Hearing what Zhang Hongfei said. Even with Zhang Qilian's concentration, his face couldn't help but change.
Although Zhang Qilian has never entered Ziye Academy to study and cultivate, he also knows that Ziye Academy has a rigid admission requirement, that is, practitioners must be under the age of fifteen to be eligible to participate in the academy's assessment. Those who are over fifteen years old, no matter how strong they are, the academy will not accept them.
This condition is the same in most colleges in the mainland.
The Xia Yan mentioned by the three of Zhang Hongfei, if he really entered the academy for only two months, he would be fifteen years old at most. Fifteen-year-old late-stage healer, how is this possible
Zhang Qilian, as the director of the Zhang Family's Outer Academy, has traveled all over the world. For so many years, he has never heard of a fifteen-year-old late-stage spiritual master appearing anywhere.
"This Xia Yan, isn't over fifteen years old?!"
While breathing, Zhang Qilian suppressed the surprise in his heart, turned his eyes to Zhang Hongfei and asked.
Zhang Hongfei nodded, "Exactly. When he first entered the academy, he didn't seem to be a strong spiritual master. He didn't know how to cultivate. It took less than two months. This Xia Yan has reached the late stage spiritual master state." .”
"When he passed the special student assessment, I challenged him, but I couldn't defeat him."
For this, Zhang Hongfei and the other three also frowned, they couldn't figure it out at all. However, he always felt that Xia Yan was playing tricks, relying on physical skills to be undefeated.
"A fifteen-year-old late-stage spiritual master..." Zhang Qilian couldn't help but began to search his memory, "In the history of the Dragon Continent in the past few hundred years, there was a twelve-year-old late-stage spiritual master three hundred years ago. A hundred years ago, there was a fifteen-year-old great spiritualist."
"If this Xia Yan is really a fifteen-year-old late-stage spiritual master, then he can be regarded as a rare genius in the Dragon Continent in the past few hundred years." Zhang Qilian's eyes turned cold.
What Zhang Qilian said was recorded in history books. Those who have not been recorded may also have some equally astonishing geniuses, but their cultivation history is not known to outsiders.
The Dragon Continent has such a large population, no matter how low the proportion is, some rare geniuses can still appear.
It is not too unusual for Xia Yan to be among the ranks of geniuses because he has practiced the Lingluo Secret Code. Of course, ordinary people naturally don't know the profoundness of Xia Yan's Lingluo mentality.
"This Xia Yan is against us everywhere. We have to swallow his anger and endure all kinds of insults when he is in the academy for a day." Zhang Feng said bitterly.
"He also humiliated us many times in front of everyone." Zhang Haiquan also said angrily.
"Just now you said that this Xia Yan is the dean's disciple? The dean of Ziye College?!" Zhang Qilian asked again.
Zhang Hongfei breathed heavily, and said in a deep voice, "Yes, Liu Yun, the principal of Ziye College, personally accepted him as a disciple. He is a disciple of the principal, and we can't know what to do with him. That's why we let him be so arrogant. Long."
In fact, Xia Yan never took the initiative to provoke the three of them, and it was always the three of them who provoked Xia Yan first. From the very beginning, it was Zhang Feng who made trouble in Ruyi Building first.
"In this case, it's really not easy to deal with. If the principal of Ziye College knows that we are dealing with Xia Yan, then he will definitely not let it go." Zhang Qilian immediately began to think about how to deal with Xia Yan, but finally shook his head, a little helpless.
Zhang Qilian was from the Zhang family, so of course he was on the side of Zhang Hongfei and the others. For the words of the three of Zhang Hongfei, they also believed deeply. He also subconsciously believed that it was Xia Yan who was aggressive.
Zhang Feng's eyes flashed, and he said sinisterly, "Uncle Qi Lian, Xia Yan has a younger sister named Xia Zixin, who is also practicing at Ziye Academy, and her strength is average. We..."
Looking around, Zhang Feng saw that no one was paying attention to what they were talking about, so he continued, "We can use Xia Zixin to lure that bastard Xia Yan out..."
"Let's talk in a secluded place." Zhang Qilian raised his hand, interrupted Zhang Feng's words, and said in a low voice.
"Yes." Zhang Feng hurriedly replied, glanced at Zhang Hongfei and Zhang Haiquan, and both of them nodded slightly.
…
At noon the next day!
In the wilderness ten miles away from the east gate of Ziye City, Xia Yan, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground in a white shirt, slowly opened his eyes.
With his breathing, the last ray of white light that was looming also disappeared between Xia Yan's breaths.
"Finally absorbed."
Xia Yan raised his arms, and his whole body stood up quickly.
This time, it took him about nine hours to absorb the spiritual power from yesterday evening to today's noon.
And during these nine hours, Xia Yan's spiritual power—
With a second thought, Xia Yan slowly raised the Chenxi sword in his hand to meet the autumn sun!
Suddenly, Xia Yan's body jumped out, and he slashed fiercely at a huge rock in the distance with his sword. This rock is as high as two people and more than two meters wide. In the wilderness, it looks more abrupt.
And Xia Yan's goal at this moment is this rock.
"Boom..."
After a loud noise, the huge eyes instantly turned into fragments and powder. Fragmentary stone powder is flying everywhere. After a while, the dust slowly fell to the ground.
Looking at the damage caused by his sword, Xia Yan was also extremely surprised.
