The Cave Ming Academy is situated outside the Twilight Forest, the largest demonic beast forest in the Saint Lan Empire.
At this moment, in the large clearing in front of the Forest of Twilight, many Dongming students were standing here, looking at the deep and dense forest and leaping to their feet.
"Six hundred and fifteen students of the Air Entrance Realm, come and gather here at once!" A teacher with a terrible old man's template said in a voice like a loud bell. "Find your teammates on the list and stand quickly!"
Yue Ge looked at his team list and sighed deeply.
That's right, this was the time when the Dongming Academy was organizing a large trekking - no, it was a demon beast forest adventure.
This event was an adventure for the Dongming students to enter the outskirts of the Demon Beast Forest in small teams to hunt demon beasts and pick spiritual plants under the escort of their teachers and senior seniors.
The teams are not divided by grade, but by realm. In the Spiritual Abyss Continent, the cultivation of human cultivators can reach the twelve realms of Body Tempering, Heart Refining, Entering the Air, Empty Human, Empty Xuan, Empty Sky, Ascending Cloud, Immortalisation, Immortal, Immortal Spirit, Immortal King and Immortal Dignity.
The rest of the eight tribes are also similar, except that they have different titles, or simply do not distinguish between realms but only between strength and weakness - the Asura, for example, do not distinguish between entering the void and becoming immortal, as long as they know they have become stronger, and nothing else.
There are a total of six hundred and fifteen students in the Cave Academy, twenty of whom are at the peak of the Sky Realm and fifty-five are at the high level of the Sky Realm.
Yue Ge is none other than a cultivator at the peak of the Air Entrance Realm.
And on the list of Yue Ge's team ...
The four words Jiu Fang Xuan Ling were clearly visible.
Jiu Fang slag ah!
What kind of luck is this? What kind of luck is that?
A year ago, Yue Ge was still at the lower stage of the Entering Air realm, while Jiu Fang Xuan Ling was at the higher stage of the Refining Heart realm.
Today, Jiu Fang Jie is only at the lower stage of the Sky Realm, but he should have already met his destiny - the old lady hidden in the dragon scale pendant - and started to take medicinal baths all day long under her guidance to awaken his Heavenly Bloodline.
Oh yes, the dragon scale pendant ... Speaking of this, Yue Ge remembered her brother's dark history during his first two years.
He was still a young teenager, and after coming into contact with cybernetics, he got a dragon scale pendant from somewhere and wore it solemnly, and came to his twin sister.
"The dragon has scales, and if you touch them, you will be angry." So he said, looking determined and fearless. "Little song! In this desperate world, you are my scales - those cruel adults who want to hurt you will have to step over my corpse first!"
He was practicing a certain move in mixed martial arts when he heard that, and said with a smile, "Don't say anything about hurting or not hurting, corpse or not corpse ... to abide by the core socialist values, you know?"
After a pause, and added with a smile, "By the way, remove the word 'small' chant, call brother."
Yes, back then, Yue Ge, too, was a two.
"... I'm the one who's your brother!"
"Who knows? Isn't there a saying that the one born after the twins is the brother?"
"But aren't you a girl?!"
"Oh, that's called a sister."
"..."
Looking back, the past was vivid in my mind, and Yue Ge's eyes showed some nostalgia.
At this time, Jiu Fang Xuan Ling, who had seen the grouping results, also saw her and walked over, pulling a man who looked like a dandy.
"Miss Koshi ...." Jiu Fang Jie said with a complicated expression.
Yue Ge smiled and said, "Ah la, isn't this Senior Jiu Fang? I haven't seen you for many days, how are you?"
The moment Jiu Fang Xuan Ling saw this smile, he subconsciously shivered.
In the past year, when Yue Ge was in a bad mood, he would call Jiu Fang Jie to the martial arts arena to have a good sparring session.
Echigo's opening line was a smiley one: I like Zhu and you like Zhu, so it seems we are very much related, so ... let's spar! No need to thank me yo this is what I should do!
