The next morning, the mountain fog was thick.

The mad old man swept the ground quietly in front of the hut all night, and from a distance, his slightly clumsy figure was filled with a faint desolation.

At this time, he was standing in front of the thatched hut where Hua Long lived, trembling and stretching out his hand, wanting to push the door but putting it down again and again, hesitating for a long time but never daring to push it open, he was afraid that as soon as the door was pushed open, the scene in front of him was what he did not want to see, and that also meant that a fresh life was gone.

As a former generation of war demons - battlefield slaughterers, at his age, although he has already looked at life and death very lightly, but after more than four years, he likes Hua Long, a kind-hearted but so persistent little boy, if he can, he is not even willing to let Hua Long take this risk, but he has no choice, because there is not much time left for them, and Hua Long is the only hope for him and them.

After hesitating for a long time, in the end, the crazy old man still mustered up the courage to gently push the door open, and at the moment the door opened, he didn't even dare to open his eyes tightly, until a few extremely slight "snoring" sounds came into his ears, and the nervous expression on the crazy old man's face instantly turned into a cloud in the sky.

I was busy opening my eyes and saw that in the room with morning light and shadow, there was dust, and a young man was lying on the ground and falling asleep.

Who else could it be if it wasn't Hualong?

"Did you succeed?" the crazy old man walked a few quick steps and gently came to Hua Long's side.

During the observation, the crazy old man confirmed that Hua Long's valve had been closed, and the spiritual power consumed in his body was also slowly recovering at this time, seeing such a tired Hua Long, the crazy old man seemed to be able to imagine the difficulties and hardships he had had last night.

"It's a strong child!" the crazy old man nodded with satisfaction, and quietly withdrew.

......

At noon, Nanbu Academy.

This is a small private academy, covering an area of only 100 acres, and the teaching buildings are almost all very dilapidated two-story buildings, according to the current people's point of view, these houses basically belong to the ranks of dilapidated houses, and there are six or seven colleges like this near Cold Moon City, the capital of the Cold Moon Empire.

In fact, there are nearly 1,000 students in a small college like Nanwu Academy, many of whom are down-and-out noble children, and after graduating from such an academy, if you are lucky, you may be able to mix with a captain or a captain in the army.

But even this kind of shabby academy still has its time when it has its glory, such as today.

Because of the Cold Moon Empire's royal competition, Nanwu Academy got three qualification certificates to appear in the competition as in previous years. However, the students in the academy did not pay much attention to this, because even if they participated in the competition, they were only acting as a foil for the people of the Imperial Royal Academy, and compared to the indifferent attitude within the academy, the enthusiasm for signing up outside the academy was extremely high.

After all, the venue for the competition at that time was in the palace, and they didn't have the slightest responsibility for the honor of the academy, even if they went to the palace, they could go to the palace to have a look, and open their eyes, wouldn't they?

Therefore, there are many people who have such thoughts, which is enough to explain the fact that there are nearly a thousand people lined up from the president's office of the academy to the outside of the academy, these people not only brought enough gold coins, but some even brought extremely rare mythical beast rings, because the Nanwu Academy is nominally recruiting contestants, but in fact it is a public auction of qualification certificates to compete in the competition.

However, there is a slight difference from previous years, this year's competition qualification certificate is only auctioned two, and the reserve price of each qualification certificate is a gold coin, in other words, whoever gives the highest price will have the qualification certificate!

As for the college's approach of raising the price, the applicants did not express any objections, but the reduction of one place made it a little difficult for them to accept.

It was already autumn, but the temperature was still extremely hot at noon, and the procession that had stood in the sun all morning was still moving slowly. This speed makes the waiting person feel even more upset.

In a crowded line.

"Why is it so slow?" a bearded middle-aged man grumbled.

"Uncle, are you here to participate in the competition too?" Several young people on the side felt a little unbelievable, because the age limit for the competition was fifteen to eighteen years old, but this uncle was at least thirty years old, right?

The middle-aged uncle also looked a little embarrassed about the doubts of the applicants behind him, but he quickly found an excuse, because at this time, an old man, a dirty old man in a sweatshirt and slippers, walked slowly towards them.

The middle-aged uncle suddenly pointed at the old man with a smug expression and said, "See, he is not older than me, haha!"

As soon as he said this, the young people around him were suddenly speechless.

It's just that, unlike those guys waiting in line, this sloppy old man walked straight to the dean's office of Nanwu Academy.

