Early next morning, all the incoming freshmen congregated at the huge training grounds. There were 500 or so students there, the place was a mess, and those that knew each other were huddled together, chattering non-stop.
This kind of situation was normal. There weren’t any academy teacher to come and maintain order.
Su Hao and little fatty and also He Qingqing stayed together. They curiously watched the surrounding mess of the crowd and waited patiently without speaking.
Soon a change occurred. On the front platform of the training grounds, out walked eight uniformed people. It looked like they were eight teachers, 5 men, 3 women. Each were full of heroic spirit and they emitted a powerful aura. With the appearance of the 8, the students in the grounds directed their attention to them and the scene quieted down.
“Clap clap clap!” At this time, a burst of applause sounded out, and everyone followed the source.
A gray-haired middle-aged man, dressed in a cloud-patterned white robe, clapped while walking to the 8 teachers. Seeing that everyone’s attention was on him, the middle-aged man opened his mouth: “Welcome to Lingyun Warriors Academy!”
The middle-aged man’s voice was low and hoarse, not too loud, but curiously, everyone in the courtyard could clearly hear his words.
“I am Lingyun Warriors Academy’s dean, Xiao Jixuan.
“Boom~”
After Xiao Jixuan introduced himself, the students present became noisy.
“This is Dean Xiao Jixuan” “Oh my goodness. This is the first time I’ve seen him. So handsome!” “As expected of one of the three most powerful in Lingyun Town, one look and you can tell he’s super amazing!” “Too handsome. He’s my idol!”
……
Xiao Jixuan did not get annoyed and waited for the noise to settle down before slowly saying: “You’re all the human race’s good seedlings, the future. To be able to see you all today is my honor. Thank you all for recognizing Lingyun Warriors Academy. Thank you for joining Lingyun Warriors Academy.”
Xiao Jixuan paused before continuing: “Our human race’s place on this world relies on our human race’s wisdom, relies on our generational inheritance. The Warriors Academy is our human race’s most important inheritance land. You all will being your path as warriors here, gain powerful strength, resist the invaders, expand the human race’s territory, fight for sustaining the human race in this world.”
All the students could feel their blood boiling.
“Here, other than practicing martial arts, you will also study all kinds of knowledge, so the knowledge can enrich your consciousness, let you speak more virtuously, do things with respect, speak measuredly, think with magnanimity, make your soul more noble.”
“Learning martial arts can allow you to gain powerful strength, rid you of cowardice; Learn, let knowledge quietly help you wipe away the ignorance from your face.”
……
“Okay then. I wish you all success in your studies at Lingyun Warriors Academy, and may you be successful in your goals.”
After Xiao Jixuan finished speaking, he left the high platform with a smile. The students below the platform began to chatter again, each with faces full of excitement.
Su Hao looked at little fatty and He Qingqing’s flushed faces, and sighed helplessly: “This brainwashing, I’ll give him 99 points.”
After a while, another brawny man wearing a cloud-patterned yellow robe walked up, his face was icy cold, as if everyone below the platform owed him money. Everyone sensed the inexplicably cold aura and quieted down. They carefully measured up the teacher that just appeared.
Soon this brawny man spoke: “Remember, this old man is Jin Datong. Obediently listen to my words for you own good. If you don’t, you will be expelled.”
In the crowd, Jin Xiaohan covered her face: “Third brother, elder brother is too embarrassing.”
Jin Dayan showed a hint of a blush, and embarrassedly said: “What are you saying? He’s your eldest brother.”
On the other hand, Mo Xin was practically drooling: “So handsome, so handsome. Brother Datong is so handsome!”
Jin Datong continued: “Kids, did you think you smoothly enrolled into the academy? Simply delusional. This old man will tell you, your messy performance today has made this old man upset! So this old man has temporarily decided to expel a few people from Lingyun Warriors Academy. Go back to wherever you came from!”
Everyone was shocked. What was this? Chaos erupted again.
Little fatty at Su Hao’s side nervously grabbed onto Su Hao: “Xiangwu, did you hear that? He wants to expel people. We currently haven’t truly enrolled! What’ll we do? What’ll we do? Will I get expelled?”
He Qingqing also looked to Su Hao nervously, hoping Su Hao could tell her she would definitely get past this obstacle
Su Hao comforted: “Relax. We just need to through the tricks.”
Jin Datong followed with a sneer: “See the eight teachers behind me? Each teach can only take 50 student. So, in this courtyard, there are only 400 spots, but there are 518 people! That is to say…”
Each word was punctuated: “118 people will be expelled.”
“Boom~”
The courtyard exploded again.
This time was worse then before. A bunch of kids without any experience, their faces filled with worry and helplessness, they were anxious to the point of wanting to cry.
Little fatty was anxious and pulled on Su Hao: “Xiangwu, what do we do? What do we do if we get expelled?”
Su Hao helplessly said: “If expelled, we go back to Cha Mountain Outpost!”
“No way. That’s too embarrassing. If I go back just like this, I’ll be mocked.”
“Then work hard to stay!”
“Xiangwu, you have to help me!”
Su Hao nodded: “I’ll help where I can.”
Little fatty and He Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief.
Jin Datong added: “Now, everyone listen to me or else be expelled.”
At this time, someone jumped out and pointed at Jin Datong angrily saying: “Why should I listen to you. Why should I be expelled just because you say expel? I paid the money, I have the plaque!”
Jin Datong nodded and said: “Very good. Then this old man will congratulate you on becoming the first to be expelled. Confiscate his plaque. Take him and this things and throw them out.
As soon as he finished speaking, a man wearing a black cloud-patterned robe came from outside the training grounds, picked up the expelled person and left.
No matter how the brat struggled and cried, nothing helped.
It was only at this time that Su Hao discovered that at an unknown time, the training grounds had been surrounded by ten black-robed men.
“This is for real!” Su Hao murmured to himself. Suddenly he became serious. If he didn’t successfully enroll, a gold yuan would have been wasted.
Jin Datong sneered: “Anyone else dissatisfied? Come out now, don’t waste everyone’s time.”
After waiting a bit, seeing no one responding, he said: “Then next, everyone run twenty laps around the training field. I will randomly eliminate those I don’t like! Similarly, whoever runs the fastest will receive a reward. The reward depends on my mood. That’s it!”
Everyone looked blankly at each other, no one was the first to start running.
Jin Xiaohan covered her face again, continually muttering: “Too embarrassing. Too embarrassing!”
Jin Dayan turned to his to the side.
“Still not running!” Jin Datong suddenly became furious and yelled at the crowd, “I’ll count to three. Anyone not running can get the hell out for this old man!”
“Three!”
A large mob of 10 or so year old children snapped out of their daydreaming and began to run in a scattered manner.
Su Hao brought little fatty and He Qingqing to mix with the crowd, running along.
He had placed importance on Jin Datong saying that he would expel anyone he didn’t like, but Su Hao didn’t know what Jin Datong wouldn’t like to see. So for the time being, he would collect information before doing anything extra. .𝒎
He believed that Jin Datong wouldn’t mess around and must have a standard for choosing suitable students.
The goal of running was actually to pick out the unsuitable students and expel them.
