Chapter 292 Inner Court Selection Competition
In the huge bluestone square, countless students from Canaan College pushed their heads into the seats in the square. Looking from the stands, all they could see was a sea of darkness and a roar that reached the sky.
The square is circular in shape, with stone steps extending upwards around it, shaped like a colosseum.
In the center of the square, a man and a woman were intertwined, and ripples of energy were constantly generated when their palms touched.
However, the people watching on the stage all fixed their eyes on the woman in the light blue dress, and kept waving their arms and cheering for her.
The two figures collided again. The green-clothed woman's palms shone with golden light, which brought up a ray of light and accurately imprinted on the young man's chest. The powerful force directly shook the young man out of the battle circle.
"Senior, thank you for letting me!" After repelling the enemy, the girl in green smiled faintly.
"Junior sister Xun'er is really powerful. Even if I didn't use my full strength, I still couldn't last more than ten moves!" said the young man with a wry smile.
"In this round, Xiao Xun'er wins!" the referee on the podium shouted loudly.
As soon as the referee finished speaking, the students in the stands shouted excitedly.
Almost everyone in the outer courtyard knows Xiao Xun'er. She is not only as beautiful as a fairy but also well-educated and well-mannered. More importantly, her talent is beyond doubt. No one in the outer courtyard can be Xiao Xun'er's opponent. No matter who it is, it is difficult to last more than thirty moves at Xiao Xun'er's hands.
Of course, this was the case when Xiao Xun'er didn't use her full strength. If she had used her full strength, she would probably have been defeated in three moves at most.
But this girl would keep muttering about Xiao Yan every day, almost going crazy, and she would not allow anyone to say anything bad about Xiao Yan.
At the beginning, Bai Shan thought he was gifted, and when Xiao Xun'er was angry and complained about Xiao Yan, Bai Shan supported her, but was beaten seriously by Xiao Xun'er.
So in the academy, there are two people you cannot offend, one is Xiao Xun'er, and the other is the non-existent Xiao Yan.
"In the next match, Xue Beng from the Xuan class three will face Xiao Yan from the Huang class two!" The referee shouted again after Xiao Xun'er stepped down.
As the referee finished speaking, the originally noisy square suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked around, wanting to see Xiao Yan, who they had only heard of but never seen.
Xiao Xun'er looked back and forth in the square, feeling very nervous. Although what Xiao Yan did made her very angry, her heart was still as anxious as if it was being scratched by a cat.
"Oh! That brat hasn't come this year? You even asked me to help him sign up, but he doesn't care at all!" Teacher Ruolin sighed when she saw Xiao Xun'er's anxious look.
"Is such a cowardly man worthy of Xun'er? It would be fine if you don't show up! If you show up, I will definitely destroy you!" The young man in white shirt saw that Xiao Xun'er was worried about that man again, and the fire of jealousy in his heart suddenly burned.
"Is this the person Xun'er has been thinking about? He's basically a turtle! He doesn't even dare to show his head!" The girl in a red dress leaned against an iron pipe, her enchanting and graceful curves were extremely attractive, and she pouted her lips and said.
"Little witch, sit down straight. How can you behave like this in public?" a white-haired old man shouted.
"Hmph! You are the vice-president! Xiao Yan hasn't been here for two years, why don't you expel him!" said the girl with a cold snort.
"Haha, expel?" The white-haired old man laughed at himself. Ever since he saw Xiao Yan's information, the shock in his heart has never stopped.
At the age of eighteen, he has created a heavenly-level fighting skill and is also a seventh-rank alchemist, one rank higher than the Fire Elder of their academy. Would he dare to expel such a person?
Even if Xiao Yan never comes, as long as he is included in the list, it will be fine. "Is Xiao Yan here?" The referee saw that only Xue Beng was on the field, so he could only shout helplessly.
As soon as the referee finished speaking, the square became quiet again, and everyone's eyes turned to the entrance of the square, wanting to see if Xiao Yan would show up.
However, there was one exception. A young man was sitting on the seat with his right hand supporting his head. He was snoring loudly, and drool was flowing down his mouth, which attracted the disgust of people around him.
"Xiao Yan..." Seeing no one answered, the referee had to shout again.
"Huh? Are you calling me?" The sleeping young man opened his sleepy eyes, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and looked at the referee on the podium.
"Xiao Yan from Yellow Class Two..." Seeing that Xiao Yan really didn't come, the referee shook his head helplessly and prepared to call the next group.
"Here! Yellow Class 2, Xiao Yan is here!" Xiao Yan stood up and shouted with his hand raised.
The people in the square were slightly startled when they heard this somewhat lazy voice, and they all looked towards the source of the sound.
The person who raised his hand was yawning, his body was shaking, his face was greasy, his hair was messy, and his clothes were untidy.
"Is this Xiao Yan? Is this the guy Xiao Yan?" The students of Canaan Academy asked themselves soul-searching questions in their hearts. This was very different from the Xiao Yan they had imagined. He looked no different from a beggar on the street.
The vice-president and several elders on the podium were also slightly stunned when they saw Xiao Yan. The Xiao Yan in front of them was very different from the Xiao Yan in their minds.
In fact, Xiao Yan became like this because he had been too pretentious before. Even with his soul damaged, he still dared to use the Three-Point Return to Origin Qi.
It wasn't a big deal at the time, but when I went to bed at night, something was wrong. I had a terrible headache and couldn't sleep.
Xiao Yan, who had not slept all night, was afraid of missing the inner courtyard assessment, so he ran directly to Canaan College without even having time to wash up, and then squeezed into the competition square. He looked around but did not see Xun'er, and he happened to feel sleepy, so he fell asleep in his seat.
"Damn it! I should have stopped pretending to be so cool. My head still hurts now!" Xiao Yan rubbed his head and walked down the stairs in the surprised gaze of everyone.
"Brother Xiao Yan's soul is so badly damaged?" Xun'er felt extremely distressed when she saw Xiao Yan's appearance, and her eyes turned red.
After Xiao Yan walked to the square, he raised his head and scanned continuously, trying to spot Xun'er. Because his soul was damaged, Xiao Yan did not dare to use his soul power to explore at will, so he could only check with his naked eyes.
"Are you Xiao Yan?" Just when Xiao Yan had searched for a while without success, a deep voice suddenly came from behind him.
Xiao Yan looked back and found a man behind him holding a spear, looking at him with a bad face.
"Yes! Do you know where Xun'er is?" Xiao Yan nodded and asked.
"You are not worthy of Miss Xun'er!" Xue Beng originally thought that Xiao Yan was a handsome young man, and his strength would not be too weak. However, the Xiao Yan in front of him did not even have any fighting spirit, and was obviously a useless person. How could such a person be worthy of Xun'er.
"Is this Xiao Yan? Could we be mistaken?" The woman in red looked at Xiao Yan as if he were a greasy uncle. How could such a man be worthy of Xun'er?
“I originally thought Xiao Yan was some kind of young talent, but this is all?” The man in white shirt looked at Xiao Yan with disdain.
