Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

Hearing Yao Lao's words, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness. "Then let's deal with the Xiao family's affairs first. After I've finished dealing with things here, I'll immediately head to Canaan Academy."

After regaining their senses, they thanked Han Jue and began discussing the plan to rebuild the Xiao family. Han Jue, seeing that the Xiao family's troubles were almost resolved and that he had delivered his message, led the Iron Cavalry Mercenary Group to bid farewell to the Xiao family.

Before leaving, he explained to Xiao Yan that Mo City was his territory. Xiao Yan then introduced the situation of Mo City and gave Han Jue a letter, saying that they could strengthen their ties. Han Jue did not refuse.

After watching Han Jue and his group leave, Xiao Yan, persuaded by the First Elder, officially accepted the position of Young Clan Leader and led the Xiao Clan to rebuild the Xiao Clan's power.

Chapter 99 Challenging Baishan

Xiao Fan's days at the academy have been very simple lately. Every morning he goes to the Martial Arts Pavilion to hone his fighting skills, and in the afternoon he hides in the alchemy room to practice his alchemy techniques. Now Xiao Fan has basically mastered the fourth-grade pills, and next he is preparing to break through to the fifth-grade pills.

The only thing that made Xiao Fan unhappy was Bai Shan.

Every now and then, one or two students would be arranged to embarrass him under the guise of a "challenge." Xiao Fan ignored them, but they kept hanging around him. Due to the academy's rules, there were many situations where Xiao Fan couldn't discipline them.

Here we go again.

Looking at the two students blocking his way, one was a seven-star Dou Shi and the other a nine-star Dou Shi. Their strength was considered quite good even among the outer academy students, but they were truly no match for Xiao Fan.

"Tell me, do you even know what kind of strength I have? Yet you keep bothering me every day?" Xiao Fan stared at the two people in front of him and said calmly. "I didn't want to pay any attention to you, but you just had to come and provoke me."

Xiao Fan was already a little irritable because of the memory problems in his room. He had finally calmed down by immersing himself in cultivation, but these people kept bothering him, which annoyed him to no end.

So this time, Xiao Fan didn't avoid them, but stood in front of them and asked.

Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, the two exchanged a glance. In their view, with their strength approaching that of a Great Dou Master, they could put up a fight even if they encountered one. Moreover, Xiao Fan had never displayed his strength in the academy, and he had always avoided their provocations. This made them even more convinced that Xiao Fan was just a show-off.

"I don't know, but we'd still love to spar with you." The slightly shorter student smiled at Xiao Fan.

Just as Xiao Fan was about to say something, the system's voice suddenly rang in his mind.

"Ding! System upgrade complete, new task triggered."

"Defeat Baishan, mission reward: 100 Battle Qi Points, 1000 Source Coins. Mission failure: -100 Battle Qi Points, -1000 Source Coins."

Hearing the voice in his mind, Xiao Fan curiously checked and found that the system had been restored again. However, the newly triggered tasks had changed to a "accepted" status, which meant that Xiao Fan would have no choice in future tasks. Once triggered, they would all become "forced to accept".

However, the reward for defeating Bai Shan was quite generous. During this period, he had been cultivating fighting skills and refining pills, and his fighting spirit value had only increased by a little over ten points. But as long as he defeated Bai Shan, he could increase his cultivation by one star, which made Xiao Fan feel a sense of gratitude towards Bai Shan.

After putting away the panel and looking at the two students in front of him, Xiao Fan's desire to communicate with them diminished greatly. Now, Xiao Fan's mind was only on Bai Shan.

His strength as a five-star Grand Master was on full display, putting immense pressure on the two students opposite him.

Xiao Fan patted them on the shoulder and said, "I know Bai Shan sent you. Go back and tell Bai Shan that I'll be waiting for him at the training ground this afternoon."

After saying that, he ignored the two people's shocked gazes and walked straight into the Arena. After all, there was still half a day until the afternoon, and Xiao Fan didn't want to waste that half-day opportunity.

Not long after Xiao Fan entered the Martial Arts Pavilion, news of his challenge to Bai Shan spread throughout the entire outer academy. No one could believe that Xiao Fan, a newcomer who had just entered the academy, would dare to challenge Bai Shan.

"Huh? Someone's challenging Bai Shan? Xiao Fan? Isn't that what happened at Xun'er's place a couple of days ago? Never mind, I'm going to find Xun'er." In a secluded courtyard, a mischievous girl heard the news and left with a sly smile on her face.

