"Squeak squeak ~"
But the little gold mouse was slightly unhappy, and she said to Duan Lingtian via voice transmission. "Big Brother Ling Tian, you can't go out … Then wouldn't I have no meat to eat?"
"You little fellow, you only know how to eat … Don't worry, I'll go out once a month, and at that time, I'll let you eat to your heart's content!"
Duan Lingtian replied angrily via voice transmission.
The middle aged man only turned around to glance at the little gold mouse in surprise when he heard the little gold mouse's cry, and then he turned around and continued walking forward.
Whereas Ji Feng and Sima Yang looked at the little gold mouse with gazes that contained slight fear mixed within.
Although the little gold mouse hadn't revealed her strength before them, but just the aftershock of her cry caused their slave beast to become restless and uneasy …
They could imagine that this was absolutely not an ordinary pet mouse.
It was very likely a demon beast!
All along the way, Duan Lingtian noticed that there were practically no buildings within the Dragon and Phoenix Academy, and it was completely empty.
In next to no time, under the lead of the middle aged man, Duan Lingtian's group of three arrived at a place that was filled with potholes. This place was filled with puddles of water, and there were even many places with trash that emitted a pungent stench that was unbearable.
"So smelly."
Sima Yang couldn't help but stretch out his hand to pinch his nose, and his expression was slightly unsightly.
Originally, as far as he was concerned.
The Dragon and Phoenix Academy was an academy established by the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom's Imperial Family after all. Even if it was established hastily, the environment within ought to not be too bad.
But the facts proved that his way of thinking was wrong, extremely wrong.
"Hmm?"
Duan Lingtian's gaze was sharp, and he noticed with a glance that there were many tattered tents scattered all over this place that were filled with potholes.
These tents were covered in desolation and were extremely tattered.
If it was raining, they would utterly be unable to shelter from the wind and rain.
Moreover, there were many people standing outside these tents and looking at them.
These people were mostly young men, and there were also a small number of young women.
They had something in common.
Just by looking at their appearances, they were all below the age of 35.
"This place wouldn't be where the students of the Dragon and Phoenix Academy stay, right?"
A bad premonition arose in Duan Ling Tian's heart.
At this time, Ji Feng and Sima Yang also reacted, and their expressions changed.
They were all young masters who grew up with golden spoons in their mouths. When had they ever lived in such an environment? Letting them live in such a broken place was simply torture for them.
"From now on, this will be your living quarters … You can pick any tent you like."
The middle-aged man turned around and glanced indifferently at Duan Lingtian and the other two. Then, he turned around and left.
Only Duan Lingtian and the other two were left looking at each other.
"You want to live in this lousy place for a year?"
The corner of Sima Yang's mouth twitched as his brows furrowed. His expression was extremely ugly.
Ji Feng's expression didn't look good either.
Only Duan Lingtian remained calm.
To him, the environment here was not too bad.
As a special forces soldier and a mercenary in his previous life, he often faced all kinds of harsh environments. Among them, there were many places that were a hundred or a thousand times worse than this place.
Therefore, even if the environment here was very bad, he did not complain.
Only through suffering can one rise to the top!
"Newcomers?"
Right at this moment, a slightly hoarse voice sounded out from afar.
Duan Lingtian and the other two looked towards the source of the voice.
With a glance, they saw a building that was similar to a sentry tower standing in the distance in this bumpy area, and there was an exquisite little house on top of it.
Compared to this towering exquisite house, the tattered tent on this bumpy area was simply like a beggar's residence.
For a moment, Ji Feng and Sima Yang's eyes went red as they stared fixedly at the towering exquisite house.
Although this house was far inferior to the house they lived in at home, compared to the tattered tent, it was simply like heaven.
Only Duan Lingtian's gaze descended onto the figure in front of the exquisite house.
This was an old man. The old man wore grey clothes, his face was stiff, and a trace of fierceness was emitted from between his brows …
"I'm the Vice Dean of the Dragon and Phoenix Academy, Chi Ming. You can call me Vice Dean Chi."
The grey clothed old man spoke indifferently.
"Vice Dean Chi!"
When they heard that the old man was actually the Vice Dean of the Dragon and Phoenix Academy, Duan Lingtian and the other two were shocked and hurriedly bowed.
Ji Feng and Sima Yang bowed.
As for Duan Lingtian, he only nodded.
This scene caused the old man to take a few more glances at Duan Lingtian.
"Since you've entered the Dragon and Phoenix Academy, you must abide by the academy's rules!"
The old man indifferently swept Duan Lingtian and the other two with his gaze, then slowly said, "I presume that when all of you arrived, someone already told all of you of the rules that all of you must abide by in the Dragon and Phoenix Academy for this year … Now, I'll tell all of you of the other two rules!"
As he spoke up to here, the old man's originally muddy eyes abruptly became fierce, and he said in a low voice, "Firstly, in our Dragon and Phoenix Academy, different people enjoy different treatment! These tents around you are the residences that the academy has allocated to all of you, and all of you are not allowed to arbitrarily change them. Otherwise, the academy will expel all of you one by one! "
Not allowed to arbitrarily change them?
