The Zephyr Academy was in a state of chaos today. It was already the end of the year and they were just waiting for the people from the branch divisions to be selected. After the Spirit Battle Tournament, everyone would be able to happily go back to their own homes and gather again next year.
But Ning Rui had suddenly announced that all the disciples of the Zephyr Academy would be required to participate in a new trial, and it would be quite a distance away from the Zephyr Academy. The round trip would take several months and they would be leaving in three days.
Ning Rui had also instructed all the disciples to prepare their things, saying that the trial this time would not be held in the Battle Spirits Forest, but under a cliff.
When the news got out, the entire Zephyr Academy erupted into a frenzy.
The aftermath of the Headmaster's death had not even dissipated and the academy had suddenly come up with something new. The youths who had been preparing to pack their things and go home were suddenly filled with complaints.
Unfortunately, the one in charge now was not the kind and amiable Headmaster Fan Qi, but Ning Rui.
When Ning Rui was the Vice Headmaster, he had been very humble. But when Fan Qi took over, Ning Rui became the acting Headmaster and his control over the academy became stricter and stricter. What made the disciples even more intolerable was the murderous Gu Ying!
The Zephyr Academy had been having disciples mysteriously disappearing recently and many of the disciples already knew that the disciples who disappeared had been killed by Gu Ying. Initially, some of them had gone to Ning Rui to demand that he uphold justice, but when that person's body was dumped at the gates of the Zephyr Academy the next day, no one dared to bring up the matter again.
Everyone knew in their hearts that Ning Rui was in cahoots with Gu Ying. No matter how much they cried, Ning Rui would not be able to uphold justice for them.
At that moment, they missed the kind and protective Fan Qi. Trembling with fear, all of them hoped that the end of the year would come soon, so that they could go home and hide from the God of Slaughter.
But at that moment, Ning Rui had suddenly decided to hold a trial!
Some of them wanted to protest, but when they saw Gu Ying standing beside Ning Rui, they swallowed their complaints and went to pack their things dejectedly, preparing to leave in three days.
Towards Ning Rui's sudden request for a trial, Nangong Xu did not understand. He had gone to Ning Rui several times but was stopped by Gongcheng Lei outside.
Seeing that there was only one day left before they set off, Nangong Xu could not hold himself back any longer. He sent Gongcheng Lei flying and kicked open the door to Ning Rui's study!
Inside the study, Ning Rui was seated at the desk, and upon the desk was Ning Xin's urn. When he saw Nangong Xu push open the door and enter, Ning Rui slowly raised his head, his eyes dark and gloomy, looking rather haggard.
Nangong Xu had rushed over in a rage, but when he saw Ning Rui's expression, he was momentarily stunned.
"Vice Principal … What's wrong with you?" Nangong Xu saw that Ning Rui's expression was haggard and the words that were about to come out of his mouth were stuck in his throat.
Ning Rui's brow creased up slightly and he looked at Nangong Xu to say: "Senior Nangong seems to have forgotten that you should now address me as the Headmaster." As he spoke, Ning Rui put away Ning Xin's urn.
Nangong Xu said, "Alright, the dean is the dean. Then, can the dean explain to me what this map is all about?" Nangong Xu slapped a brand new map onto Ning Rui's desk.
That was a map he had just gotten his hands on, and the destination marked upon the map was the place where the Zephyr Academy's disciples would be heading for the upcoming trial.
Ning Rui glanced at the map and said: "Isn't it just a place for the trial? Why is Senior Nangong so angry? "
