After walking out of the pavilion, there was a green path, and on both sides of the path were the residences of the other freshmen. Of course, compared to the small pavilions of Shen Yue's group of four, theirs was slightly more simple and crude. From the looks of it, not everyone had this kind of treatment.
At this moment, there wasn't a single shadow of a freshman on the road. They should have all gathered at the exit. Shen Yue and the other three didn't dare to be negligent. Their toes lightly tapped the ground, and their bodies turned into wisps of smoke as they rapidly rushed towards the end of the road.
About four to five minutes later, the four of them slowed down, raising their heads to look at the end of the road. Indeed, they saw a large group of people crowded here, the sounds of cursing constantly ringing in their ears.
Waving his hand slightly, Shen Yue brought the three of them closer to the crowd. Some of the new students who were gathered around saw Shen Yue's group of four and couldn't help but be overjoyed. Just as they were about to cheer, they were interrupted by Shen Yue's hand gesture and hurriedly shut up.
After greeting the new students, Shen Yue and the others squeezed into the crowd, their gazes peering through the gaps in the crowd towards the exit.
At this moment, the exit of the main road was blocked by seven or eight senior students who wore tower-shaped badges on their chests. Behind them, there was a large group of senior students who were watching the show. Clearly, they were very happy to see the freshmen suffer because many of them had passed this stage in the past.
In front of the eight seniors was Atai, who had come to ask for help from Mystic Moon. At this moment, he was leading the new students, his face ashen as he faced the seniors.
"There is no need to speak any more nonsense. Brat, the tribute fee for the new students has been the rule of the Inner Academy for so many years. We have not been harsh to you. Therefore, it is best for you to obediently hand it over. Don't tell me you don't understand that you will lose your wealth to avoid disaster?”A young man around the age of 25 smiled as he looked at Atai and the others, who had ashen faces, and said,"Two days of 'Fire Energy' for each of you to ensure the safety of the Inner Academy. This transaction is very worthwhile.”
"Humph, don't think that we don't know the rules just because we are new students. New students should indeed pay 'tribute fees' to older students. However, there is also an unwritten rule in the Inner Academy. New students can at most only pay to two factions. After paying to these two factions, if other factions still want to collect it, they will have to look for those two factions and speak to them. It has nothing to do with us anymore.”Atai snorted coldly and said angrily,"But today, from beginning to end, there have been no less than five waves of factions that have come here. What f * cking 'Fire Energy' do we have for you?”
"Hehe, that's a normal situation. But aren't your batch of new students very strong? After so many years, there has never been a new student group that snatched the 'Fire Energy' from the older student groups in the 'Fire Energy Hunting Competition'. Since you are acting in such a unique manner, the rules that we will treat you with will naturally be a little special.”The young man grinned.
"Moreover, the current you are not as poor as ordinary new students. The 'Fire Energy' on your bodies might be much richer than some of the older students.”
"Bullsh * t. We said before that we would not give you another 'Fire Energy'. Regardless of whether we still have' Fire Energy 'or not, don't even think about it!”Atai's face was ashen as he cursed. Behind him, the faces of the many new students were also filled with fury. The repeated exploitation of this senior student had thoroughly angered them.
"Heh, good, very good. They are indeed a group of tough bones.”Hearing this, the senior couldn't help but sneer and said in a sinister voice,""Brats, don't forget that this is not the Outer Academy. Other than the Fighting Arena, although one cannot take one's life in the other places of the Inner Academy, there should still be some physical pain during 'sparring,' right?”
"If you really don't pay today, then I can't be sure if you'll be treated unfairly after leaving this place. Young man, don't act on impulse.”
"You!" Seeing the young man with a sinister smile, the hearts of all the new students once again lit up, and their eyes were about to spit fire.
"There's no need to be sure. The new students will no longer pay you half a day's worth of 'Fire Energy'. Senior, please return to where you came from.”A faint cold voice suddenly sounded from the group of new students.
"Who is it?"
The expression of the young man swiftly became gloomy. His eyes swept over the new students in a dark and cold manner. His fist twisted slightly as he coldly said,"This year's new students are indeed as others have said, arrogant to the point of no boundaries. It seems that as seniors, we have the obligation to let you all understand the atmosphere of the Inner Academy.”
"Hehe, that's good. Then I'll see how Senior can make me understand.”Laughter sounded once again. Immediately, a path was formed in the new crowd. Four human figures slowly walked out from the crowd.
"It's senior Mystic Moon!"
Seeing the appearance of the four of them, the surrounding new students immediately cheered. After the success of the 'Fire Energy Hunting Competition', Shen Yue's reputation in the hearts of the new students was already quite high.
"Senior Mystic Moon? He was the Imperial Wind Shen Yue who defeated Luo Hou?”Some of the older students, who had gathered outside the main road to watch the commotion, involuntarily cried out in surprise when they heard the surrounding cheers. Their gazes carried some surprise as they stared at the black-robed young man.
"You are Yu Feng?"
