"You …" Chen Sixuan looked at Ji Dong's receding figure and could not help but stomp her feet angrily.
It would be a miracle if Ji Dong was willing to stay. God knows what this Touki Saint would do when he was taking a bath. He really did not understand why Chen Sixuan was so infatuated with him. Even if Chen Longao had told her that he was strong, it was not to the extent that a princess like her would be unable to get close to him. One must know that her appearance and figure were as perfect as those in the Flaming Bar. However, even he did not notice that his mentality was subtly changing as Chen Sixuan got closer to him. At least, he was no longer in so much pain.
Two hours wasn't a long time. Most of the students had cleaned themselves up, changed into the clean clothes they had brought with them, and ate some food. They all felt refreshed. Some of the smarter ones even took a nap after finishing their tasks. After all, they had to travel until nightfall.
When Chen Sixuan and Ji Dong left together, not many people saw them, because they all rushed to take a bath, and she came back alone. No one would ignore her perfection, but because of her incomprehensible confession, whether it was the male or female students, their expressions became a bit strange when they looked at her.
However, when Ji Dong came back, the teachers and students' gazes became even more strange. They looked at Chen Sixuan and Ji Dong as if they were looking at monsters.
When Chen Sixuan finished her bath, she changed into a long white dress with a sun embroidered with silver threads. When Ji Dong came back, he was wearing a white warrior suit, but it was obvious that the white warrior suit was the same as Chen Sixuan's dress. The sun embroidered on the chest and back was larger, looking luxurious and elegant.
As the saying goes, people need clothes. Although Ji Dong wasn't handsome, his temperament was superb. Even though his eyes were empty, the invisible pressure he gave off was still very strong. After washing his body, his white hair casually draped behind his head and changed into this elegant and luxurious white robe, it immediately made people's eyes light up. Especially his white hair, it even complemented the clothes and made them shine.
Originally, everyone thought that he and Chen Sixuan were like a flower stuck in cow dung, but now, the feeling had completely changed. Although there was still a huge difference in appearance, in terms of temperament, Teacher Ji Dong was not inferior at all. When Chen Sixuan came in front of him with big shining eyes, the green hair and white dress matched with the white hair and white clothes, it was simply a standard couple's attire. The sun shone on their chests and back, shining brightly.
Chen Sixuan's previous gloominess had been swept away. She blinked her large eyes at Ji Dong and covered her mouth with her hand as she snickered. She suddenly realized that the process of chasing after Ji Dong was quite interesting.
Ji Dong only glanced at her indifferently, but his expression was a bit strange. It was not because of his clothes, but because he had finished drinking.
Although his divine art of fusion was good, he could not fuse too many things into his body. The Sword of the Fire God and the Holy King of Fire Armor were two large items, and his mana was almost unable to support them. If he fused more, it would definitely increase the consumption. Thus, he did not bring much wine when he left. His Vermillion Bird Bracelet was still with Ah Jin. At the time, the Flaming Bar was afraid that the gods would come looking for trouble and kill Fire 'er, so he gave the Vermillion Bird Bracelet to Ah Jin and asked her to keep it safe for Ji Dong.
Ji Dong had originally planned to buy some wine on the way, but Chen Sixuan had already provided it for him, so he didn't think about it. However, he had just said that he wouldn't drink other people's wine, so he couldn't ask for it again, right?
Chen Sixuan was suddenly enlightened. She flipped her wrist and a bottle of wine appeared. She handed it to Ji Dong.
"I don't want it." Ji Dong snorted.
Chen Sixuan lowered her voice and giggled. "I've already put on my clothes, so what's a bottle of wine? You owe me anyway, so it's fine. I'm not in a hurry to make you pay me back. You just have to protect me.
Ji Dong hesitated for a moment, but he actually subconsciously took the bottle. Even he did not realize that under the influence of his soul, his resistance towards Chen Sixuan was beginning to decrease.
The others naturally did not know what they were doing. From afar, Chen Sixuan looked intimate and smiled as she spoke to Ji Dong. It was clear that the relationship between the two was not ordinary. The male students looked at Ji Dong as if their eyes were about to spit fire.
