Entering the Library Pavilion Again

Seeing that the people were still preparing to attack, Xiao Yan took a deep breath, shouted suddenly, and his body once again burst forth with a terrifying aura.

Under the influence of this momentum, a cold, fierce wind swept out, causing the dark clouds in the sky to gather rapidly, once again enveloping the arena in a chilling, icy atmosphere.

"How is this possible? How could he still possess such power?!"

The icy wind whipped against their faces, startling all the contestants.

Unleashing two Earth Tier Dou Technique in succession is something that even Da Dou Shi like them cannot do.

These students are quite talented, but their judgment is still too immature.

The Dou Technique Xiao Yan used earlier were not purely based on the Dou Qi currently within his body.

Throughout the battle, Xiao Yan's situation can be divided into before and after his advancement.

The ice energy Xiao Yan had accumulated before his advancement was not only replenished after he completed the advancement, but his Dou Qi was also greatly enhanced.

Therefore, the powerful attack did not deplete much of Xiao Yan's Dou Qi, but it did put his control to a rigorous test.

This time, Xiao Yan mobilized his internal Dou Qi to a great extent and unleashed Dou Technique of the Earth Tier.

A chilling aura surged forth from Xiao Yan's body, instantly forming thick ice spikes on the ground.

Each one was about ten feet long, and the chilling white air condensed at its tip into a unique spiral structure.

Staring in horror at the ice shards that resembled the fangs of a giant dragon, the figures that were about to pounce suddenly stopped and retreated.

With the temperature dropping to freezing point, Xiao Yan stomped his foot hard on the ground, and spiderweb-like cracks spread wildly along the ice surface.

With a deafening roar, countless enormous ice shards shattered, turning into a sky full of ice crystals.

At the same time, Xiao Yan waved his hands repeatedly, and the powerful Dou Qi within his body erupted like a volcano, turning into endless lava that swept outwards.

The powerful Dou Qi enveloped the shattered ice crystals, unleashing a terrifying power that caused the heavens and earth to change color!

Under the relentless bombardment, the students' Dou Qi Armor began to freeze, eventually unable to withstand the temperature of the ice, and cracks appeared.

The three at the front defended for a breath or two before their armor shattered into countless ice blocks.

The three strongest fighters were defeated, and after they got up, more than ten Da Dou Shi students followed them like kites with broken strings, flying backwards and crashing through three stone pillars before finally stopping.

As the attack subsided, Xiao Yan, clad in a black robe, stood with his hands behind his back. His left side was enveloped in wisps of cold air, while his right side was radiating a heat as intense as magma.

Two completely opposite energies blended perfectly around him, subtly forming a mysterious and profound force of nature.

The students watching the battle were horrified to discover that when the falling ice shards touched Xiao Yan within three zhang of him, half of them condensed into ice crystals and fell, while the other half vaporized into white mist and rose up.

Xiao Yan lightly flicked away non-existent dust from his robes, and frost and scorch marks alternated on the bluestone ground as he stepped forward.

The students, who had been so aggressive earlier, were now all standing still, not daring to take a single step forward. Only the ancient bell beside the referee's seat hummed softly.

"This year's Inner Academy Selection Tournament has come to an end." Hu Gan appeared out of nowhere and rang the ancient bell.

The referees then realized that Xiao Yan's powerful attack had eliminated a large number of students, bringing the number of remaining students to the quota for entering the Inner Academy.

As soon as Hu Gan finished speaking, a deafening roar of cheers erupted across the square, causing the entire square to tremble.

Countless people stood up from the stands, looking at the black-robed youth on the dilapidated arena, their eyes filled with envy and awe.

Xiao Yan used his strength to announce to them who was the strongest in the Outer Academy of the Jia Nan Academy, and at the same time let them know that strength has no absolute relationship with age.

"Let's go, the competition is over. Now let's wait for the academy's next instructions." Looking at the students who had luckily survived, Xiao Yan smiled at Xiao Xun'er.

"Mm." Xun'er smiled and nodded. Under the watchful eyes of countless people, the two slowly walked out of the noisy square.

The grandest competition in the Outer Academy finally came to an end with the departure of the two players.

Three days later, Xiao Yan, Xiao Xun'er, and Lin Shuiyao went to the Library Pavilion of the Jia Nan Academy.

This is a reward for making it into the top five of the selection competition; it allows you to choose one item from the Library Pavilion.

The fact that the two guardians of the Jia Nan Academy could sit in front of the Library Pavilion speaks Library Pavilion about its importance to the Jia Nan Academy.

Xiao Yan was rather curious about what he could obtain from the Library Pavilion this time.

A flash of icy white light appeared in Xiao Yan's eyes; he had discovered two unusual features in the Library Pavilion.

Although the Qian and Bai Elders had almost merged with the surrounding space, they had not reached the Dou Zun Realm, and their aura control was not perfect. There was still a trace of temperature indicating the special nature of that space.

"They actually noticed something." The Qian and Bai Elders looked at Xiao Yan in surprise. At such a young age, he had obtained Heavenly Flames. His achievements would definitely surpass those of all the outstanding students in the Jia Nan Academy throughout history.

"Please trouble you two elders to unlock the Spatial Lock," Hu Gan in a fist salute to the Qian and Bai Elders.

"It's just a mission." The Qian and Bai Elders stretched out their two withered palms, and then slowly formed hand seals, one finger at a time.

As they formed hand seals, not only Xiao Yan but also the others could clearly feel two extremely powerful and invisible waves emanating from their palms like waves.

The invisible fluctuations gradually spread, finally coming into contact with the spatial folds. Upon contact, the space in front of Xiao Yan and the others rippled like a mirror made of water. After a moment, the ripples stopped, and a door-shaped structure was slowly torn open by an invisible hand.

Seeing that the Spatial Lock had been unlocked, Hu Gan warned Xiao Yan and the others, "Now you can enter the Library Pavilion on your own. But remember, everything inside has been coated with a special energy layer. No matter how much you can take, you can only take one thing out of the Library Pavilion."

"Let's go, Brother Xiao Yan." Xiao Xun'er took Xiao Yan's hand and led him into the invisible doorway.

Inside the Library Pavilion was an extremely spacious room. On the walls of the room were about a dozen energy shields, which were slowly emitting light, illuminating the room as if it were daytime.

Xiao Yan's eyes flashed with a deep white light as he scanned his surroundings.

Suddenly, a muffled thunderous sound echoed in the room.
