Everyone present was stunned when they heard the instructor’s words. Even Emperor-level powerhouses were injured when they tried to break in.
Yu Qing Qian furrowed her brows and asked: “The Emperor-level powerhouses from the Holy Academy and the Imperial Academy even failed and were injured when they tried to break in, why are we told to go? Wouldn’t that mean we’re sending ourselves to our deaths?”
The instructor remained smiling and explained, “Based on the judgement of the powerhouses from the Holy Academy and the Imperial Academy in recent years, people with a cultivation base Spirit King or below will not be rejected by the centre of the island if they enter. At most, they will encounter the danger of being attacked by some demonic plants and magical beasts, otherwise it’d be impossible for us to play with your lives.”
“If you want to explore the centre of Shui Wu Island, then why don’t the Holy Academy and the Imperial Academy send students who are under Spirit King to go in to investigate, but want us freshmen from the various Academies to complete it as a mission?” Yu Qing Qian continued to ask, puzzled.
If the Holy Academy and Imperial Academy wanted to use them only as cannon fodder, then there was no need for them to adventure in.
“The Holy Academy and the Imperial Academy also sent many students who were under Spirit King to enter, but they were all rejected by the centre of the island. Because the Holy Academy and the Imperial Academy used some tricks to occupy the island, the centre of the island was very rejecting of those who carry the same aura as the Holy Academy and Imperial Academy.”
The instructor paused, then said: “The Holy Academy and the Imperial Academy have also let several people who weren’t students of the school enter. One of them died, and the rest benefitted. This proves that as long as they do not carry the aura of the Holy Academy and Imperial Academy on them, then they can enter.”
“Then why doesn’t the two Academies continue to have them go in, but set this place as our testing mission grounds?” Yu Qing Qian asked.
The instructor couldn’t resist but twitch the corners of his lips—this Yu Qing Qian was truly difficult to deal with. However, he didn’t hide it and replied: “Those are just outsiders after all. Some of the people among your five Academies will be admitted into the Holy Academy and the Imperial Academy in the future as students. The mission right now is one, to temper you for the test, and two, also to not allow outsiders to take advantage of it, otherwise the two Academies would’ve cooperated with the Seven Great Clans and Three Great Empires.”
“So that’s how it is. Thank you, Instructor, for clarifying my questions.” Yu Qing Qian’s furrows brows smoothed out.
The teams that could enter the third mission were definitely elites among the Five Academies. Many of them would perform very well and would naturally be admitted to the Holy Academy and the Imperial Academy in the future. It was true that ‘wealthy water should not flow into the fields of others’.
“Instructor, what do you think is the fortuitous opportunity in this?” Huo Li Ruo continued to ask.
The instructor replied: “It’s hard to say. Most of the people who entered before brought out some very rare and precious spiritual flowers, spiritual herbs, or spiritual items. After all, the centre of the island hasn’t been developed before, so there must by many good things born from heaven and earth.”
“That’s true, the let’s go on this mission first.” Huo Li Ruo thought for a bit, then said with a smile.
“Mm, go ahead, but don’t be careless, safety comes first.” The instructor nodded and reminded.
“Yes!”
The team walked towards the centre of the island, and the instructor disappeared when he saw this.
The closer one got to the centre of the island, the more demonic plants and magical beasts appeared, and their strength was also increasing, but it was still within the range that Yu Qing Qian and her team could handle.
“No wonder the Elder of the Holy Academy said that there was a possibility that all of us would fail the mission. With so many demonic plants and magical beasts constantly intercepting, weaker teams definitely couldn’t reach the centre of the island at all.” Ji Ling Shuang said, killing the last magical beast that had been besieging them.
Xia Ying nodded: “Yeah, since we took the mission until now, we’ve encountered no less than thirty waves of attacks from the magical beasts and demonic plants, as if they had agreed on this.”
Yu Qing Qian narrowed her eyes and had a guess in mind, “Although the Emperor-level magical beasts and demonic plants here have an agreement with our powerhouses not to attack us, but they didn’t agree that they couldn’t let demonic plants and magical beasts Spirit King or below to besiege and attack us. Just think of this as a form of training too.”
