Xiao Ming, who left Elder Huo's residence, also headed to the office building.
I found Instructor Ge Hu who was in the office.
Tell him about your return.
Ge Hu was very happy to see Xiao Ming back safe and sound, and told him to have a good rest and prepare for the inner court selection tomorrow.
Xiao Ming nodded repeatedly.
After chatting for a while, Xiao Ming spent the whole morning like this.
…
the next day.
Xiao Ming finished washing and went from his residence to the location of the inner courtyard selection competition.
Along the way, Xiao Ming saw many young men and women wearing Canaan College uniforms traveling with him, and each of them had excitement on their faces.
Obviously very interested in this annual inner court selection competition.
Especially those first-year students who have just entered Canaan College.
This is their first time to watch the inner court selection competition. Although they cannot participate, they can also increase their knowledge and see the talents from all over the world. Therefore, their faces are almost overflowing with anticipation for the upcoming competition. come out.
"Cousin Xiao Ming!"
Xiao Ming, who was walking, suddenly heard a honest shout. He turned his head slightly and saw a thick-shouldered guy smiling and waving to him not far away.
This person is Xiao Shan, a member of the Xiao family who came to Canaan College with Xiao Ming.
Not only Xiao Ming heard the cry, but other students also heard it and started looking around.
"Xiao Ming? Is it Xiao Ming, the first genius of Canaan College?"
"Besides this Xiao Ming, is there any other Xiao Ming? I heard that Senior Xiao Ming has been in the hospital for two years, and his cultivation level has surpassed that of many senior seniors, and his alchemy skills have reached the third level!"
"Senior Xiao Ming is still the favorite to win this year's inner court selection!"
"Where is he? I haven't seen him yet. Let me see what he looks like?"
"That's the one with the hat!"
…
Turning a blind eye to the performance of the students around him, Xiao Ming stopped and waited for Xiao Shan to catch up with him, and the two of them walked side by side.
"Cousin Xiaoshan, didn't I tell you not to call me so loudly in the academy?"
Xiao Ming said with a helpless smile.
Xiao Ming didn't know much about Xiao Shan's cousin at first, but after getting to know him more, Xiao Ming found that Xiao Shan was quite silly sometimes.
He also has rough lines in his work. Xiao Ming doesn't like to attract attention, so he often wears a hat when he is out. But in front of people who know him, the hat is no different from not wearing it.
Xiao Shan would often recognize him at a glance and call him by his name from afar.
And when Xiaoshan calls, he will enjoy the attention of others for a period of time.
Xiao Ming once advised Xiao Shan not to make noise in public places, but it couldn't be said that it had no effect. The distance between Xiao Shan's calls to him became shorter, but it was still so loud.
Xiao Ming had no choice but to do this.
In fact, this kind of character of Xiao Shan was reflected when they first met. That time Xiao Shan also shouted his name very loudly.
As if to reflect his personality, when he was first admitted, his originally relatively well-proportioned figure actually turned into a muscular hunk in less than two years.
"Haha, I will pay attention next time." The sturdy Xiao Shan touched his head and responded with a smile.
Seeing Xiao Shan's naive look, Xiao Ming rolled his eyes, but didn't say anything. Instead, he asked, "Have you signed up for the inner court selection this time?"
"No, my strength is still too weak. I need at least a six-star Dou Shi in the trials to have a chance of entering the top 50. I'm still far behind." Xiao Shan responded with a look of disappointment on his face.
Hearing this, Xiao Ming used his soul power to sense Xiao Shan's realm.
Nine Star Fighter.
It's really much different.
Xiao Shan's talent is not outstanding in Canaan College. He was able to break through from the ninth level of fighting spirit to the nine-star fighter in two years. This is the result of Xiao Ming giving him a lot of resources.
Otherwise, the level may be even lower.
Of course, Xiao Shan is only eighteen years old now. The eighteen-year-old Dou Zhe Jiuxing is an incredible existence in the Jiajia Empire. If Xiao Shan chooses to return to the Xiao family, he will also receive key training, but that training is not as good as that of Jia Ji. A little bit of South College.
"The outer college of Canaan College only has a three-year semester. If you cannot participate in the inner college selection competition and enter the inner college this time, you can only apply to repeat the grade. Repeating a grade requires preparing a large sum of money. Are you ready? Or do you want to go back to your family to be with you? parents."
"This...I want to stay in school, but my parents are just ordinary tribesmen, and their cultivation level is not as high as mine, so the money is not ready. However, my father has applied for funds from the tribe, and I think there should be no problem with the funds."
Seeing that Xiao Shan had a plan, Xiao Ming nodded without saying anything more.
If Xiao Shan chooses to return to the Xiao family, it can only be said that he is short-sighted. Fortunately, although Xiao Shan is usually a bit naive, he is not really stupid and knows what to do to his benefit.
As for Xiao Shan's parents not having that much money, he also knew that. He heard Xiao Shan mention that his parents were members of the tribe who had not reached the seventh level of fighting spirit during the coming-of-age ceremony of the previous generation and were sent out to manage the family property.
