Chapter Twenty-Three: Re-entering the Firmament

Qingfeng Academy's graduation competition is held once a year, and not only the students who can complete the course are selected, but also the top 10 students also have their own rewards.

The top ten will be rewarded with a three-grade top-grade cheats, with no restrictions on exercises and star skills, the top five will be rewarded with a bottle of the three-turn Xuanqi Pill, each bottle contains twenty pills, and the top three will be rewarded with a bottle of Tongming Dan, each bottle is also twenty.

As for the first place, you can get a four-grade inferior cheatbook, which is also not limited to exercises and star skills.

The three-turn Xuanqi Pill can greatly increase the speed of star practitioners, the effect is much stronger than that of the Qi Condensing Pill, and there are no side effects, as for the Tongming Pill, it can improve the spiritual power of the star in the short term, and during this time, whether it is comprehending star skills or exercises, the efficiency will be improved a lot.

The rewards for the top ten are not insignificant, and any of them are what Ling Xiao urgently needs right now.

"I can't let go of such a great opportunity. Ling Xiao's eyes flashed, and his eyes were bright.

Four-grade inferior cheats, this kind of sky-high price, I believe that no one in the academy will not be tempted, you must know that Qingye City is just a small city under the jurisdiction of Qinghe County, ordinary stars can get a three-grade cheats, they have to laugh, as for the four-grade cheats, it is only available in a few big families or colleges.

After tidying up his clothes, Ling Xiao carried his steel sword to Qingfeng Academy.

When he left the mansion, he didn't meet Ling Yue and Ling Dou, and the graduation competition of Bailu Academy was only a few days, and they didn't have any leisure to wander around the mansion.

Half an hour later, Ling Xiao arrived at the academy, and as soon as he entered the gate of the academy, he didn't go far when he saw a large number of people standing in front of the announcement wall, not to mention hundreds.

At the innermost part of the crowd, an old man with white hair but strong spirits stood there, surrounded by seven or eight middle-aged people, each of whom looked extraordinary, and was obviously a high-level star.

"Dean, the people are almost here, let's set off to Tongmang Cangshan, right?" a middle-aged man dressed in green clothes suddenly said to the old man.

The white-haired old man stroked his beard, glanced at the countless students again, and nodded: "Okay, it's all arranged over there, don't have any accidents." ”

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Dean, rest assured, everything has been arranged, and there will be no accidents." ”

"Well, let's go, I hope there will be a few geniuses in this batch of students who will satisfy me. ”

"Dean, don't say it, in this batch of students, whether it is Li Qingyang or Zhou Xing, they are all geniuses who are rare to see in ten years, and there are also several extremely talented students among our third-level students, so I promise that we will not disappoint the dean. ”

A smile appeared on the dean's wrinkled face, and said, "I hope so, too, but the first one this year should have been between that Li Qingyang and Zhou Xing." ”

An hour later, hundreds of students followed the dean and the others to the outside of the Mangcang Mountain Range.

The Mangcang Mountain Range, located in the north of Aoba City, spans an area of 10 million meters, and the area is huge, if you hike, you may not be able to pass through it for decades, and there are countless star beasts inside, which is the venue for the Qingfeng Academy graduation competition over the years.

The students who were able to come over to participate in the final competition this time were all people who were extremely confident in their own strength, at least they all had the strength of the fourth order of Juexing, after all, although the periphery of Mangcang Mountain was generally ninth-rank star beasts, but occasionally there would be weaker seventh- and eighth-rank high-level star beasts, if the strength was not enough, it was easy to worry about their lives.

At this moment, the dean suddenly coughed lightly and said loudly: "The students who can come here are all the elites of my Qingfeng Academy, and this year's final test is the same as in previous years, I believe you should have known the rules a long time ago." ”

"Now each of you has a huge burden in your hands, which can be used to hold a large number of Star Beasts. Once you're in the valley, your mission is to find and kill the star beasts to get points, of course, you just need to take off their ears or heads, and then we'll rank each person according to the number of points they have, and as for the corresponding rewards, I don't need to repeat them. ”

There was a burst of laughter from the crowd, and many people looked a little excited, the rewards for the top 10 finishers were enough to make people's hearts pound just thinking about it.

Just one bottle of the Three-Turn Xuanqi Pill was worth more than 100,000 taels, could they not be excited?

"Okay, no more nonsense, the final race starts now, you guys are ready to enter the mountain!"

With the dean's order, four or five hundred people rushed to the mouth of the valley, the entrance of this Mangcang Mountain is huge, at least thirty or forty people can be accommodated at the same time to walk side by side, at this moment everyone is showing their own body, one by one quickly swept in.

Ling Xiao walked at the back of the crowd, but he was not in a hurry to go in first, after all, the Mangcang Mountain Range had been to it several times before, although he didn't enter from here, but he was still very familiar with the inside, if it was expected, he would enter from here, and it was already close to the inner perimeter, and some unlucky ghosts might have encountered a seventh-rank star beast as soon as they entered, and I was afraid that they would be seriously injured and sent out.

