The sky was covered with staircase-like fiery clouds, heavy and stacked, from near to far, slowly darkening layer by layer, gradually turning from golden yellow to dark gold.

In a spacious dance studio, Xin Yuan and the four of them sat cross-legged on the wooden floor, except for the five of them, there was no one else here.

After coming here, Xin Yuan didn't say anything, just sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and calmed down, and the four of them didn't dare to ask more, so they sat cross-legged like Xin Yuan. For a moment, the silent pin drop could be heard in the empty classroom, and only one or two faint long breaths could be heard occasionally.

The angle of the light coming in obliquely from the window became more and more oblique, and the light became more and more dim.

As time passed, the minds of the four people, who had been filled with excitement and excitement, gradually calmed down, and their minds regained their clarity.

Xin Yuan opened his eyes and glanced at the four people in front of him, although he was the youngest here, these four people looked completely respectful and did not dare to slack off.

"Congratulations on passing the test and having the qualifications to travel to the real world of martial arts." Xin Yuan looked at the four people in front of him meaningfully, and the corners of his mouth curled: "But, are you prepared to bear the price you have to pay for coming into contact with this world?" He asked softly, clearly in the quiet space.

The four of them glanced at each other, and Le Hong was the first to take the initiative to speak: "We have been prepared for the possible hardships, and we are determined to overcome them, so please teach us." ”

The other three nodded.

Xin Yuan smiled and said slowly: "I don't want to talk to you about the problem of cultivation after entering this world, it doesn't make any sense, how much sweat you put in, and how much you get back is your own business." I just want to tell you that once you enter this world, then you have no room to retreat, not me, nor yourself, but the outside world will always push you forward automatically, and will not change because you want to avoid retreating, and will not give you a choice. Fighting, being injured is the nourishment of growth, killing or being killed is a situation that you can touch at any time, not only yourself, but also the people around you, are you ready for all this? ”

The four of them looked at each other as he said something.

Originally, they all thought that Xin Yuan would say how hard and painful cultivation was, but they didn't expect him to say this at all, but directly presented the most cruel facts and results in front of them and let them make their own choices.

If it was the excitement when they learned that they had just passed the competition, the four of them would definitely agree without thinking about it. But now that I've been sitting quietly with Xin Yuan for so long, those hot blood have long since cooled down, and I can calmly analyze it and start thinking about whether it's worth paying these costs to enter this real martial arts world?

As for the possibility that Xin Yuan lied to them or exaggerated, they ruled it out at the first time. With their understanding of Xin Yuan's person, they knew very well that he didn't need to lie in such an easy place to debunk, which didn't do him any good at all.

Seeing that the four of them were silent with their own thoughts, Xin Yuan did not urge, and waited quietly.

Time passed, and finally one of the four made a choice.

"I'm sorry." Zhou Fanyuan staggered to his feet, his face miserable, "I can't participate in the next one." ”

Xin Yuan was not surprised by his choice, not even by others.

They all know about Zhou Fanyuan's situation, his parents died early, he has two younger sisters to take care of, and there are grandparents who adopted them, Zhou Fanyuan has picked up the burden of the family very early and has been working outside. Joining the martial arts club is for the bonuses of elite cadets and the treatment of free time, and the weight of life brings out his potential, but it also becomes a burden that hinders his progress.

He couldn't let it go, so he had to give up.

But he was able to stand out from the crowd and hone his martial arts to the point where it would be impossible to say that he didn't love martial arts but just as a hobby, but now he had to put it in a coffin and nail it himself, which was especially psychologically devastating.

Shaking his head, he bowed to Xin Yuan, then gave the other three an apologetic look, and then turned to leave the dance studio.

After a while, several people heard him close the door and walk away.

Xin Yuan didn't care about this, which was not a good thing for Zhou Fanyuan. If he reluctantly entered that world, these things he took on were likely to be his most fatal flaws, and he might even be forced by the enemy to betray Xin Yuan and fight back after mastering these flaws.

So he didn't force the other three to walk in if he wanted to, if he couldn't really have the consciousness to step into that world, it would be meaningless.

After a while, Le Hong stood up silently, bowed to Xin Yuan, and left the classroom without looking back.

There were only two left.

Boya twisted his neck impatiently, made a clicking sound, turned his head to look at Lin Lijia on the side, and pouted: "Don't waste time, hurry up if you want to leave, I'm definitely not leaving." ”

Hearing this, Lin Lijia grinned, with some morbid fanaticism: "Why should I leave for such a fun thing?" Even if I leave one behind, I'll participate. ”

"Not leaving?" Boya was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at Xin Yuan, "Look, there are already results." ”

Xin Yuan glanced at the remaining two, among whom Boya was a violent maniac and extremely fanatical in his pursuit of martial arts, otherwise it would be impossible to suppress a large number of men to climb to this position in the martial arts club as a woman; And Lin Lijia has psychological problems, it is said that he was bullied by older children for a long time when he was a child, and his life was very miserable, so he had a pathological pursuit of force.

For these two people to succeed, it was not his expectation.

It is not a normal person who can take the initiative to enter this cruel world.

"In that case, let's get started."

Xin Yuan said, raised his right hand, stretched out his index finger, and slowly slid through the void, and the trajectory of his fingertips suddenly appeared out of thin air, like a burning path.

The speed of his finger movement continued to increase, and the traces of flames continued to appear and combine together, forming strange and complex rune patterns and combining them together. Later, Boya and Lin Lizhi could no longer see the movements of Xin Yuan's fingers at all, but they saw a phantom constantly shaking in the air, as if there were countless Xin Yuan's hands moving, and the floating flame tracks were completely unclear, but at this time, they seemed to be able to see a vertical pupil like a black hole slowly opening in that phantom.

This strange feeling made both of them feel uncomfortable nausea, as if they were dizzy, but their eyes were reluctant to look away for a moment.

Call!

The wind was blowing in the dance studio, where the doors and windows were all closed.

A gust of gale spread around Xin Yuan, as if they were fleeing frantically as if they were avoiding him, and the hunting of the corners of the three people's clothes rang out, and the eyes of Boya and Lin Li had to be narrowed into a slit.

After a while, the wind stopped, and the two opened their eyes, and saw Xin Yuan spread out his hands, and a scarlet flame floated on the palms of both hands.

"Reach out, one at a time." Xin Yuan stretched his hands forward.

Without hesitation, Boya and Lin Li stretched out their hands and grabbed the flame that belonged to them.

At the moment when the palms of the two people touched the flames, the flames suddenly shook as if they had vitality, and they suddenly drilled into the palms of the two people.

The two of them instantly stiffened and couldn't move.
