Chapter Thirty-Five Return to the Academy

  After six months of training, the strongest five teams were born, and these five teams are:

  Long Ti leads the Dragon King Squad, with Long Di as its captain. Long Di is also a direct descendant of Long Wu Di, which means that Long Ti is also a direct descendant of Long Wu Di. The Dragon King Squad has ten members in total, all of whom are above level four Qi Yin high-level experts. Even Long Ti wouldn't accept anyone weaker! As for Long Ti himself, he's already at level nine Qi Yin and is close to breaking through to become a Qi Xing level expert.

  Long Ge leads the Desert Eagle Squad, with Long Ge as captain and four members. Seventh-level Qi Yin Long Ge upgraded again in battle, fourth-level Qi Yin Long Di (such a cultivation speed also made Long Di look at his younger brother with new eyes!), second-level Qi Yin Jin Zi and Mei Gui, not bad!

  Long Ba leads - Cheetah Squad, Long Ba's leadership is at level 8, with 10 members.

  Ryūdo leads - Ryūjin Squad, Ryūdo leader of level 7, ten members.

  Long Shao-led - Tiger Slaughter Team, Long Shao with Qi Yin seventh level leadership, ten members.

  Overall, the strongest team seems to be Longdi's Dragon King Team, and the weakest is Longge's Desert Eagle Team. But can strength be judged by level? No! Just looking at the length of the team name, you can tell which team is the strongest! Haha!

  One day after June, a blimp suddenly appeared in the sky.

  "Congratulations on successfully passing the six-month trial!" An old man flew down from the airship and said warmly to Long Song and others, "Now you can follow us back to the Academy!"

  "Oh! Finally can go back, I want to go to the best restaurant to eat the most expensive dishes!" Jin Zi exclaimed.

  "I'm going to take the most comfortable bath!" Rose looked at her skin, which had become a bit tanned after six months, and said gloomily, "I don't know when I can restore my fair skin!"

  "Hehe! I'm finally back, and I want to show my brother the progress I've made!" Long Di exclaimed excitedly. The biggest knot in his heart was that his older brother, Long Ti, always looked down on him, but now he could finally let him see things from a different perspective.

  "Hehe, I'm going to the wine house to eat too. My favorite fish! It's been several months since I last had fish!" Long Ge said excitedly.

  Their cheers left the old-timers who picked them up on the airboat speechless, "Are these newcomers so quick to get used to the harsh desert? Not a single one of them complained."

  Sitting on the airship, Long Ge and his team unexpectedly discovered another squad - the Butcher Wolf Squad.

  "Hello! I'm Long Duo." A teammate with a similar aura to Long Song walked over, his resolute expression giving Long Song a somewhat familiar feeling.

  "Hello! My name is Long Ge." Long Ge replied politely.

  "Are you just four people?" The captain of the Butcher Wolf Squad, Long Duo, was a bit surprised.

  "Yes, there were just four of us." Long Ge replied.

  "Just four of you have gone through six months of training?" Long Duo said.

  "What's wrong?" Long Ge said.

  "There are only four of them, but we have as many as ten people!" Long Duo said.

  "Our captain Long Ge is quite formidable!" Jin Zi said from the side.

  "Hehe," Long Duo laughed and said, "Our squad is called Butcher Wolf Squad, what's your squad's name?"

  "Our squad is called Desert Eagles!" Long Ge said with a smile.

  "Heh heh, you're also from the Jinling aristocratic family, right? How come I've never seen you before?" Long Duo said. The Jinling aristocratic family had a population of over 10 million, with over 3,000 Qi Wang-level experts, but children with talent usually knew each other by sight.

  "I am not a member of the Jinling Shi family, I am just an ordinary person from Longjia Village," said Long Ge.

  "Haha, it's really rare!" Long Duo said.

  "I know you!" Long Di said to Long Duo on the side.

  "Who are you?" Long Duo had no impression of Long Di.

  "My brother is Longdi!" Longdi said.

  "Ah! It's our family's strongest genius, Long Di! He has a younger brother, but I've heard he's only at the Qi Dan level!" Long Duo thought to himself.

  "I am his younger brother Long Di," said Long Di.

  "This is impossible! How can you level up so much!" Long Duo looked at Long Di with a bit of disbelief, who had the strength of a fourth-level Qi Infant. "We fight once every ten days and then rest for several days before continuing to fight, so we level up that quickly. How do you guys fight?"

  "We fight every day!" Long Di said proudly, the formation created by the Desert Eagle Squad and sufficient elixirs allowed them to fight continuously!

  "Are you crazy?" Long Duo asked, somewhat disbelieving. "Fighting every day will consume so much dan medicine! That's priceless!"

  "Haha!" The Desert Eagle squad burst out laughing. Their formation's secret would never be told to outsiders, only left for the ghosts!

  "What's so funny?" Long Duo was somewhat puzzled.

  "What's up?" Long Ge said, then changed the subject and asked Lao Sheng, "By the way, senior, how many new students survived from the desert this time?"

  "They're all safe!" Old Master said.

  "Everything? How come I see signs of defeat in battle?" Long Song was somewhat puzzled.