Duan Lingtian's brows raised, as he was able to understand the meaning behind the old man's words.
If there wasn't this rule, after the students of the Dragon and Phoenix Academy stayed here, they would surely impatiently want to leave the academy and go out to purchase various things that could improve their living conditions …
After all, all the people that were able to be recommended to the Dragon and Phoenix Academy were young geniuses from all over the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom.
All of these people were proud geniuses of the heavens in their respective powers, and when had they suffered such hardships?
Yet now, this rule was set, and it dispelled the thoughts of everyone that wanted to change their living conditions.
The old man's words sounded out, and Ji Feng and Sima Yang glanced at each other with bitter smiles on their faces.
A similar thought had arisen in their minds earlier, but who knew that it would be directly rejected by the rules of the Dragon and Phoenix Academy.
"What lousy rule!"
The two of them couldn't help but curse in their hearts.
"Vice Dean Chi, I wonder what you mean by 'different people enjoy different treatment'?"
Duan Lingtian asked.
"This, you'll know in a moment …"
The old man didn't explain and continued. "Second, the students of the Dragon and Phoenix Academy can fight, but they can't harm the lives of others or even cause them to be crippled! Otherwise, they will be expelled from the academy as well. "
Duan Lingtian wasn't surprised by this.
The Dragon and Phoenix Academy had the responsibility to protect the safety of any young genius that was recommended to enter the academy.
"Now, all of you go find an empty tent to stay in."
After the old man finished speaking, he didn't pay any further attention to Duan Lingtian's group of three.
Duan Lingtian shook his head and took the lead to leave to look for an empty tent.
Presently, the pile of tents that remained were even more tattered than the other tents …
The good ones had already been taken away.
"I really don't know what the Imperial Family is thinking … Making such a lousy place for us to stay in! If I lack money, I'm completely capable of using my own money to build an independent courtyard. "
Sima Yang's tone was filled with complaint.
"I presume there's some other purpose behind all this."
Ji Feng frowned and guessed.
"What other purpose could there be?"
Sima Yang grunted.
In a short while, Duan Lingtian's group of three found their own tents. The three tents weren't far from each other.
The tents were extremely small, and when one opened the tent, one could see that there were many cockroaches and cockroach feces inside. Just looking at it caused one to feel disgusted and unable to accept it.
"F * * k! What kind of lousy place is this … Can people even stay here? "
Sima Yang, who had just stretched out his hand to open the tent, went pale and closed the tent once more.
At this moment, many more people came over and chose their own tents one by one. The expressions of these people were unsightly, and many of them couldn't help but grumble.
"It's time to eat!"
A resounding voice suddenly sounded out.
He saw a few middle-aged men carrying a few large plates over in large strides. On the plates were some rice that was so thin that the rice couldn't be seen, and there was also a moldy steamed bun …
"A bowl of rice soup and a steamed bun?"
Duan Lingtian received his food with an astounded expression.
If he couldn't even eat his fill, how would he cultivate?
"I'll endure living in this lousy place … Are these things for people to eat?"
Sima Yang, who had an unsightly expression, finally exploded. He raised his hand and threw the rice and steamed bun that were so thin that the rice couldn't be seen on the ground.
Ji Feng frowned as well. Since he was young, when had he ever eaten such food?
Although Duan Lingtian felt that it was slightly inconceivable, he didn't feel that it was anything. Perhaps the Dragon and Phoenix Academy was tempering them.
Just when Duan Lingtian was about to eat the steamed bun and drink the rice soup.
Another few middle-aged men appeared before Duan Lingtian and the others. These middle-aged men had also come to deliver food.
However, the plates in their hands were filled with fragrant rice, and there were also various fine wine and delicacies that caused one to drool …
"Hmph! Eating these is more like it. "
After Sima Yang and Ji Feng saw these dishes, their expressions eased up.
However, they were quickly dumbstruck again.
They saw these middle-aged men carrying these sumptuous dishes directly walk past their area and head inside.
There was a large door that led to another area.
"These dishes aren't for us to eat?"
Sima Yang's face went grim, and his figure flashed out to stop a middle-aged man that was carrying fine wine and delicacies, then he said in a deep voice, "What's the meaning of this? You're giving us rice soup and moldy steamed buns, yet others have fine wine and delicacies? "
"Hmph!"
The middle-aged man glanced indifferently at Sima Yang. "If you have the ability, you can replace them as well! So long as you enter the Inner Hall, you'll naturally be able to enjoy the same treatment. "
After he finished speaking, the middle-aged man paid no further attention to Sima Yang and passed through the large door ahead to enter another area.
Inner Hall?
The middle-aged man's words caused the group of young geniuses that had just entered the Dragon and Phoenix Academy, including Duan Lingtian, Sima Yang, and Ji Feng, to have bewildered expressions.
Before long, Duan Lingtian and the others couldn't help but follow.
