C335 The Academy's Mission
"May I know why Elder Zhu is looking for me?"
Zhu Luo gestured for Wang Hao to sit down and talk to him. "Do you know how our human Three Great Academies trains geniuses like you?"
Wang Hao shook his head. Although he had joined the Qilin Academy for four months, he had spent most of his time training in Devil Suppressing Cave. He knew very little about the matters of the academy.
Zhu Luo explained, "For the freshmen like you who have entered the academy, you will usually stay in the academy for the first year. The points you get from entering the academy will be enough to exchange for the cultivation resources you need for the next year."
"The resources provided by the academy are a hundred times, a thousand times richer than all the resources in the outer domain. Ordinary students can at least advance one realm in the first year!"
Wang Hao was slightly shocked. An ordinary martial artist was not like him, who had a heaven-defying cultivation method, Nine Dragon Spell. If he could increase his cultivation speed by a third in a year, it would be considered hard work for him!
However, by using the academy's resources, he could increase his cultivation speed by three times!
"No wonder when I first entered the academy, the seniors would rather use underhanded methods to snatch the points of the new students!"
Zhu Luo continued, "But some of the new students have astonishing talent. If they were to cultivate in the academy for a year, it would be a waste of their room for advancement. Therefore, we will form a team with the seniors and go out to train."
Wang Hao nodded, "That's right. Cultivating from actual combat, their improvement speed will be faster!" He was the best example.
"So, I plan to arrange a mission for you."
Zhu Luo took out a letter from his Essence Ring and handed it to Wang Hao. "Take a look for yourself!"
Wang Hao opened the letter doubtfully and took out the letter. He had just read three lines of words when his expression changed.
The letter explained that half a month ago, in Cloud Peak Domain, one of the 36 outer domains. There were devil cultivators who had appeared. These warriors had killed and robbed. Nineteen villages, three towns, and one city had fallen. In the land that had fallen, whether it was eighty old women or eight months of children, none of them were spared.
The cultivation realm of the devil cultivators was extraordinary, there were many of them and they were extremely cunning. The Domain Lord of Cloud Peak Domain had led a group of local experts to chase and kill for a few months, but to no avail.
Helpless, the Domain Lord of Cloud Peak Domain had asked for help from the Holy Domain. The person in charge of the Holy Domain had decided to hand over the task of providing assistance to the Three Great Academies.
According to the news from the Cloud Peak Domain, these devil cultivators were all at the fifth level of the Heavenly Martial Stage, so the Qilin Academy had sent four people to investigate the situation.
Among these four men, Zhou Qian, who had the strongest cultivation base, was at the peak of the fifth level of the Heavenly Martial Stage. The other two were at the fourth level of the Heavenly Martial Stage.
The fourth man was a new student from the academy, and he was also Wang Hao's friend, Zhao Jun!
However, not long after Zhao Jun and the other three entered the Cloud Peak Domain, they encountered an enemy attack, and all four of them were captured.
After receiving Zhou Qian's distress signal, the Domain Lord of the Cloud Peak Domain immediately led a large group of experts to save them. However, that group of crafty demonic practitioners disappeared without a trace once again.
What was even more shocking was that not only did the Qilin Academy lose contact with them, even the teams sent by the Azure Dragon Academy and the Phoenix Academy to investigate the situation had also lost contact!
The Three Great Academies was furious and decided to send more experts to eliminate the devils.
"Elder Zhu, are you going to let me go to the Cloud Peak Domain?"
Zhu Luo nodded, "That's right, but you won't follow the main group."
Wang Hao was stunned for a moment and did not understand. "Why?"
Zhu Luo explained with a serious expression, "The troops sent by the Three Great Academies, the time of departure and the route of departure are confidential. Except for the higher-ups of the academy, no one knows their exact whereabouts!"
"But that's how it is. The troops of the Three Great Academies were attacked at the same time!"
Wang Hao immediately understood the hidden meaning in Zhu Luo's words. "You mean, someone leaked the secret? "
Wang Hao was shocked. The fact that the higher ups of Three Great Academies were all planted with spies was too shocking!
Zhu Luo nodded with an ugly expression. "At present, it's just a guess, but we have to guard against them! If there really is a spy, the whereabouts of the large group will not be concealed, so I'm going to send you to investigate the truth."
"Other than you, don't tell anyone else about your whereabouts!"
"Understood!"
Seeing Wang Hao agree, Zhu Luo smiled.
"This is your first time participating in a mission in the academy. You don't have to force yourself to complete it. No matter what happens, you have to protect your own life first!"
...
Wang Hao left. An old man appeared out of nowhere in Zhu Luo's room. It was the dean of Qilin Academy.
"Dean, do you think the elder who suggested Wang Hao participate in the trial is a spy planted by the enemy?"
The dean shook his head, "I have asked the old man of Black Fan Sect to investigate. There is nothing wrong with him. Judging from the current situation, the list of candidates from the Situation Breaking Ten Persons... Not only our academy, but also the Azure Dragon Academy and the Phoenix Academy. There are also elders who want the Ten-person Candidate to participate in this trial!"
