After walking out of Yuan Chunhua's office, Jiang Ming began to head toward the gathering area.
"Where are you going?"
Just when Jiang Ming walked for a few minutes, he heard Qi Shan's voice echoing from behind.
Turning around, Jiang Ming held an unamused expression at her.
"Are you seriously planning on participating?" he asked softly.
They may be in the open right now, but Qi Shan was able to conceal her presence completely.
Hence, not a single student in the academy had managed to detect Qi Shan.
Meanwhile, Qi Shan shrugged her shoulders.
"You're so boring, Jiang Ming." Qi Shan said, rolling her eyes.
And she continued, "You can kill other students for revenge yet I'm not allowed to kill to fill up my Thirst Meter? Just what kind of blasphemy is that?"
"..."
As much as Jiang Ming wanted to rebuke her arguments, he couldn't find any plausible excuse to do so.
"Fine, but remember, do not implicate me in whatever you do. I don't want to know nor do I want to care about the people you want to kill." Jiang Ming snorted coldly.
"Hehe, that's how it should be. Balance as all things are meant to be."
Sometime later, Jiang Ming arrived at the gathering area. The gathering area was a spacious environment with a large stage in the center, used for the administrator to make important announcements.
In addition, there were also training dummies placed on the side with absorption defensive formation inlaid in it.
Jiang Ming glanced around his surroundings for a few seconds before finding himself an open corner to rest in.
While he rested in the corner alone, people started looking at him and pointing their fingers.
Some of them were giving Jiang Ming a disdainful look since they were in closed-door cultivation and didn't know about the huge change of Jiang Ming's current status.
Thus, they didn't learn to keep their mouths shut in front of him.
"Isn't this the perverted trash that almost got crippled before?"
"Heh, I'm surprised he managed to get off his bed after that thorough beating he had received."
"I truly wonder how the Ming Clan can still hope to place their future on Jiang Ming."
Hearing their remarks, Jiang Ming was completely oblivious as he glanced at the sky.
'What a beautiful sky to murder these bastards.' he thought.
After mulling over how to kill those people that can't keep their mouths shut, an elderly man dressed in a blue uniform appeared on the stage.
"Ahem, attention, please. Our principal, Lin Jingyun will now begin the announcement." The elderly man said as he took a step back.
Meanwhile, a white-bearded man with a gentle smile hanging on his face graces the stage.
"Hello students, the time has gone by so fast and we are already on our annual examination day." Lin Jingyun laughed heartily as he clutched tightly on his stick that was used to balance him.
Although Lin Jingyun seemed like an old man with his days being numbered, none of the students dared to disrespect him.
His appearance was merely a facade and his true cultivation base was around the Spiritual Master Realm. He was at a similar level with the Northern Continent guardian beast, Shentou.
Of course, Jiang Ming wouldn't put Lin Jingyun much in his eyes when he didn't even bother giving respect to Zhao Tong, the emperor.
Zhao Tong's cultivation base was hidden carefully with his concealment, but the concealment is nothing in front of Jiang Ming's Mystic Eye.
With one glance, Jiang Ming could determine Zhao Tong was at the Spiritual Grandmaster Realm and was close to breaking through to the next realm.
Hence, he half-heartedly listened to the long-winded announcement of Lin Jingyun.
Just when Jiang Ming was about to yawn from boredom, he noticed Yuan Chunhua was holding a fierce expression at him.
"Stop wandering around and start focusing on the Principal's words, Jiang Ming." She sent a mental transmission toward him.
If looks can kill, then Jiang Ming was sure that Yuan Chunhua really wanted to kill him at this moment.
Unlike him who gives zero crap about Lin Jingyun, Yuan Chunhua was actually the direct disciple of Lin Jingyun.
Thus, it was clear that she had the utmost respect for the principal.
Jiang Ming shrugged his shoulders.
"Not my fault that his speech is so long and boring. Look at the other students, they aren't even giving a crap either so why are you looking at me only?" He complained back to her mentally.
"They aren't taught by me, so why should I care if they lose valuable information?"
"But you are still an instructor, and an instructor should be fair in every situation. Hence, please reprimand the others first for not paying attention before biting at me."
Suddenly, Yuan Chunhua narrowed her eyes and clenched her fist tightly.
pαпᵈα-noνɐ1·сoМ "Wanna start an argument?" She asked him in a gentle and sweet voice.
"..."
Jiang Ming twitched his mouth as he could only shake his head in response.
'Tch, women are really the most unreasonable people in the world.' He thought.
Sometime later, Lin Jingyun had finally finished his boring speech as he proceeded to explain this year's examination.
"Alright, this year, students must explore the Guilong Forest and gather their specified ingredients to pass the exam. And I must warn everyone that there are magical beasts at the Spiritual Lord Realm lurking there. Thus, it would be wise for you to form a proper team in case you have met with any magical beasts." Lin Jingyun announced.
By sending the students into a dangerous place like the Guilong Forest where death is lingering at every corner, the academy hoped that the students would be able to rely on their strength and wisdom to overcome the hurdle.
And by doing so, Lin Jingyun knew that some of the students here today might perish in the examination.
However, it was an inevitable outcome since this is the cultivation world.
"Truly a dog eats dog world…" Jiang Ming sneered coldly as he watched the students who are familiar with each other begin to form a team.
