"Canaan College is divided into inner and outer courtyards. After passing the assessment, you can move from the outer courtyard to the inner courtyard and begin your real studies."
"Of course, based on your qualifications and abilities, and in order to protect the students from the outer courtyard, you two will be directly admitted to the inner courtyard."
"The inner courtyard is a five-year system. Students can practice here for five years. After five years, it is time to graduate. Of course, some students can apply for a two-year extension after completing their studies and continue to study in the courtyard."
"After the formalities are completed, a teacher will lead you two to the library to receive a set of martial arts and fighting skills, which is considered a benefit for freshmen. After receiving it, you can move freely in the academy."
"The restrictions in the inner courtyard are very small. The most important one is the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower. Oh, take these two cards. With these cards, you can use the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower freely..."
Elder Su Qian took Little Medical Fairy and Qing Lin with him, and while handling the formalities he explained things, if the students in the academy heard what he said, they would probably be envious.
Although the inner courtyard of Canaan College is relaxed, the conditions for promotion are extremely strict. To qualify to enter the library, one must rank among the top in the assessment.
For example, the core of the inner courtyard, the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower, requires "fire energy" to use. Although this fire energy is nothing to the inner courtyard strongmen, Su Qian directly came with a wave of lifetime free VIP cards. If the inner courtyard students knew about this, who could resist it?
There is no way, those who have privileges can do whatever they want.
While Su Qian was processing the admission procedures for the two girls, Lin Ran, led by Xiao Ziyan, was strolling around the inner courtyard.
The inner courtyard of Canaan College is very large, even larger than the outer courtyard and the entire Canaan City.
Rather than an academy, it is more like a small Black Horn Region, but it is not as bloody as the Black Horn Region.
The various colleges in the academy work together to build up their own power, and there are also strong rankings hanging high, waiting for the competition among the heroes.
Lin Ran was fascinated by the lively environment. No wonder Canaan Academy had been able to stay on this continent for so long. Who among those who came out of such an environment as the "Little Black Corner" could be a loser?
"If we can make Canaan College a talent transfer station for our Shengyu Sect, then why would our Shengyu Sect not prosper?"
Lin Ran murmured, and Xiao Ziyan, who was crunching the pills, shook her head.
"No, big brother. The students here all have families. Although you are awesome, they will basically return to their own forces after graduation and will not join others."
"Even if there are, there should be only a few, and they are all very ordinary."
"Is that so?"
Lin Ran did not comment. In the original novel, Xiao Yan established the Pan Sect and the Xiao Sect in the Black Horn Region to form a complementary bond.
But what Zi Yan said was right. Whether it was the Xiao Sect or the Pan Sect, they were just a few big cats and small cats, and they were not a big deal.
If we talk about a force that can be considered strong enough, the Flame Alliance led by Medusa is somewhat worth mentioning.
"It's not possible to recruit people... Then, how about recruiting forces?"
Lin Ran murmured, his eyes flashing.
Canaan College is like a huge treasure house. Every student in it is extremely valuable. This value is not only reflected in themselves, but also in the forces they represent.
The Shengyu Sect already has an alliance, so why not just expand this alliance a little bit?
In the original novel, Xiao Yan formed the Tianfu Alliance to fight against the Soul Palace, so why can't he form a Shengyu Sect Alliance?
Tianmen.
Holy Sect!
"Boss, kill him!"
"What a strong strength! He is worthy of being ranked third on the power list!"
"Although Liu Qing is good, our boss is still slightly better!"
"Tsk, it's still unclear who will win or lose..."
The noisy sound interrupted Lin Ran's thoughts. His eyes moved around and he saw a large number of students surrounding an arena, cheering.
The arena is the most popular area in the inner courtyard. Generally speaking, the arena, a slightly bloody place, and the atmosphere of the academy are two completely different things, but in this inner courtyard, these contradictions are not avoided at all.
We have to say that the decision of the inner courtyard was wise. It was precisely because of the existence of the arena that the students coming out of the inner courtyard were not like the students of other academies who only knew how to fight on the surface, but would become weak once they were caught in a brutal battle of life and death.
In the arena, with the rich "fire energy" as rewards, countless students fight here every day. Although most people want to gain pleasure and breakthroughs from the battles, everyone is very happy to get extra rewards while increasing their combat experience.
