Battle Through The Heavens Season 5
Ch. 56 - Location of the Academy

When Xiao Yan and Xun Er arrived at the vice school head's study room, Hu Gan, they saw that there were already quite a number of people standing on the empty ground in front of them. These people are divided into several large and small groups. Each of them softly spoke while smiling. Among these groups, the three groups that each consisted of Bai Shan, Wu Hao, and Hu Jia, were the largest.

The appearance of Xiao Yan and Xun Er also caused the noisy open ground to become slightly calmer. Other than a small number of people, most of the gazes used to look at the two of them were filled with respect. In the Qualifying Competition a few days ago, Xiao Yan used a one-on-three tyrannical battle style to shock and block out all dissatisfied voices. Hence, his reputation had surpassed Bai Shan, Wu Hao, and the others despite having only arrived at the academy less than a month ago.

Xiao Yan and Xun Er directly passed through the human crowd and arrived at an empty spot near the front. They exchanged glances with Bai Shan and the other two. Except for Bai Shan, Hu Jia and Wu Hao nodded towards them. Their attitude is clearly much better than before. Clearly, the words that Hu Gan had said two days earlier were not ignored at all. When they had just entered the Inner Academy, a place where people were as strong as the clouds, it seemed like they would suffer a little if they were not more united. Although they were both haughty, they were not stupid. It would naturally be better if they did not have to endure meaningless suffering.

At this moment, the open field was also surrounded and filled with quite a number of other disciples. In the hearts of all the disciples in the outer academy, being able to enter the Inner Academy to train was an honor that caused many to become extremely envious. Countless people had worked hard towards this direction ever since they entered the academy. Therefore, every year, when disciples who had passed the Qualifying Competition entered the Inner Academy, there would be many people who had come to see them off, or just to see them.

Ten minutes after Xiao Yan arrived at this place, the tightly shut door of the study room was opened. Vice School Head Hu Gan and a few old men slowly walked out. When the people in the open ground saw them arrive, the private whispers in the open ground gradually became silent. A moment later, it was completely silent.

Hu Gan's gaze slowly swept over the fifty disciples in the open field. When he saw nothing was missing, he nodded in satisfaction. With a single step forward, he clearly said: "Pupils, today is the day that all of you will enter the Inner Academy. I'll congratulate you all here. Your hard training has finally reaped results. I believe that after entering the Inner Academy, all of you may not be a match for the training methods there; however, there is one thing that I am very sure of. That is, there, you will be able to activate your own potential as far as there, to, I am not exaggerating, to, you only need to stay in the Inner Academy for one year and you will change completely. There may be those among you who know some students in the Inner Academy. After all, they sometimes had the permission to exit the Inner Academy. Therefore, all of you should understand how much distance there is between the strength when the disciple exits and when they first enter."

When they heard Hu Gan's words, there were some disciples in the open field who slightly nodded. Clearly, they had to interact with the students who had come out of the Inner Academy. The majority, however, had faces filled with anticipation and excitement. What Hu Gan said was what they were after. Wasn't it their goal to pursue greater strength as they struggled to enter the inner academy? They believed that regardless of how strange or difficult the Inner Academy's training methods were, they would endure all the way!

Being able to stand out within the Jia Nan Academy proved their talent and hard work. The people who were able to stand here were not those who thought that strength would just come without any effort.

"The Inner Academy is the core of the Jia Nan Academy. Due to the need to keep its location a secret, most of the disciples in the Outer Academy, as well as the instructors, were unaware of its exact location. Therefore, we will send you to a certain place." Hu Gan smiled. He raised his head and looked at the distant blue sky. At that place, ten black shadows flew over. A moment later, the black shadow gradually became larger. They were surprisingly ten enormous Griffins.

The ten Griffins carried their enormous dark shadows as they passed through the academy. Finally, they stopped in midair above Xiao Yan and the other disciples. They flapped their wings and a strong wind shot everywhere, fanning the disciples below until some of them started to sway.

"Griffin's? Don't tell me that the Inner Academy is too far from here?" A flash of surprise flashed across Xiao Yan's eyes as he looked at the Griffin hovering above.

Hu Gan waved his hand towards the Griffin in the sky. Immediately, a dark shadow began to press towards the ground. Finally, the ten Griffins landed on an empty spot not too far away after a strong wind blew past. Everyone's gazes observed them, only to find that there were two people behind each Griffin, which pushed them.

"good. Time out. All students please. Five people for one group." Hu Gan pointed to Griffin and said with a smile after seeing that they had landed.

When they heard Hu Gan's words, the disciples in the field immediately turned around. They were like a pack of ferocious beasts as they rushed to the open ground, after which they looked like fleas as these impatient people climbed onto the huge backs of each Griffin, after which they looked like fleas, heard the sound of ‘suo suo’ as they did it. However, the moment their feet stepped on Griffin's back, the somewhat slippery fur caused them to suffer. Some people whose feet were unstable immediately slipped and fell. Their bodies smashed into the rocky ground, causing impact sounds to appear repeatedly.

