ten. He is truly a genius!"

"If I could have half of his talent, I would be satisfied!"

Without paying attention to the comments of people around him, Xiao Ling replied to Li Xi: "I am not injured. Thank you for your concern, goodbye." After waving his hand, Xiao Ling walked towards the school.

Heping Town is quite far from Canaan City.

By the time Xiao Ling arrived at the academy on the flying magic beast, it was already late at night.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Xiao Ling planned to meet Xiao Xun'er tomorrow.

Let’s take stock of the harvest first.

He walked to the chair and sat down, taking out the storage rings from his pocket, a total of twenty-seven storage rings.

The soul's perception power invaded into it and took out the items one by one.

Throw the debris aside and ignore it.

First of all, there are gold coins. There are more than 200,000 gold coins in total, which is not bad.

There were also some medicinal ingredients for low-level elixirs, all of which were used to restore fighting spirit and treat injuries. There were only two Qi Gathering Powders, which were of no use to Xiao Ling.

There are also some fighting skills with various attributes. They are all Xuan-level and Huang-level, and none of them can compare to the fighting skills Xiao Ling is using now.

Xiao Ling thought about it for a while, and muttered to himself: "Next time when Teacher Ruolin goes to recruit students, let's ask him to help bring them to the Xiao family. They used to be one of the eight ancient clans, but now they only have one wind-attributed Xuan-level intermediate technique to use. If the clan leader doesn't have wind attribute, there is nothing to practice."

I shook my head and stopped thinking about it. I was really tired and needed to have a good rest.

After taking a shower and drinking a cup of Coke, Xiao Ling fell into a long-awaited dream.

Chapter 22 Han Yue

the next morning.

A beam of sunlight shone into the room from the window and fell on the face of Xiao Ling who was sleeping.

Frowning, Xiao Ling woke up from his sleep in a daze.

I stretched and yawned loudly, muttering to myself, "I haven't slept so comfortably in a long time."

Looking at the sunlight outside the window, Xiao Ling turned over, got out of bed, and began to wash up.

"Xun'er should still be sleeping at this time. She never practices at night. I'll learn alchemy for a while and then go find her."

"Ding-a-ling, jingle-a-ling."

Xiao Ling, who was reading "Secrets of Alchemists" at the desk, heard the bell in the room ring. The bells were a pair, which could sense each other's situation. One was in Xiao Ling's room, and the other was at the gate of the yard. He couldn't help but wonder, muttering in his heart: "Who came to see me so early in the morning? Did Xun'er know that I was back?"

After putting the books into the bookshelf, Xiao Ling walked out the door.

After opening the courtyard door and looking outside, he saw a young woman in a purple dress. She was tall and slender, with a slightly thin face, but she was a rare beauty. Her skin was as white as snow, and her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque. What surprised people the most was that she had waist-length hair, which was a rare silver color. The silver hair matched the purple dress, making her exude a cold and aloof temperament that people could only admire from afar. Especially the arms and legs wrapped in black silk, even Xiao Ling, who had experienced the baptism of various photo-editing beauties in his previous life, couldn't help but take a second look.

Just when Xiao Ling hadn't come back to his senses, a gentle and graceful voice came into Xiao Ling's ears, "Good morning, Xiao Ling, I heard that you practice instead of sleep every day, so I came to see you so early today, I hope I didn't disturb you?"

Hearing this, Xiao Ling came back to his senses immediately, looked at Han Yue, who was half a head taller than him, and immediately replied: "Don't disturb me, I haven't seen Senior Han Yue for a week. We can chat for a while today." After that, he pointed to the pavilion in the courtyard and walked up first.

Seeing this, Han Yue did not say anything more. She twisted her charming body and followed Xiao Ling towards the pavilion in the courtyard.

After both of them sat down, Xiao Ling took out two sets of tea sets and poured a cup of fragrant tea for each of them.

Glancing at Han Yue in purple, Xiao Ling couldn't help but mutter in his heart: "Xu Gao is right, purple is really charming."
