The academy did not become deserted because of the departure of fifty people, but the place became more spacious. The remaining 350 people were ready and began to accept tasks. In the next six months, they had tasks assigned by the academy, and they had to volunteer and take the initiative to accept tasks. The instructor even gave a clear task volume, and they had to complete five first-class tasks!

A must, to make everyone understand the importance of the mission. After all, the academy rarely does this, except that fifty people must be eliminated and five first-class missions must be completed.

The better the temper of a person, the more terrible he is when he gets angry. The same is true for colleges that do not have rigid education when it comes to requirements!

From the instructor, everyone learned about the four levels of tasks. A, B, C, and D, three by three, stacked up in sequence. To complete five A-level tasks, it would be equivalent to fifteen B-level tasks, forty-five C-level tasks, and the number of D-level tasks is too large, so I won't talk about it. Anyway, a little calculation shows that this is not a simple task.

Chuan Lian told Xia Xiao that the D-level tasks were all trivial, such as sweeping the peach forest and cutting branches all over the mountain. The C-level tasks required leaving the academy and going to various places to complete them, and the content and form were varied. The B-level tasks were related to human lives and were more dangerous. As for the A-level tasks, they had the greatest changes and the least number. Therefore, most of these five A-level tasks were superimposed, and completing them in one go was a pipe dream!

Before the A and B grade tasks were released, everyone followed the instructor's instructions. Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang swept the peach forest for two days and two nights, and finally fell asleep in the forest with a broom in their arms. They said before that this task was stupid and no one would do it. It seemed simple, but the workload was extremely heavy, and it was still a D grade! But no one could escape the law of true fragrance. After all, it was hard to refuse a designated task.

When he woke up, it was already dawn. Xia Xiao carried two large brooms and went down the mountain with Shu Shuang.

Without the thick dead leaves, the peach forest is indeed much more beautiful, but the dead leaves and falling leaves in autumn are a natural phenomenon, so why do we need to sweep them? Shu Shuang answered Xia Xiao.

"Self-cultivation is the most important thing, and beauty comes second."

Shu Shuang never liked to complain. At this moment, she just covered her lips with her hands, stretched her soft body, and revealed a very beautiful curve. She yawned, held Xia Xiao's hand, and stepped over each stone in a hurry. She had to jump every few steps, otherwise she couldn't keep up with Xia Xiao. Shu Shuang, who hadn't woken up yet, was much cuter than usual, less sensible, and more clingy like a girl.

Xia Xiao slowed down his pace and walked slowly with her. When they reached the Qingwa Building, Xia Xiao gave her instructions softly.

"Go back and sleep well."

Shu Shuang's face was very soft, Xia Xiao liked to touch it. Shu Shuang was soft and sweet, she chuckled, squinted her sleepy eyes, and said, "I'm going." Xia Xiao hugged her and touched her head.

"Go ahead, go ahead."

Shu Shuang likes to walk along the wall. Xia Xiao will not return to the dormitory until she turns up the stairs. Shu Shuang worked hard last night. They originally planned to take a nap and the others would wake up to sweep the house. However, Xia Xiao really fell asleep, but Shu Shuang did not. She secretly finished all the work. As soon as she lay on Xia Xiao's shoulder, it was dawn. She didn't sleep for a few minutes, otherwise she wouldn't be so sleepy.

Lying on the bed, Xia Xiao prepared to have a good sleep. There should be no tasks in the next few days.

Sure enough, in the early stage when all the tasks were arranged by the instructor, Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang had a new task four days later. Compared with sweeping the peach forest on the mountain, this task was really more realistic.

Chuan Lian handed the map to Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang and told them:

"This time, the mission is level C. Go to the border between the Great Xia Dynasty and the Southern Kingdom and protect the envoys of the two countries outside the pavilion of Baiyu Lake to successfully sign the latest alliance. During this time, there may be people from the Southern Merchants who will interfere. The means of counterattack will depend on the situation. If possible, don't show up."

Chuan Lian's implication was that one should not be afraid of killing people, as that was a compulsory course for them. The people in this wilderness, even those in Tanghua Temple, had blood on their hands, and as long as it was not innocent blood, it could always be washed away. Chuan Lian soon realized that he might have thought too much. Would Xia Xiao be afraid? He had killed people from Longgang to Rongcheng to Wanlingcheng to the imperial capital, Zhenxun, and then to the academy, and he really wasn't afraid. He was not a good boy from a good family, but such a mission was only a Class C mission, so how dangerous would a Class A mission be?

