Soul Palace No. 1 Player

Chapter 172 Fire Energy Hunting Competition

Early the next morning, Ruolin knocked on the door.

"Student Yang Shan! Student Yang Shan!"

"Teacher Ruolin, wait a moment!"

Yang Shan collected the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill refined in the Yunshuang Cauldron, and then opened the door:

"Teacher Ruolin, is there any news?"

Yang Shan noticed that there was already a white-haired old man drinking tea in the courtyard.

Yang Shan recognized this white-haired old man.

Hu Qian, Dean of the Foreign Affairs College of Canaan College.

But now I have to pretend I don’t recognize it.

"Come with me quickly."

Ruolin urged and brought Yang Shan to Hu Qian:

"Dean, it's this kid!"

Hu Qian pretended to continue drinking tea and said calmly:

"Xiao Ruolin, this is the genius you were talking about?"

Ruolin: “Yes!”

Hu Qian waved his hand:

"Come on, boy, hit me."

Yang Shan: “.”

As expected of the dean, his train of thought is different!
Yang Shan: "Old man, not really. I'm afraid I'll break your bones with one punch and you'll blackmail me."

Ruolin laughed so hard that her whole body was cramped:

"Student Yang Shan, the old man you are talking about is the dean of the outer courtyard of our Canaan College, a strong man at the peak of Douhuang level."

Yang Shan clasped his fists and saluted:

"Yang Shan, meet Senior Hu!"

Ruolin reminded: "Student Yang Shan, you have to call the dean!"

"It doesn't matter!"

Hu Qian looked at Yang Shan with interest:

"This kid did it on purpose. If you don't join the law enforcement team, you really don't plan to enroll in school, right?"

Hu Qian slammed his hand on the table:

"Boy! How dare you make demands on our Canaan Academy!"

The aura of a peak Douhuang strongman is truly powerful.

And Hu Qian was obviously targeting Yang Shan, but Ruolin was not affected by Hu Qian's aura.

Yang Shan knew that it was time for him to give in.

You have to be tough first and show your attitude.

But if you are just hard, you are just a fool.

Yang Shan thought Ruolin was going to talk to the elders of the law enforcement team about this matter.

I didn’t expect that the person who came was the Dean of the Foreign Affairs College.

But it doesn't matter, everyone is the same, Yang Shan said the words he had prepared long ago:
"Senior Hu, please don't be angry. I am not negotiating with Canaan College. I just hope to get better training. I am just a Dou Ling. How can I be qualified to negotiate with the college? But Senior Hu can't force me to enroll, right?"

Canaan College has relatively loose character requirements for its students.

It’s okay to be lustful, and it’s also okay to be vicious.

But people who like to kill indiscriminately and those who do not respect teachers and elders will not be recruited.

Ruolin has already explained it very clearly to Hu Qian.

Yang Shan came to Canaan College purely because Ruolin had a good eye for talent and was willing to humble herself and take the initiative to invite him.

Of course, there is the most critical point.

For Canaan College, the law enforcement team is the department most likely to suffer casualties.

There is a perennial shortage of staff.

Many instructors in the college feel sorry for their students, so they are reluctant to let them join the law enforcement team.

But Yang Shan has been hanging around in the Black Horn Region for some time, and he has adapted to this kind of life.

Therefore, it is obviously more beneficial than harmful for Canaan College for Yang Shan, a gifted student, to join the law enforcement team.

This is why Yang Shan made the request directly.

As for whether he would eventually join the law enforcement team, Yang Shan was actually not sure.

But Yang Shan was absolutely unwilling to live the student life in Canaan College.

Although Canaan College has a lot of resources.

But once you enter, you have to stay in the academy most of the time, relying on the vast forest occupied by Canaan Academy as the main leveling area.

As for the Gama Empire, Yang Shan could not give up.

It is even less likely that the Black Horn Region will give up.

Yang Shan couldn't do such a thing as picking up sesame seeds and throwing away watermelons.

Therefore, the best solution is to join the law enforcement team and get an extra mission while hanging around in the Black Horn area.

Canaan College has quite a lot of resources, so it would be a waste not to take advantage of them!

After hearing Yang Shan's answer, Hu Qian regained his momentum:
"Well, you are a brave boy, I like you! If you want to join the law enforcement team, it depends on your own ability!"

Hu Qian clapped his hands.

A figure rushed towards Yang Shan.

This figure, like Yang Shan, was wearing clothes in a very conspicuous red color.

Before anyone gets close, the sound of breaking wind begins.

Whip, this guy uses a whip!

Yang Shan turned sideways.

Snapped!
The long whip missed and several floor tiles were broken into pieces.

The opponent did not hold back in this move.

Yang Shan was also able to use the detection function to detect the other party's information.

