Chapter 28: The Trial Begins
"Vice Dean, you complimented me, I was just lucky for a while. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Xiao Han's tone returned lightly, without the slightest look of pride on his face.
Looking at Xiao Han's bland face, Vice Dean Zhuang Mengdie nodded in admiration and said, "Xiao Han, cultivate hard and strive to be promoted to a Xuan Master as soon as possible." ā
"Thank you Vice Dean for your concern, I will definitely work hard to cultivate. A smile appeared on Xiao Han's face.
Then, Zhuang Mengdie's eyes turned to Zhang Yide and said, "Zhang Yide, although you have become Dean Xu Ziling's apprentice now, your identity is different from the past, but you have to remember that only when your own strength is improved, will you truly be respected by others, and you will be able to gain a firm foothold in the cultivation realm, do you understand?"
Zhang Yide nodded obediently, and said angrily: "Zhang Yide understands." ā
"Hmm!" the vice dean nodded and continued: "Although you are extremely talented and your achievements in the future are limitless, you must not be proud of this, you must face everything with a normal and calm heart, and remember not to learn the deeds of those disciples of the family, now that you have become Dean Xu Ziling's apprentice, then you should cultivate harder in the future, spend more time cultivating your face, and never let down the dean's hard work for you." ā
Hearing this, Zhang Yide patted his chest and thought to Zhuang Mengdie, and reassured: "Vice Dean, don't worry! Zhang Yide will definitely work hard to cultivate, and he will definitely not embarrass his master." ā
The vice dean nodded with a smile and left. When the vice president left, Xiao Han chatted with Zhang Yide for a while, and then said goodbye to each other and continued to return to the Scripture Pavilion to read his book.
When Xiao Han returned to the Scripture Pavilion, the disciples who had been reading in the Scripture Pavilion had disappeared one by one, and soon after, two sensational news spread throughout the entire Yunlan Academy at an incredible speed.
"Zhang Yide, who won the second place in the new disciple championship conference, actually became the apprentice of the dean of Yunlan Academy, and had a fierce battle with the Saint Invincible, who was known as a cultivation genius in the academy. ā
"Xiao Han, the rising star of the new disciple championship conference, fought against Xu Yangke, who had the strength of an intermediate Xuan Master, and forced Xu Yangke to use Xuan soldiers to fight empty-handed, and finally shocked Vice President Zhuang Mengdie, and was punished for a month on the cliff face wall. ā
These two pieces of news have spread to every corner of Yunlan Academy in just a few hours, shocking the whole academy, and at the same time, Zhang Yide has also become a famous celebrity in Yunlan Academy, he was originally just a commoner, but now his identity has undergone earth-shaking changes, and some of the disciples of the family who looked down on him before had to change their expressions in the face of Zhang Yide from now on, and at the same time, now Zhang Yide has also become the object of all forces in the academy.
Although Xiao Han's reputation also spread throughout the academy, it was completely covered by Zhang Yide's extremely shining brilliance, and Xiao Han didn't care about it.
Despite this, there are still many female disciples who have put their bright and obsessive eyes on Xiao Han, Xiao Han's appearance is very handsome, definitely no worse than any male disciple in Yunlan Academy, coupled with his unique momentum and strong strength, it is definitely a girl killer, therefore, in Yunlan Academy, Xiao Han has become the prince charming in the minds of many girls.
Whenever he first appeared in the academy, there were always many male disciples who challenged him with various excuses, and even Xiao Han went to the Scripture Pavilion to read books, there would be many people to harass him, so that he couldn't even read the time to be peaceful, for this reason, Xiao Han also made several moves, and taught a few self-righteous and unscrupulous disciples in his eyes, but maybe it was because Xiao Han was too forgiving! The deterrent effect is negligible and almost negligible. In the end, Xiao Han was helpless, and after the approval of the vice dean, he had to take the book to the disciple's courtyard to read, except for the time to read the book, almost all of Xiao Han's rest of his free time was devoted to cultivation.
Time passed in a hurry, three months had passed in a blink of an eye, early in the morning, when the sun slowly rose high in the sky, Xiao Han, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, finally opened his eyes slowly, and at the moment when his eyes opened, two essences flashed from his eyes.
