It was as if Xuanyuan Zilin hadn't been through any battles at all. She didn't seem exhausted at all. Her brother's request had made her even more excited, and she was already at her peak strength. Her figure was as fast as a shadow. The other two older students could only rely on the vibrations in the air to determine Xuan Yuan's location. However, they weren't very good at this ability. Hence, in merely a few minutes, the two of them suffered a couple of heavy punches. They bitterly endured for another four to five minutes before their bodies finally collapsed limply, temporarily losing their consciousness.

The strength of the three of them was at the ninth star realm, an unsurpassable level for an ordinary freshman. However, for a two star spirit like Xuanyuan Zilin, who had rich combat experience and a superior cultivation technique, it was not too difficult to take care of them. The three of them had worked together to delay Xuanyuan Zilin for several minutes. This was no small feat.

After a few minutes of fighting between Xuanyuan Zilin and the three seniors, the other battle had also reached its end.

Although the strength of Long Junhao's group was much weaker than that of Xiuyan's group, it was obvious that the former was much more advanced in terms of his cultivation technique, skills, and weapons. As such, although Long Junhao and the others had been at a disadvantage from the start of the battle, they had managed to hold back Xiu Yan. However, the battle had lasted for a long time, and the benefits of having a high cultivation technique were gradually being revealed. Long Junhao and the others were still brimming with spiritual energy. Although they were still at a disadvantage, they weren't as pathetic as they were in the beginning.

Xuanyuan Zilong was walking towards them because he did not want to rely on Xuanyuan Zilin's strength to capture a one star Profound Spirit. This way, it would be of great benefit to their progress. As expected, when Xuanyuan Zilong joined the fray, it was as if he had always been strong enough to make the originally disadvantaged Long Junhao's group's attacks even sharper.

But Xiu Yan was indeed anxious, and it was not only because of the arrival of Xuanyuan Zilong that added to the pressure, the most important thing was that the other three profound spirits had already lost and he no longer had any help. As for the girl who did not know her strength, she was still eyeing him like a tiger watching its prey. She did not know when she would attack him, so Xiu Yan was truly a little flustered.

"Chaotic Dance of Gods and Demons …"

Although the situation had already been one-sided and they had already held the greatest advantage, Xuanyuan Zilong did not care about those things. What he cared about was only the enemy in front of him. The five of them exchanged blows with Xiu Yan for a few more minutes. Xiu Yan's clothes also had a few additional holes, so he didn't look relaxed at all.

As for Xuanyuan Zilin, she didn't come over to help. Instead, she went over to Tang Wen's side to help the freshmen. In the end, the teachers' team was doomed. It turned out that although there were many new students, because of their low strength, the older students still held the upper hand despite the difficult fight. The proportion of new students who fell was far greater than the older students.

However, after Xuan Yuan had joined them, the situation had taken a turn for the worse as her ghostly figure shuttled back and forth between the older students. Seeing the older students being held up by the younger ones, she quietly struck them in the back with her palm or even with her fist.

"The Five Emperors, Highdragon!"

"Heaven Flying Immortal!"

"True Body of the Ancestral Dragon!"

"Eight Trigrams Nine Palace!"

"Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman!"

"Chaotic Dance of Gods and Demons …"

Xuanyuan Zilong and the others seized the opportunity to launch their ultimate moves repeatedly. Although Xiu Yan also fought back frequently, this time he completely blocked the attack as well. Xuanyuan Zilong's sword struck his body and directly sent him flying.

Xiu Yan stabilized himself in the air, so as to prevent himself from falling to the ground directly. He had done it, but he did not expect that Xuanyuan Zilong's sword would be faster than his. In the instant he landed, Xuanyuan Zilong's sword was already at his throat.

Xiu Yan, on the other hand, was a man of his word. He knew that he was no longer in a position of power, and since he had already lost, he directly admitted defeat. "After admitting defeat, Xiu Yan didn't say anything more. He waved his hand and a card flew out, flying straight towards Xuanyuan Zilong like a blue light.

