"* Cough *, these two are the academy's specially recruited students. Their talent is not bad but they missed the first round of selection. I happen to have two spots under my name so I gave them to them."
Hu Gan coughed dryly. He glanced at the top five new students. After which, his gaze landed on Mu Qingxiao and the Little Doctor.
"Specially recruited students?"
Hearing this, the two elders' surprised gazes landed on the two of them. After which, they looked at Hu Gan and scolded with a smile, "So that's how it is. Old fellow, you are also afraid of losing face!"
The other old man nodded slightly and said, "However, they are about to catch up with the Outer Academy instructors at such an age. Their potential is not inferior to the geniuses of previous years. They are indeed worth grooming."
Standing by the side and hearing their conversation, Mu Qingxiao could faintly hear some clues.
It seemed that no matter where it was, the strength and performance of each batch of new students was related to the face of the school leaders. Jia Nan Academy was the same.
Hu Gan was not very satisfied with this batch of new students. Coincidentally, he had met Mu Qingxiao and the Little Doctor. Therefore, he allowed the two of them to skip the selection and directly enter the ranks of the new students.
Mu Qingxiao displayed an eight star Dou Shi while the Little Doctor was a seven star Dou Shi. Placed among the new students, they were definitely the top existences. Even in the Inner Academy, they would not be at the bottom.
"Wow, what a beautiful girl. Looks like the ranking of the beauties in the Inner Academy will change."
"That's right. This is also the first time that I have seen such a beautiful girl. I feel that the beauties in the Inner Academy are much weaker when compared to her!"
After the Little Doctor appeared, it caused a trace of surprise to flash across the eyes of the twenty students behind the old man. One by one, they whistled and teased with their mouths, appearing like hooligans.
"All of you shut up. Whoever says another word will have half a month of tower training time deducted."
Elder Su cried out sternly. The smiling young students behind him immediately shut their mouths. Clearly, the so called tower training time was an extremely precious thing to them.
A glint flashed across Mu Qingxiao's eyes. Tower training. It was likely that he was referring to his target, the 'Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower'.
After reprimanding them, Elder Su smiled and said, "You are all new students. I hope that you can adapt to this place as much as possible. That way, you will obtain great benefits."
"Look at this group of bastards behind me. In the past, although they passed through the outer court selection, they were merely existences that were ranked at the bottom. However, only a year has passed now, and I dare guarantee that with their strength, they would absolutely be able to crush all of you in your group."
As he spoke, Elder Su inadvertently glanced at Mu Qingxiao and the Little Doctor. He thought to himself, "Of course, other than this kid and this little girl."
"Alright, let's cut to the chase. Although you've already passed the selection and obtained the qualifications to enter the inner court, it's not over yet."
Elder Su smiled slightly. He waved his hand and a handful of black crystal pieces appeared in his hand. With a random toss, the crystal pieces shot out. They appeared to have grown eyes as they floated in front of all the new students.
Holding the chip in her hand, Mu Qingxiao immediately felt a strange energy seeping out from it. There was a transparent mirror on the chip with a clear number printed on it.
"Five!"
When Elder Su handed out the crystal pieces, the nearly twenty older students behind him were filled with fervor. They didn't conceal the covetous expression in their eyes in the slightest.
"Some things are quite complicated to explain. All of you only need to know one thing now, and that is that the crystal pieces in your hands are extremely precious."
As he spoke, Elder Su pointed at the nearly twenty older students behind him and said, "You'll understand once you officially enter the inner court. Just look at the gazes of this group of animals behind me and you'll know."
Seeing the gazes of the older students, the new students felt that something was wrong. Their hearts were filled with vigilance as they swiftly put away the crystal pieces.
"Next, all of you need to enter the forest and successfully arrive at the end of the forest at the Inner Court."
At the same time, Elder Su pointed at the older students behind him and said in a flat tone, "There are no Magical Beasts within the forest, but all of you have to be careful of them. According to the rules of the inner court, there are no restrictions on attacking within the forest. In other words, they can attack all of you."
"Remember, the numbers on the crystal pieces in your hands are extremely tempting to them. So, besides killing you, they will use all methods to obtain the Fire Energy on your crystal pieces."
When he saw the new students reveal bewildered expressions, Elder Su patiently said, "All of you will understand how precious Fire Energy is in the future. Now, all of you only need to avoid the pursuit of the older students or defeat them. So long as you're not captured by them and smoothly arrive at the inner court, then you'll be able to obtain the final reward. The earlier you arrive, the more abundant the reward."
Elder Su's gaze swept past all the new students, then he pointed at the forest behind them.
"Our inner court calls the forest seizing competition the Fire Energy Hunting Competition. Now, I announce that this year's Fire Energy Hunting Competition has officially begun. All new students, start fleeing."
.....
.....
Within the dense forest, light sprinkled down from the gaps between the leaves. Specks of light illuminated the ground that was covered in withered leaves, causing the entire forest to seem slightly illusory.
Suddenly, subtle footsteps sounded within the quiet forest. The sound came from afar and approached. After a short moment, two figures gradually appeared. A male and a female. The male was handsome and the female was extremely beautiful.
"You're still injured. Why did you split up with the new student group?" Walking on the right, the Little Doctor asked in puzzlement. There was a trace of blame and gentleness in her beautiful eyes.
Mu Qingxiao extended her hand and rubbed her little head. She said, "I'm fine now. Besides, we're only dealing with some students. We also need to collect some of the Fire Energy that the elder mentioned just now. It'll be quite beneficial to you."
In the inner court, if one wanted to enter the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower to cultivate, one must possess Fire Energy. The fire attribute energy within the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower would definitely have the effect of suppressing the Woeful Poison Body.
Moreover, Mu Qingxiao also needed a large amount of Fire Energy. This way, she would not attract any attention when she stayed within the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower while searching for the Fallen Heart Flame.
"Hmm? The Fire Energy is here … "
Just as her voice fell, a mocking voice sounded from within the forest, "Our luck is really not bad. We've encountered another group. Eh? Isn't this the girl with the extremely beautiful appearance from just now? "
Raising her head and looking over, she saw five youths standing on a tree branch five metres away in picturesque disorder. Looking at the pagoda-shaped badge on their left chest, they were undoubtedly older students.
At this moment, the five older students were looking at Mu Qingxiao and the Little Doctor in front of them with mocking faces. They were like cats that had seen a mouse.
"It's really quite pitiful for such a beautiful girl to encounter such a situation. We brothers also want to have tender and protective feelings for the fairer sex. However, the heavens are not on our side. The Fire Energy is also very important to us. Obediently give us the Fire Energy so that we won't have to take action. How about it?"
A strange smile surfaced on Mu Qingxiao's face. She said, "The forest is quite big. You guys are really unlucky."
Hearing this, the five older students were all stunned. They did not understand what she meant.
