What Can They Do? Only Get Done!

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

He had replaced his shattered glasses and changed into a suit, once again looking vaguely human.

Why call him a dog?

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

"Hm? What kind of looks are those?"

Director Liu looked at them in confusion.

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

Director Liu froze for a moment, then said, "A welcome ceremony... you could say that. Get ready and come in with me."

Qi Tian asked doubtfully, "Wasn't it supposed to be a welcome ceremony? Why is there no one at the entrance? Not even any firecrackers?"

Without changing expression, Director Liu said, "Ahem! Well, the customs of our Martial Academy obviously can't be the same as those of ordinary schools."

"Come on. You still have plenty to do."

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

Xiao Yuan, however, was the most excited of them all. His eyes gleamed as he looked at the plaque.

Was this the place where he would study from now on?

Dad had said that only children who studied would have a future. Once he made something of himself, he would build Dad a house!

Then he would buy pretty dresses for Cuihua at the village entrance to wear!

"Hehe."

Thinking of that, Xiao Yuan broke into a silly grin.

"? Xiao Yuan, what are you standing around for? Hurry up and catch up!"

Fang Bai glanced back at him and called out.

"Oh, oh!"

Xiao Yuan scratched his head and hurriedly followed.

At the same time, in a corner of a café not far away, a man in burlap clothes watched the scene.

He looked utterly ordinary, yet every gesture carried a hint of aristocratic poise.

"Interesting. Has the Martial Academy gotten new recruits again?"

The man in burlap took a light sip of coffee, the corner of his mouth curving into a wicked smile. "Looks like those brats have work to do."

He rose to his feet and walked elegantly toward the door.

"Sir, please wait!"

A waiter hurriedly called after him.

The man in burlap paused, then turned to look at him with a gentlemanly smile. "Is something the matter?"

Keeping up his professional smile, the waiter said, "Sir, you haven't paid yet. The total is 128 yuan. Will you be paying cash or card?"

The man's smile stiffened slightly. He then asked in confusion, "Eh? I haven't paid?"

The waiter smiled awkwardly. "That's right, sir."

This gentleman not only had unique taste, but his memory was rather poor too!

Those burlap clothes that made him look like a vagrant had to be Balenciaga, right? Only this sort of aristocrat could have such aesthetics.

The man in burlap remained calm as he reached into his pocket and apologized, "Sorry, my memory isn't very good."

The waiter smiled faintly. "That's all right."

The man rummaged around in his trouser pocket, then suddenly looked past the waiter in surprise. "Oh! Old Wang, what are you doing here?"

The waiter instinctively turned around. There was nothing behind him but air. He immediately turned back, but the man in burlap was nowhere to be seen. "I'm on the early shift! Was over a hundred yuan really worth running over?"

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

A hundred meters away, the man in burlap emerged from the shadow beneath a wall and let out a breath.

"Damn it! I'm a bishop of the Red Robe Cult, yet I have to skip out on coffee bills!"

"If those old bastards weren't hunting me down, would I have to live this miserably?"

As he muttered, his stomach suddenly growled.

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

After entering the gates of the Martial Academy, Fang Bai and the others looked around curiously. The scene inside was not all that different from their school.

As they walked, Director Liu said, "Take a good look around while you can. Familiarize yourselves with the Martial Academy."

Before long, they arrived at an open field. Within a hundred meters of the place, there was nothing but dirt and grass. The flat ground was pitted with holes, as if it had suffered no small amount of devastation.

And aside from them, there was no one else.

"Wait, where's the welcome ceremony?"

Qi Tian looked around and asked in puzzlement.

Director Liu glanced at them, revealing a mysterious smile. "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, though each had a different bearing. There were roughly twenty or thirty of them, strolling over in a scattered formation.

"There, aren't they here now?"

Director Liu's smile widened as he grinned. "Oh, right, I forgot to tell you. Your assessment in the alternate space was forcibly suspended because of the Beast Tide, so the latter half of the assessment still needs to be completed."

Fang Bai stared at him blankly. "What? Didn't you say we'd already passed the assessment?"

Director Liu shrugged. "Oh, I don't get to decide that. The dean has to approve it."

He glanced at Qi Tian and said faintly, "Dean Qi instructed me to add a tiny bit of difficulty to your lives."

The expressions on Fang Bai and the others' faces instantly became colorful.

"Then the assessment you mentioned is..."

Director Liu pointed at the crowd that had already come within twenty meters of them and said, "Knock them down, and you advance. Get knocked down yourselves, and you can get lost."

"What the fuck? Are you kidding me? Wasn't this supposed to be a welcome ceremony? This is how you welcome people?"

Qi Tian cursed loudly.

Director Liu smiled playfully. "I told you, the Martial Academy's customs are a little different. Isn't this grand enough?"

"They're all first-year students. Some have reached Tier One, while some haven't, but don't underestimate them. Anyone who can enter the Martial Academy is no simple matter."

"So, good luck!"

As soon as Director Liu finished speaking, he vanished from where he stood.

At the same time, the group had already reached a point ten meters in front of them.

Pairs of hostile eyes fixed on them, eager to make a move.

Fang Bai and the others' gazes sharpened. At that moment, their nerves tightened once more.

After what they had experienced in the alternate space, they were no longer the ignorant youths they had once been.

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

One of them suddenly cut him off. "Brothers! If we beat them, we advance! There are only four spots—fuck them up!"

In an instant, twenty or thirty people charged straight at Fang Bai and the others!

Fang Bai said in a low voice, "Xiao Yuan, hit them head-on! A Xiu, sneak attack! Old Qi, support us! Get them!"

The moment his words fell, all four moved at once!

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

One was naturally Director Liu. The man beside him was also dressed in a suit, and he actually looked somewhat like Qi Tian.

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

Everyone liked to call him Dean Qi.

Well, vice dean.

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

Director Liu asked worriedly.

Dean Qi said blandly, "If they can't even beat this bunch of little brats, what can they do when they get to the second year? Only get done!"

Director Liu: "..."

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you won't lose it next time.
