Three days had passed quietly since the end of the outer school competition. On the huge square, five students had been waiting under the scorching sun. These five people were none other than Xiao Ping, Zhao Xing, Mu Lei, Zhen Bufan and Liang Zihua who had won the top five places in the outer school competition.
"Hehe"
just when Xiao Ping was still meditating deeply with his eyes closed, a figure fell from the sky. Who else could it be but Hu Qian?
"Since you are all here, then follow me."
Hu Qian stroked his long beard and said with a smile, "As for the opportunities after entering the library, it depends on your luck!"
Hearing Hu Qian's voice, Xiao Ping slowly opened his eyes. He had special abilities and had already explored the treasures in the library. Before the exploration, he might not have noticed anything, but after the exploration, Xiao Ping was extremely excited. It was not for anything else, but because he had discovered a very powerful beast fire in the library, which had reached the seventh level. If he could... If he could combine this beast fire with his original dark blue beast fire, his strength would be much stronger.
"Of course, every treasure in the library is attached with an energy shield, and will also try its best to avoid your grasping. Only by breaking the energy passport and taking the treasure inside can it be truly considered a success. Moreover, each person can only take one treasure."
Seeing the longing in the eyes of Xiao Ping and others, Hu Qian also reminded them, "So, don't be greedy, so as not to miss the opportunity! Otherwise, in the end it will be a waste of time."
"It's getting late, come with me."
As soon as the words fell, Hu Qian turned around and walked towards the depths of the outer courtyard, while Xiao Ping and the other four followed closely behind. After passing through one extremely hidden and narrow path after another, Xiao Ping and the other four followed Hu Qian into a quaint house.
Facing a nondescript stone wall, Hu Qian raised his palm and clapped it casually a few times. A low rumbling sound was heard, and then a dark passage appeared in front of Xiao Ping and the other four.
"Come in,"
he waved to the five people, and Hu Qian was the first to enter the dark passage, followed by Xiao Ping who followed without hesitation. As for the other four people, they looked at each other for a few seconds before slowly walking in.
After entering the passage, Xiao Ping and the others also found that the wall was inlaid with huge night pearls, and the faint light made the entire passage a little hazy, but this little light was enough for Xiao Ping and the others
to walk in the passage. After about half an incense stick of time, a faint light appeared at the end of the passage. Seeing the light, Xiao Ping and his companions quickened their pace. After a while, they finally arrived at the end of the passage. They took a step forward and
the dazzling light poured down from the sky, making Xiao Ping and his companions close their eyes slightly out of habit. After a while, they slowly opened their eyes and looked at the scene before them, but they were a little surprised.
At this time, in front of Xiao Ping and his companions, there was obviously a valley groove. The steep mountain wall extended all the way upwards, and finally to the end of the sight. There was a very wide open space between the three cliffs. At this time, on that open space, a huge and somewhat astonishing heavy and simple pavilion stood on it.
His eyes slowly swept over the huge and simple pavilion, and finally stopped on an extremely ancient plaque outside the pavilion. On it, three characters that were somewhat blurred by the erosion of time were faintly revealing
the library!
Although the ancient handwriting had been ravaged by the years, Xiao Ping and others were still shocked by the ancient artistic conception contained in the fonts. It was worthy of being the mysterious library in the outer courtyard of Canaan College. This plaque alone showed its identity.
Hu Qian led the five people and walked slowly towards the library. When they were about to enter the twenty-meter distance, they suddenly stopped, clasped their fists in the direction of the library and said, "The top five of this inner courtyard selection competition have been born. According to the rules, I brought them here. Please open the door, elders!"
Hu Qian's words, carried by the fighting spirit, kept lingering in the small valley for a long time.
Shortly after Hu Qian finished speaking, two grey-robed figures appeared suspended in mid-air on both sides of the gate. This scene scared the other four students. After all, although they were among the top five in the outer courtyard competition, they were only small Dou Shi. The realm of these two grey-robed figures was far from being
a "Dou Zong powerhouse" that they could touch!
Looking at the two figures floating in mid-air, Xiao Ping couldn't help but squint his eyes. Being able to hide himself by distorting space meant he had already reached the high-level Dou Zong level. "It's worthy of being the watershed of the Dou Qi Continent."