【Hujia】（purple lettering）

Level: Two-star Douling

Attribute: Wood

Affiliation: Canaan College
Introduction: One of the talented students of the External School of Canaan College. She has never failed in two years of enrollment. She is the granddaughter of Hu Qian, the Dean of the External School of Canaan College. Because of her beautiful face, eccentric personality, and "love of lilies", Hu Jia was dubbed the "witch". After Xiao Xun'er entered the school, Hu Jia developed a great interest in her.

Her face is indeed pretty, but compared to her face, Hu Jia's figure seems to be more eye-catching.

Every time the whip is swung, a noticeable shake can be seen.

The little girl is developing well!

And with the red outfit that Hu Jia is wearing, plus the special X orientation
Yang Shan, the old pervert, could only watch Hu Jia's whip shaking with pure admiration.

After all, her orientation is a bit distorted, and it is almost impossible for a man to gain the favor of this seductress.

Let's leave it to other old-time players with ideals and ambitions to face the challenge!
Yang Shan didn't expect that Hu Qian actually called his own granddaughter.

Moreover, it was somewhat impolite for Hu Jia to take action so directly.

So Yang Shan chose:

Don't fight back!
This is not because of cowardice.

Sometimes, not fighting back is more discouraging than fighting back.

Is Yang Shan’s speed of over 300 a joke?
Two steps to the left, two steps to the right, a small jump, and then bend down.

It's just like doing radio gymnastics.

But just with these actions, he managed to dodge all of Hu Jia's whip.

Hu Jia's face turned red.

Fight back!
Why don't you fight back?
Don't you know that I make a clown like this?
Yang Shan said he knew, so he continued to hide.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Hu Qian started coughing.

But Hu Jia seemed not to hear it. How infuriating is it to play whack-a-mole and not hit it once the whole time?
Hu Jia took three steps back and infused the wood-attributed fighting spirit into the long whip.

The long whip was like a vine that had been fertilized and had its time accelerated, extending wildly.

"Youmu poisonous snake vine!"

The whip was at least ten meters longer and emitted a terrible poison.

Hu Jia should not be practicing the poison attribute, but this fighting skill can obviously temporarily transform the wood attribute into the poison attribute.

Yang Shan asked:

"Senior Hu, if I can survive this attack from her, can I join the law enforcement team?"

Hu Qian: "If you can survive this move, you will have passed the first level."

Yang Shan stood behind Hu Qian:

"Ok."

Hu Qian: “.”

Even after using Thunder Spirit Flash, if Hu Jia could hit Yang Shan, then there must be something fishy going on.

"Don't run, you flea!"

Hu Jia is a girl with a really bad temper.

Look at Yang Shan behind Hu Qian, she is whipping her own grandfather together!
Hu Qian clamped the whip with two fingers:
"Okay, Xiaojia, don't be so ungrateful."

Hu Jia: "What? I'm being naughty? Grandpa, please get out of the way, or I'll whip him twice."

Hu Qian said helplessly:
"I didn't hit you because of my face. If I had used a knife, I would have killed your head with your body at that speed!"

Hu Qian taught:
"With you being like this, not even opening your battle armor before taking action, how can I trust you to go to the Black Horn Region? The villains there are ruthless and will eat people without leaving any bones behind!"

Hu Jia tried to pull the whip back several times, but how could a Dou Ling have the room to resist in front of a Dou Huang?
Hu Jia could only look at Yang Shan angrily, as if he wanted to eat Yang Shan.

[Ding! Players, please note that you have made Hu Jia extremely angry. Hu Jia's favorability has been reduced by -10.]

Hu Qian turned to Yang Shan and said:

"Young man, are you using me as a shield?"

Yang Shan was a little embarrassed: "Indeed, it's not very convenient to do it."

Hu Qian: "Why?"

Yang Shan thought about it and said seriously:
"I'm afraid she'll be killed."

Hu Qian: “.”

Hu Jia's little canine teeth were exposed:
"Teacher Ruolin, don't stop me. I'm going to beat him to death!"

Hu Qian's voice suddenly rang in Yang Shan's ears:
"Boy, you did a great job!"

But Ruolin and Hu Jia didn't react at all.

It was obvious that Hu Qian used some tricks to convey a message to Yang Shan.

"My granddaughter is too arrogant. I'm going to give you a chance to join the law enforcement team, but you have to help me suppress her arrogance and let her know that there are always people better than you!"

After Hu Qian and Yang Shan communicated with each other, he said seriously:
"Hu Jia, stop it. Yang Shan also has to participate in the trial this time. You are teammates, so don't make things too awkward."

Hu Jia: "Why do you want him to go? Xun'er and I can go together!"

Hu Qian: “.”

Faced with Hu Jia, a granddaughter with a perverse personality, Hu Qian was somewhat helpless:

"Student Yang Shan, there is indeed no precedent for him to enter the law enforcement team directly after admission. However, Xiao Xun'er from the outer courtyard and my granddaughter have just been specially allowed to participate in the final trial of the inner courtyard in advance."

