Inner Academy Selection

Several days later, Xiao Yan, who was cultivating the Flame Mantra and Fused Heavenly Flame, did not mention it to anyone, so naturally it did not cause any great uproar in the Outer Academy.

After finishing his studies on the basic information of the Dou Qi Continent as usual, Xiao Yan went to cultivate in his small herb garden at the Jia Nan Academy.

Having directly advanced the Flame Mantra to the Quasi-Earth Tier Intermediate, Xiao Yan felt that in a few more days he would be able to advance to Four-Star Dou Shi, which made him secretly decide to participate in this Inner Academy Selection Tournament.

The so-called Inner Academy Selection Tournament, as the name suggests, is a selection competition for entering the Inner Academy of the Jia Nan Academy, and it is also a major event for the Outer Academy of the Jia Nan Academy.

The selection competition will feature prominent figures from the academy, which is undoubtedly a huge attraction for male and female students who idolize and admire these individuals.

Xiao Yan wasn't looking to show off; rather, entering the Inner Academy would allow him to enjoy the accelerated cultivation effect of the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower.

However, through the simulation, Xiao Yan also realized that the competition in the Inner Academy was extremely fierce, far surpassing that of the Outer Academy.

Moreover, to truly experience the benefits of the Inner Academy, the selection process is merely a basic introduction.

Once inside the Inner Academy, only those with sufficient Fire Energy can thrive.

However, whether it's the Fire Energy Hunting Tournament after the selection or the competition between forces spontaneously organized by the Inner Academy students, obtaining enough Fire Energy for cultivation has become quite difficult.

Jia Nan Academy believes that human potential will not be fully unleashed without facing adversity, and what it needs to do is to push this suppression to its limit.

When suppression reaches its limit, there will always be some students who completely unleash their potential and catch up with previously uncontrollable powerhouses at an incredible speed.

This kind of thing has happened almost every year since the academy was founded.

Xiao Yan couldn't say whether this extreme repression was good or bad, but if one was just an ordinary Dou Shi, it would be difficult to pass the selection to enter the Inner Academy. Once in the Inner Academy, if one couldn't control their Fire Energy, it might be better to hone their strength in the Outer Academy.

With the Bone Spirit Cold Flame in his hand, Xiao Yan's Dou Technique are almost at the Earth Tier, which gives him a chance to compete.

Just as Xiao Yan finished his cultivation and was preparing to go home for dinner, a black dot suddenly appeared in the sky, shooting towards him at high speed like a meteor.

Xiao Yan frowned and suddenly took two large steps back.

Just then, with a clang, the earth trembled violently, and a huge, pitch-black cauldron appeared in Xiao Yan's sight.

The black dot turned out to be an antique and exquisite medicine cauldron, which looked quite remarkable.

Not long after, Xiao Yan saw Medicine Elder's illusory figure. Compared to a few days ago, it seemed even more ethereal, as if a gust of wind could blow it away.

"These are some basic common sense tips for Alchemist, along with two volumes of low-level medicine recipes. Take a look for yourself."

Medicine Elder said weakly, tossed a few scrolls to Xiao Yan, and then disappeared into the air, causing the ring he was inhabiting to slowly fall to the ground.

Xiao Yan caught five or six scrolls at random, glanced at the ring lying on the grass, let out a long sigh of relief, and a bead of cold sweat rolled down his forehead. This had really startled him.

He thought the Medicine Elder was going to smash him to death with a medicine cauldron, causing an accident so he could find someone else to revive him.

Xiao Yan casually put the items into his Storage Ring, not paying much attention to anything related to alchemy, and turned to walk towards his residence.

From the simulation, Xiao Yan clearly understood his talent in alchemy; while it couldn't be described as unparalleled, it was definitely at a terrifying level.

In just a few years, without neglecting his cultivation of Dou Qi, he was able to reach the Seventh-Rank Alchemist. This is something that cannot be achieved simply by having a good teacher.

While the Medicine Elder was indeed considerable, it was impossible to turn a fool into a high-level Alchemist in a short period of time.

Right now, Xiao Yan's mind is entirely focused on the Inner Academy Selection Tournament that will be held in a few days.

Before resting, Medicine Elder noticed Xiao Yan's calm demeanor.

Although it was somewhat surprising that some people weren't curious about alchemy, they didn't offer any pointers to Xiao Yan.

If becoming Alchemist were as simple as reading some books, then Alchemist wouldn't have the status they have today.

However, he has already begun teaching Xiao Yan alchemy; how far he can progress depends on his comprehension.

Since he couldn't really improve, Jia Nan Academy couldn't say much more to him.

With that thought in mind, the Medicine Elder immediately began to rest.

Although the two old men Qian and Bai Elders Jia Nan Academy produced a decent medicine cauldron, the price they paid was considerable.

Seven days later, at the Jia Nan Academy's enormous plaza, which resembled an arena, countless Jia Nan Academy students scrambled for their seats.

Looking out from the stands, all you could see was a sea of black heads and a deafening roar that seemed to reach the heavens.

Thump!

After the commotion in the square lasted for about half an hour, a deep bell rang out and echoed throughout the square.

As the bell rang, countless eyes turned to the center of the stands in the distance, to the seat with the best view. Four elderly men with white hair and beards slowly appeared, one of whom was Hu Gan, who was in charge of the Outer Academy.

Apart from Hu Gan, the other three are highly respected elders in the Outer Academy and leaders of the Alchemy Department, which is independent of the Outer Academy and Inner Academy courts, and they oversee a large number of Alchemist.

Because of the special status of Alchemist on the continent, almost no one at the Jia Nan Academy could interfere in their affairs.

"I'm sure your mentors have explained the rules countless times, so I won't go into detail here. The selection competition is about to begin," Hu Gan crisply.

Soon, two names were called out from a referee's stand in the square.

"Yellow Tier, Mu Rong Han!"

"Yellow Tier Class Two, Xiao Yan!"

Upon hearing the roll call, a figure who was already prepared darted out from the stands and landed steadily on the field.

Mu Rong Han was definitely a prominent figure in the academy. Not only was he extremely skilled in manipulating ice-attribute Dou Qi, but he was also very handsome, possessing a delicate beauty that could easily attract the attention of young girls.

Therefore, as soon as they stepped onto the field, screams erupted from the stands.

However, upon seeing Mu Rong Han's opponent's hand, the screams abruptly ceased, and everyone was somewhat dumbfounded.

With so many students at the Jia Nan Academy, it wouldn't be strange if there were someone with the same name. But when it comes to the genius Xiao Yan, there's only one.

However, this genius seemed to be somewhat unaware of his own limitations, wanting to participate in the selection competition to enter the Inner Academy at the age of six or seven.

Are they handing out wins?

Perhaps if I were to train in the Outer Academy for another year or two, there might be some chance.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Xiao Yan remained extremely calm as he walked step by step onto the arena, seemingly without any real strength.
