Senior, Don't Run, Senior!
After logging off, Yang Shan rested for a while and logged back on at the appointed time.
Upon opening the door, Hu Qian, Hu Jia, Ruo Lin were already standing in the courtyard.
Hu Jia scolded, "Why are you only getting up now? You're going to be late!"
Yang Shan: "Isn't Xun'er Sister Xun'er still not here?"
Are you talking about me?
Yang Shan turned his head and saw Xiao Xun'er right in front of him.
"Wow! Xun'er, don't you make any noise when you walk?"
Xiao Xun'er pondered for a moment:
Does walking have to make noise?
Yang Shan: "."
There was nothing that could be done; although the system showed that Xiao Xun'er was currently Four-Star Dou Ling.
However, as one of the female protagonists in the original work, and a special NPC with the Five-Colored Word Seal, Xiao Xun'er's actual cultivation level and combat strength are probably unknown even to Hu Qian.
Hu Qian: "Now that everyone is here, I'll take the extra step and personally lead you there. It wouldn't be appropriate if we were late."
Ruo Lin smiled and said:
"Xun'er, Yang Shan, keep up the good work! I'll be waiting for you in the Inner Courtyard!"
Xiao Xun'er: "Huh? Instructor Ruo Lin, why are you going to the Inner Courtyard?"
Ruo Lin: "I've recruited two genius students like you. As long as you perform exceptionally well in the Fire Energy Hunting Competition, I can go into seclusion in the Inner Courtyard. Perhaps I'll have a chance to challenge for the title of Dou Wang."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xun'er made a serious promise:
"I will try my best."
Ruo Lin looked at Yang Shan:
"Yang Shan!"
Yang Shan: "Mentor Ruo Lin, I'm listening. Just tell me what you need."
Ruo Lin: "Xun'er a rather naive child. Please take good care of her along the way. She will protect you, and you will take care of her. Only by supporting each other can we reach the Inner Courtyard smoothly."
Yang Shan: "Okay, I understand!"
Yang Shan's system backend was flashing notifications frantically:
[Hu Jia harbors resentment towards you; your favorability rating has decreased by 1!]
[Hu Jia harbors resentment towards you; your favorability rating has decreased by 1!]
[Hu Jia harbors resentment towards you; your favorability rating has decreased by 1!]
Sure enough, love makes people unpredictable. Hu Jia now sees Yang Shan purely as a "love rival"!
"It's time to go!"
Dean Hu Qian waved his hand, and Dou Qi Light Wings appeared on the backs of Yang Shan, Xiao Xun'er, and Hu Jia! The power of Dou Huang Peak level expert is indeed incomparable to that of Dou Qi Dou Ling.
All three of them had their Dou Qi Light Wings controlled by Hu Qian.
Dou Qi Light Wings also appeared behind Hu Qian himself.
The four took off from the courtyard and headed north.
From Canaan City to the Outer Courtyard of the Jia Nan Academy, the view from above is quite unique.
Although the speed of the Dou Qi Transformation Wings is fast, the area occupied by the Jia Nan Academy is indeed vast.
After flying for about ten minutes, Yang Shan finally saw the endless forest on the ground.
"This is it!"
Hu Qian's right hand slowly extended.
The Dou Qi Light Wings immediately carried the three of them down from mid-air.
As soon as the three landed, a large number of snake-like magical beasts attacked from all sides.
Hu Jia took out a whip and stood protectively beside Xiao Xun'er:
"Xun'er, be careful, this is a third-tier Green Poisonous Snake."
Xiao Xun'er: "Senior Hu Jia, I am Four-Star Dou Ling."
Hu Jia felt a little guilty, but still insisted, "But there are many Green Poisonous Snake, and it would be very troublesome to get poisoned."
Yang Shan also found it very troublesome.
For him, a third-tier magical beast has pitifully low experience points.
But not killing them is not an option.
The Thunderbolt Blade was drawn, and the Ape King Violet Lightning clung to it.
Hu Jia's heart skipped a beat. "This is a fifth-tier Beast Thunder?"
