The leaves in the dense and quiet forest suddenly trembled slightly. A couple of human figures rushed out from the tree branches. Their bodies pressed against the tree trunk like a monkey and once again charged forward. With a couple of jumps, they swiftly disappeared at the end of the tree branches.
"Stop!" As the human figures flashed, the leading human figure suddenly raised his hand. Immediately, the four figures behind him swiftly landed on the tree trunk. After which, they threw puzzled gazes at the black-robed, young man in front of them.
"What's wrong?" Hu Jia's eyes swept around her, but she did not discover any activity. She involuntarily asked in a soft voice with some doubt.
"Someone is coming. Hide first.”Shen Yue's gaze was fixed on the left. His outstanding spiritual perception gave him an outstanding ability to survive in the forest. He could sense movements that others could not. This was something that would make it difficult for him to be passive in a hunting competition.
Other than Xun Er, Hu Jia and the others were a little stunned when they heard Shen Yue's words. They did not sense any aura approaching them. However, when they saw Shen Yue's expression and recalled his current status as the captain, the three of them could only nod their heads slightly. Immediately, the five of them flashed at the same time and swiftly entered the dense forest below.
Around five minutes after Shen Yue and the others had concealed themselves, a slight rushing wind sound suddenly rang out from within the dense forest not far away. Soon after, five figures gradually appeared and finally stopped not far away from where Shen Yue and the others were hiding. Their sharp gazes slowly swept across this quiet forest.
The gazes of Shen Yue's group of five stared intently at the five Inner Academy's older students a short distance away through the gaps in the forest. From the auras that seeped out from their bodies, these few people were actually around the three or four star Da Dou Shi class.
However, even though these people were quite strong, they were still a bit weaker than the five of them. In addition, they weren't rookies with weak minds, so they naturally wouldn't make any unnecessary coughing sounds. As a result, after the five seniors searched for a while, they could only leave helplessly.
After the five of them left, Bai Shan's body moved slightly in an attempt to stand up. However, Shen Yue's expression changed slightly as he softly said,"Don't move!"
"Why are you so anxious? Everyone has left." Bai Shan could not resist replying as he was extremely displeased with Xiao Yan's reprimand. Although his mouth spoke in this manner, his body did not dare to make any big movements.
Shen Yue ignored him. He merely threw his gaze towards the spot where the five people had disappeared earlier. Bai Shan and the others were startled when they saw this action of his. They could only continue to follow his gaze.
A quiet atmosphere lingered over the forest. This continued for nearly three to four minutes before the tree branches where Shen Yue's group's gazes were cast suddenly trembled. Immediately, a couple of human figures flashed out in a scattered manner. From their appearances, they were surprisingly the group of people who should have left earlier. Bai Shan's expression immediately changed slightly and was a little resentful.
"No one. Willow, you're really paranoid. We can't waste time like this.”The person on the tree branch shook his head when he saw that there was still no movement in the surroundings. He turned around and said to a skinny young man in green.
The young man named Willow nodded helplessly and said hesitantly,"I train in wood affinity Dou Qi. Hence, my senses in the forest are much sharper than usual. Perhaps it was just an illusion earlier.”He was a little uncertain when he spoke to the end. He could only say this before he turned around and rushed towards another part of the dense forest. Four figures followed closely behind him.
"The people in this Inner Academy are indeed not ordinary people." Shen Yue slowly stood up from the forest as he watched the five people leave. He sighed. If it was not for his Spiritual Perception probing, it was likely that he would have been caught by these fellows who appeared to have left but were actually hiding at the side the moment he appeared.
Hu Jia and the others also pushed open the forest and stood up. Their gazes shifted from the spot where the group of people had left to Shen Yue. Hu Jia, Wu Hao, and even Bai Shan had a little trust in their eyes. At the very least, Shen Yue had the ability to detect the other party's tracks before they had discovered them. Moreover, she had brought them to avoid a situation where they would have been caught. Just this point alone was enough to show that Shen Yue had succeeded as the leader.
Shen Yue frowned and slowly said,"Let's go. We've just been running around randomly. We don't know where we are now. If we continue to run around randomly like this,"
"I think we should think of a way to get some information about this forest and the exact number and strength of the seniors participating in the hunting competition. Otherwise, if we were to charge forward like this, it would be inevitable that we would end up being surrounded due to our lack of information about the other party. Perhaps we would be able to obtain victory when facing a group of seniors, but if we were to attract the attention of other groups of seniors during the battle, I think we might not be able to defeat all of them, right? For some unknown reason, these students of the Inner Academy seemed to possess a wealth of battle experience. Xun Er hesitated for a moment before suddenly opening her mouth to speak.
