In the dense forest, scattered sunlight shone through the gaps of the leaves. The spots of light shone on the ground covered with dead leaves, making the entire forest seem a little dreamy.
Footsteps suddenly sounded in the quiet forest. The sound approached from afar. A moment later, five figures suddenly appeared. The five of them seemed to be a small group, but they were constantly quarreling with each other. Sharp curses echoed in the forest.
"Yo, what a leisurely few of you. You actually have the time to quarrel at this time?”A faint mocking voice suddenly sounded from within the forest. The five people walking around suddenly stiffened. The few of them hurriedly raised their heads, only to see five young people standing in a disorderly manner on the tree branches above their heads. These young people were wearing a tower shaped badge on their chests. At this moment, these six young people were looking at the five people below with mocking faces. Their expressions were like cats that had seen mice.
"Are you all here to snatch that so-called 'Fire Energy?”A tall young man among the five people coldly laughed. Since he was able to become one of the top fifty in the Jia Nan Academy's Outer Academy, his strength was naturally not weak. Hence, he did not feel much fear towards these young people, who were around his age.
"Smart." On the tree branch, a young man with a snake-shaped scar on his face laughed and snapped his fingers. He immediately said with a smile,"Since all of you know our goal, there is no need to speak any nonsense. Hand over the 'Fire Energy' and avoid suffering a physical pain. How about it?”
"Dream?" A thin and weak young man curled his mouth. However, his words had just sounded when the human figure in front of him suddenly flashed. Immediately, a human figure appeared in front of him. A wind that tore through the air suddenly appeared. Finally, it was like lightning as a foot heavily kicked the stomach of the thin and weak young man. Immediately, the latter's body shot back explosively and smashed into a tree trunk. A mouthful of fresh blood was spat out. He struggled a couple of times but was still unable to successfully get up.
"F * ck, go!" The tall young man was furious when he saw his companion being beaten. He let out a furious cry and was about to attack. However, his voice had just sounded when he heard a muffled sound behind him. He hurriedly turned around and saw that his other three companions had already turned into rolling gourds and had been kicked to a spot. Beside them, three young men were hugging their chests with disdain on their faces.
"Brother, remember, no matter how well you did in the outer court, when you first came to the inner court, if you are a dragon, you have to coil up. If you are a tiger, you have to lie down. These are all experiences that senior and I have summed up through countless physical pains.”A faint laughter suddenly sounded beside the tall young man's ear. Immediately, a figure rushed over. A fist the size of a clay pot violently smashed into his face. Immediately, the young man fell to the ground with a mouth full of fresh blood.
"If you don't want to continue being beaten, then take out your Fire Crystal Card.”The young man with the snake-shaped scar on his face twisted his fist and said in a faint voice.
The expressions of the five new students from earlier changed slightly when they heard his words. However, a moment later, they could only clench their teeth and take out the so-called Fire Crystal Card while thinking in their hearts that a wise man would not fight when the odds were against him.
After receiving the cards from the five people, the young man's face flashed with a hint of heat. He hugged the cards and gave them a fierce kiss. After which, he waved his hand and threw the remaining four cards to his four companions. With a flip of his hand, a light blue card appeared in his hand. Upon closer inspection, there was actually a fiery red number of 47 on the surface of this light blue card.
Holding the black card in one hand and the light blue card in the other, the scarred youth pressed them tightly together and rubbed them hard. Suddenly, the two cards flashed. After a moment, the light disappeared. However, the number on the light blue card had already become fifty, while the number on the black card had changed from five to two.
"Tch, what lousy rule? You still have to leave two days of 'Fire Energy' for the new students. What a waste."”The scar-faced young man curled his lips and spoke in an extremely displeased manner when he saw the number left behind on the black card.
"Let's go, Lin Ge. We still have to make use of the time to continue looking for other teams. It wasn't easy for us to obtain the qualifications to participate in the 'Fire Energy Hunting Competition'. If we can't get back six days worth of' Fire Energy', then we'll suffer a huge loss.”The other young man kept the Fire Crystal Card in his hand and threw the jet-black crystal card back to the unlucky freshman. Then, he turned his head and said to the scar-faced young man.
"Okay, let's go." The young man called Lin Ge nodded and smiled at the five new students on the ground."Pitiful fellow, this is the consequence of not understanding a team. You'll have to remember this in the future. Next year, you can also be like us and come to snatch the 'Fire Energy' of the new students. Don't hold grudges, because this is a step that every new student must pass when entering the Inner Academy. Haha, let's go."”
