"They are scattered everywhere, like the shadows of the students in the academy. Whenever you leave the academy, they will get detailed intelligence, then get ready and go immediately."

"How did you know we left the academy? Could you observe what was going on in the academy?"

Xia Xiao thought it was impossible, the academy was not so easy to be spied on. The man was about to answer truthfully, but the pain in his chest and arms woke him up and he no longer indulged in fear.

The man almost caused a disaster due to a brief moment of fear, but fortunately, he had a chance to make amends. If the dying people really revealed the secrets of the alliance, wouldn't it prove the fact that the academy said they were useless!

"As long as you tell the truth, I can spare your life."

Xia Xiao's deep eyes seemed to be able to see through the man's thoughts, but the latter was stunned for a moment and snorted coldly:

"With injuries like this, even if I survive I'll be useless. It's better to just die."

"You don't value yourself enough, so you have come to this point. If you give up, you will no longer have the last chance to become stronger. Are you sure you don't want to live, but choose to die?"

"You said that so nicely, isn't it just for information? You killed so many pirates, and I am the only way to know about the alliance. But I tell you, anyone who knows the existence of the alliance must die, so I don't care! The one-eyed dragon captured Wang Ling to show goodwill to the alliance and to lure more people out. But he doesn't care about life or death, because he wants to join the alliance and destroy the academy. There are many people who are unhappy with the academy. What the academy has done over the years has made everyone know its nobility and low-keyness, and also made many people willing to sacrifice and destroy it, and I am the same!"

The man gnashed his teeth, as if he believed in some evil cult, and his words were full of fallacies, which made him crazy.

These ideas caused his face to crack, and in the cracks there was flesh and blood, as well as the light of his vital energy. Wherever this light reached, the air would without exception ripple violently, as if it would burst.

When the first explosion sounded, Xia Xiao spread his wings and flew away, and the machete in his hand pierced the man's head like an arrow, splashing red slurry mixed with transparent liquid on the reef. But even if his breath was weak, he could not stop the violent vitality in his body, and could not avoid the destruction of his vitality.

Xia Xiao quickly rose into the air, and the giant reef on the side of the island was blown apart, raising a piece of rubble that shot towards Xia Xiao. Although he dodged it, the strong wind and waves still cut his clothes and injured his flesh. There were countless scratches of varying depths on his body, but compared to the man who was left with only a bloodstain, it was only a minor injury.

Since he ended his life by destroying the vitality tree, if outsiders saw it, they would definitely be curious about what kind of feud this guy had with the academy? But Xia Xiao knew that the teachers of the academy would never speak ill of him, unless this guy didn't even understand a joke.

Xia Xiao wanted to let him live, after all, they were brothers, if the prodigal son turned back, he would not be as unnegotiable as he was to the pirates. But this guy didn't appreciate it, so forget it, there was nothing worth regretting.

Several patches of his clothes were red, but Xia Xiao's body was enveloped in the mist, and his injuries recovered quickly. They were just flesh wounds, and Xia Xiao recovered very quickly. Because in the past six months, he had learned to use multiple vitality to heal his injuries at the same time.

Wood, Water and Fire all recover physical injuries very quickly. The fastest one is not Wood, but Water. The former only gave Xia Xiao life again, and he was the most proficient at it, so he kept using Wood to heal his wounds. But after becoming familiar with Water, he found that it was the most efficient. That gentle power, although it does not have the secret of tree growth, may heal the wound.

The three-color halo mixed together, and a few sparks fell in the wind. The sparks fell on the pool of blood that the man had turned into, and were deeply imprinted in a black reef pit, somewhat like a colorful painting on an ancient rock wall.

“There may be many such people.”

Ju Mang, who stopped and dispersed the wind and waves in time, flew behind Xia Xiao. Although the latter was in a halo, his voice was clear and penetrated through.

"Yes! There are more than 300 people in each session. In just the past two or three sessions, there have been more than 1,000 people."

"Fortunately not everyone is like this, otherwise the academy would have created a large force of nearly 30,000 people."

"I estimate that there are at least a thousand people. With those forces targeting us, the academy may not have an easy time."

"If there were only a few people, it would be fine if the academy ignored them, but with so many, wouldn't it be like leaving ourselves with hidden dangers if we don't take action?"

"You have to ask the seniors about these things."

Xia Xiao stood on the reef, facing the sea. Unfortunately, there were no flowers on the black reef mountain, let alone blooming flowers. He just listened to the melody of the wind amid the sound of the breaking waves, as if they were discussing the academy. If there was one person like this, it would definitely be that person's problem, but now that an alliance has emerged, I wonder how many people in the world will begin to question the academy. This force with a short history still has some controversy.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Ju Mang also fell silent and waited quietly for Wang Ling.

Xiaoyu sat under the reef where Xia Xiao stood, one foot above the sea. Every time the waves hit the reef, they would break into pearl-like water droplets, which were rolled up by the fish's tail and flowed down. There was a bloody smell in the sea, otherwise she really wanted to go in and play. This sea was much more lively than the sea in the spiritual contract space.

