Huh? Something Wasn't Right

"Set off!"

At Vice Principal Hu's command, Qian Ye and fifty students surged through the back door and entered the forest. (69shux. com)

Then, they temporarily formed a team.

Originally, Bai Shan wouldn't have stayed with Xiao Yan, but with Xiao Xun'er around, he had no choice but to temporarily put them together for her sake.

Xiao Yan glanced at the group before saying, "You all heard it just now. Our ten teams of freshmen are facing ten teams of senior students. If we don't want our Fire Energy to be stolen or for the senior students to hunt us down, we must unite. How about we form a team?"

Wu Hao, Hu Jia, Bai Shan, and the others looked at Mianmian, also feeling that there was no better solution.

They wanted to go it alone, but they lacked the ability, so they could only stick together for warmth.

"It's just one extra person. A team can only have five people, and we have six here, which doesn't meet the team requirements and will be punished by the academy," Wu Hao suddenly said.

Xiao Yan glanced at the group and realized it was indeed a problem, but he certainly didn't want to go alone, nor was he confident. He could only wait and see who among them would voluntarily withdraw.

"Fine, you five can team up, I won't interfere. You can go alone too." Qian Ye decisively withdrew.

He thought to himself, "I can easily defeat ten teams of veteran students by myself, why should I share the spoils with you guys?"

"Brother Qian Ye, I won't agree to this. If you're going to quit, let Xun'er quit, or let Xun'er stay with you, okay?"

Uh~

Hu Jia, Bai Shan, Xiao Yan, and the others all frowned and rolled their eyes at the sight. 💣☆ 🍩♤

Apart from Wu Hao, who had no interest in Xiao Xun'er, Hu Jia and the others each had their own thoughts, and naturally felt displeased to see Xiao Xun'er showing such concern for Qian Ye.

But despite their displeasure, no one dared to say anything. On one hand, they didn't want to make a fool of themselves, and on the other hand, they knew Qian Ye's strength—even Xiao Yan was no match for him. So, they could only keep their displeasure to themselves.

"Xun'er, listen to me, I'll be alright." Qian Ye patted Xiao Xun'er's head one last time, then vanished in a flash.

Xiao Yan and Bai Shan breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Qian Ye leave on his own.

After all, his departure made room for them; otherwise, it wouldn't have been Qian Ye who was eliminated, but any one of the five of them.

Moreover, Bai Shan and Wu Hao have the highest chance of being eliminated.

Then there's Hu Jia.

Hu Jia and Xiao Xun'er watched Qian Ye's departing figure, both feeling complicated.

After all, what the two of them least wanted was for Qian Ye to leave; even if they had to step down, they didn't want him to.

This is how the two of them feel at this moment.

Qian Ye left the group and went deep into the forest, a blade of grass dangling from his mouth as he walked forward.

Walking.

Walking...

Suddenly, several figures appeared beside me.

"Ahhhh..."

Then, after a few more shouts, five people rushed out and started hitting Qian Ye with their weapons.

It's been delivered right to my door!

Qian Ye smiled slightly and snapped his fingers.

Ahhh~

The five senior students immediately screamed in agony, their bodies crackling with electricity, and collapsed to the ground, convulsing, instantly knocked unconscious by the electric shock.

Qian Ye used lightning magic, which directly stunned the senior students who were lying in ambush there.

Then, smiling, he took out his own Fire Energy Card, took out the Fire Energy Card of the five senior students, and transferred all the Fire Energy in their cards to his own.

They then threw five senior students up into a big tree and hung them there, leaving no trace whatsoever.

With a smile, Qian Ye continued forward, "Next up is the second group of returning students. With me here, the new students will have a smooth journey. No one will stand in their way, and no returning students will try to steal their Fire Energy."

"Huh?"

"What's wrong, Wu Hao?"

"Hu Jia, don't you think something's wrong?"

What do you mean, Wu Hao?

"Didn't you hear what Vice Principal Hu said? There are ten teams of senior students in the forest trying to capture our ten teams of freshmen. But we've been deep in the forest for over an hour and haven't seen a single bird. Where did these teams of senior students come from? And ten of them? Your grandfather isn't lying to us, or just trying to scare us into forming teams, just to test our teamwork and inspire us to improve our Spiritual Power," Wu Hao guessed.

Hu Jia was also puzzled, and shook her head again. "I don't know! But it's impossible, right? I know Old Man Hu best. Although he usually seems a bit unreliable, he's generally a man of his word, especially when it comes to matters of the academy. He would never say a word carelessly."

Bai Shan glanced at Xiao Yan, then at Xiao Xun'er's retreating figure, a look of infatuation on his face. "Isn't this exactly what everyone wanted? Do you really want to face the senior students? Do you really think you can defeat them, gain the upper hand, and take their Fire Energy?"

"Bai Shan, what do you mean by this?" Hu Jia retorted directly, "You're also a member of our team. Even if you look down on your own abilities, don't look down on mine and everyone else's abilities!"

"I didn't say that, Hu Jia, don't try to argue with me, okay?" Bai Shan retorted unhappily.

"There is definitely a problem." Xiao Yan muttered to himself, but he couldn't figure out what the problem was.

After all, he knew absolutely nothing about the Inner Academy, and he didn't know whether it was true or false.

Xiao Xun'er didn't say anything, and continued walking forward behind the group, but in her heart she was thinking about Qian Ye alone, hoping that nothing would happen to him.

Qian Ye pressed forward, getting ahead of the ten new student teams. Wherever his Divine Sense reached, all the senior student teams were right in front of him, with nowhere to hide.

Then, remove it all the way through.

Before long, Qian Ye eliminated eight veteran teams.

Of the ten teams of returning students, eight were eliminated, leaving only the last two.

Qian Ye knew that, according to the original novel of Battle Through the Heavens, the last two teams were the Black Demon Team and the White Demon Team.

These two teams are composed of some of the most formidable senior students from the Inner Academy.

However, in Qian Ye's eyes, these two strongest teams were nothing more than child's play.

Boom~

When~

Immediately, two dark figures rushed up, moving with lightning speed. A large blade flew down, aiming for Qian Ye's neck. Although it was the back of the blade and wouldn't cut into the flesh, a single strike would still cause injury.

On the other side, the man in black focused his Dou Qi into his palm, and the Dou Qi rushed forward, unleashing a palm strike. The force exploded outwards, and if it were an ordinary person, they would have no chance to dodge the attack from the two of them.

But Qian Ye is different. With his strength, even though the two are fast and powerful, they are already full of flaws.

With a slight smile and a fleeting movement, he turned and caused the two to miss their target.

Qian Ye's movements were unpredictable, and the two of them couldn't handle him.

A blur of motion swept past the two men, causing fear to fill their eyes. They were quite frightened, realizing that their ambush had failed to hit him.

Looking at his movements, it's clear that he's far inferior to those rookie freshmen.

Qian Ye stepped aside, thinking to himself that if his guess was correct, these two men in black were members of the Black Demon Team, one of the last two teams among the ten teams of the senior students.

In other words, there are still three players who haven't made a move.