Zhu Luo asked urgently, "Did they agree to it?"
"The Situation Breaking Ten Persons is of great importance. It is understandable for the elders to request the candidate's ability to be assessed. Just like us, the other two academies naturally agreed as well. However, they only sent one candidate."
Zhu Luo asked curiously, "The other candidate of our academy is Jia Houwei. This kid is not even a member of our academy. Naturally, we can only send Wang Hao. I wonder who the other two academies sent?"
"There are too many geniuses in the Azure Dragon Academy, so naturally, there are many candidates. As far as I know, they sent Lau Lang."
"Lau Lang? I have seen this person twice. Although he has only joined Azure Dragon Academy for two years, he has displayed astonishing talent. This is a good choice. What about Phoenix Academy?"
"Zhao Muer!"
Zhu Luo was stunned when he heard this name. Then, he smiled bitterly and said, "Dean, Zhao Muer has gone. If we send Wang Hao, will we..."
The dean smiled and said, "Just like what I said last time, let the young people settle the matter of the young people. We, the old men, should not get involved."
Zhu Luo said in a deep voice, "Dean, you know about Zhao Muer's situation. According to old woman's style, will she secretly kill Wang Hao?"
The dean was confident, "When old woman went crazy, it was indeed a headache. If it was three months ago... I would have thought about it more, but now, do you really think that there are twelve Divine Martial Peak Great Sovereigns? Did you accidentally walk and fall to your death?"
Zhu Luo remained silent. A hundred years ago, the disciple of Sword God Yaen San was killed by someone. Yaen San went crazy and killed twelve peak Great Sovereigns in a row, shocking the entire Holy Domain!
From then on, Yaen San was recognized as the number one person below the Sovereign Stage!
"But..." Zhu Luo was still a little worried. The dean waved his hand, signaling him to stop talking.
"Back then, Yaen San didn't have the family of the twelve Great Sovereigns, which is why he was extremely restrained. If something were to happen to Wang Hao, old woman would have to think carefully whether the fury of the Sword God would burn the entire Phoenix Academy to ashes!"
Zhu Luo pondered for a long time, "The Phoenix Academy is one of the three major foundations of mankind. What should we do if old woman relies on this?"
The dean was still smiling like the wind, "Are you afraid that a supreme expert will stop us? You have underestimated Yaen San. Killing twelve Peak Monarch in a row is a huge loss to the human race, but can you see a supreme expert stopping us?"
Zhu Luo was stunned. Just like what the dean had said, Yaen San had gone mad all those years ago. Not to mention the Sovereign Stage experts, they didn't even make a sound, as if they didn't see what was happening.
The dean sighed deeply, "If we can get rid of Yaen San's inner demon, the twelve Great Sovereigns can be killed. How can the Phoenix Academy not be destroyed? If Yaen San can get rid of the inner demons, why would the human and demon races need to plan for a hundred years? Why would they create the Situation Breaking Ten Persons?!"
The dean paused for a moment and continued, "It's very simple to make old woman not dare to make a move. Spread out the news that Yaen San has taken Wang Hao as his disciple!"
...
He did not hear the conversation between Zhu Luo and the dean. At this moment, his face was serious as he was thinking about how to carry out this mission!
Just now, a system notification sounded in Wang Hao's mind.
"Mission notification: Enter the Cloud Peak Domain and live together! Quest reward, unknown!"
Wang Hao muttered to himself, "A mission to let me live? In other words, as long as I step into the Cloud Peak Domain, I will definitely encounter a fatal crisis!"
"Most importantly, the mission is divided into two parts. The first part is the Cloud Peak Domain! It's useless to run away!"
Wang Hao suddenly laughed, "Does this count as a system warning? Although danger is unavoidable, I can prepare in advance! "
Wang Hao fell into deep thought, "Rootless Jade Pendant can activate two True Dragon Protections. It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to kill me, but the system still determines that I will be in danger!"
"I must make thorough preparations!"
Thinking of this, Wang Hao headed to an ancient building in the academy without hesitation.
This building did not have a name, but it was the favorite place for all the students in the academy, because all the cultivation resources were exchanged from here.
Wang Hao had a total of 170,000 points on him, and this was his first time using it.
After walking into this ancient building, Wang Hao did not see anyone. Just as he was feeling strange, his body was suddenly devoured by a spatial force.
The scenery around Wang Hao changed drastically. He fell into darkness, and around him floated a spatial Jade Cylinder that was glowing with white light.
Wang Hao stretched out his hand and took out a Jade Cylinder. A message entered his mind.
"Tiger Roar Forest, Profound Rank Grade One Martial Skill, 800 points."
"So this is how you exchange for resources."
Wang Hao scanned his surroundings and muttered, "Are these all martial skills? Unfortunately, I don't need them."
As soon as he finished speaking, all the Jade Cylinder disappeared in an instant, and what replaced them were numerous divine weapons.
Wang Hao was stunned for a moment, then he reacted. As long as he called out the required items, he would be able to see them immediately.
"Defensive Profound Artifact!"
The divine weapons disappeared, and this time, what appeared was a piece of defensive equipment...
