Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, I am your second master

"Well, Old Man Su, how about my disciple joins your Canaan Academy?" Old Man Wang asked Su Qian.

"Excellent! That's wonderful! I haven't been particularly satisfied with the quality of the students in recent years. They're neither the best nor the worst, with only a handful being quite good. It'll be good to have this young man give them a little pointers!"

Su Qian was naturally extremely happy to receive a gifted student.

"Then let's proceed with the enrollment procedures, Old Su. I remember that there's one chance to enter the library when you're admitted from the outer academy to the inner academy. You must save this opportunity for Li'er," Old Wang said with a grin.

The library of Canaan Academy is filled with treasures, all collected by Dean Mang Tianchi, a Dou Zun powerhouse.

For example, the Earth-rank cultivation techniques and combat skills that are highly sought after outside are not lacking at Canaan Academy. The library has all kinds of cultivation techniques, combat skills, medicinal herbs, and pill formulas.

"Hehe, old man Wang, if you want to enter the library, you have to complete the outer academy selection competition first. Only those who reach the top five are qualified. Of course, with the little guy's strength, it shouldn't be a problem."

Su Qian stroked his beard and said.

"Li'er, why don't you go to the outer courtyard to register first? I'll be waiting for you in the inner courtyard," Old Wang said with a smile, patting Xiao Li's head.

"No problem, let me see the geniuses of Canaan Academy." Xiao Li clenched his fists, already impatient.

"Then, Elder, I'll take this little genius to the outer academy to report for duty," Wu Tianlang said with a smile. It was naturally a good thing that Canaan Academy had such a genius.

"Well, Sirius, take our newly recruited little genius to school," Su Qian said with a smile, stroking his beard.

Wu Tianlang then led Xiao Li to the outer courtyard, while Su Qian led Elder Wang directly to the inner courtyard.

"Old Wang, is that little fellow your new disciple? He must be an alchemist too," Su Qian asked.

"Of course, Old Su, guess what rank my disciple is now?" Old Wang had always been very satisfied with Xiao Li.

"Oh? Let me guess, he must already be a fourth-grade alchemist, right? With his cultivation level of Dou Ling, refining fourth-grade pills shouldn't be a problem for him," Elder Su Qian said with a smile.

"Hehe, you guessed wrong! My disciple is already a fifth-grade alchemist! He can already refine fifth-grade pills, Spirit Ascension Pills," Old Wang said proudly.

"Fifth grade! He can even refine Spirit Ascension Pills? Even our academy's Old Man Huo doesn't have a high success rate in refining Spirit Ascension Pills. Is this kid that amazing?" Su Qian exclaimed in surprise.

"Don't you even know who taught your disciple! Alright, old man, arrange an honorary elder position for me. I want to research some things and refine a couple of pills while I'm at it." Old Wang waved his hand and said.

the other side,

"Teacher, where are we going now?" Xiao Li asked the middle-aged man with a fierce face.

"I'm not a teacher, I'm the deputy commander of the Canaan Academy's enforcement team. My surname is Wu, you can just call me Commander Wu," Wu Tianlang said with a smile. "We'll go to the dean of the outer academy to process your enrollment."

"Got it!"

Half a day later,

"Phew~ It's finally over. There's about a month left before the Inner Academy Selection Competition. In a month, it's unlikely that I can improve by another star. Hmmm, let's start making medicine."

Since breaking through to the Dou Ling realm, I haven't had a chance to immerse myself in alchemy. I can't slack off on alchemy; it's my livelihood.

Xiao Li went straight to his dormitory and began his month-long alchemy practice.

. . . . . .

One month later,

dong dong——

dong dong dong-

"Who is it!"

"Xiao Li! Today is the Inner Academy selection competition! Have you forgotten?!"

Hu Qian, the vice dean of the outer academy, was originally presiding over the inner academy selection competition when he realized that the little guy he had met a month ago was not in the team, so he came over.

