Chapter 63: Going to the Inner Academy
Creak.
The old door, which was tightly closed, suddenly opened with a soft tug, and warm sunlight streamed in along the door, imprinting a long trail of light into the dark passage.
The door opened and the five stepped out one after another.
The atmosphere in the Book Collection Hall was, to be honest, a bit depressing.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, one of the Qian Bai Two Elders suddenly moved the sleeves of the robe slightly.
Immediately after, Xiao Ming and the others felt a vast and majestic invisible energy sweeping through them.
The invisible energy seemed to serve only as a scanner, so it only lasted for about ten seconds before receding like a tidal wave until it dissipated completely.
"Time's up, let's go. Remember not to divulge a single word about what happened here today, including the inside of the Book Collection Hall."
A hoarse, old voice slowly hovered at the door.
At his words, Xiao Ming and the others nodded in response and headed beyond the space lock.
"Hehe, has everyone come out?"
Seeing the five people who had come out, Hu Gan, who had been standing before the hall, smiled and said, "You didn't come back empty-handed, did you?"
"No." x5
"That's good, no matter what you get is not to your liking, but at least it's something."
Hu Gan smiled, then bowed slightly to the Qian Bai Two Elders standing by the door and said, "Since these little ones are already out, I won't bother the two Elders in their hard work anymore, so I'll take my leave."
The Qian Bai Two Elders were still very cold to what Hu Gan said and still did not react.
And Hu Gan didn't care either, waving his hand towards Xiao Ming and the others and said, "Come with me."
......
In the middle of the spacious study, Hu Jia had already disappeared, not knowing where she had gone.
Hu Gan looked at the slowly closing studio wall, before turning to Xiao Ming and the other four people in the room and said with a smile.
"Alright, you have received your rewards, so you are going to rest for two days, after two days, you must enter the Inner Academy, at that time, you will have to suffer.
Looking at Hu Gan's smiling appearance, Xiao Ming looked at him and nodded slightly.
"By the way, once again, I would like to remind everyone that newcomers should not necessarily be bullied by those senior students when they first enter the Inner Academy, as long as their fists are bigger than theirs."
"Of course, the students who are able to enter the Inner Academy were basically the best in the Outer Academy before, their cultivation talent is not weak, plus the unique cultivation method of the Inner Academy, I'm afraid it's really a bit difficult for you newcomers to catch up with their progress."
Hu Gan swept his gaze across the five people and said slowly.
At these words, the few people next to Xiao Ming nodded somewhat indifferently.
Those who managed to place in the top five in the Qualifying Competition, who among them were not full of abilities?
Although they were not as powerful as Xiao Ming, they were much stronger than the others.
That's why they were very confident.
As for Xiao Ming, he cared even less, if he wanted to, it wouldn't take him long to dominate the Inner Academy.
Seeing that they nodded, but inwardly didn't care, Hu Gan smiled and shook his head, saying.
"Alright, if there is nothing else, then everyone goes back, and in two days, come here to report, and we will take you to the Inner Academy."
"Goodbye Deputy Headmaster."
Looking at the few people who had left, Hu Gan sat back in his chair, as his fingers slowly tapped the desk.
"These little ones don't know what pain is until they hit the wall. When they enter the Inner Academy they will know how hard it is to survive there. There is never a shortage of geniuses there..."
......
Two days later, when Xiao Ming arrived at the entrance of Deputy Headmaster Hu Gan's studio, the open space in front of Hu Gan's door was already crowded with people.
It had already been filled with plenty of people.
These people were scattered in large and small groups, each laughing and talking quietly, and among these groups, the four people who had gone to the Book Collection Hall with Xiao Ming that day were the most noticeable in the center.
Xiao Ming's arrival caused the lively open space to quiet down a bit, and apart from a few people, most of the gazes towards Xiao Ming were filled with envy and awe.
Envy naturally meant that they were envious of his talent, while awe meant that they were amazed by his great strength.
In the Qualifying Competition a few days ago, Xiao Ming's stance of taking on anyone in a single move was somewhat intimidating.
Previously, they only knew of Xiao Ming's talent, but it was only after seeing him in the selection competition that they gained a more concrete understanding of Xiao Ming's terror.
And this understanding was but the tip of the iceberg, as the participants in the Qualifying Competition simply did not force Xiao Ming's true abilities.
Every time they thought about this, these proud students of Jia Nan Academy felt like a waste.
