Chapter 302: Just Started, It Ended!

"Forget it, don't talk nonsense. Although you passed the selection tournament and obtained the qualification to enter the inner academy, you still have one hurdle to pass." Su Elder raised his palm, and a large handful of black chips appeared in his hand. He threw them away, and these lenses seemed to have grown eyes, floating in front of everyone.

Xiao Yan took the lens and looked at it, and saw a red big character printed on it: "Five!"

"This thing is very troublesome to explain. You only need to know that this is the thing you need most after entering the inner academy. You must keep it well, because many people want to snatch it. You look at the eyes of the young people behind me, do they look like evil wolves?" Su Elder explained with a smile.

"This is the Fire Crystal Card? But it's just black, it's useless to me!" Xiao Yan put the Fire Crystal Card into the storage ring, looked at the young people behind Su Elder, and hooked his mouth into a cunning smile.

"Next, you have to pass through this forest to reach the inner academy. Remember, the young people behind me will also enter this forest. They will snatch your fire energy. You only need to avoid them or defeat them. In short, as long as you reach the inner academy smoothly, you will get generous rewards, and the sooner you arrive, the better." Su Elder explained again

"I now announce that this year's Fire Energy Hunting Competition has officially begun. Students, start your escape!"

No sooner had Elder Su finished speaking than Xiao Yan flashed into the crowd behind him. He wove through them rapidly, delivering one punch to each person, and in the blink of an eye, he had knocked everyone to the ground.

"You have already lost! Hand over the Fire Energy on your persons!" Xiao Yan looked at the students lying on the ground and said with a faint smile.

Silence!

It had just begun, yet it was already over? It had been terminated before it had even started.

"Is this person really a freshman of the academy? How can he be so formidable? Sha Tie is a peak Great Dou Master, and Luo Hou is even a Dou Ling expert. Even if this person were a Dou Wang, it would be impossible for him to knock them both into a state of helplessness with a single blow." The Inner Academy students, who were preparing to capture their prey, felt the world spinning and lay on the ground, doubting their lives.

What was going on? Elder Su and Elder Qing were stunned, their mouths hanging wide open. It had only just begun, and the sheep hadn't even been released yet! Yet all the wolves had been beaten and injured.

A deathly silence!

"I didn't see it clearly. This person only used one palm to injure me. The injury is neither light nor heavy, just enough to make me lose the ability to resist. How could such a monster appear among the academy freshmen? This seems even more formidable than that monster in the Inner Academy!" Luo Hou looked at Xiao Yan and said.

Several middle-aged men were also encountering such a situation for the first time and stood there dumbfounded.

The students behind Xiao Yan were not overly surprised, because they had long known Xiao Yan's strength. Although they were somewhat surprised by this situation, it was not unacceptable.

An Inner Academy student with a rather fierce appearance and dressed in black said to the fair-skinned youth in white beside him: "Luo Hou, did you see clearly how he made his move?"

"This person is indeed very similar to that one in the Inner Academy, possessing such freakish strength. Why is this year so unlucky? I wanted to get some Fire Energy, but I didn't expect that instead of stealing a chicken, I would lose the rice!" The black-clad youth sighed and said.

"Let's see what the Elders have to say first!" Luo Hou cast his gaze toward Elder Su and Elder Qing, as this was something that had never happened before.

"Elder Su, what should we do now? Are we really going to hand over the Fire Energy of these Inner Academy students to Xiao Yan?" Elder Qing frowned slightly, not knowing what to do.

"Rules are rules and cannot be broken. Since Xiao Yan has defeated these people, the Fire Energy on them naturally belongs to Xiao Yan. Let's consult the Great Elder afterward and see what he says!" Elder Su said after pondering for a long while.

"That's fine! Then should the students who came with Xiao Yan also pass?" Elder Qing continued to ask.

Elder Su turned his head to look at these freshmen, then looked at the Inner Academy students he had brought. His mouth twitched twice, and he shook his head helplessly, saying: "The wolves are all gone; besides letting them pass, what else can we do? Don't tell me you're going to go up and fight yourself!"

Upon hearing this, Elder Qing smiled awkwardly, knowing that the Fire Energy Hunting Competition could no longer continue.

"Now, I announce that the winners of this Fire Energy Hunting Competition are the freshmen. Every freshman present will receive twenty points of Fire Energy. Xiao Yan defeated all the captors single-handedly, so he receives a Purple Gold Card and an additional one thousand points of Fire Energy," Elder Su announced loudly.

Upon hearing this, the freshmen were naturally overjoyed. Although they did not yet know what this Fire Energy was for, seeing these seniors looking as if their fathers had died, they knew the importance of Fire Energy.

"This Xiao Yan has a Purple Gold Card as soon as he enters the Inner Academy, plus a reward of one thousand points of Fire Energy. Adding the Fire Energy on us, it's nearly four thousand points all at once. This Fire Energy is enough for him to cultivate in the Tianfen Lianqi Ta for a long time." The black-clad youth looked at Xiao Yan, feeling extremely envious.

"Sigh! To knock all of us into a state of losing our combat ability in one go—even Lin Xiuya cannot achieve this level of strength. And that 'Brute Force King,' although she could do it, it wouldn't be so easy!" Luo Hou sighed and said.

"Are you saying that even that monster 'Brute Force King' is no match for Xiao Yan? Doesn't that mean he has reached the Dou Huang level? But he is only about eighteen years old. How is this possible? Did he start cultivating in his mother's womb?" The black-clad youth looked at Xiao Yan and exclaimed in wonder.

"If he hadn't reached the Dou Huang level, how could he have knocked us down so easily!" Luo Hou said gloomily. We are all human, so why is the gap between people so large!

"Since you have passed the Fire Energy Hunting Competition, follow me to the Inner Academy!" Elder Su only wanted to settle these freshmen down and then go report to the Great Elder.

Xiao Yan and the others followed Elder Su through the forest, along the gravel stairs, and across a hillside, arriving in a huge sunken basin.

"Is this the Inner Academy?" Xiao Yan looked at the rows of tall buildings in the basin, a smile curling the corner of his mouth.

After Xiao Yan and the four others entered the Inner Academy with Elder Su, they arrived at a small pavilion.

After Elder Su slowly pushed the door open, he turned to the five of them and said: "From now on, your residence will be here!"

"Elder Su, are you asking us three girls to live together with these two boys?" Hu Jia asked with some astonishment.

"Hehe, the pavilion is so big with so many rooms, can't you just choose the rooms you like? I didn't tell you to live in the same room! Besides, you will be companions from now on, so you must learn to help each other!" Elder Su laughed dumbfoundedly.

"If you don't want to live together, go live outside!" Xiao Yan rolled his eyes and said.

"Hmph! I won't! I'm just going to live with Xun Er. Let's see what you can do about it!" Hu Jia snorted lightly and threatened.

"Hehe, you can try it! I guarantee I won't beat you to death!" Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes, his fists cracking loudly, and said with a cold laugh.
