Duan Qingxi was shocked. How come she didn't know there was such a place before?!
It must be that the three Taoist masters didn't tell her because they were afraid that she would take risks!
Rong Xu then continued, "But you can't enter the Yanhuo Mountain at any time. It's like a furnace, and even the rocks at the foot of the mountain are scorching hot. Ordinary people would get burned if they went in. But for a few days every year, it's like a completely different place, no different from an ordinary forest. That's why everyone likes to go in during this time to look for herbs or equipment. But they have to come out within the specified time, otherwise they will really be burned to ashes."
"Some people didn't believe in superstition before, so they went in and didn't come out according to the rules. As a result... not even a single ashe was left!"
Duan Qingxi nodded. In other words, the four major academies and Tianhao College are going to take students to the Yanhuo Mountain Trial?
At this time, Dean Yu Qing said again: "Therefore, in half a month, the five colleges will hold a competition, and the material situation of each college will be determined based on the competition."
Duan Qingxi was confused again and asked, "Why do we have to rely on competitions to obtain supplies?"
Rong Xu sneered, his eyes filled with disdain. "It must be the work of the four major academies! Every year, Tai Academy distributes supplies to each academy, usually dividing them equally. They definitely don't want us to participate in the Flame Realm Trial, or they hope we'll embarrass ourselves in the Flame Realm Trial. So, they don't want to share the supplies with us, so they found this lame excuse to snatch our supplies."
After a pause, he continued, "Just wait and see! Even if we win, they will definitely have the same supplies, but if we lose, we will have nothing!"
Duan Qingxi: ...I understand, you are just making things difficult for me!
Yun Ting asked in confusion, "Then the Lord also agrees?"
Ji Yichen was standing nearby. He said, "Your Majesty should be aware of their intentions, but he agreed to their request because he wanted to test our strength. If we can't even secure our own supplies, then even entering Yanhuo Mountain would be extremely dangerous. It would be better to take this opportunity to make us retreat, so as not to hurt our reputation."
It would be shameful if the Lord directly ordered that they were not allowed to participate in the Flame Realm Trial.
Yun Ting said "Oh" and said nothing more.
Jiu Sheng glanced at Rong Xu, then at Ji Yichen, and finally set his sights on Duan Qingxi.
Duan Qingxi saw it but pretended not to see it.
The dean explained everything clearly, but the question is, who should be sent out to participate in the competition?
Actually, they are the first batch of students of Tianhao College. Although there were students who came before, they left in less than half a month and their files were not prepared. Therefore, Duan Qingxi and his classmates can be considered the first batch of students in the true sense.
There has never been such an event before, and only about ten students are needed to participate in the competition. If the supplies are successfully obtained, only these ten people will participate in the Flame Realm Trial.
But there are more than 20 people in the academy. If only half of them go, the rest will have to stay in the academy. No matter who goes, it will be unfair to those who stay behind.
The dean and the three tutors discussed for a while, and finally Wen Yu slapped his thigh and decided that before that, their college would also have a competition, and the winner could go and participate.
This is also the fairest way, and it is also a good opportunity to see how strong they are.
As soon as this idea came out, everyone agreed.
The college competition was scheduled for three days later, so no one had the heart to attend classes for the next three days, and the instructors were also busy with other things, so they simply let the students practice on their own.
Rong Xu sat on the ground, holding a piece of dogtail grass he had picked from somewhere in his mouth. "I've been at the academy for half a month and have learned a lot. Although Instructor Wen Yu helped us practice for a few days, we haven't had any real combat experience. I don't know if we can successfully grab the supplies this time."
Ji Yichen sat in his wheelchair, his eyes lowered in thought. After hearing Rong Xu's words, he also spoke: "The four major colleges are deliberately trying to make things difficult for our college. They will definitely select the best and most powerful students in the college to fight us. When that happens... I'm afraid it will be even more troublesome."
Ye Ling also spoke up: "Rong Xu, Yun Ting, and Yi Chen... the three of you are definitely very powerful. Eleven will face the alchemists on their side when the time comes, but... the others will still be a little difficult."
Yun Ting said, "Don't underestimate yourself. After all, the academy has a competition. Whoever wins goes. If we really lose, it's because we don't have the ability. We can just wait until next year!"
Although it sounds a bit negative, it is indeed the truth.
