The Inner Tower has nine floors.
Each level has its own limitations, and to advance to a higher level and receive more missions, you need to complete a certain number of missions.
However, Ye Qiubai and the others are the owners of the Heaven Character Courtyard No. 3, so they can enter the third level even if they haven't completed the mission.
Personal disciples are able to directly enter the fifth level.
However, it is said that only two people have ever been able to enter the ninth level.
One of these two was the dean's personal disciple, while the other was a legendary figure at the Chaotic Spirit Academy. This person was the previous master of the No. Heaven Character Courtyard No. 1. Afterwards, many elders wanted to take him as their disciple, and even the dean extended an olive branch. However, this person did something that shocked everyone. He not only rejected the dean and other elders, but also gave up the Heaven Character Courtyard No. 1 and went out to train.
This person's name is Gu Sheng.
The fact that he could use the name of a saint reveals his ambition.
Meanwhile, in the Second Elder's courtyard...
He Xiangwang also told the Second Elder about Xiao Hei's rejection of his offer and the words he had spoken.
"Master, isn't this special admission student a bit too arrogant?"
The Second Elder's expression remained unchanged as he calmly flipped through the scroll in his hand, not even frowning as he said, "It's normal for a prodigy to be a little arrogant. On the contrary, if he had accepted my offer outright, I might have thought I had misjudged him."
"Then..." He Xiangwang was taken aback.
The Second Elder rolled up the scroll and put it into his spatial ring. He then stood up, looked at the peach tree in the courtyard, and reached out to stroke the only beautiful peach blossom on the branch. He said, "However, one thing is one thing. Since they cannot be used by me and have even insulted the elders at will, this Non-Self the proper etiquette for students of the Chaotic Spirit Academy."
"You should teach them a lesson. I heard they're going on a mission?"
At this point, the Second Elder pinched the peach blossom and crushed all the petals!
Seeing the peach blossoms turn into fine powder, He Xiangwang grinned maliciously and nodded, saying, "I know what to do, Master."
Go ahead, don't let me down.
Inner Tower.
As Feng Ye led Xiao Hei and the others inside, many people turned their attention to them and whispered among themselves.
The discussion revolved around Xiao Hei's rejection of He Xiangwang and his public statement that the Second Elder was unworthy.
"It seems the Second Elder is going to make a move against you." Feng Ye chuckled.
The news spread so quickly simply to solidify the reason for targeting Xiao Hei and his group, thus making their move legitimate!
Xiao Hei shrugged and said, "Let's do it then."
"Let's go. With your strength, you're capable of taking on the seventh-level quest."
After speaking, under everyone's watchful eyes, Feng Ye led Xiao Hei and the others upstairs.
With each floor you go up, the space becomes smaller, and the number of people also decreases.
By the time they reached the seventh floor, there were only a dozen or so people left.
These people are basically his direct disciples.
Within the inner courtyard, only the Yu Cheng of the Heaven Character Courtyard No. 1 Heavenly Courtyard is located here.
Upon seeing them, Yu Cheng was slightly taken aback, then stepped forward and clasped his hands in greeting to Feng Ye, saying, "Senior Sister Feng, isn't it a bit too early for you to bring them here to accept a mission?"
Feng Ye waved his hand and said, "Anyone who can fight me to a draw can't go up to the seventh floor?"
"But... the others." Yu Cheng glanced at Ye Qiubai and the others behind Xiao Hei.
After all, Ye Qiubai and the others had not yet demonstrated their strength.
Just then, a man a head taller than Yu Cheng suddenly walked over, patted Yu Cheng on the shoulder, and laughed, "What's wrong?"
Yu Cheng looked at the man beside him and replied, "Senior Brother Peng, I see someone I know."
The man looked at Xiao Hei and the others and smiled, "I know them too. They're the most talked-about people in the academy lately!"
Feng Ye, standing to the side, crossed his arms and sneered, "Alright, Peng Dahai, stop pretending to be the Second Elder's personal disciple. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at for such terrible acting skills!"
Upon hearing that Peng Dahai was the Second Elder's personal disciple, Xiao Hei and the others couldn't help but turn their attention to him.
This person's cultivation level is on par with Feng Ye's.
Half-Step Ancestor Realm.
Peng Dahai rubbed his bald head and laughed loudly, "That's a bit much, but I really came here to take on the mission. I've recently taken a fancy to something that requires a lot of contribution points."
Contribution points can also be exchanged for resources within the academy.
"But..." Peng Dahai suddenly stopped laughing heartily, looked at Xiao Hei and the others and sneered, "Isn't it a bit inappropriate to publicly insult my master? Why don't you come with me now to kneel down and apologize, and let this matter end here?"
Mu Fusheng originally wanted to pull Xiao Hei back and tell him not to act impulsively, but upon hearing this, he immediately withdrew his hand.
Xiao Hei met his gaze without flinching, and said calmly, "I'm telling the truth, what's wrong with that?"
"Alright, then there's nothing to discuss." Peng Dahai clapped his hands and said, "Since that's the case, I, as his disciple, cannot turn a blind eye."
"What are you going to do?" Feng Ye frowned.
You'll find out soon.
As expected.
Peng Dahai stayed by the side while Feng Ye led Xiao Hei and the others to choose their missions.
It seems I want to take on the same mission as them.
Multiple people can accept the task at the same time, but the reward goes to whoever completes it first.
Feng Ye was also angry, and was about to say something.
But then she saw a hand grab her, and when she turned around, she saw it was Xiao Hei.
Xiao Hei's expression remained indifferent as he transmitted his voice, "Senior Sister Feng, let him do it. At this point, if we don't resolve this, the trouble will only continue..."
Feng Ye asked in surprise via telepathy, "Take care of? Take care of whom?"
Xiao Hei paused for a moment, seemingly thinking about something, before speaking.
"Of course it's him. We can't deal with the Second Elder right now, so we can only inflict pain on them first, at least make them wary. As for the Second Elder... we'll discuss that later."
Upon hearing Xiao Hei's telepathic message, Feng Ye's heart trembled.
Although she was bold, she was nowhere near as daring as Xiao Hei!
He actually considered taking down an elder?! And the only elder who could currently rival the Grand Elder!
However, Mu Fusheng stood beside Xiao Hei with a broad smile on his face.
Little did they know that the words Xiao Hei had just transmitted were actually spoken by Mu Fusheng, who was standing nearby.
If Mu Fusheng were to speak in person, it would likely make Feng Ye doubt his abilities prematurely.
Ye Qiubai Fang Qiong Shi Sheng saw Mu Fusheng's smile.
He couldn't help but think to himself.
"It's been a long time since I've seen the Junior Brother Mu with that expression."
"Hmm, the Senior Brother Mu is probably angry."
"Definitely, who told them to keep pressing the issue?"
Mu Fusheng is cautious, but if something has already happened, he will try to solve the problem at its root.
If Peng Dahai caused the trouble, then take Peng Dahai to a secluded place and kill him. This interception mission is the perfect opportunity.
If the Second Elder continues to persist, then we'll need to put some thought into eliminating him as well, even if it involves some risks...
After all, continuing like this would make it easier for Mu Fusheng to be exposed, wouldn't it?
