Chapter 11 Return to the Xiao family!The water flows eastward, the leaves fall, and the passing time slips away quietly. Black Horn Region, Heping Town, this is the prerequisite checkpoint for entering Canaan City. Robbery, killing and other things are not allowed here. If anyone dares to violate the rules, the law enforcement team affiliated with Canaan College will come and kill the evildoer. "Please, let me go. I just killed a few ants without any cultivation. Why do you want to kill me? Your Canaan Academy is so domineering that it will cause public outrage!" In a dark alley, a fierce-looking, fleshy man was kneeling on the ground. There was a hole on each wrist, and blood was constantly flowing out. With a pleading look in his eyes, he cried to the people coming towards him. "You know the rule that killing is not allowed in Heping Town, don't you? In your eyes, they are ants, but in my eyes, you are the same!" A cold voice was heard, and a young man in light blue clothes slowly approached, holding a spear. On the chest of his clothes, he wore a blue badge, on which was engraved a dagger stained with a little crimson blood. "If I let you go, how can I explain to those people you killed? In your next life, remember to be a good person!" Without further ado, the young man, who had walked a sufficient distance away, raised his arm and thrust his spear out like lightning, piercing directly through the big man's throat. Walking out of the shadows, the soft light from outside shone on the young man's face. He had distinct features, sharp eyebrows, and bright eyes. His handsome face had a cold expression, as if the person who had just died in his hands was not a human but an animal.
After taking off the storage ring from the big man's finger, the young man flashed and left the alley directly. "Junior brother Xiao Yun, has the villain been killed?" Outside the alley, a tall young man leaned against the wall, looked at the boy who walked out of the alley and smiled. "Yes, I have completed this task." The young man, Xiao Yun, said that ever since he was beaten up by Xu Ning last time and realized his shortcomings in fighting, Xiao Yun applied to join the law enforcement team and honed himself in life-and-death battles. It has been a year and a half now. "That's right. With your cultivation as a six-star Grand Fighter and this spear, it will be easy for you to deal with a five-star Grand Fighter." The young man nodded, staring at the spear in Xiao Yun's hand with envy in his eyes. Hearing the young man's words, Xiao Yun also smiled and looked at the spear in his hand. This weapon was given to him by Elder Huo when he heard that Xiao Yun was going to join the law enforcement team. The spear was named Red Blood, and it was flaming red. The spear was engraved with Dou Qi inscriptions. Most importantly, a fifth-order fire magic core was embedded in the spear head! With this spear, Xiao Yun could escape unscathed even when facing a Dou Ling master. "Okay, now that the mission has been completed, let's return to the law enforcement team." The young man retracted the envy in his eyes and spoke. "Senior Fang Xu, I will not return to the law enforcement team. The inner courtyard selection competition will be held in half a year. During this time, I want to practice hard and strive to pass the selection and enter the inner courtyard." "Oh? That's fine too. With your current level of cultivation, it's a foregone conclusion that you'll pass the selection. It's just that you might have to endure some hardships when you enter the inner courtyard. If you can wait until next year to participate, with your talent, you won't suffer after breaking through to the Douling level. "Fang Xu smiled and said, "But it's better to enter the inner courtyard earlier. When you enter the inner courtyard, I will treat you to a meal." Xiao Yun nodded. He had longed for the inner courtyard for a long time. The young man in front of him, whom he called Senior Fang Xu, was an inner courtyard student. Before, Xiao Yun didn't have the strength to get in, but now he has reached the level of a six-star great fighter, and is basically the number one in the outer courtyard. If he doesn't enter the inner courtyard, who will? The reasons why Canaan College is famous in the mainland are, firstly, that the dean Mang Tianchi is a semi-saint, and secondly, the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower in the inner courtyard can speed up the cultivation speed. The lower the realm, the stronger the effect! As for the hardship Fang Xu mentioned, Xiao Yun also knew that it was from the team of senior students in the Fire Energy Hunting Competition. This was also an old tradition of Canaan College. No matter whether you were in the outer or inner college, as long as you were a freshman, you would be bullied by senior students once you entered school. However, Xiao Yun didn't care much about that little bit of fire energy. Now he was already a third-grade alchemist, and even for a fourth-grade pill, he had a 20% success rate. When you enter the inner courtyard and sell some pills there, you can make a lot of money from fire energy! …… In Canaan College, Xiao Yun, who had just returned from Heping Town, went back to the dormitory immediately, washed off the smell of blood on his body, changed into a set of clean clothes, and after doing all this, he went straight to his teacher's residence.