Letting out a loud laugh, Lin Ge waved his hand and the five of them rushed up the tree branches. After which, they chased deep into the forest, leaving behind five dejected and green-faced new students.
Following the departure of the group of older students, the few new students could only get up with gloomy faces after being dispirited for a long while. They fiercely looked at each other and actually scattered, going their separate ways.
Five human figures were hiding in a dense forest a few dozen meters away from this open space. From the looks of it, the direction they were looking at was the place where the five new students had left. Clearly, they had clearly seen the encounter of the group of new students earlier.
"Looks like the 'Fire Energy' within this Crystal Card has an extremely important use within the Inner Academy. Otherwise, those fellows would not be so eager to obtain it.”Shen Yue slowly withdrew her gaze and looked at the black crystal card in her hand as well as the large number '5' on it.
"Yes." Xun Er and the others nodded their heads slightly. The reason why those fellows were snatching was extremely clear. It was merely the 'Fire Energy' on the crystal card.
"Let's go. Those fellows have also left, so let's not dawdle here. Didn't Elder Su say that the earlier we arrive, the more generous the rewards will be?”Bai Shan frowned and urged.
"Wait a minute." Shen Yue waved her hand and stopped Bai Shan. The latter frowned and said in a cold voice,"What's wrong with you now?"
Shen Yue glanced at him and said slowly,"I don't care about the conflicts between us, but since we are now in a team, I think we should perhaps understand a little about what is called team spirit. Otherwise, the group of new students from before will be a lesson for us.”
Hu Jia and the others nodded. From the actions of the group of older students earlier and the tacit understanding of their cooperation, it was obvious that they were often together. Their strength was not much weaker than their group. If it was a one on one battle, the five of them might be able to obtain victory. However, if it was a group battle, it would likely not be too difficult for them to deal with their group, which each had their own ulterior motives, with the tacit understanding of the others.
"Then what do you mean?" Hu Jia's bright eyes stared at Shen Yue as she asked with a frown.
"Since we're a team, we naturally need a leader. The leader will be in charge of commanding and assigning tasks. What I mean is that we need to find a leader among the five of us. Otherwise, if we fight on our own, it'll be very difficult for us to successfully walk out of the forest."
Hu Jia and the others were startled when they heard this. They immediately hesitated for a moment before nodding their heads. Shen Yue's words were not false. A group that was commanded would forever be able to display a stronger fighting strength than a group of scattered sand!
"Then who will be the captain?" Wu Hao, who was wrapped in a blood-red robe, was silent for a moment before asking the most difficult question.
Shen Yue and the others fell silent after hearing his words. A moment later, Xun Er's feet moved slightly and stood beside Shen Yue. She used her actions to express her choice.
The expressions of Bai Shan and the others changed a little when they saw Xun Er's action. A long while later, Hu Jia, who was frowning, could only helplessly shake her head and say,"Alright, on account of Xun Er, I will believe you this once.”
After speaking, she came to Shen Yue's side and looked at the other two.
"I admire your strength. I have no objections to listening to your commands." Wu Hao's deep voice slowly sounded. Soon after, he walked towards Shen Yue.
Bai Shan's expression was a little ugly as he looked at the three people standing beside Shen Yue. His eyes flickered with uncertainty.
"Bai Shan, if you are unwilling, the four of us might have to leave first.”Shen Yue's eyes stared at Bai Shan as she spoke in a faint voice.
"You." Bai Shan's expression changed when he heard this. He could only nod his head hatefully and walk towards Shen Yue with large strides."Alright, the current you is the captain of our team. However, let me say this first. Don't think of using us to lead the attack. We are not fools who will be used as guns by others.”
"These matters are something that our team has to deal with together. I naturally won't want anyone to fight alone.”Shen Yue looked at the four of them, her light purple eyes suddenly flashing with a sharp light, somewhat demonic. "However, since I've already become the captain, before we leave this forest, I hope that you won't disobey me and cause any unfavorable things to happen to us. Otherwise, don't blame me, the Imperial Wind Divine Moon. It's not the first time we've come into contact. You should be clear about my personality. Last time, I was able to make you all lie in the infirmary for seven days. This time, I can do it again."
Hu Jia curled her mouth when she heard Shen Yue's words that contained a warning. However, she did not voice her objection. Wu Hao nodded. The corner of Bai Shan's mouth twitched. It was a long while later before he suppressed the surging emotions in his heart.
However, no matter how the three reacted, at least Mystic Moon now had the authority to command this small team. Next, it was time for the real challenge!