At this time, the four big men blocked the dilapidated small door of the dean's room, and their fierce eyes frightened those who came to sign up and did not dare to say a word. But the old man didn't care about this, and walked up and pushed the door straight in.

This old man is naturally Hualong's master, the crazy old man Rheat.

Step inside, just like the outside, the academy is broken, and this dean's room looks even more broken! The white walls are full of cracks, the corners are crawling with cobwebs and green moss, and what is even more shabby is that the only furnishings in this room of only more than ten square meters are a cracked black table and an almost moldy wooden chair.

At this time, a shriveled old man was lying on the black table, not knowing what he was studying. If you don't look closely, you'll think it's a dried corpse lying on a table.

He is none other than the dean of this Nanwu Academy, An Lipu!

"Coming?" Putting down his glasses, Anlip looked at the crazy old man Rheat with a smile.

The crazy old man nodded slightly, then looked around cautiously, and looked like a thief: "I brought my things, what about yours?"

An Lipu nodded happily and quickly took out a red card from the mezzanine of the drawer: "Nanwu Academy's qualification certificate!"

The crazy old man hurriedly reached out to pick it up.

However, Anlip hurriedly drew the card back, "Wait, I want to inspect the goods first! Don't say I didn't remind you, although we have a deep friendship, but if you are like last time, hum!"

The crazy old man suddenly smiled awkwardly and then put the black package in front of Anlip, when he saw this package, Anlip quickly picked it up and smelled it, and suddenly looked intoxicated: "Oh, it tastes so good!"

The crazy old man immediately nodded with certainty: "I did it exactly according to your requirements, color, taste and style!" The crazy old man knew very well that this Anlip's nose was notoriously accurate, and just by smelling it, he would know whether the contents of this package were good or not.

"Well, very good!" Anlip didn't continue to open the package but directly handed the qualification certificate in his hand to the crazy old man, and then he took out a registration form and asked: "The kid you said about participating in the competition is your apprentice, what's his name?"

The crazy old man smiled slightly and said, "I don't want people to know his identity, so you can write 'God of War', well, this name is good, domineering enough!"

The crazy old man had already decided on Hua Long's final year of study before he came, so it was necessary for him to help Hua Long hide his true strength and identity, even if he participated in the competition, he had to wear his trademark small black face armor.

"Cut, it's also 'God of War', why don't you just give him your title of 'War Demon'? isn't that more domineering?" An Lipu glanced at the crazy old man with disdain and said with a slight disdain, but in the end, he still added the name "God of War" to that blank space.

"The level of the secret beast, and the type of secret beast?"

"Well, just write about the heaven-level secret beast, the type is ......" The crazy old man tilted his head and thought for a long time, he didn't know what Xiao Hei's black guy was, and finally had to find a spirit beast name that was slightly similar to its appearance but extremely awesome in his mind, that is, the Divine Beast Badger! Anyway, there are not many people in the entire continent who have really seen or understood the Divine Beast Beast, and those people are basically not interested in watching these little guys' little fights.

"Are you sure?" was a little choked up, he was one of the few old fellows that the crazy old man knew had actually seen the beast and the pig.

You know, although the strength of the Divine Beast Hedgehog is slightly inferior to the Demon Dragon and the Phoenix, which are really at the top of the pyramid, but it is scarce in number, as far as Anlip knows, the number of Divine Beasts and Pigs in the entire Heavenly Spirit Continent and the surrounding areas that have been proven is only three, in this case, no matter who can catch a Divine Beast Hedgehog as a secret beast, it is an extremely domineering and windy existence, but now the crazy old man Ryath actually said that his apprentice has one in his hands? This is completely a provocation of Chi Guoguo's IQ.

"Hey, I said you dead old man asked so much, you can write whatever you want, really!" The crazy old man suddenly said with a slight embarrassment.

"Okay, if you say it's a divine beast, then it's a divine beast, but I can remind you that you are responsible for all the consequences!" An Lipu shrugged helplessly, shook his head lightly and muttered, he knew very well that once such a writing method was reported, I am afraid that the trouble of the crazy old man's baby apprentice will not be less in the future, after all, a young and uncultivated hairy boy will swagger all over the world with a divine beast and a badly cultivated man, isn't this directly turning on the full screen to taunt and hate there? How can human greed care whether this news is true or false?

But since the crazy old man insisted, he couldn't say anything, just report it truthfully!

It's just that how does he know that the reason why the crazy old man is doing this is nothing more than to prepare for Hua Long's last year of study, what he wants is this effect, only in this way can Hua Long really grow to the maximum extent in the battle of life and death, and their time is really running out!
