Behind him, someone fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

The man quickly got up from the ground, dusted himself off, and turned around to find Tang Cheng and Lin Jingge looking at him.

Immediately, his expression became somewhat embarrassed.

He ignored the two of them and turned to walk in another direction, disappearing from the spot in a moment.

"Senior Sister, who was that person just now...?" Tang Cheng tilted her head, turned slightly to look at Senior Sister Wan.

Senior Sister Wan chuckled: "This is because he failed the challenge, refused to admit defeat, and was thrown out by the tower spirit."

Such things happen here almost every day. Many people have a strange confidence that they can reach the top in one go, but when they see that they can't even get past one level, they stay in the tower and refuse to come out. Of course, the tower spirit throws them out.

This kind of scene happens about once every five times you pass by this area.

"I see." Tang Cheng nodded.

Lin Jingge listened quietly to their conversation, and before she could speak, she suddenly asked Senior Sister Wan, "Tower Spirit? Are you referring to the tower spirit of this Trial Tower?"

“Exactly,” Senior Sister Wan replied immediately.

Senior Sister Wan glanced at Lin Jingge, then put her hands behind her back, took a step forward with wide legs, and tilted her head slightly.

"Our Trial Tower was forged by the Dean of the Southern Academy at the beginning of its founding using meteorites from outer space. It was originally the Dean's personal magical artifact, but in the end, it was transformed into a Trial Tower for students to practice on."

The senior sister gave a detailed account of the Trial Tower's origins, her words filled with admiration for its first dean.

After she finished speaking, she turned around, squinted slightly at Lin Jingge, and saw that the other's eyes were sparkling, as if she was very interested in this. She couldn't help but feel proud.

"These things will be explained to you by a teacher in your first class. Just listen carefully and you will learn more detailed information."

Sister Wan took her hands out from behind her back and let them hang naturally.

She stepped back between Tang Cheng and Lin Jingge, looking them over from both sides: "Anything else you want to ask? If not, I'll take you straight to your lodgings."

"Yes!" Lin Jingge quickly replied, blinking her eyes. "Senior Sister, I just heard you say that the Refining Tower was crafted by the first Dean?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Senior Sister Wan asked, puzzled as to why Lin Jingge would ask such a question, since she had clearly explained it just now.

"Then, isn't our academy's weapon crafting department very impressive?" Lin Jingge asked excitedly.

When she was in the South City, she had inquired about it and everyone said that the North Academy was the best choice for weapon crafting, while the South Academy was the worst.

But now it seems that's not the case at all.

This trial tower doesn't look like an ordinary item at all, which is enough to show that the first dean's weapon-forging skills were superb.

However, Lin Jingge's joy was short-lived, as she noticed that Senior Sister Wan, who had been all smiles, suddenly changed her expression.

Sister Wan has a baby face and a very cute smile. Her bangs fall naturally on both sides of her face, making her face look very small.

Despite her adorable face, a hint of embarrassment could be discerned.

Faced with her senior sister's slow response despite her quick answers, Lin Jingge realized something was wrong.

She gently clenched her fist, a hint of caution in her voice, and asked, "Senior Sister Wan, why aren't you saying anything? Did I say something wrong?"

"No..." Senior Sister Wan smiled awkwardly, "To be honest, I happen to be a disciple of the weapon refining sect."

"Weapon forging? Does our school have such a category? I thought you could learn everything." Tang Cheng peeked out from between Lin Jingge and Senior Sister Wan, taking a roundabout approach.

She's an impatient person; once she hears something that interests her, she immediately chimes in.

"You don't even know this?" Upon hearing Tang Cheng's question, Senior Sister Wan blinked, looking completely astonished.

Looking at the two faces filled with curiosity, she was momentarily at a loss for words.

I don't know which remote corner they came from, they don't even know the most basic rules of the academy.

His face showed a rather complicated expression.

"Huh?" Even Tang Cheng, who was slow to react, realized that Senior Sister Wan's reaction was a bit abnormal.

Tang Cheng scratched her head: "After I went out, I was only focused on having fun and didn't ask about these things. Is there some kind of superstition involved?"

Lin Jingge nodded in agreement.

She didn't inquire about many things, and she had never heard of what the internal teaching methods were like in the various colleges.

Lin Jingge looked at Senior Sister Wan with suspicion. Could there be some hidden meaning in this?

"No, not at all." Senior Sister Wan realized what was going on and put on what she thought was a kind smile again: "I thought you knew."

She smiled and said, "Let's talk as we walk. It's still quite a distance from here to our lodgings. You can't fly in the academy; you can only walk..."

After seeing a figure fly overhead, he couldn't say anything more.

"Cannot fly..." Tang Cheng murmured these words, her gaze following the figure.

Sister Wan looked embarrassed.

"Ah! I know! That person who just flew by wasn't human!"

Lin Jingge: "..."

She glanced at Tang Cheng, who was speaking, and subconsciously moved a little further away from her.

"No!" Senior Sister Wan quickly interrupted Tang Cheng, afraid that she would say something shocking again.

"It's my fault for not being clear. The inability to fly applies to those of us who can't break through the restrictions in the academy. If you have the ability, you can fly if you want, as long as you don't get caught by the teachers."

As soon as Sister Wan finished speaking, a teacher picked up a person like a chick and carried them past them, cursing, "The academy has rules against flying in the air. Come with me to the criminal hall and wait to copy the school rules!"

The teacher carried the person further and further away until their figure and voice gradually disappeared.

The worst thing is when the air suddenly goes quiet.

Sister Wan's smile froze. She turned her back, patted her mouth with her hand, and muttered to herself, "You, you, how can you be so clever!"

"Senior Sister, Senior Sister?" Tang Cheng leaned forward and shouted into Senior Sister Wan's ear, whose head was lowered, when she saw that Senior Sister Wan hadn't responded yet.

"Huh?!" Senior Sister Wan was startled and jumped up on the spot like a rabbit.

Tang Cheng was startled by the other party's action and quickly took a step back.

"Senior Sister Wan, um, I was wondering when we're leaving." Tang Cheng touched her nose a little embarrassedly.

"Sorry, I was just thinking about something. I'm leaving now, please follow me."
