Battle Through the Heavens Chapter 457 – Reward

Chapter 457: Reward

Elder Sus somewhat old voice slowly reverberated, causing all the fights to pause at this moment. Those older students of the Inner Academy on the mountain slope opened their mouths slightly. They wanted to say something, but they were unable to say anything.

Oh!

The silence outside the forest continued for a while before those unmoving students could no longer resist the wild joy in their hearts. They let out a loud cheer. In their excitement, some of the new students did not even care about gender as they hugged the companions who stood beside them. Their five to six days of difficult struggles had finally paid off. How could they not rejoice?

A smile also surfaced on Xiao Yans pale-white face as he heard the happy cries that sounded from behind him. He held his chest and softly coughed a couple of times. He turned his head and eyed Xun Er and the other two, whose faces were also filled with joy. With a smile, he said, Looks like we do not need to hand over the things that we worked hard to come by,

Xiao Yan ge-ge, are you alright? Xun Er hurriedly took two steps forward when she saw Xiao Yans expression. She supported him and asked with heartache.

Its nothing. I am just out of strength. Xiao Yan waved his hand. The power of the Angry Buddha Lotus Flame was not small, and its consumption of Spiritual Strength and Dou Qi was really too great. With Xiao Yans current strength, he could only use it once in his prime condition. If he tried to forcefully use it a second time, he might descend into an unconscious state due to the exhaustion of his strength.

It is really unexpected that you really have some tricks. No wonder Xun Er constantly bore you in mind. It really is a pity... Hu Jia carelessly patted Xiao Yans shoulders. Fighting side by side was usually the best way to improve the relationship between people. After these few days of living together, her heavy grudge that was formed because of Xiao Yans tough attack during the Qualifying Competition had completely disappeared. From the bottom of her heart, the various things that Xiao Yan had shown these few days had really let her admire him.

Xun Ers sight is indeed not bad. However... I will work hard to catch up to you in terms of training. Wu Hao raised his head and his mouth pulled a somewhat stiff arc toward Xiao Yan. Clearly, this battle crazy person, who had a withdrawn character and was excessively obsessive in training, had seldom given anyone else a smile.

Xiao Yan smiled. He laughed and said, Dont push all the credit onto me. I know my own strength. Without your help, I would not be able to make it this far regardless of how strong I am. A lonely hero would not be able to walk far here and is also not suitable to be here.

Hu Jia and Wu Hao quietly nodded when they heard this. Not being proud because of success. The insolence and wild arrogance that a young person usually possessed seemed to be unrelated to this precocious young fellow. This trait really caused them to marvel.

Elder Su, we have not lost!

Just as Xiao Yan was speaking, a dissatisfied voice suddenly sounded out. Everyones gaze swept around. It was actually emitted from Luo Hou, who was seated with his butt on the ground. At this moment, the latters face was still flushed red. Clearly, his pride could not accept being defeated by the hands of a Da Dou Shi.

Thats right. We have not lost. We can still fight!

The other four members of the White Demon Group also cried out together, echoing their leader after hearing him speak. From the appearance of the earlier fight, as long as they were given enough time, the new students would be completely defeated. Therefore, they were naturally unwilling to end up receiving a situation where they had lost.

All of you shut up! Elder Sus expression was solemn as he cried out coldly.

Seeing that Elder Su had become angry, everyone hurriedly and wisely shut their mouths. They dared not say anything, including Luo Hou.

If I had not intervened earlier, would you still have a life to be sitting here? Elder Su turned his head around, and asked Luo Hou sternly, whose face was filled with dissatisfaction.

Luo Hous expression turned white. He clenched his teeth, but became dispirited a moment later. He clearly knew that if Elder Su had not intervened, it was likely that the Inner Academy would no longer have a student called Luo Hou.

A loss is a loss. What excuse do you need to find? Elder Su snorted coldly. His gaze looked all around him as he said in a deep voice, I have already said that the Fire Energy Hunting Competition this time around is already over. If you are still not satisfied, you can directly issue a challenge to the new students one month after they enter the Inner Academy. As long as they agree, the Fighting Arena of the Inner Academy is open anytime. However, for now, all of you should shut your mouths.

Hmph.

Elder Su glanced once at Luo Hou before sweeping his gaze over at Xiao Yans group once again. Only then did his expression become softer as he said, As the victors of this years Fire Energy Hunting Competition, all the new students present will each obtain twenty days of Fire Energy. Xiao Yan, Xiao Xun Er, Hu Jia, and Wu Hao will each obtain an additional Green Fire Crystal Card and thirty days of Fire Energy.

Green Fire Crystal Card?

There was some noise from the mountain slope upon hearing the words that had popped out of Elder Sus mouth. Numerous envious gazes swept over Xiao Yans four man group.

Green Fire Crystal Card? What is that? Xiao Yans four man group, however, were somewhat at a loss with regards to this so-called Green Fire Crystal Card. They exchanged glances with one another, feeling a little uncertain.

