Wu Hao's hoarse and indifferent voice focused all the eyes of the audience on the young man in black robes. These eyes were full of gloating, anticipation and other various emotions. Anyway, Wu Hao's words
, once again made Xiao Yan the focus of the audience.
Staring closely at the blood-robed figure in the field, Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes, and then slowly stood up under the gazes of countless eyes. There was no sign of timidity on his face because of the opponent's tyrannical strength.
Their eyes intertwined in mid-air, and a faint force of fighting spirit surged out of the two people's bodies at the same time. Subtle energy ripples also spread out from the surface of the two people's bodies. These were caused by the rapid surge of fighting spirit in the body in an instant.
scene.
Seeing the two people who were beginning to compete with each other, the students in the surrounding stands suddenly became excited. If these two people fought, it would definitely be a battle between dragons and tigers!
Beside Xiao Yan, Xun'er frowned slightly and opened her mouth. She was hesitant to speak as if she wanted to dissuade Xiao Yan, but in the end she was worried that because of her words, those students would think that Xiao Yan would only hide.
Behind the woman's back, therefore, the words that came to her mouth were not spoken in the end.
"Hey, let's fight. It's best to hurt both sides, so that I can save some effort." On the other side of the stand, Bai Shan sneered at the two people facing each other in the field.
"If we really want to fight, that would be fun, but unfortunately, the old man will definitely not let this happen." The girl in red put her arms on the railing, her eyes swept over Xiao Yan and Wu Hao, and said regretfully.
And as if following what she was thinking, just as the momentum of Xiao Yan and Wu Hao gradually increased in the field, an old shout suddenly sounded, and the momentum that the two men had finally lifted up was suddenly shaken into nothingness.
"You two, please settle down for me. This is a trial, not a place for private challenges!"
The brewing momentum was forcibly broken, and Xiao Yan and Wu Hao trembled at the same time. They each took a step back, raised their heads and looked along the sound, and saw the bearded man in the center.
An old man who is all white and has a slightly angry look on his face.
"That's Vice Dean Hu Qian. Apart from the Dean, he has the most power in the outer courtyard. Don't contradict him, otherwise it will leave a bad impression." Xun'er's low voice suddenly sounded to Xiao Yan.
Ringing in the ears.
Xiao Yan nodded slightly, his eyes first resting on Wu Hao in the field for a moment, then he lowered his gaze and slowly sat back.
"Wu Hao, you also need to retreat. Tomorrow is the last day of the trial, and you will have your duel then!" Seeing Xiao Yan retreat, Hu Qian turned his attention to the blood-robed figure in the field and shouted.
Hearing Hu Qian's shout, Wu Hao frowned slightly, but his eyes were fixed on Xiao Yan in the stands, and the latter also looked back at him without changing his expression. After looking at each other for a long time, he held his hand.
In a flash, the bloody epee was put into the ring, and a hoarse voice slowly came out: "I hope you won't disappoint me tomorrow. I don't want the person Xun'er has been waiting for for a long time to be a waste."
Xiao Yan smiled lightly and did not answer. After Wu Hao said this, he stopped staying and turned around to face the outside.
Seeing the fight between dragon and tiger being forcibly broken up by the vice-dean, the students in the stands shook their heads in disappointment.
"Okay, let's continue the game." After sending the two people away, Hu Qian waved his hand and ordered.
As his instructions fell, the referee's table immediately read out the list again.
In the next dozen games, Xiao Yan finally saw Xun'er's moves with his own eyes. However, after watching for a while, he shook his head helplessly. This girl obviously only showed part of her strength and strength. The opponent fought, but even so, after fighting for more than ten rounds, he unexpectedly won the victory.
Looking at Xun'er who returned from the field with a playful look on her face, Xiao Yan rolled his eyes. Her actions made Xiao Yan want to analyze her exact strength from her moves. Lost in vain.
Not long after Xun'er appeared on the stage, Bai Shan and the girl in red also appeared. These two people were indeed the people that instructor Ruolin solemnly reminded to pay attention to. Their opponents were a six-star fighting master and a The Seven-Star Fighter Master and the Six-Star Fighter Master Baishan faced off were okay. After fighting Baishan for more than ten rounds, he automatically chose to admit defeat and ended up safe and sound.
The opponent of the girl in red was in bad luck. The two of them had just finished the initial courtesy, and before the referee's voice had completely finished, the girl in red had already appeared strangely in front of the referee. , a light and fluttering palm, but it contained a tyrannical energy that made people's faces change. With one slap, the seven-star fighting master who was protected by a fighting spirit gauze was slapped out of the field, and finally he was still rolling on the ground. After walking more than ten meters, he stopped in embarrassment.