He reached out his hand and grabbed the blue light. When Xuanyuan Zi Long took a look, it was a light blue spirit crystal card. The number of spirit crystal cards had actually reached ninety-six.

Holding the Spirit Crystal Card, although he had some appreciation for Xiu Yan, Xuanyuan Zilong did not return it like a saint. This was their team's spoils of war and not his own, so he only cupped his fists towards Xiu Yan as a sign of gratitude.

"You and your companions are all very strong, but today's battle is still a bit bitter. I hope I can have a chance to fight with you guys again." Leaning on the tree trunk, Xiu Yan said indifferently. "Hur hur, I believe there will be such an opportunity." Xuanyuan Zilong faintly smiled. He believed that after entering the inner courtyard, Long Junhao and the others would face many challenges. As for himself, he wasn't prepared to participate. The first year's martial arts competition and the current match had already made him very famous and gained a lot of attention. This wasn't what he liked, he would make this scene gradually fade away in the future.

"Although all of you borrowed from the power of rebirth. He defeated eleven of our teams. But you will not be able to reach the inner court with a good return. " Xiu Yan's gaze paused on the freshmen and seniors who had yet to finish their battles.

"Oh, you mean the remaining two two star spirit beasts from the Black Demon Profound Spirit Group? You think we will lose? " Xuanyuan Zilong shrugged his shoulders and said without a care.

"Looks like you know a lot." Hearing Xuanyuan Zilong's words, Xiu Yan's brows twitched and he was a little surprised.

This so-called 'Spirit Energy Hunting Competition' is specially set up by the Inner Academy. This is because many new students are extremely arrogant when they first came to the Inner Academy. Hence, the purpose of the Inner Academy setting up this Hunting Competition is to cause the old students to feel the new sharp aura within the forest.

I only want us to enter the Inner Academy without being robbed of even a little. Moreover, it must be said that the method you older students use to remove the freshmen's spirit is very easy to cause a rebound. Perhaps it is because they have also received this kind of treatment in the past, so they want to return and give it to the new students. Xuanyuan Zilong slowly said as he looked at the older student who had been beaten up by Xuanyuan Zilong. He knew that this battle was about to come to an end.

Xiu Yan was silent. He was also clear that the older students were currently participating in the Spiritual Energy Hunting Competition not only to snatch the Spiritual Energy, but also some who were participating in it to pacify the shadow in their hearts.

"Alright, let's call it a day then." Letting out a light breath, Xuanyuan Zi Long once again cast his gaze towards the chaotic circle of battle. Over there, due to Xuanyuan Zi Lin joining the fray, those seniors of the inner courtyard who had bitterly endured, were finally unable to hold on to the stalemate.

"Ugh, these older students have suffered heavy losses. Their strength is indeed strong. The Inner Academy is indeed a good place to hone people." Sweeping his gaze across the spacious arena, Xuanyuan Zi Long shook his head helplessly. Originally, amongst the hundreds of freshmen, there were only less than a hundred who were still able to stand after defeating the fifty-one older students who were well-coordinated with each other. As for the others, most of them had temporarily lost their fighting strength due to injuries and were lying on the ground breathing heavily.

When the last older student fell to the ground, a laughter that was mixed with pain immediately sounded in the empty ground. The hearts of nearly a hundred new students who were still able to stand could not resist surging.

"Ke ke, everyone. Let's first look at our companions and apply these healing medicine on them. The rest of you should keep the Spirit Crystal Card in the hands of the older students. Since you have obtained victory, we will naturally begin to distribute the spoils." Looking at the excited faces of the new students, Xuanyuan Zi Long gave a faint smile. He slowly walked forward and took out a large amount of healing medicine from his storage ring and placed it on a rock before smiling at everyone.

