Chapter 3738: 4.1338 A Unique Journey!

"Remember to hold onto these two items and don't put them into your inner realm. The Dean will tell you why later, okay?"

Watching the villainous Dean prancing in front of the pond, speaking with feigned cuteness, Qiao Mu felt an urge to fly over, kick him directly into the pond, and leave him stuck there. Mo Lian suppressed his laughter, reaching out to hold his wife's small hand, giving it a comforting rub. Lord Qiao Qiao had completely etched her violent tendencies onto her face. Her current expression read: I want to beat Yun Piaomiao severely!

"You must hold onto your identity token and ruby yourself," Elder Ke said, looking at the students with benevolent eyes. "After leaving the academy and going to Fengmu Forest, remember to take good care of yourselves." Poor children, your future will be so miserable...

Elder Ke handed the ruby and identity token to Ma Ta, who was next in line. Ma Ta snorted as he took them, muttering, "Don't think that just because you're smiling so kindly, I can't see the schadenfreude in your heart."

Elder Ke, with an innocent expression, continued to issue identity tokens and rubies to Little Fatty. "Did I?"

"It's too obvious," Qi Xuanxuan and Little Fatty said in unison. The two took their identity tokens and rubies, one after another, and stomped back to their original positions.

Dean Yun's Surprising Announcement

A quarter of an hour later, the villainous Dean, full of high spirits and a mischievous grin, stood before the pond again. With a cheerful smile, he said, "Dear students, you must be looking forward to this unique combat journey!"

Sorry, but no one in my family is looking forward to it...

"No need to panic, I will soon send everyone to the outskirts of Fengmu Forest." Dean Yun looked deeply at the group of students whose faces showed utter despair.

"Now for the important announcement! For all participants of this Tian Yuan Ranking preliminary round, to ensure that everyone undergoes trials, grows, supports each other, and progresses together in a fair and just environment, we will collaborate with several instructors to temporarily seal your spiritual consciousness! This will turn you into ordinary travelers who cannot access their inner realms!"

The new students, unaware of this detail, looked completely bewildered. The senior students, who already knew the academy's cruel ways, maintained their looks of utter despair.

"Additionally, each of you must take a Seal Pill before departing. This is for sealing your cultivation and spiritual energy."

A clamor erupted among the new students below... What kind of preliminary round is this? Are they even letting people live?! Aargh!

"Everyone, everyone, don't panic, don't panic!" Dean Yun said calmly. "As you all know, in our academy, besides the combat department, there are many auxiliary departments and even ordinary people who don't practice martial arts!"

"What I want to say now is that the number of people in each of your teams cannot exceed eight! Each team must have one Alchemist and one ordinary student. You can freely select anyone you fancy from the Qin Hall or student societies."

"The role of the Alchemist is very important! They are for unsealing your Seal Pills. The faster you unseal the Seal Pill, the more secure you will be in Fengmu Forest!"

"As for students without cultivation, your team must fully protect them! If they get injured, one thousand points will be deducted from each of you! The severity of the injury will determine further judgment."

"Now, you have half an hour to form teams and prepare your carried items. You will depart immediately after half an an hour."