The arena every day is almost always packed with people, and the noisy roars can be heard clearly even if you are a hundred meters away from the arena.
Today's arena was, without exception, packed with countless figures. Looking around, it was filled with a sea of heads. An extremely loud noise rang in people's ears, like a devil's sound drilling into the brain, causing some people who were not used to it to feel a headache.
In this huge arena, there are many platforms of considerable size, but today, almost half of the people in the arena are gathered outside one platform. As the fierce collision between two figures in the arena produced ripples of energy, a series of hoarse cheers filled the entire arena.
"It's those two guys. No wonder there are so many people."
Little Ziyan raised her little head, pouted at the two people in the arena, turned around and waved her fist at Lin Ran: "Those are two students from our inner courtyard. Their strength is very average. I can beat them with one punch. But every time they fight, they like to gather a lot of people around. It's so noisy."
Lin Ran showed a helpless smile and rubbed Zi Yan's head with a purple ponytail: "Can you be the same as them?"
You are from the Taixu ancient dragon royal family. Who can be more talented than you? Even that girl Xun'er may not be able to compare with you!
Liu Qing and Lin Xiuya were fighting fiercely in the field. Liu Qing was holding a heavy black spear in his hand, while Lin Xiuya was holding a long sword in his hand.
The two of them kept colliding on the stage, and each collision was like two meteors colliding in the air.
The two powerful fighting spirits continued to erupt, and under the powerful force, even the solid arena was cracked.
"clang!"
The crisp sound of metal and sparks rang out from the collision between the two. The pitch-black heavy spear and the green sword collided heavily. A visible ripple of energy surged out and immediately hit the bodies of the two figures heavily.
"Bang, bang!"
With a low sound, both figures stepped back, but Lin Xiuya steadied his steps after just two steps, groaned softly, and shook his shoulders to dissipate the energy.
On the other hand, Liu Qing, who seemed strong and tough, took several steps back with his breathing disordered.
"This Liu Qing's mastery of fighting skills is too low."
Lin Ran shook his head: "And his control over his fighting spirit is also very poor, otherwise this collision should have resulted in Lin Xiuya's defeat."
"Brother is right. They are still fighting with fancy skills. I can knock them away with just one punch!"
Xiao Ziyan nodded repeatedly. No matter whether it was Lin Xiuya or Liu Qing, they were nothing to her. In previous battles, no matter what kind of fighting skills they used, she could knock them down with just one punch.
"Oh? Since you nodded to what I said, you should have understood something about the situation on the field. Come, tell me the advantages and disadvantages of Liu Qing and Lin Xiuya."
"ah?"
Zi Yan's face froze, and she smiled as if she was crying: "Brother, I..."
"Boom!"
"Ouch!"
Zi Yan covered her little head, feeling a little pain, and looked at Lin Ran pitifully.
Lin Ran shook his head helplessly: "You can't just rely on your physical fitness and innate skills to fight. The reason why Warcraft transforms is to obtain human combat skills and martial arts at the same time, and match them with the body of a Warcraft."
"You have swallowed the Transfiguration Grass and have become a human body. Naturally, you should make the most of your strengths. If you can use those powerful fighting skills, your combat power will be greatly improved."
"Of course, fighting skills that are suitable for you are indeed hard to find. Low-level fighting skills are useless to you. I don't have many high-level fighting skills. Wait for me to find one or two for you to learn in a few days."
"Okay, okay..."
Zi Yan stuck out her tongue. She was too lazy to learn fighting skills, but she dared not disobey her elder brother.
Seeing Zi Yan like this, Lin Ran shook his head helplessly, and began to think in his heart what kind of fighting skills he should match with Zi Yan.
Zi Yan is the ancient Taixu dragon, the overlord of Warcraft. Whether in terms of her physical body or her natural skills, she is inherently at the pinnacle of this world.
If they had to choose a fighting skill, they would naturally choose the one that best suits their racial characteristics.
[strength]
[space]
This is the attribute of the Taixu Ancient Dragon.
The Taixu Ancient Dragon possesses the world's most top-level physique of a magical beast. Not only is its body extremely strong, but it is also innately compatible with space. Humans can only begin to come into contact with the power of space when they reach the Dou Zong level, but the Taixu Ancient Dragon can master it from birth.
