Compared to Xun'er who was gritting her teeth, Lin Ran was extremely relaxed after enjoying the unparalleled beauty.
One cannot help but sigh at the power of Gu Yuan. Canaan College is far away from Yunlan Sect, but Lin Ran was able to forcibly transfer across such a distance using the means left by Gu Yuan.
I have to sigh, this might be the method used by the strong who stand at the top of the continent!
"See you at the border battlefield."
After using the Holy Jade Token to communicate with Yun Yun, Lin Ran started to stroll around Canaan College. However, before he had taken two steps, several powerful figures rushed out from the college and appeared in front of Lin Ran in the blink of an eye. Judging from the badges on their chests, they were obviously some elders of the college.
"Who are you... uh, Sect Master Lin, how come you have time to come to the academy?"
An old and powerful voice sounded from behind, and then an energetic old man strode out with the gait of a dragon or a tiger. When the elders around saw him, they hurriedly made way for him.
However, the moment he saw Lin Ran, the old man's aura suddenly weakened, and he even smiled apologetically and was extremely respectful.
"Dean Hu, you're joking. As a guest elder hired by the academy and a professor, isn't it normal for me to appear in the academy?" Lin Ran raised his eyebrows slightly and spoke calmly.
"Of course I should, but I didn't expect Sect Master Lin... No, Elder Lin would come to my outer courtyard. Come on, come on, come to my place and have a cup of tea."
Hu Qian smiled apologetically.
He unexpectedly felt a strong aura in the courtyard, so he rushed over immediately, but he didn't expect it to be Lin Ran.
Lin Ran not only has Dou Zun strength, but also has a fierce reputation in the entire Black Horn Region. Even the Great Elder Su Qian and the two guardians dare not provoke him. How dare he, a mere vice-president with the strength of a Dou Huang peak, provoke this great Buddha? !
"President Hu is really polite. Since President Hu invites me like this, I will respectfully obey your order."
Lin Ran accepted the invitation with a smile, but Hu Qian's expression paused slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
In fact, he really just wanted to say a few polite words. After all, a strong man like Lin Ran must be busy with all kinds of things. How could he really have the time to drink tea with him? As a result, Lin Ran actually agreed.
Hu Qian was slightly embarrassed, but he couldn't take back what he had said. Under the smirking eyes of the other elders, he took Lin Ran and walked towards the dean's office in the outer courtyard.
Compared with the inner courtyard, the outer courtyard is obviously more lively and has more people.
Although the students here are not as strong as those in the inner courtyard, they are younger and more energetic.
After walking a few steps, Lin Ran noticed a group of people gathered together. The noisy voices were shaking the earth, and there was even more fighting spirit among them.
"Elder Lin, you may not know that today is the inner courtyard selection competition of our academy. These little guys are also trying their best to compete for a place in the inner courtyard."
Seeing that Lin Ran was somewhat interested, Hu Qian immediately introduced Lin Ran: "Of course, the strength of these little guys is very average. To you, Elder Lin, they are just children playing house."
The strongest person in the inner courtyard selection competition is only at the level of a Grand Fighting Master. To Lin Ran, a Fighting Master, this is indeed just a child's play.
"Interesting."
Lin Ran's eyes moved and swept past lightly.
This inner courtyard selection competition is obviously a major event for the outer courtyard. The courtyard management has already prepared the largest square in the college as a backup, but it is still packed with people.
Countless students from Canaan College pushed their way into the seats in the square. Looking from the stands, all they saw were a sea of heads and the roar of noise that reached the sky.
This huge square is circular in shape. Around the square, stone stairs continue to extend upwards. The shape is like a colosseum. The crowd sitting around the square can clearly see the entire square.
At this moment, in the square, two figures, one male and one female, flashed across each other. The fierce fighting spirit that burst out when their palms touched caused exclamations to burst out from the surrounding stands from time to time. However, it was obvious that most of the eyes in the stands were fixed on the light and graceful figure in a light green dress, with her delicate body flashing.
The two figures crossed paths again in a dangerous situation, but the light blue figure suddenly paused. Golden light shone brightly between her palms, and a ray of light was accurately imprinted on the chest of the young man. The powerful force directly shocked the latter out of the battle circle.
"Senior, thank you for letting me!"
