The old man stood where the vice president had stood before. He was not as majestic as the latter, but the fluctuations of his vitality still made everyone afraid to speak. He had existed for a hundred years and was the leader of the foothills. No matter how powerful the younger generation was, they had to obey him.

Although Ningshen Academy emphasizes individuality and teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, the most basic respect still needs to be maintained!

Every time the old man's dry lips opened and closed, the crowd's movements would change, as if he was playing a game of chess, and everyone was a chess piece in his hand, being moved at will. Although the old man did not take any paper, he read out the names of more than a hundred people one after another, which made Xia Xiao really admire him. He remembered twenty-one classes and more than four hundred people in his mind, which was really amazing.

"Xia Xiao."

When her name was called, Xia Xiao did not leave immediately, but held Shu Shuang's hand. The latter felt that this was not a good idea and was a little shy, after all, there were many people here, but Xia Xiao leaned close to her ear and said intimately:

"Don't worry."

If they were not in the same class, he had to let others know about their relationship. There were also lustful and domineering people here, so he had to take the lead in expressing his attitude. If he did so and someone else started a trouble and made trouble for Shu Shuang, he would kill them without hesitation.

Currently, they have been assigned to Class 9, and there are already 18 people. Xia Xiao might be the last one, and there might be a spot for Shu Shuang. This is a unlikely thing, but the old man still read out Shu Shuang's name.

Xia Xiao was a little surprised. He had already prepared for the separation. After all, this seemingly random division of classes actually completely broke up the ten teams. Among the nine classes, only Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang were considered to be from the Daxia team. The others were from other countries.

The two of them walked through the crowd to the end of Class Nine's team, and in a short time, Class Ten's team had already come out in front.

Standing at the end of the team, Xia Xiao looked at the first eighteen people, and there were still some heavyweight tasks. For example, the Black Dragon was in this team, and the rest of the people were nothing special. But the young man in front of the ninth team seemed to be from Chuan Lian. If it was him, Xia Xiao's future life would be better, at least he was familiar with it.

The class division was still going on, but the people who had been divided into classes did not greet each other. Instead, they looked at the people in their own team with extreme caution.

This division of classes lasts for four years, but the people around you may not necessarily become your companions, but enemies. In the past few years, the first year of entering Ningshen Academy has always been full of dangers, and many people have been framed. Although you are alive, it is difficult to continue practicing!

These youngsters are miniatures of each country. They want to improve their own country's strength by eliminating each other. But who doesn't have such aspirations?

Xia Xiao stood at the end of the team and could see clearly what everyone was doing. They were looking around, being on guard, and looking for targets to attack in advance.

These things are not uncommon, but Xia Xiao is too lazy to participate. As long as these people don't provoke him, no matter where they are from, they can survive. But if they have bad intentions, he will definitely give them a heavy blow.

Xia Xiao said this many times, and many battle scenes appeared in his mind. But he was still relieved. Now the burden on his shoulders was lighter, and he was no longer suffocated. Besides, he didn't have to say goodbye to Shu Shuang, and he wouldn't face the problem of fighting each other in the future.

When the twenty-one classes were divided, the teachers turned around one by one and looked at the students in their charge.

Some new teachers are as excited as the students. They are looking forward to it and are also prepared to face everything.

"Teachers, please take the students to get familiar with the surroundings!"

There were too many people and it was difficult to squeeze together, so Chuan Lian took twenty people to the side of the square.

This was Chuan Lian's first time to lead students, so he was inevitably a little excited. Seeing Xia Xiao and Hei Long among them, he was even more nervous. Perhaps as a teacher, he would not show such thoughts on his face.

"Everyone, the rules of Ningshen Academy are not many, but not too few. Since you haven't encountered those problems now, I won't nag too much, but the academy has only three parts. As you can see, there are thousands of flowers and trees at the foot of the mountain, the mountainside is deserted, and the top of the mountain is hidden in the clouds. Each place has a different meaning, but before you explore, you must go through some theoretical guidance."

Pointing to the blue-tiled house on one side, Chuan Lian said in the simplest language:

"Two rows of green tiles, one row for accommodation and one row for classes."

"We have a special school?"

A poor boy asked a question, and Chuan Lian was very friendly and nodded:

"Yes, it's on the top floor with green tiles. It's the first room on the left side of the stairs."