Xiao Han lowered his head slightly, and slowly spread out his palm, only to see that the palm was empty, and the third-order beast pill that he was originally holding in his hand had completely disappeared.
Feeling the powerful spiritual power in his body that was like the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, Xiao Han's face finally showed a smile - the tenfold peak of the Xuanzhi.
After three months of cultivation, he has been promoted from the ninth level of the Xuan Scholar to the peak of the tenth level of the Xuan Sect, and he is only one step away from condensing the Xuan Soldier to become a Xuan Master, and he can step out at any time. And the third-order beast pill that he got at the new disciple championship conference had been completely consumed by Xiao Han, although the spiritual power contained in the third-order beast pill was very huge, but the spiritual power required by Xiao Han's cultivation was far more than that of ordinary people.
After all, the spiritual power required for his body refining was very terrifying, so a third-order beast pill that was enough for a Xuan Scholar to advance to at least an intermediate Xuan Master could only allow Xiao Han to reach the height of the Tenth Rank of the Xuan Master.
Xiao Han looked at the sky outside the window, now that the sun was already hanging high in the sky, it was not early.
Today is a special day for Yunlan Academy, because today Yunlan Academy will hold a large-scale training activity, and the whole academy will participate.
All disciples must go to the small forest twenty miles away from Yunlan Academy, and stay for three days, disciples who are less than the strength of the Xuan Master, each of them must obtain at least two first-order beast pills in these three days to pass the test, and the disciples whose strength reaches the Xuan Master, each person must obtain at least two second-order beast pills to pass the test, there will be no limit to the number of beast pills handed in, but the disciple who pays the most beast pills will receive a very rich reward, a fourth-order beast pill with an earth spirit root and a storage ring.
Such a rich reward is enough to move them even in the eyes of those rich and noble children from great families.
At the same time, all disciples who pass the level have the right to read various exercises on the fourth floor of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and this reward is even more attractive to those disciples from ordinary families.
In the cultivation realm, all the exercises are divided into four levels, namely the heavenly grade, the earth grade, the Xuan grade, and the yellow grade, and each level is divided into three levels: primary, intermediate, and advanced. The Xiao family's supreme mastery of "Tuoshe Ancient Fist" is firmly in the high-end of the earth, and may even reach the heavenly quality, which is extremely precious.
After leaving the disciple's courtyard, Xiao Han walked straight towards the martial arts arena, this event had been announced three days ago, after three days, almost all the disciples had prepared everything and adjusted their strength to the peak state.
When Xiao Han came to the martial arts arena, it was already crowded, but it was obviously divided into two camps, one of which was gathered by those disciples of the family without exception, while the other camp was all disciples from civilian backgrounds and had no identity background.
All the disciples who did not advance to the rank of Xuan Master all held a magic weapon full of cold light in their hands, and since this time they were fighting with spirit beasts, the academy also let them choose a magic weapon for self-defense.
Xiao Han went straight to the magic weapon shelf, but when he saw the few magic weapons left on the magic weapon shelf, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, almost all the good magic weapons were selected by the disciples in front of him, and now some of the remaining magic weapons are either inferior or the kind of heavy magic weapons that require brute force to wield, which are not suitable for him to use at all.
His eyes slowly swept over the magic weapon frame, and when Xiao Han found a finger-thick broken iron rod inserted in the magic weapon frame, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he immediately reached out and pulled it out with great difficulty, only to see that this iron rod was about three feet long, the thickness of the fingers, and it was already covered with brownish rust, and one of them had a very sharp tip.
Xiao Han took the rusty iron rod in his hand and weighed it, and then tried the hardness, and then nodded with satisfaction, although this iron rod is inconvenient to hold, but its weight and length are just right for Xiao Han to use, with the magic weapon left here, there is no doubt that only this iron rod can make Xiao Han exert greater strength as much as possible.
At this time, Zhang Yide walked out of the crowd, and now he was carrying a giant flying sword that was a little bigger than his body, and it seemed that Zhang Yide was even more majestic now.