Naturally, it is impossible to be rich. Xiao Ming originally planned to sponsor him a little, but now it seems that he is not needed. The Xiao family can still get the money.
"By the way, after this inner court selection, cousin Xiao Ming, you should be able to enter the inner court, right?"
Suddenly, Xiao Shan asked with envy on his face.
"Haha, it should be possible."
Xiao Ming was noncommittal about this.
"Hey, then I will be the only one left in the outer courtyard." Xiao Shan said.
"Then practice hard and I'll wait for you in the inner courtyard."
When it comes to the fact that the Xiao family members are at Canaan College, Xiao Ming is speechless. In the entire Xiao family, only Xiao Ming and Xiao Shan are at Canaan College.
Apart from Xiao Ming, he is the only one in Xiaoshan's age group.
That's not to say that the generation of the Xiao family and Xiao Shan are not good. The Xiao family also has Xiao Ding, who is one year older than Xiao Shan, and Xiao Li, who is one year younger.
These two guys have good talents, but they don't know why they don't come to Canaan Academy.
Xiao Ming was speechless regarding the choice of Xiao Yan's two brothers.
Isn't this crazy?
If the two of them arrived at Canaan College, for the sake of their fellow clansmen, he would not ignore them.
I can't help but improve my cultivation faster than in Wutan City.
Hey, like a demon, he just doesn’t come to Canaan College.
As for why Xiao Ming was at Canaan College, he knew that Xiao Li was only willing to stay at the Xiao family and was not willing to come to Canaan College.
This is what Xiaoshan said. Xiaoshan signed up for this year's enrollment in order to contribute some points and go back home.
Xiao Shan told Xiao Ming about this when he came back.
Anyway, when Xiao Ming knew this, his face was very wonderful.
No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't think of a reason why he couldn't.
Didn't Xiao Shan tell the Xiao family that he was already a third-grade alchemist?
It's impossible even if you think about it.
There is no benefit in hiding such a thing.
Shaking his head, he took out a small jade bottle from Najie and threw it to Xiao Shan.
"Here is the Three-Line Qingling Pill. You can take it when you break through to Dou Shi. After taking it, your realm can increase by three stars. With this pill, I believe you can enter the inner courtyard next year."
He hurriedly took the medicine bottle thrown by Xiao Ming. When he heard that the medicine was so powerful, Xiao Shan's hands trembled for a while, then handed it back to Xiao Ming, and said in a trembling voice: "Although I don't know what grade this medicine is, But it must be very precious. I have received a lot of help from you, cousin, and I cannot accept this medicine."
Xiao Ming did not expect that Xiao Shan would actually hand it back. Pills that can directly improve cultivation are very tempting to cultivators.
If he gave this medicine to the elders of the Xiao family, they would probably accept it immediately, with at most a polite word or two.
"Xiao Shan is still too young." Looking at Xiao Shan's unwillingness to give it up, Xiao Ming laughed inwardly.
"Take it. Each person can only take one of the three-pattern Qingling Pill. I have already used it once and it no longer works for me. It is considered waste for you."
Xiao Shan was silent as he held the medicine bottle in his hand.
What about using waste? Although Xiao Shan is usually a bit naive, he is not really stupid. This kind of thing is worth a lot of money when sold, so how can it be waste.
I just said this to make him feel at ease to accept the elixir.
Thinking of this, Xiao Shan's eyes were a little moist and his voice was a little hoarse.
"In that case, I'll accept it."
Xiao Ming noticed Xiao Shan's strangeness and suddenly couldn't help but smile. How could he still not control his emotions despite being such an adult.
However, the reason why he cultivated Xiao Shan in this way was not because of this aspect of Xiao Shan.
If Xiao Shan accepted the elixir without any hesitation and didn't feel any gratitude at all, then he would have to consider whether it was worth training him.
After all, his original purpose of training Xiao Shan was just to give the Xiao family more masters and more self-protection capabilities. After all, he would definitely spend very little time in the Xiao family in the future.
The value of training by those old people is not as good as that of young people. Xiaoshan is the nearest clan member and has some talent, so he will train him.
If he wanted to cultivate a white-eyed wolf, he might as well feed those resources to the dog, and then tie the dog to the Xiao family to guard the gate.
That would probably be more useful than training white-eyed wolves.
Xiao Shan was a little silent after receiving the elixir.
After all, they are still members of the same clan. The two have established a deep relationship in Canaan College for two years. In addition, due to Xiao Shan's personality, they have returned to normal after a while.
The two started chatting as they walked.
At the end of the chat, Xiao Ming suddenly remembered something and handed Xiao Shan a ring.
He also told Xiao Shan that after entering the inner courtyard, he would not return to the family so soon, and asked Xiao Shan to convey the news to the family. The items in the Najie were all for the family, and asked Xiao Shan to bring them to the clan leader and elders the next time he returned to the family. them.
Because it was for the family, Xiao Shan did not refuse, but accepted it, and promised that he would hand it over to the family without fail.
…
Canaan College is very large, and the two of them walked for a long time, and finally entered the square where the inner court selection competition was held amidst the crowds of people.
