Battle Through the Heavens - chapter-430

When he heard the sound of the main door behind him being tightly shut,
Xiao Yan’s footsteps paused for a moment. Immediately, he once again
pulled Xun Er as they walked forward. After five minutes, a pale,
yellow-colored light was transmitted from a spot not too far in front of
them. Their footsteps became involuntarily quicker. After a while, they
finally passed through the dark, black tunnel, and a brilliant light shot
at them, causing them to turn their heads away.

The place, which appeared in front of both Xiao Yan and Xun Er, was an
extremely spacious, large room. On the walls around the room, there were
nearly ten energy barriers. At this moment, these energy barriers were
slowly releasing and pulling back a light glow, shining through the
entire room until it was like daytime.

Hu Jia and the two others had already arrived at the room. When they
heard the sound of footsteps, the three of them turned around to take a
glance. Hu Jia took a step forward upon seeing the two of them and
smilingly said: “Xun Er, we can huddle together after we enter the
Inner Academy in the future. Although I have never entered the Inner
Academy, I heard from my grandfather that if one wanted to obtain the
best training conditions, one must see whose fist is harder. Therefore,
if we, these new students who has just entered, were to separate, we will
definitely be unable to avoid being oppressed and bullied.”

Hu Jia’s gaze merely swept once across Xiao Yan before she leapt at
him. Clearly, she still bore some grudges within her heart towards the
ruthless attack which Xiao Yan had inflicted upon her a couple days
before.

“Ke ke, that’s right. If the new students who has just entered are
not united, it is very easy for them to be bullied.” Bai Shan,who stood
beside her, laughingly said: “However, I have a brother from my clan
who has already stayed in the Inner Academy for two years. When that time
comes for us to enter, as long as Junior Xun Er and all of you are with
me, we can definitely avoid the most difficult transition period for new
people with him looking after us.”

“Ke ke, we appreciate Senior Bai Shan’s good intentions. It is good
enough for us to rely on ourselves with regards to these matters.” Xiao
Yan laughed softly. His gaze immediately looked all around him and a
shock surfaced in his eyes. It appeared that this huge room was already
the end of the ‘Book Collection Hall’. Why was it that he could not
see anything?

The corner of Bai Shan’s mouth twitched slightly when he heard Xiao
Yan’s words. A dark coldness involuntarily surfaced on his smile-filled
face before it immediately disappeared. He said thickly in his heart:
“If you don’t want to do things the easy way, then fine. Then I’ll
let you act as though you are tough. I hope that you can still be this
tough after you enter the Inner Academy. At that time, I want to take
care of you until you crawl out of the Inner Academy!”

“Stop looking. There does not seem to be any other place. All there is
are those strange energy barriers. Don’t tell me they want us to
enter?” Hu Jia’s mouth twitched as she said upon seeing Xiao Yan’s
gaze sweeping in all directions.

Xiao Yan could not help but furrow his brows slightly when he heard this.
What was their intention?

Just as Xiao Yan and the few others were at a loss in the enormous room,
there was suddenly a slight sound of rushing wind that sounded in the
room. Although that voice was extremely mild, it was undoubtedly as clear
as a muffled thunder to Xiao Yan and the rest. Immediately, the gazes of
the few of them hurriedly followed the noise and move. Finally, they
stopped at an energy barrier that was to their left side.

“That spot… it seems there is something that is about to appear?”
Xun Er eyed the energy barrier there as she said uncertainly.

“Appear?” Xiao Yan was slightly startled. He did not have the time to
reply when his heart suddenly tightened. Before he made a move, he saw a
cluster of purple light suddenly shooting out explosively from within the
energy barrier. It immediately turned into a ray of light that shot
towards the five of them.

“Be careful!” When they saw the purple light shooting over, Bai Shan
and the others, who did not know the details, hurriedly dodged. Xiao
Yan’s body leaned to one side and avoided it.While he was pulling back,
his mouth did not forget to shout at Xun Er, who was standing at her
original spot, without even moving.