Zhang Yide came to Xiao Han's side, and when his eyes fell on the rusty iron rod that Xiao Han held in his hand, he couldn't help but show a trace of doubt in his eyes, and asked puzzledly: "Hey, Xiao Han, what are you doing with this iron rod!"
Xiao Han smiled and said, "What else can you do, of course it's as a magic weapon!"
"No, Xiao Han, you actually used this broken iron rod as a magic weapon, you ...... You...... You're okay with your head!" Zhang Yide looked surprised.
Xiao Han chuckled lightly and didn't explain much.
Although Zhang Yide was very puzzled by Xiao Han's use of a broken iron rod as a magic weapon, he did not continue to dwell on this issue, and continued: "Xiao Han, why don't we fight together! If the two of us join forces, no first-order spirit beast will be able to threaten us, and even kill a second-order spirit beast by leapfrogging! Moreover, I have been fighting with wild beasts in the forest since I was a child, and I have gradually learned some experience in survival in the wild. ā
Hearing this, Xiao Han thought for a while, and then nodded and agreed to Zhang Yide's proposal, there is no prohibition in the academy for disciples to gather together to hunt spirit beasts, so most of the disciples can gather together in three or five to walk together.
At this moment, a handsome and arrogant disciple of the family came to Zhang Yide, and said with a smile: "Hello Zhang Yide, my name is Sun Zhongshan, the peak of the Ten Layers of Xuan, how about we go together, I believe that we can join forces and hunt spirit beasts more easily." ā
Zhang Yide looked at Sun Zhongshan, then shook his head, and said, "No, it is enough for me and Xiao Han to be together, and we don't need others to join." ā
Rejected by Zhang Yide, Sun Zhongshan was not discouraged at all, turned his head to look at Xiao Han, his expression suddenly became a little arrogant, and said: "This must be Xiao Han! Young Master Han of the Xiao family in Wolong City, hehe, he is really a talent, Brother Xiao Han, I am a member of the Sun family in Canaan City, and my father is the head of the Sun family, I don't know if Senior Brother Xiao Han welcomes me to join your team?" Although Sun Zhongshan's words were quite polite, there was a faint sense of coercion in his tone.
The city of Canaan, the imperial capital of the Canaan Empire, is located in the Imperial Palace.
Listening to Sun Zhongshan's threatening tone, Xiao Han frowned, his eyes slowly swept over Sun Zhongshan's handsome face, and said indifferently: "I'm sorry, we don't need people to join us, after all, we are facing a first-order spirit beast, and we don't have extra time to take care of others." ā
Hearing this, Sun Zhongshan's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver, gloomy and black, and the meaning of Xiao Han's words had clearly shown that he looked down on his strength.
Sun Zhongshan's face was gloomy, his eyes stared at Xiao Han's plain face fiercely, and then he snorted coldly and left directly.
Since Sun Zhongshan left, many people with not simple identities have come one after another, these people either say hello to Zhang Yide or want to join Zhang Yide's team, but all of them have been rejected by Zhang Yide, for these people, Zhang Yide has no good feelings, and he is not willing to say more to them.
When everyone left, a burly young man who was not much younger than Zhang Yide walked over from a distance with three disciples of medium stature and in their twenties, walked straight to Xiao Han, stretched out his hand and patted Xiao Han's shoulder fiercely, and laughed: "Brother Han, you are now a celebrity in the academy, in our Yunlan Academy, I'm afraid there is no one who doesn't know your name, yes, yes, you didn't embarrass our Xiao family, so that the eldest brother followed you a lot of light." ā
That sturdy young man was Xiao Han's eldest brother Xiao Li, and at this moment Xiao Li had a happy smile on his face, and the excitement was from the heart.
A smile appeared on Xiao Han's face: "Big brother, don't make fun of me, by the way, you came just in time, why don't we go together in this event!"
Xiao Li shook his head, as if he had thought of something, a happy smile appeared on his face, and said: "Brother Han, if you had told me this seven days ago, maybe the eldest brother would have been happy to walk with you, but now it is not possible, because seven days ago, your eldest brother and I finally succeeded in condensing the Xuan Soldier and becoming a Xuan Master, this activity is to enter the third trial area of the forest to hunt the second-order spirit beast, so I can't be with you." ā