"The power of my martial arts, the damage it caused..." Xia Yan looked at the scattered stone powder around him, "I never thought that after absorbing spiritual power this time, my strength would increase so much. The power of this sword is equivalent to a martial skill of 6,000 degrees." power."
Six thousand degrees of martial arts power. It is equivalent to a full blow from the mid-term Great Spirit Master.
Ordinary mid-stage great spirit masters can also display a martial skill power of about 6,000 degrees. As for Xia Yan, he just stepped into the realm of a great spiritual master.
Xia Yan knew that he was not a mid-term great spiritual master now, but the power of martial arts was no less than that of a mid-term great spiritual master.
"Even if a mid-stage great spiritual master appears to fight me now, I'm not afraid at all." Xia Yan thought to himself.
"In addition to my phantom movement and speed, if I face the great spiritual master in the later stage, I also have the power to protect myself." Xia Yan found the black scabbard, and reinserted the Chenxi sword into the scabbard.
Just now when Xia Yan's spiritual power was pouring into the sword, the Chenxi sword also emitted a bright light, which was a bit glaring even under the sun. The current Dawn Sword is not what it was when it was just cast. As Xia Yan's strength increased, the Chenxi Sword also continued to change.
"I have to hurry back, otherwise Xiaoqing will be worried again." A smile appeared on the corner of Xia Yan's mouth.
Xia Yan is also quite satisfied with this breakthrough in strength. The breakthrough of Lingluo Sword also drove Xia Yan's own strength breakthrough. However, this is also related to Xia Yan's accumulation. If the accumulation is insufficient, the Lingluo Sword will not be able to break through naturally, let alone break through with its own strength.
In the wilderness, a figure flickered continuously.
A moment ago, a figure appeared here. But the next moment, a figure appeared tens of meters away. Such a speed dazzles the eyes.
Xia Yan, who successfully stepped into the realm of a great spiritual master, increased his speed a lot. Originally, Xia Yan's speed was considered fast among powerhouses of the same level, that is to say, Xia Yan's current speed should be comparable to that of a mid-term Great Spirit Master. Even, a little bit stronger.
Soon, Xia Yan entered Ziye City from the south gate.
"Xiaoqing."
Half an hour later, Xia Yan appeared in his small courtyard.
In the city, Xia Yan did not display shocking speed either. Where there are many people, use the speed of ordinary people. Where there are few people, Xia Yan will speed up.
Therefore, after half an hour, Xia Yan walked from the south gate to his small courtyard.
As soon as he entered the yard, the earth dog rushed out, but Xia Yan didn't see Xiaoqing, so he barked.
When the bead curtain on the door of the left wing was rolled up, a graceful figure appeared. Xiaoqing wore a long pink dress, and when she saw Xia Yan, her face was filled with joy.
Suddenly, Xiaoqing turned around again and entered the wing room.
Seeing this, Xia Yan frowned, "What's wrong with Xiaoqing?!"
Normally, Xiaoqing would definitely welcome her out, but this time, she turned around and entered the room again.
"Could it be that you are angry?!" Xia Yan thought to himself, "No, I know Xiaoqing's temper, even if she is angry, she will not behave like this, at most she pouted her mouth to express her dissatisfaction."
Shaking his head, Xia Yan turned to look at the dirt dog baring its teeth and wagging its tail.
"Brother Xia Yan."
At this time, Xiaoqing came out of the room again, holding a letter in her hand.
"Brother Xia Yan, this letter was sent by someone just now, saying that it is urgent. I don't know what to do if you are not here. Also, the dean, master, and elder brother Li both came to look for you yesterday. I also said that there is something to do." Xiaoqing said crisply, and handed the letter to Xia Yan.
Xia Yan accepted the letter suspiciously.
"Master and brother Li have both come to look for me? Could it be..." Xia Yan thought to himself, "It is likely that I left Ziye Academy suddenly, which made them worry."
Thinking of his state at that time, Xia Yan smiled wryly. At the time, he couldn't control it either.
"However. Who gave this letter to me?!" Xia Yan looked at the envelope in surprise, but there was no writing on it.
After pondering for a while, Xia Yan tore open the letter casually. Inside, a piece of paper was taken out and opened.
"Huh?!" Xia Yan opened his eyes with a terrifying look.
The content of the letter is short and simple.
Xia Yan:
You are limited to one hour to reach Qingyun Mountain in the east of the city, otherwise, Xia Zixin's life will die. Hehe, Xia Zixin... Tsk tsk, that spirit of water is really exciting!
Remember, only one person is allowed to come. If I find out that you have notified other people, then don't blame me for being cruel.
Seeing this letter, Xia Yan could even hear that person's sinister laughter ringing in his ears.
Xiaoqing was by the side all the time, and seeing Xia Yan's face was a little stern at this time, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes, his heart couldn't help beating violently. She rarely saw Xia Yan so angry.
"Brother Xia Yan, what happened?!"
Because of her short stature, Xiaoqing couldn't read the contents of the letter when Xia Yan held it in her hand. So, she asked cautiously.
Hearing Xiaoqing's voice, Xia Yan's body shook suddenly and he came back to his senses.
"It's okay, Xiaoqing, I have to go out. Don't worry, I'll be back in a while." Xia Yan showed a smile on his face, and lightly scratched Xiaoqing's nose.
