Upon hearing the Ice Elder's words, Xiao Fang and the rest smiled as though they had been relieved of a heavy burden.
After going through so many hardships, they had finally officially joined the Five Elements Academy.
From then on, they would become students of the Five Elements Academy and would no longer be part of the younger generation in the secular world.
"Five Elements Academy, we are here."
Xiao Fang and the rest stared at the Five Elements Peak that reached the clouds and took a deep breath as they thought to themselves.
The Five Elements Academy was an academy with a long history. When this academy was born, it immediately occupied the entire Five Elements Province, causing all the sects within the enormous Five Elements Province to submit to it.
It was said that within the Five Elements Academy, there was someone who had surpassed the True Martial Realm. With a stomp of his foot, the entire Ancient Sword Continent would tremble.
Of course, this was only a legend. Until now, no one had seen the Five Elements Academy's person who had surpassed the True Martial Realm.
One had to know that in the Ancient Sword Continent, the True Martial Realm was already considered a top expert. Experts who had surpassed the True Martial Realm could destroy the entire Ancient Sword Continent with a flip of their hand.
Under the Ice Elder's lead, Fang Chen and the rest quickly headed towards the Five Elements Peak.
The closer they got to the Five Elements Peak, the more shocked Fang Chen and the rest were.
No wonder it was rumored to be the most dangerous place in the Five Elements State. The Five Elements Peak gave everyone a very shocking feeling. Of course, in addition to the shock, there was also a strong sense of danger.
"What an oppressive aura." Fang Chen could not help but sigh.
After hearing this, the student who followed the Ice Elder beside Fang Chen explained, "The Five Elements Peak is so tall that it reaches the clouds. We are only halfway up the mountain. When we enter the Five Elements Academy, the air there is even more oppressive."
Fang Chen heard this and nodded.
Perhaps it was because of the Ice Elder, but this student seemed to have a good impression of Fang Chen and was indifferent to the other five.
Along the way, this student explained some things about the Five Elements Academy to Fang Chen.
Mo Xin was a student of the Five Elements Academy. His cultivation had reached the fifth level of the Spiritual Whirlpool Realm. He had followed Elder Bing here to welcome Fang Chen and the others.
"Senior Brother Mo Xin," Fang Chen cupped his hands towards Mo Xin and said, "How many students are there in the Five Elements Academy?"
Hearing Fang Chen's words, Mo Xin said, "Everyone knows that the Five Elements Academy is the absolute overlord of the Five Elements Academy. However, there aren't many students in the academy. After so many years, excluding the students who left the Five Elements Academy, there are only about a hundred students left."
"More than a hundred."
Xiao Fang and the others were a little surprised when they heard this.
The overlord forces of the Five Elements Province only had a little over a hundred young disciples.
"Our Five Elements Academy doesn't care about quantity. We only care about quality," Mo Xin explained when he saw the surprise on Xiao Fang and the others' faces.
Fang Chen nodded to show that he understood.
What was the use of quantity if the quality wasn't high?
From his conversation with Mo Xin, Fang Chen found out that Xu Yang and Zhou Qiang were only students at the bottom of the Five Elements Academy. As for Mo Xin, he could be considered a middle to lower class student.
As for the top experts of the younger generation, some had even reached the advanced level of the Spiritual Whirlpool Realm.
After Fang Chen heard this, he was also shocked.
Even in the Five Elements Province, experts at the advanced level of the Spiritual Whirlpool Realm could be considered a feudal lord.
Even in the Ancient Sword Continent, as long as one didn't provoke a Real Martial Realm expert, nothing would happen.
As expected of the Five Elements Academy, their foundation was too deep. It wasn't something that an ordinary Sect could compare to.
If a Six Star Sect could be so powerful, then what about a Seven Star Sect or even a Sect that was even more powerful?
Just as the crowd was talking, the group had already arrived at the main entrance of the Five Elements Academy.
Halfway up the Five Elements Peak, there was a majestic door. This door was very majestic. Outside the door, there were two guards.
Fang Chen could clearly feel that the aura of these two guards was very thick. Their cultivation was at least at the Fifth Level of the Spiritual Whirlpool Realm.
"The Five Elements Academy is really powerful. Even the guards are at the Fifth Level of the Spiritual Whirlpool Realm." Xiao Fang couldn't help but exclaim.
As for He Jingwei and the others, they were already shocked by the glory of the Five Elements Academy.
They had never seen such a majestic Sect. It was as if they were in a fairyland. The spiritual energy was many times more abundant than the outside world.
"Ice Elder."
Just as the crowd was exclaiming, the two guards cupped their hands and greeted Ice Elder.
Ice Elder nodded and then led the group into the Five Elements Academy.
Just as they entered the Five Elements Academy, Xu Yang and Zhang Qiang left. The two of them had lost to this batch of newcomers, which made them feel disgraced. They didn't want to stay any longer.
Just as they entered the Five Elements Academy, there were Elders who came to welcome Ice Elder.
"Ice Elder, Blood Spear Elder told me long ago. Hahaha, I didn't expect these six fellows to pass the newcomer assessment." A fat Elder said with a chuckle.
"I'll leave the six of them to you."
