Chapter 827.
Woo~
The sound of a majestic horn spread throughout the White Deer Academy in an instant, spreading in all directions.
The gates of the academy roared open, and a team of heavily armed teenagers fishtailed out in perfect order.
These teenagers were the first batch of disciples recruited by the White Deer Academy, numbering three thousand.
All of them came from the homes of commoners, and they knew how valuable it was to be able to learn and practice martial arts in the academy, so almost all of them were extremely diligent and hardworking.
Most importantly, these teenagers usually practiced the Dragon Tiger Fist Technique that Wang Chen had personally passed down, and they also had two full meals of meat every day, so their qi and blood complemented each other’s progress rapidly.
A year and a half down, not eliminated out of the disciples have been successfully promoted to the martial arts, of which the majority of the second-order refining meat level, the third-order bone refining increasing.
As the saying goes, a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, for today’s action, everyone’s ambition was high!
Every teenager was carrying a longbow and a battle knife, with daggers strapped to their waists and leather armor to protect their bodies.
When the three thousand teenage martial artists lined up in front of the academy’s gates, the upwardly mobile aura made people look at them.
Even Wang Chen was infected and immediately waved his hand and droned, “Depart!”
“Battle! Battle! Battle!”
The academy disciples chanted in unison, gathering an aura that shot up into the clouds.
Under the cheering of tens of thousands of senior brothers and sisters, and under the onlookers of countless neighbors and peasants, the three thousand teenagers majestically marched forward with big strides.
With Wang Chen as the commander-in-chief, three innate powerhouses and a hundred Marrow Refining Martial Artists accompanied them.
This was White Deer Academy’s first external collective action since its inception, aiming for the Misty Area dozens of miles away.
There were rolling hills, lush forests, and ferocious beasts that inhabited them over there.
Wang Dust’s purpose was to practice.
Flowers cultivated in greenhouses were weak, and eagles could only truly grow up by soaring through the sky and fighting with the wind and thunder.
Wang Chen gave three thousand teenagers the task of searching and clearing the mountain.
Searching the mountains, searching for medicinal herbs and ferocious beasts.
Clear the mountain, collect and hunt!
The group of three thousand people, pulling back and forth for half a mile, was truly vast.
Although White Deer Academy was located in the outskirts of the Taiwu City area, such a big noise still attracted the attention of many people.
They came over to investigate one after another.
All sorts of news quickly spread back to the city as if they had wings, causing many forces to be astonished and puzzled.
The team of three thousand teenagers accelerated their speed and soon left the White Deer Academy far behind.
After a sharp march, the team arrived at the edge of the Misty Zone.
The visibility in front of them dropped steeply, and they couldn’t see the scene inside clearly at a distance of a few dozen paces, and the thick mists were like a huge wall that cut off everyone’s sight.
It also hid countless dangers.
Although it was said that this place was not very far from Taiwu City, and was relatively not very dangerous.
However, no one could say that there wouldn’t be powerful and terrifying beasts in the mists!
Some teenagers couldn’t help but gulp.
The fear of the mists and ferocious beasts actually existed in the bloodline of every Misty Mountain Realm native, and it was difficult to erase it easily.
“Are you guys scared?”
Wang Chen stopped and turned around to say in a deep voice, “If you’re afraid, you can go back now!”
His gaze swept over every young face.
But all the youngsters who were swept by Wang Dust’s gaze subconsciously lifted their chests.
“Not afraid!”
First one person, then the second, the third ……
Three thousand teenagers, calling out like a tide!
No one chose to retreat.
Whoever gave up at this time, then he would never be able to raise his head in this life, not to mention going back to the academy to continue his studies!
Weaklings were not contemptible, cowards were most reviled!
“Forward!”
Under Wang Chen’s leadership, the three thousand teenagers stepped into the mist without hesitation.
And right at this time, a marvelous situation appeared, as the team entered, the thick mist unexpectedly dispersed automatically, as if it had purposely made way and space for them.
It was also as if the teenagers’ condensed qi had drained away the mist!
Everyone stepped through the grass, climbed up the hill, and went deep into the dense forest.
Then these teenagers, under the guidance and instruction of the martial arts masters, began to search and collect herbs that grew in the wilderness, as well as other materials that could be utilized!
As the saying goes, “The grace of rising rice is not as good as the hatred of fighting rice.” Unilateral and long-term unconditional payment could easily cause people to lose the desire to strive and be grateful, and Wang Chen did not want to cultivate a group of white-eyed wolves.
Even though his fundamental purpose of establishing the White Deer Academy and the Ci Shi Medicine Villa was to condense the spiritual light of humanity.
However, Wang Chen did not intend to keep providing free lunches!
Especially now that White Deer Academy was facing suppression and calculations from the forces in the city, it was even more important for these carefully trained teenagers to show their value.
The academy disciples basically had little wilderness experience, but gathering wasn’t something difficult, and after acquiring some knowledge of recognizing herbal materials, these teenagers flooded the mountains and forests like locusts.
As long as they saw herbs, unless they were unusable seedlings, they would all be in their pockets.
Those herbs that grew in the bushes and rock crevices, no matter how secretive they were, could not escape the search of the three thousand people.
Some rare medicinal herbs of last years were unearthed in this way!
And the martial arts masters were either teaching on the spot amongst the teenagers or cruising around to protect everyone’s safety.
As time passed, there was no more fear in the hearts of the academy disciples.
It felt as if they had come for an excursion to trek.
There was a lot of laughter.
The team continued to go deeper and deeper into the mountain, collecting more and more medicinal herbs.
Ringing bell…
Suddenly, a clear bell ringing along with the mountain wind reached everyone’s ears.
Some teenagers couldn’t help but follow the sound and immediately changed their faces, “Fierce beasts!”
Only to see a small calf-like wolf beast appear in the mountain forest in front of them, they kept approaching the academy disciples, and there were more hiding in the mist.
The shadows of the beasts were like ghosts, invisibly bringing great pressure.
The martial artists who were responsible for patrolling, however, tacitly retreated backwards, actually allowing the disciples to face the threat of the wolf beasts head on!
“Formation!”
Despite the suddenness of the incident, there was still a bold and careful teenager who reacted in time and shouted, “Block the enemy!”
It wasn’t that he had natural leadership skills, but he had usually learned how to deal with various dangerous situations.
As long as he remained calm, he wouldn’t mess up!
The other teenagers woke up and removed the longbows on their backs as fast as they could.
A sharp arrow that shone with a cold light was aimed at the looming beasts ahead in unison.
“Shoot!”
Swoosh!
In the blink of an eye, hundreds and thousands of arrows shot out from the strings, forming a dense rain of arrows in the air.
It covered a wolf beast!
Puff! Plop!
The wolf beast at the front was hit by dozens of arrows at the same time, and even though it had steel bones, it was also shot and howled miserably.
Covered in blood, it fell to the ground headfirst!
