Chapter 959
The students, who were just excited, hesitated when they heard "mortality rate."
After all, for such exceptional individuals, life belongs not only to themselves but also to their race.
Therefore, matters that could potentially endanger one's life cannot be decided based on personal will.
Many students immediately contacted their elders in their clans.
Some students, without hesitation, went up to the podium to receive their battlefield tokens.
but……
These students, who did not hesitate, seemed to deliberately follow some unspoken rule when receiving their battlefield tokens.
The student who resembled "Sha Wujing" and had spoken to the dean earlier was not quick to step forward.
Yet it carries with it an invisible aura.
None of the other students dared to rush ahead of him.
After receiving the token, he glanced at the other students and sighed somewhat boredly:
"With Qiu Fu and Jiu Jie gone, all that's left are bloodless wretches."
At first glance, this sounds like talking to oneself.
But it was precisely this extremely frank attitude that revealed the most sincere... mockery and contempt.
However, the students, who were described as "heartless," only looked slightly embarrassed before quickly becoming nonchalant.
It seemed they hadn't heard "Sha Wujing's" sarcasm at all.
However, upon hearing "Sha Wujing's" words, Jiang Yi vaguely guessed the identity of this "Sha Wujing".
Because he vaguely remembered—
Previously, when the two deans of Changsheng Academy and Wuliang Academy were engaged in a heated debate at the Nine-Story Tower, the dean of Changsheng Academy mentioned three names.
Autumn's Fu, Seeking Enlightenment, and Nine Tribulations.
Furthermore, it was stated that these three individuals were S-rank seeds from the Boundless Academy.
Furthermore, based on the exchange between the two deans at the time…
Jiu Jie appears to be dead.
Dean Wuliang, on the other hand, wanted to mold Jiang Yi into a second identity for the Nine Tribulations.
He used the same argument to quarrel with Dean Changsheng.
Therefore, Sha Wujing mentioned "Qiu Fu" and "Nine Tribulations", but not "Seeking Enlightenment".
Clearly, he is Xunwu.
This name does contain the character "悟" (wu), just like Sha Wujing's.
However, his appearance has nothing to do with the word "enlightenment".
Jiang Yi had no intention of causing trouble, so he completely blended in with those "bloodless things" and watched as Xun Wu casually took the token and left.
After he left, the other students who were preparing to receive their tokens did not scatter in a panic, but continued to follow a certain tacit understanding.
The second person to receive the token was a boy with blue pupils and animal-like ears.
The boy's face had fair and tender skin, and he had a childlike appearance.
However, the exposed backs of his hands, forearms, and calves were covered with thick hair.
This makes him appear somewhat disconnected.
Of course, from a human perspective, there is a sense of disconnect.
From the perspective of the beastmen, it was clear that the boy's human appearance was too immature, so he deliberately exposed part of his beastman form.
This situation is quite common in the City of Myriad Races.
The second boy to receive the token clearly did not possess the overwhelming strength that Xun Wu had.
He simply accepted the token; he didn't mock anyone else.
The third person to receive the token was an orc with even more abundant body hair.
However, his fur was brownish-yellow, and even his face was covered with long brownish-yellow fur, making him look like a golden lion king.
The golden-haired lion king walked with a majestic and imposing posture, looking quite intimidating.
Jiang Yi watched as three classmates received their tokens in a seemingly predetermined order, and then he grew bored.
So, he stepped forward without hesitation, breaking the unspoken agreement.
Almost simultaneously with him stepped forward was a burly...man?
No, that's not right.
The "burly man" glared at him fiercely, then suddenly snorted coldly:
"What are you? Don't think I'm easy to bully just because I'm a female beast?"
"..."
Female beast?
Judging from the voice, it seems... it really is a female beast.
This question made Jiang Yi feel quite embarrassed.
Adhering to the principle of ladies first, he took half a step back and made a "please" gesture.
The burly woman gave a rather arrogant snort before raising her chin and accepting the token.
After she finished receiving her order, Jiang Yi finally went up.
Just then, an angry voice came from behind:
"Where did you come from, you freak? Don't you know any rules?!"
"..."
This time, Jiang Yi ignored the guy and brazenly asked the dean:
"What rules? I don't understand. Could the dean please explain them to me?"
His words caused the entire auditorium to fall silent for a moment.
Almost all eyes, filled with different emotions, were fixed on him.
Dean Wuliang appeared to be a kind and approachable elder.
He still had a kind and benevolent look on his face. After glancing at Jiang Yi, he smiled and explained to the other students in the auditorium:
"I don't know the rules or anything like that. But I can introduce them to everyone here—"
"This student—Jiang Yi—is the second identity of 'Nine Tribulations,' an S-level seed student of our academy!"
Upon hearing this, those in the room who were looking towards Jiang Yi suddenly widened their pupils.
Shock, confusion, disbelief, and... doubt!
Those who dared to question the dean were naturally the most outstanding students.
For example, the one who led the group, Xunwu.
He stared intently at Jiang Yi, almost blurting out: He can't possibly be a Nine Tribulations!
However, Xunwu received a warning look from the dean.
He dared to speak with the dean in a humble yet assertive manner, but he did not dare to directly defy the dean's will.
Therefore, Xunwu swallowed his doubts.
Seeing that even an S-class seed like him, who was most qualified to question, didn't raise any questions, the other students naturally knew when to back down.
Those equally skeptical glances quickly died down.
Seeing that the situation was under control, the dean smiled and handed the battlefield token to Jiang Yi.
He looked like a smiling tiger, slowly and leisurely approaching Jiang Yi:
"The city lord has already explained your situation and Ji Chen's situation to me."
Jiang Yi accepted the battlefield token and nodded casually.
According to Little Silver Dragon, City Lord Woruo seems to have made up a story that Ji Chen and Jiang Yi participated in this "Special Training for Prodigies" because they were given an extra task by the First Alliance.
Therefore, they were essentially working for the First Alliance.
Worro naturally had to give instructions, and no one could stop the two from taking action.
Dean Wuliang had previously implied that Jiang Yi was the second identity of the "Nine Tribulations," so this was naturally a logical conclusion.
With the little silver dragon as his "backer," Jiang Yi felt relaxed.
He received the battlefield token, but instead of leaving immediately, he asked the dean a question:
"Of the three S-rank seeds from our Boundless Academy, Xunwu and I are both here, so why is Qiufu the only one missing?"
Upon hearing this, Xunwu also looked over.
A complex look flashed across the dean's eyes.