Xiao Yan, who was sitting in the stands, couldn't help but look stunned as he looked at the girl in red's fierce and shocking actions.
With the appearance of Bai Shan and the girl in red, there were not many highlights in the next game. Therefore, after watching a few more games, Xiao Yan, Xun'er and others were the first to exit the noisy square. , the two of them walked slowly inside the academy, enjoying the warm moment of being alone together after more than two years of separation.
When the sky gradually darkened, Xiao Yan and Xun'er returned to the elegant pavilion of instructor Ruo Lin. This time when they returned to the pavilion, they met an acquaintance who had particularly fond memories of Xiao Yan.
In the hall, a slender girl stands tall and graceful. She wears a lavender single coat and a leg-length skirt, which undoubtedly reveals the girl's liveliness and vitality. The face that has been charming and pure since she was a child is now even more beautiful. She looks quite charming, with big watery eyes, as if she can talk.
Judging from the smile on the girl's cheek, she seems to be doing well in the academy. Of course, with her appearance, she has a large number of pursuers no matter where she goes. However, at this time, this girl, who is usually surrounded by other boys, The extremely calm girl in front of her stood up nervously after seeing Xiao Yan enter the door, and timidly called Xiao Yan's cousin.
Standing in front of Xiao Mei for a while, looking at the face that was more beautiful and full of charm than before, Xiao Yan smiled and nodded without too much enthusiasm. After he became a waste, the girl in front of him chose Her kind of avoidance of suspicion completely hurt him when he was a child. Therefore, it also made Xiao Yan very resistant to her. Although after two or three years, that resistance has faded a lot, but it is still like this. , Xiao Yan did not show an overly affectionate expression. After chatting with Xiao Mei for a while with Xun'er, Xiao Yu and others in the living room, he casually found an excuse and got up and returned to his room.
The girl was sitting on the soft sofa, looking at the figure slowly walking up the stairs, biting her red lips tightly, her eyes filled with gloom and regret. Some things, after you have done something wrong, you can never make up for it.
Before Xiao Yan became a waste, the relationship between Xiao Mei and Xiao Yan was, to put it bluntly, comparable to that of Xun'er at that time. However...since the genius fell, she has chosen a path.
In a completely different direction from Xun'er, Xun'er still never abandons her, but she is quite realistic and draws a very sad boundary between the two...
And that boundary still exists today. No matter how she repairs it, there are still dazzling cracks.
Looking at Xiao Mei's gloomy face, Xun'er could only remain silent. She knew Xiao Yan very well. This seemingly gentle man was extremely arrogant in his heart. Xiao Mei hurt him back then, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
Active or passive, she will always lose the opportunity to completely repair the relationship between the two parties.
No matter how the person who hurt him treats him in the future, he will probably find it difficult to accept it. This is true for Xiao Mei, and the same is true for Nalan Yanran. Back then, Xiao Mei chose to alienate her relationship with Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran.
When she came to the Xiao family to break off the engagement, Xun'er said something: "I hope you won't regret it in the future..."
So far, the two women who had hurt Xiao Yan have indeed regretted it. However, it is too late and they have abandoned things that this man with a proud heart will not and does not bother to touch again.
Thinking of this, Xun'er suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. She was somewhat thankful for her choice back then. Otherwise, no matter how good she was, she probably wouldn't be able to break into that man's heart again.
In the quiet room, the faint moonlight poured in from the window. Xiao Yan was sitting cross-legged on the bed. The surrounding space fluctuated slightly. Wisps of energy penetrated into the body along with his breathing, and then were refined into Dou Qi and stored in the cyclone.
Among the Dou Jing.
The practice lasted for two or three hours, and Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes. A wisp of cyan flame flashed through his dark eyes, and then quickly disappeared.
"The Dou Qi in Dou Jing is getting more and more. According to this cultivation progress, I'm afraid if you give me another ten days, I will be able to reach the Six-Star Dou Master." Xiao Yan shook his hands slightly and murmured in a low voice.
road.
"Alas, the strength is still far from enough..." Xiao Yan frowned, waved his palm, and a piece of simple jade appeared in his palm. The jade piece was light green in color. Among the jade pieces, there was a...
The light spot is slowly swimming in it. This light spot symbolizes the life of Xiao Yan's father, Xiao Zhan. If the light shines brightly, it means that life is worry-free. If the light spot dissipates, it will be the time when his soul is gone.
Holding the ancient jade piece tightly, Xiao Yan felt a little dazed and sad. When he was a child, no matter whether he was a genius or a waste, his father never looked at him strangely. Even when the family was ridiculed with white eyes, his father still maintained his attitude towards him.
