Hu Gan slowly swept his gaze across the fifty students in the clearing. Seeing that no one was absent, he nodded in satisfaction.
Hu Gan stepped forward and said loudly, "Students, today is the day you enter the Inner Academy. First, let me congratulate you. Your long efforts have finally been rewarded. I believe that after entering the Inner Academy, you may not adapt to its methods of cultivation at first. However, there is one thing I can guarantee: there, your potential will be stimulated to the greatest extent possible."
"Hehe, I'm not boasting. As long as you remain in the Inner Academy for a year, you will undergo changes as though you have been reborn. Some of you may know students from the Inner Academy, since they occasionally come out during holidays. So, you should understand just how enormous the gap is between those students after they leave and before they entered."
Upon hearing Hu Gan's words, a few students nodded slightly. Anticipation and excitement appeared on their faces, their eyes blazing with eagerness.
"The Inner Academy is the core of Jia Nan Academy. Due to its secrecy, most students and even instructors of the Outer Academy do not know its exact location. Therefore, we will send you to a certain place."
Hu Gan smiled and looked up at the blue sky in the distance. Ten black shadows were flying toward them.
A moment later, the black shadows gradually grew larger. They were ten enormous Griffin Beasts.
The huge shadows of the ten Griffin Beasts swept over the academy before stopping above Xiao Yao and the others. Their wings beat, stirring violent winds that nearly knocked some of the students below off their feet.
Hu Gan waved at the Griffin Beasts in the sky, and their shadows immediately descended.