Strength and space are the two types of fighting skills that are most suitable for Zi Yan, but fighting skills that combine these two characteristics are quite rare, especially the second space attribute.
Space, this is a power that only Dou Zong and above can control. If it is integrated into the fighting skills, it is necessary to mobilize the energy of heaven and earth. Its level is at least earth level, or even high earth level!
This fighting skill really needs to be searched carefully.
"One move!"
In the field.
The pitch-black Mountain-Splitting Spear in Liu Qing's hand was heavily hidden on a piece of rubble, and he suddenly spoke to Lin Xiuya.
Lin Xiuya frowned slightly, staring at Liu Qing, whose momentum suddenly became more fierce, and said calmly: "You are no match for me, Liu Qing."
"The final move determines the outcome."
A slightly stiff smile appeared on Liu Qing's face, which had been gloomy all the time. The Mountain-Splitting Spear slashed across the air, and the light golden fighting spirit left a faint golden trace in the empty space.
"This is my strongest trump card. If I lose, I will have no complaints!"
Hearing Liu Qing's words, everyone in the stands stretched their necks, their eyes constantly wandering over the two figures.
Feeling Liu Qing's high morale, Lin Xiuya floated the long sword in front of him and said loudly: "If that's the case, then come on!"
"good!"
After receiving the response, Liu Qing's eyes suddenly lit up and he shouted in a deep voice. At the same time, he moved his feet slightly, tightly grasped the Mountain-Splitting Spear with both hands, and leaned his body slightly downward. The tip of the spear with a cold glow pointed directly at Lin Xiuya in the distance!
An intense pale golden light slowly burst out from Liu Qing's body. The dazzling light was like a blazing sun, making people dare not look directly at it. Moreover, in that strong light, an extremely sharp gun light and strong wind surged out with unparalleled force.
As Liu Qing assumed this posture, Lin Xiuya took a deep breath, his face solemn, and he stroked the sword with the tip of his left hand, and an extremely sharp green sword energy emerged from the sword.
"Is it coming? The final showdown between the second and third strongest people on the list... Hey, why is there a little girl here... Holy shit!"
Below the stage, many top players on the strong list were staring at the fight on the stage with sharp eyes. Suddenly, a carefree man with fiery red hair seemed to notice something and his eyes suddenly turned to Zi Yan who was sitting next to him.
He just asked with a smile, and then his face froze rapidly, and he stepped back hastily with horror on his face as if he had been electrocuted.
"Fuck, you! Why are you here!?"
As he stepped back, a sharp, horrified voice came out of the man's mouth.
This man was obviously also a master on the strong list, and was quite famous. This action immediately attracted the attention of the people around him, and they all looked in the direction that man was looking. Suddenly, the people who had been watching the fight around the arena showed expressions of extreme fear and hurriedly fled.
"What are you yelling about?"
Covering her ears, Zi Yan said to the horrified man with great dissatisfaction, and stuffed a pill into her mouth: "You disturbed me while I was eating, do you know that?"
After swallowing his saliva, the man felt relieved when he saw that Zi Yan didn't do anything special. He whispered tentatively, "You, are you going to participate in the competition today too?"
"Who wants to fight with a bunch of weaklings like you? You'll be dead with just one punch. There's no point at all."
Zi Yan ate the pill and said incoherently: "I am here to visit the academy with my eldest brother today."
"Brother?"
Everyone was bewildered.
"Boom!"
Once again, Zi Yan covered her head and looked at Lin Ran with a face full of grievance.
"Don't talk while eating. Clean your mouth before you talk."
"oh..."
Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap!
The brute king was beaten, and he admitted his mistake. Damn, how is this possible? Am I dreaming?!
Seeing Zi Yan like this, everyone was stunned, as if their worldview had been reshaped.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Even Liu Qing and Lin Xiuya, who were ready to go on the podium, noticed the situation below the stage. The moment they saw Zi Yan, their pupils contracted, and for a moment, even their ultimate moves came to a halt.
Especially after hearing what Zi Yan said, his face was full of confusion, and his eyes fell on Lin Ran behind Zi Yan.
