A pair of feet suddenly appeared in front of the blue-clothed young man as he hugged his chest. A faint voice sounded,"If you want to continue being beaten up, then all of you can shrink back. I don't mind kicking you a few more times.”
The blue-clothed, young man's body trembled when he heard these words. After which, he hurriedly lifted his head while trembling. He looked at the black-robed, young man standing in front of him and the two men and two women behind him. There was some fear in his eyes,"What do you want?"
"I'll ask, you guys answer." Shen Yue looked down at the five terrified seniors from above, his hand slowly grabbing the hilt of the Wind Silver Moon sword on his back. With a sudden slash, the long blade brought with it a huge oppressive wind sound as it stabbed into the ground in front of the blue clothed youth. The sharp blade gave the latter a great sense of oppression.
"What do you want to ask?" The blue-clothed young man swallowed a mouthful of saliva and slowly calmed down. No matter what, according to the rules, killing was not allowed in this forest. Otherwise, the Elders who were constantly paying attention to the movements in the forest would immediately appear. Moreover, the severity of the punishment for those who violated the rules would be determined according to the circumstances. Hence, other than being a little worried that he would suffer physical pain, he did not have anything to worry about his life.
"How big is this forest?" Mystic Moon pondered for a moment, first asking the simplest and most important question. If the forest was large, then they would have to be prepared for a long battle. If it was small, then perhaps they could change their strategy and directly charge towards their destination.
"Very big." The blue clothed youth's reply caused Shen Yue's expressionless face to furrow.
"Do you have a rough map of the forest?”Shen Yue glanced at the blue-clothed young man. Suddenly, she waved her hand and turned her head to Xun Er and the other three."Each of you grab a person to the side and interrogate him. Then, we will testify later. If anyone's answer is different from the others, then you can't blame us for being ruthless. Although we can't kill people here, it shouldn't be against the rules to accidentally injure them, right?”
Shen Yue naturally turned to the blue clothed youth and the others.
Shen Yue's words caused the expressions of the blue-clothed young man and the other five to turn extremely ugly. Such an action had basically completely dispelled any thoughts of lying.
Hu Jia's group of four carried an older student and walked to the side. Wu Hao turned around and involuntarily said a sentence from under his blood-red robe,"Good move."
Shen Yue smiled and turned to look at the blue clothed youth before him. She slowly said,"Answer now."
"There is a rough route map, but it cannot be considered detailed. This map was purchased from the Inner Academy when we participated in the Hunting Competition. It cost us a full day's 'Fire Energy.'”The blue clothed youth laughed bitterly, obediently taking out a coarse piece of paper from his storage ring and handing it over to Shen Yue.
"Don't you all place great importance on 'Fire Energy? He was actually willing to spend one to buy such a crude thing?”Receiving the paper, the lines on it that were like a few large black crosses made Mystic Moon's mouth twitch slightly. This could be considered a route map?
"No one is willing to buy it, but this is something that the Inner Academy must buy.”The blue-clothed, young man's mouth trembled when he mentioned this. A pained expression surfaced on his face as he spoke through clenched teeth. Back then, when he was buying this lousy thing, his heart was bleeding. If it was not because he was able to snatch the 'Fire Energy' from the hands of the new students by participating in the Hunting Competition, he would not have spent a day's worth of 'Fire Energy' to buy this dogsh * t route map even if he was beaten to death. Those bastards in the Inner Academy were simply vampires.
"How many seniors are participating in the Hunting Competition?”Shen Yue kept the map and asked with a frown.
"It's also 50 people. Five people in a group, a total of 10 groups.”The blue-clad young man looked at the interrogation on the other four sides and sighed helplessly. He couldn't tell if his companions would tell the truth or not. However, when he thought of the probability of the two, he could only choose to tell the truth.
"How is his strength? Are they all similar to you?" Shen Yue continued to ask.
Shen Yue's words made the blue clothed youth roll his eyes. What did he mean by similar to you?
"There are eight groups that are about the same as us. We are all students who entered the Inner Academy last year. There are also two groups that are older students from the previous batch. They have stayed in the Inner Academy for a longer period of time than us. Hence, their strength is stronger than ours. I think that they are probably about the same as you." The blue clothed young man looked at Shen Yue with a somewhat strange expression. He seemed to be muttering about why this new student was actually so strong. It should be known that when their batch of new students had just entered the Inner Academy last year, even those few fellows who were in the top five were sent. They had all been robbed once in this forest. Although they had resisted before, it was because of the discord between them that it was difficult to form a large-scale counterattack. Therefore, they were finally divided and defeated. How could it be as strange as this year? The older students were robbed by the new students instead?
When he thought of this depressing matter, the blue-clothed young man had the urge to curse. They were both new students, but why was the difference in treatment so great?
"About the same as me?" Shen Yue gently raised his eyebrows when he heard this. At the very least, with his current four star Dou Huang strength, no one would dare to interfere with him if he did as he pleased in Jia Nan Academy.
"Those two groups are very easy to identify. One group is completely black clothed, while the other group is completely white clothed. Every year, there will be two powerful groups participating in the Hunting Competition. The Inner Academy calls these two strongest groups the Black and White Evil Gates. In the recent ten years, it seems that there has never been any new student group that was able to break through their obstruction.”The blue-clothed young man's words carried a hint of respect.