Compared to Dou Huang, it was Dou Wang. Once he stepped into Dou Zong, it was another difficult-to-reach level. The ability to distort space alone was not something that Dou Huang could contend with.
Hu Qian's voice slowly dissipated in the valley, while the two grey-robed figures did not move at all, as if they had not heard anything. Although his words did not receive a response, Hu Qian did not speak again. Instead, he kept Keeping the fist-clasping posture, he waited quietly,
"The top five of this session don't seem to be that good, Hu Qian?"
After waiting for more than ten minutes, a voice with a hint of blame came out slowly from the mouths of the two gray-robed figures. Judging from their tone, it seemed that they were not very satisfied with the top five students in this session's outer courtyard competition. There was no way. After the entire outer courtyard competition was disrupted by Xiao Ping, all the masters with the strength of five-star fighting masters were eliminated from the top five by Xiao Ping.
"Please forgive me, elders, this is what happened."
Although he was scolded in person, Hu Qian did not complain at all. Instead, he remained extremely respectful. Then he told the two guarding elders in detail what happened in the outer courtyard competition.
"So..."
After listening to Hu Qian's explanation, the two gray-robed elders could not help but be surprised. Then they turned to look at Xiao Ping,
"Young friend, are you the Xiao Ping that Hu Qian mentioned?"
"My name is Xiao Ping, nice to meet you two elders."
Hearing the question from the grey-robed elder, Xiao Ping also stepped forward and clasped his fists respectfully towards the two of them, "What Vice-President Hu Qian said is indeed true, please don't blame the Vice-President."
"At such a young age, your Dou Qi cultivation is already so strong."
Although Xiao Ping used the Bodhi Zen to conceal his cultivation realm, the solidity of his Dou Qi was not hidden. Therefore, the other party, as a Dou Zong expert, also saw through Xiao Ping's situation at a glance,
"It's really extraordinary!"
Listening to the praise from the two elders guarding the pavilion, Xiao Ping also shook his head, "I just had an encounter. If it weren't for the encounter, I would be a one- or two-star Dou Zhe at best. No matter how strong my Dou Qi is, I can't compare to a Dou Shi expert after all."
"Haha, not really, not really…"
At Xiao Ping's modesty, the grey-robed elder also smiled and shook his head, "Be it luck or encounter, they are all part of strength. They are gold and they will always shine!"
"I hope you can get what you want from the library."
As the words fell, the two old men guarding the library slowly stretched out two pairs of dry palms from their sleeves, and then slowly formed hand seals one by one. As their hand seals formed, Xiao Ping and others could clearly feel that two extremely powerful invisible fluctuations were coming out from their palms like waves. The
invisible fluctuations like waves gradually spread, and actually stimulated space folds behind the two of them. When the two came into contact, the space in front of Xiao Ping and others was like a mirror made of water, constantly rippling in circles. After a while, the ripples stopped, and a door to space was slowly torn open by the invisible big hand.
"Let's go."
Hu Qian waved to the five people behind him, and then took the lead and walked in. After experiencing that dark passage directly, except for Xiao Ping, the other four people were also much bolder. , without much hesitation, he stepped in and stepped out
of the invisible space gate. Xiao Ping and others also found that the pavilion in front of them seemed clearer and more real. Obviously, the pavilion in front of them was the real library, and what they had seen before was just an illusory projection.
"Haha, please trouble you two elders." Standing outside the pavilion, Hu Qian smiled at the two gray-robed men sitting cross-legged on the ground and said,
"It's just a mission."
The two mysterious figures wrapped in gray robes did not even move their bodies. A hoarse and faint voice slowly rang out,
"You can go in now."
Pointing to the library, Hu Qian turned to Xiao Ping and the other four and said, "Remember what I said before, don't be greedy, otherwise it will be in vain. You only have one hour. After one hour, whether you get the treasure or not, you will be teleported out."
"Time is limited. I wish you success."
The gray-robed old man on the left waved his sleeves slightly, causing an invisible wave. Immediately, the tightly closed door slowly opened, revealing the dark passage inside.
Seeing this, Xiao Ping took the lead and stepped in. He disappeared into the passage in an instant. The other four students swallowed their saliva and also mustered their courage and walked into the passage at the same time.