Ke ke. Within the Inner Academy, the Fire Crystal Cards, from the bottom to the top, are divided into black, blue, green, red, and purple colors. The black-colored Crystal Card in your hands is the lowest grade Crystal Card. This kind of Crystal Card can only give you the qualification to train in the first and second levels of the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower. The blue card has the qualification to enter the third and fourth level and it continues on like this.

If one wanted to raise the Crystal Card grade, one would need to exchange for it with Fire Energy within the Inner Academy. Usually, one would need to pay a hundred days worth of Fire Energy to exchange the black-colored Crystal Card to a blue-colored Crystal Card. In order to change a blue-colored Crystal Card to a green-colored Crystal Card, one would need two hundred days of Fire Energy... Now that you have obtained the Green Fire Crystal Card as a reward, it is equivalent to you saving three hundred days of Fire Energy. This is not a small sum. Among the older students of the Inner Academy present, most of them are currently holding a blue-colored Crystal Card, with the exception of Luo Hou, who coincidentally changed his blue-colored Crystal Card to a green-colored Crystal Card last week. Elder Su smiled and explained after seeing the doubt of Xiao Yan and the others.

Three hundred days worth of Fire Energy? Only after hearing this number did Xiao Yan and the others understand why the gazes of those around them were filled with envy. They had snatched from all of the older students in the forest until the latter were left with nothing. Adding that to this reward, each of their Crystal Cards had only just exceeded a hundred. From this, it could be seen that there should be some difficulty obtaining Fire Energy within the Inner Academy.

Once Elder Su had finished explaining, he shook his hand and four green-colored Crystal Cards appeared in his hand. He flicked his finger and the cards shot toward Xiao Yans four man group, finally coming to a suspended stop in front of them.

The reward is already in there. Draw all the Fire Energy in your Black Crystal Cards over. After that, hand the Black Crystal Cards back to me.

Xiao Yan and the others quickly did as they were told when they heard what he said. A moment later, they handed over their Black Crystal Cards, which had become empty, over to Elder Su.

Elder Su nodded slightly when he received the black-colored Fire Crystal Cards. He smiled and said, Alright. Since you have already successfully completed the Fire Energy Hunting Competition, follow me into the Inner Academy. Once he finished speaking, he took the lead to turn around, and slowly walked toward a stairs made of rock fragments that led up the mountain slope.

We can finally enter the Inner Academy... it truly wasnt easy. Ah. Xiao Yan let out a long sigh when he saw Elder Sus back. He did not know just how much effort they had used in order to enter the Inner Academy. First, there was the Qualifying Competition, then there was the Fire Energy Hunting Competition. This Inner Academy... was indeed not as easy to enter as he had thought.

Lets go.

Under everyones gazes, Xiao Yan waved to Xun Er and the others and lead the way, following behind Elder Su as he climbed up the stairs.

The fragmented rock stairs could not be considered to be very high. Xiao Yans group managed to ascend to the last step after merely one to two minutes. After which, they raised their bodies and stood at the peak of the mountain slope. Their gazes swept around once in front of them. The scene, which appeared in front of them, caused them to slowly inhale a breath of somewhat icy-cold air.

This is the Inner Academy? A soft mutter was emitted from the mouths of those new students on the mountain slope.

Behind the mountain slope was an extremely big basin with a depression. The shape of this basin was like it had been smashed and formed from an enormous rock falling from the sky...

Tall buildings stood within the basin. Looking down from high above, everyone was able to see numerous, flea-like shadows flashing and jumping above the buildings. Their gazes focused in front of them, only to realize that the size of this basin was strangely large. The edge of their sight could only see the tall buildings and a lush green color but not the other side of the basin.

It was difficult to imagine that there was actually such a unique ground hidden within the endless mountains behind the Jia Nan Academy.

Ke ke, little fellows, welcome to the place where the core of the Jia Nan Academy is located: The Inner Academy! Elder Su smiled as he eyed the shocked faces of the new students as he clapped his hands and spoke.

The strong people here... so many. A fanatic enthusiasm rose on Wu Haos face as he whispered to himself.

Xiao Yan helplessly smiled when he heard this. This fellow was really without a doubt a fighting maniac...

Xiao Yan lifted his gaze and slowly swept it across the enormous basin. A moment later, he inhaled a deep breath of air as he muttered in his heart, Fallen Heart Flame... is it really here? Hopefully, you will not disappoint me.

Alright. Since the Hunting Competition has concluded, all the new students, follow me back to the Inner Academy. I will help you all settle in. After that, you will all truly be members of the Inner Academy. Trust me. As long as you are able to persist here, you will feel that everything is worthwhile when you see your improvements when you finally leave this place. Elder Sus gaze paused on Xiao Yans group as he slowly said.

All the new students nodded lightly. From those older students, they were able to discover just what kind of great benefits they would obtain if they trained in this Inner Academy!

Lets go! Everyone, follow closely!

Elder Su waved his hand. His body turned into a vague shadow as he swiftly rushed toward the enormous basin. Behind him, all the new students also immediately moved their bodies. Like locusts in transit, they rushed down from the mountain slope. Numerous excited bellows lingered over this place and did not disappear for a long time.
