"Have you read the newspaper?"

“I have.”

"Fuck, Xia Xiao is really awesome. No wonder the academy didn't care about him after he became a demon, but instead protected him. It turns out that he went there to do this. I can't even imagine it."

…

Xie Yi approached, and although he had mixed feelings, he soon fell into a pleasant atmosphere and was in a good mood. These words of amazement or admiration made him smile, his eyes full of pride. No matter what they said, Xia Xiao was his third brother, and they were a family!

"If it were me, I would have been killed when I was possessed by the devil. How could there be so many stories?"

"Nonsense, I can control myself, can you?"

"Even if you can, do you dare to plunge into the darkness? I don't dare. It's no different from seeking death, and you may even die faster."

"The academy is still the same. They won't tell us until the outcome is known. However, the impact of this incident is too great. The situation of the entire world has changed. Without the darkness shrouding the demons, the demons have lost much of their deterrent power. It's still uncertain who will win or lose this time."

"Stop using the word 'cover-up'; this is called 'trust'."

“Yes, yes, yes!”

Because of the news Xia Xiao brought back and the clarity of the current situation, everyone was very happy. Even the most mature people would be excited when their companions did something inhumane and achieved something. Although they had been saying that they were envious, no matter what Xia Xiao did, there were two words outside of it, called the academy, and they were also academy people!

Of course, this is not a reason for them to be so happy, especially Wang Ling who had previously said not to use the word "shelter".

"Isn't Xia Xiao your opponent? Why are you so happy?"

Si Qingling walked up to Wang Ling and said something that was a bit depressing, but Wang Ling smiled calmly and replied:

"Because I helped him, his success, doesn't that mean I have a share of the credit?"

"snort!"

Wang Ling still remembered that when he was at the tail horn of the wild beast, he gave the scroll engraved with the talisman array to Xia Xiao. Presumably, the scroll also helped him in times of crisis.

Seeing a handsome man standing on the treetop in the peach forest, the five sea beasts, led by Shui Tan, immediately took a few steps forward and distanced themselves from them.

"I'm not going to mess with you guys anymore. We have to do something big."

"Come on, say hello to Xia Xiao for us when you see him."

"Don't worry, I will tell him everything about your sour appearance, so that he can do something even more shocking."

Shui Tan knew something that no one else knew, so he had a sly smile on his face. When he knew he had to work with Xia Xiao last night, he was a little afraid and resistant at first, because entering the seal through the crack was too crazy, but after knowing what Xia Xiao had done and the importance of this matter in advance, he began to feel fortunate because he had a chance to be as famous as Xia Xiao.

Xia Xiao used to be unremarkable, but now he has become the object of everyone's pursuit, and even feels extremely proud to do the same thing as him. He looked at Sun Zhonglei in the peach forest, and asked him to smile and seal, attracting many new students in front of the Qingwa Building. They were lucky to see a big man like Sun Zhonglei not long after they came in. But what they were amazed at first was not his strength, but his handsome face and slender and tall figure.

When the talisman array leading to the East China Sea was activated, Tianming came with seven wild beasts and slowed down their movements. Shui Tan and the others immediately looked at the eight people at the starting point of the mountain road, and their eyes changed. No matter whether the relationship was good or bad, they might say goodbye forever, so they all fell silent and did not speak.

Everyone made way for them, and when Tianming walked in front of Wang Ling, the latter stepped forward and blocked his way. The two strong men looked at each other, without any sparks, but there was not much strong emotion either.

At the foot of the mountain, Tianming and Xia Xiao shared a dormitory. They often fought with southern merchants. At the worst, they destroyed half of the Qingwa Building and were punished to clean the toilet. For Tianming and Wang Ling, that memory was extremely shameful because it was too naive, but they missed it very much. If they had known that time would pass so quickly, they should have cherished it more. But in the blink of an eye, it was time to part.

Wang Ling and Tian Ming really had nothing to say, so he stuffed the newspaper to him and said:

"If you hate humans, don't let your life be lost at their hands."

He still doesn't understand destiny, otherwise he wouldn't say such a thing. The latter glanced at the newspaper, put it away, walked a few steps and stopped, turned around and said:

"I won't die even if you die."

Tianming really hated humans. It was humans who robbed the wild beasts of their living space, leaving only the wild beast forest. Although the forest was as big as a country, it was half the size of the largest Southern Shang Empire. But compared to the glorious past, it was only the result of defeat and oppression. Otherwise, there would be more, to every coast of the Great Wilderness.

But this did not affect Tianming's reluctance to leave the academy. The teachers and seniors in the academy were sincere to him, so how could he forget all those kindnesses before he left?

Standing next to the sea beast, the water tank spoke first:

"Take care, brother."

"You want to go back too? This battle involves the sea beast clan?"

