Xiao Yan: Damn, There Seem to Be Eight Clans Girls in the Inner Academy Too. I'm Finished!

In the woods, figures flickered, and in a short while, the muffled sound of flesh hitting the ground rang out. Several figures were sent flying backward, their Dou Qi Armor shattering in mid-air and breaking into pieces on the ground. The residual heat from the fragments scorched the grass black.

Immediately afterwards, a figure flashed out, charging out with a sharp gust of wind.

"Stop!"

The fallen youth cried out in alarm, then pulled out a blue Fire Crystal Card and held it in front of him.

After the blue Fire Crystal Card appeared, the person indeed stopped attacking, reached out and snatched it away, then stopped, revealing a handsome face with a gentle smile.

He immediately took out his black Fire Crystal Card from his Storage Ring, held the black and blue cards together, and rubbed them heavily. As the light flashed, the numbers on the black card increased significantly again, while only a single number remained on the blue Fire Crystal Card: seven.

"Thank you so much for the gift, senior!"

After returning the Fire Crystal Card, which only had a guaranteed minimum of seven points left, to the unlucky senior in front of him, Xiao Yan said with a smile.

"You're a real prodigy..."

The old man on the ground was wincing in pain, and when he looked at the Fire Crystal Card in front of him, which only had seven points left for his minimum living allowance, his heart was breaking.

But there was nothing they could do; their junior was stronger, taking on all three of them by himself. Naturally, they had more respect for the strong.

As for age...

Sigh, age doesn't really matter. It's not like there aren't other weirdos like that in the Inner Academy.

What's wrong with a fifteen or sixteen-year-old Da Dou Shi? Dou Ling aren't unheard of either.

"Hehe."

Xiao Yan didn't care about this. He shrugged with a smile and walked towards Xun'er, Xiao Yi Xian, and the others who had also finished their battle.

"It's definitely faster to just rob them directly. This is already the fourth team. If we're lucky, another team will come, and we'll have a hundred Fire Energy in our cards. Hehe, not bad!"

Hun Li Li said excitedly.

After some recuperation, she has now recovered to the Dou Master realm. With her advanced Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills, she can at least protect herself, if not fight.

Han Yue, standing to the side, also showed a hint of joy on her face. In the Inner Academy, Fire Energy was practically everything; it was the currency used to obtain all cultivation resources. Naturally, the more of this kind of thing, the better. Following Xiao Yan, she could eat eight meals a day!

Upon hearing this, the five figures lying on the ground inexplicably felt a little better—so it turns out we weren't the only ones who were unlucky!

No, that means these guys... are actually robbing the senior students?

The senior students felt increasingly heavy-hearted. They had cultivated in the Inner Academy for a year, yet they were still not as good as the junior students in the Outer Academy. It was truly infuriating to compare themselves to others!

"Let's go find the next group of targets."

Xiao Yan smiled and then released his soul perception again to probe his surroundings.

Meanwhile, in the vast forest, atop a giant tree, two old men sat cross-legged, their bodies motionless. A gentle breeze blew, yet their robes remained as still as steel. It was obvious that these two old men possessed extraordinary strength!

At one moment, the two old men who had their eyes closed slowly opened them, looked at each other, and both saw a hint of surprise and amusement in each other's eyes.

"Hehe, good, good... This year's freshmen are much more interesting than in previous years."

The old man in the gray robe was the first to speak, laughing.

"Those five kids are interesting. They actually dared to snatch senior students, and they're all quite strong, even able to defeat the senior students from the Inner Academy."

Upon hearing this, the old man in the blue robe beside him nodded slightly and praised him.

"That young guy leading the group seems to be named Xiao Yan. Very good, his strength and courage are both quite impressive. I like him!"

The gray-robed old man stroked his beard and chuckled, seemingly having observed Xiao Yan and the others' every move from their conversation.

"Hehe, it's really quite good. In previous years, the students who ranked in the top five in the Selection Tournament were all arrogant and refused to admit defeat to each other. In the end, they were defeated by the senior students of the Inner Academy. But this time, they are surprisingly united."

But that's normal. Those four girls all seem to have a thing for Xiao Yan, and they're practically obedient to him. This is such a rare occurrence, probably the first time since the academy was founded. It looks like this group might just snatch up all the senior students!

