Fire Energy Hunting Competition Begins

Qin Yu couldn't help but laugh when he saw her guilty yet stubborn expression.

"What, you were so bold when you were making decisions for me, but now you're scared?"

"I'm just... afraid you'll have some thoughts about it."

"The idea is indeed there."

Qin Yu reached out and pinched her cheek.

"Next time something like this happens, let me know in advance, and maybe I'll have made arrangements."

"Real?"

Xiao Yi Xian raised her head, her eyes brightening for a moment, but she quickly realized something was wrong.

If something like this happens again, how many more does Qin Yu want to provoke?

"Real."

Qin Yu nodded, but Xiao Yi Xian fell into deep thought.

The two sat at the door for a while longer, when they heard Xiao Yu getting up from inside the room.

"I'm going to see Sister Xiao Yu."

"Um."

Three days later, when Qin Yu arrived at the meeting point for the Inner Academy, he was in high spirits and full of energy.

"What have you been up to these past three days? You seem much more energetic than before?"

Lin Xiuyan walked over and joked.

"Cultivation."

Qin Yu spouted nonsense without batting an eye, just as Han Yue happened to walk by and overheard him, letting out a cold snort.

"I could smell your fragrance from three zhang away, and there was more than one scent on you."

Hehe, finally found a chance to settle the "grudge" from a few days ago!

Upon hearing this, the others nearby all revealed subtle smiles.

"Hey, senior, why are you still holding a grudge?"

I only complained about her a few days ago when I received the award, why is she still holding a grudge?

Besides, it was Han Yue who spoke first; we were just playfully teasing each other.

A wicked smile of triumph flashed across Han Yue's pretty face before she strode away.

When the teacher arrived, the Griffin Beast took off, and Qin Yu and Xiao Yi Xian sat together, stretching vigorously.

Xiao Yi Xian watched him stretch, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

"Judging from your appearance, did you overdo it with Sister Xiao Yu last night and are you feeling a bit exhausted?"

Qin Yu turned his head and looked at her, his eyes as calm as a stagnant pool.

"Say it again?"

Xiao Yi Xian felt a little uneasy under his gaze, but she still forced herself to stay calm.

"I'm asking you, are you unable to perform...?"

Before she could finish speaking, Qin Yu's hand had already reached out and gently pinched her waist.

Xiao Yi Xian's body tensed instantly, and her face flushed red.

"If you dare to question this again, once you enter the Inner Academy, I'll make sure you're bedridden for a week."

Qin Yu's voice wasn't loud; only the two of them could hear it.

Xiao Yi Xian's ears turned as red as if they were about to bleed. She lowered her head and dared not speak again, muttering under her breath:

"Rogue..."

Qin Yu withdrew his hand, leaned back in his chair, and smiled slightly.

Just kidding, as a Golden Kidney Warrior, how could I possibly be so easily overwhelmed?

only...

For some unknown reason, Xiao Yu, who had just broken through to the Battle Master, was even more sturdy than Xiao Yi Xian, who was at the Da Dou Shi realm, and could keep him company until the early hours of the morning.

Moreover, Xiao Yu was exceptionally enthusiastic last night, pulling him to learn a lot of new knowledge and making him deeply understand what it means for women to be made of water.

Qin Yu took four showers in three days.

The Griffin Beast flew for about an hour, then suddenly began to descend.

"Arrive?"

Some trainees peered down, but all they saw was a dense forest, with no trace of any buildings.

The Griffin Beast landed in an open area.

"Everyone, assemble!"

The leader, Hu Gan, waved to the students, who then jumped off their Griffin Beast and lined up in several rows on the open ground.

"Teacher? Is the Inner Academy nearby?"

One of the students in the group spoke up and asked a question.

"Heh, getting into the Inner Academy isn't so easy."

With a wave of his hand, Hu Gan caused ripples to spread across the space not far in front of them, and a large door appeared out of thin air in front of them.

The students followed Hu Gan through the gate, and behind it was still a forest, seemingly no different from before.

But a group of people were waiting for them there.

"Hu Gan, you're right on time."

"Old Su, Old Qing, it's you two again."

The two elders leading the group approached Hu Gan, glanced at the new students with smiles, and then secretly asked using their Dou Qi qi to transmit their voices:

"Hey, which one is Qin Yu?"

Although Qin Yu has not yet arrived at the Inner Academy, his name is already well-known among the many elders Inner Academy.

Hu Gan glanced at Qin Yu, and the two old men also turned their gazes towards him at the same time.

"Looks promising. Those guys in the Inner Academy are going to be tough this time."

"Alright, let's get started."

Hu Gan abruptly ended the casual conversation and handed each of the new students a pitch-black chip.

One for each person, take it.

Qin Yu took the card, and a surge of heat immediately seeped out from it, revealing the number five on the card.

"What's this?"

One of the students asked in a low voice.

"Ahem, this is a bit complicated to explain. Anyway, keep a close eye on your cards. You'll understand what they are once you get to the Inner Academy."

Hu Gan chuckled, his gaze lingering on Qin Yu for a moment, as if anticipating his next move.

"By passing through this forest, we can reach the Inner Academy."

The old man, whom Hu Gan called Old Su, then continued.

"But... did you see the look in their eyes?"

Elder Su pointed to the group of senior students behind him. Judging from their eager expressions, it seemed as if they couldn't wait to pounce on him and snatch the Fire Crystal Card from everyone's hands.

"They will try to steal the Fire Energy from your chips. As for what Fire Energy actually is, I'll say it again: you'll understand when you get to the Inner Academy."

The trainees looked at each other, and the atmosphere became tense.

However, they were all top students from the Outer Academy, so they were quite confident about this operation.

"Did you all understand?"

"I understand!"

"Very well, let's officially begin this year's Fire Energy Hunting Competition!"

With Elder Su's wave of his hand, the students rushed towards the forest.

"Hu Gan, tell me... if Qin Yu is alone, how long can he hold out against these guys in the Inner Academy?"

After the students left, Elder Su and Elder Qing chatted with Hu Gan.

"Ha, you should ask that question the other way around."

Hu Gan slightly. He wasn't surprised that the two old guys asked such a question, after all, they had never witnessed Qin Yu's methods.

"Oh? This kid has connections?"

The two elders raised an eyebrow, their interest in Qin Yu growing even stronger.

To be conservative, they assumed that Qin Yu was alone.

Among the senior students in the Inner Academy, there are also those who possess Dou Ling.

Under these circumstances, how could Hu Gan still give such an evaluation?

"Just wait and see. After you two have seen it, you'll understand why I said that."

Just thinking about the expressions his two old friends would have made Hu Gan's lips curl up in a smile.

"... You can say whatever you want, but what's with that lewd smile?"

"Ahem, I just thought of something happy."

"What is it?"

"What I've been through, you're about to experience as well."
