What can I do? Only be done!

As Fang Bai and the others waited, Director Liu finally appeared.

He had replaced his broken glasses and put on a suit, looking respectable once more.

Why did they call him a dog?

In the eyes of Fang Bai and the others, Director Liu was too unreliable.

"Hm? What are those looks for?"

Director Liu looked at them, confused.

Fang Bai asked, "Director, I heard from Senior Zhang that the Martial Academy has arranged a welcome ceremony for us? Is that true?"

Director Liu was taken aback, then said, "A welcome ceremony... it can be considered one. Prepare yourselves and come with me."

Qi Tian asked doubtfully, "Isn't it a welcome ceremony? Why is no one at the entrance? Aren't they even setting off firecrackers?"

Director Liu's expression remained unchanged. "Ahem! Well, the customs of our Martial Academy are certainly not the same as ordinary institutions."

"Let's go, you still have a lot to do."

Fang Bai and the others exchanged glances, feeling that something was off.

Xiao Yuan was the most excited at this moment, his eyes shining as he looked at the plaque.

Was this the place where he would study in the future?

Dad said that only children who study have a future. When he becomes successful, he'll build a house for Dad!

And then buy a pretty dress for Cuihua from the village!

"Hehe."

Thinking of this, Xiao Yuan chuckled foolishly.

"? Xiao Yuan, what are you spacing out for? Hurry up and follow!"

Fang Bai looked back at him and called out.

"Oh, okay!"

Xiao Yuan scratched his head and quickly followed.

Meanwhile, in a corner of a coffee shop not far away, a man in coarse linen was watching this scene.

He had an ordinary appearance, but his every move exuded a noble aura.

"Interesting, new recruits at the Martial Academy again?"

The man in coarse linen took a sip of his coffee, a devilishly charming smile forming on his lips. "It seems those brats have something to do."

He stood up and walked elegantly towards the door.

"Sir, please wait!"

A server quickly called out to him.

The man in coarse linen paused, then turned to the server, a gentlemanly smile on his face. "Yes?"

The server maintained a professional smile. "Sir, you haven't paid yet. It's 128 yuan. Will that be cash or card?"

The man's smile faltered slightly, and he looked confused. "Huh? I haven't paid yet?"

The server chuckled awkwardly. "Yes, sir."

This gentleman not only had unique taste but also a poor memory!

This burlap outfit that looked like a beggar's must be from Balenciaga, right? Only nobles had such aesthetic sense.

The man in coarse linen's expression was calm. He then reached into his pocket, apologizing, "Sorry, my memory isn't very good."

The server smiled faintly. "It's alright."

The man rummaged in his pocket, then suddenly looked with surprise behind the server. "Oh! Old Wang, what are you doing here?"

The server instinctively looked back. There was nothing but air. He immediately turned back, but the man in coarse linen was nowhere to be found. "I have an early class! Is it worth it for over a hundred yuan?"

"Hello! Is this the police station..."

A hundred meters away, the man in coarse linen emerged from the shadow of a wall, letting out a sigh of relief.

"Damn it! I'm a Bishop of the Red Robe Cult! To think I'd have to resort to dine-and-dash just for coffee!"

"If it weren't for those old guys chasing me, would I be living such a miserable life?"

He muttered, and his stomach suddenly rumbled.

His expression changed, and his gaze fell upon a steamed bun stall not far away...

After entering the gate of the Martial Academy, Fang Bai and the others looked around with curiosity. The scene inside wasn't much different from their school.

Director Liu said as he walked, "Take a good look now and familiarize yourselves with the Martial Academy's environment."

Soon, they arrived at an open space. The area for a hundred meters around was dirt and grass. The ground was uneven and pitted, as if it had endured a lot of damage.

And besides them, there was no one else.

"Seriously, where's the welcome ceremony?"

Qi Tian looked around, asking in confusion.

Director Liu glanced at them, a mysterious smile appearing on his face. "Don't rush, it'll be here soon."

About two minutes later, a group of young faces appeared in Fang Bai and the others' field of vision. They were about the same age as Fang Bai, but each had a different aura. There were about twenty to thirty of them, walking towards them in a scattered manner.

"See! Here they come!"

Director Liu's smile widened, and he grinned. "Right, I forgot to tell you, your assessment in the异空间 was postponed due to the Beast Tide, so the latter half of the assessment still needs to continue."

Fang Bai looked at him, dumbfounded. "What? Didn't you say we already passed the assessment?"

Director Liu shrugged. "Oh, what I say doesn't count. The Dean has to approve it."

He glanced at Qi Tian and said slowly, "Dean Qi ordered that your lives be made a little more difficult."

Fang Bai and the others' expressions immediately became interesting.

"Then what's this assessment you're talking about..."

Director Liu pointed at the crowd that had already walked to within twenty meters of them. "Beat them down, and you'll advance. If you get beaten down, you'll have to scram."

"Are you f*cking kidding me? Wasn't this supposed to be a welcome ceremony? What kind of welcome is this?"

Qi Tian cursed loudly.

Director Liu's smile was playful. "I told you, the Martial Academy's customs are a bit different. Isn't this quite a grand reception?"

"They are all first-year students. Some have reached the first tier, and some haven't. But don't underestimate them. Those who can enter the Martial Academy are no simple folk."

"So, good luck!"

After Director Liu finished speaking, he disappeared from his spot.

At the same time, the group had already reached within ten meters of them.

Pairs of unfriendly eyes stared at them, eager to make a move.

Fang Bai and the others' eyes sharpened. At this moment, their spirits began to tighten again.

After their encounter in the 异空间, they were no longer the naive youths they once were.

Qi Tian suddenly spoke up, "Everyone, listen to me for a moment. We're all classmates..."

One of them suddenly interrupted, "Brothers! If we beat them, we can advance. There are only four spots, so let's kill them!"

Instantly, twenty to thirty people charged towards Fang Bai and the others!

Fang Bai said in a deep voice, "Xiao Yuan, frontal assault! A Xiu, sneak attack, Old Qi, support, let's go!"

As the words fell, the four of them moved at the same time!

Meanwhile, under the root of a tree not far away, stood two middle-aged men.

One of them was naturally Director Liu. The person beside him was also wearing a suit and looked somewhat similar to Qi Tian.

It was Qi Tian's second uncle, Qi Baichuan.

Others preferred to call him Dean Qi.

Yes, the deputy.

"Isn't this a bit too cruel for them?"

Director Liu asked worriedly.

Dean Qi said calmly, "If they can't even win against this group of kids, what will they do in the second year? They'll just get beaten!"

Director Liu: "..."