The old man in the blue robe said with a smile.

"Speaking of which, those transfer students in the Inner Academy are quite strong. I'm rather curious to see what kind of changes Xiao Yan and the others will bring to the Inner Academy after they enter..."

The old man in the gray robe said with great interest.

"Hmm, their identities are not simple. Even the Great Elder treated them with great courtesy, so they probably have quite a powerful background!"

The old man in the blue robe chuckled softly, a hint of apprehension in his voice.

"Hehe, the Fire Energy Hunting Competition is probably not very interesting. Although the team guarding the gate should be composed of a group of battle-hardened students who came down from the Arena, judging from the relaxed look of Xiao Yan and his group, they probably won't be stumped."

In the dense forest, five figures walked slowly on the withered branches and leaves, their footsteps making a soft rustling sound. On the chests of these five people, there was a badge with a tower-shaped design.

"Damn it, we're so unlucky! Since we entered the forest, we haven't encountered a single new team! If this continues, we won't even get our prize money back for the hunting competition!"

Among the five, one of the young men suddenly couldn't help but curse.

"Stop arguing, keep searching. There are over thirty freshmen, what's the rush?"

The leader frowned and reprimanded the young man.

"But we have thirty people! If someone else gets there first, our chances will be even fewer!"

The young man couldn't help but speak again.

"Gentlemen, are you looking for us?"

Just as the leading man was about to shout again, a soft laugh suddenly rang out not far ahead. The five senior students from the Inner Academy were startled and hurriedly looked up, only to find in astonishment that a group of freshmen, consisting of one man and four women, were smiling at them from a distance.

"Grab them!"

The astonishment on their faces was gradually replaced by ecstasy. The leading man shouted, and the five of them suddenly surrounded the group of new students not far away.

"The senior students in the Inner Academy are still so confident!"

Seeing the five people who had actually rushed forward, Xiao Yan's smile deepened, and he turned his head to the four women behind him and chuckled.

The next moment, Xiao Yan rushed out with Xun'er and Xiao Yi Xian, and unsurprisingly, it was another one-sided situation.

As the three senior students collapsed, coughing up blood, Xiao Yan finished his work and went directly to the leading senior student, smiling kindly.

"Hehe, seniors, you'd better take out your Fire Crystal Card. You don't want me to beat you up and then take your Fire Energy from you, do you?"

Seeing Xiao Yan's completely genuine expression, the senior students could only grit their teeth and obediently hand over their Fire Crystal Card.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan smiled, and then, under their extremely pained gazes, he directly swiped the Fire Energy from their Fire Crystal Card, leaving them with only seven days' worth of basic necessities.

Watching his Fire Energy taken away, the senior student's heart bled. He had thought he would make a fortune this time, but unexpectedly, he lost everything, even his underwear. This was truly...

If I'd known this year's freshmen were this crazy, I wouldn't have come!

"Thank you for your kind gifts, seniors. Once you enter the Inner Academy, you can come and join my ranks."

After casually saying a few words, Xiao Yan returned the Fire Crystal Card to the senior students. Looking at the number over one hundred on the card, a smile appeared on Xiao Yan's lips. With so much Fire Energy, he could cultivate even better.

"Kid, don't get too cocky. We're just the bottom of the Inner Academy. Those at the top are about your age, but much stronger. With your strength, dealing with us is easy, but establishing yourself in the Inner Academy won't be so simple!"

Upon hearing this, the older student sneered.

"Pshaw, don't make a fool of yourself. Xiao Yan is only twelve years old. Are you implying that those people in the Inner Academy are also twelve-year-old Da Dou Shi?"

Hun Li Li couldn't hold back and couldn't help but laugh as she retorted.

"What?"

Upon hearing this, the senior students looked as if they had seen a ghost.

"You're only twelve? Huh? Not fifteen or sixteen?"

Twelve Da Dou Shi?

Is this even human?

The abnormally strong freshmen in the Inner Academy are all fifteen or sixteen-year-old Da Dou Shi, or even seventeen or eighteen-year-old Dou Ling, which is already quite outrageous.

Didn't expect someone to be even more formidable than them?

Twelve years old!

These people were still struggling with Dou Qi when they were twelve years old!

