The vast sea of trees was filled with all kinds of Magical Beasts. Every once in a while, there would be Magical Beasts that were filled with a ferocious aura charging out from the sea of trees. They would roar furiously at the Griffin formation in the sky. Occasionally, there would be some flying Magical Beasts that would chase after them. However, each time these Magical Beasts approached a hundred meters from the formation, they would be shocked by the powerful aura that surged out from Hu Gan's group until they withdrew in a dispirited manner.
Of course, this was not completely the case. Due to the Magical Beasts being extremely dense within this vast and endless mountain, there was naturally no lack of some with frightening strength. Hence, after the flying formation flew into the back mountain of the Jia Nan Academy for half an hour, some powerful Magical Beasts began to ignore the pressure from Hu Gan's group and forcefully charged towards the Griffin formation. At this moment, Hu Gan and the three old men began to display their strength that caused one to be shocked. With each wave of his hand, a powerful energy pillar streaked across the sky like a thunderbolt. Immediately, the Shen Yue group heard a muffled sound. Those large Magical Beasts suddenly exploded into fresh blood that scattered all over the sky.
All kinds of ferocious Magical Beasts surged forward wave after wave as they flew over. However, not a single Magical Beast was able to pass through the blockade of Hu Gan's group.
Shen Yue and the others stood on the Griffins. Their faces were stunned as they watched the bodies of the Magical Beasts explode. From the aura, most of these Magical Beasts possessed the strength to contend with each of them. Even though this was the case, they were still turned into a bloody fog with a raise of their hands. This kind of strength was really something that caused one to drool.
"No wonder we need to escort them all the way. I didn't expect that the depths of the back mountain of the academy would be so dangerous. If we were to travel through the forest, with the strength of our students, I'm afraid that not many of us would be able to make it through alive.”Shen Yue laughed bitterly as he watched the blood fog that had once again exploded fifty meters away from the formation. When the group flew across the vast mountain range earlier, he had relied on his outstanding Spiritual Strength to clearly sense that there was even the aura of a rank 5 Dou Wang class Magical Beast in the dense forest below. However, a Magical Beast at this level already possessed intelligence that was not inferior to a human. Therefore, it was naturally impossible for them to not be able to see the strength of Hu Gan's group. Therefore, They were not like those Magical Beasts that were a little weaker and did not care about their lives as they attacked the Griffin formation. It was fortunate that these high level Magical Beasts knew what fear was. Otherwise, even with Hu Gan and the other four Dou Huangs escorting them, it was likely that their Griffin formation would not be able to reach their destination without suffering any injuries.
Blood fog accompanied them as they flew. Hu Gan and the other two were like sharp awls as they forcefully tore a tunnel through the Magical Beasts that covered the sky and the earth. The strength of an elite Dou Huang was so powerful.
After this seemingly barbaric collision continued for nearly an hour, the flying speed of the Griffon formation finally gradually slowed down. Sensing the slowing of their speed, Shen Yue swept his gaze forward. He was puzzled to discover that other than the bottomless mountain stream under his feet, the other places were still covered in endless greenery. Forget about the Inner Academy, there was not even a single human figure.
"What happened?" Xun Er's group exchanged glances with one another. Everyone had puzzled faces.
"Land!"
The sharpness in Hu Gan's eyes gradually disappeared. The powerful aura that had risen from Hu Gan's body earlier also quietly withdrew into his body. He smiled and waved his hand. The ten Griffins spread their wings and slowly landed on the opposite side of the mountain stream below.
The Griffon brought along a shadow and a wild wind as it steadily landed on the ground. Shen Yue and the others saw Hu Gan's gesture of waving at them. After exchanging a glance, they jumped off the Griffon in a flash and appeared on this empty ground. Their eyes looked around with blank expressions.
"Where is this? Could it be that the Inner Academy is here?" Hu Jia was the first to be unable to restrain herself and asked Hu Gan after she landed. The others also threw their gazes towards Hu Gan when they heard this question. Clearly, they also wanted to know the answer.
"It is not so easy to enter the Inner Academy.”Hu Gan faintly smiled. He immediately slowly walked over ten steps in front of everyone. After which, his footsteps paused. He waved his hand and an energy shot out explosively from his hand. Finally, it shot toward the space in front of him. A strange scene immediately appeared. One could see that the energy carried waves of water-like ripples when it shot through a certain empty space. These ripples swiftly fluctuated. Finally, a pale-silver-colored door that was seventy to eighty feet tall appeared out of nowhere!
Xun Er's group was startled when they saw the silver-colored door that had strangely appeared. Clearly, they did not expect that this seemingly ordinary place actually hid such a profound mystery.
The silver door slowly opened with a clear sound under everyone's gaze. The scene behind the door was as dense as the forest before them. It seemed no different from the dense forest before them.
"Follow me." Hu Gan waved his hand and took the lead to walk into the large silver-colored door. Dozens of students followed closely behind with curious faces.
Shen Yue didn't walk in front. He stood at the back and looked at the people who entered the silver door, before turning his gaze to the space outside the door. He discovered that those who entered the silver door seemed to have entered another space, disappearing into thin air.
"What a strange place." This scene caused a ripple to appear in Shen Yue's originally calm personality. The methods of those supreme experts were indeed something that they found difficult to understand at their current level.
After everyone, including the ten Griffins, entered the large silver-colored door, the door slowly closed. Finally, a silver-colored energy ripple spread out. The large silver-colored door gradually disappeared before it completely disappeared. At this moment, this region had once again turned into an extremely ordinary forest entrance.
