The Battle Through Heaven
The Jia Nan Academy Law Enforcement Unit
The pitch-black aura emitted from the ‘That strange Death’ Spirit Tree caused everyone, who stopped at the entrance of the small town, to feel a chill in their bones. In ‘Black’ Corner Region, name ‘The Deathly Spirit Tree’ has almost already reached the stage where one would tremble in fear just by hearing its name. Many people, who have been living in ‘Black’ Corner Region for several years, will not forget the deadly and bloody battle between ‘Black’ Corner Region and Jia Nan Academy. Not many people had actually noticed the reason why the bloody battle had begun. The only thing that people knew was that after that bloody battle, the corpses of two strong Dou Wang and one Dou Huang were hung on this ‘Death Spirit Tree’ by an extremely ruthless method …
From that day on, the area around the Jia Nan Academy turned into a desolate region that was incomparable to the outside world. No more strong people from ‘Black-Corner Region’ who dared to carry a face filled with killing intent and attack these small towns. Although there was some unrest, the people involved in it would be corpses affixed on the ‘Death Spirit Tree’ within an hour.
During these years, the fame of ‘Death Spirit Tree’ almost spread to the whole ‘Black’ Corner Region. Therefore, even those evil people rarely had the courage to enter this place, such as digging their own graves.
Xiao Yan stood at the entrance of the small town and inhaled a deep breath of air. The coldness in his heart was gone. He ignored those people, who were hesitant and did not dare to enter the city, and raised his feet before stepping into this ‘City of Peace’, which represented the entrance to the Jia Nan Academy.
As Xiao Yan's footsteps had just stepped into ‘City of Peace’, he felt a strange wave sweep over him.
Ignoring the waves that carried the impression of inspection, Xiao Yan raised his head and stared at the small-town street. There were quite a number of people on the street, with various different stalls placed on both sides. Some children go back and forth as they play rough and laugh. This quiet harmony atmosphere was too drastic as was the appearance of ‘Black-Corner Region’.
The people on the street naturally found Xiao Yan, who entered through the entrance of the city. Although their eyes had a cautious light, they did not have too frightened of a reaction.
Xiao Yan's gaze swept across the road. He was just about to step onto it, when his heart suddenly moved. As he raised his head and directed his gaze towards the roof of the house in the city, only to see over ten shadows swiftly heading towards the entrance of the city like a monkey.
A moment later, more than ten human figures flashed and appeared at the main entrance of the small town. Their gazes swept over Xiao Yan and the others. Among them, a middle-aged man, who might be the leader, said weakly, "Anyone who wants to enter ‘City of Peace’ should report an identity, a name, etc. Otherwise, they would be instantly expelled."
Xiao Yan's eyes stared at these ten more human figures. He realized that other than the middle-aged man, who became the leader, there were men and women among the ten more people present. But they are all very young. From their looks, they looked to be around twenty-two or twenty-three years old.
These young people were wearing the same pale blue colored clothes. Moreover, they wore blue-colored badges on the chest of their clothes. Inside the badge was a dagger contaminated with bright red liquid blood.
At this moment, these ten more young people were using wary and vague gazes as they stared at Xiao Yan and the others.
"In addition, after you report your name and identity, you will take this medicinal pill." The middle-aged man waved his hand, and a bottle of pale-red medicinal pills appeared in his hand. He carelessly glanced at everyone who had just arrived from ‘Black’ Corner Region whose expression slightly changed as he spoke coldly, "Be assured that this is not poison. It was a medicinal pill refined by the alchemist department in the academy that sensed killing intent. If you all have killing intent within your heart while you are within the limits of the Academy, this medicinal pill will emit a red glow from within your body. Our Law Enforcement Unit will follow this red light and come looking for you. You should all know how the Jia Nan Academy handles those who bring the practice of ‘Black’ Corner Region to this place .. Before you all plan to leave the small town, before you all plan to leave, You can go to the heart of the city to get an antidote. However, once the antidote is in your hands, there will be a Law Enforcement Unit watching you all the way out of town. "
When they heard the words of the middle-aged man, the faces of the people at the entrance of the city inevitably changed. With their sensitive nerves frequently living at the tip of the blade, how could they possibly swallow an unknown medicinal pill? Isn't that the same as putting their lives into the hands of others?
However, just like some mischievous people who could not resist the urge to retaliate, the ten more men and women behind the middle-aged man immediately let out choking sounds. They then pulled the long sword they carried around their waists regularly. Dou Qi of a different color seeped out from within their bodies as they finally aimed their sword tip towards the entrance of the city. They were clearly thinking of directly attacking and driving away those people, if there was any disagreement.
"Rules ‘City of Peace’ has always been like this. If you don't want to, don't go in. Otherwise, if you enter and break the rules, there may be more decorations to hang on ‘Death Spirit Tree’. " The middle-aged man extended his hand as he spoke indifferently. As his words fell, a powerful force slowly began to seep out from within his body.
"The strength of this person should be at least above that of a seven star Da Dou Shi.." Xiao Yan softly muttered as he sensed the powerful strength emanating from the middle-aged man.
Seeing that the other party had not abated, ferocious air involuntarily surged onto the faces of the people at the entrance of the city. However, when the corner of their eyes led to the ‘Death Spirit Tree’ at the side, their entire bodies trembled as they felt a chill. The ferocious aura, which they had just created, disappeared immediately and completely. They gritted their teeth and some people, who were still unwilling to swallow the medicinal pill, left helplessly.
