A Chance Encounter with a Terrifying New Student Team-One Against Three, a Triple Kill, Strong as Monsters, Impossible to Defeat Even at Full Strength!

Stepping through the silver gate, Xiao Yan felt a momentary daze before his feet touched solid ground. Looking ahead, he found the scene before him identical to the previous forest. However, at the forest entrance, two elderly men and several middle-aged men had appeared, along with about twenty young people. Xiao Yan's gaze swept over them, noticing that each wore a badge on their chest bearing a tower-like design.

"Hehe, Old Hu, you're as punctual as ever. I trust you with escorting the new students. How are the new students this year?"

At this moment, one of the two old men, seeing the large group of people entering, smiled and said to Hu Gan, who was leading the group.

"Very good, the overall level is better than last year. The top few probably already have the ability to challenge for the Strong Ranking List." Hu Gan smiled upon hearing this, and added, "I didn't expect it to be your turn to be on duty this year. Looks like you're in for a tough time."

"Haha, of course, of course."

Upon hearing this, the two simply smiled and waved their hands.

"You four, come here."

Hu Gan turned around and waved to Xiao Yan and the others. After they came to his side, he pointed to the two old men and said:

"These two are elders of the Inner Academy. This is Elder Su, and the other is Elder Qing. If you need anything in the Inner Academy, you can look for them. Hehe, these four little guys are the top five in this year's Selection Tournament. They're quite strong."

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, the two elders glanced at the four with slight surprise and asked in confusion, "At such a young age, to be able to achieve a top-five finish, your potential is indeed much better than the previous year. But how come there are only four of you in the top five? Isn't that little girl?"

As he spoke, his gaze fell upon Han Yue.

Han Yue didn't know what to say.

"Well, there was a slight mishap; one of the students went home."

Upon hearing this, Hu Gan coughed lightly and said somewhat guiltily.

That's not wrong. Anyway, the body has returned to the Soul Hall. Hun Li Li has confessed to killing him, but it's her own family matter, so there's nothing more to say.

Anyway, we can't afford to offend her, and that girl isn't a bad kid. We can just cover it up. That warning and all that is just for show. Do you really think we can just back down?

Although he was the Vice Dean, his abilities and connections were still far inferior to those of the dean.

"Okay, fine."

Seeing Hu Gan say this, the two elders nodded and stopped dwelling on the matter.

"Wow, what a beautiful girl! Looks like there are going to be four more people on the Inner Academy's beauty rankings."

Upon seeing the four beautiful girls, each with their own unique style, standing behind the middle-aged men Xiao Yan, the young people's eyes lit up, and they whistled and laughed.

"Shut up! Anyone who spouts another word will have five days of tower repair time deducted!"

Elder Su turned around and shouted, and the young people immediately stopped laughing. Clearly, the matter of deducting tower repair time made them extremely wary.

After silencing the group of young people, Elder Su turned to Xiao Yan and the other new students and said slowly:

"You're all new here, and I hope you can adapt to this place as much as possible. That way, you'll reap huge benefits. Look at these bastards. In previous years, although they passed the Outer Academy's Selection Tournament, they were only ranked at the bottom. But now, in just one year, I dare say that their strength is definitely in the top ten among you."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan was slightly taken aback. He turned his gaze to the young people and, after a brief look, realized that Elder Su's words were true. These young people were indeed quite strong. Although they were no match for him even when they worked together, they would have no difficulty dealing with the students other than his own team.

Considering that these people were only ranked low in previous years' Selection Tournament, yet they have made such a huge improvement now, it is enough to show how rapidly their strength has advanced since entering the Inner Academy.

Fire Energy, Qi Refining Tower, Fallen Heart Flame.

As he pondered those profound memories, a thoughtful look flickered in Xiao Yan's eyes.

It wasn't until Elder Su flicked his wrist, tossing out a handful of jet-black crystal chips that hovered in front of everyone, that Xiao Yan snapped out of his daze and reached out to grasp them in his hand.

Upon obtaining the chip, Xiao Yan immediately felt a strange heat emanating from it. He then looked down and examined it closely. On the chip, there was a transparent mirror with a large red character printed on it: "Five"!

Fire Crystal Card?

Looking at the chip in his hand, Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow. Just as he was about to put it back into his Storage Ring, he noticed that the group of young people standing behind the middle-aged man in front of him were staring at the black chip in their hands with undisguised covetousness in their eyes.

You want Fire Energy?

Hehehe, I want one too!

Xiao Yan smiled inwardly, then put the Fire Crystal Card into his Storage Ring.

"This is a complicated thing to explain, but you'll understand it in time. However, for now, you only need to know one thing: treat the chips in your hands as if they were your own lives. Once you enter the Inner Academy, you'll understand their importance to you! Of course, you might understand a little by looking at the eyes of these guys."

Finally, Elder Su pointed at the group of young people and laughed.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan turned to look at Hun Li Li, then at Xun'er and Xiao Yi Xian, and finally at Han Yue, before nodding slightly.

The meaning is clear: With me here, nothing unexpected will happen!

Although Hun Li Li was still a little weak, she still gave Xiao Yan a bright and cheerful smile.

