Chapter 1046: Make Your Own Choice
"What nonsense!" The Vice-principal was instantly furious.
He was clearly truly angry at Xiao Yi's indifferent attitude.
Yet, it was Xiao Yi's current nonchalant demeanor that left him helpless.
Xiao Yi remained silent, not even glancing at his outraged expression.
"Phew." The Vice-principal exhaled heavily, his calm demeanor was evidently excellent, and the anger on his face dissipated in an instant.
"Really not going to talk?" The Vice-principal asked again.
Xiao Yi shook his head, remaining silent.
"Is it a complicated matter?" The Vice-principal asked again.
Xiao Yi nodded, still silent.
The Vice-principal squinted his eyes, "I understand, you want to solve it yourself."
Before Xiao Yi could react, the Vice-principal quickly added, "No need to fool me."
"For someone who the Black Cloud Academy cannot even find much information on, the issues related to you are probably not simple matters."
"Although what I have on you isn't much."
"But within just one year's worth of information, you have no enemies, which is quite surprising to me."
"As for the reason why you have no enemies, it's quite simple..."
The Vice-principal's tone suddenly became peculiar, "In fact, within the year, your enemies and adversaries were countless."
"The battles you've been through almost never ceased, and you've fought your way here."
"Yet up until now, you are living well, but your enemies and adversaries have all died."
Since the enemies and adversaries have perished, naturally there are no enemies left.
"You're quite skilled and remarkable, and you want to solve your own problems yourself." The Vice-principal finished speaking in one breath.
Xiao Yi still remained silent, not speaking.
After a while, the Vice-principal shook his head, and without saying more, took out a scroll.
"Take it."
Xiao Yi frowned and asked with confusion, "What is this?"
The Vice-principal replied, "These are assessment tasks from the academy, there are several hundred in total."
"Choose some tasks."
"You have half a month's time left, aim to return early."
"I don't wish for the academy to lose a formidable student," the Vice-principal said irritably.
Xiao Yi was taken aback, then smiled and saluted the Vice-principal, "Thank you."
This action from the Vice-principal represented that he wouldn't inquire further.
"Thank you for what?" The Vice-principal shrugged, "I just think that, one day you'll be willing to talk, I'm not in a hurry for now."
The Vice-principal's tone was full of confidence.
Xiao Yi did not know where his confidence came from, perhaps he was confident in the academy, or maybe confident in himself.
Xiao Yi did not know, nor did he ask, he just smiled lightly, not speaking.
"Alright, finish choosing your tasks and then go away." The Vice-principal finished speaking, stood up from the stone stool, dusted off his sleeve angrily, and turned to leave.
Xiao Yi gave a helpless smile, but it was a relaxed smile.
He suddenly thought that leaving Heavenly Hidden Academy might actually be a very good choice.
This Black Cloud Academy, perhaps he did not come here by mistake.
Xiao Yi looked at the scroll in his hand, selected some tasks, and then turned to leave.
Although only half a month was left, it was enough for him.
...
Time flew by, half a month passed in an instant.
When he returned to Black Cloud Academy, the enrollment ceremony was just beginning.
Still on that open square.
A group of Heavenly Talents were already waiting here.
The Vice-principal was also present.
"You rascal, I thought you wouldn't come back." The Vice-principal scolded.
"You, always have to return at the last moment?" Tong Ye rolled his eyes.
"I also thought you had left."
Suddenly, Tong Ye's face changed, "Huh, wait, you rascal, you've got such a strong scent of blood and killing intent."
The Vice-principal squinted his eyes and stared at Xiao Yi with knitted brows.
At this moment, Xiao Yi's expression was cold, with a slight exhaustion beneath the coldness.
With steady footsteps, he walked towards the crowd, but each step seemed to land heavily on everyone's hearts, causing their hearts to tremble.
"Just finished my last task, made it back on time," Xiao Yi came to the Vice-principal and said lightly.
"Last task?" The Vice-principal furrowed his brows and took Xiao Yi's task scroll.
The next second, his expression changed.
"You took on so many tasks?"
"And completed them all?"
On the task scroll, a dense array of assessment tasks was evident.
"Completed." Xiao Yi nodded and took out a Qiankun Bag.
"Inside the Qiankun Bag are the completion credentials for each task."
The Vice-principal opened it to take a look, and his expression was shocked.
In the Qiankun Bag, there were demon beast heads, letters, Sect Leader Tokens from certain factions, and tokens, among other things.
"Go verify them." The Vice-principal handed the Qiankun Bag to Hui Deacon beside him.
Hui Deacon took it, nodded, and turned to leave.
After a while, Hui Deacon returned, his expression somewhat strange.
"How was it?" The Vice-principal asked.
Hui Deacon nodded, "All verified accurately."
"Hiss." The Vice-principal took a sharp breath, "Kid, a total of 110 assessment tasks, involved forces and individuals numbering more than two hundred."
"In half a month's time, you completed them all."
The surrounding Heavenly Talents heard this and were also visibly shocked, "Is this guy crazy?"
"Half a month, completing 110 assessment tasks, averaging nearly 8 tasks a day."
"He probably ran through the entire Black Cloud Region."
The crowd suddenly understood why Xiao Yi's eyes carried exhaustion and why he was covered in an intense scent of blood.
Xiao Yi smiled lightly, "Enrollment assessment, generous rewards."
"Such an opportunity, I naturally couldn't miss it."
The Vice-principal shook his head, "You're quite smart."
As he spoke, the Vice-principal took out a Black Cloud Jade Pendant and handed it to Xiao Yi.
"Alright, everyone else's pendants have been distributed, you're the last one."
"Hui Deacon, bring the rewards." The Vice-principal instructed.
Hui Deacon left, and after a while, came back.
With a wave of his hand, the ground was suddenly covered densely, with Qiankun Bags piled like mountains.
At this moment, the Vice-principal's hand produced a scroll again.
With a wave of his hand, text floated in front of everyone from the scroll.
The Vice-principal then said, "There are two reward options, but you can only choose one."
"One is the reward for passing the task assessment and officially becoming a disciple of Black Cloud Academy."
"Inside are a large number of cultivation items and some treasures."
"The other option is these texts before you."
"Recorded are materials on various Martial Arts Elders within the academy."
"You can choose a suitable elder to seek their knowledge of Martial Arts."
Two choices: either generous rewards or the opportunity to consult Martial Arts Elders.
"Which is better?" A Heavenly Talent couldn't help but ask.
"There is no distinction of good or bad." The Vice-principal shook his head, "It's only about suitability."
"Whichever reward you choose relies entirely on your own decision."
The Vice-principal finished speaking, looking playfully at the group of Heavenly Talents.
...
The third update.