This boy... is called Big Brother by the Brute King?!
"Hello..."
Xiao Ziyan quickly swallowed the pill in her mouth, and feeling the gazes of the crowd, she snorted and shouted, "Hey! What are you looking at me with? If you keep looking at me like that, I'll beat you up!"
"!!"
Everyone immediately shrank their heads. How could they be considered a strong man from the inner courtyard when they saw him looking so cowardly?
Obviously, these inner courtyard masters were deeply impressed by Xiao Ziyan.
"And you two, why are you fighting here in broad daylight? If you have the guts, just fight me. Why are you still using fighting skills? My eldest brother said that your fighting skills are not good enough, and your control over fighting spirit is terrible. I don't know what you are doing all day long."
After being hit on the head twice by Lin Ran, Xiao Ziyan immediately opened fire and bombarded all the masters on the inner courtyard strong list.
But these masters didn't dare to say a word.
However, Liu Qing and Lin Xiuya on the stage grasped the key point in Zi Yan's words.
"This... Your Excellency Brother Zi Yan."
Liu Qing jumped down from the ring and bowed to Lin Ran: "You just said that our mastery of fighting skills is not high, and our control over fighting spirit is terrible?"
"right."
Lin Ran nodded calmly: "One of you has power but no influence, and the other has form but no spirit. You two are terrible, but I may have overestimated you."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar, and even the fear of the King of Brute Force dissipated a lot.
Liu Qing and Lin Xiuya can be said to be the strongest in the inner courtyard. Apart from Zi Yan, the king of brute force, no one in the inner courtyard can match them.
But at this moment, their strongest was belittled as worthless, which made all the proud strong men on the strong list present feel a sense of humiliation.
But when they thought that this guy was the eldest brother of the King of Brute Force, they wanted to curse him, but they swallowed it back.
"Your Excellency said that my fighting skills are only in form but not in spirit?"
Lin Xiuya suddenly spoke, staring at Lin Ran, and said with a cupped hand: "May I ask for your advice?"
"oh?"
Lin Ran looked at Lin Xiuya with interest. Zi Yan beside him immediately shouted, "Hey, hey, hey, big brother is here to inspect the inner courtyard. Don't seek death for no reason. If you want to fight, I will fight you!"
"Senior Zi Yan, you are joking. I am naturally no match for you, and I have no intention of fighting with your elder brother..."
Lin Xiuya smiled faintly and said, "I just want to learn a thing or two. After all, I really don't know what form and spirit are."
"I hate people like you who have no self-awareness the most! You're asking for a fight!"
Zi Yan snorted coldly, clenched her fists, leaped up, and was about to hit Lin Xiuya on the head.
Lin Xiuya was so frightened that he took several steps back, holding the Qing Gang sword in front of him, as if he was ready to withstand some terrifying force.
But unexpectedly, this power did not arrive for a long time. When he looked up, he found that Zi Yan, who had jumped into the air, seemed to be restricted by an unknown force and was directly bound in mid-air.
"This is..."
Everyone was somewhat surprised and confused, but Lin Ran's calm voice brought everyone back to their senses.
"Well, you are a student of the academy. Since you want to ask me something..."
Lin Ran took a step forward, and everyone felt dazed, and Lin Ran's figure disappeared.
"Then I will give you some pointers."
When the voice sounded, everyone realized that Lin Ran had actually appeared on the stage.
This kind of method immediately caused the pupils of many strong people in the field to shrink. They were all children of large families with many strong people in their families, including some at the first level of Dou Zong.
Lin Ran's method was clearly the power of space that only Dou Zong masters could drive, but Lin Ran's appearance...
Is it possible for such a young Dou Zong master to be like this? !
"Lin Xiuya, please give me your guidance!"
Lin Xiuya clasped his fists and saluted, then rushed towards Lin Ran, the Qing Gang long sword in his hand was filled with sword energy, pointing directly at Lin Ran's throat, the breath was fierce!
Lin Ran raised his eyebrows slightly, and swung the Dou Qi chain in his hand. Lin Xiuya, who was flying in the air, changed his face drastically. His legs, abdomen, and shoulders were hit by the Dou Qi chain at the same time. The whole person was like a bird with broken wings, shaking and falling from the air.
"this!"
