"Creak."
A wooden door was slowly pushed open. A ray of sunlight spread through the crack of the door and finally formed a slender ray of light on the ground.
As the wooden door was completely pushed open, the light swiftly expanded. Immediately, a couple of human figures of varying lengths, who were pulled by the sunlight, walked in. The leader of the group, an old man, swept his gaze over the spacious small building and laughed,"Brat Yu Feng, the four of you will be staying here in the future.”
"Four people?"
Hu Jia, who was following behind, could not help but be startled when she heard this. She immediately said in a stunned voice,"Elder Su, could it be that you want Xun Er and I, two girls, to live together with these two men?”
"Ke ke, Hu Jia girl, this pavilion is so big and there are quite a few rooms. It's not like I'm letting you all sleep on the same bed.”Elder Su smiled and shook his head. His eyes looked at the four of them and said,"Oh right, you still have a member?”
"Uh." Hearing Elder Su's question, Shen Yue paused and shrugged, not knowing how to answer.
"When they ran, they saw the Black Demon Team's tyrannical strength, so they abandoned us.”Hu Jia spread her hands and coldly laughed. She did not have the scruples of Shen Yue and did not show any mercy to Bai Shan when she spoke. Clearly, Bai Shan's action of abandoning his companions and fleeing alone caused her to feel extremely disdainful.
"Ran away? What a short-sighted person." Elder Su was also startled. He immediately shook his head and laughed faintly.
"In the future, the four of you will belong to the Inner Academy. Let me remind you that unless you are extremely powerful, it will not be easy for you to muddle along in the Inner Academy by yourself. This is because of the environment. Therefore, those older students in the Inner Academy will also divide their own factions and territories. It is likely that you will encounter these things soon.”Elder Su muttered.
"The Inner Academy actually has these things? Aren't you all forbidden?" Hu Jia frowned slightly and asked.
"Hehe, why should we ban it? This kind of competitive strength is what our Inner Academy needs. If we do not want to be bullied by others, we can only work hard to raise our own strength. Otherwise, there is no need to talk about the strong being respected in everything. It will forever be the main theme of this world. We do not wish for the Inner Academy to become a carefree ivory tower because such an environment will not produce a truly strong person.”Elder Su spoke in a faint voice.
Hu Jia could only curl her mouth when she heard Elder Su's explanation. Xun Er and Wu Hao nodded in agreement. They had all experienced true training. They clearly understood what kind of environment would give birth to a true expert.
"Therefore, the reason why I let you all live together is to allow you all to form a team. During the Hunting Competition, I believe you all understand how strong a team can be, right?”Elder Su smiled and said,"From today onwards, I hope that the four of you will become a group that will face all difficulties together and will not leave or abandon each other. If all of you are able to do this, your life within this Inner Academy will be much easier. No matter what, the strength of one person cannot compare to a group, right?"”
"I don't care. I have no objections to Mystic Moon's strength.”Wu Hao hesitated for a moment before nodding slightly and speaking in a faint voice.
Xun Er softly laughed. She naturally would not have much of an objection to being together with Shen Yue.
"Sigh, alright. Although I don't want to admit it, I do feel a little safer when I'm with this guy.”Hu Jia spread her hands and helplessly nodded as she said.
"You guys are really relying on me."
The voice involuntarily laughed bitterly when he saw the actions of the three of them. Although he had such an expression on his face, there was a strange feeling in his heart. During the past three years of training, he had always been alone. Perhaps it was because of his character that he was used to facing difficulties alone. However, the current Wu Hao trio had handed the command of the group to him. It was undoubtedly a form of trust and recognition. This kind of feeling was something that Shen Yue had never experienced when he was alone in the past.
"Haha, it's naturally best if you can do this.”Seeing the four of them combine into a team without any gaps, Elder Su nodded his head in satisfaction. He waved his hand and said,"Alright, it's getting late. All of you should clean up your rooms and rest for the night. Starting from tomorrow, all of you can casually take a look around the Inner Academy. It is likely that this place will not disappoint all of you.”
" There aren't any cultivation courses?" Hu Jia hurriedly asked when she heard this.
"The Inner Academy does not need that kind of thing. As long as you have sufficient 'Fire Energy,' you will be able to enter the 'Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower'. Training there is more useful than any other classes. Oh, that's right. I have almost forgotten that the Academy will organize a group of students to enter the' Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower 'once a week. If we were to talk about classes, this should be considered."
Elder Su laughed softly,"Additionally, the Inner Academy has the 'Dou Technique Hall,''Qi Method Pavilion', and other places. If you wish to obtain a Qi Method or Dou Technique, you can go there to take a look. Of course, this is also under the premise that you possess sufficient' Fire Energy 'to exchange for it. Compared to the Outer Academy, the Inner Academy is actually more free."