In the air, this blue-tiled house looked short, but it actually had five floors. When Xia Xiao saw it, his eyebrows raised in an exaggerated way. He had never noticed this before. Was this done intentionally by the academy, or was he dazzled? Xia Xiao, who always believed in himself, thought it was the former. Was it a trick?

Even though it was a basic trick, it still fooled everyone. When they got closer, they saw that it was indeed a five-story building, not a short mud house.

"I'll take you to see it."

Chuan Lian said this and led 20 people into the building. As soon as they entered the building, there was a huge mirror on the left wall.

The building was full of people at this time and the mirror was filled with people. Xia Xiao glanced at it and looked elsewhere.

Although no one expressed their opinions, when they reached the fifth floor, they had to admit that the staircase was too narrow, only allowing two people to walk side by side. But the corridor was very wide, so this design was quite unique.

When the door opened, the classroom was simple, with twenty desks neatly arranged in four rows and five columns.

The windows of the school were very high, probably designed for people three meters tall. Below them were several pots of bright red geraniums, which were in full bloom.

"Let's go to the dormitory next."

Chuan Lian was still relatively gentle, but some students had been left behind and were standing at the school gate, at a loss as to what to do.

Walking down the stairs and looking at the mountain road on the other side, Xia Xiao always had an extraordinarily profound feeling, as if the other side of the mountain road was a profound and unknowable place.

Seeing him looking at him, Chuan Lian explained:

"After one year, if you can walk up the mountainside along the mountain path, you will be able to leave this mundane mountain foothills."

“What if we walk up the mountainside ahead of time?”

"Then leave early and receive guidance from stronger teachers."

“The teachers will change too?”

Chuan Lian nodded and didn't hide anything.

"In the past, there were three teachers who went to different places in each country. I am an ordinary teacher, and I am only responsible for guiding the students at the foot of the mountain. When we reach the middle of the mountain, other teachers will take charge."

"What about the top of the mountain?"

When Xia Xiao asked this, Chuan Lian laughed.

"Except for the vice-president, no one has ever been to the top of the mountain."

"How high is this mountain?"

Xia Xiao seemed to be somewhat positive, but he just wanted to know the answer. Standing downstairs of the accommodation building, Chuan Lian looked up at the mountain and answered after a long time.

“Very high.”

Chuan Lian was young, and at this time he had no restraints and laughed often. But when it came to this mountain, he didn't know how high it was, and he might not be able to figure it out in his lifetime. Xia Xiao and the others imitated him and looked up, but they could see nothing, only clouds and mist covering the mountain top.

The blue-tiled house they were staying in had women on the left and men on the right. Normally, they were not allowed to move around, but today was an exception. Going up to the third floor, two numbered rooms were connected. But when the eight girls saw it, they couldn't help but be surprised. Is this their room? Four people living together?

This is the rule, but Xia Xiao doesn't understand why there is such a rule? Doesn't this increase the chance of accidents? Women living together are scheming against each other, and men living together fight. Is this what Ningshen Academy wants, or is it for the sake of running-in? In short, there must be an intention.

Opening the door, there were four beds in each room, and the tables and cabinets were all clean and tidy. But none of the eight girls were willing, including Shu Shuang. She originally thought that even if she couldn't live with Xia Xiao, she could have a separate room, but she didn't expect it to be like this. How inconvenient it would be every day, living with a stranger, she couldn't get used to it just thinking about it.

Later, they went to the boys' side. Among the girls, only Shu Shuang followed. She wanted to see which room Xia Xiao lived in. There was a bamboo raft at the door with a name engraved on it. Seeing that the black dragon lived with him, Xia Xiao thought it was interesting.

Chuan Lian gave them some more instructions, most of which were common sense, but he didn't mention that fighting was forbidden. Afterwards, they could allocate their time freely today, and instead of sitting in the room, they might as well go for a walk on the mountain road.

After packing up his things, Xia Xiao waited for Shu Shuang in front of the building. The latter was still without makeup. Except for some special moments, she rarely put on makeup, but the peach blossoms all over the mountain were hard to compare with it.

"The instructor said earlier that if we walk up the mountainside, we can enter early. How can we say that we can't enter?"

At the edge of the square, Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang walked side by side, stepped onto the mountain path, and took three steps.

"I'm afraid there will be a barrier."

There were many people coming to challenge them at this time, but when Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang reached the ninth stone step, they disappeared from the eyes of the people behind them. Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang still didn't notice anything. It was just that the peach blossoms all over the mountain were a bit intoxicating.
