Elder Liu by the side was a little stunned as he watched Han Yue, who had temporarily put aside her obsession with cleanliness and shook hands with Shen Yue. He recovered a moment later and looked at Han Yue with a deep meaning. He immediately smiled and said,"Yu Feng brat, in this Inner Academy, you are one of the few male students who can shake hands with Yue girl.”
"That would be an honor." Shen Yue smiled slightly. Although holding her jade-like hand was very comfortable, he only shook it out of politeness before letting go and smiling.
"Junior Brother Imperial Wind, this year's batch of new students have been in the limelight under your leadership.”Han Yue withdrew her hand and softly said.
"If I had known that there would be such trouble later, I wouldn't have been in the limelight.”Shen Yue sighed and said slowly.
"It seems that some seniors have already gone to find trouble with you, right?”Han Yue could not help but feel a little surprised when she heard this. She immediately nodded in understanding and a faint smile seeped out from the corner of her mouth.
Mystic Moon nodded helplessly. Although it was not visible under the black mask. However, from the former's thoughtful expression, Han Yue could still roughly guess.
"Junior Yu Feng should know a little about the situation in the Inner Academy, right? Then he should know the advantage of having the protection of a faction, right? I wonder if you have any intention of joining a faction?”Han Yue's bright eyes stared intently at Shen Yue as she casually asked.
"Uh…"
Hearing this, Shen Yue could not help but spread out his hands, smiling bitterly,"I'm afraid I won't be able to join, because this year's freshmen are all insisting on me forming a new force called 'Lingshen.' Thus, Mystic Moon can only accept senior Han Yue's good intentions.”
"You formed your own force? And all the members are new students?" Shen Yue's words had just sounded when not only was Han Yue stunned, even Elder Liu by the side cast an extremely shocked gaze at Shen Yue.
"Yes." Seeing their expressions, Shen Yue laughed dryly and nodded.
"Shen Yue junior, this matter of yours might attract a lot of trouble.”Han Yue's eyebrows were tightly knit. A moment later, she spoke in a deep voice. While nervously persuading her, Han Yue couldn't help but address her as Mystic Moon junior.
"Eh? The Inner Academy did not seem to have a rule that a faction gathered by new students could not be established, right?”Shen Yue was startled when she heard this. She involuntarily frowned and asked when she saw Han Yue's grave expression.
"Ugh, there is indeed no such rule. However, the new students that enter the Inner Academy each year basically occupy nearly sixty percent of the fresh blood within the entire Inner Academy. Hence, many factions within the Inner Academy will absorb some new students each year in order to increase their strength. This has been the case over the years and has basically become a convention.”
"And now, you've gathered all the new students in this batch together. This has caused the other factions to be unable to absorb any new blood this year. This action will definitely cause dissatisfaction from many factions. And after secretly offending so many factions, your 'Ling Shen' will probably be ostracized quite a bit. That's why I said that you'll attract a lot of trouble." Han Yue helplessly shook her head, explaining for Shen Yue.
Elder Liu by the side also nodded slightly, indicating that what Han Yue said was true.
Shen Yue's face gradually became much more solemn when he heard Han Yue's explanation. Due to his unfamiliarity with the Inner Academy, he had actually forgotten about this matter. Currently, the Ling Shen had just been formally established. It was unexpected that he had offended more than half of the factions within the Inner Academy. With the current strength of the 'Ling Shen,' it was simply insufficient to deal with so many potential enemies.
"Ah, this is too rash." Shen Yue sighed softly."However, since things have come to this, I have no other choice. I can only deal with them as they come. If there really is a force that wants to destroy 'Ling Shen', then I, Imperial Wind Shen Yue, will not wait for death.”
Han Yue sighed and nodded. She did not expect that Shen Yue would actually be able to establish her own faction so quickly. This caused her to swallow her thoughts of roping Shen Yue in. Although Shen Yue's potential was quite good, he had after all just entered the Inner Academy. His current strength was merely at the Da Dou Shi class. Such actions would undoubtedly create many enemies. However, their current 'Ling Shen' faction was insufficient to deal with so many opponents.
"If you need help in the future, you can look for me. I'll do my best.”Han Yue was silent for a moment before she slowly spoke to Shen Yue.
"Haha, thank you, senior Han Yue.”Hearing this, Shen Yue smiled and nodded. No matter what, to be able to speak in such a manner when their Ling Shen was in such an isolated situation, even though it was unknown if there were any perfunctory excuses in her words, at least on the surface, she was someone that could be befriended.
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. There might not be much I can do, and this is all because of your potential.”Han Yue shook her head and said in a cold voice.
"I understand. If I was just an ordinary Inner Academy new student, it is likely that the two of you would not treat me so courteously.”Shen Yue smiled faintly. He was not a fool. There were some things that he would see to be repaid. If it was not for the talent and potential that he had displayed, it was impossible for Elder Liu, who was an Elder, and Han Yue, who possessed quite a strong faction within the Inner Academy, to view him in a different light. This was the Inner Academy. The law of strength being respected permeated through all matters and people!
Even though Shen Yue's words were straightforward, Han Yue and Elder Liu nodded slightly. They were all people who understood, and speaking in such a secretive manner would only put them at a disadvantage.
"Alright, junior Shen Yue, you should first stroll around the 'Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower' with Elder Liu. I still need to go to the sixth level, so I will not stay any longer. We will talk again in the future if there is an opportunity.”Han Yue bowed slightly to Shen Yue. She immediately turned around and slowly walked towards a corner of the ancient tower.