Even the good mood of entering the Inner Academy was a little low.
Just as Xiao Ming, who had arrived at the place, looked around from the edge of the open space, a few people came out from the crowd and gathered around him, greeting him.
As a Xuan rank tutor, Ge Hu's teaching ability was very good and coupled with the fact that luck was on his side this time, several people in his class other than Xiao Ming had made it into the top fifty this time.
The people who greeted Xiao Ming were the same as Xiao Ming, students under Ge Hu.
Xiao Ming's personality was not bad, and he was never overbearing, so others were willing to communicate with him.
Therefore, it did not happen that Xiao Ming was alone.
As time passed, Xiao Ming and his companions chatted with each other, looking around from time to time.
Then they realized that outside the open space at this time, there were gradually many other students gathered around.
It turned out that this was because, in the hearts of all the students of the Outer Academy, being able to enter the Inner Academy to cultivate was an extremely great glory, and countless people had been working hard with this goal in mind from the moment they entered the academy.
Therefore, every year, when students who had passed the Qualifying Competition entered the Inner Academy, many people would come to see them off and watch them.
Shriek!
Finally, amidst the waiting of all the students, the door to Hu Gan's studio opened.
Hu Gan's ancient figure was revealed in it.
After slowly sweeping his gaze over the fifty students in the open space and seeing that there were no absentees, he nodded in satisfaction and stepped forward, first congratulating them loudly.
Then he continued, "The Inner Academy is the core of the Jia Nan Academy. Due to its confidentiality, most of the students of the Outer Academy, including the instructors, do not know its exact location, so we will send you to a certain place."
Xiao Ming smiled and raised his head to look at the blue sky in the distance, where ten black shadows stretched out.
A moment later, the black shadows gradually grew larger and Xiao Ming could see that they were ten griffins that he was very familiar with.
The ten griffins flew across the academy with large shadows and finally stopped in the sky above the open space in front of Hu Gan's study.
As they flapped their wings, the wind stirred, causing some of the students below to become unsettled.
Hu Gan: "All right, time's up, all students come up, in groups of five."
Hearing Hu Gan's words, the students in the open space immediately turned around, and immediately gathered in groups of five, and then boarded the tap.
Luckily, there were plenty of seats on the backs of these taps, so all the people sat on them very consciously without needing to be reminded by Hu Gan.
These little guys are quite sensible.
Hu Gan nodded in satisfaction, then turned to Xiao Ming and Jia Yun and said.
"The top five, all five of you will be in the same team, come on up."
Top five in one team, an old tradition in the Jia Nan Academy.
Xiao Ming was not surprised, the others froze for a moment, and they all nodded indifferently.
Once all the students were on the Griffin Beast's back, Hu Gan and some of the Outer Academy elders also took to the air.
With a jerk of their shoulders, several pairs of precious Dou Qi wings spread out from their backs, and with the wings vibrating slightly, their bodies hovered motionless in the air amidst the many envious gazes from the crowd.
"This trip, we will personally escort you."
Looking at the space below, Hu Gan smiled and waved his hand, the man driving the griffin below gave a sharp whistle, and instantly, the wings of the griffin flapped violently, and its huge body slowly rose into the air, along with the shadows left on the ground becoming smaller and smaller.
"Come on, Xiao Ming! If you do well at the Inner Academy, you'll get a vacation, so remember to come to see me!"
As the griffin beast took off, a voice suddenly came from below, and Xiao Ming looked down to see that it was the girl, Hu Jia, waving goodbye to him.
Not only that, but he also saw Xiao Shan and instructor Ge Hu, who were also looking at the group of Griffon Beasts as they soared up, and when they saw Xiao Ming looking at them, they also smiled and waved goodbye to him.
"This girl..." Xiao Ming smiled helplessly but did not say anything, only waved in response.
After the caravan of flying magical beasts left Jia Nan Academy's Outer Academy, it flew on into the depths of the school's back mountains.
Deep within the back mountains of the Jia Nan Academy was a vast and endless forest.
There were all kinds of magical beasts in it, and due to the formation of griffins above the sky, from time to time, a fierce magical beast would rush out of the forest in pursuit of them.
Some flying beasts also chased after them.
However, except for those who saw them and fled, the rest of the magical beasts turned into a bloody mist.
With Hu Gan and the others around, there was no need to worry about their safety.
More than an hour passed when the griffin formation finally stopped at a bottomless mountain stream.