Stepping through the silver door, Shen Yue felt his mind go into a trance. His feet landed on solid ground. Sweeping his gaze forward, he discovered that the scene in front of him was the same as the forest from before. However, at this moment, at the entrance of the forest, there were actually two old men and a few middle-aged men who had appeared at some unknown time. Additionally, there were nearly twenty young men standing behind them. Shen Yue's gaze swept past them and discovered that on their chests, They were all wearing a badge with a tower-like pattern engraved on it.
"Ke ke, Old Man Hu, you are always so punctual. I let you escort the new students because I can rest assured. How are the new students this year?。”At this moment, one of the two old men looked at the large group of people that had entered and smilingly spoke to Hu Gan, who was leading the group.
"Not bad, definitely better than last year.”Hu Gan smiled and said,"I didn't expect that it would be the two of you old fellows 'turn to be on duty this year. Looks like you'll be tired."”
"I have no choice." The two old men shook their heads helplessly.
"The five of you, come here." Hu Gan turned around and waved his hand at Shen Yue's group of five. Only after seeing them arrive by his side did he point at the two old men and say,"These two are the Elders of the Inner Academy. This is Elder Su and the other is Elder Qing. In the future, if you have any problems within the Inner Academy, you can look for them. Ke ke, these five little fellows are the top five of this year's qualifiers. Their strength is not bad.”Hu Gan's last sentence was naturally said to Elder Su and Elder Qing.
"Oh?" Hearing this, the two elders 'eyes swept over the five of them with some surprise. Finally, they nodded slightly and said,"To be able to obtain the top five at such an age, his potential is indeed much better than the previous batch.”
"Yo, what a beautiful girl. Looks like there will be two more people on the Inner Academy's beauty ranking. I thought Ling Xiang had already secured first place this year. I didn't expect to have two more strong opponents!”After Mystic Moon's group of five came out, the eyes of the young men behind the middle-aged men lit up, whistling and laughing.
"Shut up, whoever utters any more nonsense will have five days of tower cultivation deducted!”Elder Su turned around and rebuked. Those youngsters immediately stopped smiling. Clearly, the deduction of the so-called tower cultivation time was extremely frightening to them.
"As expected, that fellow is really in the Inner Academy!”Shen Yue, who had never been good at expressing her emotions, actually revealed a rarely seen solemn expression this time. This change caused many people to look at Shen Yue, who was deep in thought.
After reprimanding the group of youths until they did not dare to speak, Elder Su turned his head and slowly said to the new students,"All of you are new here. I hope that all of you can try your best to adapt to this place. In that case, all of you will obtain great benefits. Look at these bastards. In the past, although they passed the Outer Academy's selection, they were only ranked at the bottom. However, in just a year, I dare to say that their strength will definitely be able to enter the top ten among all of you.”
Shen Yue was slightly startled when he heard this. He turned his gaze towards those young people and focused his gaze. He could sense that these young people were indeed very strong. The number of people who could defeat them in this group could be counted with one's hands. These were merely those who were ranked at the bottom in the previous years 'qualifiers. From this, it was sufficient to see just how much their strength had soared after entering the Inner Academy.
"Alright, let's not talk any more nonsense. Although all of you have already passed the qualifier and obtained the qualification to enter the Inner Academy, it is not over yet." Elder Su smiled. He waved his hand and a large pile of dark-black chips appeared in it. He randomly threw them and the chips shot out. They immediately appeared to have eyes as they floated in front of everyone. Xun Er and the others were startled. They extended their hands and grabbed them.
As soon as the crystal entered their hands, Shen Yue and the others felt a strange heat seeping out of it. They lowered their heads and examined it carefully. They discovered that there was a transparent mirror on the crystal. On the mirror, there was a large red word: "Five!"
"What is the meaning of this?" Hu Jia was a little puzzled as she looked at the red word number. She lifted her gaze, only to be somewhat stunned as she saw the group of young people standing behind the middle-aged man. At this moment, their eyes were burning hot as they looked at the dark-black crystal chips in their hands. There was an unconcealed desire in their eyes.
"It's because some things are quite troublesome to explain. You will naturally understand in the future. However, you only need to know one thing now. That is to take good care of the crystal chips in your hands as if they were your lives. Of course, if you look at the eyes of these guys, you might understand something.”Elder Su pointed at the group of young people and smiled as he spoke.
Shen Yue and Xun Er exchanged glances and nodded slightly. The chip in her hand shook and was stored into her Storage Ring.
"Next, you need to enter the forest and successfully reach the inner court at the end of the forest.”Elder Su's finger remained on the group of young people as he said indifferently,"When you pass through this forest, you must be careful of them. According to the rules of the Inner Academy, they can attack as they please in this forest. In other words, they can attack you.”
"Remember, the number of words on the crystal chips in your hands possess a great allure to them. Therefore, other than killing people, they will use all means to obtain the 'Fire Energy' on your crystal chips. You will find it very familiar and cute in the future. Now, you will have to avoid them or defeat them. As long as you are not caught by them and successfully reach the Inner Academy, you will have the final reward. The earlier you arrive, the richer the reward.”
Elder Su's finger suddenly moved to the pitch-black forest behind him."Our Inner Academy calls this forest robbery the 'Fire Energy Hunting Competition'."
"Now, I announce that this year's 'Fire Energy Hunting Competition' has officially begun! Students, start running!"