"Heh! This afternoon? Interesting." Bai Shan glanced indifferently at the two people standing in front of him, the two students who had been harassing Xiao Fan earlier. He waved his hand, dismissing them. Only after the two had disappeared did the smile vanish from Bai Shan's face, replaced by a sinister expression.

Many people in the academy heard about the battle and planned to go to the training ground to watch, which made the sparsely populated training ground crowded. Some instructors also heard about the incident from their students and became curious about this specially invited student from Canaan Academy.

In a spacious office in the Foreign Languages ​​Department's office building, an elderly man with gray hair looked at the file in his hand. "Xiao Fan, eighteen years old, fire attribute cultivator..." Below Xiao Fan's photo in the file, a red stamp was affixed, the stamp of a specially invited student of Canaan Academy.

What was originally an ordinary fight between students has now attracted the attention of everyone in the college.

When Xiao Fan came out of the Martial Arts Pavilion, it was already afternoon. He slowly made his way to the martial arts arena. Along the way, he encountered many students heading there. When he arrived at the martial arts arena, it was packed with people. He thought that something big had happened that he didn't know about.

Upon seeing Bai Shan's smile, Xiao Fan realized that Bai Shan must have deliberately spread this to defeat him in public, increase his popularity, or perhaps give a warning to others who dared to approach Xiao Xun'er.

Xiao Fan shook his head helplessly. He hadn't offended anyone. Besides, Xun'er liked Xiao Yan. If it weren't for the system's reward, Xiao Fan might not have paid any attention to Bai Shan.

Upon seeing Xiao Fan appear, some girls in the surrounding audience exclaimed in surprise, "Xiao Fan, ah, Xiao Fan is so handsome!"

"From today onwards, I am Xiao Fan's girlfriend. Who agrees and who disagrees?"

......

Stepping onto the stage, Xiao Fan ignored the shouts around him and calmly looked at Baishan across the way.

"Baishan, come on."

Bai Shan walked onto the platform with a smile, his smile still faint. "Junior Brother Xiao Fan, I didn't expect you to challenge me. Actually, we didn't need to do this."

Upon hearing Bai Shan's words, Xiao Fan was at a loss for words. He hadn't expected Bai Shan to be such a good actor.

"Idiot!" Xiao Fan cursed at Bai Shan across from him. Seeing Bai Shan's face darken, Xiao Fan nodded in satisfaction. "That's right, that's more comfortable to look at. That forced smile, how disgusting."

"Since you won't listen to reason, then don't blame me." Bai Shan's smile vanished, and he said coldly to Xiao Fan. Now that things had come to a head, he wouldn't pretend anymore in front of Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan did not respond to Bai Shan's provocations again, and gave him the best answer with his actions.

He beckoned to Baishan with his index finger, glanced at Baishan sideways, as if to say something.

"Come here!"

Chapter 100 Defeat Baishan

In a corner of the stands, a mischievous girl was arm-in-arm with Xiao Xun'er, her eyes full of laughter. "Xun'er, who do you think will win?"

Xun'er glanced at the hand that was linked with hers, and the girl would deliberately touch her from time to time. Xun'er's cheeks flushed slightly. She glared at her, and only after seeing that the girl relaxed a bit did she say, "Bai Shan can't win." Although there was no evidence, Xiao Xun'er felt that Xiao Fan should win.

"Oh?" The girl's eyes darted around. "Xun'er actually thinks so highly of him?" As she spoke, she turned her gaze to Xiao Fan, as if she wanted to see what was so special about him.

All eyes were on Xiao Fan and Bai Shan.

With the signal from the martial arts instructor, the duel between the two officially began.

Bai Shan looked at Xiao Fan in front of him and said calmly, "This time, I'm going to teach you a lesson."

Xiao Fan glanced at him without saying a word, and with a flick of his wrist, the Thousand Flame Spear appeared in Xiao Fan's hand.

Wow! Xiao Fan looks so cool wielding that spear!

"I'm so excited! Have you guys forgotten? Bai Shan's weapons are also spears!"

When Bai Shan saw the spear that appeared in Xiao Fan's hand, a look of surprise appeared on his face. He then sneered, "Hmph, you dare to use a spear in front of me? Let me teach you a lesson!" As he spoke, a silver-white spear appeared in Bai Shan's hand.

Xiao Fan narrowed his eyes. He hadn't expected Bai Shan's weapon to be a spear, but so what? After being nurtured by the system's knowledge, Xiao Fan feared no one when it came to mastering the spear.

One was a fire-attribute fighter, and the other a lightning-attribute fighter. Red and purple lights flashed continuously on the training ground, and the sharp clash of spears could be heard from time to time.

boom!