"Ha ha, young man, don't try to be brave. There's a chair placed on the Griffin. Don't fantasize and try to stand on his back. It was something that only those who possessed the strength of a Da Dou Shi could do." Hu Gan laughed out loud. He immediately turned his head towards Xiao Yan and the others and said: "The big five. The five of you will be one group. Go upstairs."

"Uh?" Xiao Yan and the four others were shocked upon hearing this. He did not expect that Hu Gan would actually arrange for the five of them to be together in a single group. They hesitated for a moment. Other than Bai Shan, who had fused his brows, the others nodded indifferently.

Behind Xiao Yan, Xun Er and the others also flashed to the Griffin at the same time. The four of them also did not borrow any help as they immediately stood upright and high on their Griffin's back. This strength was indeed worthy of being a top five ranked Qualifying Competition.

After seeing the appearance of these five people, Hu Gan and the other old man beside him took a look at the empty land. When they saw that everyone had boarded their Giffin, they exchanged glances with each other and nodded. Hu Gan waved his hand. He and the other three old men moved and soared into the air. Their shoulders shook and four pairs of beautiful Dou Qi wings stretched out. Each pair of Dou Qi wings flapped, and their bodies hung in the air motionlessly in front of the many envious gazes from below.

Being able to agglomerate and form a pair of Dou Qi wings and fly freely had always been the dream of many cultivating.

"We will personally take you there." Hu Gan stared at the open ground from above in the sky and smiled. He waved his hand and the people, who were riding on the Griffin, let out sharp whistles. Immediately, the Griffin suddenly flapped their wings and their massive bodies slowly rose into the air, accompanied by a shrinking shadow, they rose up from the ground.

"Xiao Yan, Xun Er, we wish you all the best! If your performance at the Inner Academy is outstanding, you will get some time off." A voice suddenly sounded from below as Griffin rose into the air. Xiao Yan and Xun Er lowered their heads to take a look. It was actually Instructor Ruo Lin. At this moment, Xiao Yu, Xiao Ning, and Xiao Mei had raised their heads to look at the group of Griffins, which were rising ever higher. They waved towards Xiao Yan as they watched him take a look.

As Griffin's wings flapped rapidly, the human figure below became increasingly smaller. In the end, they were almost the size of ants. Looking down at the entire Jia Nan Academy from this height in the sky, one could see every location in their line of sight.

The ten great Griffins flapped their wings in the blue sky, flying towards the endless stretch of mountains behind the academy. In front of the Griffin flew Hu Gan and the three old men. They formed a four-sided shape that surrounded the entire Griffin formation within. A powerful Dou Qi appeared outside of their bodies. No matter how wild the wind blew, it did not even touch their bodies.

"The Inner Academy is indeed not within the Jia Nan Academy. Don't tell me it's located in the boundless mountains behind the academy?" Xiao Yan softly muttered as he looked at the Jia Nan Academy as it disappeared from his sight.

"There's a rumor that the location of the Inner Academy is a big secret. Even some disciples who had exited the Inner Academy, would not be able to find the location of the Inner Academy if they did not have Griffin trained for the purpose of charging them in and out." Xun Er smiled. A faint golden light seeped out from his body, completely blocking the wild wind that was blowing towards him from the front.

"Do you all know what is special about the Inner Academy?" Xiao Yan turned his gaze towards Hu Jia and the other two, leading to break the stiff atmosphere. Since the Vice Principal asked them to be on the same Griffin, it meant that they were already one group. Since this is the case, it is a must to release the tension in the relationship between them no matter how small.

"Grandfather never mentioned anything about the Inner Academy to me, so I'm not sure either. However, every time we see a disciple come out of the Inner Academy, their strength all increases sharply compared to the time they entered before." Hu Jia glanced at Xiao Yan. He also knew Xiao Yan's intentions. He finally opened his mouth to reply after recalling Hu Gan repeatedly reminding him not to ruin their relationship.

"I don't know either. I very rarely care about these things." Wu Hao also shook his head. As a battle-crazed person, he had spent most of his time in the past chasing and killing people in the ‘Black Corner’ Region who had strayed into the limits of the Jia Ma Academy. Where could he find the time to think about the Inner Academy?

"Don't we naturally know when we get there?" Bai Shan said weakly. Although he knew a little, he was unwilling to share this information with Xiao Yan. He earnestly wished for the other party to suffer a little more.

Xiao Yan looked at Bai Shan, who was crossing his arms in front of his chest, deeply. However, he did not continue to ask anything else. The guard he felt towards this person in his heart had become much denser.

Xiao Yan shifted his gaze from Bai Shan. He stared at the lush green ocean under the trees below them, which quickly flashed by. He breathed a deep breath in his heart. Inner Academy is ‘Fallen Heart Flame’ really in this place?