Xuanyuan Xin glanced over coldly, then looked up at the sky and gave the order to set off.
It was unknown whether it was because of his resentment towards Ji Dong and Chen Sixuan, or whether he had planned to do this in the first place. Just as Xuanyuan Xin had said, he did not let the students rest even once before they reached Mount Ahmans.
For a whole eight hours, although they did not run all the time, it still caused the students to complain. They could not even be bothered to be jealous of Ji Dong.
Ji Dong naturally did not care about this distance. He continued to walk slowly like before, with Chen Sixuan following closely beside him. No matter how harsh Ji Dong's words were, she did not care. Whenever Ji Dong finished the bottle of wine in his hand, she would immediately hand over another bottle. She was very familiar with Ji Dong's abilities. For others, alcohol was harmful to the body, but for Ji Dong, this problem did not exist at all.
From afternoon to evening, and then from evening to late at night, when all the students and teachers were extremely tired, they finally arrived at the destination of their trip.
In the distance, they could see a towering mountain. It was not a mountain range, but a single mountain. However, this mountain occupied an extremely vast area. The mountain was conical, and the foot of the mountain was extremely wide. It was impossible to tell the height of the mountain with one's eyes. Halfway up the mountain was already shrouded in clouds, making it impossible to see the peak. A conservative estimate would be that this mountain was over three thousand meters tall.
Xuanyuan Xin found a flat area about five kilometers away from the foot of the mountain and gave the order to rest. He had chosen this place very carefully. The terrain was slightly higher than the surroundings, flat, and there were no obstructions, ensuring a good line of sight. After all, they were already close to Mt. Ahmansi, and encountering attacks from magical beasts was nothing new. With a good line of sight, they would naturally be able to observe the surrounding situation in detail.
"Rest where you are." The moment these four words were said, almost all the new students collapsed to the ground, moaning one after another. Although the teachers were still standing, the head-teachers of the classes ranked at the bottom were also very tired.
Xuanyuan Xin deliberately glanced at Ji Dong. He realized that Ji Dong did not seem to have changed at all. He was the same as when they had first set off. In his words, he was a half-dead drunkard. However, he looked more pleasing to the eye after changing into clean clothes. At least, he did not look as dispirited.
Chen Sixuan could be said to be the only exception among the students. She was still in high spirits, and her gaze had never left Ji Dong's body. It was as if she was satisfied as long as Ji Dong was around.
Xuanyuan Xin said in a low voice, "From now on, rest and adjust yourselves. We will rest until noon tomorrow. After lunch, we will enter Mt. Ahmansi. Now, all of you better stay alert. I will briefly explain the situation of Mt. Ahmansi. Eat something and then go to sleep. If anyone doesn't hear what I am going to say next, don't blame me for not warning you if you are killed by magical beasts in the mountain."
Since it was a matter of life and death, the students forced themselves to muster up their spirits, eating and drinking. Staring at Xuanyuan Xin, Chen Sixuan thought, Although this Xuanyuan laoshi is a little arrogant, his arrangements are very good. After rushing for eight hours, he gave them a relatively long period of time to rest and reorganize. The location he chose is also not bad. Speaking of which, he is a qualified teacher.
If Xuanyuan Xin were to find out that he was only relatively qualified in Chen Sixuan's heart, who knew if his nose would become crooked from anger. He was a dignified department head with a high status in the academy.
Xuanyuan Xin said, "Mount Ahmansi itself is an active volcano, and there are all sorts of magical beasts living here. It's a rather unique existence amongst the magical beasts that inhabit this place. The magical beasts in the mountain are mainly of the fire, earth, and wood elements, and rarely of the water element. Amongst them, the fire magical beasts are the most powerful.