The fighting spirit emanating from the spears collided and exploded in mid-air, while the two figures continued their charge in an instant. Bai Shan raised his spear and thrust it straight at Xiao Fan. At the last moment, Xiao Fan lightly deflected Bai Shan's attack with his own spear. Without pausing, as they brushed past each other, their other hands simultaneously struck each other's bodies.

After their previous exchange, Bai Shan, panting, looked at Xiao Fan, who appeared relaxed on the other side. He had long since suppressed his disdain, but still said defiantly, "Hmph, that's enough."

Xiao Fan glanced at Bai Shan opposite him but didn't speak. Neither of them had used any special fighting techniques in their exchange. It was merely a curious contest of spear skills, born out of curiosity to encounter an opponent who also wielded a spear.

Ordinary students only see the two fighting, but they can't understand the specific details.

The woman in the red dress, who was holding Xiao Xun'er's arm, turned to look at Xun'er. "Xun'er, not bad. Just based on that simple exchange of marksmanship, Xiao Fan's marksmanship seems to be even more advanced than Bai Shan's."

Xun'er glanced at the woman in the red dress beside her and said helplessly, "Hu Jia, you can say whatever you want, but don't try to take advantage of me, or you can forget about getting close to me next time."

The one holding Xun'er's arm was Hu Jia, who pouted. "I don't know what's so good about those stinky men that makes you miss your Xiao Yan brother so much. If you ask me, isn't it good that we're together?"

Hu Jia is the granddaughter of Hu Qian, the vice dean of the outer academy of Canaan Academy. Despite having a stunningly beautiful face and a hot figure, she dislikes men and only likes Xiao Xun'er, wanting to "possess" Xun'er as her own, which makes Hu Qian feel helpless.

Xiao Xun'er glanced at Hu Jia and said indifferently, "That's because you haven't met someone you like yet." There was a hint of smugness in her tone.

Hu Jia glanced at Xiao Xun'er, then leaned close to her ear and said, "You're talking as if you and your brother Xiao Yan have something going on." This made Xiao Xun'er blush even more.

Just as the two were talking, Bai Shan and Xiao Fan were preparing to unleash their ultimate move.

The spear in Bai Shan's hand spun around his waist, emanating faint lightning. As Bai Shan swung it, it coiled into a huge ball of lightning, enveloping him, with tentacles of lightning radiating from it.

Bai Shan stopped his hand gesture, and the spear instantly froze, its tip pointing directly at Xiao Fan. The original silver-white spear now seemed to have transformed into a thunderous spear. Bai Shan raised it above his head, ready to strike.

Sensing the extraordinary nature of Bai Shan's attack, Xiao Fan circulated the flames within his body, transforming them into the azure Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, which he poured into the Thousand Flame Spear. The patterns on the spear instantly emitted azure light, and immense pressure emanated from the spear.

"Thunderous Arc Explosion!"

"A crane's shadow in the clouds!"

With their roars, blinding white lightning erupted from the location of White Mountain. Under the watchful eyes of countless people, a bolt of white lightning, over ten feet thick, slashed furiously towards Xiao Fan. As Xiao Yan's spear tip danced, a blue crane flew out from within it.

"Wow!"

The blue crane flapped its wings and plunged headlong into the silvery-white lightning.

"boom!"

A violent explosion rang out from the training ground, and under everyone's gaze, the azure crane broke through the barrier of the silver lightning, directly shattering the lightning. However, the crane's body also dissipated slightly, but still carried some power as it struck Bai Shan's shield.

Click~ Click~

Under the watchful eyes of the entire audience, the thunderous sphere shield surrounding Bai Shan gradually cracked upon contact with Qing He, and then shattered amidst Bai Shan's roar and resentment.

The Azure Crane erupted the instant the White Mountain Shield shattered, unleashing a powerful shockwave that spread outwards before being absorbed by the array surrounding the training ground.

"This...this power is terrifying!"

"Without the barrier of the formation, we definitely wouldn't have been able to stop it."

The audience members sitting in the front row said with lingering fear.

"What about Baishan? How is Baishan doing?"

Amidst the chaotic arguing of the crowd, the scene slowly came into view. Bai Shan's original white robe had long since been shattered by the impact of the explosion, reduced to strips of cloth hanging from his body. His once neat hair was now slightly curled from the intense heat, and his body bore numerous lacerations from the explosion, making him look utterly wretched.

The only commendable thing was that he used his spear to support his body, forcing himself not to fall. In contrast, Xiao Fan stood calmly in place, his clothes, apart from being slightly disheveled at the beginning, were not in a bad state. Looking at the disheveled Baishan in the distance, Xiao Fan spoke calmly.

"you lose."
