As the sun set in the west, a touch of melancholy scattered over all things, using a brief warmth to end the journey of the day.

Within the academy, the Xuan Yuan Palace Hall was bustling with activity.

"Quiet, quiet down," Ding Chen cleared his throat, suppressing the students' racket. After calming down, he nodded towards Grand Commandant Xu Guang.

By now, the Vice Principal of the Royal Academy had already left. From his appearance, it seemed as if something big had happened in the capital city. He just left Xu Guang a "random response" and then turned into a white crane and rushed back to the capital.

"I'm very happy that the victor of this mission has appeared," Grand Commandant Xu said as he presided over the final student recruitment meeting. Honestly speaking, this Grand Commandant was indeed very young, just from his appearance alone, he looked to be in his early twenties. However, he was a true Golden Ranked expert, and apart from having a somewhat paralyzed face and looking a little handsome, he had no shortcomings. Grand Commandant Xu touched his throat and continued, "Then, please step out of the list."

With that said, everyone used a strange look in their eyes to look for the final winner.

To everyone's surprise, it was Fan Tian and Dai Qiuhu who stepped out of the crowd, followed by Liu Xin who had her head lowered. The most surprising thing was that Fan Qin was still there!

Looking at this scene, Fan Mu and the other two opened their mouths wide, thinking, "Are you kidding me? This is a plot, right? The screenwriter didn't take the wrong medicine, Liu Xin was one of them, but Fan Qing made an alliance two minutes ago and became enemies two minutes later to tease me?"

"Four people?" He knew that Dean Ding was divided into groups of three, so what was the pace of these four.

He was actually thinking that he could also bring his relatives up here. Eh, but these were four little boys, no no no no, it seems like the possibility of a gay man was greatly increased. Everyone thought that Grand Commandant Xu was just thinking, but they did not expect him to be thinking of all sorts of plots.

"Who is this?" "Get lost, we don't know each other," Fan Tian pointed at the last person and scolded.

"Uh, why am I here?" Fan Qin woke up from his scolding, staring blankly at the crowd. He scratched his head and said, "Sorry, sorry, I was thinking about something." After hearing Fan Qin's brainless explanation, the crowd burst into laughter. Fan Qin's ruckus was already popular amongst the students.

When Fan Mu heard this, his eyes filled with tears. He almost vomited blood. Fan Qin, Fan Qin, you really are a joke sent by the monkey.

Indeed, I can testify that Fan Qin had been thinking about his future plans, but when he heard the word "winner", he subconsciously walked out, not expecting to make such a big joke out of it.

"Alright, alright, calm down." Dean Ding clapped his hands and once again controlled the rules of Xuanyuan Pavilion.

"So, the three of you obtained the precious jade?" Grand Commandant Xu's face was already paralyzed, but his tone sounded like he was interrogating a prisoner, which made Fan Tian feel uncomfortable.

"Yes!" Fan Tian's tone was resolute and decisive, without a trace of guilt in his heart, as if lying was a common occurrence for him.

"Alright then. One of you three should go study in the academy. Decide on your own." However, what he wanted to see was three people united as one, living through a difficult time together. However, the scene before him had left him in shock.

One of them raised his hand, while the other channeled his core of elemental energy.

"I give up!" Liu Xin's words were full of meaning. After hearing Liu Xin's words, Fan Tian didn't even look at him. From their eyes, it seemed like the two of them had a falling out, so Liu Xin left the center of the field under everyone's gazes.

"That, Liu Xin? "Are you okay?" Lingyun walked to the side of the extremely disappointed Liu Xin. He didn't forget that they had been comrades in arms when they were at death's door, so he softly asked.

"Ah?" "Oh, it's nothing, it's nothing. You guys keep watching, I'm going to go back and rest for a bit." Lingyun's voice pulled Liu Xin out of her deep thoughts.

"Okay, since you said that, then I won't ask anymore. Remember to let him pass." Since Liu Xin didn't want to say it, then there was no need for Lingyun to get to the bottom of this. He cupped his fists in greeting and returned to Fan Mu's side.

"What about you?" At this moment, Fan Tian was actually making a provocative gesture, the tip of his snake-like tongue licked his upper lip, and he extended his right hand to beckon to Dai Qiuhu. In order to obtain a placing in the Royal Academy, he was prepared to force Dai Qiuhu to submit to him.

As a result, the entire hall was filled with sighs. All the students gave Fan Tian a hateful look as they muttered to each other, 'How can this be? He's clearly a teammate, isn't he?'

Let me tell you, there is a limit to my patience," Dai Qiuhu roared, and when he saw Fan Tian actually treat him like this, the anger in his heart rose involuntarily. Although there was usually some friction between Fan Tian and Liu Xin, Dai Qiuhu would never have thought that the person he called 'big brother' a thousand times would actually turn into such a heartless and cold-blooded animal under the temptation of the position of power.

"Is that so? Looks like you have to continue enduring it!" Then, without giving Dai Qiuhu a chance to react, he began to mobilize all of his elemental energy. Scorching fire elemental energy surged and spiraled downwards, tightly wrapping Dai Qiuhu without leaving a single gap.

"He wouldn't, right?" Fan Mu was shocked as he looked at Fan Tian's core of elemental energy. This was a genuine Yellow Rank. Not only this, the bright spots on the hexagonal star also indicated that Fan Tian had awakened.

Lingyun was also shocked, only a talented young genius like Grand Commandant Xu would look calm. However, Xu Tianguo was an exception, because he was not human.

Grand Commandant Xu raised his eyebrows as he looked at Fan Tian's movement technique. He muttered to himself, "His strength is not bad. A fourteen year old Yellow Ranked warrior definitely has a good future. He can be considered a freshman among the younger generation."

In this war-torn era, strength was everything. In the Royal Academy, this was no exception. With real power, having power meant having power!

"Fire Burial," Fan Tian's ghostly eyes turned, and the incantation went through the motions. From the ground, the fire elements started to rise intensely, and before Dai Qiuhu could use his elemental energy to defend, a human-shaped fireball wrapped around him.

"Explode!"

Boom! A series of explosions resounded. Smoke filled the air and the area where Dai Qiu Hu was standing was overflowing with blue light.
