The Battle Through Heaven
New Student Tribute Costs
When Xiao Yan walked out of his room the next morning, he saw two human figures flashing and interconnected with each other within the hall of their new pavilion home. Powerful Dou Qi swarmed out from within the bodies of the two of them, and rippled throughout the entire hall.
On a chair in one corner of the hall, Xun Er smiled as she looked at the two figures. When he heard the sound of footsteps, he suddenly turned around and looked at Xiao Yan, who was descending the stairs. He could not help but hurriedly move forward to greet him. In a soft voice, he smiled and asked, ” Xiao Yan ge-ge have you woken up? ’
’’ Yes. ’’ Xiao Yan smiled and nodded. He faced the two people in the hall and asked with a smile, ” What are the two people doing? ‘
’Maybe this is because of this ‘Hunting’ competition. As they trained overnight, Wu Hao and Hu Jia each advanced to a seven star Da Dou Shi one after another. They want to argue when they wake up in the morning. Because of that ... ’’ Xun Er closed her mouth and explained while laughing.
’’Oh? Are they proficient? ’
Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He immediately sighed and shook his head. These two people were worthy of being the top in the Outer Academy of the Jia Nan Academy. Their talents far exceeded those of ordinary people. If one were to only discuss training talent, they would even be on the same level as Xiao Yan.
’’How about Xun Er? What is your level now? ” Xiao Yan turned his head, throwing his gaze towards Xun Er while asking with a smile. This girl had displayed a training talent that caused her to be amazed. When he left Wu Tan City, Xun Er was only a Dou Zhe. Now, after just over two years, he was already at the Da Dou Shi level. This kind of speed was something that perhaps he would have trouble catching up if he did not have Yao Lao's help. Moreover, Xun Er was even younger than Xiao Yan.
”I? I am also at the seven star Da Dou Shi level right now. However, after this ‘Fire’ Energy Hunting Competition, I felt that/that I was already almost ahead. I think in three or four days, I should be able to successfully become an eight star Da Dou Shi. ’Xun Er raised the teacup beside her, inhaling superficially and smiling as she replied Xiao Yan.
’’ Tsk tsk, one after another .. ’’
Xiao Yan could not help but click his tongue. It seemed that everyone in this small group of four people was no ordinary person. They all have surprising talent and potential. Moreover, Xiao Yan dared to say that/that the three of them had hidden abilities and their own trump cards. If they encountered an extremely dangerous situation, the power that would erupt from them shocked people. He has no doubts about this. After all, Hu Jia's grandfather was the Vice Headmaster of the Outer Academy with a strength close to the peak of the Dou Huang class. Against his only grandson, he would naturally not hold back when teaching him.
According to what Instructor Ruo Ling and the others said, the person behind Wu Hao seemed to be the commander of the Law Enforcement Unit. This unit was basically the armed forces of the Jia Nan Academy. Usually, they focus on handling bad and fierce people coming from ‘Black Corner.’ Region By being able to become the commander of such a unit, it was likely that his strength was no weaker than Vice School Head Hu Gan.
There was even little to talk about Xun Er. Even until now, Xiao Yan was still not convinced of the large faction behind him. Of course, from Yao Lao's somewhat frightening tone, he could faintly sense his outline.
Against the background of the three of them, Xiao Yan did not think that/that the trump card they had would be much weaker than his. Since he could rely on the Secret Technique to defeat an elite Dou Ling, it was likely that they could also do something similar, right?
’’ Bang, bang! ’’
Just as Xiao Yan sighed endlessly over the strength of this small group, a rushing knocking sound suddenly sounded from the door in an untimely manner.
Xiao Yan raised his head uncertainly. His gaze swept towards the front door and Xun Er obediently stood up and quickly walked over. Wu Hao and Hu Jia had stopped saving when they heard a knock. They took a towel next to them and wiped their sweat. After which, they walked to Xiao Yan's side, lifted the teacup on the table, and swallowed the tea in one gulp.
” What happened? ” Wu Hao asked indistinctly after drinking.
’’ We will know after we take the toiletk. ’’ Xiao Yan smiled, and raised his head only to look at Xun Er, who had opened the door and talked to the person outside for a while, quickly walked back.
’’ Xun Er, what's up? ’’ Hu Jia smiled and asked Xun Er a question as she tied the purple belt on her beautiful waist, describing her already fragile and narrow waist, until it was all the more alluring.
” There are dozens of new students outside who say that/that they want to meet Xiao Yan ge-ge. ” Xun Er knit her brows slightly as she spoke.
”Murid new? Is something wrong? Forget it, let them in. ’’Xiao Yan was a little surprised before he immediately replied.
”Iya nih.”
” Senior Xiao Yan. Being a new student, you should definitely help us. These older students in the Inner Academy had truly gone too far. ’’It was a young man, whose face was a bit flushed red from agitation. Xiao Yan still remembered that/that young man is one of the three people still standing after matching up against a single ‘Black Demon Group’ member in a match with ‘Black Demon Group’ during ‘Hunting Competition.’ If he remembers correctly, his name is Atai.
”What happened? Say it clearly. ” Xiao Yan frowned and said.