Although her physical condition was slightly worse, her mood was better than ever before!

"Next, you need to enter the forest and successfully reach the Inner Academy at the end of the forest." Elder Su's finger was still on the group of young people as he said calmly, "While you are traversing this forest, be careful of them! According to the rules of the Inner Academy, they can attack you at will in this forest."

Remember, the number on the chip in your hand is incredibly tempting to them, so they will use any means other than murder to obtain the "Fire Energy" on your chip. You will understand the importance of Fire Energy later.

Now, your task is to avoid them or defeat them. As long as you don't get caught and successfully reach the Inner Academy, you will receive the final reward. The sooner you arrive, the richer the reward!

Having said that, Elder Su suddenly pointed to the forest behind him, and then continued:

"This is a trial before entering the Inner Academy, which we also call the 'Fire Energy Hunting Competition'!"

Now, I declare this year's "Fire Energy Hunting Competition" officially open! Students, let's begin our escape!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan gathered the four beautiful female team members together.

"I have a bold idea!"

Xiao Yan's lips curled into a smile.

"You want to turn around and rob those senior students?"

Hun Li Li naturally understood Xiao Yan and asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, both Xun'er and Han Yue were taken aback.

Turning around and robbing older students?

Is that even possible?

As locals, they naturally never expected that the two outsiders would act so unpredictably.

Xiao Yi Xian had heard Xiao Yan stories before, so she wasn't surprised by his choice; in fact, she was somewhat looking forward to it.

That Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower was said to have an extremely good effect on refining Dou Qi, which could accelerate the cultivation speed. If combined with his own Woe Poison Body, then the cultivation speed should be quite considerable.

"I do understand the importance of Fire Energy to some extent. Since Brother Xiao Yan is going to take it from them, Xun'er will naturally support Brother Xiao Yan!"

After Xun'er finished speaking, she smiled and explained the importance of Fire Energy to Han Yue.

After all, of the five people here, only Han Yue truly knew nothing about it.

"Well, if no one has any objections, then I'll take command of the team, and all profits will be split equally, how about that?"

Seeing that Han Yue also suddenly understood, Xiao Yan smiled and made a suggestion.

I have no objection.

Xiao Yi Xian shook her head; she blindly supported Xiao Yan in doing whatever he wanted.

"I might take advantage of the upperclassmen a little, since I'm in a situation where I can't make a move right now."

Hun Li Li said somewhat apologetically.

"It's alright. With your abilities, you'll thrive even after entering the Inner Academy. If I help you now, you'll help me in the future."

Xiao Yan waved his hand and said calmly.

"You trust me that much?"

Hearing this, Hun Li Li smiled even more happily.

It seems she really does like him now.

"Will I hold you back...?"

Han Yue looked somewhat embarrassed. Her usual aloof demeanor had faded considerably. Given her personality, it was rather awkward for her to take advantage of such a situation for free.

"It's alright. I'm not giving you Fire Energy for nothing. After we enter the Inner Academy, I'll need your help with some things. Don't worry about it, just follow me."

Xiao Yan said with a smile.

Han Yue felt relieved after hearing this, nodded, and said no more.

"Since no one has any objections, let's set off. I'd like to see how many of those Inner Academy students are actually capable of fighting."

Xiao Yan's lips curled into a smile as he spoke.

"Good!"

The four women nodded in unison and followed Xiao Yan into the forest.

Seeing Xiao Yan's commanding demeanor, both the freshmen and the seniors fell silent.

No, buddy, are you a succubus?

In the dense forest, scattered sunlight filters through the leaves, casting dappled patterns on the ground covered with fallen leaves, making the entire forest seem dreamlike.

The leaves trembled slightly, and several figures darted out from the branches. They then moved like nimble monkeys, touching the tree trunk and rushing forward again. But soon, the leading senior student suddenly stopped, looked around, and then jumped down from the tree with a relaxed expression.

"There shouldn't be anyone around here, let's rest for a while!"

The senior student in charge said with a smile.

"We're lucky! There are only six teams in total, and we've already secured two waves of freshmen!"

A teammate behind him also said with a smile.

"Yes, six days of Fire Energy, we've finally broken even!"

Another team member laughed along.

"However, the strength of this year's freshmen is indeed quite good; even Peak Dou Master can fight against Da Dou Shi."

The senior student leading the class showed a serious expression.

"I think it might be because we're dealing with top-ranked freshmen that things are so difficult."

One of the team members calmly analyzed the situation.

"Tsk, I heard that the top five this year are just as strong as us. We'd better be careful if we run into them!"

The last team member had a feeling that something terrible was about to happen and couldn't help but say something.

"Hehe, that's different. We all trained in the Inner Academy. What decent battles could these freshmen possibly have? Even if their levels are higher than ours, their combat strength might not be at the same level!"

The senior student in charge spoke with a rather arrogant tone.

The other four nodded in agreement. Indeed, they had undergone a complete transformation during their year in the Inner Academy!

"That's not necessarily true!"

As a loud laugh rang out, a gentle breeze swept by, and Xiao Yan, dressed in a student uniform, suddenly appeared fifty meters in front of the leading senior student.

