"Thank you for your help," one of them thanked the two of them.
This person was wearing a pink mask and a light cyan outfit. Her voice was gentle and pleasing to the ear. It was obvious that she was a woman, and a young one at that.
The other person was wearing a white mask. He only nodded and did not seem to like to talk.
"You're welcome," Shen Jun said with a smile.
"Both of you have just arrived at Heyuan City, right?" The young lady asked.
"Yes," Shen Jun nodded.
"My surname is Zhang Yue. This is Brother Lu I just met. What about you two?" The young lady said.
"My surname is Shen Jun," Shen Jun replied.
"My surname is Lin Long," Lin Long said.
"Oh, Brother Shen and Brother Lin." The young lady nodded.
Shen Jun suggested, "The ferocious beasts here are very dangerous. There are also ferocious beasts that can release cold energy. Why don't the two of you join forces with us?"
"I don't object to this." The young lady looked at her companion and said, "Lu Zhang, what do you think?"
"I agree," Lu Zhang said concisely.
After making this decision, the three of them continued moving forward. After walking for a while, they encountered four Ice Black Wolves. Now that the four of them had joined forces, how could these four Ice Black Wolves be a match for them? They were quickly killed by them.
Unknowingly, an hour passed.
At this time, Shen Jun took out a map and said, "We will reach the academy in about an hour!"
"That's great." Zhang Yue could not help but be happy.
Although the four of them did not encounter any danger along the way, it was obvious that Zhang Yue wanted to reach the academy as soon as possible.
At this time, four more black wolves appeared in front of them. The four of them immediately rushed over to deal with them.
Such black wolves did not cause them any trouble. However, just as they were about to kill the four black wolves, two mutated Icy Black Leopards suddenly appeared.
Lin Long had seen the mutated Icy Black Leopards before, so he naturally recognized them at a glance.
"It's a mutated Icy Black Leopard, run!" Shen Jun was shocked and hurriedly shouted. At the same time, he turned around and fled.
Lin Long and the other three did the same.
Even if the four of them joined forces, they would not be a match for the two Mutant Frost Black Panthers, so they could only escape.
The four black wolves were already an arrow at the end of its flight. Basically, it did not affect their escape at all. However, there was still an accident. When Zhang Yue tried to escape, she was bitten by the black wolf opposite her.
She stopped right there and then.
This was dangerous because the Ice Black Panthers had already rushed over. She could be surrounded by those two Ice Black Panthers at any time.
At this critical moment, a figure appeared beside Zhang Yue like a ghost and slashed at the Ice-Cold Black Wolf with a sword.
This sword forced the black wolf to retreat in a split second. However, the moment the black wolf loosened its bite, Zhang Yue fell forward due to inertia and accidentally bumped into the person who came to save her.
The person who came to save her was none other than Linlong.
If there was one less person, it would be more troublesome to deal with the beasts. In addition, Linlong had absolute confidence that he could save the other party, so he rushed over.
Seeing Zhang Yue crash over, Linlong did not care so much and directly hugged her to prevent her from falling. After that, he let go of her and the two of them ran away.
After running for a while, they finally left the two Mutant Frost Black Panthers behind. After two exchanges, Linlong realized that the Mutant Frost Black Panthers were obviously not strong enough in terms of physical strength, so they managed to escape twice in a row.
After escaping from the trap, Zhang Yue could not help but say to Linlong, "Brother Lin, thank you so much. If not for you, I would have become food in the stomachs of those two Mutant Frost Black Panthers!"
"You're welcome. I was close to you at that time." Linlong smiled.
"Anyway, thank you very much," Zhang Yue said again.
She knew that in that kind of situation, the only thing an ordinary person would think of was to escape. How could they care about saving others?
Because of this, Zhang Yue obviously had the intention to talk to Linlong.
This seemed normal, but Linlong realized that someone was obviously unhappy. That person was Lu Zhang.
Although Lu Zhang was wearing a mask, Linlong could see the dissatisfaction in his eyes.
It seems that Lu Zhang has feelings for Zhang Yue, Linlong thought.
With his experience, how could he not see this?
However, Lu Zhang did not explode and seemed to be holding it in.
Linlong had no choice. After all, Zhang Yue took the initiative to talk to him, so he could not coldly reject her.
