章節 64: Chapter 64
Chapter 64
announcement from the Vice Dean, this year's Inner Academy selection competition ends in a situation that surprises everyone.
Countless people are eagerly discussing and speculating about Xiao Ze's abilities. As the people of Canaan City return to the city, discussions ignite across the entire area.
Xiao Ze's appearance is like a bright moon, rendering other students mere fireflies.
People are always eager to focus on the bright moon.
Thus, the current and even future generations of students appear dim and lackluster under this bright moon.
Because no matter what achievements you make, they will always be compared to the bright moon.
Once it's discovered that you fall far short of the bright moon, then your achievements mean little.
In the foreseeable future, for several generations to come, students will live under Xiao Ze's shadow.
As one of the top five in the Inner Academy selection competition, Xiao Ze can once again enjoy the privilege of entering the Book Pavilion.
Xiao Ze briefly explains the rules of the Book Pavilion to Xiao Xuner and Xiao Yan. Since they also need to enter the Book Pavilion, this doesn't violate any confidentiality rules.
However, this time, Xiao Ze doesn't have any particular items he desires.
He already possesses martial arts techniques, and there probably won't be any high-level elixirs in the Book Pavilion.
Xiao Ze approaches the Book Pavilion with a relatively casual attitude, hoping to find some treasures. If he can discover something valuable, then his trip won't be in vain.
Three days later, Xiao Ze, accompanied by Xiao Xuner and Xiao Yan, arrives at the room where the Vice Dean is located.
The reason for the delay of three days is because Bai Cheng was injured by Xiao Ze. Otherwise, they could have entered the Book Pavilion the next day.
At the entrance of the Book Pavilion, they coincidentally meet Han Yue.
Xiao Ze nods friendly towards her, and Han Yue smiles back faintly.
"Xiao Ze, I really appreciate your mercy that day," Han Yue says with a hint of meaning.
Xiao Ze shrugs, somewhat helpless. "There's no way around it. Senior Bai Cheng is just that tenacious. If he doesn't give up until the very end, then I have no choice but to help him give up."
As Xiao Ze speaks, Bai Cheng's somewhat gloomy face appears in everyone's view.
Xiao Ze awkwardly clears his throat a couple of times, feeling embarrassed discussing Bai Cheng behind his back.
Although he's stating the facts, being caught talking about someone behind their back is still awkward.
Bai Cheng remains silent and ignores them, walking directly into the Book Pavilion.
Xiao Ze doesn't feel much about it. After all, he had just injured Bai Cheng three days ago.
If Bai Cheng could still smile at him, that would be truly surprising.
"Let's go, don't keep the Vice Dean waiting," Xiao Ze says, and Han Yue follows them into the Book Pavilion.
On the way, Han Yue chats with Xiao Xuner and Xiao Yan for a while.
Xiao Ze doesn't say much, as the topics are all between girls.
His involvement would seem a bit strange.
However, he didn't expect that despite Han Yue's appearance of being as cold as an iceberg, actual interaction wasn't so difficult.
Or perhaps Xiao Ze and the others are on the same level as Han Yue, making it easier to get along.
Soon, they arrive at the room where the Vice Dean is located.
Seeing Han Yue and Xiao Ze's group arriving together, the Vice Dean's eyes flash with satisfaction.
Competition within the Inner Academy is more intense, and newly admitted students need to unite to survive better within the Inner Academy.
However, seeing Bai Cheng arrive first, the Vice Dean also feels somewhat helpless.
He's well aware of the situation outside.
Bai Cheng clearly doesn't want to accompany Xiao Ze's group.
Otherwise, they would have met at the entrance of the Book Pavilion, and Bai Cheng would have followed Xiao Ze's group inside just like Han Yue did.
"Now that everyone's here, let's not waste any more time. Follow me to receive the rewards for the top five," the Vice Dean says without much ado.
After some twists and turns, the majestic and ancient Book Pavilion appears before them.
Xiao Ze has been here before, so he remains calm on the surface and even more so internally.
Xiao Xuner and Xiao Yan show a bit of surprise on their faces, impressed by the depth of Canaan Academy's heritage.
Although they had heard Xiao Ze's description before, they are still amazed by the depth of Canaan Academy's heritage.
As for Bai Cheng and Han Yue, their reactions are even more exaggerated.
"All right, hurry up and go in. You only have one hour, and you can only take one item," the Vice Dean says. "Don't be greedy; otherwise, no matter how many items you take, you can only keep one in the end."
With the Vice Dean's words, the five of them enter the Book Pavilion one after another.
Outside, Hu Qian looks at the two elders with a smile.
"Elders, do you want to guess again what Xiao Ze will get this time?"
The two elders look at each other and say in succession:
"Earth-grade martial arts or techniques!"
"High-level secret techniques!"
Hu Qian chuckles inwardly.
It seems that Xiao Ze's acquisition of two volumes of earth-grade techniques last time left a deep impression on the elders.
They are full of confidence in Xiao Ze's luck.
All their guesses are high-level items.
"I think he'll bring out something different this time," Hu Qian remarks.
The two elders ignore Hu Qian's words. Isn't that the same as saying nothing?
Inside the Book Pavilion, countless streams of light flash through the rooms.
Xiao Ze has already intercepted five of them amidst the surprised gazes of Han Yue and Bai Cheng.
These items are laid out in front of Xiao Xuner and Xiao Yan for them to choose.
As mentioned earlier, Xiao Ze came with the mentality of finding treasures.
However, he's not particularly interested in any of the five items now.
Although each one is of high grade, none of them satisfy him!
In the end, Han Yue chooses a silver-white scroll, looking very satisfied.
Bai Cheng's face is a bit unsightly, and he has changed items three times already.
It's not until he picks up a crimson scroll that his expression improves slightly.
Xiao Xuner chooses a jade brick, containing extensive information on various poisons, a comprehensive compendium of poisons.
Xiao Yan selects a earth-grade fire attribute martial art as a transitional technique for the future.
Han Yue looks at the silver-white scroll in her hand, envy evident on her face as she watches Xiao Xuner and Xiao Yan.
With Xiao Ze's help, life is truly blissful.
If the scroll in her hand didn't satisfy her, Han Yue probably would have swallowed her pride and asked Xiao Ze for help.
On the other side, Xiao Ze still hasn't made a decision, but he hasn't discarded the items in his hand either.
If worse comes to worst, when he's about to leave, he'll randomly grab a high-grade item.
Since he's already here, he can't leave empty-handed, right?
Suddenly, there's a tremor inside the energy shield, followed by a majestic stream of light shooting out.
Seeing this, Bai Cheng rushes forward, his eyes gleaming with excitement as he reaches out to grab the majestic stream of light.
However, before Bai Cheng can touch the stream of light, he's struck by a powerful energy wave.
His body trembles as if struck by lightning, and he crashes to the ground.
Han Yue, who had also been considering grabbing it, immediately changes her mind.
The energy emitted by the stream of light is something she can't withstand on her own.
Xiao Ze watches the majestic stream of light, feeling something in his heart, and extends his right hand.
The stream of light, radiating powerful energy, naturally falls into his palm.
The four people present stare wide-eyed.
Especially Bai Cheng, who lies on the ground, coughing up blood, his face filled with disbelief.
He hadn't even approached it yet, and he was already injured.
He thought this thing could only be viewed from afar and not touched.
Yet Xiao Ze just reached out, and it came to him on its own!
This stark contrast infuriates Bai Cheng, aggravating his injuries even further!
