Chapter 69: Collusion in the Dark!
Hu Qian noticed the contemplative expression on Xiao Ze's face and couldn't help but speak up.
"Little guy, are you interested in this Dou Technique?"
Xiao Ze hesitated for a moment but nodded.
After all, the whereabouts of the second part of this Dou Technique should be clear to Vice Dean Hu Qian.
After a brief hesitation and a glance at the two elders, Hu Qian sighed and spoke slowly.
"The Dean personally intervened and divided this Dou Technique perfectly. Even Elders at the peak of their cultivation would find it difficult to detect. It seems you truly have a connection with this Dou Technique."
"Moreover, it's okay for you to try cultivating it because the second part of this Dou Technique is in the hands of the Grand Elder."
"If you encounter any problems while cultivating it, you can ask for his help."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ze gratefully bowed to Hu Qian.
Then he realized that the Vice Dean hadn't mentioned how he could contact the Grand Elder.
"Vice Dean, how should I contact the Grand Elder?"
"No need for you to go; I'll personally talk to him. It's been a while since I last saw the Grand Elder anyway."
Hu Qian waved his hand and then checked the time before saying to Xiao Ze, "Alright, little guy, your team of four has delayed for a while. Hurry up and go in."
"Through this Flame Hunt Grand Competition, you'll get used to the living environment of the inner courtyard. But for you, little guy, it should be like a fish in water, right?"
"I'll do my best to adapt," Xiao Ze replied.
Not wanting to dwell on it further, Xiao Ze bid farewell to Hu Qian and the two elders before leading the three girls towards the forest.
Seeing Xiao Ze's group leave, Elder Lin said to Hu Qian, "Old buddy, aren't you going to the inner courtyard soon?"
"Haha, no rush. After the inner courtyard selection ends, the affairs of the outer courtyard will be quieter, and I can stay a little longer."
"It's just as well to see what kind of amazing actions that little guy will make in the Flame Hunt Grand Competition."
The two elders exchanged glances, realizing that Hu Qian's regard for Xiao Ze far exceeded their expectations.
This also piqued the interest of the two elders in Xiao Ze.
After all, for Hu Qian to hold such high regard for him, Xiao Ze must have some special qualities, right?
As they entered the forest, the teams of new and old students had already disappeared without a trace.
Walking through the forest, Han Yue's voice echoed softly.
"The purpose of the Flame Hunt Grand Competition is to dull the sharpness of the new students and let us adapt to the competitive environment of the inner courtyard..."
With Han Yue's explanation, both Little Doctor Immortal and Han Xun'er began to understand.
Xiao Ze glanced at Han Yue.
Indeed, having a teammate who knew the information saved him from having to explain too much.
It also made him not seem so special, avoiding the impression of being a prophet.
"In the inner courtyard, flame energy is the most important resource!"
"Some students who find it difficult to obtain resources effectively in the inner courtyard will take advantage of this annual Flame Hunt Grand Competition to extract flame energy from new students."
"It's usually the weaker students because the strong ones don't lack flame energy."
Upon hearing this, Little Doctor Immortal relaxed a bit and said, "Doesn't that mean this Flame Hunt Grand Competition will be easy for us?"
However, Han Yue shook her head, her expression serious. "Not really. This year's situation is somewhat special!"
Seeing Xiao Ze's gaze turned towards her, Han Yue felt a slight joy and explained after thinking for a moment.
"You should know that in the previous inner courtyard selection, I encountered Lin Xiuya, that monster, which caused me to miss out on the inner courtyard, right?"
"Lin Xiuya and Yan Hao almost disrupted the previous Flame Hunt Grand Competition! It's said that there are many strong old students interested in this year's competition as well."
Xiao Ze frowned and looked at Han Yue. "Is there a necessary connection between these two events?"
"Um," Han Yue realized that her explanation was a bit unclear.
"Some of the old students have a particular interest in defeating talented students who haven't grown up yet..."
Xiao Ze scratched his head at Han Yue's words. This hobby was quite unique.
"Just like the old student who defeated Lin Xiuya and Yan Hao last year, he often boasts about his deeds in the inner courtyard. You should know that Lin Xiuya has now risen to prominence!"
Xiao Ze couldn't help but be curious. "Wouldn't Lin Xiuya seek revenge?"
"I'm not very clear about that."
Han Yue shook her head.
"Forget about gossip, let's hurry and go. We can find a place to rest for a while; there's still seven days left, no rush to go out."
Under Han Yue's puzzled gaze, Xiao Ze led them to a nearby stream to rest.
"You said flame energy is very important, so it's a good opportunity to obtain some flame energy..."
After listening to Xiao Ze's explanation, Han Yue's eyes widened.
Even she thought Xiao Ze's idea was bold.
But with Xiao Ze's strength, it seemed not impossible!
"Alright, although your idea is a bit crazy, but since I'm your teammate, who am I to say no."
And so, the four-person team rested by the stream.
On the other side, Bai Cheng, who was originally in the same team as Xiao Ze, finally found the team of seniors dressed in white after many difficulties.
"Senior Bai Feng! You must help me!"
The young man at the head of the group frowned slightly when he saw Bai Cheng.
It was a bit worrying to be asked for help as soon as they met.
Well, after all, he was his younger cousin, so he should listen to what difficulties he had.
"Bai Cheng, no hurry, tell me slowly."
"I was robbed of an opportunity by someone..."
Bai Cheng said resentfully, omitting many key details and embellishing the facts.
He described the Diamond Body Pill, which didn't belong to him, as already in his hands but taken by Xiao Ze.
"What?! You're saying you originally obtained a Grade 7 pill, but it was taken by your teammate?!"
Bai Feng couldn't help but exclaim.
His teammates behind him also looked at Bai Cheng, their eyes full of surprise.
"It's absolutely true. You must speak up for me, cousin!"
"If it's true, I will definitely speak up for you. When we get the pill back, we'll have a legitimate reason to explain to the elders."
Bai Cheng nodded excitedly. He knew how strong his cousin was; he was a Three-Star Dou Spirit!
His team was also the strongest team in the Flame Hunt Grand Competition, known as the White Demon Team!
Bai Feng patted Bai Cheng on the shoulder, a greedy glint flashing in his eyes.
A Grade 7 pill!
As his junior brother, who had a shallow cultivation base, couldn't handle the impact of the pill's power, it would be better for his cousin to bear this pain.
Since last year, when he defeated Lin Xiuya and Yan Hao, Bai Feng had become somewhat intoxicated with such feats.
Defeating a genius before they matured meant he could boast about it.
And when the genius grew up, he could also boast that they were once his defeated subordinates.
Of course, such things had to be kept private and should never be mentioned in front of Lin Xiuya.
Otherwise, he might end up being beaten by Lin Xiuya.
Bai Feng was already looking forward to defeating the genius called Xiao Ze and taking his Grade 7 pill!
As for Xiao Ze being able to defeat him?
Heh, that was impossible!
Last year, even that monster Lin Xiuya was defeated by him. How could anyone be more monstrous than Lin Xiuya?