The expressions of the few older students who were blocking the exit of the road changed a little when they saw the new students whose emotions had suddenly soared. Clearly, they were still quite afraid of Shen Yue's name. After all, even if Luo Hou was placed within the entire Inner Academy, he could be considered an expert ranked in the top hundred. There was even a time when Luo Hou had squeezed into the 'Strong Ranking'. Although there was a little luck involved, and he had only stayed on the' Strong Ranking 'for three days, he was able to enter the' Strong Ranking'. This naturally represented his extraordinary strength. Even this strong person had been defeated by Shen Yue. Hence, some of the older students in the Inner Academy were still somewhat afraid of Shen Yue.
Shen Yue calmly glanced at the young man whose expression kept changing. She crossed her arms and smiled,"I am Imperial Wind Shen Yue, that audacious and arrogant brat. May I know what advice this senior has for me?”
"Are you planning to stand out? Although you have defeated Luo Hou, you should also know that there are many people in the Inner Academy who are stronger than Luo Hou!”That young man was unwilling to lose face and withdraw in front of so many people. He could only stiffen his neck and coldly snort.
"Us new students don't have any intentions of being arrogant. In the 'Hunting Competition', it's only because some of the older students' actions were too excessive. We understand in our hearts that it's the best way for new students to blend in when we're new here. Thus, we're no exception. We will pay the 'tribute fee' that should be paid according to the rules. However, as for the other harsh rules, I, Imperial Wind Shen Yue, will say it clearly here. We will definitely not pay any attention to them. If we want to use force, then the 46 new students present will be able to do so. I can only do my best to accompany you." Shen Yue's eyes were cold as he looked around.
"Boom!"
After Shen Yue's voice sounded, excitement immediately surged onto the faces of the dozens of new students behind her. Their feet violently stomped on the ground and Dou Qi surged out. In an instant, dozens of Dou Qi auras gathered together. The pressure that was formed caused the few older students to hurriedly take a couple of steps back.
"You Imperial Wind Shen Yue, don't think that you can be arrogant just because you have more people. We are from the 'Green Mountain' Inner Academy. If you offend us, you will be forced back by the aura of a group of new students. That young man's face could not help but become a little ugly. He immediately warned in a furious voice. However, before his warning could be heard, the sound of rushing wind suddenly attacked. Immediately, a black figure flashed in front of him and his shoulder suddenly sank. The former was shocked to discover that a tachi that flickered with a cold glint was already placed at his neck.
Shen Yue held Silvermoon in his left hand, his black golden eyes staring intently at the young man who was so frightened by Silvermoon that bean-sized water droplets kept dripping from his forehead as he coldly said,"I'll say it again. What we should pay, we new students have already paid. What we shouldn't pay, from now on, we won't pay even half a 'Fire Energy' anymore. I don't care which faction you belong to, but if you continue to speak nonsense here, then don't blame me for being ruthless."
Looking at the coldness in Shen Yue's eyes, the senior's throat moved slightly, and a drop of cold sweat dripped down from his forehead. He could feel that in the words of this youth who was much younger than him, there was a hint of cold killing intent.
"Tsk!"
The tachi moved slightly, bringing with it the sound of rushing wind as it was withdrawn back into the scabbard on Shen Yue's back. Shen Yue slowly retreated, and finally retreated in front of Xun Er and the other two.
"Just you wait!"
As he watched Shen Yue retreat, the older student's face alternated between white and green. A long while later, he angrily waved his sleeves, turned around, and said a few harsh words before leading his people away from this place.
Seeing that Shen Yue had forced the group of older students back, the new students could not help but cheer once again. Their gazes towards Shen Yue were incomparably fiery. Clearly, Shen Yue's actions of standing up for them had completely made these new students acknowledge his status.
"Seniors, our batch of new students does not have any special abilities and does not wish to obtain any special rights. As for the 'Fire Energy Hunting Competition,' it has already been said earlier that it is merely because those older students have gone overboard that we have entered the Inner Academy. As newcomers, we do not have any intention of borrowing power to be arrogant. All of you can be considered seniors. We new students will not owe even half of the things that should be paid. Hence, there is no need for all of you to treat us new students differently. I thank you." Shen Yue raised her head and looked at the older students who were watching from the intersection. She cupped her hands slightly and spoke in a polite voice.
Shen Yue had just displayed his might, yet he was speaking so courteously. Shen Yue's actions caused the older students to look at each other. A moment later, some of the more intelligent older students could not help but nod their heads. This person was indeed a character. He knew his limits when doing things.
Xun Er and the other two nodded slightly behind Shen Yue. Regardless of how strong they were, it was impossible for them to become enemies with the older students of the Inner Academy. If Shen Yue displayed even the slightest bit of pride after establishing his might, this matter might be transmitted to the ears of quite a number of experts within the Inner Academy. At that time, it was inevitable that there would be people who would come to make things difficult for the new students. The ones who had come this time around were merely some older students with slightly weaker strength. The next time around, it might be the truly strong ones.
They were able to defeat Luo Hou. However, Luo Hou's strength was merely ranked in the middle within the Inner Academy. Hence, the current them could not act in a high profile manner. The most important thing was to quickly gain a firm foothold within the Inner Academy and do their best to train and raise their overall strength. This was the only way to last!
