Chapter 35 Tribute

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

He sat down in the living room and began reading books on alchemy.

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

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

Xiao Ling nodded without commenting, and said, "I'll leave the recruitment of members and the management of the faction to you. I'll only be responsible for refining medicine for you. If faction members ask me to refine medicine, they can get a discount. Just consider it as a benefit of joining the faction."

"Don't worry, I will handle these things seriously. Just treat it as an opportunity to exercise my abilities." Lin Xiuya replied.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you. I'll go out for a walk and try out 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, and it is right next to the dormitory of Xiao Ling and others.

Of course, compared with the small pavilion of Xiao Ling and his companions, the other houses are a little bit simpler. It seems that not everyone can enjoy this kind of treatment.

There wasn't a single freshman on the road at this time. Perhaps the fire hunting competition was too tiring for the freshmen, so they didn't get up so early.

Xiao Ling walked towards the dormitory of the two girls, and after a quick look, he found that Han Yue was already practicing fighting skills in the yard. Xiao Xun'er should not have gotten up yet, so she didn't notice her. Seeing this, Xiao Ling didn't plan to disturb Han Yue's practice, and walked to other places.

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

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

When they reached the exit of the avenue, Xiao Ling did not intend to pay attention to them. He found a direction where no one was blocking the way and walked in.

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

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

A burly-looking man in black was very arrogant. He said to Xiao Ling with disdain: "Boy, hand over the fire energy card quickly, or you will be in trouble." As he said that, he raised his hand and punched Xiao Ling.

By slightly shifting his body position, Xiao Ling easily dodged the man's punch, and knocked him to the ground with a backhand shot. Then he activated the suction palm to suck the man back in front of him, and lifted him up by pinching his neck with one hand.

When everyone saw this scene, they all activated their fighting spirit and prepared to beat up Xiao Ling together.

At this moment, an old student came from a distance and shouted at these people: "Stop it now."

Then he smiled at Xiao Ling and said, "This guy is talking nonsense. Xiao Ling, you should leave. The rest of you, hurry up and get out of the way."

Xiao Ling nodded slightly. He didn't want to waste time on such trivial matters. He said in a cold tone, "It has nothing to do with me if you rob others. Don't waste my and my friends' time. Otherwise, don't blame me for not being gentle with you in the future."

Looking at Xiao Ling's back, the burly man in black pried his companion's hand apart and asked in confusion, "Why did you let that guy leave? Didn't Brother Li Zhengyu say that the tribute fee of every new student must be collected? Although this person can enter the inner courtyard at such a young age, his talent is good, but his strength should not be high. He also came in at the bottom. Why should we, the great fighting masters, be afraid of him?"

The young man who had just arrived rolled his eyes at him after hearing this, and said in a serious tone: "You came in through the ground? That's because you were not here yesterday and didn't see Xiao Ling and five others robbing all of Lao Sheng'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. Lao Sheng had a strong Douling in the fire energy hunting competition, and he could be ranked in the upper middle of the whole inner courtyard. How could he be robbed by a kid 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 and has already reached the level of a Great Fighter. He is also a fourth-grade peak alchemist. This talent is not something that we can compare to. Now you know why I won't let you do it again."

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

"I understand." The man in black was speechless.

When the other senior students who were not familiar with 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 knew a little about the tribute fee, which was paid by the freshmen to the old students.

This kind of thing should be considered an unspoken rule in the 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 arises spontaneously with the encouragement of the college.

Xiao Ling had discovered a long time ago, and he didn't know who started it first, but the old students in both the outer and inner courtyards liked to train the freshmen.

After each batch of freshmen are trained by senior students, in order to balance their mentality, they will start to target the freshmen after them when they become senior students, and the cycle repeats itself.

Xiao Ling didn't care about this kind of thing and didn't intend to intervene. He wouldn't set up a faction to clean up the mess for the freshmen like Xiao Yan did in the original novel. Every time his subordinates were bullied, he would ask Xiao Yan to come to the rescue. This kind of thing was a waste of time and thankless.

Xiao Ling and his companions planned to create their own power in order to make their practice more convenient. In the future, if they wanted to find something, they only needed to arrange their subordinates to look for it, and it would also be more convenient to inquire about some information.

……

Without thinking any more about these trivial matters, Xiao Ling took out the map of the inner courtyard that he had asked Elder Su for yesterday, confirmed the location of the Tianfen Qi Training Tower, and then accelerated along the instructions on the map.

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

He ran 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 deeply.

On the way to the Tianfen Qi Training Tower, you can often see students 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 people fighting, 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 tough. Although this kind of frequent sparring and fighting is not prohibited in the outer courtyard, few people will spar with others unless there is a grudge. After Lin Yan comes to the inner courtyard, he should be able to spar with others to his heart's content."

After running for another twenty minutes or so, he glanced around and was somewhat surprised to find that, for some reason, more and more people were flocking to this road heading north, and each of them was running at their maximum speed. As a result, Xiao Ling could only see figures flashing past above the woods on both sides and the sound of breaking wind.

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.
