Chapter 299 Mysterious Library

In the spacious and bright room, bookshelves are crisscrossed and filled with various books.

In the center of the room, five people were standing quietly. Behind the desk in front of them, a white-haired old man was flipping through the book in his hand.

"Now that you are all here, let's set off! The top five in each selection competition are eligible to enter the library to try their luck. Come with me!" Hu Qian came to the wall behind him and tapped it lightly a few times. After a dull sound, a dark passage appeared in front of them.

After walking for nearly half an hour, they finally walked out of the passage and came to the center of a valley groove. They found a huge pavilion not far away with three big words "Book Collection Pavilion" written on the plaque of the pavilion.

When Hu Qian and his five companions were about 20 meters away from the library, they stopped, clasped their fists and shouted towards the library, "The top five candidates for this inner court selection competition have been announced. According to the rules, I brought them here. Please open the door!"

As Hu Qian's voice continued to float back and forth in the valley, two gray-robed men sitting cross-legged on the ground suddenly appeared in front of the door of the library.

"Are these two the true guardians of Canaan Academy? They are much stronger than Yunshan and Jia Xingtian!" Xiao Yan said with emotion after sizing up the gray-robed man in front of him.

Xiao Yan's actions naturally could not be hidden from the two guards. They raised their eyelids and looked at Xiao Yan. After looking him up and down, they showed an incredible expression and exclaimed: "What a horrible body! And the soul power is not weak either, but the soul is a little seriously damaged!"

"My name is Xiao Yan, nice to meet you two elders!" Xiao Yan bowed to the two grey-robed men in front of him. After all, he wanted to ask these two to be kind and get some good things for him later!
“Haha, I don’t deserve that. If you recover your soul power, you will be at least a seventh-rank alchemist, and you will also have a strange fire in your body. What’s more, you are a very rare physical cultivator, and you have cultivated your mortal body to the level comparable to a sixth-rank magical beast. It’s really embarrassing!” The two gray-robed men became more and more shocked the more they looked at you, and exclaimed in admiration.

Upon hearing this, everyone except Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er showed expressions of horror. His physical body was comparable to that of a sixth-level magical beast. This was too terrifying.

Hu Jia subconsciously looked at his grandfather Hu Qian. If Xiao Yan's physical body was really equivalent to that of a sixth-rank magical beast, then how could his grandfather be Xiao Yan's opponent without using his fighting spirit?

When Hu Qian saw Hu Jia looking at him, his eyes were somewhat evasive.

Seeing his grandfather like this, Hu Jia wondered how he didn't know about the previous match. It was obvious that his grandfather lost, and Xiao Yan was just considering his grandfather's face.

"Please open the space lock and let the top five of this session enter the library!" In order to ease the embarrassment, Hu Qian had to say respectfully to the two gray-robed elders.

"Haha, the top five this year are very good!" Hearing this, the two elders smiled, stretched out their wrinkled hands, and slowly began to make seals.

As the two elders continued to form seals, ripples like water waves surged rapidly less than half a meter away from Hu Qian, and after a moment, a hole appeared.

"Now you can enter the library on your own! Remember, everything inside is layered with energy. If your hands can pass through the energy layers without any hindrance, it means you can take away the things inside. If you can't, it proves that you are not destined to have that thing. Give up as soon as possible and choose other things. Of course, no matter how many things you get, you can only take one thing away in the end. Don't be greedy, otherwise you will end up with nothing!" Hu Qian gave serious instructions to Xiao Yan and the others.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan and the others nodded and headed towards the library. The library slowly closed as Xiao Yan and the others entered.

It took the group about ten minutes to walk through a dark passage and arrive at a large room. There were nearly a dozen energy shields on the walls of the room.

"There seems to be nothing in this room!" Xiao Yu looked at the empty room and couldn't help but wonder.

"You can ask Hu Jia about this! As the granddaughter of the vice-president, the vice-president must have told her some useful information!" Xiao Yan asked Hu Jia with a smile on his face.

"Hmph! So what if I know? I won't tell you!" Hu Jia crossed her arms across her chest, obviously not planning to tell Xiao Yan.

"You guys look for the brightest ones in the light shields, and I'll help you find something suitable!" Xiao Yan turned to Xun'er and Xiao Yu. "You! You haven't been to the academy for a few days, how can you know so much?" Hu Jia looked at Xiao Yan in surprise. She had just heard the news from Hu Qian last night.

"Why should I tell you?" Xiao Yan looked at Hu Jia and asked.

"You..." Hu Jia could imagine that with Xiao Yan's strength, these good things would be left for Xiao Yan to choose.

Suddenly, a ball of dazzling blue light shot out rapidly from the light shield. Xiao Yan was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He leaped up and grabbed the ball of light. He reached his hand in and took it out. He found that it was a magic core.

"A sixth-level water-attribute magic core, not bad! What a pity!" Xiao Yan took a look and threw it away.

After the water-attributed magic core turned into a ball of blue light and flew away, a dozen light shields began to continuously emit balls of light of various colors.

Xiao Yan always chose the one with the brightest light. The other four were not idle either, and they also made their choices quickly.

"Burning Heaven Art, advanced earth rank!"

"Xun'er, this Earth-level technique is just right for you to use!" Xiao Yan threw the Earth-level technique directly to Xun'er.

"Advanced Earth Grade! This is probably the most advanced fire-attributed technique in the academy!" Hu Jia looked at Xun'er with envy. She had been snatching for a long time but only got a scroll of Advanced Profound Grade.

"Brother Xiao Yan doesn't need it?" Xun'er asked doubtfully.

"The technique I practice is quite special, so I can't use it!" Xiao Yan explained.

After Xiao Yan gave the Burning Heaven Art to Xun'er, he began to help Xiao Yu find a technique suitable for her. Because Xiao Yu's fighting spirit was of water attribute, Xiao Yan only looked at the blue light ball.

After Xiao Yan grabbed a few dazzling blue light balls, he reached in and began to search one by one. Finally, he found a volume of a fairly high-level earth-level martial arts technique.

"Breaking Waves Technique! Low Earth Rank!"

"Cousin Xiao Yu, I'm sorry. I've been searching for a long time but could only find a low-level Earth-rank scroll. You should just practice it!" Xiao Yan said as he threw the Breaking Waves Art to Xiao Yu.

Hearing this, Hu Jia and Wu Hao, who were still trying hard to snatch the ball of light, suddenly felt jealous. Since when did the earth-level martial arts become so cheap?

"Thank you!" Xiao Yu put away the Breaking Waves Art and said with gratitude. Originally, she needed another year to be qualified to enter the inner courtyard, but she didn't expect that because of Xiao Yan, she could be qualified earlier.

Xiao Yan was still so diligent in helping Xiao Yu find the Earth-level martial arts technique, which caused Xiao Yu's already suppressed inner emotions to burst out again.

"Cousin Xiao Yan, don't just focus on us, you should also find what you need. By the way, Xun'er and I can help you find what you need." Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Yan and said.
