Just as everyone was surrounding the Body Tempering Ground, a voice suddenly came from afar.
"Teacher Han!"
Everyone was stunned and looked toward the source of the voice. It was a short, fat, middle-aged man. He was about 1.65 meters tall and had a small belly, but he looked very amiable and harmless.
"Greetings, Elder Jiang." Han Ying looked at the man and stopped smiling. She even bowed slightly to the middle-aged man.
This man was Jiang Dihan, the elder in charge of the Body Tempering Tower. In the academy, elders were one level higher than teachers and were the administrators of the academy. Generally speaking, elders were also stronger than teachers.
When the students saw that even their teachers were bowing, they quickly bowed slightly. After all, it was important to leave a good impression on the elders in Starfire Academy.
"We're all friends. You don't have to be so polite, Teacher Han." Jiang Dihan smiled amiably. His round face was propped up. Then, he turned to look at the faces in front of him that he had never seen before and said, "Are these all new students?"
"Yes." Han Ying nodded and said, "I brought them here for their first Body Tempering."
Jiang Dihan nodded thoughtfully. Then, he smiled again and said, "I happen to be free. Let's take a look together."
"Okay." Han Ying nodded. Then, she turned to look at all the students and said loudly, "This is Elder Jiang Dihan. He's in charge of the Body Tempering Tower. If you encounter any problems in the Body Tempering Tower in the future, Elder Jiang will help you solve them. Elder Jiang will be of great help to you during your first Body Tempering! "
Hearing this, the students were delighted. They bowed to Elder Jiang and said, "Thank you, Elder!"
"It's my duty." Jiang Dihan waved his hand and smiled. Then, he said to Han Ying, "You may begin."
Hearing this, Han Ying turned to everyone and said loudly, "Now, everyone enter the Body Tempering Ground in order. When everyone is in position, I'll start the Heart Igniting Fire. Be careful, the Body Tempering Ground is big enough. There's no need to fight for positions. The effect is the same everywhere. "
After hearing this, all the students noted it down. Looking at the vast Body Tempering Grounds, the students slowly walked in with anticipation and apprehension. Lu An and Fu Yu were the same, but Lu An was also very careful, while Fu Yu directly jumped down, not caring at all.
He jumped down from a height of a person, but the ground he stepped on felt soft, and his feet even sank into the ground. Sure enough, this Body Tempering Ground was just like what it looked like. There was a thick layer of sand on the ground. However, this was not ordinary sand. The sand was very, very heavy, even heavier than iron sand. Every step was very difficult.
Because the Body Tempering Ground was very big, it could accommodate even three thousand people, let alone three hundred people. Therefore, these students were all placed closer to the teachers. The closest seats had already been taken. Lu An and Fu Yu were pushed to a corner, and the ones standing at the front were, as expected, Chu Ling, Zhou Chengkun, and the others.
After everyone went down, Jiang Dihan asked Han Ying without turning his head, "Who is the chosen one?"
Hearing this, Han Ying was shocked. Jiang Dihan was not as amiable as he looked. She hurriedly said, "It's the girl in the far left corner."
Jiang Dihan turned his head and saw a beautiful girl. He looked her up and down and found that the girl's mood was completely different from the others. She was not interested in the Body Tempering Ground at all. She just stood there and looked around casually.
"The chosen one is not someone who can appear in a small place like ours," Jiang Dihan said in a hoarse voice. His voice was a bit hoarse as he said slowly, "Every Chosen One is not a coincidence. I'm afraid this girl has a powerful background."
Han Ying nodded. Jiang Dihan had said this in the meeting last night, so the academy had sent people out to investigate. However, they couldn't understand what a person or family with a Heaven's Chosen One would want from the academy. They couldn't think of a reason no matter how hard they racked their brains.
"Let's wait and see. It's also an honor for us to cultivate a chosen one." Jiang Dihan sighed and shook his head. Then he remembered something and asked, "What about the one with five light pillars?"
"The one on the far left next to the girl." Han Ying quickly replied.
Jiang Dihan looked at the boy next to the girl. He had noticed this person just now. It was hard not to notice him in rags. Although the academy taught free of charge, food and clothes were not free. More importantly, if you want to cultivate, you need a lot of things that cost money.
For example, weapons, pills, crystal cores of strange beasts, and so on. If these academies still had to bear the cost, the entire Kingdom of Midnight would have gone bankrupt.
Seeing that all the students were in place, Jiang Dihan said to Han Ying, "Let's start."
Han Ying nodded, turned to the side, grabbed a long black pole with her hand, and then pushed hard, making a loud noise.
Buzz — —
A powerful sound wave spread, accompanied by a deafening sound. All the students suddenly felt the ground under their feet shake, and a few students even fell to the ground!
After everyone stood firm, the thick sand under their feet began to turn red. This was not because of the rising temperature, but because thousands of rays of light shot out from the ground under their feet.
Just as all the students looked curiously at their feet, all of a sudden, everyone's eyes widened and they stood in place!
Everyone felt their hearts tremble, and then a scorching heat spread from the heart to the whole body with the blood. Wherever it passed, it was like hot molten iron was poured, as if it was cutting through people's blood vessels!
"Ah!!!"
Almost everyone shouted at the same time. Their voices were hysterical, and the veins on their faces were exposed in an instant. The taut blood vessels seemed to burst out of their skin!
At the same time, everyone's body began to emit a red flame-like light. The light of three hundred people connected together, and suddenly it was very obvious. It was like a red ribbon surrounding the crowd, emitting a light that made people's hearts palpitate.
Especially when combined with the frenzied roars, the whole scene was extremely strange, like hell. Most of the people here were from wealthy families, and usually lived like princes, with many servants waiting on them, not to mention suffering such pain.
This feeling was like the cruel punishment of slaves, using a red hot iron to burn their bodies over and over again. In just a moment, a few people ran out shouting loudly!
When these people ran out, they did not feel the slightest bit ashamed, but were sweating profusely as they knelt on the ground and gasped for breath. Instead, they rejoiced as if they had escaped from death! After someone took the lead, the students immediately scrambled up the steps, frantically rushing up, wanting to escape from this place!
In a moment, the not small steps were overcrowded with people. Everyone crazily squeezed up, as if they had gone mad! Those at the back who could not squeeze up stepped on the sand and endured this cruel punishment, their hands scratching their bodies. Immediately, the necks and chests of the people at the back were scratched with deep bloodstains!
In order to escape this place, all the students became unscrupulous! They pulled their classmates' hair, regardless of gender, wealth, and wealth, they frantically pulled back anyone they met, hoping to escape faster!
"Ah!"
The escaping students were panting as if they had escaped from death, and most of the students who were still on the sand went crazy as if they had been tortured. All this did not escape the eyes of Jiang Dihan and Han Ying.
There were a total of 300 students, and almost all of them were desperately trying to squeeze out. Seeing this, Jiang Dihan frowned and said, "The quality of this batch of students is worse than that of the previous batch."
Han Ying nodded when she heard this. She also did not look good. Although the Body Tempering Ground was unbearably painful, it was the best way to improve one's strength before becoming a Celestial Master. However, these students …
Suddenly, Jiang Dihan and Han Ying both noticed that a few people were still standing in the same place. These people's quietness was a huge contrast to the others who were running for their lives.
Looking at the pale faces of these students, Jiang Dihan finally showed a smile on his face and said lightly, "At least there are a few people who are not disappointing." If you have any suggestions or thoughts, please feel free to share them. I will read all of them and choose to reply to them.