"How is this possible?!"
Everyone present was stunned. In their minds, the number one person in the inner courtyard except for the brute force Wang Ziyan was actually completely unable to fight back in front of Lin Ran?
"this..."
Lin Xiuya slowly stood up and calmed his breath. There were white marks on his shoulders, abdomen and legs. They were the traces left by Lin Ran's fighting spirit training.
"Are you doing some juggling?"
Lin Ran said calmly: "Swords are not used to show off, but to kill people. You can swing the sword if you want, whether it's stabbing or slashing, whatever posture you want, do you like to be a target?"
Lin Xiuya's face changed slightly, and after pursing his lips, he bowed to Lin Ran: "Lin Xiuya understands, please continue to teach me!"
This time, he did not use the sword in his hand to rush towards Lin Ran again.
Instead, the fighting spirit in his palm condensed and covered the sword. The fighting spirit was so fierce that Liu Qing in the audience suddenly looked serious. He realized that this was the big move that Lin Xiuya was going to use on him, and his eyes suddenly became bright.
"Be careful!"
Lin Xiuya's expression was solemn, and the fighting spirit in his body rose to the extreme at this moment.
"Blue Flame Sword Aura!"
The next moment, accompanied by Lin Xiuya's cold shout, the Qing Gang sword in his hand suddenly turned into a green light and rushed towards Lin Ran.
The momentum was so strong that everyone in the field changed color.
Especially Liu Qing, who clenched his fists at this moment, with a look of unwillingness on his face.
With such power, even though the two had not yet fought, Liu Qing knew that he had already lost.
I can't handle this move!
"The power of this move is comparable to that of a Dou Wang. I wonder how you will respond... What?!"
Liu Qing's pupils suddenly shrank, and everyone present was stunned at this moment, with disbelief on their faces.
The blow that was comparable to that of a Dou Wang warrior dissipated like a breeze when it was about to land on Lin Ran, leaving only the long sword, stabbing towards Lin Ran dryly.
Lin Ran waved his sleeves lightly, and the long sword in Lin Xiuya's hand broke into pieces. In the blink of an eye, only the hilt was left, leaving him at a loss.
"How is this possible..."
"Watch out, kid, this is how you use the sword energy."
Lin Ran spoke calmly, and with a shake of his sleeves, the red-gold fighting spirit in his palm suddenly fluctuated, and then quickly squirmed. After a moment, it condensed into a golden sword that was about ten feet wide.
The surface of this sword is extremely bright in color, with golden light all over, which is extremely dazzling. When the sword was formed, the surrounding space suddenly violently fluctuated, which shows the huge energy contained in it.
Looking at the golden sword that appeared in Lin Ran's palm, everyone present was shocked.
Feeling its terrifying power, many people even subconsciously took a few steps back with horror on their faces.
"The sword is a very moderate weapon among all weapons. It is neither long nor short, neither strange, dangerous, fierce, nor strong. If someone who does not know how to use a sword holds a sword, it is no better than a brick, except for showing off."
"When using a sword, the key lies in intention, not form. It lies in spirit, not form."
Lin Ran held the Pure Yang Golden Sword in his hand and spoke calmly to Lin Xiuya. At the same time, he suddenly swung the Pure Yang Golden Sword in his hand towards the vast sky in the distance.
"Buzz!"
The sword light burst out, and everyone only felt a golden light cutting through the sky, tearing through the sea of clouds, and sinking into the sky.
The vast sky seemed to be torn and broken by something. First, a golden light appeared, and then the golden light burst out, and endless golden light covered the entire sky.
The vast sword energy roared through the sky and stretched for thousands of miles!
The sky shattered.
The sword opens the sky!
In an instant, the breathing of anyone who saw this scene stopped for a moment.
Lin Xiuya's lips trembled, and the remaining hilt of the sword in his hand involuntarily loosened his hand and fell to the ground because of shock.
The hilt of the sword fell to the ground with a crisp sound, which also woke up the dazed Lin Xiuya.
"Gee... no, senior, senior..."
But when he came to his senses, Lin Ran was no longer in front of him.
Only a silver token was left, floating in front of Lin Xiuya.
"If you want to learn, go find me at Elder Su Qian's place at 3 p.m. tomorrow."