Seeing Tianming's seriousness, Shui Tan couldn't help but laugh:

"Brother, to be honest with you, this war has nothing to do with sea beasts for now, but I am going back this time because of a special plan."

"What?"

"In early summer, you will understand when you look at the moon."

Tianming was confused. There were too many things going on recently and he didn't react at all. But the water tank said:

"You haven't read the newspaper yet?"

"No."

"Go back and read more. There are many things you don't know, such as our marching plan and the approximate distribution."

"knew."

Tianming folded it, put it into his clothes, and turned around to tell the seven people.

"Be smart when you get back and don't talk nonsense."

"clear!"

Taking a deep breath, Tianming's journey home changed. When the talisman array above his head began to fluctuate, Tianming saw Di Muli not far away, and he felt even worse. He came from the mountainside, followed by all the students of the same class who had not arrived yet. Except for Xia Xiao and Azhu, their class was complete.

Ah Zhu was also going to send the destiny, but she forgot about it after being distracted by the newspaper. It was mainly because Di Muli mentioned cultivation, so her innocent little head didn't remember it, she only knew which day the cafeteria would have her favorite meal.

Facing the familiar faces, Tianming was very reluctant to leave. He was very confused when he realized that he had such a complex emotion. He didn't understand why he had such a complex emotion, because he didn't communicate with many people. He usually just said hello or even waved. But at this time, he felt very heavy in his heart, as if there was something that he couldn't let go.

Before coming to the academy, Tianming wanted to conquer humans and destroy them after learning something. But now it seems that not only did he fail to do so, but he was also assimilated and became as emotional as humans, no longer possessing the innocence of animals. With mixed feelings, Tianming heard Dimuli say:

"Everyone, we will meet again on the battlefield or even in the afterlife. As your senior, although I have never taught you a lesson, I hope you will remember your time at the academy. From the Blue Tile Building to the Small White Building, from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, from outside the academy to inside the academy and then outside the academy, you have experienced more than any other class. Don't forget each other's existence, don't forget what you should do! Don't be bound by the academy, do you understand?"

"clear!"

Everyone said in unison, giving the new students goosebumps. But the more exciting thing was yet to come. Facing nearly a hundred people, Tianming's voice was firm, but with a little sob. He bowed deeply, and as a guest and a wild beast, he said to the many humans in front of him:

"Thank you for your care over the past four years. Farewell, everyone!"

The black dragon bowed its head, and so did the ice phoenix. Whether it was the walking lion, the forest tiger, the dark crow, the stone fish, or the iron snake and the golden bull, they all bowed their heads to show their care.

Dimuli looked at them with a gloomy face, while Wang Ling and the others looked at them with frowns. The special teachers of the eight wild beasts were all secretly weeping. These so-called ferocious wild beasts were just children, but the current era was too unfriendly to them. However, their inner purity was no different from that of humans!

The eight people did not get up for a long time, until the talisman array above their heads fell, and they left one by one with the sound of sorrow. The dragon's roar and the wind's cry shook the peach blossoms off, and the stream was disturbed by the roar of lions and tigers, rippling. This was the last thing they left for the academy.

Dimuli watched them leave, then looked into the water tank and spoke his long-awaited words.

"Be careful on your journey."

"I will definitely live up to the expectations of my predecessors!"

After the water tank finished speaking, it transformed into a dragon in the sea, and the four beasts followed it away.

A gust of wind blew across the blue brick square, and they just left, not knowing when they would return.

Wang Ling and others had their own thoughts. They were in their early twenties. Even though they had lived in this cruel world since childhood and understood many truths, they still felt an inexplicable sadness and emotion when they faced their last farewell and didn't know whether they would live or die in the future. Some even shed a tear. Although such people are only a minority, life is probably like this. Many times, you are running, with each step getting bigger and bigger, but the next moment you fall into a ditch and become a dying person.

The wind blew past him, and Dimuli's black hair mixed with silver threads fluttered wildly. During this period, the wilderness will completely change, which will be a disaster for both humans and wild beasts. As a shepherd, no matter how special he is, he just wants peace in the world. He doesn't need war to prove his strength, nor does he need to kill to satisfy himself. He just wants to let his lambs go and walk in the peach forest and meadow, nothing more, but it is difficult to achieve, and he is helpless like many people who yearn for peace.

Turning around, Dimuli's lost look silenced the more than 80 people. They followed him and walked towards the more than 400 people standing in groups in front of the Qingwa Building. The older students walked to the side of the group they were in charge of, stood on one side of the team, and faced Dimuli.

Although everyone was wearing the black and white uniforms of the academy, the temperaments of the seniors and freshmen were very different. However, they all looked at Dimuli as students and listened to his lecture. He obviously had something to say. He was well-known among the freshmen, and just by glancing at everyone, he made everyone's heart beat faster.