Hu Jia, Wu Hao, and Bai Shan were slightly startled when they heard this. They mused for a moment and nodded. What Xun Er said was true. If they randomly charged around in this unfamiliar place, they would sooner or later be delayed by some powerful groups of older students.
"In this place, the only people who possess this information are those older students of the Inner Academy, right? Should he get this information from them?”Bai Shan frowned and said.
Shen Yue's palm slowly rubbed his chin. After a long while, he muttered,"Let's go for a while and see. If there's a chance to attack, we might be able to choose a group of older students to attack. We're not an ordinary group. As long as we're careful and don't attract the other groups of older students, I think we should be able to take one.”
"Eh?" Hu Jia and the others were stunned when they heard Shen Yue's words. The other new students were thinking of ways to hide from the older student groups, but now Shen Yue wanted to target the older student groups?
"This is too risky." Bai Shan shook his head and did not quite agree.
"Everyone, sharpening a knife doesn't cost cutting firewood. If we were to wander around in this huge forest by ourselves, how long would it take? Moreover, all of you should have seen just how much those older students drool over this so-called 'Fire Energy.' I think that this thing is likely extremely important within the Inner Academy, right? Since they can come and snatch our 'Fire Energy', why can't we snatch theirs? In order not to regret it in the future, it was not a loss to take a risk.”Shen Yue casually looked at the four of them, but his deep analysis made the four of them ponder.
Hu Jia and Wu Hao's eyes flickered when they heard this. They were a little moved. After musing for a long while, the two of them nodded heavily."We can try first."
Shen Yue nodded slightly when she saw that the two of them did not object. She turned her head and threw her gaze toward Bai Shan. She said indifferently,"What about you?"
Bai Shan's expression continued to change under the gazes of Shen Yue's group. A moment later, he violently clenched his teeth and said,"Alright, let's give it a try. However, let me say this first. If any accidents happen, you, the captain, will be responsible for covering the rear.”
Nodding her head, Shen Yue pretended not to hear the last sentence and waved her hand,"Since everyone has agreed, let's go. Instead of being robbed, it's better to rob others.”
After saying that, Shen Yue took the lead to move, turning into a black shadow as she entered the dense forest. Xun Er and the others followed closely behind.
After deciding on their next strategy, Mystic Moon and the others began to focus their attention on the older student groups that they occasionally encountered. In the past two hours, they had encountered three groups, but because these three groups were too close to each other, they had no choice but to give up on the opportunity to attack.
Within the dense forest, Shen Yue and the others looked at the group of seniors that had once again flashed past their heads and helplessly shook their heads. They could sense that there was another group that was still a hundred meters north of them. The ripples of the battle here would definitely be transmitted over. Thus, for the sake of safety, they could only give up on attacking this time.
Shen Yue made a hand gesture to the people behind him. As a result, the four people who had already begun to surge their Dou Qi could only turn silent once again.
Not long after the group of older students left, Shen Yue was just about to leave with his people when his footsteps paused. He turned his head and looked towards the north. He felt that the group there had suddenly stopped.
"Let's go." After hesitating for a moment, Shen Yue waved his hand and led the four of them through the dense forest towards the north.
Around five minutes later, Shen Yue's group suddenly came to a halt. Their gazes passed through the gaps between the dense leaves and looked at an empty space outside. At this moment, ten figures were crisscrossing and flashing across this empty space. Every once in a while, a young man would vomit blood and faint. This continued for merely two to three minutes before five young people, who were clearly new students, were completely defeated. A group of people were surrounded in the middle of the empty space. Around them, five older students were lazily standing. Faint fighting energy was being emitted from their fists.
Xun Er, Hu Jia, and the other two looked at Shen Yue as they watched the scene on the empty ground. Clearly, they were waiting for him to make a decision.
Shen Yue's eyes narrowed as he activated his soul perception to its maximum range. After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes and nodded.
"Tsk tsk, we're really lucky today. We've already met two waves of new students. Haha, our harvest isn't bad.”In the empty ground, a blue-clothed young man looked at the three additional 'Fire Energy' on his crystal card. He involuntarily licked his lips and laughed.
"Many thanks, fellow juniors. If you are not satisfied in the future, you can look for us in the Inner Academy. We will be waiting for your challenge at any time. Of course, the prerequisite is that you have sufficient 'Fire Energy'. Ha ha.”The blue-clothed young man waved the crystal card in his hand at the five green-faced new students and smilingly said.
"Let's go and find our next target.”The blue-clothed, young man waved his hand after he spoke. His four companions turned around and immediately rushed in another direction.