Sensing the aura of Four-Star Da Dou Shi released by Xiao Yan, and seeing the formation of the four beautiful girls emerging from the surrounding woods, the young man leading the group immediately changed his expression!

We actually ran into these five people!

Looking at Xiao Yan's confident yet somewhat arrogant face, the five senior students couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Damn it, without the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower, how did this kid cultivate to Four-Star Da Dou Shi and even surpass them?

Even a junior who is only a Four-Star Da Dou Shi requires at least two people to deal with. The remaining four junior sisters are probably not weak either, probably at the Da Dou Shi level. Looking at it this way, the advantage is not mine!

"All five of them have just reached the Two-Star Da Dou Shi. Tsk, Junior Sister Yun Li and Junior Sister Han Yue, be on guard. Xun'er and Xiao Yi Xian, follow me and make your move. Let's finish this quickly."

Xiao Yan actually wanted to fight those five people one-on-one, but he still had to consider Xun'er and Xiao Yi Xian's feelings, and not let them feel that he was treating them like ornaments.

"Um."

Upon hearing this, Xun'er and Xiao Yi Xian trembled slightly, and their powerful Dou Qi surged forth.

At the same time, the five senior students on the open ground felt a chill run down their spines!

Judging from their aura alone, these two junior female students are actually much stronger than the leading Four-Star Da Dou Shi. They must be at least six-star, or even Seven-Star Da Dou Shi.

What kind of monsters are these freshmen?!

Realizing something was wrong, the senior student in charge waved his hand, but before he could utter the words he wanted to tell his companions to retreat, a dark figure suddenly appeared in front of him in a bizarre manner.

The old man was startled by Xiao Yan's speed, but his reaction was not to be outdone. Without the slightest hesitation, he swung his fist, which contained powerful Dou Qi, fiercely at Xiao Yan's head.

The moment the senior student threw a punch, Xiao Yan didn't dodge at all and threw a punch back as well!

The sharp energy actually caused a muffled sonic boom in the air, making it clear that Xiao Yan far surpassed the leading senior student in both speed and strength!

"This time, we've been caught off guard and lost our way."

Sensing the power contained in the oncoming fist, the leading senior student was suddenly filled with shock. He looked up and saw Xiao Yan's confident and gentle smile.

His relaxed demeanor made the leading senior student even more alarmed, and he involuntarily pushed his Dou Qi to its limit!

Two fists, each imbued with powerful and surging battle Dou Qi, collided with a deafening roar. A ripple of energy surged out from the point of contact, like a wave, instantly sending the withered leaves standing on the ground flying and scattering them everywhere.

"Pfft!"

With their fists clashing, the leading senior student finally truly felt just how terrifying the power of Xiao Yan's fist was!

The instant their fists collided, a numbing sensation spread from his arm upwards, and a terrifying force surged through his fist into his body, blasting him away. A mouthful of bright red blood spurted out, tracing a perfect parabola in mid-air.

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, the leading senior student took several steps back, a fierce look flashing across his face. His body trembled, and pale yellow Dou Qi surged out of his body, eventually forming a yellow Dou Qi Armor on his skin.

However, just as his Dou Qi Armor was taking shape, the leading senior student discovered that Xiao Yan had abandoned him and rushed towards another team member, punching him so hard that he was spitting blood and flying backward.

?

The senior student in the lead didn't understand what Xiao Yan was doing, but he knew he had to rush up and help!

However, the next moment, a scorching dark energy appeared in his body at some unknown time and exploded directly, shattering his earth-elemental Dou Qi Armor Dou Qi, which even Four-Star Da Dou Shi would find difficult to break through.

He also suffered internal injuries due to the explosion of his internal energy, and immediately spat out another mouthful of blood, collapsing to the ground, unable to get up again.

When Xiao Yan arrived in front of the third senior student, that senior student had already condensed Dou Qi Armor, and judging from the color, it seemed to be a water-type Dou Qi.

Meanwhile, the second senior student, after his Dou Qi Armor shattered, coughed up blood and lost his fighting ability.

Without time to say more, he immediately activated his strongest Lower Mystic Tier Dou Technique.

The next moment, Xiao Yan's palm erupted with an astonishing suction force, tearing the Dou Qi within his body into disarray. Immediately afterward, a completely opposite pushing force was released, causing the Dou Qi and blood within his body to vibrate violently and become difficult to calm down.

Just as he finally managed to suppress the shock of his internal Dou Qi and bloodline, he discovered that Xiao Yan's hand had landed lightly on his throat, and his Dou Qi Armor had already turned into rising water mist.

"Senior, I don't think I need to beat you until you vomit blood, do I?"

Xiao Yan's light, airy laughter, however, sounded like a thunderclap in his ears.

"No... no need, I give up!"

He was stiff all over, and said with a forced laugh.

The other senior students around him stared at Xiao Yan as if they had seen a ghost.

Because they had clearly seen that while their companion was stabilizing his internal Dou Qi, Xiao Yan used a terrifying blue flame to evaporate the Dou Qi Armor on their bodies into a sky full of water vapor, without harming them in the slightest!

What the hell is this monster?!
