Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

After all, it doesn't sound good for senior students in the inner court to be used as whetstones by a group of newcomers. However, considering the terrifying speed of improvement of the opposing team, even he had to admit that their progress was too fast. From their clumsy cooperation at the beginning, it was clear that they had basically no experience in teamwork, but in such a short time, they actually defeated his team.

"But don't be too happy yet. The strength of our other teams is only average. The truly terrifying ones are the Black and White Duo team waiting for you at the end!"

Xiao Fan ignored his words, absorbed the fire energy from the black-clad man's fire crystal card, threw the fire energy back into their arms, and said indifferently, "Then let's wait and see!" He then exchanged a glance with Xiao Yan and the others and disappeared into the dense forest.

Since being trained by that team, Xiao Fan and the others have become more and more familiar with each other's teamwork and have been actively hunting down inner court teams in the forest. Soon, news spread that a team composed of outer court students was actively hunting down inner court teams.

"It must be Xiao Fan and his group!"

"It must be. Only their team has the strength to defeat the inner court students."

The inner court teams, upon hearing of the outer court students' hunting of their own, all expressed their anger and wanted to find Xiao Fan and the others to prove their authority. However, many more were probably driven by greed upon hearing about the enormous amount of fire energy possessed by Xiao Fan and his group.

After all, senior students are not allowed to plunder each other, and Xiao Fan and his group now possess the fire energy of several inner court teams, making these inner court students extremely envious.

However, regardless of the rumors circulating outside, Xiao Fan and his group still managed to defeat all the invading inner court teams thanks to their formidable strength and excellent teamwork. The fire energy of the five of them has now accumulated into a massive force.

Watching the inner courtyard team leave dejectedly, like defeated roosters, Xiao Fan stood alone atop a large tree, lost in thought.

"This is the fifth team." Hu Jia looked tired as she watched the inner court teams passing by below and said calmly.

This is the fifth inner court team they have hunted. Inner court students lose their qualification to continue hunting once their fire energy drops below ten, and they must leave this forest immediately. This is one of the reasons why news of Xiao Fan and his team's hunt was spread.

The fire energy of the five individuals is now enormous; each of them has absorbed the fire energy of at least five inner court students, and their current fire energy has long since exceeded one hundred.

"Of the remaining five inner court teams, excluding the so-called Black and White Duo, there are three left, which are difficult to find in this dense forest." Wu Hao said calmly, looking at Xiao Fan's back. The cooperation during this period had given Wu Hao a slight sense of respect for Xiao Fan. After all, Xiao Fan had displayed amazing combat power in several encirclements, which was why everyone was able to hunt so much fire energy.

"Aside from the Black and White Duo, we can't take any more of the fire energy from the remaining three teams." Xiao Fan didn't turn around, still looking in the direction the inner courtyard teams had left, and said calmly. "We already have too much fire energy. If we continue to consume it, not only will the senior students have objections, but even the remaining freshmen will probably feel resentful."

Everyone looked at Xiao Fan in surprise upon hearing this. "You mean, we're not going to fight?"

"No!" Xiao Fan shook his head, then turned to look at the people behind him. "After the lessons learned from the previous teams, the remaining three inner court teams will definitely be very careful. They might even have some connection with each other. If we encounter one of them, the others might come to hunt us down. We can't take them all."

"Then what do you mean..."

"Using the wolf to devour the tiger!" Xiao Fan smiled faintly.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xun'er's eyes flashed with surprise, as if she hadn't expected Xiao Fan to come up with such a method.

"For the remaining teams, we can team up with the freshmen to lay bait and lure them over. Then, with all the freshmen involved, we can take them down in one fell swoop. As for the firepower of these three teams, we'll save it for the freshmen who participate in the encirclement!"

"So that's how it is," Xiao Yan seemed to understand.

"In this way, we can not only help those freshmen regain their lost fire energy, but also be all in the same boat after entering the inner courtyard. Even if the senior students in the inner courtyard have opinions about us, we are all people who have taken the fire energy from the senior students, so there is no difference." As he spoke, Xiao Yan's tone became more and more cheerful, and it was clear that he was very excited.

"Moreover, doing this will not only bind the newborns to our ship, but those newborns will also not be jealous of our fire energy, but will only be grateful to us, because we not only let them retrieve the fire energy, but also gain something from it."

"Smart!" Xiao Fan nodded and said to everyone. "Next, let's find those new students, and together we can reclaim our fire energy!"

At the top of a tree somewhere in the forest, two old men sat cross-legged on a tree trunk, their faces beaming with undisguised joy.

"Haha, this is going to be interesting."

Chapter 122 Mutation

In the pitch-black forest, several disheveled outer disciples ran ahead, seemingly fleeing in a panic, but a hint of ruthlessness was secretly hidden in their eyes.

When they reached an open space, they seemed to have exhausted their fighting spirit and collapsed to the ground in a disheveled state.