After repelling the enemy, the girl in green smiled slightly, bowed and performed a perfect courtesy towards the handsome man.
"Xun'er is indeed the most promising student of this class. I lost."
Although he was defeated, the handsome man was straightforward. He smiled, took a deep look at the green-clothed girl who was as refreshing as a green lotus, and then left in a carefree manner.
"In this round, Xiao Xun'er wins!"
Yes, the one performing on the stage at this moment was Xun'er, whose meridians had just been warmed up by Lin Ran!
"So the important thing is this inner courtyard selection competition..."
Lin Ran murmured and let out a soft chuckle.
In the original novel, Xiao Yan took a two-year leave and attended the inner courtyard selection at the last minute and successfully entered the inner courtyard, stealing the show.
Unfortunately, as far as Lin Ran knew, Xiao Yan should have just arrived at the Tagor Desert to look for Xiao Li, so he naturally could not come to the inner courtyard selection.
"That girl's name is Xiao Xun'er, she's from Teacher Ruolin's class..." Following Lin Ran's line of sight, Hu Qian spoke in a low voice and was about to introduce her, but Lin Ran waved his hand casually: "I know, we're old acquaintances."
"Well..."
Hu Qian scratched his head, feeling a little confused.
He knew that Xun'er's identity was mysterious and far from being as simple as it seemed, but he didn't expect that Lin Ran had known Xun'er for a long time.
Sure enough, the strong ones had already been in contact with each other...
"I remember that the top five contestants of the inner courtyard selection will be able to go to our college's library to choose a destined item, right?" Lin Ran suddenly spoke up while looking at Xun'er who was chatting and laughing with several beautiful women around her.
Hu Qian was slightly stunned, then nodded.
"Yes, Elder Lin. Every year, the top five contestants in the inner court selection competition will have a chance to enter the library. This is why there are so many people participating in our inner court selection competition."
"It's a good reward mechanism. It can indeed motivate these little guys better."
Lin Ran nodded and praised: "I am very busy and I really can't take care of the things in the academy... How about this, I will also leave some things in the library as prizes to encourage these little guys?"
Hearing this, Hu Qian was slightly stunned, and then he was overjoyed.
Although there are many treasures in the library, they are still limited.
Things like natural treasures, once gone, are truly gone.
As for the martial arts and fighting skills, although they can be re-engraved, the cost of engraving each time is extremely huge. For example, martial arts and fighting skills above the earth level require extremely strong soul power.
Lin Ran is a Dou Zun warrior and the leader of Shengyu Sect. He is extremely strong in both strength and background.
Apart from anything else, the current Shengyu Sect is the number one sect in the entire Black Horn Region. If Lin Ran is willing to put some martial arts or other treasures in the library, it will definitely be a huge addition to the library!
"Thank you, Elder Lin. I will go to the two guardians later..."
"Old man, why are you here? Why don't you go and be the referee for the tryouts?"
Along with a delicate cry, a young girl spoke to Hu Qian in an unpleasant tone.
It was a girl in a red dress, with her arms crossed over her chest and her back leaning against an iron pipe. Her enchanting curves were made even more attractive by the straight iron pipe.
"Little devil, sit down right now. How dare you be so presumptuous in public?" Hu Qian saw her posture and her unique words, and he couldn't help but puff his beard in anger. At the same time, he looked at Lin Ran beside him and whispered, "This is my granddaughter, her name is Hu Jia."
Lin Ran raised his eyebrows slightly, looked Hu Jia up and down, and nodded calmly: "His aptitude is slightly inferior, but if he is trained well, he may become a Dou Huang or Dou Zong."
Lin Ran didn't deliberately raise or lower his voice, but Hu Jia still heard it, and immediately snorted: "Look, you're not much older than me... Uh-huh!"
Before Hu Jia finished speaking, Hu Qian, who was standing next to Lin Ran, rushed to Hu Jia's side, pressed his hands tightly on Hu Jia's mouth, and then said to Lin Ran with a smile on his face: "Don't blame me, Elder Lin. I neglected to discipline my granddaughter, so she is so outspoken. Don't blame me, don't blame me..."
"But, can my granddaughter really hope to become a Dou Zong?!"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Hu Qian's face was full of hope.
