Battle Through the Heavens: Who put Laozi in my storage ring?

"And what about your legs?" Xiao Ning glanced at her older sister's long legs. "And you're Xiao Yanzi's cousin. Although the blood relation is almost ten degrees, those are advantages. How could an ordinary person possibly get even a fraction closer to him?"

"Then next time he wants a lap pillow, I'll let him?" Xiao Yu's pretty face flushed slightly, and she bit her red lips shyly as she spoke.

"..." Xiao Ning shrugged.

"Xiao Yanzi has so many women around him, the competition is fierce. If you're not interested, that's fine, but if you do like them, you should take the initiative..."

"Hmm." Xiao Yu nodded slightly, seemingly lost in thought.

"What are you talking about?"

A moment later, a handsome young man dressed in black appeared slowly on the tree branch, his hands behind his back, glancing at his two clansmen with a smile.

"Xiao Yanzi, what brings you here? Where's Xun'er?" Xiao Ning asked with some surprise, her eyes also showing some eagerness and trepidation.

As soon as Xiao Yan appeared, countless gazes drifted over, and even the two people fighting on the stone platform became distracted, their movements becoming somewhat distorted, as if they were nervous being watched by such a being.

This figure becomes the center of attention whenever he appears.

As a fellow disciple of the Xiao family, Xiao Yan's cousin naturally felt a sense of being a bully who was using the Xiao family's power.

"Xun'er has gone into seclusion."

Xiao Yan sat cross-legged on a tree branch with a smile, without any airs, chatting leisurely with Xiao Ning, just like the casual daily life between the two when they used to play around in the clan and were still brothers in Wutan City.

Seeing her own cultivation level skyrocket and Little Fairy Doctor breaking through to the Dou Wang realm, Xiao Xun'er's Dao heart became somewhat unstable. She stopped suppressing her cultivation and planned to try to break through to the Dou Wang realm in the next few days.

He was bored, so he came out to take a look.

There were also some disciples of the Xiao clan around.

Based on their past talents, they were naturally not worthy of entering Canaan Academy, but things are different now. With Xiao Yan, a seventh-grade alchemy master, refining various spiritual liquids and pills.

The cultivation levels of the younger generation of the Xiao family have increased dramatically, with more than a dozen joining at once last year.

This data will only increase in the future, since elixirs are also divided into grades.

Inferior pills can only forcibly boost your cultivation level, just like secret techniques. Like the secret technique that the Soul Hall used to forcibly boost the cultivation level of the Yunlan Sect in the original work. Although the cultivation level increases, it is as unstable as walking on clouds. Not to mention comparing with the strong people of the same level who have actually improved, even those who are several levels lower can only barely keep up.

Just as several (fake) fighting kings are needed to rival one real fighting king.

High-grade pills, however, are completely different.

While rapidly increasing your cultivation level, it does not affect your foundation. It can even subtly integrate the medicinal power into your body, amplifying and enhancing your talent.

Similar to the original story, he also consumed a lot of pills, yet he remained invincible within his own realm and could fight against opponents of higher levels. This is the difference between the quality of pills.

Therefore, the entire Xiao family became rich overnight and suddenly became wealthy, with outstanding disciples emerging one after another.

She is even several levels stronger than Xiao Yu and Xiao Ning in the past.

His potential as a fighting king and a fighting emperor is clearly visible to the naked eye.

Many people glanced at the Xiao family members surrounding Xiao Yan and their eyes were filled with envy, because they had only recently heard that his true identity was actually an alchemist.

If a family produces a prodigy, they will be envious, because as Xiao Yan's cultivation level increases, it can elevate the status of the entire family, and the rest of the family members will also rise in status.

But... this is a damn alchemist!!!

This means that the entire Xiao family will receive visible benefits and have no shortage of pills.

Even a little vixen like Hu Jia was drooling.

The strongest alchemists at Canaan Academy are only at the fifth rank. Even if she is the granddaughter of the vice dean of the outer academy, she would have to make an appointment for ten days to half a month to refine a single pill.

These members of the Xiao family were eating high-grade pills like they were beans.

No wonder Xiao Ning went from being an unknown student when he first enrolled to now having his cultivation level skyrocket to a one-star Great Dou Master, making him a top twenty on the list.

She even vaguely overheard her grandfather saying that the guy was at least a sixth-grade alchemy master!

It's important to understand that the difference between a Dou Wang (Battle King) and a sixth-grade alchemy master is like heaven and earth. Even she was starting to feel a little tempted. It's a pity that the guy's eyes were always on Xun'er, otherwise, she, the little demon girl from the outer courtyard, would also have considered competing with him.

"Cousin Xiao Yan."

Xiao Mei smiled radiantly and came over to greet her.

Having such a famous and powerful genius cousin within the clan brings pride and even a sense of reliance and arrogance to all members of the Xiao family.

"Mei'er has grown up so much..." Xiao Yan lay leisurely next to Xiao Ning, smiling as he looked at Xiao Mei'er.

"This girl is exceptionally beautiful; she has no shortage of suitors at Canaan Academy," Xiao Ning said with a wicked smile.