"No need to look, we're here.”
A faint laughter suddenly sounded from a tree branch the moment the blue-clothed young man and the other two turned around. The former hurriedly raised his head only to see that three men and two women had unknowingly appeared on the tree branches around the empty ground. They were already surrounded by them.
The blue clothed young man and his group were all startled by the sudden appearance of the five new students. They were somewhat unable to recover from their shock. Shouldn't these new students be fleeing like rats? Why did these guys still dare to appear in front of them openly?
"Yo, what a beautiful girl. Everyone, you have to be gentler later. Otherwise, if you leave a bad impression, you won't have a chance in the future.”A moment later, the blue-clothed young man and the other three finally recovered. Their gazes swept over the few people on the tree trunk. Finally, their eyes brightened as they paused on the two young ladies. Immediately, mocking laughter sounded.
"What about the other three?" A companion asked with a smile.
The blue-clothed young man smiled slightly when he heard this. A fierce aura flashed across his eyes as he spread his hands and helplessly said,"Since these newcomers are so arrogant, we, as seniors, should naturally properly teach them how to survive within the Inner Academy, right? Therefore, he would first let them see blood. This method was the most efficient way to let them know what kind of attitude they should maintain within the Inner Academy.”
"Hehe." The four older students beside him laughed when they heard his words. They immediately lifted their heads. Their eyes were filled with malicious intent as they stared at the three young men on the tree trunk.
"Their strength is barely around that of a five star Da Dou Shi. Each of you will take one. Do not delay and end the battle quickly. Remember, not a single one of you can escape!”Shen Yue indifferently looked at the five older students on the empty ground. She tilted her head and looked at Xun Er, Bai Shan and the other three as she reminded them.
"Yes." The four of them nodded slightly. They exchanged glances with each other before their bodies shook slightly. Powerful Dou Qi suddenly surged out. Their bodies moved and appeared on the empty ground with lightning-like speed!
The expressions of the blue-clothed, young man, and the other five on the empty ground finally changed drastically after powerful Dou Qi surged out of Xun Er's group. Just from the looks of their auras, these five new students were actually much stronger than them!
"Damn it, I've kicked an iron plate this time! Why are these new students so strong?" An extremely bad feeling swiftly flashed across the blue-clothed, young man's heart. He waved his hand. However, before he could shout for his companions to quickly retreat, a black figure suddenly appeared in front of him in a strange manner. The former's eyes narrowed. His fist, which contained a powerful Dou Qi, violently swung toward the black figure's head without the slightest hesitation. "Lightning Evasion, Thousand Birds Flow!"
The moment the blue-clad young man punched out, the black shadow formed a seal with both hands. In a breath, countless blue snake-like electric currents suddenly slid from the surface of the black shadow's body into the ground, using the ground as a medium to quickly climb up the blue-clad young man's body. The sharp screeches sounded like thousands of birds crying in a flock.
"This time, we've failed miserably." Feeling the pain from the electric current all over his body, the blue-clothed young man's eyes rolled back. Blood slowly flowed out from the corner of his mouth. The electric current wantonly fiddled with his body. A shock suddenly rose in his heart. He endured the pain as if his entire body was being cut. He raised his gaze and saw a masked face with a cold intent and a pair of light purple eyes. Fortunately, Mystic Moon only allowed a small amount of electricity to enter the blue clothed youth's body. Otherwise, the blue-clad young man would have been electrocuted to the point of meeting the King of Hell in an instant.
A mouthful of fresh blood was suddenly spat out. The blue-clothed, young man's entire body was numb as he hurriedly took a couple of steps back. A fierce aura also flashed across his face. His body shook and pale-blue Dou Qi swiftly surged out of his body, forcing out the numb feeling in his body. Finally, a blue Dou Qi armor formed on the surface of his body.
However, a ghost-like black figure once again appeared in front of him the moment his Dou Qi armor was formed. Immediately, the blue-clothed young man felt his eyes blur. Soon after, an enormous pain spread from his chest. Finally, he felt his body suddenly shoot backwards. A moment later, he heavily smashed into a tree trunk and spat out another mouthful of fresh blood. He lowered his head with difficulty and was shocked to discover that the Dou Qi armor that he had just summoned…It actually completely collapsed under the other party's attack. There were also several blue electric snakes that were coiling around it!
The blue-clothed, young man's body was curled up like a large prawn. Before he could raise his head, he heard a couple of muffled sounds sounding beside his ears. After which, his four companions rolled to his side with blood all over their faces. Only at this moment did his face reveal an additional panic.
