Chapter 192 The End is also the Beginning.
Xiao Se gently touched Zhu Zhuqing's head and smiled, "I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, these guys are all great Douqi masters with Douqi armor, and I am using beast fire. With the power of the fire under special control, they will at most be in a mess."
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that people would die. After all, the only taboo in this "Fire Energy Hunting Competition" was killing. If someone died, Xiao Se would be in big trouble.
After a while, the flames gradually died down. The thirty-odd-old students who were originally handsome and dressed in bright and beautiful clothes were now roasted like chickens, with their bodies all black, tattered, naked, and their hair curled up. If you didn't know, you would think they were black primitive men jumping out of the coal pile!
They would have been exposed if it weren't for the thick smoke produced by the purple fire acting as a mosaic.
"Puchi!" Looking at the scene in front of him, Xiao Se couldn't help but burst out laughing.
When Zhu Zhuqing and Han Yue saw this scene, they, who were usually cold and serious, couldn't help but twitch their lips. They covered their red lips with their hands and tried hard not to laugh out loud.
Hearing Xiao Se's laughter, the old students reacted quickly. They immediately became a mess, grabbed the pitiful tattered pieces of cloth to cover their sensitive parts, and ran towards the forest exit, shouting: "Ah, I will come back."
"Zhu Qing, Han Yue, let's go." Xiao Se said.
"Don't be so reckless next time." Zhu Zhuqing put her jade hand into Xiao Se's waist and pinched it hard, saying coquettishly.
"Don't worry, I think they won't dare to surround us again next time." Xiao Se said with a wicked smile.
As they talked, Xiao Se and the other two leaped and disappeared from the spot, heading quickly toward the forest exit.
This is an open area without any rocks.
The endless forest was stopped in this rocky area.
There are two hillsides in the rocky area, one of which is dotted with irregular rocks, and on each rock, many people are sitting or standing. These people are not young, all around 24 or 25 years old.
On another slope, there was a huge stone platform. On the platform, two old men and a young girl were sitting. They were Elder Su and Elder Qing whom Xiao Se had seen before, as well as the little medical fairy who became an elder and entered the inner courtyard first.
Around them sat a few middle-aged men with calm auras. They were the managers whose positions were second only to the elders.
"Strange, logically, the old students should have come back by now. How come it's been so long and there's no one here?" Seeing that there was no one at the exit of the forest, Elder Su murmured in a low voice with some confusion.
"Maybe they are in big trouble." Hearing Elder Su's words, the Little Medical Fairy rarely showed a gentle smile in front of outsiders and said with a sweet smile.
"Big trouble?" Hearing this, Elder Su was stunned, and then asked in surprise: "Are you talking about Xiao Se?"
The little medical fairy nodded slightly.
She knew very well Xiao Se's strength. Even without using the magic sword and secret techniques, she was not qualified to be his opponent unless she reached the level of Dou Wang.
At this time, freshmen began to come back one after another. Most of them had bitter faces. The reason was that they were taught a lesson by the old students and their fire energy was taken away! More than
ten minutes passed, and a few old students finally came back. Like the freshmen before, their fire energy was also taken away, without exception.
"Elder Su, Elder Qing, Elder Little Medical Fairy, I have found out clearly that it was a new student named Xiao Se who brought his three-man team to steal all the fire energy from the old students. Now the old students have gathered thirty or forty people and are besieging the team that Xiao Se is in." One of the stewards said respectfully to Elder Su and the other two.
"Ridiculous, this is too outrageous!" Elder Su scolded.
There were only fifty old students in total. At this moment, he heard that thirty or forty people were besieging Xiao Se. This was very exciting!
As an elder of the inner courtyard, Elder Su liked the students to fight with each other as long as the students' lives were not endangered. Fighting meant there would be pressure, and only pressure could generate motivation for cultivation.
Of course, Elder Su didn't dare to say the latter sentence because the Little Medical Fairy was also beside him.
"Old Su, do you think we should go over and take a look? I hope nothing happens." Elder Qing frowned and said hesitantly.
"Don't worry, Xiao Se is a very powerful guy. Even the Dou Wang can't do anything to him. Moreover, they seem to have returned." Hearing what the two elders Su and Qing said, the Little Medical Fairy smiled indifferently.
As Little Medical Fairy finished speaking, the familiar figures of Xiao Se, Zhu Zhuqing, and Han Yue gradually appeared in everyone's sight. Behind them, a group of black young men with grass leaves tied to their bodies followed from a distance. From a distance, they looked like savages in the deep mountains and old forests.
Upon seeing Xiao Se and the other two coming, Elder Su, Elder Qing, Little Medical Fairy, and other senior members of the academy spread their wings of fighting spirit and flew in front of Xiao Se and the others.
"Xiao Se, I heard that there are thirty or forty senior students besieging you. Where are they?" Elder Su asked anxiously. He was afraid that Xiao Se would break the academy's rule of not killing people in a fit of impulse.
Hearing Elder Su's question, the two beauties Zhu Zhuqing and Han Yue smiled at the same time.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Seeing Zhu Zhuqing and Han Yue laughing, Elder Su vaguely felt that something was not right.
"Yes, Elder Su, the group of dark guys hiding in the haystack at the back are the old students." Xiao Se pointed while holding back a smile.
Hearing this, Elder Su took a closer look and recognized several familiar faces. Then he couldn't help but twitch his mouth. His clothes were gone, his hair was burnt, and his whole body was burnt black. This was too... miserable.
At the same time, the old students who were waiting around were also gatherers. When they confirmed that the black guy hiding naked in the haystack was his former classmate, they all laughed. The old students who participated in the "Fire Energy Hunting Competition" this year were unlucky.
"Ahem." Elder Su coughed lightly, was silent for a moment, raised his head, and slowly said, "Little guy, you freshmen have won this 'Fire Energy Hunting Competition'."
A soft voice rang out in this open area full of rocks, causing the scene to quiet down slightly. Everyone in the scene turned their eyes to Xiao Se.
They all knew that this year, a monster came to the inner courtyard.
The days ahead will not be so peaceful.
The end of this "Fire Energy Hunting Competition" means a new beginning.