When those people left, all that was left could only enter despite not wanting to. After which, they walked towards the middle-aged man and reported their names, took out a pale-red medicinal pill and swallowed it in front of the Law Enforcement Unit.
"That's whether the students of the academy need to eat this thing?" A young man in front of the middle-aged man suddenly asked when the latter used to hand over the medicinal pills to the former.
"Uh?" When they heard these words, the people around, as well as the ten more members of the Law Enforcement Unit, averted their stunned gazes. As he stared at the young man's gentle and handsome face, the middle-aged man asked with a face full of doubt, "You said you're a student of this academy?"
"Formerly, after passing the student recruitment test, I took some time off. Therefore, I can only come myself "Xiao Yan shrugged, smiled and replied.
"You have passed ‘Black’ Corner Region alone to come here?" The middle-aged man was instantly empty upon hearing this. His face was filled with shock. Please note that normally, the new students of the academy will be escorted by some people sent by the academy until entering after arriving outside ‘Black’ Corner Region. After all, a group of new students, who had just left their cottage, might not even be able to walk out of the Great Plains of the Black Region before they were finished off by countless hidden blades. After all, this kind of chaotic place was where people were eaten with their bones.
Xiao Yan only smiled and nodded his chin slightly when faced with the strange gazes of the middle-aged man and the ten more young men and women behind.
Seeing Xiao Yan nod his head, the astonishment in the middle-aged man's eyes became even more bountiful. His gaze swept Xiao Yan up and down as he said, "Report your name, age, and recruitment instructor."
"Xiao Yan, eighteen, instructor ..." Xiao Yan blinked his eyes. The adult woman who was as gentle as water back then appeared in his mind. He could not help but say with a smile, "Instructor Ruo Ling."
"Eighteen years? You dare to traverse ‘Black-Corner Region’ at the age of eighteen? Little boy, regardless of whether you are telling the truth, this is the first time I have seen someone with such courage. " The middle-aged man waved his hand. He was just about to turn around and instruct the people to investigate, when the expression of a young boy, whose eyebrows were tightly clenched as he thought of something bitterly, suddenly changed. He shouted involuntarily, "Xiao Yan? Don't tell me that you are Xiao Yan from the Jia Ma Empire who has taken two years of leave at once? "
The involuntary cry of the youngster caused the people around him to become empty. Suddenly, their faces were filled with a sudden understanding. They looked at Xiao Yan with a somewhat strange gaze. Everyone in the academy had heard the name of this thorn-like student who had taken a two-year leave even before he entered the academy in this one year. Of course, the reason the name Xiao Yan could be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the Jia Nan Academy was naturally because he had a good relationship with Xun Er …
"Xiao Yan's? Xiao Yan ge-ge from junior Xun Er? " After some young people were stunned for a moment, there was suddenly an additional unknown meaning in the gaze they used to look at Xiao Yan. This kind of expression was something that Xiao Yan had seen in the eyes of Young Master Jia Lie in Wu Tan City. TL: ge-ge – older brother or older male friend (the last meaning used by women in a loving way
"Hey, this girl I haven't even come to the academy yet but she ended up creating all those inexplicable love rivals for me?" Xiao Yan was immediately amused when he saw the expression in the young man's eyes. In his heart, he felt unable to laugh or cry as he shook his head.
"If you're talking about Xiao Yan from Wu Tan City of the Jia Ma Empire, then it must be me." Xiao Yan extended his hand to the middle-aged man, whose face was just as shocked as he spoke with a smile.
"You should come with us first to the administrative office to check the records. If what you're saying is true, you don't have to eat this thing. Oh right, I am called Huo De and I am the section chief of the second part of the Law Enforcement Unit of the Jia Nan Academy and also the Huang class instructor in the academy. " When Xiao Yan mentioned the name of Wu Tan City, the middle-aged man had more confidence in him. However, to be safe, he still had to have Xiao Yan follow him to the academy's administrative office in the city.
"Huo De's Instructor." Xiao Yan greeted him. Upon seeing Huo De nod his head, Xiao Yan followed him under the strange gazes of the ten plus Law Enforcement personnel.
"Hey, is that person really Xiao Yan?" The ten Law Enforcement personnel of the academy stared at Xiao Yan's back as they followed from a distance, not far or near, behind Huo De. They could not help but start engaging in private conversations.
"It seems like it should be the truth. He doesn't seem very handsome. Why did Junior Xun Er keep thinking about it? He even directly refused to be seduced by our heads because of him. "
"You should not underestimate this Xiao Yan. Being able to charge to ‘Black’ Corner Region alone and safely arrive here is enough to explain something. At least, if we have a short visit for ten days to half a month in ‘Black’ Corner Region, I dare not guarantee that my hands and feet will remain safe and healthy. " A young man, whose face was ordinary, looked at Xiao Yan's back, then glanced at his friends as he said faintly.
This ordinary-looking young man seemed to have quite a good reputation in the Law Enforcement Unit. Hence, the ten more other members of the Law Enforcement Unit were shocked when they heard his words. They also nodded in silence. As the first small city, which is related to ‘Black’ Corner Area, they have seen many crazy people from ‘Black’ Corner Area every day.
