After the silent atmosphere lasted for nearly ten minutes, Vice Dean Hu Gan finally looked away from the book and said calmly, "Don't expect me to vent your anger. You asked for it. If you If you have the ability, you can go directly to Xiao Yan to get some relief, but as for who can beat whom, I don't care. In the Jia Nan Academy, this kind of competition is not prohibited. You can do it at any time as long as you think about it."
"Hmph, I didn't expect you to do anything. The reason I lost like that that day was because I was unprepared. I didn't even use my trump card, otherwise I still don't know who will win and who will lose." Hu Jia snorted and said, "I'm just angry that that guy doesn't know how to show mercy at all. After all, I'm also a girl. Can't he strike more lightly? I'm not as thick-skinned as the two of them."
Hearing Hu Jia's muttering, Hu Gan couldn't help but laugh, and said helplessly, "At that time, who cares about your pity and pity, the three of you teamed up to attack one of them. If Xiao Yan still holds back, it would be really unreasonable. Of course, his last move also surprised me. This kid is also a ruthless character."
"Three of you, please don't make enemies with him because of this matter. Young people should be open-minded. It's not worth worrying about this matter. The potential of Xiao Yan in the future is also extremely terrifying. Remember, multiple friends are better than multiple enemies, not to mention that this enemy can still make people feel creepy." Hu Gan looked at the two people in front of him and said seriously.
"Hmph, women hold grudges the most. I will remember that kick too. Don't let me take the chance." Hu Jia curled his lips and said.
Hearing Hu Jia say this, Hu Gan actually laughed. Based on his understanding of the former, he naturally knew that at this time, she really did not hold grudges. However, it was obvious that Xiao Yan's kick did make Hu Jia feel resentful. Although he would not be her enemy in the future, I am afraid that at least she would not give the other party a good look.
"I will not regard him as an enemy, but I will regard him as an opponent that must be surpassed." Wu Hao said calmly.
Hu Gan nodded slightly. This Wu Hao is indeed a fighting madman, but it is only such a person who can go a long way on the road of being strong. No wonder even the dean is very optimistic about him.
"Crunch."
The crisp sound of the door opening suddenly sounded quietly, and a voice came into the room. "Vice Dean, Xiao Yan, Xiao Xun'er, Little Doctor Immortal, and Little Qing Lin have arrived."
"Invite them to come in." Hu Gan closed the books in his hands and said with a smile. He immediately turned his attention to Wu Hao, then looked at his granddaughter Hu Jia and said, "You two will enter Inner Academy in the future, and you may have to fight together. So, don't make the relationship tense. If the freshmen who enter Inner Academy every year don't stick together, the end will not be good. In addition, in the Inner Academy, strength is respected, and whoever has the strongest fist will get the best training conditions. There, any background you have is useless, including me!"
When saying the last sentence, Hu Gan stared at Hu Jia closely, and the meaning was self-evident.
Pouting his lips, Hu Jia, although he was undecided in his heart, nodded on his face.
Shortly after Hu Gan's voice fell, several figures walked slowly towards the door, their eyes scanning around the spacious room, and finally rested on Hu Gan behind the table.
"Haha, you guys are finally here." Looking at the two people with a smile, Hu Gan looked slightly at the faces of Xiao Yan, Little Doctor Immortal, and Little Qing Lin Pang Shang stayed for a while, and it had been nearly ten days since Xiao Yan came to Gama College. This was the first time that Hu Gan had been so close to look at this top student whose reputation had reached the pinnacle of the college at this moment.
Peaceful, gentle, and unfathomable. When they first looked at each other, three words suddenly popped into Hu Gan's mind. He murmured in his mouth, but he smiled bitterly. These two words were two completely different extremes from the wildness Xiao Yan showed during the battle.
"Since you are all here, I won't be nagging you anymore. You should also know the purpose of calling you here." Hu Gan stood up from the chair and smiled, "You are the top five in this selection. According to the rules, you are qualified to enter Library Pavilion to try your luck."
With that said, Hu Gan came to the wall behind him and patted it casually a few times with his palms. A low rumble sounded, and soon a dark passage appeared in front of the five Xiao Yan people.