‘’Starting from this morning, several groups of older students entered the new student area, clamoring all along. They want to collect what they call the New Student Tribute Fee, which is worth 2 days ‘Energi Api’ per person .. We also know that/it as a newcomer, there is no need to act too sharply. It's okay if we just hang on a little bit. So, we did not say anything and handed over the payment of ‘Energi Api’ to them. In the end, it was unexpected that/it was after we sent that group of people, even the older group of students came one after another, repeatedly barging into our new student area. They blocked the exit and are now asking us to pay again. To date, three groups have arrived. If this continues, the little ‘Fire’ Energy we get from the new students after fighting desperately with Senior will really be taken! ” Young man named Atai gritted his teeth and spoke in annoyance.
” Aren't these people overreacting? ” Hu Jia's pretty face sank slightly as her delicate hand patted the arm of the chair.
Xiao Yan held the teacup with both hands. His eyes narrowed, but he did not open his mouth to say anything.
” Senior Xiao Yan, we came to look for you, not because we want you to help free us from such abuse. We also understand that/that as a new student of the Inner Academy, it is inevitable to be bullied by older students. I also asked some friends. In previous years, the new students needed to pay a little of the so-called ‘New’ Student Tuition Fee, but that was unlike what is happening to us now, where one group after another came. From what my friend said, the reason for things like this year is because the performance of new students in the ‘ Fire’ Energy Hunting Competition caused the hearts of some older students to be in a bad mood. So, this kind of new situation had emerged. ’Atai laughed bitterly and sighed.
’’By saying all these things, I do not blame Senior Xiao Yan. You have led us to avoid being pressured and bullied by older students during ‘Fire Energy Hunting Competition.’ Senior Xiao Yan's reputation was now the highest in the hearts of the new students this year. Therefore, we can only ask that you step forward now that we have faced such a troublesome situation. Hopefully, this can give us new students to deduce layer by layer these exploits. Otherwise, if we don't even have enough training payments to enter the ‘ Sky Blazing Sky’ Refining Tower, how are we even going to discuss training in that Inner Academy? ” Atai stared at Xiao Yan attentively as he continued, ” If that is really impossible, we, new students, will be, would rather hand the so-called ‘New’ Student Dues Fees to Senior Xiao Yan than give them to those bastards! ”
’’Give me’ New Student Dues Fees? ‘ Isn't that mixing me into a class similar to older students? ” Xiao Yan smiled faintly. His finger gently touched his teacup, emitting a clear sound. After pondering for a moment, he smiled and said to Atai, ‘’Because the older students are blocking the exit and collecting honors, I think that/that some of us won't fall between the cracks. Why don't we do this? You'll go and gather all the new students. We'll hurry up soon. ’
” In that case, Senior Xiao Yan, thank you very much. If you need help in the future, this new batch of students will happily listen to Senior Xiao Yan's orders! ” Hearing this, Atai and the ten new plus students who followed him immediately rejoiced. They hurriedly bowed to Xiao Yan and quickly walked out of the pavilion house hall.
After seeing the new student leave, Xiao Yan turned his head, looked at Xun Er and the other two and asked, ” How did you all see this matter? ‘
’’ You are the leader of the group, You make a decision. However, we cannot be the unconquered lambs that allow those people to oppress, can we? ” Hu Jia frowned and said, ” Moreover, if you don't bother to intervene in this situation, the reputation, which you have accumulated among them new students with great difficulty, will be, maybe it might collapse soon, and you'll lose a lot of people's support. ”
’’ Elder Su said yesterday that/that there are many factions scattered within the Inner Academy. In the future, if we want to stay here for a long time, only the four of us might be a little weak. Now ... is a great opportunity to draw people in. By relying on your reputation among the new students, as long as you dare to take the lead and risk getting beaten up, there will probably be around eight or ninety percent of the new students willing to follow you. ” Xun Er voiced her thoughts.
” You want us to form our own faction? ” Xiao Yan was slightly dumbfounded as he spoke.
” In the end it will be better than joining someone else's faction. It should also be difficult for us to escape paying what is called ‘Tribute Fee.’ Since this is the case, why don't we gather everyone together. Although the strength of the new students is a little weak now, if we add a few dozen of us, an ordinary small group will, at the very least, not dare to come and disturb us anymore. No matter how people say it, it will save us a lot of trouble. ’Xun Er spread her hands and smiled as she explained.
’’ What Xun Er said could work. Rather than letting the new students assimilate with the other factions, why don't we try to gather them all together, and let them work for us. ’’ Wu Hao nodded slightly and agreed.
Xiao Yan knit his brows tightly. His hands repeatedly rubbed the teacup. Seeing his deep appearance, Xun Er and the other two did not dare to speak or interrupt him. They were quietly awaiting his decision.
’’ Hu .. ’’
The silence continued for several minutes before Xiao Yan finally let out a long sigh. He stood up and said in a deep voice, ‘’Alright, I will do as you guys suggest! Now is the best opportunity to embrace the new students. Once we lose this opportunity, it will be ten times harder if we want to ensnare them in the future! ’
”Go!”
As soon as he said these words, Xiao Yan waved his hand and stepped out of the front door. Xun Er and the other two exchanged glances with each other before immediately smiling and following Xiao Yan with quick steps.