Hu Qian introduced:
"As long as you enter the inner courtyard and join the law enforcement team, it will be in accordance with the rules. Your strength has also been proven. You are stronger than my granddaughter!"

Hu Jia was dissatisfied:

"Grandpa! If you say that again, I will ignore you for half a month!"

Hu Qian's expression also turned cold:

"With your temper, you will suffer a lot in the inner courtyard. Those old students will not give you face! If you don't accept it, don't fight with Yang Shan. If you perform better than Yang Shan during the trial, I will give you a local-level technique! And if you want to pester Xiao Xun'er, I will just pretend I didn't see it!"

Hu Jia's eyes lit up at that moment:
"really?"

Hu Qian: "When have I ever lied to you?"

"Okay, okay, Grandpa, this is what you said!"

Hu Jia turned and left:

"I'm going to practice first!"

Hu Jia actually knew very well that based on the speed shown by Yang Shan, it was basically impossible for her to defeat Yang Shan.

So we have to practice hard.

"What were you doing before you cram?"

Hu Qian smiled and asked Yang Shan:

"Student Yang Shan, you have to help me with this matter."

Yang Shan thought about it and answered with three words:

"You have to pay more."

Hu Qian opened his mouth three times but didn't utter a word.

Ruolin tried hard to hold back her laughter, but her wildly shaking shoulders undoubtedly betrayed her.

Hu Qian: "If you get more 'Fire Energy Points' than Hu Jia in the trial, I will give you 100 more!"

[Ding! The player triggers a special plot: When participating in the Fire Energy Hunting Competition, if you obtain more Fire Energy Points than "Hu Jia", "Hu Qian" will be awarded an additional 100 Fire Energy Points. ]

"Fire Energy Points" is a special "currency" set up by the Canaan College.

In the inner courtyard, all resources provided by Canaan College are exchanged for "fire energy points".

This is consistent with the original work.

Ruolin also began to explain to Yang Shan the situation of the final test in the inner courtyard.

The trial took place in the vast forest leading to the inner courtyard.

Students from the outer courtyard need to pass through the forest to reach the inner courtyard.

During this period, the students from the outer courtyard not only have to face the magical beasts living in the forest, but also have to deal with the "old students from the inner courtyard" who may appear at any time.

These old students from the inner courtyard would attack the students from the outer courtyard in groups of five.

After being defeated by the senior students in the inner courtyard, the senior students in the inner courtyard will take a certain amount of fire energy points from the students in the outer courtyard.

Every external student who participates in the trial will have a crystal card with 20 fire energy points.

Ruolin warned:
"The old students in the inner courtyard are eager to participate in the trial because they can get fire energy points from the students in the outer courtyard. This also leads to many students who participated in the trial having their fire energy points snatched away. So this trial is also called the 'Fire Energy Hunting Competition'."

Ruolin pointed at Yang Shan:
"You are the prey, and I am the hunter."

"This boy is not prey!"

Hu Qian's old face smiled sinisterly:
"For so many years, the old students in the outer courtyard have been well fed. This time, hehe, I will let those old guys in the inner courtyard see how sharp my vision is!"

Ruolin: "Dean."

Hu Qian: “Hmm?”

Ruolin: "Xun'er and Yang Shan were both recruited by me. What does it have to do with your vision?"

Hu Qian: “.”

Yang Shan: "This time, the only people in the outer courtyard are me, Xiao Xun'er, and Hu Jia?"

Hu Qian: "Yes, this is a special trial. Originally there were only two people, but I made the decision to add you in. You have to perform well!"

Yang Shan clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Dean Hu, for your help!"

Hu Qian patted Yang Shan on the shoulder:

"Young man, you are quite good. You are able to survive in the Black Horn Region. You definitely have a lot of experience in combat. I am very optimistic about you."

Hu Qian showed a nostalgic look:

"Ah, come to think of it, when I was young, I was just like you, young and frivolous, killing people everywhere in the Black Horn Region, and then I met that old guy Su Qian."

Yang Shan really didn't know that old man Hu Qian was such a nagging person.

It took me half a day to talk about it!
And he became more and more engrossed in what he said!

Holding a teacup in hand, I didn't even take a sip even though the tea was cold. I looked up at the sky and recalled the past.
Ruolin couldn't bear to listen any longer and gave Yang Shan a look.

The two of them tiptoed out of the yard.

Hu Qian seemed to be telling a stand-up comedy:
"At that time, that old fellow Su Qian was even more powerful than me! In the Demon Flame City, he held a mace in his left hand and a mace in his right hand, and killed his way from the north to the south of the city. Then he met a Dou Huang and almost died. Eh? Where is he? Where is he?"