Within the range of Mt. Ahmansi, the fire element is twice as active as the outside world. Therefore, if you encounter a fire magical beast in the mountain, you must be especially careful. Your target area for this trial is a thousand meters above sea level. All one hundred of you will be divided into five groups and will enter the mountain from different directions. You will be judged based on the number of magical beast cores obtained from hunting magical beasts. Teachers of all classes, please remember that you are not allowed to go more than a thousand meters above sea level. Above a thousand meters is where magical beasts of the fourth rank and above live. It is extremely dangerous for students, so all actions must be done with the safety of the students as the priority. The trial will initially be set at ten days. Ten days later, gather here again. If there are any special circumstances, the teacher in charge will use a signal stick to contact you and the other groups will provide support. Do you all understand? "
"Understood." The students replied weakly.
Xuanyuan Xin said, "Students can rest now. Teachers of all classes, gather at my place. We will have a meeting."
All the teachers gathered around, and Xuanyuan Xin said, "I'll emphasize again, safety is the number one priority. If there's a major safety issue, the academy will hold the teachers responsible, especially those who aren't very responsible. I have to remind you that if something happens to a student, I won't let you off." Although he didn't point out who it was, his gaze was fixed on Ji Dong the entire time.
Ji Dong acted as if he didn't see the look in his eyes and continued to drink silently.
Xuanyuan Xin was actually not worried about Ji Dong's group. After all, there was still his wife — Tang Yilian, a six crown Yimu Heavenly Scholar, and Her Royal Highness Princess Xuan, who was also a six crown Yimu Heavenly Scholar. It was very rare to encounter magical beasts of the fourth rank below a thousand meters in Mt. Ahmansi, so it was very difficult to have a safety problem. The main purpose of this trial was to increase the students' combat experience.
Xuanyuan Xin snorted and continued, "This is already within the range of Mt. Ahmansi, it is very likely that we will encounter magical beasts. Tonight, we teachers will keep watch. Every two teachers will form a group, and we will change every two hours. Teacher Tang Yilian, Teacher Ji Dong, you two guard the first group … "
The students quickly fell asleep. Ji Dong stood outside the temporary camp, still silently drinking his wine. There were two people beside him. One of them was naturally Tang Yilian, and the other was naturally Chen Sixuan.
With Chen Sixuan's strength, she was naturally not in a hurry to rest. She wanted to keep watch with Ji Dong.
Ji Dong did not stop her. He just stood there silently without saying a word.
Tang Yilian pulled Chen Sixuan aside and asked in a low voice, "Your Royal Highness, did you know Teacher Ji Dong before?"
Chen Sixuan was puzzled, "Teacher Tang, why do you ask?"
Tang Yilian smiled bitterly, "Because I really can't think of anything about Teacher Ji Dong that could attract Your Royal Highness's interest. Moreover, it is …"
"I'm the one who took the initiative, right?" Chen Sixuan said indifferently, "Teacher Tang, when you look at a person, you can't just look at his appearance. You should look more at his inner self. I didn't know Teacher Ji Dong before, but when I saw his portrait for the first time, I felt that he was not an ordinary person. Don't you think that Teacher Ji Dong should not have been like this? Something must have happened to him that caused him to become like this. Moreover, don't forget that he is the form teacher appointed by Principal Zhu. If he did not have a certain level of ability, how could he become like this? "
Tang Yilian smiled slightly, "I really can't understand the thoughts of you youngsters. However, Teacher Ji Dong's strength seems to be very good. The power of that kick during the day also gave me a fright. I just don't know to what extent has his strength reached."
Chen Sixuan said mysteriously, "Perhaps, we can only find out this secret when we meet a strong enemy."
Tang Yilian shook her head helplessly, "It's better not to meet any danger. After all, we have to take care of so many students."
Chen Sixuan looked towards the peak of Almans Mountain and murmured, "This is hard to say!" Her memory of this place was very clear. This wasn't as simple as a Magical Beast's habitat. At the same time, this place was the same as the Frost Mountain Range that Ji Dong had been to before. It was another entrance to the core world.
Ji Dong stood there with a faint glow in his eyes. His soul force had already spread out and quietly spread out. He basically didn't need to look at anything when he was on night watch here. He could sense any changes just by using his spiritual force to investigate. Just at this moment, his calm and empty eyes suddenly moved slightly. His awe-inspiring gaze looked towards a direction in the darkness.