Elder Huo's residence is a small courtyard built with green bamboo. There is a large bamboo forest around the courtyard, which looks very quiet. Looking at the small courtyard in front of him, Xiao Yun sniffed his body and found no smell of blood, so he walked in with confidence. "My dear disciple, are you here to see your master?" Inside the house, Elder Huo was lying leisurely on a bamboo chair, flipping through a book. He was extremely satisfied with his disciple Xiao Yun. He was extremely talented, humble, and respectful to his teacher. Elder Huo could hardly find any flaws in Xiao Yun. Hearing what his teacher said, Xiao Yun scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "Teacher, I'm not here to see you, I'm here to say goodbye to you. Today is the day when the academy instructors are out recruiting students. I want to follow them back to the family and teach them some of the skills and fighting techniques I have acquired in the law enforcement team over the past year and a half." After two years of studying away from home, Xiao Yun had switched to low-level earth-grade martial arts, but he still remembered the hard days when he was in the Xiao family and could only practice high-level yellow-grade martial arts. In the past year and a half in the law enforcement team, he had obtained dozens of Xuan-level martial arts and fighting skills. Although most of them were of no use to him, they were a huge fortune for the Xiao family, which only had one Xuan-level martial arts. "Okay, you've been at Canaan College for two years, so it's good for you to go home. But the inner college trials will be in half a year, so remember to come back early." Elder Huo nodded and didn't say much about Xiao Yun's return home. He just told him not to forget the inner courtyard selection. "I remember that. Teacher, I'll go back and pack my things first." "Go out and close the door." After saying goodbye to Elder Huo, Xiao Yun quickly ran towards the flight stop in Canaan City. After hurrying all the way, he finally caught up with the college's admissions team. After explaining the situation to the teacher leading the team, Xiao Yun boarded the griffin to Wutan City. …… Two months later, Wutan City, Xiao family. Xiao Yun stood in front of the gate of the Xiao family, looking at the Xiao family which had not changed much since he left for two years, and couldn't help feeling some emotion in his heart. The Xiao family is still the same Xiao family, but he is no longer the Xiao Yun he used to be. Walking quietly on the path of the Xiao family, Xiao Yun came back this time completely on impulse, and did not tell any of the Xiao family members. So the entire Xiao family did not know that Xiao Yun had returned, until Xiao Yun walked to his own courtyard and met Xiao Zhan and three elders who were about to go out to visit the college for enrollment. "Xiao, Xiao Yun!" Xiao Zhan and the three elders were stunned for a moment, then they reacted and shouted in surprise. "Uncle Xiao Zhan, three elders, long time no see." Xiao Yun smiled and nodded, greeting them. "Hahaha, it's been a long time since we last met. It's been two years and you've only just come back." Xiao Zhan walked forward with a big laugh and patted Xiao Yun on the shoulder. "Aren't you studying at Canaan College? Why did you come back so suddenly without telling us so that we could pick you up?" "I came back this time just to give some things to the family, and I know the way myself, so there's no need to make a big fuss." "We are all family. Why should we mobilize a large force? This is not the place to talk. Let's go to the hall." The great elder squeezed forward and said with a smile. In the hall, Xiao Zhan and his friends sat at a round table with Xiao Yun, asking about Xiao Yun's recent situation. "I heard from Xiao Long, Xiao Hu and the others that you have not only broken through to the Fighting Master level, but you are also an Alchemist?" "I heard that you became a disciple of a master of alchemy at Canaan College. Your alchemy skills were taught by that master, right?"