  "It was all of us who escaped!" Lao Sheng said.

  "Oh!" Long Ge was suddenly enlightened, "Then how many teams didn't get rescued?" Not getting rescued meant they had survived the six-month special training.

  "There are ten in total!" Lao Sheng replied.

  "Ah! So little?" The golden zither beside him was surprised first.

  "If it weren't for following Long Ge, I reckon we would have been rescued long ago!" Long Di said with a hint of emotion.

  "What rewards will these ten teams get?" Long Song asked.

  "There are rewards and opportunities to compete for rankings in the primary department," said Lao Sheng.

  "What's with the junior department? What ranking?" Long Song was somewhat puzzled.

  "Our Imperial Academy on the north bank of the Huang River is divided into three parts, I'm too lazy to explain, you can take a look at this admission manual yourself." Lao Sheng handed over a book to Long Ge.

  "Rose, your voice sounds good, read it out loud for everyone to hear!" Long Song handed the book to Rose, who blushed as she took it.

  "Imperial Academy Huanghe North Shore Introduction: The academy is divided into three parts, namely the Primary Department for Qi Ling level, the Intermediate Department for Qi Xing level, and the Advanced Department for Qi Po level." Rose's sweet voice said.

  "The Junior Division includes freshmen and has a ranking list called the Shin'ou. The Shin'ou has 50 ranks, ranked in order of strength from highest to lowest. Freshmen can only challenge the top players on the Shin'ou after completing six months of special training, while second-year students can challenge them at any time."

  "In other words, only the members of these ten teams are qualified to challenge the strong players on the new list." Lao Sheng said, as a senior department's lao sheng, he looked down on the games of these young people in the new list, but he had an obligation to explain it to the newcomers.

  "The intermediate department is where students who have reached the air level go to study, and there is also a ranking list in the intermediate department called Zhongbang. The Zhongbang has fifty places, as long as you enter the intermediate department, you can challenge the strong players on the list at any time." Rose said.

  "Those who can get on the list will generally receive many rewards, and you will know when the time comes!" Lao Sheng said.

  "The Advanced Department is where students who have reached the Qi level attend, and there's also a ranking list in the Advanced Department called the High List. The High List has fifty spots, and as long as you're in the Advanced Department, you can challenge the strong players on the list at any time," said Mei Gui.

  "This high-ranking master is truly a high-ranking master. Like me, with a sixth-level aura, I couldn't even reach the strength to challenge the top 50. The rewards on the high-ranking list are really too enticing, so even if some people's strength isn't enough, they still want to go and challenge." Old Shen sighed and said, "Although I also covet those rewards, but clearly understand the gap between my own strength and theirs. If we say that the new ranking is a game for infants like you, the middle ranking is a place where people can fight, then the high ranking is a place where people can go all out."

  "What exactly are those rewards?" Long asked.

  "This I also can't say, when you arrive at the advanced department you will naturally know!" Lao Sheng said.

  Long Song analyzed in his heart, "These three lists are to make us constantly struggle and strengthen ourselves. The division of primary, intermediate, and advanced departments is also to protect the majority of students. Suppose there is a gas level that stays in the primary department and doesn't move, then the new list won't be competitive at all, so the college has such a mandatory regulation."

  "Hehe! At that time we will go challenge the new list!" Long Ge laughed, "Let's see how powerful the masters in the new list are!"

  "Haha!" Long Duo also laughed and said, "At that time our small team will also go challenge it, let's see what the reward is."

  As they chatted between themselves, the airship had unknowingly flown to the primary department of the academy.

  "You can go down from here, someone will tell you where the dormitory is, where to attend classes, and where to challenge. My task is also over!" Lao Sheng said to Long Ge and others.

  "Thank you!" Long Ge said to Lao Sheng before leaving the airship with the other team members.

  Exiting the airship, I found that there were already over a hundred people staying at the landing site of the airship. These hundred or so people were the ten teams who had undergone six months of special training!

  While other teams who had not crossed special training were already studying hard in college.

  "Follow me," said the dormitory administrator who was in charge of receiving Long Ge and his group, an administrator with a high level of aura, showing just how powerful the college was!

  Under the leadership of the dormitory administrator, these ten teams that have undergone special training understood the geographical distribution of the college and then went to the dormitory area to wash up before going to the cafeteria for dinner.

  Zhong Jiandui met Long Di, and was surprised by Long Di's progress, which gave him the idea of fighting against Long Ge. A captain who can make his subordinates so strong must be a very powerful captain!

  Because the college is very big, so the dormitory is also very big. Long Ge and others were assigned a dormitory, which looks like a small courtyard. Long Ge lives in the east wing, Mei Gui lives in the south wing, and Long Di and Jin Zi live in the west wing. The entire junior department has 2000 courtyards, each of which can accommodate about twenty people. As long as it is a team, they can live together, that is to say, there are approximately 20,000 people in the junior department.

  After grooming themselves, Long Ge and his friends planned to go eat a good meal first before going to challenge the new rankings.

  How strong are the top players on the new list? How many of Long Ge and his team members will receive rewards?