Xiao Yan nodded slightly, a hint of emotion flashing in his eyes.

One of the little girls who used to follow her around has now grown into a graceful young woman.

Xiao Meier looked slightly shy and nodded slightly.

Many people in the distance caught a glimpse of this scene and felt a pang of envy. This was the advantage of having a good elder brother. Nowadays, even the elders of the outer academy would not criticize the many disciples of the Xiao family, and would even be somewhat lenient towards them.

"But this woman... why do her legs seem even longer?" Xiao Yan glanced at Xiao Yu, who seemed lost in thought, and said strangely.

"Um...would you like to rest your head on my lap?"

Xiao Yu bit her red lips lightly, as if she had been mentally preparing herself for a long time, and then spoke directly.

Xiao Yan: "..."

Do I look like the kind of person who's lecherous?

Chapter 92 What is Fishing with Bombs? Gathering Initial Funds (Third Update)

The event concluded as scheduled.

Fifty disciples were selected, and the top five were qualified to enter the mysterious library to choose items. Xiao Yan casually picked a medicinal herb for refining a seventh-grade pill. For him, the only truly useful things in Canaan Academy were the Fallen Heart Flame of the inner courtyard and the vast underground lava world; the rest were just casually mentioned.

The open space in front of the academy.

More than forty disciples gathered together, chatting away.

As Xiao Yan and the other top five appeared, they all quieted down, revealing respectful, even awe-inspiring, expressions.

The top five are Xiao Yan, Xiao Xun'er, Xiao Yi Xian, Hu Jia, and Wu Hao. Bai Shan, who was originally a strong contender, was kicked out of the top five by Xiao Yi Xian.

Among the top fifty, the Xiao family also has two members, Xiao Yu and Xiao Ning.

The former was a peak Dou Shi who was selected by chance, while the latter was a Great Dou Shi, who was already among the top twenty in the outer academy.

"You still want to participate in the final assessment of the inner academy?" The griffin flapped its wings and flew, and Vice Dean Hu Qian raised an eyebrow, glancing at Xiao Yan in astonishment.

“I know the rules of the Inner Academy. That fire energy is quite important. Whether it’s for establishing a gang or doing business in the future, that stuff is hard currency.” Xiao Yan smiled and crossed his arms. “The opportunities to earn money after joining the Inner Academy are too few. Those guys probably won’t give me a chance to plunder. So, before joining the Inner Academy, I should collect some initial funds.”

"And Elder, my age and status meet the requirements for participating in this Fire Energy Competition, you cannot expel me."

"..."

Hu Qian's lips twitched, and he turned his head away.

This guy...

Although it might seem like bullying the weak, Xiao Yan was right. After joining the Inner Academy, fire energy was indeed a valuable commodity, as it affected the amount of time one could spend in the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower.

Even a genius of Xiao Yan's caliber would likely be quite interested in the miraculous cultivation-enhancing items like the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower.

And speaking of which... this guy is probably not even twenty years old yet, even younger than most of the outer court disciples present.

Gee tut.

"Alright, descend."

Hu Qian shook his head, silently mourning for the senior students who were still overjoyed but unaware of what they were about to face for three seconds. He waved his hand and said that the griffin slowed down and slowly sank into the lush dense forest. At the same time, countless magical beasts rushed out from it and attacked the griffin.

However, it was crushed into minced meat by the powerful energy released by the three elders, including Hu Qian.

Until they stepped into a silver barrier.

It was as if the world was spinning.

The moment he reappeared, Xiao Yan looked around and was quite amazed. After all, only a Dou Zun powerhouse could create something like a spatial barrier, which was indeed worthy of Canaan Academy.

Within the silver barrier.

Facing the two white-haired elders and dozens of young men and women behind them, all older than these outer court disciples, these were the senior students who had blocked their way. They all glanced at them with mocking eyes, especially at the faces of beauties such as Xiao Xun'er, Little Fairy Doctor, and Xiao Yu.

The leading male disciple grinned and said, "It seems this year's freshmen are of very high quality. The beauty list in the inner courtyard will have to be updated again."

"Shut up!"

The elderly man with white hair at the head of the group frowned slightly and shouted angrily.

"Such frivolous behavior sets a bad example for the outer disciples."

After saying that, he looked at Hu Qian and said with a smile, "Why are you a few days late this time? I thought something had happened in the outer courtyard."

"Hmm... I'm waiting for a female student to break through." Hu Qian's eyes were somewhat complicated.

Breakthrough to the King of Fighters...

"It's just a breakthrough, why delay the opportunity?"

The white-haired old man smiled and shook his head, his gaze sweeping over the disciples. But when it landed on one person, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he froze on the spot, staring at Hu Qian with a look of astonishment in his eyes: "Why is he also participating in this inner court assessment?"

"It shouldn't be 'protect'..."

“He insisted on participating, and he met all the requirements, so there was nothing I could do.” Hu Qian smiled bitterly and whispered in his ear, “He said he wanted to take some of the senior students’ fire energy, and that five days was too little for him as a freshman.”
