Chapter 157 Hunting Newcomer Competition!
The mountain looked close, but it actually took more than an hour to reach it.
When the group reached the foot of the mountain, the sun had already risen high in the sky, and the golden sunlight shone on the mountain, as if it were draped in a golden veil.
"move!"
Someone said excitedly, naturally wanting to enter the inner courtyard as soon as possible.
Elder Liu smiled, but then stopped.
Everyone looked at Elder Liu with curiosity.
Then, Elder Liu took out a crystal card and handed it to Leng Yun.
"What is this?" Leng Yun asked.
Elder Liu explained, "This is a Fist God Card, containing 1000 Fist God Points. Remember, this is the most precious thing in the Inner Court. All resources must be exchanged for Fist God Points."
Leng Yun had long heard of the importance of Fist God Points in the inner courtyard, and he carefully put the crystal card into his pocket.
Afterwards, Elder Liu gave everyone a card, but it was no longer the high-end crystal card like Leng Yun's; instead, it became a simple bronze card.
"Everyone who enters the Inner Academy will receive 2 Fist God Points. This is your initial asset in the Inner Academy. The rest depends on your efforts to earn more Fist God Points."
After Elder Liu finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
Each person only has two Fist God Points! Compared to Leng Yun's 1000 points, it's really a drop in the ocean. This is what it means to be inferior to others.
Before everyone could finish their sighs and exclamations, Elder Liu continued, "I haven't finished speaking yet. Even with these 2 points of Fist God Value, you might not be able to take them to the Inner Court."
After saying that, he turned around and pointed to the high mountain behind him, saying, "This mountain is called the Inner Court Mountain. Ten groups of Inner Court disciples are waiting for you on the mountain."
"What's going on? Are they welcoming us? I didn't expect the senior brothers from the inner courtyard to be so hospitable!" someone joked, eliciting a burst of laughter.
Elder Liu paused, his smile remaining: "You'll be crying soon. They're waiting for you, to snatch the Fist God Points from your hands."
Upon hearing Elder Liu's words, everyone was surprised and lamented.
"What? They're going to steal even our meager Fist God Points?"
"This isn't fair! They're inner court disciples, and there are more of them than us!"
Leng Yun said calmly, "There is no such thing as fairness or unfairness in this world. If you don't want to be bullied, you have to improve your own strength."
He's right. This is the principle he has always followed, and it's what has brought him to where he is today.
Elder Liu nodded in satisfaction at Leng Yun.
He continued, "This is an inner court tradition, it has existed since ancient times. Only in this way can you know what real hardship is, and only in this way can you be better trained. This can be considered your first lesson after entering the inner court!"
Elder Liu paused for a moment, then continued, "The people in the inner courtyard call this the Hunting Newcomer Competition. They also compare themselves to see who gets the most Fist God Points today."
"What?! A newbie hunting competition?!"
"Yes, they actually treated us freshmen like prey. They're inhuman."
"If you don't want to be prey, then you need to be stronger!" Some people were quite open-minded about this.
"By the way!" someone suddenly asked, "Can Leng Yun's Fist God Points also be stolen?"
Elder Liu nodded: "Of course, no matter how many Fist God Points you have, they will all be snatched away. Moreover, the people in the Inner Academy have already heard that some disciples have received Fist God Point rewards this year, and experts from all walks of life have come out to help."
Elder Liu wore a gloating expression, but the freshmen felt a chill run down their spines.
Only Nangong Jue, standing at the very front of the line, revealed a sinister smile.
"Hmph, Leng Yun, what's the use of getting so many Fist God Points? In the end, they'll all be snatched away by someone else!"
Leng Yun, standing in the middle of the group, was both amused and exasperated, never expecting that what he was holding in his hand wasn't even his own.
"Don't worry, Sister Murong, I will definitely not let anyone steal your Fist God Points." A tall freshman came over.
“Yes, Sister Murong, you should come with us. We’ll make sure you’re safe,” another boy said.
Murong Qin didn't speak, her head slightly lowered, her fair face still radiating a sweet charm with its two faint dimples.
The two boys, thinking that Murong Qin was in love, became even more unrestrained and started talking nonsense.
It wasn't until a purple fist aura gradually rose from Murong Qin's palm that the two of them were frightened and quickly left.
Elder Liu looked at everyone and said, "Alright, everyone can start climbing the mountain now. Once you cross this mountain, the inner courtyard will be right behind you. I'll take you this far. Don't worry, you'll only be attacked when you reach the mountainside."
Afterwards, everyone filed past, and when Leng Yun passed Elder Liu, Elder Liu called out to him.
"Elder Liu, is there anything else?" Leng Yun asked curiously.
Elder Liu nodded and smiled kindly, "You are the best freshman I have seen in all these years. You will definitely do very well in the inner courtyard."
Leng Yun gave a rare smile: "Thank you for the compliment, Elder Liu. However, there is something I would like to ask Elder Liu to do."
"You want me to take care of Fire Monk, don't you?" Elder Liu said with a smile.
Leng Yun nodded.
"Don't worry, Fire Monk and I are old acquaintances. Even if you didn't say anything, I would still take good care of him," Elder Liu nodded and said.
Leng Yun clasped his hands in thanks to Elder Liu and said, "Thank you very much, Elder Liu."
After saying that, he turned around and caught up with Murong Qin beside him, and the two of them embarked on the mountain path together.
……
There is an open space on the mountainside of the inner courtyard.
Several inner court disciples dressed in gray stood here.
"Brother Jin, those freshmen have gone up the mountain!" A man sent to investigate emerged from behind a grove of trees.
"Did you see Leng Yun?"
The man known as 'Brother Jin' asked; he was Li Sanjin, ranked 22nd on the Inner Court Boxing Championship list.
"I see, Brother Jin, Leng Yun is among them."
“Brother, this time we must take care of Leng Yun,” said Li Sanjin’s younger brother, Li Sanmu, who was ranked 23rd on the boxing champion list.
"Hmph, he actually killed my brother Ding Chang. I won't let Leng Yun get away with this either. I'll wipe out all 1000 of his Fist God Points!" Li Sanjin said viciously.
Li Sanmu nodded: "I'm just afraid that kid Peng Cheng will try to take it from us!"
“He’s only ranked 21st. If the two of us join forces, we should be able to deal with him!” Li Sanjin said with a smile.
There are 50 people on the boxing champion list. The top 20 are not allowed to participate in the hunting competition because they are too strong. So the highest-ranking person who can go up the mountain is Peng Cheng, who is ranked 21st on the boxing champion list.
After the two brothers finished speaking, they both revealed sinister smiles as they looked at the mountain path from which the new students were coming up.
Beneath the seemingly peaceful and serene mountains lie hidden endless dangers...
