"What?"
"You're not waiting for the seniors to leave before letting us in?"
"Tsk … What a trap!"
Many of the new students were shocked and looked at the old man in confusion.
Most of the new students had yet to break through to the Saint Realm and were only Ninth Tribulation half-True Saints.
Even if there were students who had broken through to the Saint Realm, they did not have heaven-defying talents like Lin Ye and Shangguan Yunqi. They were no match for the seniors.
Therefore, when they heard that they had to cultivate in the spiritual energy gathering array with the seniors, their faces changed drastically.
"Ha!"
The old man said indifferently, "You can choose not to go in, but if you do, you won't have the chance to cultivate in the spiritual energy gathering array for the first time."
"I …"
Many of the new students were depressed when they heard the old man's words.
Wasn't he forcing them to cultivate with the seniors?
Even if they were pushed out later on, they would still be able to obtain many benefits.
If they did not go in, they would not be able to obtain any benefits and would even waste a chance.
"I'm just giving you a reminder. I didn't give you the right to choose."
The old man said indifferently, "Oh, no, I gave you the chance to choose.
You can choose to give up or go in! "
"Tell me when you've made up your mind and I'll let you in."
"If you don't want to go in, I'll send you out."
"…"
Many of the new students fell silent and their faces were filled with helplessness.
They could tell that the old man was not joking. They did not have the right to choose!
Lin Ye, Shangguan Yunqi, and the others did not feel the slightest pressure.
To them, only the inner courtyard students could pose a threat to them. These outer courtyard students had nothing to fear.
Even if they could not defeat them, they could protect themselves.
After a while, all of the new students gave in and chose to enter the array.
The old man smiled, "I'm doing this for your own good. When you leave the institute in the future, the situation you will face will be more difficult than now!
Without strength, you won't be able to obtain anything! "
"Since I've said so, it's up to you whether you want to work hard or not!"
"As long as you're strong enough, even your seniors won't be able to snatch away the resources you deserve!"
After saying that, the old man flicked his ten fingers and the fog that shrouded the spiritual energy gathering array dissipated.
"Go in!"
As he spoke, a gust of wind blew, sweeping Lin Ye, Shangguan Yunqi, and the others into the Spirit Array.
"Boom boom boom!"
The moment they entered the Spirit Gathering Array, before anyone could even react, the Spirit Qi that was as turbulent as the sea was crazily injected into their bodies.
Many of the new students had never had the chance to come into contact with a Spirit Gathering Array of this level. Suddenly, they were absorbing the spiritual energy at such a fast speed that the meridians in their bodies swelled up.
In an instant, all the new students didn't dare to speak again, nor did they dare to think too much. They all sat down cross-legged and started to refine the spirit energy within their bodies.
Those who were able to pass the Seibu Gakuen's assessment were not weaklings. They quickly adapted to the environment and activated their techniques to refine the spiritual energy in their bodies.
"Boom boom boom!"
In the first place, the Spirit Qi in the Spirit Gathering Formation was already very pure. There was no need for them to waste time refining it. They could directly absorb it and swallow it into their bodies.
In an instant, everyone's aura gradually rose, and their expressions were incomparably excited.
The increase in their strength was visible to the naked eye, and it made them excited.
While the new students were able to adapt, Lin Ye, Shangguan Yunqi, Muyi, and Shen Lingxiao adapted even faster.
Not only did they rapidly refine the spiritual energy, but they could also increase the speed at which they absorbed the remaining spiritual energy in the air!
In an instant, everyone was cultivating seriously and refining the spiritual energy.
Fifteen minutes later, the speed at which the spiritual energy gathered in the Spirit Gathering Array suddenly increased by a lot.
Many of the new students were hit by the sudden increase in the speed of the spiritual energy, and all of them let out a muffled groan. Immediately, they sped up and adjusted their state.
Lin Ye, Shangguan Yunqi, and the others were already dissatisfied with the speed of the Spirit Gathering Array. Now that the speed increased, they became excited.
After another fifteen minutes, Lin Ye had completely stabilized his cultivation after absorbing a large amount of spiritual energy.
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Ye suddenly increased the speed of refining the spiritual energy. He wanted to use this opportunity to stabilize his cultivation at the peak of Eighth Tribulation half-True Saint.
With the clue of the three thousand heavenly dao, Lin Ye was very concerned about his own cultivation realm.
As long as he cultivated to the Great Sage Realm, Chen Daoxuan would be able to tell him the whereabouts of the three thousand heavenly dao. That way, his future path would be smoother.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
As Lin Ye increased the speed of his absorption, the spiritual energy madly gathered around Lin Ye.
The spiritual energy was surging, and it was thicker than the surging waves of the sea.
In an instant, Shangguan Yunqi, Muyi, and Shen Lingxiao were awakened, and quickly pulled away from Lin Ye, and stood beside Lin Ye, absorbing the spiritual energy that surrounded the outermost layer.
Lin Ye was like an ancient ferocious beast, crazily refining the spiritual energy.
No matter how fast the spiritual energy gathered, under the support of his divine sense, Lin Ye was like a whirlwind, turning the spiritual energy into his own strength.
However, Lin Ye's absorption speed was too fast, to the extent that the spiritual energy spontaneously gathered in one area was insufficient, and gradually, the spiritual energy in other areas was also pulled over!
"Interesting … It seems like the battle will happen soon!"
Outside the array, the old man sipped his tea and looked at the people inside the array, and the corners of his eyes were full of smiles.
In the beginning, it was not obvious, but as time passed, all the spiritual energy in the array began to gather in Lin Ye's direction.
Shangguan Yunqi, Muyi, and Shen Lingxiao gradually adapted to the intensity of the absorption, and helped Lin Ye to absorb some. The rest of the spiritual energy quickly poured into Lin Ye's body, strengthening his physique and strengthening his strength.
In this way, Lin Ye, Shangguan Yunqi, and Muyi were very refreshed, but the speed at which the rest of the people absorbed spiritual energy suddenly dropped by a large margin.
Especially the older students, at the beginning, they had not finished their cultivation, and were too lazy to care about the new students.
After all, if they wanted to come in, they needed thousands of points, and almost all of them came here when they were about to break through, so time was of the essence.
However, all the spiritual energy was absorbed by Lin Ye, and their steps of breaking through were cut off as if someone had chopped it off with an axe.
Ordinary cultivation only required spiritual energy, but this group of people was in the midst of breaking through, and now that the spiritual energy was suddenly cut off, they were all incomparably angry!
"Damn it!"
"Who is so bold?
They even dare to cut off our spiritual energy? "
Many of the older students cursed, and opened their eyes, clenched their fists, and looked in the direction of the spiritual energy.
