New Student Accommodation Area.
When Chen Xiao led Zi Yan back, Grand Elder Su Qian had just finished settling the new students, making this relatively quiet area suddenly much livelier.
However, because the new students had suffered some losses in the Fire Energy Hunting Competition, they all looked disheveled. Walking among them, you could barely see an intact person. Coming here was like entering a village of the disabled and elderly, quite comical.
"Old Man Su."
"Grand Elder."
Approaching, Zi Yan and Chen Xiao greeted him.
Grand Elder Su Qian returned Zi Yan's greeting with a helpless smile, his gaze lingering on Chen Xiao for a moment.
"Been to the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower? How does it feel?"
"It helps with condensing Dou Qi, but I didn't feel much improvement in cultivation speed. Staying in the tower even felt a bit uncomfortable. I met an Elder Liu, who advised me not to spend too much energy in the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower, lest I put the cart before the horse," Chen Xiao answered truthfully.
"Old Man Liu is absolutely right. The Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower is indeed not worth you spending too much energy on. In comparison, the Arena might be more beneficial to you. In the past two days, I've thoroughly reviewed your information. How about this, I'll help you formulate a three-year cultivation plan?"
Grand Elder Su Qian said with a smile.
Hearing this, Chen Xiao was a little surprised.
This Grand Elder was a genuine Dou Zong powerhouse and the true head of Jia Nan Academy. A cultivation plan personally formulated by him would definitely have some merit.
"Please guide me, Grand Elder."
"Just a few suggestions. From your information, I found a very obvious problem: your background and your talent are far from matching. Your growth speed is too fast, so your experience can't keep up with your strength."
"To put it more directly, your accumulation is severely insufficient. This intangible thing, seemingly dispensable, is actually very important. It can determine whether you can forge your own path in the future. Take Dou Skills and cultivation methods, for example. Only with sufficient accumulation can you have the ability to create and innovate, instead of always following the path of your predecessors."
"In addition, from my brief contact with you, you have another small problem. You possess heroism, but lack toughness. This may be related to your living environment and age. This point also needs to be changed."
It must be said that the Grand Elder had some substance.
Chen Xiao couldn't refute the two points he raised.
Moreover, Chen Xiao himself was aware of these issues.
It was precisely because of this that he often sought out ancient books from Xun Er to read before, otherwise, his accumulation would only be worse.
As for the so-called toughness, this was even simpler. In the end, it was influenced by the education of his previous life. Even though Chen Xiao had gradually integrated into this world where the strong prey on the weak, it would still occasionally show through inadvertently.
Su Qian smiled slightly and continued, "In my study, I have collected tens of thousands of miscellaneous books. Some record anecdotes and interesting stories from various parts of the continent, while others record the life stories of some powerhouses, and even their ingenious ideas when creating Dou Skills and cultivation methods, encompassing everything. From now on, in the Inner Academy, I will grant you a convenience. You can enter and exit my study freely and read as much as possible. This is the first thing you need to do."
"The Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower has limited use for you. Spend some time each month condensing Dou Qi. This is beneficial and harmless. This is your second task."
"The last thing is related to the Black-Corner Region. The Black-Corner Region has a bad reputation, but it also provides a lot of help to Jia Nan Academy. The Enforcement Team of the Outer Academy hones themselves by using the Black-Corner Region. Those kids on the Inner Academy's Black Ranking sometimes also enter the Black-Corner Region to experience the baptism of blood and human nature. You should go there often from now on. In at most half a year, you will feel the change in yourself."
"These three things are what you need to persist in from now on. As for the allocation of time, you plan it yourself."
"In addition, you can occasionally go to the Inner Academy's Arena and the vast deep mountains behind it to experience them."
This was the benefit of having guidance. After Grand Elder Su Qian's pointers, Chen Xiao was clearer than ever on how to cultivate next.
More importantly, the Grand Elder's suggestions did not conflict with his pre-planned schedule.
"Thank you, Grand Elder, I've noted it down!"
"Hehe, our Inner Academy is never short of geniuses. I don't need to say much about those with fire attributes; the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower is the biggest help. For those with other attributes, I naturally have to pay more attention, lest I tarnish the Inner Academy's reputation. And from the results of these years, my suggestions are often quite pertinent."
After finishing speaking with Chen Xiao, the Grand Elder then looked at the little dragon person who was eager to move.
"Your temperament is temporarily not suitable for going to the Black-Corner Region. You need someone to look after you. Some people on the Black Ranking won't give our academy face. If they catch you, I won't be able to save you either."
Grand Elder Su Qian knew Zi Yan too well.
This girl was someone who couldn't sit still.
If he really let her into the Black-Corner Region, he was afraid that news of treasures being looted would soon spread among the various sects.
Although Zi Yan had a unique spatial talent, if you walk by the river often, how can you not get your shoes wet?
Therefore, in a short period of time, Su Qian was not at ease letting her go out.
Zi Yan pouted slightly, "I have no interest in the Black-Corner Region at all. Even if you ask me to go, I won't."
Grand Elder Su Qian almost believed her. He glanced at the two figures approaching from a distance, chuckled, and flashed away, disappearing from the spot.
Ignoring the Grand Elder who came and went without a trace, Zi Yan's gaze fell on Chen Xiao.
"Oh right, you still haven't told me why you asked me to come today."
Chen Xiao glanced at the man and woman who were getting closer, and replied with a smile, "See, you said it's hard to eat medicinal herbs directly, right? I found a kind person for you. She can help you solve this problem."
After the Fire Energy Hunting Competition ended, the Black White Twin Devils Team also returned to the Inner Academy. Fu Jun, the White Devil Team Captain, was undoubtedly the one who suffered the most losses. His fire energy was completely looted, and he had no chance to recover.
Because those fifty new students had already been completely looted by the older students ahead, only the minimum remained...
Returning to the Inner Academy, Fu Jun endured for a while, but the more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He immediately found his lover in the Medicine Gang and prepared to come over and say some harsh words to save face.
As for more, he really didn't dare.
Chen Xiao could easily defeat him as soon as he entered the Inner Academy, so it was conceivable that the gap would only get bigger in the future.
Therefore, small skirmishes were fine, but completely offending him was completely unnecessary.
"Rong Rong, it's him. This kid is so arrogant. I told him you were from the Medicine Gang, but he still ignored it and robbed me clean. You must..."
Before he finished speaking, as they got closer, Fu Jun saw the white-dressed girl standing beside Chen Xiao.
In an instant, the words on his lips could no longer be spoken, and he stood rooted to the spot with a shiver.
The woman he called 'Rong Rong' also changed her expression drastically, her face turning pale.
Oh my god, Brute Force King!