"Yes sir!" At this time, everyone had turned around and the freshmen basically followed Xuanyuan Zilong's orders. Thus, when they heard his words, all of them responded in unison and immediately followed his orders. For a moment, they were once again rather busy.

"Are you alright?" Seeing Xuanyuan Zi Lin walking toward him, Tang Wen asked with a smile. The two of them nodded their heads. Xuanyuan Zilin was fine, but Tang Wen was panting. It was clear that the previous battle had consumed a great deal of spiritual energy and physical strength. Moreover, he had suffered several attacks because of his lack of strength.

Xuanyuan Zilong's finger lightly flicked the storage ring and a small jade bottle appeared. It tilted slightly and took out a round healing pill, passing it to Tang Wen. "This can quickly heal your injuries. Eat it."

Tang Wen received the pill with a smile. He said, "Thank you, boss." Then, without the slightest bit of hesitation, he directly threw it into his mouth.

He could not help but let out a long sigh of relief as he gazed at the bustling open ground. Finally, he had completely settled the eleven groups. Next, as long as they were allowed to rest for a day, they would be able to settle the remaining groups.

"Tsk tsk, you really do have some ability. You actually managed to eat the group of eleven older students in one bite." Two old men slowly opened their eyes at the top of a tree in the vast sea of trees. They exchanged glances and shook their heads as they spoke with some surprise.

"That little fellow called Xuanyuan Zilong seems to be quite strong. Since he was able to hold on for so long against Leng Bai with the strength of a one star Profound Emperor, he was still able to beat him in the end. Although Xuanyuan Zi Lin was able to help him with her soul attack, he didn't have the slightest bit of tardiness in his attacks or his sharp eyesight.

"Yes." The old man who spoke earlier slightly nodded his head, stretched his waist and said: "However, the good fortune of these freshmen will soon come to an end. The remaining Black Fiend Mysterious Spirit Group is a valiant individual who frequently earns spiritual energy in the arena, eh?"

He tilted his head and exchanged glances with the other old man before speaking in surprise: "These five auras, good fellow, I did not expect that the clam clams would compete with each other, and a fisherman was following behind them to take advantage of me. Worthy of being a cunning fellow in the arena."

In the empty forest, Xuanyuan Zilong smilingly looked at the fifty-five light blue spirit crystal cards in his hands and let out a long sigh. This was a huge harvest.

Lifting his gaze, Xuanyuan Zi Long scanned the fiery hot eyes of the freshmen before smiling and saying, "Next up, we can begin to split the spoils."

Just as Xuanyuan Zilong was about to say something, the unfamiliar faint laughter suddenly came out from the dense forest without any warning. In the end, it slowly reverberated in the air and caused everyone's bodies to stiffen up.

"Tsk, this year's freshmen are indeed not ordinary. They were actually able to defeat fifteen teams of seniors. However, this is good as well. The spiritual energy you have obtained, we will take it all in."

Slowly raising his head, he cast his gaze towards a dense forest. Over there, the leaves suddenly trembled, and five figures, with a fierce aura all over their bodies, flashed and appeared on the tree trunk like five humanoid demon beasts, looking down on everyone present from a high vantage point.

The expressions of everyone on the empty ground changed when they saw the five human figures that had appeared on the tree trunk.

The moment the five of them appeared, a fearsome aura seeped out from their bodies without any concealment. A pressuring aura that made the faces of Xuanyuan Zilong and the others slightly paled enveloped the entire area, causing them to feel as if they were being stared at by a wild beast from the forest.

"Sha Tie? You guys actually followed us as well! " After the five figures appeared, the expression of Xiu Yan, who was leaning against a tree trunk and recovering his aura, changed. Especially after his gaze swept over the gorilla like man in the middle of the five people, he involuntarily cried out.

"I met a few new students on the road and obtained the information." Immediately, his eyes glanced at the four injured people as he smiled and said, "Tsk tsk, it is really unexpected that even the four of you were defeated by these new students. I really do not know how all of you cultivated within the Inner Academy."
