On the shattered Martial Arts Square, many students were filled with hesitation. Although they were all talents from various places, aside from the elite students of the Heavenly Level Academy, the students from the Earth, Xuan and Yellow Three Colleges were merely cultivators below the Innate level. Their strength was not very formidable. Going to the Demon Suppression City, where Demon Beasts wrought havoc, they did not have much ability to protect their own lives. They were more likely to become food for the Demon Beasts.
After considering this, many chose to retreat, but no one blamed them, for knowing that they lacked the strength yet rushing to the battlefield for momentary valor was not courageous, it was foolish.