The more than ten people who stayed outside the mountain range were all high-level figures of Qingfeng Academy, and the dean looked at the students who were scrambling, originally smiling, but suddenly frowned.

"Liu Ming, that student is Ling Xiao from the City Lord's Mansion?" he looked at the back of a student and raised his eyebrows.

Liu Ming has always been the dean's right-hand man, and he is also a gentleman in the academy, who is responsible for teaching advanced courses, Wen Yan looked at the figure and said, "Yes, dean, this year is Ling Xiao's fifth year in our academy, according to the rules, he must come to participate in this graduation competition, otherwise he will be deemed to have automatically quit the academy." ”

"But this kid only has the cultivation of the third order of Juexing, I'm afraid it's a little dangerous. The dean looked hesitant, considering whether he should call the student back.

"Juexing Third Order?how is it possible?" Liu Ming was taken aback, thinking to himself, didn't this kid have been unable to Juexing Destiny Star for five years, how could the dean say that he had reached the Juexing Third Order?

His strength was more than a step behind the dean, and he glanced at it in a hurry, not paying attention to what level Ling Xiao had reached.

"Dean, isn't that Ling Xiao a waste? Are you mistaken?" Liu Ming was not worried that something would happen to the students in the valley, because they had already arranged for the teachers of the academy to go in and take care of them secretly, and once someone was in danger, they would take them out, of course, if this case, they would definitely lose the qualification to continue the competition.

The dean smiled slightly, stroked his beard and said, "Shame and courage, this kid is actually very good, don't underestimate him too much." ”

Ling Xiao's matter, as the dean, how could he hear less, but he hadn't paid much attention to this student before, and he didn't want to give himself a surprise today, although his cultivation was still very low, but it was not too embarrassing, at least to the level of an ordinary student.

"Is that so?" Liu Ming still couldn't come back to his senses, not only him, but even several teachers next to him were stunned by what the dean said.

"Could it be that this stupid bird has suddenly opened his mind?" thought to everyone.

However, the third order of Juexing was still a little unsuitable for them after all, and these people didn't pay too much attention to it, because the top ten could only be produced among the third-level students, and even if this Ling Xiao wanted to pass this test successfully, there was basically no possibility.

"It's actually a pity for this kid, if he can open his mind earlier, maybe he can still win the first place, but unfortunately, many years ago, somehow his talent was dusty, and it was difficult to come out of the stars, but unfortunately it was a little late to awaken now, and we can't break the rules of the academy for decades. The dean sighed and said regretfully.

Liu Ming smiled noncommittally and said, "Dean, even if this Ling Xiao is enlightened, it is too late to start, even if he wants to catch up with others, there is basically no possibility." However, with the two genius disciples of Li Qingyang and Zhou Xing, you should be relieved, even if you see Dean Zhuge in the future, your old waist will be much straighter. ”

The dean laughed and said, "Yes, this old Zhuge horseman, next time I will see how he will get along with me." ”

As soon as the four or five hundred students entered Mangcang Mountain, they quickly scattered and separated, after all, Mangcang Mountain was so big, there were naturally many star beasts, if the number of people was too dense, it would be easy to attract the attention of star beasts.

At this time, everyone's situation is different, among them, some students with slightly weaker strength, two or three, three or five formed a team, and rushed to the depths of the inner mountain range together, wanting to work together to kill some high-level star beasts, and most of the students with higher strength acted alone, after all, for these third-level students, it is natural to pass the test, but now the more important thing is to grab the ranking, which is the most important thing.

After Ling Xiao entered the valley, he was already a distance behind the group of people in front of him, and he watched the students in front of him continue to go deeper, and soon disappeared.

Ling Xiao's eyes flashed, and he flew to the top of a big tree of three or four feet, and raised his eyes to look.

The flow of people has long been divided into small groups, and there are already people in many places who have already started with star beasts, but fortunately, there are not many star beasts in the valley, and the strength is not very strong, and no one has been injured for a while.

Ling Xiao took out the map he bought from the Hundred Grass Pavilion from his arms, secretly compared the location, remembered it in his mind, then put away the map, looked in one direction and flew away.

Beyond the upper right is a slightly open flat land, with a slight slope.

At this moment, the flat ground is already dilapidated, pitted, it was originally four men and women surrounding a tiger-shaped star beast is attacking, the tiger-shaped star beast is more than two zhang long, one zhang high, fierce and mighty, a tiger tail like a steel whip chain, every time it sweeps to a place, it will definitely leave a deep hole, the power is amazing.

"It's a Violent Tiger Beast, how can someone provoke this Star Beast, is this fate?" Luoyang's eyes showed a strange look, this is too coincidental, you can encounter it every time, but I have to say that the Violent Tiger Beast is definitely the top existence among the eighth-rank star beasts, and its strength is comparable to the fifth-order master of Juexing among human martial artists, and it may even be stronger, after all, the star beast is fierce by nature, and once it is launched, it is definitely much more cruel than humans.