He has been practicing for a long time and has been stuck at the peak of Douhuang, but has never been able to break through to Douzong.
If his granddaughter could surpass him and break through to the Dou Zong level, then his extravagant hopes and wishes could be realized in Hu Jia.
"Well, if you go to the inner courtyard to train your heart fire body, it will be no problem for you to become a Douhuang." Lin Ran looked at Hu Jia again and said with a sigh, "As for Douzong, if you have some opportunities, it is not impossible."
"Opportunity..."
As soon as these words were spoken, Hu Qian's expression changed and he murmured.
Opportunities are extremely rare for fighters, and are almost impossible for ordinary people to encounter, let alone opportunities that can allow people to break through to the Dou Zong level... Wait!
Opportunities!
Hu Qian suddenly raised his head and looked at Lin Ran with shining eyes.
How could he forget this big Buddha!
A Dou Zong expert is an extremely powerful existence to him, to Canaan Academy, and to the entire Black Horn Region. It is extremely difficult to break through.
But for Lin Ran, it meant nothing.
After all, this person is a real Dou Zun powerful master!
A high-level fighter only needs to give a little guidance to a low-level fighter in order to significantly improve the latter's cultivation.
Even though Hu Qian was in the outer courtyard, he had heard of the names of the two 'genius girls' who had just entered the inner courtyard. According to Su Qian, the future achievements of the two girls would not be lower than his, and they would at least be Dou Zong-level powerhouses, or even higher.
Even if Hu Jia's talent is not as good as those two, if she can also get Lin Ran's guidance...
Hu Qian's fiery gaze gave Lin Ran goose bumps. No one could stand being stared at by an old guy with such a fiery gaze.
"Ahem…"
Hu Qian chuckled and rubbed his hands: "Elder Lin, I have a favor to ask..."
"Dean Hu, please feel free to speak. I am an elder in the academy. If I can help, I will certainly not refuse." Lin Ran said calmly.
"Elder Lin, look, although my granddaughter is a little bit impulsive, she is also quite smart. Can you give her some pointers on the path of cultivation?"
After saying that, Hu Qian looked at Lin Ran with anticipation.
Lin Ran frowned slightly, and looked at Hu Jia for a moment, then said thoughtfully: "I have been practicing for so long and still don't have a disciple. Forget about your granddaughter... It's okay to accept a disciple. There's no problem with giving her some pointers."
"Okay, okay, that's great!"
Hu Qian laughed heartily, and happily released his hand that was covering Hu Jia. He said to Hu Jia with a smile: "Did you hear that, little witch? Why don't you thank Elder Lin quickly!"
"Lin, Elder Lin...thank you." Hu Jia looked at Lin Ran and his grandfather with some suspicion, not believing it at all.
Elder?
So young?
Moreover, his grandfather was the vice-president, and ordinary elders usually had to listen to him, but Hu Qian's attitude towards Elder Lin was completely different.
Could it be that this guy really has some skills?
"The next match is between Xuan-level Class 1 Hu Jia and... the Law Enforcement Team, Wu Hao!"
In the venue, as the referee's names sounded, figures kept flashing onto the stage. After a battle that was either fierce or dull, the winners were excited, while the losers left the venue with dejected faces.
Suddenly, Hu Jia's name was called. Lin Ran raised his head slightly and happened to see a figure wrapped in a blood-red robe. Suddenly, like a ghost, he appeared on the stage very abruptly.
When he saw this person, Lin Ran's eyes lit up.
If such a strong blood and murderous aura is cultivated, he will definitely be a good player who is not inferior to Lin Xiuya and others!
"How did this competition get arranged? I actually have to fight this lunatic..." Hu Jia's beautiful face became a little gloomy after seeing the blood-robed figure appear.
In the outer courtyard of Canaan College, the person she feared the most, apart from Xun'er, who was calm in temperament but had unfathomable strength, was the man in front of her with a bloody aura.
She had no way of dealing with this guy's crazy attack methods. Her chances of winning against him were pitifully low.
"Well, it seems like it's your turn to be called. Come up and show me what you can do." Lin Ran said calmly.
"Go ahead, would I be afraid of him?"
Hu Jia's face froze slightly, but he still snorted lightly, took out a long whip from the ring, jumped up, and landed on the ring.
