First Arrival at the Inner Academy

First Arrival at the Inner Academy

Looking at the more than five thousand Fire Energy Points on his card, Fa Wutian nodded in satisfaction.

Then, Fa Wutian left the area.

After all, the first team to reach the destination would receive an Azure Fire Energy Card!

Naturally, he would not refuse something given away for free.

Thus, after looting all the old students, he rushed over without stopping.

At the same time, four bedraggled figures emerged from the nearby bushes.

If Fa Wutian had been there, he would definitely have recognized them as Lin Xiuya and his group!

However, they were all in poor condition, as though they had just gone through a fierce battle.

"Everyone, hold on a little longer. The assembly point is right ahead. As long as we get there, we'll have completed this tournament!"

Seeing how exhausted the three beside him were, Lin Xiuya could not help but encourage them.

"Mm!"

Hearing this, all three nodded.

Although they had been in a sorry state during this Fire Energy Hunting Tournament, they would still be the first team to complete it!

Perhaps the academy had some reward prepared for the first team to arrive!

"Let's go. We'll keep moving forward!"

Looking at the towering ancient tree ahead, Lin Xiuya calmed his excited heart and led everyone onward.

When they were still several hundred meters from the assembly point, a familiar figure shot past them.

Lin Xiuya and the others were instantly stunned.

However, they quickly came to their senses and immediately gave chase.

But how could they, already exhausted to the limit, possibly keep up with Fa Wutian?

Thus, Fa Wutian naturally became the first person to reach the assembly point!

By the time Lin Xiuya and the others arrived, Fa Wutian had already received an Azure Fire Energy Card and a reward of thirty days' worth of Fire Energy from an Inner Academy instructor. He had even spent seven hundred Fire Energy to upgrade the card to the highest-tier Purple Fire Energy Card because he disliked its color!

A Purple Fire Energy Card granted its holder the right to reach the ninth floor of the Burning Sky Qi Refining Tower!

However, Fa Wutian could only think about it for now.

After all, he did not possess the corresponding strength to enter the ninth floor.

The minimum requirement for entering a cultivation room on the ninth floor was that of a High-Level Dou Spirit!

At that moment, Bai Cheng saw the Purple Fire Energy Card in Fa Wutian's hand and immediately flew into a rage.

"Fa Wutian, what do you mean by this? You actually took advantage of our weakness and stole the reward that should have been ours!"

"Idiot."

Fa Wutian answered coldly with just two words.

Not to mention that he had exchanged for the Purple Fire Energy Card himself, but with their strength, they could never have taken first place from him anyway!

Moreover, Fa Wutian had an extremely poor impression of Bai Cheng.

Bai Cheng had previously harbored killing intent toward him, which was why Fa Wutian treated him this way.

"What? You dare insult me? Just wait! Once we reach the Inner Academy, I'll make your life worse than death! Don't think that just because you're strong, you can act without restraint. There are plenty of people in the Inner Academy stronger than you! I refuse to believe that even they can't deal with you!"

Hearing that, Fa Wutian gave him a cold glance, frightening him until his entire body trembled.

Seeing this, Fa Wutian could not be bothered to pay him any attention.

In his eyes, Bai Cheng was like a grasshopper constantly testing the edge of death.

Sooner or later, he would meet a violent end!

When Bai Cheng saw Fa Wutian frightening him like this, his hatred for him grew even deeper.

However, he also understood that he was no match for Fa Wutian. Therefore, he planned to find an opportunity to take revenge after reaching the Inner Academy.

Although Lin Xiuya and his group were the second team to arrive, the Inner Academy instructor still handed them Blue Fire Energy Cards and a reward of twenty days' worth of Fire Energy.

Once the seven-day limit was up and the Inner Academy instructor had brought back those who had yet to arrive, he solemnly announced, "I am pleased to see that you made it here. This proves that all of you are elites among elites! As for those who failed to arrive within the allotted time, their Fire Energy Points will be deducted!"

Those who had not arrived on time immediately protested.

"Why?"

"Yeah! Why? You sent old students to intercept us, and you still think you're in the right?"

"That's right! If the old students hadn't intercepted us, we might have made it here!"

Looking at the noisy group below, the Inner Academy instructor merely rose into the air and calmly said one sentence.

"Silence!"

Yet those two words exploded beside their ears like thunder.

Only then did everyone realize that the seemingly ordinary Inner Academy instructor before them was actually a Dou King!

Feeling the pressure radiating from him, the noisy group instantly fell silent.

"Your failure to arrive on time is your own problem! Otherwise, how did they manage to arrive on time? As for why the academy arranged for old students to intercept you, it was to let you experience the cruelty of the outside world in advance! After all, out there, they would not merely rob you of your Fire Energy—they would take your lives!"

Hearing this, everyone finally understood the academy's good intentions.

Afterward, under the Inner Academy instructor's arrangements, everyone boarded flying magical beasts one after another and headed for the Inner Academy.

Inner Academy, the next day.

On a comfortable bed, Fa Wutian was awakened by waves of shouting coming from downstairs.

"Who is it? So early in the morning, disturbing my sweet dreams!"

After pushing open the window, Fa Wutian shouted impatiently downstairs.

Without realizing it, he had knocked a flowerpot off the balcony.

The flowerpot fell directly onto someone's head.

The person let out a miserable scream and collapsed unconscious onto the ground.

Realizing that he seemed to have hit someone, Fa Wutian immediately went downstairs.

When the injured person's companions saw Fa Wutian come down, they immediately shouted, "Kid, you dare injure someone from our Sky Wolf Gang? If you don't hand over all your Fire Energy today, you won't be able to explain yourself!"

Fa Wutian frowned slightly at those words.

However, he quickly understood. These people were likely from the Inner Academy's established factions.

They had come this time to recruit powerful newcomers.

As for everyone else, they would become targets for their oppression!

After all, the operation of a faction often required vast resources.

Thus, the Fire Energy held by newcomers naturally became a tempting prize in their eyes!

At that moment, the ordinary newcomers being suppressed seemed to have found a savior and immediately gathered before Fa Wutian.

"Fa Wutian, don't give it to them! They're a bunch of bloodsuckers! All they know is how to forcibly steal Fire Energy from us newcomers!"

"That's right! If I hadn't just arrived at the Inner Academy, who knows who'd be robbing whom!"

"And even if you give it to them, they might only get worse!"

"That's right! We absolutely can't give it to them!"