"If you feel that your 'Fire Energy' is not enough and your hands are itchy, you can go to the Arena to earn 'Fire Energy'. Of course, the prerequisite is that you must possess sufficient strength. Otherwise, you can only lose everything.”
Mystic Moon and the others nodded slightly, indicating that they understood.
"If there are no problems, you can rest. If there is anything, you can come and find me.”Elder Su waved his hand at the four of them. He turned around and walked out of the door. Finally, he disappeared from the sight of Xiao Yan's group.
Shen Yue clapped her hands as she watched Elder Su leave. She smiled at Xun Er and the other two,"Clean up the room. In the future, this place might become our long-term base.”
"Yes." Xun Er's group smiled and nodded. They immediately scattered and searched for their own rooms.
At night, the silver moon hung high in the sky. Faint moonlight sprinkled down from the sky, enveloping the entire huge basin in the moonlight.
In a quiet room, Shen Yue sat cross-legged on a bed. Her hands formed a cultivation seal. As she breathed, strands of energy that could be seen with the naked eye drifted out of the space. Finally, they followed her breathing and entered her body continuously.
Beside Shen Yue, an old human figure was hovering in the air. His illusionary body floated in a strange rhythm. As his body floated, the surrounding space also began to fluctuate. Wave after wave of energy that was more than ten times thicker than Shen Yue's surged out and immediately poured into the illusionary human figure's body. The strangest thing was that this illusionary body did not show any signs of materializing even after swallowing such a huge amount of energy. It was like throwing a few pieces of gravel into a bottomless pit, without causing any ripples.
After cultivating for about an hour or so, the drifting energy gradually slowed down. Shen Yue's eyelashes trembled slightly, and a moment later, she opened her eyes and let out a breath of turbid air.
"I've finally recovered. The consumption of forcefully activating the third awakening is too great! However, after nearly a week of fighting in the forest, the benefits were not small.”Shen Yue muttered softly. At this moment, his originally pale face had once again regained its ruddy color. His eyes appeared to be wrapped in a layer of faint warm jade in the darkness, appearing rather strange.
Not long after Shen Yue's training ended, the illusory figure also ended a night of training. A pair of kind and amiable eyes quietly looked at the former. Seeing this, the latter pulled down the black mask that covered his face, revealing his handsome face.
"Teacher? How was it? Did you find Imperial Wind Ling Xiang?" Seeing Tian Xiao open his eyes, Shen Yue's spirit immediately roused as she hurriedly asked in a low voice.
"I don't think so."
Tian Xiao laughed, his gaze sweeping around him. Looking at Shen Yue's puzzled expression, he laughed softly,"However, it is not that I have gained nothing. After you entered the Inner Academy, I also faintly sensed a strange aura. However, this Inner Academy is the core area of the Jia Nan Academy. There are many experts. Therefore, I do not dare to investigate it too carefully.”
"Strange aura?" Slightly startled, Shen Yue said in surprise,"Is it related to her?"
"It should be true. In this Inner Academy, other than you, she is the only one who possesses an aura unique to your clan members.”Yao Lao mused for a moment. He nodded and said,"According to my probing, the place where that strange aura is being emitted seems to be in the north of the Inner Academy. If you have time tomorrow, you can go over there and take a look. You might be able to find some clues.”
Hearing this, Shen Yue hurriedly nodded. As long as there were clues, it was good. What he was most afraid of was that after spending so much effort to enter the inner court, he would not be able to obtain any information related to the former.
"In this Inner Academy, there are many things that you have to rely on yourself. If I were to intervene, it is likely that I will be discovered by others." Yao Lao sighed.
"En, hehe, didn't teacher say that I relied too much on you in the past? The current environment isn't bad for me.”Shen Yue smiled.
It is naturally good that you are able to think in this manner within the Inner Academy. You do not need to worry about the mysterious 'Hall of Souls'. Therefore, you can raise your strength in peace in this place.”Yao Lao nodded his head in gratification and said.
Shen Yue's heart sank a little when she mentioned the mysterious 'Hall of Souls'. This strange faction was something that even an expert like Tian Xiao was extremely afraid of. It was really difficult to imagine just how frightening its strength was. When he had attacked Tian Xiao, he had also been by his side. If it was not for his teacher risking his life to save him from those ten peak Dou Shengs, Shen Yue would not have appeared even if his Spiritual Strength was greatly reduced.
"Yes, don't worry, teacher."
Seeing Shen Yue nod, Tian Xiao's figure flashed, once again turning into a shadow and hiding within Shen Yue's body.
"Looks like I have to find her quickly. Otherwise, Teacher's only body that can accommodate his soul will be gone. The 'Hall of Souls' was a venomous snake that hid in the dark, making it impossible to guard against.”Shen Yue's finger slowly tapped the back of his hand as he watched Tian Xiao disappear. A long while later, he let out a long breath and muttered in his heart.