After thanking him, Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang went back to prepare. A set of tight clothes, a small backpack, and a dark red machete that had not been used for a long time were all his equipment. As the first person from the "218" dormitory to go out of the college to carry out the mission, the three Tianmings stared at Xia Xiao, wishing they could go with him.

"Let's go. I guess I'll be back in the evening!"

Xia Xiao grinned and went to the square with Shu Shuang.

The square is omnipotent, everything is held here, and this is also the exit to leave the academy and head to the outside world. A huge teleportation array appears on it, and it seems to be able to reach any country.

Below, Hu Bugui moved a recliner and sat down, holding a small teapot, feeling extremely comfortable. He looked at the two people getting ready to go, and smiled kindly:

"Little guy, be careful on your way."

"Thank you, senior."

Xia Xiao bowed with a smile. Hu Bugui was a powerful person. I heard from Grandma Xiao Xilou that he was once a royal family of the Wild Beast Forest and a black dragon. He learned about the existence of the academy by chance and came from afar to study.

Apart from the enrollment each year, it was difficult to enter the academy. However, Hu Bugui flew over the Ninth Heaven, risked his life to break through the barrier set up by the academy in the sky, and came to this mountain. The academy thought he was reckless and middle-aged, so they refused to accept him. With a wave of the teacher's hand, he appeared thousands of miles away. But he tried again and again, and finally lay dying in this square, so weak that he couldn't even transform into a human form. This moved the academy and they kept him.

Facts have proved that the decision of the academy and Hu Bugui was right! Under the teachings of the academy, the latter successfully broke through the shackles and became an eighth-level wild beast, equivalent to the human realm of the sky. This realm is comparable to thousands. At the same time, the academy also gained a loyal teacher who guarded the foothills for a hundred years. He gave up his identity as a black dragon and called himself Hu Bugui, but no one knew what he meant except himself.

Although he is already old, Hu Bugui's eyes are still clear. Although it seems a little weird, Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang are already far away in his eyes.

There are two talisman formations in the air, one outside and one inside. The outside is responsible for transmission, and the inside is responsible for protection. Although Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang's strength has improved and is in the middle stage of the young age of the Venerable Realm, they are nothing under the talisman formation.

After wrapping themselves with vitality, the talisman array protected them again. The double blessing made Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang feel much less shaken. They had already made preparations to prevent shaking, but now it seems much better than half a year ago.

After waiting for half a quarter of an hour, the two felt as if they were being left behind. But within two seconds, their wings had spread out. The wide wings made them stay in the air.

After a few seconds of hesitation, although he still hadn't found his sense of direction, Xia Xiao had already landed on the nearest hilltop with Shu Shuang. The talisman array was not 100% accurate, and could only place them roughly. But no matter where this was, it was the border between Daxia and the Southern Kingdom, and even though they were allies, they still had to protect themselves.

The benefits of being able to fly cannot be described in a few words. The two squatted under a few bare trees and looked around. At the bottom of the mountain, there was a large lake as clear as a mirror. In the middle of the lake, there was a small pavilion, standing alone. On both sides were hills, with no obvious towns or houses, and no reference points. Xia Xiao, who was not familiar with the border between Daxia and the South, could only look at the map.

The map was detailed, and Xia Xiao quickly found a lake.

"Baiyu Lake, this is it."

Xia Xiaozhi was lucky, as it was only two kilometers away from Baiyu Lake. If he didn't have wings, it would take a long time to run down the mountain, but if he flew, it would be a straight line distance, very close.

Soon, Xia Xiao touched the ground with his hands, and some dry grass and bushes grew around his body to provide cover.

“There should be a war.”

"The Southern businessman is really persistent. He has come so far."

The Southern Kingdom and the Southern Shang Empire are separated by the Peace Zone and the mountains where the Ningshen Academy is located. If they want to send people here, they can only cross mountains and ridges and travel for months. But is it really worth it for a treaty? If the treaty is broken, it can be concluded again, but the practitioners of the Southern Shang will suffer losses.

"Master is still in the dynasty. They dare not come in casually, and they are unwilling to watch Daxia and the Southern Kingdom resume their neighborly relationship. They have no choice but to come all the way to stop them. Rather than saying it is a stop, it is better to say that they have made clear their determination and expressed their desire to dominate."

Shu Shuang didn't like fighting and never caused trouble, but where would they attack from? Shu Shuang looked for a long time, and finally stopped his gaze at his feet. This place was indeed the first choice.

"It should be signed at noon, let's take a break."

In just a moment, there was movement on the top of the mountain.