"Follow me." He waved to the five people. Hu Gan was the first to enter the dark passage, followed by Hu Jia who looked curious and followed without hesitation, followed by Wu Hao After E entered, Xiao Yan took the three girls Xun'er to the passage, leaving Hu Jia in the study with a look of displeasure.
After entering the passage, Xiao Yan discovered that the walls were inlaid with huge luminous pearls. The faint light illuminated the passage and made the light a little hazy, but this light was enough for Xiao Yan and others.
In the passage, the atmosphere was quiet, with only subtle footsteps rustling. Xiao Yan glanced at Hu Gan, who was leading the way, and pulled Xun'er's His hand was a little tighter. As a newcomer, he was not very familiar with the Jia Nan Academy. He also didn't know much about the temperament of the powerful Vice Dean.
As if aware of Xiao Yan's nervousness, Xun'er patted his palm, smiled at him and shook his head.
Nodding slightly, Xiao Yan took a deep breath, his mood gradually returned to calmness, and his pace became a little faster.
After walking in the passage for about half an hour, a bright light finally appeared at the end of the passage. Seeing the light, the steps of the people in the passage accelerated a lot. After a while, they finally reached the end of the passage and stepped out in one step.
The dazzling eyes swayed down from the sky, making Xiao Yan and others habitually close their eyes slightly. After a while, they slowly opened them and looked at the scene that appeared in front of them, but they were a little surprised.
At this time, in front of Xiao Yan and others, there is obviously a valley groove. The steep mountain wall extends all the way up, and finally to the end of the line of sight. Among the three cliffs, there happens to be an extremely wide open space. At this time, in the open space, a staggeringly large and heavy ancient pavilion is standing on it.
His eyes slowly swept across the huge ancient pavilion, and finally stopped on an extremely ancient plaque outside the pavilion. On it, three fonts that had been somewhat blurred by the passage of time were faintly revealed.
Library Pavilion!
Although the ancient handwriting has been destroyed by the years, Xiao Yan and others are still shocked by the simple artistic conception contained in the font. It is indeed the mysterious Library Pavilion in the Jia Nan Academy Outer Academy. This plaque alone reflects its identity.
Hu Gan led the five of them slowly towards the Library Pavilion. When they were about to enter the distance of 20 meters, they suddenly stopped, clasped their fists in the direction of the Library Pavilion and said, "The top five of Inner Academy Qualifying Competition this time have been born. According to the rules, I brought them here and asked the elders to open the door!"
Hu Gan's words, carried by fighting spirit, kept wandering in the small valley, Jiujiu never left.
Shortly after Hu Gan finished speaking, two figures appeared quietly at the door.
But now, these two men in gray robes seemed to be sitting there originally.
"As expected of the Jia Nan Academy, he really has a strong foundation. Two Dou Zong peak experts, tsk~" Xiao Yan was secretly stunned.
Hu Gan's voice slowly dissipated in the valley, but the two gray-robed figures did not make any movement, as if they had not heard anything.
Seeing that there was no response to his words, Hu Gan did not speak again, keeping his clasped fist posture and waiting quietly.
After the silent atmosphere lasted in the valley for nearly ten minutes, just when Xiao Yan frowned slightly, the robes of the two gray-robed figures sitting cross-legged at the door of the pavilion shook slightly. Immediately, under the gray robes, there were two pairs of old monks who looked like old monks. He raised his gaze and faintly scanned Hu Gan and the others one after another. Finally, he suddenly stopped at Little Doctor Immortal. The gray robe shook slightly, and a subtle hoarse exclamation came out quietly. "Heavenly Flames?"
The subtle sound slowly echoed in the silent valley, and clearly penetrated into the ears of Xiao Yan and others.
"Don't you know the name of this little friend?" A man in gray robe stared at Little Doctor Immortal, his hoarse voice revealed a touch of vicissitudes accumulated over the years.
Hearing that the man in gray robe actually abandoned Hu Gan and asked Little Doctor Immortal a question, several people in the valley were startled, and then turned to cast strange eyes on Little Doctor Immortal.
Regarding the question from the man in gray robe, Little Doctor Immortal was also startled, and then he saluted and said respectfully, "Student Little Doctor Immortal, I have met the two elders."