His pampering, and whenever Xiao Yan, who was still a little boy, was injured, he would pat the little boy on the shoulder with a smile, and say with a smile, a man must be strong, tears and decadence will not make a man strong.
of.
All these things made Xiao Yan, who had another kind of mature soul, identify with him and put him in a very important position in his heart.
"Father, I will find you." Holding the ancient jade piece tightly, Xiao Yan's eyes slowly turned colder. No matter who the person who kidnapped his father was, he would have to make him pay the price in the future!
As the emotions in Xiao Yan's heart fluctuated, a wisp of cyan flame suddenly appeared on Xiao Yan's palm. The sudden appearance of the cyan flame made Xiao Yan startled, and his face immediately changed. When his heart moved, the cyan flame quickly dissipated, and Xiao Yan hurriedly spread it out.
When he opened the palm holding the jade piece, he was shocked to find that the simple jade piece, which he thought was extremely fragile, actually withstood the terrifying high temperature of Qinglian's core fire.
"This..." A flash of surprise flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes. For the first time, Xiao Yan looked at this ancient piece of jade that had been passed down by the Xiao family very carefully. According to the elders, this piece of jade can only be obtained by the clan leader.
Even those who are qualified to hold it do not know much about it.
He looked at the ancient jade piece carefully with his eyes. With the help of the moonlight, Xiao Yan suddenly discovered that under the moonlight, there seemed to be some extremely complicated mysterious marks on the jade piece. After Xiao Yan looked at it for a long time, he actually had something.
A dizzy feeling.
Shaking his head, he shook the feeling out of his mind. As he looked carefully, Xiao Yan was more and more surprised. This piece of jade did not seem to be used only to store a trace of the clan leader's soul.
Effect, his fingers slowly stroked along the edge of the jade piece. After a moment, Xiao Yan's fingers froze suddenly and he touched back and forth on the upper edge of the jade piece. The edge here was different from the other sides. The other places were
It is formed naturally, but here, it is more like a piece of jade that has been forcibly cut open.
"What on earth is this? It seems that I can only wait until the next time I return to the family to ask some elders. It seems that there are some things in the Xiao family that we juniors don't know." A trace of doubt arose in Xiao's heart.
Yan stared at the ancient jade piece for a long time, but didn't notice anything at all. Now he had no choice but to shake his head and carefully put the jade piece into the ring.
Shortly after Xiao Yan put away the jade piece, the dark ring on his finger trembled, and soon the illusory figure of Yao Lao slowly floated out.
"I didn't feel the breath of strange fire in this Canaan Academy." As soon as he came out, Yao Lao said helplessly.
"Huh?" The sudden bad news made Xiao Yan's expression suddenly change, he frowned and whispered: "Didn't the teacher say that in Canaan College, you can get information about the Fallen Heart Flame?"
"I did find the aura of strange fire in the area of Canaan College back then, but now that I come back, I don't feel that way anymore." Yao Lao said with a bitter smile.
"Did someone else get it??" Xiao Yan's face looked a little ugly. The Fallen Heart Flame was the key to his great increase in strength.
"Probably not. Although I can't feel the exact aura of the Fallen Heart Flame, with the unique attraction between the different fires, I can vaguely detect with the Bone Spirit Cold Fire that there are still some Fallen Heart Flames within a thousand miles of Canaan College.
The weak breath of Yan is just that I can't determine the direction." Yao Lao shook his head and said thoughtfully.
"It's a thousand miles away...how long will it take to find it?" Xiao Yan twitched the corner of his mouth.
"I think it is impossible for those old guys in Canaan Academy not to notice the existence of the Fallen Heart Flame. I always feel that the inner courtyard has something to do with it..." Yao Lao said slowly.
"Inner courtyard?" Xiao Yan was startled.
"Well, the inner courtyard is the core of Canaan College. If you can sneak into it, I think you might be able to get some news about the fallen heart inflammation." Yao Lao was silent for a while and suggested.
"Oh, I'll try my best..." He sighed lightly. Since he had already arrived at Canaan College, it was naturally impossible for him to choose to return empty-handed.
"Well, I will show up less often in the future. There is a strong man lurking next to your little girlfriend. It is not convenient for me to show up for too long, lest I be discovered..." After Yao Lao said something to Xiao Yan, his body swayed.
Got into the dark ring.
Watching Yao Lao disappear, Xiao Yan frowned slightly, looked up at the moonlight outside the window, and murmured: "Inner courtyard? Is there really Fallen Heart Flame there?"