Xiao Yan’s cry had just sounded when the purple light suddenly
increased its speed and shot ferociously at Xun Er. The latter stared
intently at the purple light and extended her hand in front of Xiao
Yan’s face, which had immediately changed color. She actually directly
grabbed at the purple light.

“Chi.”

Her pretty hand grabbed the purple light with her palm in front of the
gazes of everyone in the room. After which, the purple light slowly
disappeared, and a purple scroll, that was wrapped by a layer of energy
appeared in her hand.

“Xuan Class High Level Qi Method. Purple Lightning Burst?” As Xun Er
held the purple-colored scroll, she hand probed a little and actually
passed through the energy layer without any hinderance. She eyed the
words that were written on the surface of the scroll and could not help
but read it out softly.

“Qi Method?” Xiao Yan and the others were black as they heard Xun
Er’s voice. Immediately, they suddenly came to an understanding. The
things would actually automatically be spat out from those energy
barrier…

At the moment that Xiao Yan and the others came to a sudden
understanding, a great cluster of rushing wind noises sounded once again.
Quickly following this, one energy cluster after another, which were of
different shapes and colors, were spat out from the energy barrier from
all directions. After which, shuttled without stopping through the
enormous room, carrying a humming rushing wind sound.

Seeing those energy clusters, which carried different momentums, a joy
surfaced on Xiao Yan’s face. His feet sprung from the ground and his
body rushed up into the air like a cannon ball. He hurriedly grabbed with
his hand and when he landed on the ground, there was already a cluster of
pale-green light in his palm.

As his gaze passed through the green light, Xiao Yan was able to discover
that within the cluster of light, there was actually a medicinal
ingredient, which entire body was like an emerald. His eyes swiftly swept
across the emerald medicinal ingredient and finally stopped on the
jade-like fruit at the top portion of this medicinal ingredient. Xiao
Yan’s heart quivered: “Sky Jade Fruit?”

According to what Xiao Yan knew of the ‘Sky Jade Fruit’, this thing
can be directly consumed and would be able to let a person’s Dou Qi’s
strength be raised by around one star. If it was used to refine medicinal
pill, it would definitely be a mysterious pill that could directly raise
the strength of a strong Dou Wang should one succeed. This thing belonged
to the category of a ‘sky-high price’ outside and was extremely
difficult to find. It was really unexpected that there would actually be
one of it being spat out within the ‘Book Collection Hall’. This
really caused Xiao Yan to be speechless.

“Unfortunately, although it is rare, it is not the thing that I need
now.” Xiao Yan was somewhat unwilling as he sighed while holding this
‘Sky Jade Fruit’ in his hand. He relaxed his palm and the former once
again turned into a green glow that shot upwards before finally
infiltrating into the bright energy barrier that permeated the place and
quietly disappeared.

“Xun Er, snatch them!” Xiao Yan tilted his head and shouted loudly to
Xun Er. His body moved according to his intentions and hurriedly grabbed
at a cluster of light.

As Xiao Yan’s loud cry sounded, Bai Shan and the others appeared to
have also began to respond. Immediately, their few figures of theirs
began moving, turning into numerous shadows that swiftly flashed within
the room and repeatedly grabbed the clusters of light that were shot out
from the energy barrier.

In an instant, the entire room was filled with whistling sounds. Xiao Yan
and the few others hurried all over. Once they found that the item they
grabbed was not suitable for themselves, they would hurriedly abandon it
and continue to maximize the use of the time to snatch a treasure that
suited them.

“Ha ha, Di class Dou Technique?” A joyful laughter suddenly sounded
within the room filled with whistling noises. Xiao Yan and the others
hurriedly turned their heads around and coincidentally saw that a cluster
of silver-colored light had been caught and raised high in the sky by Bai
Shan’s hand. From the glow that was vaguely visible, Xiao Yan and the
others could faintly see that the thing inside appeared to be something
like a scroll.