Jiu Fang Slag: ...
Probably because he had never seen such a white lotus before, Jiu Fang Jie didn't feel anything wrong and he was beaten up and beaten up by Yue Ge.
No, not a beating. Can you call a pretty girl beating up the main character in a mystery novel a beating? It's called sparring, it's called mentoring!
Not to mention the fact that after each sparring session, Yue Ge would seriously talk about the key points of actual combat.
Of course, these points are not very useful, probably similar to the learning experience of the school bully - memorize more words, brush more questions, listen carefully in class and review in time after class, and so on.
Jiu Fang Xuan Ling has left a deep psychological shadow on this, and at this moment, when he looks at Yue Ge again, he has the illusion that his stomach is still faintly aching.
"This is ...?" Yue Ge looked at the flower boy.
"Oh, this is my roommate, Xiao Junyi." Jiu Fang Xuan Ling said with a dry smile.
"So it's Senior Xiao, I'm Yue Ge, please enlighten me."
This student, Xiao Junye, was none other than one of the protagonist's little brothers.
Speaking of which, we have to talk about Jiu Fang Xuan Ling's dormitory composition ...
Why is it that the ordinary qualified (initially Jiu Fang slag can enter the Dongming Academy? The first thing you need to do is to get into the best college for your son.
The students who live in the same dormitory as Jiu Fang Xuan Ling are all frogs who have been sent to Dongming by their families for a lot of money.
But, naturally, those who can be the protagonist's little brother are not real fops. They each have their own reasons for being a loser. They were poisoned by their father's concubine when they were young, or their spiritual roots were too weak to cultivate, or they were born with a weak body that would not live past 25 ... Of course, in front of the open-minded protagonist, these problems were not a problem and were soon solved.
The former fop became the most faithful little brother of Jiu Fang Jie, and would not hesitate to go through fire and water for him.
Xiao Junyi, the unlucky dude who was poisoned by his old man's concubine.
"I wouldn't dare to call that senior, the captain can just call me by my first name." Xiao Junye snapped his folding fan shut, and his peach blossom eyes blinked frivolously.
At first glance, he was a standard flirtatious prodigal son.
The other six scholars in the group also found their way over one after another. After the men were all together, it was time to enter the Twilight Forest.
The name of last year's leader, coupled with his strength at the peak of the Entering Air realm, made Yue Ge extremely authoritative in the group.
"This adventure, to be assigned to a team proves that we are destined to be together." Yue Ge smiled as he matched each team member's face with their name. "Since everyone has recognized me as this captain, I have to exercise the duties of a captain - so, in the Twilight Forest, if you treat what I say as if it falls on deaf ears, don't blame me for being unforgiving."
No one expressed dissent, nor did anyone show an expression of disdain. Yue Ge was still a little disappointed ... to hit his face or something, was it really a plot only for the protagonist?
As expected, not long after entering the Forest of Twilight, two students of the same class as Yue Ge expressed their disdain for Jiu Fang Xuan Ling.
"Hmph, why are there two Wanjinzi on our team!"
"That's right, what bad luck, surely we won't get a good score ..."
"Not necessarily, after all, the Yue Ge leader is on our team."
Wanjinzi, is what the scholars call those fops that the big families of the world pay a lot of money to stuff in.
Yue Ge glanced at Jiu Fang Jie's clenched fist and understood.
Oh, the protagonist was about to hit his face.
Yue Ge glanced at those two fellow students with some sympathy, they both seemed to be from the Wood Spirit class, right?
Speaking of which, one of them looked a bit familiar. Well, the name was familiar too ...
"Lu Ren Bing?"
"Huh? Captain you called me! What can I do for you?"
"Do you know Lu Ren-Ding?"
"Captain you know my cousin - yes, he did say that he fought with the captain at the Elite Scholars Selection Tournament eh!"
Sure enough.
"... Good luck with that."
"Captain??"
Captain don't talk in such a sullen tone! I'm panicking when you do that eh!!!