…… Xiao Zhan and others asked at the same time. In the past two years, Xiao Yun had not returned to the family and had not written to them. They had written several letters but had not received any reply. The only way to get information about Xiao Yun is from the two brothers Xiao Long and Xiao Hu who are also in Canaan College. However, since Xiao Yun joined the law enforcement team, he rarely returned to the college, and the two brothers didn't know much about Xiao Yun's situation. This resulted in the fact that the information Xiao Zhan and his companions had about Xiao Yun was still an outdated version from a year ago. After hearing the questions from several people, Xiao Yun did not answer, but took out his alchemist badge from the ring and threw it on the table. "Third-rank alchemist!" Looking at the badge on the table, which had three carefully drawn silver ripples on it, Xiao Zhan and the others opened their mouths wide in disbelief. You know, in the entire Wutan City, there are no alchemists among the three major families. The only alchemist is Master Gu Ni from the Mitel Auction House. Usually, Xiao Zhan and his friends have to curry favor with him when they see him. But that Master Gu Ni was only a second-grade alchemist, and now, a ten-year-old child in his family has become a third-grade alchemist! "This... this can't be fake, right?" The Second Elder, who usually had the hottest temper, also became scared at this moment. Forging an alchemist badge would offend the Alchemist Guild. Alchemist Guilds are spread all over the continent. If they knew that Xiao Yun had forged the alchemist badge, there would be no place for Xiao Yun in the entire Douqi Continent. "What are you talking about! How can this be fake? This quality, these ripples, it can't be fake at all, right? Don't you think so, Xiaoyun?" Xiao Zhan immediately scolded the Second Elder. He also understood the serious consequences of forging the alchemist badge. He pointed at the ripples on the badge, wanting to prove that it was real. Although he also felt that it was a bit ridiculous that Xiao Yun became a third-grade alchemist at the age of ten, he still believed in his genius nephew and turned to Xiao Yun for confirmation. Seeing the disbelieving expressions of the few people, Xiao Yun said helplessly: "My teacher is Elder Huo of the Alchemy Department of Canaan College, a fifth-grade alchemy master. With such a great Buddha like him around, how dare I forge a badge? And I am not only a third-grade alchemist, I have also broken through to the level of a great fighting master. " He circulated the fighting spirit in his body, gently bent his palm, and a faint red light diffused from his fingertips. After a moment, he flicked his fingers lightly, and the red energy flew out of his fingers like a sharp arrow, shattering the vase beside the hall. "Your fighting spirit is released! You have really broken through to the Grand Fighter Master level! Then your becoming a third-grade alchemist must be true. I told you that Xiaoyun would never do such a thing." The release of fighting spirit is a major sign of a great fighting master. At this level, fighting spirit can leave the body. Xiao Zhan and the others have been great fighting masters for many years, so naturally they would know it. "Okay, uncle, three elders, I came back this time to thank the family for their cultivation of me. Now I have achieved some success, so I brought some martial arts and fighting skills to repay the family." After Xiao Yun finished speaking, he gently waved his hand on the table, and a pile of scrolls appeared on the round table. Looking at the scroll in front of them, Xiao Zhan and the three elders' eyes widened, and they no longer cared whether Xiao Yun's alchemist badge was genuine. "These are the skills and fighting techniques I obtained at Canaan College. There are only three volumes of intermediate Xuan-level skills, namely fire, water, and wood. The others are all low-level Xuan-level skills." After hearing Xiao Yun's words, Xiao Zhan and the others could no longer sit still. They quickly stood up and looked at the three volumes of martial arts in Xiao Yun's hand. You know, because the Xiao family had offended a powerful enemy before and fled all the way from the Holy City of Gama to the City of Wutan, almost all of their high-level martial arts and fighting skills were lost, leaving only a book of Xuan-level martial arts. Even so, in the Xiao family, only the patriarch can practice, and the others, including the three elders, can only practice those yellow-level fighting skills. Now, the martial arts and fighting skills that Xiao Yun brought back have directly strengthened the Xiao family's foundation. Not to mention how much Xiao Zhan, the three elders and other masters of the clan will improve their fighting skills after practicing these techniques, the future achievements of the younger generations in the clan alone will be greatly improved. A member of the Xiao family with normal talent can only practice the Yellow-level skills. Perhaps he will be stuck in the Great Fighting Master realm for his entire life and will never be able to break through to the Fighting Spirit realm. But if he can practice the Xuan level skills, then he will have the possibility to break through to the Dou Ling level, and there is even a glimmer of hope to become a Dou Wang.
"Xiao Yun, your return is so important. Our Xiao family can produce a genius like you. It is really the blessing of our ancestors in heaven!" Xiao Zhan said excitedly. "Don't worry, in addition to the fighting skills, I also prepared some pills for you." Xiao Yun waved his hand again, and six jade bottles appeared on the table. "There are two Qi Gathering Powders here, which are low-level fourth-grade pills. Their effect is to allow a person with the ninth level of Dou Qi to 100% condense the Dou Qi cyclone and become a Dou Zhe. They were refined by me. The other four are Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pills, fourth-grade high-level pills. If taken by a person at the Grand Fighter level, it can basically increase one star’s strength. They were obtained by my Canaan City.” Of these six pills, the Qi Gathering Powder was made by Xiao Yun during his previous practice, while the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill was obtained from the storage rings of those evildoers he killed in the law enforcement team. In a year and a half, Xiao Yun only obtained four of them. "The Qi Gathering Powder can be left for those with good talents in the clan. As for the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill, Uncle Xiao Zhan and the three elders, the four of you can each take one." Xiao Yun distributed the six pills nonchalantly, as if he took out not fourth-grade pills but six eggs. Xiao Zhan and his companions now felt as if they were surrounded by a huge sense of happiness, so tightly that they even felt a little breathless. (End of this chapter)