"Keep running?"

A faint mocking voice came from behind. More than ten students wearing inner court badges emerged from the shadows behind them, looking at Ji Ren who had fallen to the ground with a mocking gaze.

The outer court disciples, who were originally in a sorry state, seemed to have heard nothing, and just leaned on the ground, laughing and watching the inner court team in front of them.

"Something's wrong!" Inside the courtyard, a man dressed in a green robe exclaimed in alarm, his expression changing drastically.

"Clap clap clap!"

A round of applause erupted from the woods. "As expected of disciples of the Alchemy Department, their spiritual perception is truly extraordinary." Xiao Fan emerged from the deep forest, followed by Xiao Yan and the others. As Xiao Fan and his group appeared, dozens of outer court disciples surrounded them from all directions. In an instant, the inner court group was surrounded by a large number of outer court disciples in the center.

Upon seeing so many outer court disciples, the expressions of the three inner court teams changed drastically. The three young men who appeared to be captains exchanged glances, realizing that only by joining forces could they have a chance to break through.

They hadn't expected that Xiao Fan and the others would be able to unite all the outer court disciples. After all, it wasn't that no one had tried to do this before, but those who could enter the inner court were all exceptional in strength and talent. It was practically impossible to unite this group of arrogant people, because no one with outstanding strength could make everyone obey.

Unbeknownst to them, Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan's strength in this year's competition had already won them over completely. Their battle on the arena had left many outer court disciples in awe. No one would refuse their lead in forming an alliance.

The three captains of the inner courtyard, including a young man with gray hair, laughed with the other two, saying, "Su Xiao, Xiu Yan, it seems we have to join forces."

The man called Su Xiao chuckled, a small dagger appearing in his hand. He smiled faintly, "Leng Bai, let's see just how powerful this year's top five freshmen really are!" As soon as he finished speaking, the three of them unhesitatingly revealed their six- or seven-star Great Dou Master strength. "The rest of you hold off the other freshmen, the three of us will go and fight them."

Seeing the commotion on the other side, Xiao Fan knew their plan. He then said calmly to the people behind him, "Xun'er, Hu Jia, you help the other freshmen block the attacks from the other seniors. Wu Hao, you are good at strength and speed, your opponent is Xiu Yan. Junior brother, you deal with Leng Bai. I will take care of Su Xiao."

Upon hearing this, no one objected. They each focused their attention on their opponents. They themselves did not realize that they had become accustomed to Xiao Fan's assignments. This shows that the subconscious is a very powerful thing.

"on!"

Xiao Fan waved his hand and shouted, and the Thousand Flame Spear appeared in his hand, rushing towards Su Xiao opposite him.

Su Xiao's weapon is a dagger. Although there is a saying that "an inch longer, an inch stronger; an inch shorter, an inch more dangerous," it must be said that Su Xiao's familiarity with the dagger is terrifying.

Even when facing Xiao Fan's spear, she was still able to use the advantage of her dagger to block Xiao Fan's attack in time.

"An eight-star Grand Dou Master! I really wonder when the outer academy has ever had a genius like you." Su Xiao seemed to be at ease, but in his heart he was shocked. After all, Xiao Fan's strength as an eight-star Grand Dou Master was considered a master even in the inner academy. He never expected that Xiao Fan was still a freshman in the outer academy.

This made Su Xiao wonder if something had happened there that she was unaware of since she hadn't been to the Foreign Languages ​​Department for several years.

The clash between the dagger and the Thousand Flame Spear was accompanied by a piercing, sharp metallic sound, and the collision of their fighting spirits unleashed astonishing power.

As for the battlefields of the others, they are also extremely fierce. After all, dozens of academy experts are fighting together on both sides, which is a very rare sight.

Many students from the outer academy watched in stunned silence, and then some shouted and joined the battle.

In another collision, Xiao Fan used the force of Su Xiao's recoil to get closer to Leng Bai, who was fighting Xiao Yan on the other side. After all, this was a battle, not a one-on-one match, and the goal was to win. At this moment, Leng Bai had his back to Xiao Fan and felt the fierce attack from behind. He tried to block it, but Xiao Yan in front of him did not give him a chance at all.

On the other side, Su Xiao noticed something was wrong when he saw Xiao Fan use the recoil to get close to Leng Bai. However, the tingling sensation in his hand made him wonder if this was a trap set by Xiao Fan. Before he could make a judgment, Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan had already joined forces to attack Leng Bai.

Su Xiao flashed forward, intending to join the battle, but Xun'er, who had been helping the freshmen fight off the inner court students, had somehow approached and blocked Su Xiao's path. Sensing Xun'er's aura, Su Xiao couldn't help but sigh inwardly. "What kind of monsters are these outer court students this year!"

