Battle Through The Heavens Season 5
Ch. 57 - Fire Energy Hunting Competition

The vast sea of trees housed various types of Magical Beasts within. Every now and then, there would be a ferocious aura from the Magical Beast coming out from within the sea of trees in an explosive manner. However, when this Magical Beast entered within a hundred meter radius of the group, it, they would be startled by the powerful force emitted from the barrier created by Hu Gan and the three elders until they retreated carefully.

Of course, this doesn't happen to everyone. As Magical Beasts spread widely in a concentrated manner in the vast endless mountains, there was naturally no shortage of extremely powerful creatures. Half an hour after the flying formation began to travel within the mountains behind the academy, there were some powerful Magical Beasts that were forcefully attacking the Griffin formation, and they were not, apart from the pressure released by Hu Gan and the other three people. At this moment, Hu Gan and the other three old men started to show their shocking strength. Every time they waved their hands, a powerful burst of energy shot up into the sky like lightning. Immediately, Xiao Yan and the others would hear a muffled sound, and the large-sized Magical Beast suddenly exploded into fresh blood and fell down.

As they flew, various types of ferocious Magical Beasts charged over, pouncing from behind and ahead. However, not a single Magical Beast could break through the blockade from Hu Gan and the other three.

Xiao Yan and the others stood on the Griffin. Their faces were dumbfounded as they watched the Magical Beast's body being shredded into pieces. From their Qi, most of these Magical Beasts seemed to have the strength to contend with any of the disciples present. Even if that was the case, they still turned into blood mist every time Hu Gan and the others waved. This kind of power actually caused people to turn green with envy.

"No wonder they need to escort us there. It was truly unexpected that there were so many dangers lurking in the mountains behind the academy. If we were to travel on foot through the forest, likely with the strength of another disciple, there would be hardly anyone who could come out alive." Xiao Yan laughed bitterly as he looked at the other blood-shape clouds from the explosion fifty meters away from their location. Previously, when the group had flown past the vast mountain range, it was, he was able to clearly sense that there was at least the aura of a 5th class Magical Beast or Dou Wang present in the dense forest below using his extraordinarily large Spiritual Perception. However, the Magical Beast, which had reached such a rank had obtained an intelligence that was not inferior to human intelligence. Hence, they were naturally able to sense the strength of Hu Gan and the others. Hence, they did not act like weaker Magical Beasts, attacking the Griffin formation recklessly. It was also fortunate that this high ranked Magical Beast knew what fear was. Otherwise, even with Hu Gan and the other three Dou Huang level experts escorting them, it was likely that this Griffin formation of theirs would not arrive at the destination unscathed.

A bloody mist accompanied them all the way as they continued to fly. Hu Gan and the other three were like sharp cones that tore their way inside the Magical Beast that came charging in all directions. The strength of a Dou Huang was so strong.

This almost boring flight continued for almost an hour before the Griffin formation's flying speed finally slowed down. When he sensed the decrease in speed, Xiao Yan swept his gaze in front of him. However, he was unsure when he discovered that, other than the bottomless abyss beneath their feet, other places were still endless green carpets where they could not see the edges. Forget the Inner Academy, not even a single human figure.

"What's going on?" Xiao Yan exchanged glances with Xun Er and the others. All of their faces were filled with doubt and confusion.

"Down!"

The sharpness in Hu Gan's eyes gradually disappeared. The powerful strength, which surged from within his body earlier, was quietly being pulled back into his body. He smilingly waved his hand, and ten Griffins flapped their wings as they slowly descended towards the mountain gorge below.

Griffins carried dark shadows and wild gusts of wind as they landed smoothly on the ground. Xiao Yan and the others saw the waving movements Hu Gan had shown them. They exchanged glances before jumping down from the Griffin and started landing and gathering on the empty ground. Their gazes looked around them while their faces were confused.

"Where is this place? Don't tell me that the Inner Academy is here? " After they landed on the ground, Hu Jia was the first to not stand it and questioned Hu Gan. When the others heard this question, they also turned their gazes towards Hu Gan. Clearly, they also wanted to know the answer.

"It's not easy to enter the Inner Academy." Hu Gan smiled faintly. Immediately, he slowly took ten steps forward under everyone's gaze. After that, his footsteps stopped. With a wave of his hand, waves of energy shot out explosively and arrived at the space in front of him. Strange scenes appeared almost instantly. They saw that when the energy shot past a certain empty area, it actually created a wave-like ripple. This ripple fluctuated rapidly. Finally, a large, pale silver-colored door, which was over seventy to eighty feet tall appeared out of nowhere.

Xiao Yan and the others were shocked when they saw the silver-colored huge door that appeared out of nowhere. Clearly, they did not think that this seemingly ordinary place would actually hide such a deep secret.

The silver-colored door carried a clear sound as it opened slowly before everyone's eyes. The scenery behind the door was also dense forest, as usual. It seemed that this forest in front of them was no different from what they had seen before.

"Follow me." Hu Gan waved his hand and took the lead to walk through the large silver-colored door. Behind him, dozens of disciples followed closely while putting on an expression filled with curiosity.

Xiao Yan did not walk forward. He stood at the back and looked at the people who entered the silver-colored door in front of him. After which, his gaze was once again shifted to the space outside that huge door. He was somewhat surprised to find that the people who had entered the silver-colored door seemed to have entered another space and simply disappeared into thin air.

