Four against more than twenty people their own age!
The scene descended into chaos. In the very first exchange, Xiao Yuan used his size advantage to send several people flying; even the lightly injured ones had a few ribs broken!
One had to know that Xiao Yuan's ability enhanced his own body. Among those of the same rank, who would dare challenge him one-on-one?
A Xiu moved like a phantom. Using her spatial ability to strike her opponents, she could break through their defenses with every hit!
After tossing out a flashbang, Qi Tian charged straight into hand-to-hand combat!
A skill like the Eight-Part Light Wheel could only be used when fighting for one's life. He couldn't deal lethal blows here.
A second-rank physique was vastly stronger than a first-rank one, so Qi Tian went mad as he tangled up with them in a brawl!
Meanwhile, Fang Bai used a darkness-element skill to slip into his opponents' shadows. He appeared without warning and directly unleashed Lightning Domain, maxing out the area damage!
Before long, the four of them were chasing more than twenty people down and beating them!
The gap between them was anything but small. After all, Fang Bai and the others had just returned from an alternate space and had already walked through life and death!
"Don't retreat! No matter how strong they are, their Exotic Energy will eventually run out. Hold them down!"
"Hey! Gang up on one of them first! Get that long-haired bastard—I don't like the look of him!"
"Ouch! Don't—don't hit people in the face!"
"..."
Screams rose and fell one after another.
All kinds of abilities were unleashed across the field, making for a spectacular sight.
But the outcome had apparently been decided long ago!
In less than half an hour, that group of first-year students was sprawled across the ground, groaning and wailing.
Many students had already gathered in the distance to watch. They looked over with amused expressions, as though they were watching a show.
"Those first-year rookies are still this weak?"
"Not exactly. Those four newcomers have some skills."
"Judging by their moves, they're no harmless bunch either. They've probably seen real combat."
"Ha! Aren't they just a few first-rank newcomers? What's there to panic about? It's perfect that they came—Hu Laosan can finally shake off the title of dead last!"
"That long-haired guy seems to be the highest rank, and he's a dual-element warrior. Oh, besides him, there's another one too. Two dual-element warriors appearing at once—interesting."
"I'm more interested in that girl. A Space Element user! Our team happens to be short one."
"I think that big guy is the best fighter..."
"..."
The upperclassmen chatted among themselves, clearly treating this battle like a child's game.
Not far away, a young man and woman stood together.
The young man watched the scene with interest. He glanced at the girl beside him and asked with a smile, "Gu Qing, what do you think of them?"
The girl looked calm. She glanced at the four standing there and said coolly, "Among the first-years, they're barely passable. Among the second-years, they're too green."
The young man smiled. "They're actually not bad. After all, not everyone is like you and me. And all of them are quite talented. Give them some time, and they'll probably stir up quite a storm."
The girl said evenly, "The martial academy never lacks geniuses."
The young man chuckled. "True enough. Forget it, it has nothing to do with us. I'm planning to explore some alternate spaces next week. Interested?"
The girl thought for a moment. "Doing missions?"
The young man replied, "No. I'm about to break through recently, so I'm going to look for resources needed for the breakthrough. Once I do, I'll apply for the third-year assessment."
The girl nodded. "I'll go with you."
A flash of delight appeared in the young man's eyes. "Good, good! I'll come find you then!"
After making sure no one could get back up, Fang Bai and the other three finally let out a breath.
They weren't in great shape either. Every one of them had injuries of varying severity, with several broken ribs.
Those guys had been far too ruthless. They had practically been beating them to death!
"Fuck! Who else wants some?! If you're not convinced, come at us!"
Qi Tian glared at them with a savage expression. "Which dumbass just called me long-haired?! Get up and take two steps!"
Everyone: "..."
Fang Bai looked at the crowd. It had to be said that even though their side was stronger, they couldn't withstand the sheer number of opponents!
Some of their abilities also suppressed Fang Bai's group, which was why the battle had been so difficult.
