Xiao Yan directly crushed that pair of senior students with sheer strength. A mere three-star Da Dou Shi could not even last three exchanges against the current Xiao Yan.
The rest went without saying. Xiao Yan dealt with them all in less than five minutes.
The senior students reluctantly took out all the Fire Energy Cards from their pockets.
The three-star Da Dou Shi held a blue Fire Energy Card. After collecting the Fire Energy from the entire group of senior students,
the amount on Xiao Yan's card rose to over fifty, yet Xiao Yan still felt that this group of senior students was quite poor.
The leader of the senior students, his face bruised and swollen, said, "Big brother, could you leave us some Fire Energy? We'll still need it when we go back."
After returning their cards, Xiao Yan smiled and said, "You have hands and feet. Can't you earn more when you go back? Besides, I took these from you. Why should I return them?"
After saying that, Xiao Yan let them leave, and Xun Er also hopped out from the side.
"Brother Xiao Yan, you were so amazing just now," Xun Er said with a face full of admiration.
Xiao Yan casually tossed his card to Xun Er and said with a smile, "From now on, I'll leave my things in your care."
Xun Er's face immediately flushed red, but her hand gripped the card tightly and refused to let go.
Han Yue led more than a dozen girls toward the edge of the forest. Since they did not know the way, they moved very slowly.
Moreover, most of the girls were not very strong. Other than Han Yue, only one of them was a Da Dou Shi.
Han Yue truly could not suppress the opinions of all the girls. They unanimously demanded that they rest for a while before continuing.
Han Yue had no choice but to agree, but with so many of them together, they would certainly attract senior students.
Sure enough, before they had even properly sat down, five figures were already watching them from the trees.
Han Yue nervously looked toward the people in the trees. The leader of the senior students was a five-star Da Dou Shi, and Han Yue could barely match him.
The other four were also two- to three-star Da Dou Shi. This put Han Yue in a very difficult position.
As the girls below noticed them,
the leader of the senior students saw no need to keep pretending and jumped down directly.
"I didn't expect this batch to have so many pretty junior sisters. Once you reach the Inner Academy, I'm afraid all of you will be highly sought after," the leader said with a smile.
Han Yue drew her sword and pointed it at him. All the girls stood up, and the two sides faced off like that.
"Seeing how pretty you all are, as long as you hand over the Fire Energy Cards in your hands, I guarantee that nothing will happen to you," the leader began trying to persuade them.
However, Han Yue remained clear-headed. She retorted, "These Fire Energy Cards must be very important in the Inner Academy, right? Your purpose in stopping us from the beginning was to take these cards!"
Seeing that he could not hide it any longer, the senior student simply said, "Fine. Don't worry about whether we're taking them by force or asking for them. If you refuse to hand them over, then we'll have to use another method."
Some of the girls present stood firmly behind Han Yue, staring intently at the senior students. The others wavered somewhat, because they were already very weak.
Against senior students this strong, they had no room to choose at all.
Han Yue hurriedly said, "Don't worry, everyone. There should be other new students nearby. As long as we stick together, they won't dare rob us by force."
However, her words did not have much effect on the girls. Han Yue herself did not really know what to do either.
The leader of the senior students said with a smile, "Originally, we didn't want to hit women, but since you refuse to cooperate, there's nothing we can do."
The five senior students attacked together, and Han Yue's side immediately descended into chaos.
Meanwhile, both the group led by Yao Sheng and the group led by Bai Cheng had encountered senior students. However, because their overall strength was not too weak,
they had each escaped danger without suffering much of a loss.
When the two groups met, they immediately began mocking each other.
Looking at Yao Sheng's bedraggled state, Bai Cheng said with a smile, "Yao Sheng, if you really can't hold on, why not join my side? If the two of us cooperate, the senior students here won't be able to do anything to us."
Yao Sheng said directly, "If you're willing to give me all your Fire Energy, I can consider letting you follow me."
Bai Cheng's expression changed, and he spat on the ground. Then he cursed, "You really don't know what's good for you. Since that's the case, fend for yourself."
Just as the two parted on bad terms and prepared to go their separate ways, a burst of laughter rang out from the sky.
Five figures dressed in black stood in the trees.
They were the Black Fiend Team of the Black and White Fiends. The Black Fiend Team's captain, Qin Zhen, was looking at them with an amused expression.
Bai Cheng inwardly cursed. This Qin Zhen was an expert on the Strong Ranking.
He was probably already a Dou Ling. Even if Bai Cheng, a five-star Da Dou Shi, and Yao Sheng, a six-star Da Dou Shi, joined forces, they would not be enough for Qin Zhen alone.
The remaining four members of the Black Fiend Team were also mostly five- or six-star Da Dou Shi. This made Bai Cheng feel enormous pressure.
However, Yao Sheng looked ingratiatingly at Qin Zhen and said with a smile, "Brother, my big brother is Liu Qing of the Inner Academy. Please give him some face and let me off."
Bai Cheng felt like cursing his mother. So this guy was relying on connections. What a shameless bastard.
But Qin Zhen said, "Liu Qing, huh? I happen to have a grudge against him, and you still dare mention his name. You've fallen right into my hands today. Get them!"
Bai Cheng sneered, "You don't even know who you're dealing with, yet you're putting on airs? They came for you. It has nothing to do with me."
Yao Sheng had not expected his backer to be useless. Giving up, he said, "The one beside me is my good brother, Bai Cheng. Remember his great name. If you don't beat him to death today, you'll regret it once you reach the Inner Academy."
Qin Zhen frowned and said indifferently, "Beat them all. Don't let a single one go. When you're done, collect all their Fire Energy."
Bai Cheng nearly wept. In his heart, he had cursed Yao Sheng tens of thousands of times.
But they had no choice but to fight the Black Fiend Team. Although they had greater numbers, those Dou Shi had practically no fighting strength against five- and six-star Da Dou Shi.
With Qin Zhen joining the fight, they quickly fell into a disadvantage. They could only barely hold on by relying on their numerical advantage.
Just as Han Yue's side and the Black Fiend Team's side were both locked in fierce battle,
Xiao Yan and Xun Er also appeared nearby.
"Brother Xiao Yan, should we help them?" Xun Er asked Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan did not know what to do either. He certainly would not help Bai Cheng and Yao Sheng. But if he helped Han Yue, he was not very familiar with her, and he was afraid Xun Er would get jealous.
So Xiao Yan said, "Forget it. Let's help no one. We've gathered quite a bit of Fire Energy during this time, so it should be about enough. Let's leave now."
Xun Er nodded and replied, "I'll do whatever Brother Xiao Yan says."
