Chapter 189 Protecting the Skyfire Academy

Among the many disciples present, only some of the inner courtyard disciples were still here, and most of the outer courtyard disciples. Under the gaze of many eyes, Lin Xiao was not nervous at all, and calmly strode to the foot of the griffon.

"Dean Xu, disciple Lin Xiao, climbed to the top of the Sword Qi Tower. This is just the beginning. I will win the competition in the outer courtyard. The Fire Academy will never disappear!"

Lin Xiao cupped his fists and saluted, looked up at Xu Yan on the griffon, and said every word, sonorously and forcefully.

I will win the competition in the outer courtyard!

One sentence showed Lin Xiao's determination to win. Climbing to the top of the Sword Qi Tower was just the beginning. In the competition in the outer courtyard, he would emit an even more dazzling light and protect the entire Fire Academy!

Hearing this sentence, everyone was cheered up.

On the gryphon, Xu Yan's eyes were wet, but he laughed, "Okay, my Fire Academy disciple has such courage, why worry about it!"

"Lin Xiao, Lin Xiao, Lin Xiao..." The disciples of the Fire Academy shouted wildly, looking at Lin Xiao with eyes filled with admiration and emotion.

"Lin Xiao, can you come up and talk to me?" At this time, a rich voice sounded, it was the golden-robed elder.

Hearing this, Lin Xiao was a little flattered, and then smiled and said, "It's not what I asked for."

Immediately, a flying carpet fell from the griffin, Lin Xiao jumped up, and landed on the back of the griffin in the envious eyes of everyone.

In the void, the golden-robed elder slowly looked at Lin Xiao, showing a hint of appreciation, "He is indeed a dragon among men. At his age, he can climb to the top of the Sword Qi Tower, which is amazing."

"Guy, can you tell me how you climbed to the top of the Sword Qi Tower?" asked the golden-robed elder, with a trace of curiosity on his face.

He saw that Lin Xiao was only at the second level of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, but he had just broken through to become a Great Swordsman. With this kind of strength, he could only reach the seventh level at most, but he had made it all the way to the adjacent twelfth level. It was really incredible.

Hearing this, Lin Xiao bowed slightly and said, "Back to the elder, this is related to the technique I practice. It is inconvenient to disclose the details. Please understand, elder."

The golden-robed elder nodded and did not continue to ask. Lin Xiao's words confirmed his thoughts. Sure enough, there were other factors involved.

But even so, it is precisely Lin Xiao's talent. Let me ask, even if he has powerful skills, how can he reach the top if he does not have talent and determination?

Moreover, Lin Xiao is still just a disciple of the outer courtyard, which further proves his extraordinary status.

"Lin Xiao, what did you see on the top of the tower?" asked the golden-robed elder.

It is said that before the sword master ascended, he left something on the top of the sword energy tower. Everyone was curious about what it was, and the golden-robed elder was no exception.

"At the top of the tower, I met the ancestor, and he gave me an opportunity." Lin Xiao said.

Hearing this, the golden-robed elder was not that surprised. It was just as he thought. Of course, he did not ask what the opportunity was.

"Lin Xiao, you have outstanding talent. According to the rules of the academy, you can enter the inner courtyard as an exception. Are you willing?" asked the elder in gold robe.

Hearing this, Lin Xiao frowned and did not show any joy. Instead, he thought for a moment and then said, "I'm sorry, elder, I can't go to the inner courtyard for the time being."

"Why?" The golden-robed elder looked confused. If it were any other disciple from the outer courtyard, he would have happily agreed immediately.

After all, it is not that difficult to advance from the outer courtyard to the inner courtyard. Most of the disciples in the outer courtyard have to practice for at least several years before they can reach the fifth level of the Spiritual Transformation Realm. They also have to go through layers of selection before they can officially enter the inner courtyard.

What's more, it took ten years to enter the inner court. This shows how harsh the conditions for becoming a disciple of the inner court are, with an elimination rate of almost nine out of ten.

Faced with such an excellent opportunity to enter the inner courtyard, Lin Xiao refused. The golden-robed elder would inevitably feel puzzled.

"Because I still have one thing to do. I want to win the outer courtyard competition and protect the Fire Academy." Lin Xiao said in a deep voice.

On the side, Xu Yan was moved when he heard this.

Originally, Lin Xiao had the opportunity to directly become a disciple of the inner courtyard, receive better resources, and have better mentors and professors, but he resolutely gave it up in order to protect the Fire Academy.

This friendship is truly touching.

At this time, the silver-robed elder said a few words in the golden-robed elder's ear. Hearing the words, the golden-robed elder showed a look of surprise, and looked at Lin Xiao with a hint of appreciation.

"Okay, in that case, I won't force you. If you can get the top three in the outer court competition, you can also directly enter the inner court."

Lin Xiao cupped his fists and saluted, "Thank you, elder, for your understanding."

"Okay, there are still two days left, it's the outer court competition, give it your best performance." The golden-robed elder smiled, and immediately turned into a golden light and left here.

At this point, the month-long opening of the Sword Qi Tower comes to an end.

This time the Sword Qi Tower was opened, many outstanding talents emerged. Among the disciples in the outer courtyard, several broke into the fifth floor, and Xie Chuan even broke into the sixth floor.

In addition, in the inner courtyard, Baili Yunfei broke through to the adjacent ninth floor, and Duanmu Xiu even broke through to the adjacent tenth floor, reaching the level of a half-step sword king.

However, all of this was covered up by the light of a person, whose name was Lin Xiao!