After that, they did not encounter any more trouble and soon arrived at the Mask Academy.
Linlong realized that the Mask Academy looked somewhat similar to the Rune Academy in the Cangyun Continent, be it the architectural style or anything else.
When they arrived, several people who looked like senior brothers came up to them.
"Are the four of you new disciples of our Mask Academy?" One of them asked.
"Yes, senior brother." Linlong and the others nodded.
"Then take out your invitation letter and waist tag," another person said.
Linlong and the others immediately took out their invitation letter and waist tag.
After taking a few serious glances at it, they returned it to him.
The first person said, "I'll bring you to your rooms first. Tomorrow, an instructor will come to bring you … Alright, follow me."
As he spoke, he turned around and walked toward the east side of the Mask Academy. Linlong and the others naturally followed behind him.
Soon, they arrived at a row of houses. The other party arranged for the three men to stay in the house on the east side, while Zhang Yue stayed in the house on the west side.
After the arrangements were made, the other party left.
Lu Zhang took advantage of this time to come to Linlong's side. Linlong could tell that Lu Zhang could not hold it in any longer.
"Brother Lu, what's the matter?" Linlong asked calmly.
Lu Zhang gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Lin, I can tell that Miss Zhang Yue has a good impression of you!"
"Oh, maybe it's because you saved her just now." Linlong smiled.
"If it wasn't for you, I would have also gone to save her," Lu Zhang said.
He was not lying. If Linlong did not go over, he really would have rushed over.
He could only blame Linlong for having a better opportunity, causing him to miss the chance to gain Zhang Yue's favor.
"En, and then?" Linlong asked.
Lu Zhang said, "I won't hide it anymore. I have a good impression of Miss Zhang Yue, so I hope that you can reject her. This way, Miss Zhang Yue will not have any fantasies about you."
"Oh, even so, Miss Zhang Yue might not like you," Linlong said.
"You don't have to worry about that. I believe that Miss Zhang Yue will definitely not reject me. After all, I am a disciple of the Mask Academy. I also have strength and talent!" Lu Zhang said proudly.
"Sorry, I will not reject Miss Zhang Yue," Linlong said bluntly.
Lu Zhang's way of speaking made him unhappy. Moreover, there was nothing between him and Zhang Yue.
"Linlong, what do you mean by this?" Hearing Linlong's words, Lu Zhang's expression changed.
"Nothing. I just want to give you a piece of advice. If you want to get a beauty, you have to work hard. It's impossible for others to give in to you … If there's nothing else, I will take my leave," Linlong said calmly. After saying that, he turned around and ignored Lu Zhang.
"Linlong, very well. I, Lu Zhang, will remember you. I will let you know the consequences of rejecting this!" Looking at Linlong, Lu Zhang said fiercely.
Linlong had seen all kinds of things. Naturally, he was not afraid of such a threat.
Not long after returning to his house, Zhang Yue and Shen Jun came to find him. They said that they were going to familiarize themselves with the academy's environment. Linlong naturally did not reject them.
After the three of them walked for a while, Shen Jun asked curiously, "Why didn't Lu Zhang come?"
"Lu Zhang. I called him just now, but he rejected me directly. I don't know why," Zhang Yue said.
"I see," Shen Jun replied.
The two of them obviously did not take this matter to heart. Only Linlong knew what happened.
Nothing happened that night. The next morning, he was told to go to the academy's martial arts field.
From afar, Linlong saw a group of people on the martial arts field. Moreover, they were not wearing the Mask Academy's uniform. Clearly, they were new disciples who had just arrived at the Mask Academy.
There were more than four to five hundred people. Given the size of the Ice Peak Country, Linlong was not surprised to see so many people.
As soon as he arrived at the martial arts field, Shen Jun and Zhang Yue walked over.
As for Lu Zhang, he crossed his arms and stared at Linlong from afar.
Linlong could not be bothered with him. Instead, he chatted with Zhang Yue and Shen Jun.
Not long after, a tall man wearing a green mask came in front of them.
Then, he said to the four to five hundred people present, "Hello everyone, I'm Instructor Cao Ying from the Mask Academy.
