Battle Through the Heavens: I'm Just an Alchemist

Chapter 35 The Dragon Crossing the River (Part 1)

With the Vice Dean's peak Dou Huang cultivation, finding and opening the spatial barrier set up by the Dou Zong powerhouse was not a difficult task.

After the group followed the vice dean through the silver gate, the spatial barrier returned to its original state.

There are trees all around here, so where is there any silver gate?

Stepping through the silver gate, what comes into view is not a classical and solemn hall, but an endless sea of ​​trees.

However, compared to the outside, there were two more elders, several middle-aged people, and more than twenty young people.

Those twenty-odd young people must be students from the inner academy.

"Old Zhao, Old Liu, so it's you two on duty this year?" The vice dean glanced at the senior students in the inner courtyard and couldn't help but chuckle.

"It's our turn now, it's our duty."

The two elders also noticed the fleeting look in the vice dean's eyes. They glanced at the handsome young man beside the vice dean, who was surrounded by four beautiful girls, and instantly understood the vice dean's thoughts.

The two exchanged a glance and understood each other's meaning.

In an instant, a conspiracy was quietly accomplished.

Elder Liu waved his hand, and fifty jet-black crystal cards sped out and landed in front of the fifty freshmen in the outer courtyard.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then grabbed the black crystal card in front of them, not understanding why.

This black crystal card is special; it constantly emits heat, and it also has a red number on it: five.

"All I can tell you now is that this thing is very important to you. After you enter the inner courtyard, you will understand how precious this fire energy is!"

Elder Liu pointed to the senior students behind him and said, "I believe you have seen their eyes. They want the fire energy in your hands. The inner courtyard is different from the outer courtyard. In order to help you get used to life in the inner courtyard in advance, we have specially prepared this fire energy hunting competition."

"Next, you will need to pass through this forest to enter the inner courtyard. The inner courtyard is at the end of the forest. During your journey through this forest, these senior students will not kill you, but they will use every means to steal the fire energy from you."

"Alright, I hereby declare the Fire Energy Hunting Competition officially open!"

"Class, let's begin our escape!"

"Students from the School of Foreign Languages, I am Nangong Wuxin. If you trust me, come with me!"

As soon as Elder Liu finished speaking, Nangong Wuxin raised his hand and rushed towards the senior students behind Elder Liu.

Jing Ni rushed forward without hesitation, followed closely by Zi Nu and Yan Ling Ji.

Han Yue hesitated for a moment, then immediately rushed forward. Seeing that their leader had gone up, the other female students followed suit.

Seeing that the female trainees had all gone up, the male trainees had even less reason to back down.

Seeing that everyone else had gone up, the rest followed suit.

The senior students in the inner courtyard had never seen such a scene before. They saw a force twice their size rushing forward, with two powerful cultivators at the front. How could they possibly withstand it?

Hmm? A Dou Ling expert!

"Elder! Why are there two Battle Spirit experts here?"

An elderly student, his face bruised and swollen, looked at the two elders in the sky in bewilderment. He didn't understand!

Elder Zhao chuckled and shrugged, saying, "I told you all to run away quickly, but who would have thought you'd be so stubborn?"

"Huh? You want us to run away?"

The old man collapsed weakly to the ground. How was this different from how he was back then...?

Suddenly, a hand patted the old student's face.

"Senior, I think we should be able to steal that so-called fire energy from you, right?"

With the two ringleaders being tough enough and having a numerical advantage, the bullying incident was quickly resolved.

Nangong Wuxin smiled as he looked at the old student lying on the ground, while the others pricked up their ears and waited quietly.

"Hmm..." The senior student closed his eyes in despair and let out a barely audible "hmm".

This is something that can be easily verified by others, and he wasn't the only one lying on the ground; there were more than twenty people there.

If he doesn't speak up, does that mean others won't?

"How about this, if you cooperate, I won't steal your fire energy, okay?"

Light, I have seen the light again!

"Yes, yes, yes, I'll cooperate. I won't hide anything I can tell you." The senior student nodded quickly; self-preservation was the most important thing at this time.

Nangong Wuxin smiled. It seemed that the living conditions of these senior students in the inner courtyard were not so wonderful after all.

"Is this Fire Energy Hunting Competition just for you senior students? Is there anyone else?"

"Yes, there's also a Black Fiend Team and a White Fiend Team; they're stronger than us."

"Oh? How many Dou Ling experts are there? Are there any Dou Ling experts above the Seven Star level?" Out of caution, Nangong Wuxin still asked.

The latest novel is first published here!

Who knows if these old folks who love watching the drama will arrange a "surprise" for him?

"I don't know, but it's definitely not as strong as a Seven-Star Battle Spirit. A powerhouse of that level wouldn't lack fire energy."

"Oh, are there any cliques or factions within the inner courtyard?"

Yes, there are many.

"Then, can we rob those small groups of their fire energy?"

"...Okay, but no one can be killed." The senior student paused for a moment. What kind of people are these freshmen anyway?

Have bandits from the Black Corner Region infiltrated?

That's so outrageous!

After asking a few more questions, Nangong Wuxin ended the questioning, raised his palm, and looked at the people around him.

"Fellow students, as you've all heard, the inner academy is a dog-eat-dog world. I'm not very talented, but I advanced to the sixth-grade alchemist a few days ago. If you trust me, then follow me. At the very least, I won't let you be bullied."

"Those willing to follow Mr. Wuxin, please raise your hands like me!"

As soon as Nangong Wuxin finished speaking, Han Yue raised her hand.

The freshmen who had just defeated the seniors also raised their hands when they saw this.

They didn't want to be bullied, especially since these were the words of a sixth-grade alchemist. Why not follow him?

That's... a sixth-grade alchemist!

"Let's share the fire energy of these senior students; we'll leave this senior who's cooperating out of it."

Nangong Wuxin glanced at Han Yue beside him, nodded and smiled.

Han Yue finally realized what was happening and quickly started moving. She was a little dazed; her mind hadn't even registered what was going on before her body was already moving.

The young man beside her was actually a sixth-grade alchemist!

My God!

It's truly astonishing. A sixth-grade alchemist! Even in Zhongzhou, that's a famous figure. The Han family would have to pay a considerable price to hire a sixth-grade alchemist.

And how old is he?

He's already a sixth-grade alchemist, what about the future?

Now that she was already on this big ship, Han Yue quickly made a decision.

Cling to this powerful figure, hold on tight, and don't let go, even if it comes at a price!