Bai Shan held the silver-colored cluster of light tightly. He could not
resist smiling gloatingly at Xiao Yan as his hand swiftly inserted itself
into the silver glow. However, just as his hand had just made contact
with the interior of the silver-colored cluster of light, an enormous
repulsive force abruptly appeared and suddenly shook off his hand.
Immediately, the light grew very bright and forcefully broke free from
Bai Shan’s hand. It turned into a ray of light that shot into an energy
barrier.

Bai Shan was startled as he eyed that silver-colored light cluster, which
shot straight back into the energy barrier and disappeared. His
expression immediately and abruptly became gloomy. With a furious roar,
his body transformed into a white shadow and heavily smashed against the
energy barrier.

“Bang!” Bai Shan collided heavily onto the energy barrier. The energy
barrier did not even move a little but the former shot back explosively.
A mouthful of blood was thrown up. Finally, he smashed onto the wall on
the other side.

Xiao Yan and the others were stunned as they watched the Bai Shan, who
had been laughing gloatingly a moment ago, be shaken until he spat out
blood and forced to pull back. They exchanged gazes with one another and
the corner of their mouths could not help but twitch slightly. A typical
case of a tragedy formed from extreme joy. Did this fellow forget that
the Deputy Headmaster Hu Gan had said to follow fate just before they had
come in earlier?

“*Cough*…” Xiao Yan let out a dry cough and temporarily halted his
actions. He smilingly said to Bai Shan: “Senior Bai Shan, are you
alright?”

Bai Shan climbed to his feet with a green face. He ignored Xiao Yan.
Instead, he raised his head once again and threw his gaze towards the
countless number of light clusters whistling in the space above the room.
A moment later, he feet pushed off the ground and his body shot out once
again.

Xiao Yan shrugged his shoulders. He took two step back and placed himself
next to Xun Er as he whispered: “Although those things are isolated by
an energy layer, if one carefully observe, one can still faintly see some
clues. Remember, look specifically for those energy cluster with a
greater energy undulation and grab them.”

“Yes, alright.” Xun Er nodded slightly when she heard Xiao Yan’s
reminder. She did not continue the pointless snatching. Instead, she
quietly stood on the spot as her gaze tightly focused on energy barrier,
which was unceasingly spitting out clusters of light.

By her side, Xiao Yan closed his eyes. In this kind of place, the
Spiritual Perception strength that he was endowed with was his greatest
advantage. He was able to observe the strength of the energy cluster that
had yet to appear before other people.

Xiao Yan’s Spiritual Perception permeated throughout the entire room.
His body did not move even a little. Even when some energy clusters
occasionally flew in front of him, he did not show the slightest
reaction. These things were not worthwhile for him to move his hand to
grab it.

The silence persisted for nearly ten minutes. Xun Er had already grabbed
five to six energy clusters during this period of time but none of them
had reached the level which she wanted. Therefore, all of them were
thrown back.

In an instant, the heart of Xiao Yan, whose body had maintained its
motionless state, suddenly tightened. His eyes opened abruptly. Without
any forewarning, his feet pressed against the ground and his body shot
explosively towards an energy barrier that was towards the left. Just as
Xiao Yan’s body moved, a fiery-red glow let out a ‘xiu’ sound as it
shot explosively out of the energy barrier.

The moment the fiery red glow appeared, the temperature of the entire
huge room also rose by quite a bit. Therefore, the gaze of Bai Shan and
the others were also hurriedly thrown over. When they saw the momentum
that this fiery red glow carried, they were momentarily startled before
they immediately shot explosively over as a conditional reflex.

However, just as they have just started moving, Xiao Yan, who had
discovered this cluster of fiery red glow before them, had turned into a
black shadow before suddenly appearing. He grabbed with his palm,
withstood the heat that was transmitted from it, and pulled the fiery red
glow into his hand. His body immediately shot back and Xun Er also came
flashing forward in an extremely intelligent manner, blocking Bai Shan
and the other two.

“Hee hee.” Xiao Yan parted his mouth and laughed in the direction of
Bai Shan and the other two. He grabbed the fiery red glow as he went over
to Xun Er’s side. When his gaze swept the interior of the glow, he was
immediately a little startled. His throat rolled slowly.

“Not bad, it is indeed something good…”
