Chapter 12.2 - School opening Ceremony

Alright, tomorrow they were going to join the School Opening Ceremony and hear the news.

Both Lin Xiao and Ling Luo didn’t have the intention to say anything, and went to sleep early…

{pr: two beds this time… will Ling Luo miss the softness of our protagonist?}

*******

The School Opening Ceremony was an important event for the new students.

Yunqi Academy’s headmaster looked like a 40 years old woman. She was standing on the stage with a solemn expression, while yelling at the people under the stage through her gongli {n}: “Please quiet down!”

{gongli: a type of power}

Her cultivation already reached the Di stage, so while speaking she was using gongli, and pressuring the students below.

The entire court immediately quieted down.

Pleased, the headmaster nodded her head, and then began her speech. The speech was pretentious, just like in most of the academies. The content was roughly the same: study well, advance everyday, graduate early, become glorious, etc…

However, such a simple speech made them excited. They could already imagine themselves graduating from Yunqi Academy and rushing themselves towards a new world.

Their families would be proud of them, the clans (maybe even themselves) more powerful and wealthier…

{tl: -_-}

The silent court got noisy again…

A crowd of youngsters who had never met the real world…

Lin Xiao yawned, because he had already heard those motivational speeches in his first life. After another lifetime, the content was still the same: meaningless.

Ling Luo, who was standing next to him, was also bored stiff. He wasn’t angry with Lin Xiao anymore, because they were both grown men, and being angry for just a moment was okay.

The headmaster waited for the noise to decrease a bit, and then continued: “In addition, I have to make an announcement today.”

The court got silent.

“I prepared a Refinement Fire Test for the new students. It’s located in the forest outside Refine Medicine Country {n}.” This sentence caused a great disturbance.

{tl: I fail to remember which name I wrote！(◎_◎;) pr: how? By the way , these country names are stupid…}

New students joining the Refinement Fire Test has never been heard before. In fact, only students who stayed in the Yunqi Academy for a while could enter the test.

Everyone was whispering to each other: How did this happen?

Based on those barely thirteen years old youngsters, who cultivated until Ninth-layer, going in the Refinement Fire Test wasn’t simple, but very dangerous, because they could lose their lives.

They resisted and cursed.

Lin Xiao also frowned, because there was also this twist in the story… It seemed that Ling Luo met the most dangerous accident in the years to come.

He couldn’t be optimistic…

“Bang!” A bat on the table reverberated throughout the court.

Trying to conceal the rage, the headmaster exclaimed: “If I decide that new students are going to take the test, then the new students must join the test! If you refuse, then get out of the school!”

Although the noise of protest was higher than anybody’s, but after the threat, nobody uttered a sound anymore.

The headmaster snorted, clasped her hands behind her back, and then left the stage, so that the other teachers could make their own speeches.

While teachers were enthusiastically speaking, Lin Xiao was feeling troubled.

Refinement Fire Test… If he chose to go with Ling Luo, will he still be in danger? Because in these circumstances, Ling Luo almost couldn’t survive.

Lin Xiao didn’t have the protagonist’s halo, so he was extremely afraid that he wouldn’t be powerful enough to stand up, and will fall down.

Go with Ling Luo or not… this was a serious dilemma. {pr: Hamletish~~~}
