Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 379 Xiao Yan’s Challenge

As the most grand event of Canaan College, the Strong Ranking Competition naturally has an extremely strict process.

Except for the top ten students in the inner courtyard, the remaining students need to draw lots first and be divided into groups of two to conduct the initial 'elimination round'.

After two rounds of elimination, the original forty top students were reduced to ten people, the same number as the top ten.

After reaching this point, students can take on the challenge on their own.

The top ten people on the strong list can challenge those who are ranked higher up from the bottom. Once successful, they will directly obtain the title of top ten in the competition and be qualified to enter the core of the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower for cultivation.

The students selected from the elimination round can also challenge the top ten on the strong list to qualify for the top ten of the competition.

In addition, if you feel that you are lucky, you can choose not to initiate a challenge during this period, and then enter the subsequent draw competition. If you are lucky enough to draw a student who is not among the top ten on the strong list, you can also successfully advance after winning.

Of course, drawing lots has its pros and cons. If you happen to draw someone who is too strong to be challenged by others, then you can imagine that your hope of advancing will become extremely slim.
Luck is part of strength, but strength is obviously the real basis for taking the initiative!
As the third on the Strong List, Xiao Yan naturally did not need to participate in the so-called elimination round. After cheering on the contestants Xun'er and Wu Hao from the audience, he returned to the competition seat and met with the top ten strongest people at the top of the seats.

"Haha, it seems that most of the top ten on this so-called strong list are actually old acquaintances."

Glancing at the seats in front of him, Xiao Yan's eyes flashed with a smile.

Lin Yan, Liu Qing, Lin Xiuya, and the little Zi Yan who followed him like a little shadow, had only been in the inner courtyard for a short year, but they were already acquainted with most of the top ten people on the strong list, and some of them even knew each other through fighting.

Fate is indeed a very wonderful thing.

When Xiao Yan calmly sat in the third position, Lin Xiuya and others also cast their eyes over to him. When their eyes met, they couldn't help but reveal deep praise.

"Haha, Junior Brother Xiao Yan, you're the first newcomer to sit in this seat since the establishment of Canaan Academy."

Lin Xiuya's words did not contain any hostility, and his temperament, like the pines and cypresses on the mountains, made everyone present feel as if they were bathed in the spring breeze.

Being able to be ranked second on the power list, Lin Xiuya is undoubtedly the absolute leader of Canaan Academy in terms of both strength and character. The 'Wolf Fang' gang has even surpassed the 'Liu Gang' and is recognized as the most powerful force in the inner courtyard.

"Senior Lin, thank you for your compliment."

Sitting safely on the third throne, Xiao Yan chuckled and said:
"Judging from the fluctuations in Senior's body, I'm afraid he's not far from becoming a Dou Wang. If he can achieve a breakthrough through the rewards after this conference, Dou Wang should be within his grasp."

"Haha, that also requires that opportunity. The barrier from Dou Ling to Dou Wang is not that easy to cross."

Lin Xiuya stretched out his hand, looking at the wisp of fighting spirit that seemed to be merging with the heaven and earth, yet was incompatible with it, and he could not help but shook his head helplessly.

"Everyone knows that reaching the Dou Wang realm requires controlling the power of heaven and earth and becoming one with them. However, only after actually putting it into practice do we realize just how incredibly difficult it is."

"If there is no opportunity, it may take several more years for me to break through."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed slightly. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly smiled faintly and said:
"Controlling the power of heaven and earth doesn't mean you have to actively merge your own Dou Qi with the outside world. If you can separate the Dou Qi into the acupoints, and then activate the internal skills, and draw the Dou Qi of heaven and earth into your body, you may gain new insights."

What Xiao Yan was talking about at this moment was naturally his own understanding of the power of heaven and earth.

After all, he had taken almost all the benefits from the Earth Core Tempering Milk incident, while the others had only gotten a small amount of benefit.

Although he was the one who fought the Snow Demon Ape alone in the end, if Lin Xiuya and others had not stimulated the opponent's demon beast bloodline, it would undoubtedly be impossible for him to obtain the Body Tempering Milk.

They were all inner court disciples, so if it could help him achieve his current breakthrough, Xiao Yan would naturally not be stingy with his knowledge. "Drawing the power of heaven and earth into the body?!"

Hearing this, Lin Xiuya's originally calm and handsome face was immediately replaced by a deep astonishment, and he asked in disbelief:

"Xiao Yan, how did you find out?"

"I was lucky enough to hear a Dou Wang master explain it before, and I just repeated it."

Xiao Yan touched his nose and answered without a single mistake: "As for right and wrong, senior, you can judge for yourself."

Hearing the concealment in the other party's words, even so, Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but reveal a hint of shock in his eyes.

Being able to sit at the third place on the power list at such a young age, and having such a deep understanding of the power of heaven and earth
This junior brother Xiao is really not simple!
Thoughts were turning in his mind. Even though Lin Xiuyi knew that the other party had no reason to deceive him, he had to carefully consider Xiao Yan's words. After all, when it came to cultivation, there was no room for carelessness.

However, just as the atmosphere turned silent, a hearty laugh suddenly came from a seat nearby.

"Lin Xiuya, you're still so cautious and timid. How boring! If I were you, I'd probably abandon this inner courtyard competition and go back to seclusion. Listening to this monster won't be a mistake."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan and the other two immediately turned their heads and looked at the towering figure standing beside them. A hint of surprise appeared on their faces.
"Uh, Senior Liu Qing?"

Hearing Xiao Yan's address, Liu Qing couldn't help but wave his hand and said jokingly, "Still calling me senior? Xiao Yan, with your current ranking, I should call you senior."

After saying that, the man moved his body slightly, turned around the half of his body that was almost taller than the seat, and revealed a teasing smile.

This extremely incongruous behavior immediately caused Xiao Yan's mouth to twitch, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart.

This Liu Qing is obviously not a serious person.
"Senior Liu, you're joking. Strength is strength, but with your seniority and age in the Inner Court, Xiao Yan doesn't think he can bear the title of 'Senior'."

Xiao Yan clasped his fists slightly towards the other party and gave a helpless smile.

"Tsk tsk, you are obviously more arrogant than anyone else when fighting, but you are overly humble on weekdays. You are really confusing." Liu Qing smacked his lips.

Listening quietly to the conversation between the two, Lin Xiuya frowned, obviously still savoring what Liu Qing had just said.

With his understanding of Liu Qing, he knew that even if he had a higher level of cultivation than Liu Qing, he would not be able to convince him, let alone actively praise him like this.
It's really strange things happening one after another.

"By the way, Brother Xiao, after the elimination round is over, do you have anyone you want to challenge?"

Liu Qing extended his fist and stood in front of Xiao Yan. "Let me make it clear first. If you don't have it, I will challenge you again."

Hearing this, Lin Xiuya's heart moved, and he also looked in the direction of Liu Qing with curiosity.

There was silence for a while.

In the expectant eyes of the two, Xiao Yan took a deep breath, smiled, and suddenly collided with Liu Qing's outstretched arm.
"secret."

The fists collided with each other, followed by a crisp and unrestrained sound.
