Chapter 57: Three years! Third on the list, Xiao Yu!
"Old man Hu, is this little guy Zhou Chen?"
Hearing the question from the leader of the Xuanpao old man, Hu Qian smiled and nodded, saying: "This child is Zhou Chen, and the one beside him is Xiao Yu."
"The youngest girl is my granddaughter Hujia. I'm coming with you today to see the world."
With that said, Hu Qian turned around and waved to Zhou Chen and the others, then pointed at the old man in black robe and said: "This is Elder Su Qian of the inner courtyard, and the rest of the people present are also elders of the inner courtyard. "
After hearing this, Zhou Chen and the others immediately said politely: "I've met Elder Su Qian! Hello, Elder!"
"Hello to you too."
The Great Elder Su Qian returned the favor with a smile, and immediately glanced at the three of them. Finally, he nodded slightly and said: "He is indeed a Seven-Star Fighting Spirit. Such a talent is rare in ancient and modern times."
After hearing Su Qian's words, the faces of the other elders present became solemn.
Originally, they were still thinking whether Zhou Chen's strength might be fake.
Now it seems that they worried too much.
"Okay, let's not talk nonsense anymore. You two little guys came to the inner courtyard just because you want to enter the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower to practice. I will take you there now."
Su Qian smiled and waved his palm, and a clever fighting spirit surged out, sweeping Zhou Chen, Xiao Yu and Hu Jia into the air.
The next second.
This Douzong-level elder of the inner courtyard flashed, stepped into the void, and used his fighting spirit to support Zhou Chen and the others, flying towards the north of the inner courtyard.
Seeing this scene, Hu Qian and the inner dean elders present looked at each other, spread their wings of fighting spirit, and flew into the sky.
The speed of Dou Zong's strong men is so fast.
In just a dozen breaths, Su Qian crossed a distance of dozens of miles and arrived at the very center of the inner courtyard.
Because he was held up in the air by Su Qian's fighting spirit, Zhou Chen was able to overlook the scene below from a high position.
On the ground below, I saw dark figures gathering in a ring.
Most of these figures are very young, their strength ranges from high-level fighting masters to fighting spirits, and they are obviously basically students from the inner courtyard.
And in the center area surrounded by these inner courtyard students, there is a depression.
In that depression, an extremely huge black tower was buried deep underground, with only a small section of the tower's spire and a pitch-black entrance exposed on the ground.
Seeing this strange scene, the little demon girl Hu Jia couldn't control her temper and immediately whispered: "Is this the Tianfen Qi Refining Tower? I didn't expect it to be buried underground..."
"Because the core of the Qi Refining Tower is underground."
Explaining with a smile, the Great Elder Su Qian stroked his white beard, then turned to look at Zhou Chen and Xiao Yu, and said calmly: "If you want to practice in the Sky Burning Qi Tower, you need a similar currency. Something called fire energy."
"Originally, if students in the inner courtyard want to obtain fire energy, they have to do some tasks for the academy, or gamble and fight in the ring, sell martial arts and fighting skills, elixirs, etc. But..."
Speaking of this, Su Qian paused and then continued: "I am more optimistic about you two, and old man Hu is trying his best to fight for your treatment..."
"Therefore, I will take care of all the fire energy you two use for your cultivation!"
The next second, Su Qian waved his hand, and two purple chips shot out from his hand, floating in front of Zhou Chen and Xiao Yu.
Reaching out to hold the chip in their hands, Zhou Chen and Xiao Yu took a closer look and found that there was a transparent mirror on the chip, which reflected a number: "Three Thousand".
Obviously, this means that Zhou Chen and Xiao Yu can practice in the Tianfen Qi Refining Tower for three thousand days!
That is more than eight years!
Such a favor is not a big deal!
They must also accept this favor.
"Thank you, Great Elder, for your attention! You will be rewarded generously in the future!"
Looking at Su Qian, Zhou Chen raised his hands and clasped his fists, and said in a sincere tone.
Xiao Yu on the side also bent down to thank him.
