Chapter 3736: 4.1336 Life Is Meaningless

What?! Everyone's faces immediately crumpled.

Lord Qiao Qiao frowned, sizing up Duan Tianya. "Where did you go last year?"

"The Ice and Snow Wasteland," Duan Tianya rolled his eyes, recalling the miserable way he was frozen like a dog that year, feeling utterly desolate. "Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you. When they throw you in, they'll seal your cultivation, turning you into an ant just like an ordinary person."

"What??" This time, everyone, including Qiao Qiao, collectively showed blank, bewildered faces. Is Royal Academy really that ruthless? Not only do they throw people into icy, snowy places, but they also seal their cultivation?! Their inner realms are blocked, no food or water is allowed, and the small pouch they carry cannot exceed three liters in weight, not even an extra piece of clothing...

"Mm," Duan Tianya nodded to them cheerfully. Every time he described the preliminary situation to the junior students, he would hear a chorus of wails and lamentations. "But don't worry, you can restore your cultivation as long as you concoct the antidote."

"If you cultivate properly, you can also break free from the spiritual consciousness restraints and successfully open your inner realm."

Everyone scoffed. Everything he just said, they knew without a doubt, wouldn't be simple. Given Royal Academy's cruel nature towards its students, this process was certainly very complex, and the path definitely rugged and bumpy!

Duan Tianya patted Ma Ta and Lu Yu's shoulders, cheering them on. "Don't worry, before you leave, they'll scan your entire body with special crystals. Even if you have a storage talisman or a storage bracelet or anything like that, it'll be confiscated!"

A Sense of Despair

Why does it feel less and less reassuring??

Everyone exchanged glances, simultaneously feeling as if their world had turned gray.

"The preliminary round will definitely maintain fairness and justice, and it will definitely make everyone feel... that life is meaningless!" Duan Tianya said with a laugh.

Everyone suddenly felt an urge to punch the person in front of them to death.

"Qiao Qiao, we're on the same team!" Duan Yue, Qi Xuanxuan, and the others all exclaimed in unison. Are you kidding? When we can't even bring a storage talisman, only by sticking with Qiao Qiao can we avoid starving or freezing to death! Qiao Qiao has her portable spirit domain, so no fear!

Qiao Mu looked at everyone with an unreadable gaze, her heart pounding, unsure whether to tell them that she felt if Dean Yun decided to be truly cruel, he might even seal her spirit domain as well? Impossible, impossible, the little girl silently comforted herself.

"Third Brother Duan, where do you think the Dean will arrange for us to go this time?" Qi Xuanxuan shivered, feeling that her next ten or so days would not be easy.

Duan Tianya looked at them with a strange gaze, his voice faintly saying, "No one knows what kind of crazy idea the Dean will have that day."

Everyone snorted in laughter, then their faces crumpled again.

"But don't worry."

"Enough! Third Brother, don't say those two words again; it makes me nervous," Ma Ta said with a bitter smile, waving his hand at him. From the moment he entered, Duan Tianya had said "don't worry" several times, but each time his words completely contradicted the meaning of "worry-free"!

"The Dean definitely won't make it easy for us."