"Now, let me give you a brief introduction. Our academy's disciples are taught by different mentors according to their strength. The disciples who can activate the first and second level ice talismans will be taught by me, Cao Ying. The disciples who can activate the third level ice talismans will be taught by Mentor Lu Guanyu. Mentor Lu Guanyu is busy today, so he will contact the disciples who can activate the third level ice talisman tomorrow.
"Alright, let's start the assessment of your strength now. Next, I'll read your name and show your strength in front of everyone!"
"First, Wang Fang!"
…
Cao Ying was reading the jade slip in his hand. It seemed that the jade slip had information about the disciples.
The entire Mask Academy was enveloped in a powerful Runic Magic Array. Therefore, Linlong was not surprised that the jade slip had such a function.
As such thoughts flashed through Linlong's mind, the disciple named Wang Fang walked out. He wore a tiger mask and looked a little silly.
"Wang Fang, when you reported in, you said that you can activate level two Ice Talismans?" Cao Ying looked at Wang Fang and asked.
"Yes, Instructor Cao Ying," Wang Fang said respectfully.
"Okay, then show me your strength now." Cao Ying nodded.
Wang Fang immediately took out an Ice Talisman from his body. After silently chanting a rune term, the Ice Talisman started burning. At the same time, the surrounding temperature immediately dropped.
After a while, Cao Ying nodded and said, "Indeed, I can activate the ability of level two Ice Talismans. Alright, stand behind me. From today onwards, I, Cao Ying, will teach you."
"Thank you, Instructor Cao Ying!" Wang Fang said and walked behind Cao Ying.
Cao Ying then shouted, "Next, Wang Fa!"
The disciple named Wang Fa immediately walked out.
Unknowingly, more than two hours had passed. During this period of time, Linlong had tested more than two hundred people, but he did not find any outstanding woman.
The reason why he paid attention to this was naturally because of the Third Princess that Shen Jun had mentioned.
"Next, Zhou Yingxue!"
As Cao Ying's voice sounded, a woman wearing a purple mask walked out from the crowd. The moment she walked out, she immediately attracted everyone's attention.
She was slender and curvy. Although her face could not be seen, everyone felt that she was definitely a great beauty.
Zhang Yue, who was beside Linlong, could not help but say, "This sister must be a beauty!"
"Zhou Yingxue, when you reported in, you said that you can activate level two Ice Talismans?" Cao Ying looked at Zhou Yingxue and asked.
"Yes, Instructor Cao Ying," Zhou Yingxue replied.
As soon as this voice came out, it immediately made everyone feel as if they had drunk sweet dew. It was really pleasing to the ear. The only flaw was that it sounded a little cold.
"Alright, then show your strength in front of everyone," Cao Ying said.
Zhou Yingxue immediately took out her Ice Talismans. Soon, the temperature around her plummeted.
After a moment, Cao Ying praised, "Indeed, you have that kind of strength. Alright, stand behind me."
Only then did Zhou Yingxue put away her Ice Talismans and walked behind Cao Ying.
"Next, Song Qiaoqiao!"
As Cao Ying's voice sounded, another woman walked out from the crowd. This woman was about the same height as Zhou Yingxue, but because she was wearing a loose robe, no one could see her figure.
"Song Qiaoqiao, when you reported in, you said that you can activate level two Ice Talismans?" Cao Ying looked at her and asked.
"Yes, Instructor Cao Ying," Song Qiaoqiao replied.
Her voice also made everyone's eyes light up because it was almost on par with Zhou Yingxue.
If she wasn't wearing a loose robe, many people would be able to see her figure. Many people sighed in their hearts.
After a round of testing, Song Qiaoqiao was indeed able to activate level two Ice Talismans. Hence, she stood behind Cao Ying.
Next, Cao Ying continued testing. After a while, it was Shen Jun's turn, followed by Lu Zhang.
Both of them could activate level two Ice Talismans.
After the test, Lu Zhang looked at Linlong with provocation.
"Why does Lu Zhang feel weird?" Zhang Yue also felt that something was wrong at this moment.
Linlong didn't reply. He didn't want to add insult to injury.
After a while, it was Linlong's turn.
"Next, Linlong!"
As Cao Ying's voice sounded, Linlong walked out of the crowd and came before Cao Ying.
Cao Ying glanced at Linlong and said directly, "Linlong, show your strength that can activate level two Ice Talismans!"