"Haha, there is no need for generous rewards. After you become a Dou Zun and a Dou Saint, it will be good to come back to the academy often."
Su Qian said with a smile.
He is very optimistic about the future of these two young geniuses. This is the biggest reason why he is willing to provide them with almost unlimited fire energy.
"laugh……"
Just when Su Qian wanted to continue saying something, a large number of breaking sounds suddenly sounded from behind.
I saw Hu Qian and a dozen elders from the inner courtyard waving their fighting spirit wings and flying over in a few breaths.
Seeing so many elders gathered together, many inner courtyard students who were waiting quietly below suddenly became uproar and started talking!
"First, the opening of the tower was delayed for a long time, and now there are so many elders here. What happened today?"
"The one who leads the way in the void is Elder Su Qian?"
"It should be, but who are the three children beside the great elder?"
Hundreds of students from the inner courtyard were talking a lot, and their eyes gradually focused on Zhou Chen, Xiao Yu and Hu Jia.
There are no fools among the students who can enter the inner courtyard. They understand very well that everything that happened today must be related to those three boys and girls.
All kinds of speculations came out one after another in a short period of time.
"Boom!"
At this moment, suddenly, an ancient bell chimed loudly.
Immediately afterwards, an old voice spread from the tower:
"Open the tower!"
Before he finished speaking, the closed black door of Tianfen Qi Refining Tower was slowly opened with a heavy metal sound.
The next second, the inner courtyard students who had been waiting for a long time immediately turned into streams of light and shot towards the tower door.
"Little guy, do you want to enter the tower now?"
In mid-air, Su Qian looked at Zhou Chen and asked with a smile.
"Um."
After hearing this, Zhou Chen nodded.
Immediately, he saluted Su Qian, Hu Qian and others with fists in his hands, and then looked at Hu Jia, who was beside him with a look of reluctance, and touched the little girl's head.
"Don't touch my head, I won't grow taller."
Hu Jia complained, then beeped softly: "How about touching my face?"
"Next time, next time I touch your face."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhou Chen said, unable to help but smile.
Xiao Yu, who was on the side, couldn't help but smile at this moment, and immediately teased Hu Jia: "Don't worry, even if you don't grow taller, Zhou Chen will not break off the engagement."
"That's right, I'm talking about credibility."
After saying that, Zhou Chen turned around and took Xiao Yu's soft, boneless hand.
The two of them tapped their toes, and with the help of Su Qian's fighting spirit, they slowly descended from mid-air and swept through the door of Tianfen Qi Refining Tower.
Looking at the dark door with firelight in front of him, Zhou Chen took a deep breath and murmured: "It's time to concentrate on practicing..."
…
Winter passes and spring comes, time flies.
In the blink of an eye, nearly three years have passed since Zhou Chen entered the inner courtyard.
In the past three years, Zhou Chen never participated in any activities or went out to do tasks. Instead, he stayed in the Tianfen Qi Refining Tower almost all day long, practicing non-stop.
He would only leave the tower once to satisfy his physiological needs.
Under such hard training, his strength has also grown by leaps and bounds!
…
…
…
Today is a very lively day in the inner courtyard.
As usual, the inner courtyard organizes an activity every month for all students to enter the Tianfen Qi Refining Tower to practice.
The students in the inner courtyard are very enthusiastic about this kind of activity, because they don't have to pay any "fire energy" to enter the pagoda to practice on this day.
If you can waste your energy all day long, why not do it?
Therefore, shortly after the bell to open the tower rang, hundreds of students from the inner courtyard swarmed towards the Tianfen Qi Refining Tower.
And at this time.
Not far from the dark gate of Tianfen Qi Refining Tower, a tall girl stood gracefully.
The girl looks to be no more than sixteen or seventeen years old. She has a pretty appearance and a graceful temperament. What's most striking about her are her slender and round legs.
All the students who passed by, regardless of gender, couldn't help but glance at her legs.
However, such a glance needs to be extremely subtle, because they are very clear about the identity of this girl:
Third on the strong list, the strongest fighter, Xiao Yu!