Shen Yue smiled and nodded. She sent Han Yue off with her eyes. Only after her back disappeared into the end of the gentle light did she withdraw her gaze.
"Hehe, kid, what do you think of Yue girl?”Elder Liu smiled as she looked at Shen Yue.
"Not bad. I believe that senior Han Yue's pursuers are in groups within the Inner Academy.”Shen Yue smiled and said. With Han Yue's appearance and temperament, it was impossible for her to lack suitors.
"There are indeed quite a number of pursuers. However, there are very few who are able to catch her eye. Her attitude towards you seems to be quite a good start. With your talent and the training within the 'Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower', it is likely that you will be able to enter the Dou Ling class within three to four months. At that time, you might even become the most powerful pursuer. If his cultivation was even more outstanding, he might even be taken in by that little girl!”Elder Liu teased.
"Ke ke, senior Han Yue is indeed not bad, but I don't have the mood to do so. As for that little girl, forget it.”Shen Yue smiled and shook her head, looking at Elder Liu's surprised expression, she didn't continue to dwell on this question, smiling as she changed the topic,"Elder Liu has yet to introduce this 'Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower' to the students.”
"Oh, I almost forgot. Hehe, come with me.”Being reminded by Shen Yue, Elder Liu quickly slapped his head and smiled apologetically. He turned around and led the way, Shen Yue following closely behind.
The interior of this 'Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower' that was buried deep underground and only revealed the tip of the tower was so spacious that it had exceeded Shen Yue's expectations. As she walked along the way, Shen Yue discovered that it was likely that just the space within the first level of the tower was sufficient for five hundred people to train at the same time.
In the circular space of the tower, there were cultivation rooms of different sizes. However, most of these cultivation rooms were already occupied by people. Moreover, there were some small red signs hanging above the doors of these rooms. However, the words written on the signs were different. Shen Yue stopped and looked at them. It turned out that these small red signs were written with the words high, middle, and low. Thinking about it, These should be the different levels of the training rooms within the 'Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower' that Atai had spoken of.
As she slowly walked from east to south, Shen Yue discovered that all the high grade cultivation rooms were near the center of the tower. Around them, there were middle grade cultivation rooms and even lower grade cultivation rooms.
"Within the 'Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower', one would usually have to rely on one's own strength to fight for these high, middle, and low level training rooms. Those who were strong would be able to obtain the best training conditions. Those who were weak would only be able to head to the outermost low level training room to train.”Elder Liu pointed at a training room with a high grade sign and smiled faintly.
"Within the same level of the tower, regardless of the grade of the training room, the training fee is the same. For example, in the first level, the low grade training room is a 'Fire Energy' training room for one day. The same is true for the high grade training room."
"Spending the same amount of money, but the results obtained are worlds apart. Wouldn't this result in a situation where the strong become stronger and the weak find it difficult to catch up?”Shen Yue asked curiously.
"A person's potential will not completely erupt unless they are faced with a difficult situation. What we need is this kind of alternative suppression. As long as we suppress it to the extreme, there will always be some students who completely erupt and catch up to the strong people who were difficult to touch in the past at an extremely fast speed. Up until now, this kind of thing basically occurs every year in the Inner Academy." Elder Liu shook his head and laughed.
Nodding his head slightly, Shen Yue's footsteps suddenly stopped. Following his line of sight, he discovered that they had already reached the center of the tower.
"This is?"
Shen Yue looked at the bottomless black hole in front of him in shock. She slowly took two steps forward and came to the edge of the black hole. She carefully looked down. The darkness extended all the way to the end of her line of sight. The strange darkness that was almost devoid of any light made Shen Yue's head feel a little dizzy.
This black hole seemed to have penetrated the entire 'Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower'. If it was not for the fact that it was covered by the tip of the tower, one might be able to clearly see this dark black deep hole from the sky.
If one were to carefully sense within this deep, dark hole, one would be able to sense that the air in this place was much hotter than other places. That feeling was as though there was something at the bottom of the deep hole that was continuously emitting heat that provided the entire 'Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower'.
Stretching out his hand and grabbing the hot air, something in Shen Yue's body suddenly jumped.
Shen Yue's throat moved slightly as she stuck her head forward a little. Her eyes stared intently at the deep darkness. A long while later, the pale-blue flame within her body surged into her eyes. In an instant, her black-gold pupils turned into pale-green pupils.
The endless darkness below began to become extremely faint in a strange manner as the pale fire surged into his eyes.
However, as the darkness grew fainter, Shen Yue's hair stood on end.
The space within the endless darkness suddenly began to become slightly distorted under the gaze of that pair of green eyes. Soon after, these distorted spaces were like invisible pythons that climbed up the cave entrance at an extremely terrifying speed.
"Shen Yue, retreat!"
Just as the distorted space was about to climb up, a cry suddenly sounded beside Shen Yue's ear. Immediately, a shriveled hand grabbed his shoulder and pulled him with force, bringing him far away from this dark black hole.
Not long after Shen Yue was pulled out of the hole, he suddenly felt the temperature around him rapidly rise. After which, he heard an extremely sharp hissing sound spread out from the deep hole. He hurriedly raised his head to take a look, but his face suddenly froze. His lips trembled, and a hoarse voice escaped from the gaps between his teeth with great difficulty.
"What is this?"