"Open the door! What are you doing, you brat? I'm breaking in!"

bang——

Hu Qian kicked the door open. When he saw the room, he found that the spirited young man from a month ago was now disheveled, his clothes were dirty, and although he had dark circles under his eyes, his eyes were still fixed on the blue medicine cauldron in front of him.

"Hiss—he's refining medicine! Judging from the energy fluctuations, it's a fifth-grade pill! This kid can refine fifth-grade pills!" Hu Qian was stunned. He never expected that a sixteen-year-old boy could refine fifth-grade pills!

This is outrageous!

"Freeze!"

Xiao Li activated the flames, condensing the medicinal liquid into a pill the size of a longan.

boom--

The strange phenomena caused by the fifth-grade elixir filled the entire room.

Xiao Li held the pill in his hand. The pill was still warm, but it wasn't perfectly round.

"Tsk, the pill-making process was too hasty! This pill is of poor quality! It's all your fault, old man! You actually disturbed my pill-refining, and you've ruined a perfectly good Qingyuan Pill!"

Xiao Li roared at Hu Qian! The most taboo thing for an alchemist is to be disturbed during the alchemy process. Xiao Li was at the most critical moment of condensing the pill, but Hu Qian distracted him.

"Qingyuan Pill! A high-grade fifth-rank pill, the Qingyuan Pill! This is a pill that can assist a Dou Huang in cultivation. Although it can't directly increase cultivation by one star like the Dou Ling Pill or the Huangji Pill, its effect of accelerating cultivation speed is extremely significant!"

Hu Qian was surprised. It's no wonder he was so surprised, because Canaan Academy really doesn't have such a strong alchemist. The most powerful alchemist in the academy right now is Elder Huo, the head of the alchemist department, who is only a fifth-grade alchemist.

If he wants to refine the Qingyuan Pill, he will probably need to hone his alchemy skills for a while longer.

"Ahem, Vice Dean, what did you say you wanted to talk about? What day is it today?" Xiao Li asked, picking at his ear.

"Today is the Inner Academy selection competition. Aren't you going to the Inner Academy? And maybe you can get a spot in the Library Pavilion while you're there? If you miss today, you'll have to wait for the next one!"

Hu Qian explained that he wisely refrained from mentioning that he had just disturbed Xiao Li's alchemy, since his actions had violated a taboo for alchemists.

"I understand. They're just some Battle Masters. I'll take on any battle against a Great Battle Master." Xiao Li dusted himself off and walked outside.

In the selection competition,

The top students from each class had been waiting for a long time, but the selection competition had not yet started because one student had not yet arrived, and the vice dean personally went to invite him.

"Who is it? They must have some serious influence to require the vice-dean to invite them?"

Who knows?

Boom boom boom—

A series of air explosions rang out, and a crimson streak of light rushed in, crashing directly onto the fighting platform and creating thick smoke and dust.

"Alright, geniuses, show me what you've got, I'll take it all!"

As the dust settled, a young man was seen holding a large red and silver sword, looking arrogantly at the remaining people on the field.

"How dare you!"

"Arrogant!"

"court death!"

The geniuses were initially taken aback, but then they were enraged by Xiao Li's words and rushed forward without thinking twice.

"Hmph! Heaven! Fierce! Slash!"

Xiao Li raised the Heavenly Blaze high above his head, then gathered his battle qi! An extremely strong energy fluctuation converged on the Heavenly Blaze! Earth-rank battle techniques can utilize the energy of heaven and earth to achieve destructive power.

With his current cultivation level of three-star Dou Ling, Xiao Li can unleash Earth-rank Dou Techniques, making him virtually unrivaled among Dou Ling. If a Dou Wang were to be directly attacked by Xiao Li, they would be either dead or crippled.

"Oh no! Protect the trainees!"

Vice Dean Hu Qian had just sat down when he stood up again because Xiao Li had gone too far.