"A strange place ..." This scene caused Xiao Yan to exclaim and shake his head. He recalled the spatial fold in front of ‘Buku’ Collection Hall and suddenly understood. The tactics of the super elites were indeed something that they were difficult to understand at their current level of strength.

After Xiao Yan exclaimed in his heart, he extended his pace and followed the group. After which, he passed through a large silver-colored door and he also disappeared.

The huge door slowly closed itself tightly after everyone, including the ten Griffins, entered past it. Finally, silver-colored energy ripples spread out, and the silver-colored huge door slowly disappeared until it completely disappeared. At this moment, this entire region had turned into a very ordinary forest.

"Ke Ke, Old Hu, you're always on time. We've always believed that we would allow you to escort a new student. How are the new students this year?" At this moment, one of the two old men smiled at leader Hu Gan and said when he saw a large group of people enter.

"Not bad. It's definitely a little better than last year's group." Hu Gan smiled and said: "It is really unexpected that it is your turn to carry out the task this year. It looks like it's gonna be exhausting."

"There's no choice." The two old men helplessly shook their heads.

"The five of you come." Hu Gan turned his body and gestured to Xiao Yan and the four others with his hands. When he saw that the five people had arrived by his side, he pointed towards the two old men and said: "Both are Elders in the Inner Academy. This was Elder Su, and this other person was Elder Qing. If you have any problems in the Inner Academy in the future, you can look for them. Ke ke, these five little fellows are the top five rankers in this year's Qualifying Competition. Their strength is not bad." These last two sentences were naturally spoken to Elder Su and Elder Qing.

"Oh?" The gazes of the two Elders carried an oddity as they swept over the five of them. Finally, they nodded and said: "Can get the top five at this age. Their potential was indeed much better than the last wave."

"Yo, pretty girls. Looks like there will be two more names in ‘Beauty’ Rankings in Inner Academy." After Xiao Yan and the four others came out, the eyes of the few young people standing behind those middle-aged people immediately brightened as they whistled and said.

"Shut your mouth. Anyone who says any more nonsense will cut the tower training time to five days!" Elder Su turned around and rebuked. The young men behind smiled mischievously as they immediately shut their mouths. Clearly, the reduction in the training time of the tower caused them to be extremely scared.

After reprimanding the group of young people until they did not dare to say anything more, Elder Su turned around. He faced Xiao Yan and the other new students as he slowly spoke: "You guys are all new here, so I hope that you all can get used to this place. That way, you will all benefit as much as possible. Look at this bastard. In previous years, they might have passed the Qualifying Competition in the Outer Academy but they were only ranked at the very bottom. However, in just a year's time, I dare say that with their strength, they can definitely enter the top ten among all of you."

Xiao Yan was slightly surprised upon hearing this. His gaze was fixed on those young people and his gaze slightly hardened. He could sense that these young people were indeed very strong. Among this new group of disciples, it was possible to count the number of people who could defeat them with just both hands. Yet these people were only those who ranked at the bottom in the Qualifying Competitions of previous years. From this, one could see how the strength of these people had grown by leaps and bounds after entering the Inner Academy.

"Alright, don't say any more nonsense. Even though you all have passed the Qualifying Competition and obtained the right to enter the Inner Academy, this is still not over..." Elder Su smiled. He waved his hand and a large pile of black-colored crystal sheets appeared in his hand. With a random throw using his hand, he threw out a crystal sheet. Immediately, those crystal sheets seemed to be growing eyes as they began to hold themselves in front of everyone. Xiao Yan and the others were startled as they reached out and held onto it.

As soon as the crystal sheet entered their hands, Xiao Yan and the others immediately felt a strange heat energy seeping out from within it. They lowered their heads to observe for a moment and discovered that it was a transparent crystal screen. Printed on the screen is a large red number: "5!"

"What does this mean?" Xiao Yan was a bit hesitant when he saw that red-colored number. He raised his gaze and was somewhat dumbfounded when he saw the group of young people standing behind the middle-aged man were observing the dark black crystal sheet held in his hand and the other hand with a gaze hotter. There is a desire in their view that they do not hide.

"Because of some things, it's quite difficult to explain. You will naturally understand it in the future. However, there is only one thing you need to know for now. Protect the crystal sheet in your hands as if it were your life. Once you enter the Inner Academy, you will understand its importance! Of course, just look at the expression in the eyes of this group of people and you will understand this point." Towards the end of his speech, Elder Su pointed to the group of young people behind and said with a smile.

Xiao Yan and Xun Er looked at each other and nodded their heads. The crystal sheets in their hands trembled and were stored into their storage rings.

"Next, all of you must enter this forest. After that, you guys should make it to the Inner Academy on the edge of the forest." Elder Su's finger paused on the group of young people and said weakly: "You guys should be careful of them as you all pass through this forest, they can fight randomly inside this forest. . In other words, they can attack anyone among you."

"Remember, the number on the crystal sheet in the hand of the calamity is a huge temptation for them. Therefore, with the exception of killing people, they will use all sorts of methods to get ... ‘Energy Api’ in your crystal sheet … you will feel that this term is very familiar and very beautiful in the future .. For now, you need to avoid it or defeat them. As long as you are not captured by them and make it to the academy, you will get your final reward. The earlier you arrive, the more abundant the gift."

Elder Su's finger suddenly turned towards the dark black forest behind him. "With regards to the usurpation in this forest, the Inner Academy we call it ‘The Fire’ Energy Hunting Competition."

"Now, I announce that ‘Fire’ Energy Hunting Competition this year has officially started! Students, start splitting up!"