With Xun'er blocking their attack, Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan quickly subdued Leng Bai. Xiao Fan swept his arm, sending Leng Bai flying and crashing into a tree trunk, where he fell unconscious. The two then exchanged a glance, and Xiao Yan joined Wu Hao's battle while Xiao Fan turned and attacked Su Xiao.

Upon seeing Xiao Fan return, Xun'er did not hesitate and immediately abandoned Su Xiao to attack the other inner court experts again.

"You guys are too insidious!" Su Xiao looked at Xiao Fan with a grim expression, her tone full of resentment. After all, it was her failure to stop her opponent that led to Leng Bai's defeat.

Xiao Fan smiled nonchalantly. "Actually, a one-on-one fight was inevitable anyway, but we want to save some energy to deal with the people who come later."

Because of Leng Bai's defeat, there were fewer strong people on the inner court side. Under the combined attack of Wu Hao and Xiao Yan, Xiu Yan quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.

"That's enough!" Xiao Fan looked at Su Xiao opposite him, seized the opportunity to deflect Su Xiao's dagger with his spear, used this opportunity to get closer to Su Xiao, and then elbowed Su Xiao in the chest.

"Baji collapse!"

Because his right hand was gripping a dagger, Xiao Fan lifted it up directly. Due to the immense force, Su Xiao was still somewhat unresponsive and could only use his left hand to block in front of his chest. However, he couldn't stop Xiao Fan's attack at all, and he didn't expect the hidden force of the Eight Extremes Collapse to cause him to spit out a mouthful of blood.

Xiao Fan turned around, his other hand gripping the spear, the tip of which pierced directly into Su Xiao's throat. Su Xiao could even feel the cold touch on his throat, and large beads of sweat streamed down his forehead.

"Su Xiao, Leng Bai, and Xiu Yan have already been defeated. Do you still want to fight?" Xiao Fan's voice, imbued with fighting spirit, echoed throughout the entire battlefield.

Upon hearing Xiao Fan's voice, everyone fell silent for a moment. Seeing the unconscious Leng Bai, Su Xiao controlled by the tip of Xiao Fan's spear, and Xiu Yan, who had already been defeated by Xiao Yan and Wu Hao, many inner court students were incredulous.

After a moment of silence, a voice filled with anger rang out.

"Beat them! Otherwise, if a group of inner court students are defeated by outer court students, let's see if you'll still have the face to call yourselves inner court students when you return!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a Grand Master from the Inner Court attacked the freshmen on the other side again. Inspired by him, the other Inner Court students also started fighting again. He was right; they couldn't admit defeat, otherwise, what would others think of them when they returned to the Inner Court?

After glancing at the crowd who had fought back with bloodshot eyes, Xiao Fan sighed helplessly. He swept his spear across the battlefield, knocking Su Xiao unconscious and causing him to follow in Leng Bai's footsteps. Then, he picked up his spear again and rejoined the battle.

On the other side, Xiao Yan and Wu Hao followed suit, knocking Xiu Yan unconscious and attacking the inner courtyard students again. With their superior strength, they quickly overwhelmed the inner courtyard students, ending the battle.

Just when everyone thought the battle was over and relaxed, five powerful figures emerged from the other side.

"Wow! Not bad!"

Chapter 123 Battle Against the Black Demon

At the top of an unnamed tree, two aged figures were conversing.

"That kid Xiao Fan is pretty good. He's capable, resourceful, and knows how to drag others down with him."

"What a pity, look over there, those five kids are coming."

"Hey! No wonder they're from the arena, their sense of smell is so sharp. I bet they'll get all the benefits next."

......

"Wow! Not bad!"

The moment the sound came, the excited freshmen's mood plummeted.

The three teams of inner court students had already been defeated, and everyone thought that they could now collect fire energy. In this way, not only could the lost fire energy be replenished, but they could even obtain more fire energy.

But to their utter surprise, other teams arrived just as the battle ended. Moreover, judging from their strength, they far surpassed the three teams from before.

In the dead silence, five figures emerged from the darkness.

The five people, dressed in tight-fitting black clothes, stood in the shadows like five dark shadows.

Xiao Fan frowned, a golden light flashing in his eyes. The strength of the five people was immediately revealed to him. "Peak Great Dou Master!" The leader was a peak Great Dou Master, and the others were all six or seven-star Great Dou Masters.

"Sand Iron!"

One of the inner courtyard students saw the five people appear and exclaimed in surprise. The one called Sha Tie was the leader of the five men in black, and he seemed to be their captain. He turned his head and glanced at the inner courtyard student who had exclaimed in surprise, and asked in astonishment, "Where is your captain?" Then, before he could speak, he saw Su Xiao and the others who were still dizzy and had not yet woken up. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Hahaha, Su Xiao, Su Xiao, I never thought you'd actually lose to a bunch of outer court students, and even get knocked unconscious, hahaha..."

Sha Tie laughed for a while, then looked at Xiao Fan.
