Chapter 35 Tribute

The next morning, Xiao Ling woke up from his sleep.

He came to his seat in the living room and began to read books about alchemy.

Everyone went down the stairs one after another and greeted each other.

After the last person, Lin Yan, arrived, Lin Xiuya asked: "Let's go and solve the power issue today to avoid trouble later."

Xiao Ling nodded without comment and said: "The recruitment of members and power management will be left to you. I will only be responsible for helping you refine medicine. Force members can get some discounts if they ask me to refine medicine. Just treat it as a benefit of joining the force."

"Don't worry, I will handle these things seriously, just treat it as exercising my ability." Lin Xiuya replied.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you. I'll go out for a walk by myself. It's just right to try the effect of the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower." After Xiao Ling finished speaking, he waved to everyone and left the dormitory.

Walking out of the pavilion, there is a green avenue, and on both sides of the avenue are the residences of other freshmen of this class. Han Yue and Xiao Xun'er's room is for two people, right next to Xiao Ling's dormitory.

Of course, compared with Xiao Ling's small pavilion, other houses are a little more simple, so it seems that this treatment is not available to everyone.

There is no shadow of a freshman on the road at this time. It must be that the fire hunting competition has been a big toss for the freshmen, so the freshmen did not get up so early.

Xiao Ling walked towards the dormitory of the two girls, took a quick look, and found that Han Yue was already practicing fighting skills in the yard. Xiao Xun'er should not have gotten up yet, so she did not see her figure. Seeing this situation, Xiao Ling did not intend to disturb Han Yue's practice, and walked to other places by himself.

After nearly ten minutes, Xiao Ling, who was walking slowly, slowed down his pace and looked up at the end of the road. There was actually a group of people blocking the intersection.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Ling couldn't help but frowned, guessing that this should be the old students who collected tribute.

When he reached the exit of the avenue, Xiao Ling didn't intend to pay attention to them, and found a direction where no one was blocking him.

At this moment, seven or eight old students wearing tower-shaped badges on their chests surrounded him, with a ferocious look on their faces.

Xiao Ling, who didn't want to waste time, saw that these people actually treated him as a soft persimmon, stretched out his hand and grasped it, and a long spear appeared in his hand. He said in a bad tone: "Don't waste my time, otherwise you will be in trouble."

A man in black who looked relatively burly was very arrogant and said to Xiao Ling with disdain: "Boy, hand over the fire energy card quickly, otherwise you will have a hard time." As he said that, he raised his hand and punched Xiao Ling.

With a slight deviation, Xiao Ling easily dodged the man's punch, knocked him to the ground with a backhand shot, then urged the suction palm to suck the man back in front of him, and lifted him up by pinching his neck with one hand.

Seeing this scene, everyone started to use their fighting spirit and prepared to beat Xiao Ling together.

At this moment, an old student came from a distance and shouted to these people: "You guys stop it."

Then he smiled at Xiao Ling and said: "This guy is talking nonsense, Xiao Ling, you go away. You guys, hurry up and get out of the way."

Nodding slightly, Xiao Ling didn't want to waste time on such a trivial matter, and said in a cold tone: "You robbing others has nothing to do with me, don't waste my and my friends' time, otherwise don't blame me for not being gentle in the future."

Looking at Xiao Ling's back, the burly man in black broke his companion's hand apart and asked very puzzledly: "Why let that kid leave? Didn't Brother Li Zhengyu say that the tribute fee of every freshman must be collected. Although this person is able to enter the inner courtyard at such a young age, his talent is good, but his strength should not be high. He is also the bottom one. Why should we, the great Doushi, be afraid of him? "

The young man who just rushed over heard this, rolled his eyes at him, and said in a serious tone: "He came in as a bottom one? That's because you were not here yesterday and didn't see Xiao Ling and five people robbing all the old man's fire energy, otherwise you wouldn't say such a thing. "

"Really? How is it possible?" The man in black heard this and was a little bit unbelievable. In the fire energy hunting competition, the old man had Douling strongmen, and he could also be ranked in the upper middle of the entire inner courtyard. Just like that, he was robbed by a child who looked more than ten years younger than them and a few people? He couldn't accept it.

The man shook his head and said, "That's not the case. Especially Xiao Ling, who is only ten years old this year, has already reached the level of a great fighting master and is also a fourth-grade peak alchemist. This talent is not comparable to those of us. Now you know why I don't let you do it again."

"And his friends are all very strong and talented. We don't need to provoke them. Judging from Xiao Ling's attitude, he should not care about other freshmen. We just accept these."

"I know." Black-clothed Qing was speechless.

When the other old students who didn't know Xiao Ling's situation heard this, they also put Xiao Ling in a position that should not be provoked.

Xiao Ling didn't care much about this little episode.

Xiao Ling still knew a little about the tribute fee, which was paid by the freshmen to the old students.

This kind of thing should be regarded as an unspoken rule in the inner courtyard of Canaan College.

This tradition is not stipulated by the college. The college only encourages competition. This kind of thing should be said to be an unspoken rule that is generated by the college itself.

Xiao Ling has long discovered that, and he doesn't know who started it first, the old students in both the outer and inner courtyards like to train the freshmen.

After each class of freshmen is trained by seniors, in order to balance their mentality, they will become seniors and start to attack the freshmen behind them, and this cycle repeats.

Xiao Ling doesn't care about this kind of thing and doesn't intend to care about it. He won't set up a force to clean up the freshmen's ass like Xiao Yan in the original book. Every time his subordinates are bullied, he will ask Xiao Yan to find a place. This kind of thing is a waste of time and thankless.

Xiao Ling and his friends plan to create their own forces to make it easier to practice. In the future, if they want to find something, they only need to arrange their subordinates to find it, and it is also more convenient to inquire about some information.

...

No longer thinking about these trivial matters, Xiao Ling took out the inner courtyard map that he asked Elder Su for yesterday, confirmed the location of the Tianfen Qi Training Tower, and then ran quickly along the map.

The area of ​​the inner courtyard was indeed as large as Xiao Ling expected.

He ran wildly for nearly half an hour, but still did not reach the boundary of the inner courtyard.

Along the way, Xiao Ling also felt the atmosphere of the inner courtyard more truly.

On the way to the Tianfen Qi Training Tower, students can often be seen fighting in public. Outside these circles, there are still many people watching, obviously they are used to it. Some of the talkative people shouted at the occasional flaws of the two fighting people while watching, which made the two people in the circle more and more frightened. In the end, they could only withdraw with depressed faces.

This made Xiao Ling sigh: "The atmosphere in the inner courtyard is really very fierce. Although this kind of frequent fighting is not prohibited in the outer courtyard, unless there is a grudge, few people will find others to fight. After Lin Yan comes to the inner courtyard, he should be able to fight with others as much as he wants."

After running for more than 20 minutes, he looked around and was surprised to find that for some reason, more and more people gathered on this road to the north, and each of them exerted their speed to the extreme. As a result, Xiao Ling only saw the figures flashing past and the sound of breaking wind above the woods on both sides.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling roughly understood that they should be reaching the Tianfen Qi Training Tower soon. So he increased his speed and rushed forward.