"Black and White Evil Gate?" Shen Yue muttered this name in his mouth and nodded slightly. He turned his head and exchanged glances with Xun Er and the others before asking the most important question,"What is the use of this so-called 'Fire Energy' in the Inner Academy? Why are you all so crazy?"
"Fire Energy is the most important thing in the Inner Academy. This is also the reason why the strength of the new students will soar after they enter the Inner Academy to train.”This question caused the blue-clothed young man to hesitate for quite a while. Only then, when the Mystic Moon Hand grasped the hilt of the Silver Moon Blade, did he helplessly open his mouth and say,"There is a 'Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower' that is buried deep underground within the Inner Academy. Training within the tower will allow one to obtain twice the result with half the effort. Moreover, the lower one trains, the faster one's training speed will be. Of course, the cost is also ridiculously expensive."
"If you wish to enter the 'Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower', you will need the' Fire Energy 'within the Fire Crystal Card to act as a fee. The' Fire Energy 'is displayed by the number of days. The Fire Crystal Card in your hands is sufficient for you to train in the tower for five days. After five days, all of you can only earn' Fire Energy 'by yourselves. Of course, on the first day of each month, the Inner Academy will give each person seven days worth of' Fire Energy 'as living expenses.”When he said the last word, the blue-clothed young man's expression was a little strange.
Shen Yue's eyes narrowed after hearing the blue-clothed young man's words. Back then, when she watched Dou Po, she only saw Xiao Yan participating in the Alchemist Competition when he first arrived at Gama Sacred City. It was unexpected that the training method of this Inner Academy was so strange. One actually had to pay a fee if one wanted to enter the so called 'Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower'. This so called fee was the' Fire Energy 'on the Fire Crystal Card.
"So if we want to cultivate, we need fire energy as a fee. No wonder these guys are so greedy for the fire energy in our hands." He glanced at the blue-clothed young man and softly said,"Then, if we use up all of our Fire Energy, how do we obtain it? Could it be that he could only wait for the inner court to distribute it next month?”
"Of course not. Within the Inner Academy, you can use all sorts of methods to obtain 'Fire Energy'. For example, sweeping the tower, copying scrolls, etc. Of course, the amount of' Fire Energy 'that you can obtain by relying on these methods is somewhat small. Hence, some students with strength will hunt Magical Beasts and use Monster Cores to exchange for' Fire Energy 'or find someone to challenge. As long as the other party agrees, they will be able to compete in the Fighting Arena of the Inner Academy. The victor will be able to obtain the' Fire Energy 'that has been deducted from the loser's hands. In short, there are many methods to obtain' Fire Energy'. However, There was a prerequisite, and that was that you had sufficient strength. Otherwise, not only would you not be able to earn Fire Energy, you would even lose everything.”The blue-clothed youth spread his hands and hesitated for a moment before saying,"There is still another method to earn Fire Energy. That is to enter the 'Strong Ranking' of the Inner Academy. As its name implies, this is a ranking that measures one's strength. It is also the most valuable ranking within the Inner Academy. There are fifty spots on the ranking. As long as you are able to enter, you will be able to obtain the prize money that the Inner Academy will give you every month. The prize money is linked to the ranking. The higher you go, the more you will naturally receive. This is the most comfortable method to obtain Fire Energy. This is because as long as you are able to place your name on it. In that case, one would be able to shrink into the 'Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower' and train all day long without having to worry about the exhaustion of the 'Fire Energy'. Therefore, all the students in the Inner Academy were struggling and working hard toward this' Strong Ranking'. The intensity of the competition was so intense that it caused one to be stunned. Many people would often be on the 'Strong Ranking' on the first day and would be desperately challenged by those who came later on the second day.”
Shen Yue let out a deep breath and nodded slightly. Although his face was calm, his heart had already begun to be stirred by the true anticipation and curiosity of the mysterious Inner Academy. This kind of extremely strange system was indeed worthy of being the cradle that gave birth to a strong person!
It was very difficult for students within the Outer Academy to feel this kind of competition. Hence, although the Outer Academy did not lack some talented individuals, it was ultimately impossible for them to truly compare with the Inner Academy. This was because the system here was basically specially designed to nurture the strong!
"The 'Fire Energy' hehe, looks like it is indeed an extremely alluring thing. Now, even I am drooling over the allure of this 'Fire Energy' in my heart.”This was the first time Shen Yue laughed, but the smile hidden under the mask was not visible.
They turned their heads and looked at Xun Er's group. At this moment, they had coincidentally turned their gazes over. Five pairs of eyes intertwined and they could see the fiery heat in each of their eyes. Clearly, this Inner Academy had truly stirred their hearts. That Fire Energy had also been firmly remembered in their hearts.
With the 'Fire Energy' in the Inner Academy, it signified that one's training speed had increased. It also signified that one was getting closer to becoming a strong person!
"Fire energy is really good stuff."
Shen Yue murmured in his heart, and the corners of his mouth suddenly curled up into a sinister smile that chilled the youth in blue. However, no matter what expression he made, as long as it wasn't an expression that showed his facial muscles moving too much, no one could see it. This was also the first time he had expressed his feelings openly. This could also be considered a training!
He slowly lowered his head and looked at the latter with a cunning gaze. He said in a gentle voice,"Many thanks for this senior's information, but next, please hand over the Fire Crystal Card in your hand to me, alright?”
"From now on, the positions of the hunter and the prey in this hunting competition can be switched because the prey has already begun to be interested in the hunter."
Looking at the number 26 on the black Fire Crystal Card, Shen Yue softly muttered.