Yang Shan delivered a horizontal slash, and the Ape King Violet Lightning immediately erupted.
Dozens of Green Poisonous Snake ahead were charred black by the electric shock.
Yang Shan: "Let's keep heading north. Getting entangled with these third-tier magical beasts is a waste of time."
Hu Jia muttered under her breath, "Trying to be a hero in front of Xun'er, huh? I can do that too!"
Hu Jia clearly used Dou Technique; the Dou Qi on her whip was quite evident.
Yang Shan used a knife to clear the way, while Hu Jia used a whip to sweep the tail.
Xiao Xun'er, like a well-behaved baby in a greenhouse, was protected by the two men and quickly got rid of the group of Green Poisonous Snake.
Five miles away from Yang Shan and his two companions.
The five senior students of the Inner Courtyard, dressed in their Inner Courtyard student uniforms, all looked south.
"The target has been spotted."
"It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. I didn't expect the landing point to be so nearby."
"How much do you think we should rob this time?"
"Let's be cautious. I heard that there are only three freshmen participating in this trial, and they are all geniuses."
"Genius? I heard from Bai Feng that his cousin Bai Shan is now a genius in the Outer Courtyard and has even joined the Enforcement Team. He's only Nine-Star Great Fighter. How strong can these three geniuses be? Can they possibly take down five of us Dou Ling?"
Yang Shan, Xiao Xun'er, and Hu Jia did not travel very fast.
In Hu Jia's words, Fire Energy Points the senior students in the Inner Courtyard fight over the fire?
They're scrambling for the senior students in the Inner Courtyard!
Yang Shan agrees with this viewpoint.
Hu Jia probably doesn't know much about it.
This is a special trial specifically for the three of them.
I'm afraid none of those senior students are below the Dou Ling level.
Even with a purple stat, Hu Jia, a Two-Star Dou Ling, would probably struggle to last long in a battle.
Yang Shan's idea was very simple.
He would never intentionally protect Xiao Xun'er.
Because he had seen Xiao Xun'er emerge unscathed and nearly burn a Dou Wang to death.
Protecting Xiao Xun'er, in Xiao Xun'er's view, would be a bit too deliberate.
The three-person formation was Yang Shan in front, Xiao Xun'er in the middle, Hu Jia in the back.
Yang Shan originally wanted to stay in the back, since the view from behind was quite nice, whether it was Xiao Xun'er or Hu Jia.
Hu Jia simply wanted to keep an eye on Yang Shan to prevent him from doing anything inappropriate to Xiao Xun'er.
If you walk in front, you won't be able to see anything.
As the three were walking, Xiao Xun'er suddenly said:
"Someone's coming, five of them, be careful."
Yang Shan drew his Thunderbolt Blade and charged straight out.
Hu Jia gritted her teeth:
"Doesn't this kid have any team spirit? Is he just playing it safe? Xun'er, this kind of man is no good!"
Xiao Xun'er was both amused and exasperated, and could only remain silent.
Playing solo? You're kidding!
This is Fire Energy Points!
With just one Fire Energy, one can enter the first level of the "Heavenly Flame Training Tower" and cultivate for a day! Beneath the Heavenly Flame Training Tower lies the "Fallen Heart Flame," ranked fourteenth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking. Thanks to the special effects of the Fallen Heart Flame, the entire Heavenly Flame Training Tower possesses unique cultivation benefits.
Players can enter the AFK Cultivation while AFK, and both their experience points and the efficiency of their skill training will be significantly improved.
Players who enter the Inner Courtyard level up much faster than ordinary players at the Da Dou Shi and Dou Ling stages.
This is where the advantage of the Jia Nan Academy lies.
Yang Shan values the purchasing power of Fire Energy Points more.
In the Inner Courtyard, Fire Energy Points can even be exchanged for Earth Tier Low Grade cultivation techniques! Hu Jia didn't care, as her combat strength was limited.
Xiao Xun'er is a special NPC specially arranged by Tian Yao Company with a "cheat code"!