After Ice Elder finished speaking, he turned to look at the six of them. Finally, his gaze landed on Fang Chen. "If you've thought it through, come and find me."
With that, Ice Elder left.
Ice Elder was one of the higher-ups of the Five Elements Academy. Naturally, he wouldn't waste his time on such a trivial matter.
Hence, after bringing them to the Five Elements Academy, he left.
Seeing that Ice Elder had left, Mo Xin nodded at Fang Chen and turned to leave.
Before he left, Mo Xin told Fang Chen to look for him if he encountered any difficulties in the Five Elements Academy. He also told him his location.
In the end, only Fang Chen and the fat Elder were left in the square of the Five Elements Academy.
"I'm the Miscellaneous Elder of the Five Elements Academy. Follow me," the Miscellaneous Elder said as he looked at the six of them.
Along the way, the Miscellaneous Elder explained the rules of the Five Elements Academy to the six of them.
"The rules of the Five Elements Academy are very strict. It's best that you don't wander around. There are some places that new disciples like you can't enter," the Miscellaneous Elder said.
After a while, the Miscellaneous Elder brought the six of them to the edge of the square. From here, they could see the endless peaks of the Five Elements Peak.
"The peak that we are at is an ordinary peak of the Five Elements Academy. This peak is also the place where the ordinary disciples train with each other.
As for the other peaks, they are where the disciples train, "the Miscellaneous Elder explained slowly.
After listening to the Miscellaneous Elder's explanation, Fang Chen and the others knew that after becoming a disciple of the Five Elements Academy, each of them would be able to get a peak that belonged to them.
Of course, there were good and bad peaks. The weak disciples would definitely not be able to get a good peak.
As for the main peak, only with the permission of the higher-ups of the Sect could they enter.
"The six of you will each choose a peak in that area," the Miscellaneous Elder said.
Fang Chen and the others began to choose their peaks. Xiao Fang was the first to choose, followed by He Jingwei. Fang Chen was the last to choose.
The peak that Fang Chen chose was called Sword-hidden Peak.
"On normal days, you just need to train on the peak. Don't run around. Of course, you can also come to this peak to communicate with each other. Don't hit the peaks of the disciples. Without permission, it's best not to barge in. If something happens, it will be difficult to deal with." The Miscellaneous Elder reminded them.
Subsequently, the Miscellaneous Elder gave Fang Chen and the others the uniforms and tokens of the Five Elements Academy.
When Fang Chen and the others put on the special uniforms of the Five Elements Academy, they immediately felt that the pressure in the air disappeared in an instant. They felt extremely comfortable.
The Miscellaneous Elder gave the six of them a booklet. This booklet introduced all the information about the Five Elements Academy.
Of course, the academy naturally had classes.
The Five Elements Academy had a total of more than 100 students, so there were very few students in each class, only about 10.
The Five Elements Academy had a total of 10 classes. Fang Chen and the others were assigned to Class 10, which was the last class.
"Every day, there is a major class that you must attend. As for the other classes, you can choose at will." The Miscellaneous Elder said.
After the Miscellaneous Elder settled Fang Chen and the others, he turned around and left.
"The competition in the Five Elements Academy will definitely be more intense than in the Five Elements Academy. We must work hard to train and strive to be outstanding in the Five Elements Academy." Qing Jingtong said excitedly.
"Yes, it's really great to be able to train in the Five Elements Academy." Sun Qiwen said.
"The Five Elements Academy is simply a sacred place for warriors to train. The spiritual energy here is too abundant. I must seize the time to train." He Jingwei said.
Even Xiao Fang, who was ranked first in the Hidden Dragon Ranking, couldn't hold back his excitement. After all, this was the Five Elements Academy.
As for Luo Zhongtian, his eyes were twinkling. He stared at Fang Chen and said, "Fang Chen, I am looking forward to the battle between us."
After they finished talking, they directly left this peak and set foot on their own peaks.
Fang Chen arrived at the Sword-hidden Peak and was stopped by the guarding warrior.
"Who are you?" The warrior said in a deep voice.
Fang Chen took out his own token. After the guarding warrior saw it, his face immediately became respectful. He then said with a smile, "It's Young Master Fang. I am the guarding warrior of the Sword-hidden Peak. Please come in."
Under the guidance of the guarding warrior, Fang Chen entered the Sword-hidden Peak.
There was a layer of restriction around the Sword-hidden Peak, which could gather the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.
The whole Sword-hidden Peak was not big. One could see the end of it at a glance. Fang Chen looked around.
"Young Master Fang, you are new disciples, so you can only live in these mountains with bad environments. In the future, when your status in the Five Elements Academy rises, you will be able to change to a better mountain." The martial artist guarding the mountain said in a low voice.
Fang Chen nodded. Along the way, he had found many good mountains. In comparison, the Sword-hidden Peak was far worse.
However, the Five Elements Academy respected the strong. As a new disciple, Fang Chen could understand that his treatment was not as good as that of the seniors.
Just as Fang Chen was talking, suddenly a young woman came out of the palace of the Sword-hidden Peak. She came to Fang Chen's side and saluted, "Young Master, I am the maid of the Sword-hidden Peak. I specially serve the master of the Sword-hidden Peak."
Fang Chen was stunned when he heard this.
