Xiao Yan, the Envy of Everyone
After winning the Inner Academy Selection Tournament, Xiao Yan and his companions were in very good spirits.
Because they all received very nice prizes afterward.
Xiao Yan, for example, obtained a High Xuan Tier Soul Dou Technique - Lion-Tiger Shattering Gold Chant.
It should be noted that although Xiao Yan received the Earth-Rank High-Grade Soul Dou Technique, Three Transformations of the Returning Soul, secretly sponsored by Xiao Lin at the Alchemist Grand Tournament...
However, given Xiao Yan's current cultivation level, he hasn't even reached the first stage of the Three Transformations of the Returning Soul, the Soul Refining Realm, so it's impossible for him to comprehend his own Soul Dou Technique from it.
At present, Xiao Yan has at most mastered some skills in using the soul through the Three Transformations of the Returning Soul.
If Xiao Yan wants to truly reach the first stage of the Three Transformations of the Returning Soul, he would need to possess at least the Soul Power of the Mortal Realm Peak.
Xiao Yan's current soul realm is still a bit far from the Late Mortal Realm.
Therefore, he could only guard the treasure mountain, unable to use it.
Now that he has obtained a High Xuan Tier Soul Dou Technique, he is naturally overjoyed!
Furthermore, those like Xiao Yan who performed exceptionally well in the Inner Academy Selection Tournament naturally obtained even more Fire Energy.
Fire Energy, on the other hand, is an essential commodity for the Inner Academy, a form of hard currency!
Whether it's cultivating in the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, exchanging for various Cultivation Method, Dou Technique, or Medicinal Pill, Fire Energy is essential.
It can be said that no student who enters the Inner Academy would complain about having too little Fire Energy.
No, it should be said that even most of the Elder of the Jia Nan Academy need to use Fire Energy!
After receiving their reward, the group stayed in the Outer Academy for three more days before finally being led into the Inner Academy.
It's a clear, sunny day!
The fifty students who qualified for this year's Inner Academy had already gathered in the open space.
Xiao Yan, Xun'er, Nalan Yanran, and Xiao Yu were also among them.
Meanwhile, the open space was surrounded by many other students.
In the hearts of all the students in the Outer Academy, being able to enter the Inner Academy for cultivation is an extremely coveted honor. Countless people strive towards this goal from the moment they enter the academy.
Therefore, every year when the students who pass the selection competition enter the Inner Academy, many people come to see them off and watch.
Meanwhile, laughter and cheers echoed across the open space.
Xiao Yan and his three companions were saying goodbye to Xiao Ning and Xiao Mei.
"Cousin Xiao Ning, Cousin Xiao Mei, you two keep up the good work! We'll be waiting for you in the Inner Academy!"
Seeing the envy in their eyes, Xiao Yan smiled and encouraged them.
"Yes, I will participate in the Inner Academy Selection Tournament next year!"
With his fists clenched, Xiao Ning appeared full of confidence.
If Xiao Yan and the others had Jia Nan Academy first, Xiao Ning wouldn't have needed to continue training in the Outer Academy for another year.
With acquaintances in the Inner Academy looking after them, there's no need to worry about being bullied by upperclassmen.
"Yes, yes, I will definitely try my best!"
Xiao Mei nodded her little head and spoke very seriously.
Not long after Xiao Yan and his companions bid farewell to Xiao Ning and Xiao Mei, Hu Gan, the vice dean who was now the de facto administrator of the Outer Academy of the Jia Nan Academy, appeared in everyone's sight.
Hu Gan's gaze slowly swept over the fifty trainees in the open space. After confirming that none were absent, he nodded in satisfaction.
"Dear students, today is the day you enter the Inner Academy. I would like to congratulate you on your long-term efforts, which have finally paid off."
I believe that after entering the Inner Academy, you may find the cultivation methods there difficult to adapt to. However, I am certain of one thing: you will be able to unleash your full potential there.
Haha, I'm not exaggerating, but if you spend a year in the Inner Academy, you will undergo a complete transformation. Some of you may even know other students in the Inner Academy, since they occasionally come Inner Academy during holidays.
Therefore, you should understand how huge the difference is between the trainees who come out of there and those who entered before!
Hu Gan's voice resonated in the ears of every student.
Upon hearing Hu Gan's words, a few students in the room nodded slightly. Clearly, they were those who had interacted with the students from the Inner Academy.
After a brief pause, Hu Gan spoke again, "The Inner Academy is the core location of the Jia Nan Academy. Due to its secrecy, most students in the Outer Academy, including their instructors, do not know its exact location. Therefore, we will take you to a certain place."
Just as Hu Gan speaking, ten dark figures were flying towards them from the distant blue sky. After a moment, the figures gradually grew larger, revealing themselves to be ten enormous Griffin Beast.
Ten Griffin Beast swept across the academy, casting huge shadows, and finally stopped above Xiao Yan and the others. With a flap of their wings, a gale surged, making some of the students below lose their footing.
"Griffin Beast? Is the Inner Academy really that far from here?"
Upon seeing these Griffin Beasts, a hint of surprise flashed through Xiao Yan's mind.
In fact, as Hu Gan said, there is actually a distance between the Inner Academy and the Outer Academy.
This distance might not be considered far for powerful individuals above the Dou Wang level who possess the ability to fly.
But for those below the Dou Wang level, it's not so easy.
Because the Inner Academy and the Outer Academy are separated by a forest.
Walking would obviously take a lot of time.
Just as Xiao Yan was pondering, Hu Gan waved to the Griffin Beast in the sky.
Immediately, shadows loomed over the ground, and finally, amidst the howling wind, the ten Griffin Beast stopped not far from the open space. A quick glance revealed that each Griffin Beast was being ridden by two people on its back.
"Alright, time's up. Everyone, go up in groups of five."
Seeing the Griffin Beast descend, Hu Gan pointed and said with a smile.
Upon hearing Hu Gan's voice, the others did not hesitate and leaped onto the Griffin Beast's back.
As for the last person to follow them onto this Griffin Beast, it was Hu Jia, the granddaughter of Hu Gan, the vice dean of the Outer Academy Vice President.
However, when he saw Hu Gan following their Griffin Beast, Xiao Yan looked very wary!
Why would you ask?
But then someone spoke up!
It's not that Hu Jia harbors any hostility towards Xiao Yan and the other three, but rather that this woman has an abnormal sexual orientation!
And the person she's eyeing is Xiao Xun'er...
From the moment Xiao Yan and his two companions entered the academy, Hu Jia was immediately awestruck upon seeing Xun'er!
During the three months Xiao Yan stayed in the Outer Academy, Hu Jia's most frequent activity was trying to abduct Xun'er...
Given this situation, how could Xiao Yan not be wary of her?
Of course, besides that, Hu Jia was also one of the friends Xiao Yan made during his time in the Outer Academy.
Therefore, Xiao Yan felt both helpless and wary of Hu Jia.
On the contrary, Xun'er, the person involved, found Hu Jia quite interesting.
Don't get me wrong, Xun'er isn't sexually abnormal; she simply finds Hu Jia interesting, that's all!
Meanwhile, the other students around them were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred when they saw Xiao Yan riding a Griffin Beast with four beauties!
At this moment, they truly wished they could replace Xiao Yan and stay by the four women's side!
Despite the intense gazes around him, Xiao Yan remained calm and composed, showing no discomfort whatsoever.
And so, led by the Griffin Beast, the group flew towards the Inner Academy.
