The Welcome address

Hu Mei feeling so haughty decided to approach her. Ru Yuo with her ability could tell that the guy approaching was of intention to make advances to her.

So she did her best to avoid and ignore him, but surprisingly enough, as she was about to slip pass.

Hu Mei grabbed her by the hand with the intention of making advances to her like he did with other girls, but he was shocked when Ru Yuo gave him a slap.

Ru Yuo got irritated by Hu Mei's behavior and decided to let hell loose.

"I'm sorry for that, but I don't appreciate strangers taking advantage of me", she said.

As she was about to walk away, Hu Mei's escorts wanted to hit her for slapping a royal, but Hu Mei told them to let her be.

For the first time, Hu Mei paid for his misconduct.

"That girl is really my type", he said smiling as though nothing happened.

Luckily for Ru Yuo, it wasn't long before she saw them standing by the principal's mansion.

"Where were you guys, I've looking around for the both of you", she asked with concern.

"Is everything okay?", Gui Shan asked seeing the look on her face.

She the narrated what transpired between her and Hu Mei not aware of his name or royal.

"I couldn't bear him take advantage of me", she said.

"It's okay, but promise us that next time you won't involve in a fight, but go straight to the academy board", Gui Shan said.

"Okay", she replied with a smile on her face.

"And who is this young man standing close to you", she asked.

"His name is Wan Fei, he also came here for the entrance examination and was showing us around", Tang Tang said.

"That's nice", she replied.

The four of them continued discussing and sharing their experiences so far. Gui Shan and Tang Tang narrated their horrible experience with Hu Mei.

Ru Yuo felt pity for them not knowing that it was the same guy that approached her.

"All these royals seem to be full of themselves, I won't allow anybody hurt you guys", she said out of concern.

Their discussion was finally cut short by the sound of the school bell which rang.

"Let's hurry and go to the assembly spot, it seems the school authorities just called for a general meeting", Wan Fei said.

They all followed Wan Fei as he Led the way to the assembly spot. The three youngsters were already getting a taste of life in Guiyi academy.

They arrived at the assembly ground, and to their surprise, they found out that a good number of people came for the examination that year.

Indeed the competition is going to heat up and only the strong and talented get to qualify as a retained student.

So many royals and rich-spoilt looking brats were present, infact it was a grand gathering.

Clearing the throat, an old man spoke.

"I'm Zhan Ming, Principal of Guiyi academy", the old man said.

"Good day principal Ming", they chorused together.

"I believe each and every one of you know the importance of this entrance examination, it determines whether you stay or leave", 

"I'm aware that most of you are scholars and royals, but don't let that get into your head, anybody can be disqualified', Principal Ming said.

"Guiyi academy is one of the best in the whole of Wushu province", the principal continued.

"Three wings make up the Guiyi academy, we have the;

'Purple cloud wing', with Yang Jun as their master.

'Crimson lion wing', with Huang Ju as their master.

'Silver eagle wing', with Lin Fei as their master.

"Put it in mind that the entrance examination is more like a test, and you all would be evaluated and screened. Do your best", he added.

Considering the fact that both Gui Shan and Tang Tang came from a poor village many royals stared at them with amazement as one could tell that from their clothes.

Some already concluded that  they wouldn't even cross the first round before they would be screened out.

"I can't believe some peanuts and locals dream of making into Guiyi academy", Hu Mei said scornfully as he made mockery of them.

Other royals present laughed in support of him.

Gui Shan and Tang Tang couldn't stand it, they felt humiliated and downtrodden.

They both left the gathering in shame as they covered their face.

"Is it a crime to be from a poor background. These guys you said are poor worth more value than you rich scums", Ru Yuo fired back at Hu Mei.

She quickly ran after them and consoled them.

"Don't be bothered by what those fools think, I think you guys are great and the world would know your worth one day", Ru Yuo said.

Ru Yuo's statement put smile back in their faces, they discussed happily as they headed for the dorm room.

"How are you anticipating the test tomorrow?", Ru Yuo asked them both.

"I think I would stand out", Gui Shan said.

"I think I would be the best of all, isn't that true Gui Shan?", Tang Tang asked.

"Yes indeed! I trust both of you, wish you luck in tomorrow's examination", Ru Yuo said as she headed to the female's dorm.

Gui Shan and Tang Tang then headed to the male's dorm and to their surprise, the were the first to arrive back.

They were happy that they didn't make any spar with anyone and decided to enjoy the peace for some time before others return.

From the history of Guiyi academy, the Purple cloud wing have been known to be the best, followed by the Crimson lion, then the Silver eagles.

The master of the purple cloud wing has always taken pride in his students and always ensures that the best student out of each year's examination ends in his team.

"Gui Shan, do you think we stand a chance against these royals and scholars?", Tang Tang asked on a more serious note.

"Definitely, time shall tell", Gui Shan replied with confidence.

But now, different thoughts have been flowing through Gui Shan's mind, he thought of what wing he would end up in if he succeeds in passing the test.

He thought of how cool it would be if he enters into the purple cloud wing. He gave it a thought and smiled.

But it wasn't long before he got interrupted by Tang Tang's voice.

"I'll fight my way into the purple cloud wing and strive to be the academy's best student", Tang Tang said.

Meanwhile, for each wing only 3 students are accepted. Gui Shan and his friends need real luck to be able to qualify.

For Tang Tang, it has always been his dreams to make it into Guiyi academy. His dreams are finally coming into play.

Not long after their discussion, Gui Shan decided to excuse himself.

"I want to go and check something out, I'll soon return. Don't come looking for me", Gui Shan said in order not to get suspicious.

Meanwhile, Gui Shan went out of the dorm and searched for a serene place around the academy, where he can meditate and continue his training.

It didn't take him so long before he located a calm environment.

Although it was in the woods, he lives it.

He looked for a spot, sat down and began meditating. Soon he entered into his subconscious mind where he met Grandmaster Hun Feng.

He greeted the old man and grabbed a sit in the house as usual.

"Hope you're making progress with your training so far", the grandmaster said.

"Yes, I'm getting hold of the teachings and guidance you gave to me", Gui Shan replied.

"Good".

Speaking further, the old man warned Gui Shan to be careful with the friends he kept and those around him.

The grandmaster going back memory lane, told Gui Shan all what transpired during the early years of Gui Shan academy.

"I was one of those who built the academy and made it what it is today", the old man replied.

Gui Shan continued with his training that day as he was guided by grandmaster Hun Feng.

After sometime of intense training, Gui Shan decided to head back to the dorm. Upon entering that dorm, he found out that his fellow examinees have returned back.

While many were discussing of the great event that is to happen tomorrow, Gui Shan headed to his bed space.

It was already evening, many had to ,sleep and await the grand event that is to take place tomorrow.

Gui Shan lay on his bed close to Tang Tang and pondered on tomorrow's test and the format it would take.

Finally they all slept calmly in order to prepare for tomorrow's occasion.

Meanwhile in the girl's dorm, Ru Yuo was unhappy with the slap she gave to Hu Mei even when she was wronged. She finally slept off on thought of what the next day would look...