"It is green in color, like liquid in shape, and has infinite vitality. If I predict correctly, the Heavenly Flames that I control should be the Life Flame that ranks fifth among Heavenly Flame Ranking." An old voice sounded in Little Doctor Immortal's ears.
His throat rolled, and Little Doctor Immortal nodded slightly.
"You are really gifted to be able to control Heavenly Flames at such an age." The gray-robed man on the left sighed softly, with a hint of appreciation in his voice. He then moved his gaze to Hu Gan and said in a hoarse voice, "The top five of this session are much better than the last one."
Hearing what he said, Hu Gan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "In that case, please ask the second elder to unlock the space lock."
"Space lock?" The unfamiliar name made Wu Hao, Little Doctor Immortal, and Little Qing Lin stunned.
However, the next moment, everyone seemed to have discovered something. Their eyes were fixed on the half-space half a meter in front of Hu Gan. After a moment, if you look carefully in the space there, you can actually find a few very shallow wrinkles. These folds were hidden in the space and were extremely difficult to detect. His eyes followed the looming folds. Finally, he suddenly discovered that the folds in this space were almost like a wall, protecting the entire Library Pavilion!
"This is a space lock, an extremely powerful mirror that only the strong Dou Venerable has the ability to install. This space lock was left behind by a senior in the academy hundreds of years ago. If the two elders inside had not used a special method to open it, even the strong Dou Zong would not be able to break in." Seemingly aware of the confusion of Xiao Yan and others, Hu Gan in front of him explained with a smile.
The two girls Little Doctor Immortal and Little Qing Lin suddenly nodded, but they felt a little shocked in their hearts. Even the strong Dou Zong was unable to do anything. This is really terrible.
Wu Hao also looked at this scene with fiery eyes, but Xiao Yan and Xun'er looked at this scene with calm expressions.
At the pavilion, two men in gray robes slowly took out two pairs of dry palms from their sleeves, and then slowly formed handprints with one finger and one seal. As their handprints were formed, Xiao Yan and others could clearly feel that two extremely powerful invisible waves were coming out of their palms like waves.
The invisible fluctuations gradually spread, and finally came into contact with those space wrinkles. When the two came into contact, the space in front of Xiao Yan and others was like a mirror made of water, with ripples rising continuously. After a while, the ripples stopped, and a door shape was slowly torn open by invisible hands.
"Let's go." Seeing the door shape of this space, Hu Gan waved his hand, and then walked in first, followed closely by Xiao Yan and others.
Stepping out of the invisible door, Xiao Yan found that the sight in front of him became much brighter than before, and the eyes looking towards the pavilion were also a little clearer. Obviously, they had truly entered the space lock.
"Haha, excuse me, old man." Standing outside the pavilion, Hu Gan smiled at the two gray-robed men sitting cross-legged on the ground.
"It's just a mission." The two mysterious figures, all wrapped in gray robes, didn't even move their bodies, and their hoarse, faint voice sounded slowly.
"Now enter Library Pavilion on your own. Remember, no matter what you want, you can't force it, because everything inside has been added with an energy layer. If your hands can pass through the energy layer without any hindrance, then you can take away the things inside. Of course, no matter how much you can pick up, you may bring out Library Pavilion, but there is only one thing. Don't be greedy, otherwise you will end up with nothing."
"And if you can't penetrate the energy layer, then give up. With your strength, you can't break them. Over the years, people have entered Library Pavilion every year, but in the end, there are not a few people who leave empty-handed. Therefore, you can only let it happen. Don't force what you can't get." Pointing his finger at the Library Pavilion, Hu Gan turned to Xiao Yan and others.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan and others nodded, looked at each other, and then slowly raised their legs and walked towards the Library Pavilion.
In the quiet valley, only subtle rustling footsteps could be heard. The four Xiao Yan walked at the end. A few people walked through the grass in front of the pavilion, and finally stepped onto the bluestone stairs that had been ravaged by time.
The stone stairs were covered with green platforms, which were a bit slippery for the soles of their feet to step on. Fortunately, there was no obstacle to Xiao Yan and the others. After walking along the bluestone stairs for a while, they came to the Library Pavilion. Looking up at the ancient plaque, a feeling of desolation spread out from the plaque. Entanglement was in everyone's hearts, and Jiujiu never left.
"Cough"