If Xiao Xun'er makes a move, they might not even get a taste of the soup.
Why don't you hurry up and grab more?
The five-man senior student team was very experienced; they even found cover, preparing to launch a sneak attack.
Unfortunately, Yang Shan's Soul Strength had reached the Mortal Realm Perfection.
Therefore, their perception ability has also improved.
Not to mention the special tactile feedback provided by the system.
Take line of sight as an example.
In Yang Shan's view, there was still vegetation everywhere.
But Yang Shan could see a faint light flickering around him.
Red represents the Fire Attribute, dark green represents the wood element, and light cyan represents the Wind Attribute.
There are five in total.
This is where these five people are hiding!
If you encounter a truly powerful or well-hidden opponent, there will be no light warning; only subtle sensory alerts that are difficult to detect.
Similar to a mosquito landing on your arm, or a small fan blowing air from three meters away.
All I can say is that Tian Yao Company did an incredibly realistic job with these details.
This resulted in the fact that even in the third year of the previous life, no player dared to say that they had fully understood all the system designs of Battle Through the Heavens!
The Ape King Violet Lightning reappeared, Yang Shan took the opportunity to strike the senior student closest to him.
It would have been better if Yang Shan hadn't made a move.
The moment he made his move, his aura was revealed, leaving the five hidden senior students completely dumbfounded.
"Four-Star Dou Ling?"
"Fifth-Order Beast Lightning?"
Without giving his opponent much time to react, Yang Shan activated the "Tyrant Blade" technique.
However, as a senior student of the Jia Nan Academy, the opponent has relatively rich practical experience.
The Dou Qi Armor was activated immediately.
Unfortunately, the old man underestimated Yang Shan's attack power.
Two-Star Dou Ling, Blue Word Seal, the Dou Qi Armor activated by this senior student was not very sturdy.
It cracks with one cut, and shatters with three.
The older student became anxious:
"Stop watching and get started!"
No sooner had he finished speaking Yang Shan's knife was placed against the old man's throat.
At this moment, the other four senior students finally appeared.
But seeing their teammate captured, they dared not make a move.
Yang Shan grinned. "Hey seniors, let's chat first. This guy I held a knife to, he probably won't make a move later, right? Or maybe I'll beat him so badly he can't even lift his hand?"
"Don't!"
The old man, whose knife was at his side, was terrified that Thunderbolt Blade might move a few inches further.
"This thing is deadly!" the old man said.
"Junior, you're really good. You win! Let me go. I won't interfere again."
Yang Shan held the knife in his right hand, then extended his left hand, revealing a fiery red Crystal Card: "Thank you, senior!"
The older students thought Yang Shan didn't know the rules, but he'd already shown up the Fire Energy Crystal Card!
The senior student could only smile wryly as he took out his own Crystal Card and affixed it to Yang Shan's Crystal Card.
Yang Shan's Crystal Card immediately gained 20 more Fire Energy.
"Thank you, senior."
The veteran shouted to his teammates, "This kid's got some skills, don't..."
Before the old student could finish speaking, Yang Shan's knife was already at the neck of another old student.
The scene was completely silent; even the Spirit Sparrow on the treetops, which were about to chirp, were so frightened that they shrank their necks.
One cut!
Just one cut!
Yang Shan then broke through the Dou Qi Armor of another senior student.
During the conversation, Yang Shan's Dou Qi was being depleted at a rate of 1 point per second.
The sword's momentum had already accumulated to seven levels.
Each strike dealt nearly three thousand points of damage! The other three senior students thought they were hallucinating.
What kind of Dou Technique is so powerful? A group of students with Blue Word Seal and the highest level being only Two-Star Dou Ling, how could they possibly be a match for Yang Shan, this overpowered guy?
Yang Shan then took out the Crystal Card:
"Excuse me, senior, please swipe your card."
The old man's face was ashen.
The other three senior students dared not linger.
If I don't slip away now, am I just waiting to swipe my card? But Yang Shan's laughter from behind sounded like a demon's whisper, "Senior! Don't run away, senior!"