Fang Bai felt that if he hadn't awakened the darkness element, he would probably have been the one beaten the worst.
At that moment, a middle-aged man appeared in the field. He looked over everyone, then clicked his tongue and shook his head. "Your performance wasn't very good. Looks like you've been living too comfortably lately."
At those words, the students lying on the ground trembled, terror appearing on their faces.
It was as though they had already foreseen the punishment waiting for them.
The middle-aged man turned toward Fang Bai's group, about to speak.
Then a figure darted out and pointed at his nose, cursing, "Qi Baichuan! You did this on purpose to target me, didn't you?!"
Everyone froze. They hadn't expected this newcomer to dare point at their dean and curse him.
For a moment, everyone looked at Qi Tian with pity in their eyes.
Fang Bai covered his eyes as well, not daring to watch.
Sure enough, Dean Qi looked at his nephew and revealed a strange smile. The next second, he waved a hand, and a mysterious force lashed directly across Qi Tian's body.
Qi Tian immediately sucked in a cold breath from the pain, his face twisting out of shape!
"You..."
"What did you call me?"
Dean Qi asked with a smile.
When Qi Tian met his second uncle's gaze, he inexplicably felt guilty. He promptly surrendered. "Second Uncle~"
Qi Tian received another lash!
He bared his teeth in pain and said in disbelief, "Holy shit! What did I do wrong this time?"
Dean Qi said blandly, "There is no second uncle of yours here. Call me Dean."
Qi Tian was about to speak.
"Hm?"
Dean Qi looked at him threateningly.
"...Dean."
Dean Qi smiled in satisfaction, then nodded slightly. "You went out for a trip and didn't learn much, but you did pick up your parents' habit of constantly bringing them up."
Qi Tian's mouth twitched.
Dean Qi looked toward Fang Bai and the others, smiling faintly. "Congratulations. You have passed the assessment. Welcome to the martial academy's second-year class."
Fang Bai asked excitedly, "Dean, do we get any rewards for passing the assessment?"
Dean Qi thought for a moment, then looked at him. "Yes. Since you defeated this group, each of you will receive fifty points. Go to the personnel office to collect them later."
Fifty points!
Fang Bai's eyes lit up.
He hadn't expected to earn points the moment he arrived. He was truly lucky!
"If I remember correctly, your name is Fang Bai?"
Dean Qi looked at Fang Bai and suddenly asked.
Fang Bai nodded, somewhat curious. "Dean, have you heard my story?"
Dean Qi smiled. "I know your parents' story!"
Fang Bai was stunned, then hurriedly asked, "You've seen them? Are they doing well?"
He hadn't seen his parents for two years!
Dean Qi nodded. "They're doing very well. They are protecting humanity and are worthy heroes."
Originally, the martial academy would not have accepted Fang Bai with his talent. But because his parents were war generals who had rendered great service to humanity, the academy had made an exception. Still, he had not expected this boy to give him such a pleasant surprise later on.
He had actually grown so quickly and awakened two elements.
He was a good prospect.
Fang Bai was somewhat excited. Dean Qi's words had revealed that his parents were safe and well, putting his mind at ease.
"You've passed the assessment. From now on, you are official students of the martial academy. Someone will take you to your accommodations later. The academy is huge, and the dormitories are single rooms, but you'll need to pay lodging fees."
Dean Qi said with a smiling expression.
"Huh?"
Fang Bai and the others were shocked. They even had to pay lodging fees?
"How much? I'll cover three years at once!"
Qi Tian waved a hand grandly.
Dean Qi said expressionlessly, "One thousand points per year!"
Qi Tian: "???"
Fang Bai and the others were stunned as well.
Even the lodging fees were this expensive?
What kind of value did these points have in the martial academy?
Dean Qi chuckled. "It is indeed somewhat expensive, but I believe you'll earn them. There are many missions in the academy. When you have time, you can take missions to earn points."
"Oh, right. Besides lodging fees, you'll also have to pay for your own meals."
Everyone: "..."