"Does the senior mean that there are actually fifteen or sixteen-year-old Da Dou Shi in the Inner Academy?"

Xiao Yan sensed something was amiss and frowned as he asked.

"Yes, you can tell at a glance they're from powerful families. They've never been to the Outer Academy; they went straight to the Inner Academy. They're all beautiful and incredibly strong, just like the junior girls next to you."

The senior student in the lead nodded, indicating that he had spoken frankly and without reservation.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan pursed his lips.

Just as good as the female student next to him?

Broken!

The two junior girls beside him are Woe Poison Body, an ice queen, and the other two are both from Eight Clans!

Judging from what this senior was saying, Xiao Yan felt that those powerful women this senior was talking about might also be women from Eight Clans.

No way!!!

Xiao Yan felt like he was doomed.

If the women of the Ancient Eight Clans were truly gathered at the Jia Nan Academy, then in the eyes of the Soul Hall and the Soul Clan, what difference would there be between them and a walking, floating sun?

My life is over!

Leaving Jia Nan Academy now and venturing directly into the Central Plains feels safer than staying in the Inner Academy!

Xun'er and Hun Li Li clearly realized something was amiss, exchanged a glance, and then both shook their heads.

They had not received any prior notice...

Xiao Yi Xian noticed that Xiao Yan's expression was rather unpleasant, and then saw that Xun'er and Hun Li Li were exchanging glances, so she immediately became alert.

Something's not right!

Han Yue, however, keenly realized one thing: there was juicy gossip! And it was a huge piece of gossip!

"Hey, I heard there's a team of freshmen hunting down those Inner Academy in the forest!"

"Huh? No way? Who's so fierce? How could they beat those guys?"

"Haha, who else could it be but the strongest freshman team led by Xiao Yan!"

"Xiao Yan's team?"

"Damn, that's tough! Those bastards have been bullying us freshmen these past few days, now it's time they taste what it's like to be robbed! Good for them! That's fucking satisfying!"

"Haha, let's hurry up! If we're lucky, we might run into Xiao Yan and the others in the forest. As long as we follow behind them, we won't have to worry about those senior students from the Inner Academy!"

In the forest, all sorts of rumors spread like wildfire. By now, the news that Xiao Yan and his group were hunting down the senior students had spread throughout the entire forest. Both the senior and junior students were stunned by this shocking news.

Shortly after the rumors spread, while some people remained skeptical, five groups of senior students from the Inner Academy, their faces grim and filled with resentment and anger, headed towards the end of the forest.

Even when they occasionally encountered groups of new recruits along the way, they didn't attack, but simply left the forest with gloomy faces.

According to the rules, if the senior team loses less than ten Fire Energy in the forest, they will lose the qualification to continue participating in the hunting competition in the forest, and at this time, they will need to leave automatically.

Now, only the guard team remains in the forest.

After learning that they had been utterly defeated by the freshmen, the team defending the gate remained remarkably calm.

Because their strength far surpasses that of the five veteran teams that were eliminated.

They are invincible!

But they had no idea that Xiao Yan was already planning to run away from the Jia Nan Academy.

The risk is too great!

From the senior student, Xiao Yan learned the names of several female transfer students.

Yao Ling.

Shi Xuanxuan.

Ling Yanfei.

Oh my god, the Ancient Eight Clans!

With Xun'er and Yun Li by his side, all that's missing are the members of the Lei and Yan clans!

Holy crap, where did this come from? Is this still the Dou Qi Continent?

Xiao Yan truly felt he was doomed.

Xiao Yan had never heard of Shi Xuanxuan and Ling Yanfei, but he was very familiar with Yao Ling!

This girl has an extremely special constitution; her blood has the effect of nourishing the soul. Logically speaking, the Yao Clan should never have released her!

Xiao Yan couldn't understand.

Xun'er didn't understand either.

As the eldest daughter of the Ancient Clan, how could she not even know about something so important?

But that talent, that surname, could absolutely not be a coincidence.

It can be basically concluded that they are from the Medicine, Spirit, and Stone clans.

Hun Li Li remained expressionless.

If they were also time travelers, she would go crazy.

Why should I be transported to this godforsaken place called the Soul Clan, while they can travel to the other Eight Clans?

I want to kill someone...