Seeing that Xia Xiao had no intention of leaving immediately, Xiaoyu waved her fingers to speed up the flow of the seawater. The sound of the waves in Xia Xiao's ears seemed to speed up many times, becoming weird and funny. But Xiaoyu finally got into the mood to play, so he just looked at her lovingly and nodded when she asked for her consent.

When the seawater became pure, Xiaoyu threw herself into it. Xia Xiao formed a seal in the halo, and three small fish jumped out of the spiritual contract space and threw themselves into the sea. Although they did not come from here, they were very happy to see it. The gray fish was too lazy to swim, so it floated on the sea surface and blew bubbles. When Xiaoyu curiously explored the underwater world and was happy about a coral reef and clownfish, countless underwater animals came to her, forming a rich picture of underwater animals.

Xiaoyu's happy mood reached Xia Xiao's mind. He often felt Xiaoyu's strong emotions. The simpler the person, the easier it is to express happiness and fear. Unlike Xia Xiao, even if he had a lot of things in his heart, he rarely let Xiaoyu and Ju Mang know.

When his injuries got better, Xia Xiao returned to the top of the mountain after hearing Ah Zhu's voice from afar. Wang Ling had recovered his vitality and could return to the academy, but Xia Xiao asked him to wait a little longer. Ju Mang took Xiao Ran down the mountain, leaving only the three of them standing there.

Xia Xiao knew that Wang Ling would ask if anyone was coming, so he took the initiative to tell everything. But the man's words and actions made Wang Ling despise him.

"He's really good at making excuses. Why doesn't he say that he was born too late? If he was born 30,000 years earlier, he might have become someone like Qing Xunzi, the number one cultivator in the Great Wilderness today."

"That's right! You're so shameless even though you're obviously not strong enough to say that!"

Ah Zhu was furious. In her mind, the college had a very perfect image. In addition to her grandmother, even if the grandparents in the mountain village said bad things about the college, she would refute them without hesitation. Seeing her angry and frustrated, kicking a stone would hurt her feet, Xia Xiao smiled and said:

"It's really ridiculous, but the academy will be under pressure. I vaguely feel that this matter will become a big deal."

"It has been dormant for so long. Once it appears, it will explode. It will definitely not just cause a little trouble and then let it go. We will be in the academy for the next two and a half years, and we have to think about how to solve it. But I am curious why the academy ignores it."

Wang Ling didn't want to talk about the previous incident, nor did he always show his gratitude to Xia Xiao. As a prince of a great country, he could easily cover up whatever unspeakable things he did. However, as a member of the academy, worrying about him at this time was a common topic between him and Xia Xiao.

The wind was strong at high altitude. In the sea breeze full of the smell of the sea, Xia Xiao suddenly laughed, as if thinking of something very interesting. Wang Ling asked him why he laughed, he just took out a bottle of water from his backpack, gulped down half of the bottle, and handed it to Wang Ling. The latter didn't want to take it at first, he didn't have the habit of devaluing himself, but his lips were very chapped, and there was no water in his mouth. He licked his lips many times before talking. In the end, he still took it, thinking of Xia Xiao's advice that although he drank it, he didn't spit in it, and drank it all in one breath.

It felt good to no longer be thirsty, but under Wang Ling's gaze, Xia Xiao asked:

"Is that enough?"

Wang Ling looked at him. He seemed to drink the water on purpose for his own sake. Even if it was not enough, he would still say it was enough.

"Why doesn't the college care?"

Wang Ling brought back the previous topic. Xia Xiao and Hu Bugui were close, so he should know something. But Wang Ling miscalculated. Xia Xiao didn't know, but he had some guesses and spoke out.

"The bigger the object the scorching sun shines on, the bigger the shadow. The academy is too upright in its work, and there is no shortcut in it. It is precisely because it is too fair that some people feel it is unfair. In addition, the academy is very similar to the Zou Shou Church in one respect. The latter advocates inaction and does not interfere too much. Just like in the wars between the countries in the Great Wilderness, they have always only promoted peace and transmitted ideas, but never intervened in the root of the problem."

Xia Xiao put his hands behind his back and spoke in a mature tone.

"Given the nature of the academy, they probably won't take the initiative to encircle and suppress them. But if they go too far, they may be eradicated and even the people around them may be implicated."

Everything has its good and bad sides. Everyone has two sides, including Xia Xiao and his respected teacher. People who can be selfless are always a minority among the minority. Such people are worthy of praise, but it does not mean that selfish people should be scolded. As long as they do not harm the interests of the masses for their own interests, there is no reason to sentence them to death.

Unkindness is not the same as evil. Only when unkindness accumulates too much will evil be produced. But the shadow of the academy is too distorted, and the evil brewed even makes them forget that they have received the teachings of the academy and think about killing their master. From the moment this idea comes, they are dead.

Ah Zhu stood beside Xia Xiao and Wang Ling. If she was the eldest senior sister, she would have wiped them out in one breath. What the hell, my grandmother said that people who don't know how to be grateful are ungrateful!

But how could Ah Zhu guess what the academy was thinking? Even Xia Xiao and Wang Ling couldn't figure it out.
